Why wait until release day when you can have the game two days early? 😏

The video game godds heard my pleas; they agree that only the digital people getting Early Access is bullsh*t and a dick move to those of us who proudly buy physical, and have seen fit to compensate me 😌

Taking a little break from the schedule and social media so I can focus on my body, mind and spirit 💙
Screenshot of iOS Notes app. It reads: “Good timezones all! 👋 Letting y’all know I’m taking a little break: maybe a few days, or a few weeks. I’ve been contemplating this a while and it’s become clear a break is necessary for my wellbeing. You’ll see me around, just know I’m not prioritising socialisation, especially if we’re not close or communicating regularly. You may still message me as normal - please do not share world news with me unless it’s 100% positive - but don’t expect full replies, if any.” - the phrase “do not” is in bold. “My existing obligations will still be honoured, of course; I’m still here as a stream moderator when I can be, and I’m still participating in events I’ve agreed to (which you’ll learn more about soon 👀) I may even stream (on Twitch or Discord) if I’m feeling up for it! But only if I know it’ll support my needs during this break. Thank y’all for always encouraging me to take care of myself. I’ll be back before ya know it! ;)”

💙 THANK YOU 💙

Our #StreamForMind event ended with a total of £303 raised for @mind.org.uk!

We hit our initial goal of £250 and have this lovely pin badge to celebrate all we achieved together! 🥳

We also hit the £300 stretch goal so you can expect a Hedgie Stream reward coming soon! 🦔
Photograph of a StreamForMind pin badge attached to cardboard backing and in a clear film packet. The badge is circular with a deep blue colour. Embossed is a white triangle akin to a “play button” with two dark blue arches sat together near the top, imitating joyful eyes. Dark pink headphones are placed on this triangle with the earcups represented by Mind’s “jumbled lines” logo. The cardboard backing is a pink-purple gradient with chalk-like arrows surrounding a white circle in the centre, highlighting the badge. Mind’s logo sits in white on the top right of the card.

Yes, of course! Thank you so much again for allowing me the Scorpio bun 🥰

I’d bought the Triple Moon hoodie a while back with the intention of giving it to Scorpio bun when I eventually got ‘em - it suits them well, don’t you think? 😊

(Sorry I took so long to reply; life has been life-ing 😫)
Photograph of Plushie Dreadfuls’ Scorpio plush wearing the Triple Moon hoodie. The bun is a blue-grey with a white scar-like stitch diagonally covering their face. They have bold, red eyes, arched into an angry expression. Their ears are out to their sides so that the inside of them can be seen; they are white with a red heart each on them: the left ear has a full heart while the right ear has a broken heart with three black stitches across the crack. The bun’s hands are red while the soles of their feet are white. The hoodie is black with a lavender Triple Moon symbol in its centre. The bun’s tote bag can be seen lying flat underneath the bun, on the left side.

With only three hours of sleep and a lot of fatigue and stress, I turn to my cards to see if it’s wise to stream today.

The reversed Four of Swords tells me:
“Stop. You must rest - immediately - before you burnout, or worse.”

I will take care of myself today so that the next stream can be better 💙

Happy anniversary @plushiedreadfuls.bsky.social!
Thank you for running a giveaway!

I’ve been working hard on this fanart of some of my favourite dreadfuls - as you might guess, these are all buns I’d be happy to have as friends! 😊

This was delightful art practice 💙

#PlushieDreadfuls #StayDreadful
2D flat-colour artwork of nine Plushie Dreadfuls; they are arranged in a layered pattern of three rows of three. From top-to-bottom and left-to-right: Anxiety Teal; Excema; Ouchie; Gender Dysphoria; Depression V2; Autism Gold; Non-binary; Scorpio; Asthma V2. The rabbits are all facing forward. Their faces are all visible but their bodies are partially hidden depending on where they are in the pattern. Some buns have their chests visible, showing their chest details, others do not. On the right edge of the art, Cheeky’s signature is tucked between the Ouchie and Autism buns. On the right of that is black text oriented sideways, reading “Cheeky8” and “11/07/25”.

I did it y’all, I found the imposter 👀
Screenshot of Bluesky iOS app showing a post from the official Among Us account, and a reply from both Cheeky8 and the former. The conversation reads as follows: Among Us post: “OK I’M BACK FROM VACATION AND READY TO DO TASKS what did i miss”. Cheeky8’s reply: “Most of the crew are dead and you’re the only one who’s been alone this whole time! Explain yourself, or dare I say you’re an imposter!” Among Us reply: “uh oh”. A vertical line is barely visible below the last reply, indicating the conversation continues, but the reply itself is cut off from the screenshot.

Please vote on this uservoice regarding Twitch’s inane new content label that further inspires hate towards anyone who isn’t a white cishet able-bodied billionaire!

Be sure to leave a nice comment for them to see too 🙂
Screenshot of Cheeky8’s comment on the uservoice linked in this post. It reads: My identity is NOT political. Politicised by hate mongers, queerphobes and ableist people, yes, but not inherently political. If being queer is politcal, then being cishet must be too - I guess everyone has to use the label in that case! /sarcasm I am disgusted by Twitch yet not at all surprised, and to drop this in Transgender Awareness Month too? Hell no. I’m not bowing to this hateful form of censorship. They need to rethink this label ASAP.

Quick repost of my latest Twitch story detailing a quick break I need to take 💙
Screenshot of a Twitch story which reads: Taking a break of sorts 💙 I’m going to spend a week or two prioritising rest so you will likely see me cancelling streams or even going into vacation mode. Also note, the forecast shows another heat wave is coming next week which will inhibit my ability to stream altogether. This may mean we won’t have a Litha Tarot Stream, or that it may be very late. Sabbat Streams take a great deal of physical, mental and spiritual energy 💙 We *will* have the 500 Follower Crowd Control Special though! 😉 Thank you always for understanding 💙

Two of the train’s stops will bring you to my streams on Friday 7th and Saturday 15th!

Crucial personal message from me.

(I am safe 💙)
Portrait-oriented screenshot of a text document. It reads: Hey everyone. After great deliberation and a lot of reluctance, I’m taking a break from Twitter. (CW: active suicidal ideation / self-harm) My mental health is possibly at its worst and I’ve been deeply, actively suicidal, engaging in self-harm acts often. With reliable, effective professional help currently out of reach, I’ve been left to my own devices. It took a lot to reach out to friends after almost making an attempt, and honestly that might have saved my life. A close friend has helped me accept that all the good I’m trying to do - educating y’all on Palestine, prompting the world to fight back, sowing the seeds for radical change - is literally killing me. I’m indebted to them more than they know; I doubt I’d have accepted this reality without their help. Text that reads: Despite my self-destruction, I kept pushing for Palestinians. Always convinced I had to: that they can’t stop fighting so I can’t stop either; unwittingly internalising every claim that I’ve no right to take a break; and pushing myself even more when I saw others slowing down. The sad reality is that, if I keep pushing, I’m going to die, and then I won’t be able to fight at all, for anyone. I won’t lie: I still struggle to believe that taking this break is the right thing to do. You may think this a lengthy, detailed message for a break but I need you to understand the direness of my situation. I’ve attempted to convey this to you - to anyone - several times to no avail and that’s one of the (many) reasons I’ve reached this point. To the one who did reach out following my most recent cry for help: thank you. Furthermore, this break hugely impacts my efforts to free Palestine. Sure, I’m just one voice, but one voice can make a powerful impact, so please use yours. Text that reads: My break primarily affects Twitter as that’s doing the most harm, though I’ll take myself away from other apps if necessary. (As far as Palestine goes, I’ll do what I can. There’s a global strike week starting on the 21st so I’ll participate in that, but I need you all to share it yourselves. Seriously: post about Palestine. Seeing too many stay silent is yet another reason why I came so close to taking my life. If you - yes, YOU - have not posted a single thing about the genocide of Palestinians, start posting now.) I’m always on Discord if you’d like to message me but I will be less accessible/active as I make time to heal in whatever way(s) I can. Don’t mistake that for “don’t message”; on the contrary, I need to know people care. Remember I’m on Bluesky (which I have codes for) and Instagram also. I still want to stream if I have the energy; if nothing else, I need a regular stream disrupting my daily schedule to keep me sane and stable. Portrait-oriented screenshot of text that reads: Additionally, if you want to maintain contact with any other system members, you can do so in Cheeky’s Discord or via h* DMs. We have a private Twitter account which you may request the handle for as well. As for how long this break will be? As long as it takes I guess. It’s going to take time getting off of Twitter completely - it’s like an addiction: you can’t strip it all away at once; you have to decrease the amount gradually. Plus, if/when I do stream, I’d like to tweet that I’m going live as I usually do. Will I be able to avoid Twitter entirely for some time? I honestly don’t know. Nonetheless, I must reduce my exposure to Twitter if I ever hope to survive this part of my life. Now: go post like Palestinian lives depend on it, because Palestinian lives do depend on it. And for the love of Chaos, when someone is expressing their despair through social media, don’t ignore it 🤍

Here is a tweet from the system’s shared Twitter account that we wish to post publicly:
Screenshot of a tweet from @Chronos_System. The display name is The Kronos Median System. The tweet reads as follows: We believe in #FreePalestine. All system members are playing their part in the #StrikeForGaza. We will not be happy until we see a permanent ceasefire, immediate aid to all Palestinians, and Israel brought to justice for their unforgivable crimes. We demand a #CeasefireNOW.
