I’m mostly here for the fanarts. I don’t have a lot of patience so I won’t argue with you depending on how dumb or how long it is. I’ll admit if I am wrong
tw: suicide
I want to talk about men's mental health month. And before anyone says anything, I know June is a month for a lot more as well. We can celebrate all these things at the same time. They dont cancel each other out. This specific post is just about men's mental health. 💙
In just the past 2 months, I've seen and heard about 3 men's suicide. One was a childhood friend, another a friends brother, and another someone who I'm sure people in the VTubing world also heard about. And this is only in the past 2 months and only the ones I know about. There could be so many others who suffer in silence, pressured to always be strong until they can't anymore.
I know there's bad men out there who hurt people. But what about the ones who are genuinely good and also were hurt? They deserve to be shown kindness and gentleness as well. The change in the world we want to see, it starts with us.
To the men who might feel invisible or struggling, I'd like to say that it's okay and safe to be soft and gentle. It doesn't make you weak. It's okay to have emotions, to not be okay, to not always have it all together. You do matter. People will be sad when you leave. People who might have only talked to you for a single moment, they will care. I promise. You don't have to join the 27 club. You can go beyond it. You will be okay, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Lead with kindness. You never know who's battling with what. ❤️🩹
some vtubers are just disabled.
some vtubers lost their jobs.
some vtubers just . . . fall short on cash cause of emergencies or LIFE . . .
the world is a very stinkie place right now.
let’s encourage and uplift, instead of pocket watching and shitting on others.

As you casually do. Really tho, how is Childe still up and about to do this again?
Happy Men’s Mental Health Month! 🤍
I talk a lot about how much mental health means to me, for myself and for the people I care about. I think a huge part of being a vtuber is being a stable friendly place for people with similar interests to come together and genuinely care about each other to build and grow together. Obviously vtubers can’t fix everything but so many of us try our best to make you smile and feel a little more sparkly each day.
This month, if you haven’t, please promise to prioritize yourself 🤍 do something every day that makes you smile, take your vitamins, eat a healthy meal when you can!!! There is only one of you, please take care of you!! Life as a whole isn’t easy but it does get a lot easier when you have a community to get through it with. Reach out, talk to your friends, make friends, be silly!!! Find things to inspire you and things that make you feel sparkly!! Try a new hobby you’ve been considering!! Start working out!! Whatever you do, just don’t forget there are people who want you to be happy all around you 🤍🤍🤍

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month!
Real strength isn’t silence or keeping your thoughts and feelings bottled up, it’s speaking up when you’re struggling, when you need help.
You’re not weak for needing help. You’re human. ❤️🩹
Seeing how I've lost some followers here and subscribers on YouTube after my Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and Pride Month posts; I thought it would be important to say this...
June is both Men's Mental Health Month and Pride Month, neither of them are more important than the other, both are extremely important to me and they both deserve recognition and advocacy. Straight men, gay men, bi men, trans men, all deal with mental health challenges, often made worse by 'man up' culture, discrimination, and toxic masculinity.
Supporting awareness for EVERYONE isn't contradictory; it's just consistent.
How does acknowledging both of these things hurt anyone?
I will ALWAYS be a safe space and advocate for BOTH Men's Mental Health AND LGBTQIA, that will never change.
Thank y'all for being the best community I could ever ask for ❤️🩹
