Pixu Ponders: My Favourite Games of the Decade

As the 2010s come to a close, I wanted to take a look back on my gaming experiences of the past ten years. I wish to look back on the games that I believe shaped my teen and young adult years, games that defined this decade for me, and all my treasured memories with them.

As we go into this, please bear in mind that these are my opinions. If you don’t like what you see, cool.

Furthermore, just because of long this darn post is, I’ve had to keep my list pretty short. If there’s a specific game you think I’ve missed, it’s because I had to cut it out.

Among the games cut from the list are: * Portal 2 * Super Mario Odyssey * Undertale * A Hat in Time * Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild * Stardew Valley * Monster Hunter (3U and World) (If you wish for me to write up about these games like the list below, shoot me an ask.)

The Binding of Isaac (2011 and 2014) (Franchise)

To me, the Binding of Isaac is a trend-defining indie game that, along with a couple other entries on this list, I believe contributed to the indie game boom.

The Binding of Isaac, created by Super Meat Boy's Edmund McMillen, depicts a young boy trying to escape his mother (and his inner torment) by delving into his basement and slaying countless monsters with his tears. Amongst many things, The Binding of Isaac stands out due to its simplistic art, unusual fleshy monsters, frequent depictions of... excrement, and a variety of other unsavoury material.

In spite of the crass material and immature nature its contents carry, The Binding of Isaac is a surprisingly deep and heavily replayable game. Many Roguelites that have sprung this decade like to say “No run is the same” but nowhere is this more clear than in the game that kickstarted the modern Roguelite trend. Within the game, Isaac can collect a wide variety of items that can help better slay monsters or navigate the labyrinthine levels of his basement. Isaac can pick up an item that allows him to shoot a large laser of blood, he could obtain a knife to throw at enemies, he can pick up an item that suspends his tears in midair and then release in a volley of bullets Kylo Ren style. When this game says “No run is the same”, it means it.

On Steam, I have over 250 hours on the game’s 2014 remake (Binding of Isaac Rebirth). I have approx. 300 of the 413 achievements the game has to offer. To say that I love and play the heck out of this game is an understatement. And it’s not even my most played game on Steam.

Hollow Knight (2017)

Hollow Knight was a surprise favourite of mine. Being a big fan of metroidvania games, I knew I was going to like this funky little bug game. After all, the game seemed fun and was going to be something of a hybrid between Metroid-style exploration and progression but a Dark Souls health system and storytelling. What’s not to like?

I will be real here, the first two areas of the game weren’t all that amazing. Though there were pleasant sights, neat characters, and simple but kinda fun gameplay, I couldn’t help but feel like wanting... more. Something more captivating. Perhaps something more amazing might await me if I push on through. A hurdle that I needed to overcome. Would it actually happen or will this fun but unimpressive saunter through the world of insects be all there is? And boy were my instincts right.

I will not go into the specifics but the game’s appeal and charm finally clicked for me after a few hours in. It was a combination of taking on two very specific bosses and entering a specific area of the game that instantly made me fall in love. I was enamoured. What had simply been me crossing a game off my bucket list had turned into an adventure I was whole-heartedly engaged in. This game’s adventure was now my own. It was an adventure that I hadn’t been quite as engaged with as... Kingdom Hearts, honestly. And if my posts on here are any indication, that’s quite the feat.

Hollow Knight’s usage of atmosphere, clever writing and worldbuilding, and simple but challenging gameplay are something of a brilliant recipe. I was fascinated by every single snippet of dialogue, smiling as my little insect buddy clashed with perilous foes, wowed by some of the levels, and charmed by every character who I happened to stumble upon.

Though I only played it so recently (Spring 2019 for reference), I can very confidently put it as one of my favourite games of all-time. A list shared by greats such as The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Cave Story, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Terraria (2011)

Ah, Terraria... The “2D Minecraft”, the “Minecraft but not as good”, the “Starbound but not in space”.

Terraria, as you may know, is a 2D action-platformer sandbox. It’s a game that drops you into a large (but not unlimited) world and says “You’re gonna need to gear up, bucko.” So, you tear down some trees and dig up the land a bit in a bid to gather some resources. After all, this is a sandbox! It’s mine, mine~ Mine for the taking~ It’s mine, boys. Mine me that gold! *ahem* Seems I got a little carried away. Anyways...

Within the first few minutes, the sun starts to set on Terraria’s world and you’re being mauled apart by zombies. That is unless you built a house and hunkered down for the night to avoid the ghouls that intend to ruin your night. Seem familiar? Well, it should. And it’s why people drum up the comparisons above, flag it as just another sandbox game, and leave.

This, I believe, is not really a fair look at Terraria. Yes, you mine blocks. Yes, you fight monsters at night to survive. But that’s it. Those are the only substantial comparisons to be made. Terraria, as I described earlier, is an action-platformer. To me, Terraria’s sandbox nature and simplistic Minecraft-esque survival come secondary to what I consider to be the meat of the game. The exploration, the combat system, and the shenanigans.

Within the game are several set pieces to explore and countless bosses to fight. Players are expected to plunge headfirst into the rotting landscape of the Corruption (or the more eldritch and bloodied Crimson), delve into the skeleton-filled Dungeon, brave the perilous Jungle, and even venture into Hell itself. In exploring and slaying the many powerful foes that await the player, one can go beyond just “I swing my Iron Sword at a Zombie. Yaaaaaay... =_=“ and into extreme levels of zaniness. Wanna beat up Martians with a lightsaber? I don’t recommend it but you can. Wanna kill a giant robot worm of doom with a minigun? You bet your butt you can.

Minecraft (2009, 1.0 release in 2011)

To say Minecraft didn’t define the 2010s would be a blatant lie. As the #1 best-selling game, a spot hotly contested with Tetris, it’s hard to deny the influence and critical success of this simple voxel-based sandbox game.

What is it that makes Minecraft such a perfect and fantastic game? To me, it’s all in the simplicity of it all. The lack of goal, the blank slate of a world you’re given, and the openness and accessibility of the game. Minecraft expects you to take whatever inspiration and ideas you may have and construct them in this blocky world.

Wanna build a plane? Wanna build a sweet mansion? A bit too normal for you? How about a working computer? What about recreating settings from your favourite games? In Minecraft, you can do just that. And let’s not even forget about the enormous modding community this game has. Automation, adventure, aesthetic, graphical enhancements, quality of life. Mods have everything and more!

Above all else, Minecraft helps to connect. With its huge player base and countless public servers, you’re bound to find a community that will welcome you and treat you right. Minecraft is best played in multiplayer, in my honest opinion. Explore caves with friends, collaborating on build projects, or just plain old chatting and hanging with folks.

For me personally, Minecraft is an invaluable game. Through it, I met countless people, made many friends (several of which I consider my best friends), I even found love through it. Minecraft came to me at a time I needed it most. As a late teen, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. The game allowed me to express myself and work past what issues I had developed over the years. In finding friends and a way to express, Minecraft helped shape me into a much better person. Were it not for this game and the folks I met through it, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

Btw I wanna like

Splurge on my plans for the modded survival area I’ve been playing in. I’m playing on a server with a bunch of friends I’ve made through MC and it’s a lot more fun for me to play multiplayer than singleplayer. Sucks cuz I can’t choose the mods I want but it’s also cool bc it means I try out mods they decided on!

Anyways I settled my butt down near the admin area(where all of the admins settled), mostly because they’re my friends and I wanted to be close without being up in their face, and also bc I had no idea what plans they had with spawn. Spawn looks amazing rn on the server and my idea would not have meshed well with the vibe spawn has(I’ve heard it’s greek themed?? it’s so beautiful I love visiting every so often to see the progress).

So yeah I settled in an extreme hills biome near their magical forest biome(I kinda wanted to be in that biome because of the beautiful colors but I had No Ideas for what I’d do there). So I found this huge ass mountain and my original idea is “cottage but inside the mountain and sticking out” so I kinda started doing that and then I was like “eh” and my entire idea swapped to “castle ruins that have been taken over by a dragon” and then as I expanded and needed more space I added in “the dragon is benevolent and lets people(villagers) live around as long as they don’t touch her castle”.

So now it’s like

medieval and magicky and actually really pretty looking, I gotta work on making the castle ruins less gray because it’s all just, meshing together in a bad way. But I added in hot air balloons for my solar/lunar panels to power my angel ring, and I have a tinker smeltery built under one of the crumbled platforms of the castle, and a little market area for villagers that I figured would be nice to have. And now I’m changing all of the grass that I changed from stone to now be glowing mycelium(from quark) bc it’s just?? such a gorgeous block, and it glows, and mobs can’t spawn on it, and I can place mushrooms on it all willy nilly so it’s a plus on all ends!!!

Every so often I check the admin junction area and see how things are over there and they’re still kinda magicky looking so I think we like kind of match without intending it fgkjn

9/3/22

Journal time. At 6 A.M., before going to sleep. Totally normal stuff over here, folks! Totally nothing going wrong in my life if I'm going to bed at 6 A.M. regularly. No need to ask, people who are aware of it, totally doing fine! Don't anyone pull a muscle running to offer me a hand, now!

Meh, I don't know. People don't really understand what they haven't experienced. The stillness of isolation, the amount of energy that goes into distractions when you live alone, and your cat sleeps all day so there's nothing actually moving in your entire sensory perimeter.

My stomach is hurting right now, the discomfort has sorta revved my ADD brain super fast tonight so my flow of thought is kinda jumping all over the place. I wanted to talk about the good side of isolation, the insights you get about your self and the human condition at 6 A.M. with nothing moving but a spinning box fan and some animated gif on the right side of the screen. But I had an intrusive realization that I'm narrating now, that I am kinda... not even consciously, I would wager... being punished for bonding. It was like a lightning bolt insight, I love and hate when those happen, they are so sudden. It's the same thing as inspiration, so it's really good and cool to see it still works. But this... sudden intrusive realizing... it can fuck you up when you see... realize... things that you aren't really emotionally ready to process yet. The suddenness can be jarring. At least for me, I am exceptionally emotionally sensitive. And physically sensitive too. And aurally, I guess, I have very strong connections between emotions and physical sensations, I think that might be why music resonates so much with me. But yeah, the realization based on today's fun little cup of tea with my Mom just taught me some heavy shit.

When I bond with my Mom, it very rarely ends positively, at least in the end... I don't know, I'm second guessing myself. I don't need to make sweeping generalizations to make my point, I'm kinda getting at today so maybe I'll keep to talking about that. I showed her the projects I have been working on. I showed her the walking staff I have been carving improvised engravings into. I showed her the stones I have been hand-polishing for jewelry. I showed her the two jewelry pieces I have made already.

We talked about Twitch and YouTube. I mentioned I feel absolutely lazy and lame as fuck for just sitting around playing Minecraft by myself... NOT streaming it. Not playing with my friends. On a multiplayer Minecraft server. That I'm paying to host. Like... fuck, dude. Dead honest, wouldn't you feel lame?

I keep trying to get her to even understand what Twitch is, why people even go there. I haven't even started with Discord. It's crazy, it's like trying to get an Amish person to use a fucking telephone with half my friends, I just don't fucking get it. You're not in your 90's Jebediah, it's a place to fucking hang out with your friends and laugh. Like a bar or something. So if you don't wanna hang out, then just be honest.

Ultimately, tea went well. Then, as she was packing up to head out and pick up dinner for my dad and her, I mention that I am really scared about moving, and that it's a BIG stressor. And that I need to talk about it soon. Like one of the biggest stressors life has to offer. It's like... getting in a relationship, leaving a relationship, moving and death. Those are like the big ones. Short of trauma, of course, but that fucker's got his own damn category. So... yeah, forgive me if I'm super scared to move to a completely new area after living here for over 1/3 of my life, especially since I'm moving by myself to an area where I know no one. I'm terrified. I'm just standing on the edge of the next life and I'm gonna fuckin jump, I have to jump, there's a forest fire behind me. I'm going to do it. It's 400 feet down and there's only like a 50% chance it's gonna go wrong and I get hurt, but like... that fire is closing in pretty damn fast now... And I can't stay here forever... I really was praying I could get someone to just hold my hand and go with me. Or to set up a net at the bottom. Or at least fuckin watch. But I guess that's too much to expect...

My Mom offered to pay for movers. Don't worry about it, you don't need friends to help you move. I'll pay to make this go away. Do you feel supported now? ... No. I feel bribed. To make my feelings go away. Because they are unpleasant to be around. Because me being traumatically scared, in order to empathize with me there... oh shit, realization time... in order to empathize with me having like a PTSD moment or being deathly scared or something, they would have to imagine what it's like to feel that. Fuuuuuuck. And most of these people, they are masters of denial. Denying their own feelings. Of course they're going to deny the empathetic feelings of others. Goddamn. You know, I wasn't going to engage with that too deep there but that helps me understand people so much better. I hope I can hold on to that, big insights can be fleeting, it's pretty easy to sink back into old habits of how we pretend life is.

So, she pushes back. Thinks I'm ungrateful, unappreciative of her generosity. I try to explain that I am appreciative, though I do admit it's hardly my first priority to convey that. I usually open by expressing clearly how I am feeling, as much as I can through fear. I'm scared, I'm hurt, I'm nervous. Then I express examples of other similar situations, what else is going on, to give context. I expressed how I was frustrated I didn't have friends to help me move, how it can make a major life stressor, a very impactful event, into a great bonding opportunity. That way I'm not dreading it. I'd actually be looking forward to it.

I get kinda bopped on the nose for even asking for things like this. For someone to get like... actually involved in my life. Like to just say a nice thing to a friend about my 5 different businesses that I have been running forever. Sit down and look through apartment listings with me. Ask me about my fucking day. But yeah, you know what... let's hire someone to do that. Let's get another therapist in here to pretend to be my friend for money, then say he can' t be there when I need a friend because he's "off the clock". That's a healthy thing to get used to. Weird shit we, who have actually done it, just kinda look past, right?

It's not a fuckin luxury to have strangers help you at important times in your life. It's a penalty. It's a poor substitute, er... rich substitute? hehehe. Sorry. Been watching a Twitch streamer all night, that sense of humor just sticks with me. But people think it is a luxury - to have someone raise your kids for you, to have someone drive you around, to have someone cook for you. It's no substitute for sharing those moments with loved ones. Sharing your life with your loved ones. Instead, you share it with strangers. That shit can fuck with your head, but worse, that shit can fuck with your heart.

So I bonded, had a good day, then expressed weakness and vulnerability. My biggest fear right now and how I need support in that. And I was punished for doing so, because I didn't see hiring a mover as addressing the problem I presented. And did not express gratitude for that offer. Problems like this fight are the most common fight I have. It's fucking with my head very badly.

I continually open up to the people in my support network and tell them the deepest pains I'm experiencing and exactly how I need help, and they offer things that are like... the least you can offer? At least on the low end. Like I literally was grieving a breakup and two friends (one from middle school, one from college) who were murdered, and my friend tried to schedule me in for a phone call next month. Oh, here's the kicker! She's a psychology professor! I am not even fucking making this shit up, hand to whatever god will have me. "I'm a bit busy but I think I can squeeze in an hour or so sometime next month." I couldn't make this shit up, hell, I'd be ashamed to make this shit up because I'd 100% be accused of being cliché or just lazy writing! The things I've had people say to me, it just blows my mind.

Yet I keep leaping. I keep opening up to them and giving them thousands of chances. Because I simply do not have anyone else present in my life and I don't want to be completely alone. Because I'm scared to meet new people. Because I'm scared of people. I know what they do to each other. And I know it's most of them. And I have no one to consult with for guidance. And no one to practice socializing with. So I feel like I have no choice. I have to forgive. I have to endure it. I have no choice right now. It's that or spend time with the cat. Because me showing up alone to a skatepark after not seeing a human face for 2 weeks is... well... probably not a normal interaction. Maybe it is for them, I'm just another person at the skatepark, but for me.... for me... This is a sentient organism that understands complex syllabic language. They speak in allegories, metaphor, slang, and most importantly, subtext. I speak in intonation, body language, honesty and patting on the head. Because 100% off my real-time interactions are with a cat. It was shared with a dog before, but now it's 100% cat. So... human interactions can take a bit of adjusting to. It's a bit intimidating. It's only the hardest and most complex fucking form of communication ever devised, so like... forgive me for being out of practice!

So I've broken the addiction of hiding my feelings and problems out of shame. That was huge. My way of doing it was remembering how to say fuck it and commit to the kickflip. And apply that moment of willpower to asking for help, or talking about my trauma, to opening up and making myself vulnerable to people. Leaps of faith. Like typing your honest thoughts into a journal and posting it online. Right? It helped me find myself, who I really am and how I really feel. But man, it just gets me in a world of shit lately. And so many people are trying to get me to stop and go back to the old me. The old way of just bowing my head, nodding and saying, "yes, please, thank you, you look lovely" no matter what I receive. Otherwise...

I'm fuckin all over the place tonight, but this is what I love about journaling. It's therapy. As long as it's honest. These insights, perspectives I might not have uncovered if I didn't take the time to do this, those can make a huge difference in how you approach future situations. If you can remember stuff like this, which it can be hard to sometimes, for some reason. People are weird like that, creatures of habit, I'm like 100% sure I already wrote something like this earlier in this post. XD Guess it's important! So I really do think it's important for people to do something like this, especially if they don't have someone to do this with interactively. Even if it's a written journal or a note on your phone or something. It's weird at first, but if you really commit to not crossing anything out or deleting stuff (I have been editing a bit lately, and I'm really committing myself to stopping now) you can learn some very helpful things about yourself.

Honesty is incredibly powerful, maybe that's why so many people fear it.

I'm gonna wrap this up because I've been going for a good hour now. I have a weird conversation to have tomorrow, assuming it happens tomorrow. I hope she can understand where I'm coming from, I know she means well. Meanwhile, I think the best thing for me right now is maybe to try to meet people online somewhere? I say, typing this. Well, hi, people. If you feel like sticking around and keeping me company through this move, I'd love the support in a difficult time. Even if it's just reading and tacitly wishing good fortune, every thought is appreciated.

Shit's gonna get weird once I move. Maybe I should like... blog it, or something? Maybe...

Yooran AU/scenario where yoosung has a popular gaming channel & streams his gameplay 

(under the read more)

yoosung is #2 in his server soooo... he’s probably well-known among other players?? 

(fuck idk how league of legends and world of warcraft work because ive never played either but. anyways.)

i dunno if its common for people with a really high ranking to be like mini-celebrities in the community but.. for the purposes of this whole shebang, yoosung is really well known 

and very popular especially because he goes out of his way to help out less experienced players even though he’s one of the big guys at the top, you know? very humble and very kind which only makes him stand out more

eventually people suggest that he try streaming on twitch (or “afreeca” which a lot of south korean gamers use i think?) and make a gaming channel. and he’s all for it!!!! 

yoosung’s channel gets popular pretty quickly?? he starts out at a solid point because his LOLOL buddies that he usually plays with and his guild members support his channel/streams a lot and spread the word (when they’re not playing w/ him while he streams ofc)... it doesn’t take long at all for it to rlly take off, and he gains a decently big following!!

he’s already been dating saeran for quite a while when he starts his channel but saeran is very shy so yoosung is careful to respect saeran’s privacy. when saeran is over while yoosung is streaming, he stays out of sight of the facecam and keeps quiet

yoosung’s LOLOL friends know him though bc he talks about his boyfriend every now and then in voice chat w/ them,  but also bc saeran is at his place a lot and they hear him in the background, or hear yoosung talking to him occasionally.

i guess at some point during one of his streams, his buddies casually ask where saeran is and they ask how he’s doing and all that... because he’s never in the streams at all and they haven’t heard from him in a while. 

yoosung’s like  “yeah he’s here! he’s doing alright! just hanging out watching tv.” 

and his fans who don’t know abt saeran are just like. “?????? who is saeran” yoosuung tells them that he’s a friend that hangs out his place a lot and that he’s just sort of shy (2 respect saeran’s privacy and also bc they haven’t decided if they wanna be so publicly out yet??)

and naturally, his viewers are kinda curious and it makes them more curious when yoosung and his friends bring him up briefly but saeran is Never seen or heard in any streams or videos. the boy is a goddamn Mystery to yoosung’s viewers.

tbh saeran probably like.. watches the streams a lot when he’s not at his boyfriend’s house but he uses some random fake name or some shit so no one in the chat can tell he’s there.

eventually like. he gets less shy, more comfortable and he can be heard in the background making a noise or smth. asking yoosung a question. that kind of thing.

the first time it’s an accident and everyone is like “!??! who is that???” and yoosung tells them and they get So Excited and respond with “!!! THERE HE IS!!!! the elusive saeran!!” yoosung and his friends just laugh bc its funny n cute?

but ye he steadily makes more casual background appearances and it pretty much becomes one big meme with yoosung’s friends and viewers. they say stuff like 

“new cryptid discovered”

and “he’s a legend.... a myth... no one has ever seen his face”  

(shitty harry potter quote) “it’s like trying to catch smoke... like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.”

“some say he can wipe your memories so you forget that you ever met him”

its. so good... Every Time they hear the fridge closing or a voice in the background or they catch a lil flash of red hair behind yoosung on the face cam, the chat Explodes like “THERE HE IS!!! there he is! he really does exist!!”

they both find it rlly hilarious omg. saeran says it’s stupid and dumb at first but he obviously loves it... he laughs out loud a few times watching what people are saying abt him while he’s at yoosung’s and ppl hear it and are like “!!!! what is he laughing at??” 

yoosung: “ oh haha he’s lookin at the chat right now”

the chat: “omg he sees us!!!!” 

“saeran! reply if you’re real! we need proof!!!”

“there he is. the absolute madman”

“hi, saeran!” 

“you should sit by yoosung so we can see you!!” 

“saeran!! hello!! have you eaten?”

its so sweET and cute!! and i feel like maybe around this time as stuff like this continues happening.. a lot of viewers kinda assume or are starting to suspect that they’re dating? idk. 

maybe yoosung doesn’t outright say anything or confirm their relationship but there are a lot of clear signs like...yoosung moves away from his mic t talk to saeran more often (stuff like asking him what he wants for dinner, laughing abt some offhand comment he made)... the fact that saeran is at yoosung’s so often, too. it’s obvious that they’re very comfortable with each other and they seem close

and a biggest indicator is probably the way yoosung talks abt saeran when the chat notices he’s there in the bg? like:

“Aw, you guys, you’re making him embarrassed.”  or  “...Huh? Oh, don’t worry! He’s not replying because he’s really shy.”  or   “Haha, I think I can see him blushing!” 

this probably goes on for a pretty long time? a few months. gradually saeran appears more, comes over to comment on the game or how yoosung is playing, maybe cheer him on a little? while mostly staying out of sight... tho sometimes when he feels less anxious he’ll be directly behind or beside yoosung in the facecam feed. 

his viewers think he’s super cute when they see his face for the first time, and they say so in the chat. yoosung agrees w them like 

“Yeah. He really is, isn’t he?” 

and the chat Explodes again bc

that’s probably the first official confirmation in a stream that they’re in a relationship. saeran is embarrassed and flustered and annoyed but also kind of happy and he says “Shut the fuck up.” and covers his face w his hands and he’s Bright red but also smiling just a teeeny tiny bit behind his hands.

yoosung’s LOLOL friends are so relieved that they don’t have to keep it a secret anymore and they start teasing yoosung in streams almost as much they do when they’re just playin together casually

after that, ppl start suggesting/requesting that saeran and yoosung play games together on the stream!!!

 and at first theyre a lil hesitant for a few reasons? like, saeran still has a lot of issues and gets vvvvvery Anxious so it might be a bit stressful for him. and also that content would be so different than yoosung’s usual stuff.  

(also even tho they’re never that affectionate in streams bc saeran is iffy about pda, theyyyy... still worry a little about people bein’ dickbags bc its a mlm relationship and the internet can be a mean place... idk i also dont know how widely accepted same-gender couples are in south korea?? but ye) 

BUT a lot of ppl seem to want it!! 

so when saeran gains enough confidence, they do it!! they maybe make a separate channel for streaming that stuff. they just post recorded videos on his regular channel tho under a specific title and it’s its own little series.

and it turns out it’s almost as popular as his other content and does rlly well! 

occasionally they play LOLOL casually together but saeran isn’t rlly into it as much as yoosung is so mostly they play a bunch of different multiplayer games. they also play a lot single-player ones that are very story-driven or just. interesting in general.

a couple times they play horror games and those ones are really popular bc yoosung gets So Scared. he Hates horror games he’s so jumpy at everything and screams so loud. 

meanwhile saeran barely reacts. he might occasionally get surprised by a jump scare on his more anxious days but most of the time he’s like....... so.. calm. so unfazed by everything that viewers are like “what the fuck dude” “how is he so chill right now”

however... even tho the horror game streams/videos are rlly popular, they don’t do them that often bc yoosung gets legitimately scared often to a point where he doesn’t enjoy them lol ... its ok tho bc saeran snuggles him afterwords but. YyYYyeeah. yeah.

saeran and yoosung have a lot of fun and their viewers love them and it’s a very good fun pure thing n everyone is happy. 

the end

( really Unlikely but cute bonus for a few years later:  yoosung fucks up on the stream talkin w his buddies and accidentally mentions smth abt proposing to saeran before he actually does it and bc he’s streaming to a fuckton of ppl, it gets around so fast and saeran finds out right away. yoosung is so embarrassed and frustrated that he ruined the surprise )

.

god pleas e... talk to me about yooran. i need people to talk to about this ship so i can stop posting long things like this like a loser lol
