Papa Verstappen, Master of Pit Stops

Max Verstappen

The house was blanketed in silence, the kind of quiet that only came after a long, exhausting day. You had finally managed to crawl into bed, your limbs heavy with fatigue. The winter break had been anything but restful, with a three-month-old baby girl demanding every ounce of your energy. But now, for the first time that day, you’d stolen a few precious minutes of sleep, cocooned in the warmth of your duvet, with dreams tugging at the edges of your consciousness.

In the corner of the house, Max sat at his sim-racing setup, his brow furrowed in concentration as he maneuvered his virtual car around the track. The hum of the simulator and the occasional clack of buttons punctuated the stillness. He had spent the evening taking over as much as he could—soothing the baby, feeding her a bottle, and giving you a break—but even Max Verstappen needed a little time to unwind.

That peace shattered when a wail pierced through the house. The baby was awake, her cries echoing down the hallway and slicing through the stillness. Max froze for a moment, his hands pausing mid-turn on the wheel. He glanced at the baby monitor beside him, where the tiny figure of his daughter was flailing in her crib.

Max didn’t wait for you to get up. “I’ve got it,” he called out, already slipping off his headphones.

You mumbled something in response, too exhausted to argue, and sank back into the bed. Max hurried down the hallway, his sock-clad feet silent on the wooden floor, and entered the nursery. His daughter’s cries grew louder as he approached, her tiny fists clenched and her face scrunched up in frustration.

“Hey, kleine meisje,” Max said softly, his voice warm and affectionate despite the chaos. He bent over the crib, gently scooping her up into his arms. “What’s wrong, hmm? You didn’t like that Daddy was racing? You wanted some attention?”

He swayed on his feet, cradling her close as he tried to soothe her. The cries subsided into hiccupy sobs, her big blue eyes—so much like his own—blinking up at him. He pressed a kiss to her forehead, his heart melting at how tiny and fragile she felt in his arms.

But then the crying started up again, loud and insistent, and Max frowned. “Okay, okay. I hear you. Let’s figure this out.” He carried her over to the changing table, his movements careful as he laid her down. “Is it your tummy? No, you just ate. Hmm… Or maybe you’re too warm?”

He checked her swaddle, loosening it slightly. That didn’t help. He picked her up again, bouncing her gently as he tried to think. “I’m not great at this detective stuff, you know,” he said, his voice light and teasing despite his growing concern. “Mama’s the expert. I’m just the backup crew.”

The baby didn’t seem impressed with his self-deprecating humor, her cries persisting at full volume. Max frowned, running a hand through his messy hair. Then, like a lightbulb switching on, he remembered something you had said earlier in the day about diaper changes. He glanced at her tiny bottom, noticing the telltale bulk of a full diaper.

“Is that it?” he asked, his voice rising in playful excitement. “Do you need a pit stop? Papa’s got you, don’t worry.”

But as he set her back down on the changing table and reached for the diaper bag, a new wave of uncertainty hit him. He stared at the tabs and folds of the diaper, his confidence faltering. “Okay, this looks… complicated,” he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. His daughter let out another wail, as if to say, Hurry up!

Max grabbed his phone and quickly searched, “How to change a diaper.” He clicked on the first YouTube video he found, balancing the phone on the edge of the changing table. The cheerful voice of a parenting vlogger filled the room, explaining the process step by step.

“See?” Max said, glancing at his daughter as he unfastened the old diaper. “We’re learning together. You’ll thank me for this someday when you’re not sitting in a wet diaper anymore.” His tone was playful, and he leaned down to nuzzle her cheek for good measure. “You’re lucky you’re cute, you know that?”

The baby quieted a little at his soft voice, watching him with wide, curious eyes. Max followed the instructions meticulously, wiping her clean and slipping a fresh diaper under her. He fumbled with the adhesive tabs for a moment, muttering under his breath, “How do they make these look so easy in the video?”

Finally, he fastened the diaper snugly and lifted her into his arms with a triumphant grin. “Done! Papa Verstappen, master of pit stops!” He kissed her on the forehead again, rocking her gently. “You can stop crying now, okay? That was a world-champion-level diaper change.”

As if on cue, the baby’s cries softened into tiny hiccups, her eyes drooping as she relaxed against him. Max chuckled softly, a wave of relief washing over him. He walked her around the nursery, humming a lullaby he vaguely remembered from his own childhood.

When she finally drifted off to sleep, Max stood there for a moment, marveling at the tiny bundle in his arms. The late-night exhaustion, the interrupted sim race, the frantic diaper change—it was all worth it for this. He laid her back down in the crib, tucking her in carefully before tiptoeing out of the room.

Back in the bedroom, he found you half-awake, propped up on one elbow and blinking groggily. “Everything okay?” you asked, your voice thick with sleep.

“Perfect,” Max said, climbing into bed beside you and pulling the blanket over both of you. “Our little girl just needed a fresh diaper. We worked it out.”

You smiled, resting your head against his shoulder. “Thank you,” you murmured, already drifting back to sleep.

Max pressed a kiss to your hair, his heart full. “Anything for my girls,” he whispered, holding you close as the house finally settled into peace once more.

Etoiles just announced that will be doing a virtual tour of the Louvre LIVE with famous vlogger and YouTuber Léna Situation this Saturday on January 13!

Not only are Etoiles' virtual museum tours always very educational and interesting, but he also says it's been his dream to visit the Louvre for a long time. He's very excited to explore it with chat, and he says he hopes that international viewers will also be able to watch and enjoy the stream with the help of subtitles, since he knows not everyone has the opportunity to see the Louvre and it's a once in a lifetime experience.

Be sure to watch the tour live this Saturday, January 13 at 8:30pm (~11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST).

Translation (courtesy of @EtoilesUpdate):

YES YES YES, We’re there SATURDAY, one of my life’s dreams since SO LONG, THE LOUVRE ! I’m putting together an exceptional visit of @.MuseeLouvre with this MYTHICAL establishment just for us with Phillipe our always incredible speaker !! @.lenasituations will also be there and is SO excited to come, I think that she’ll be an exceptional guest who’ll know to ask the right questions! It’s this Saturday at 20h30, it’ll be a big week on my channel, I’m expecting you guys motivated 🥰

[aizenat]

I was watching this woman who does child free content on yt, and she was showing clips of a woman on tik tok who was complaining about some family vlogger influencers (because that’s somehow still a thing in 2024 apparently) on ig who went on a cruise and apparently went to have dinner after the kids went to sleep so they could have a romantic night alone. They had baby monitors and nothing actually happened, but the internet does what it always does and this girl is just moralizing about all the could be dangers that COULD have happened in a worst case scenario because god forbid people don’t live their lives with crippling anxiety constantly planning and expecting the worst thing to happen at all times (not defending the couple but girl nothing happened just shut the fuck up).

And I had this thought I’ve been having a lot where I’m thinking this woman who I’m watching react to this girl’s tik tok (a supposed journalist lol) is wasting her time watching a girl waste her time making tik tok after tik tok moralizing about a couple she doesn’t know doing something that wasn’t the smartest but led to no issues, bitching about this couple sharing their stupid lives online.

And like I just thought to myself “why does this girl on tik tok care so much about this couple to make all these videos faking concern about these kids that are fine? Why is this YouTuber wasting her time reacting to this girl making tik toks about a family neither of them know and how they raise their kids? Why is this couple able to get enough people watching them vlog their lives that they can afford a nice cruise (and apparently make enough to afford a hypothetical nanny for the kids so they wouldn’t have to leave them alone sleeping in the rooms just for a date night, according to critics), and enough attention to get major backlash for doing something I’m sure most of our own parents did at least once or twice.”

Like truly, what does ANY of this matter? I don’t know ANY of these ppl I’m engaging with. I don’t care about family vloggers: I find them all reprehensible. I don’t care about some random white woman’s moralizing on another couple not being perfect parents like she thinks all parents should be. I don’t even understand why the child free content creator was even commenting on the drama. Like what was the point? Don’t have children so you can have date nights without worrying about kids?

Like who cares? Why are we all so obsessed with other people’s lives? People we don’t know, will never know, who will get canceled in a few years for something (if they’re lucky enough to last that long) just to do it all over again with a new influencer. That south Asian ray guy was the most popular YouTuber and and then it was pewdiepie then one of the Paul brothers then dream then Mr beast and he’s getting canceled now so it’ll be someone new this time next year.

Again and again the cycle goes and what do any of us get out of it? Are we better people for it? Are we even entertained? Why does ANY of this shit matter? Truly?

Idk how corny or eye roll inducing it is to say this but the entire internet, and most of modern media, has become a literal virtual reality matrix that we’re all acting like we have to participate in. You don’t go online, you miss all the news. Everyone from boomers to gen x to millennials to gen z to gen alpha don’t know how to connect to people without it. At my last job, my coworkers would bond over memes they’d share on fb or send each other snapchats or tik toks and constantly reference them. And because I’m not on the sites, I was literally missing out. And when I’d ask them to send things to our group chat so I could enjoy the fun, they just ignored me.

In today’s world, if you’re not plugged into the matrix, you pretty much don’t exist. It’s a red flag if ppl can’t find social media on you. YouTube commentary videos don’t even introduce players in drama because they assume you already know who they’re talking about for some reason. I’m expected to know all the latest tik tok influencers and streamers and podcasters and all the other mundane morons taking up space online. Why? Why do I need to know any of them just to keep up? Truly? Why?

Meanwhile, no one knows how our government work to organize effectively (looking at the faux “pro Palestine” ppl protesting the dnc without any fucking real plan all while ignoring that three of the most progressive and pro Palestinian representatives were up for reelection and let two of them LOSE their reelection bid, pulling more pro Palestinian voices away from congress; as well as ANYONE telling people to not vote or vote third party in November), no one seems to care that we’re living through a major environmental catastrophe, NO ONE READS, art is literally dying thanks to corporate greed, men are gearing up for a major anti feminist backlash that I’m afraid no woman under 30 is quite prepared to fight against, and no one can afford to live a happy and comfortable life.

But I have to care about stupid influencers being stupid online for stupid amounts of money because everyone is chasing a bag instead of working to make the world a better place.

I’m genuinely hitting a limit. Not in the manosphere way, but I’m seriously taking the red pill and getting the fuck out. This online world is just so bleak and miserable. I can’t deal with this shit anymore. It’s burning me out and I’m exhausted by it all. I genuinely just need out. Completely and fully. I’m so completely done.

My Gacha OCs so far (part 1)

This post is incomplete.

I'll begin with some of the characters I made. I'll introduce myself at the end of the post.

My characters in Gacha Club as of now:

Isabel

First appearance: No. She does not have a character made in any Gacha game.

Character gender: Female

Character element: Water

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆

Age: 13

Location in the real world: London, England

Favourite food/drink: Vanilla soft serve

Occupation: Student

She is a fairy magician, with long black hair in two low twintails tied with pink ribbon, and a pink hairclip bonds the side of her fringe. Her eyes are light blue. She wears a deep blue top hat with a pink stripe and a white lily flower, a sparkly light blue dress with white stars around, short puffy white sleeves from the dress, a deep blue vest over the dress, pink bow-tie, a pair of white gloves, white full-length stockings and a pair of shiny black mary-janes. Her fairy wings are pink and blue with a little yellow. She also holds a simple black magic wand with white ends.

- An alternative outfit with a blazer instead of a vest can be obtained from the costume gacha.

Isabel is a charming, lively girl who can help people with her magic, but they don't always work.

Despite living in London, she does not have a Cockney accent, but Somerset instead. She would sound something like Penny from Open Source Objects.

Honaka

First appearance: Gacha Life

Character gender: Female

Character element: Fire

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆

Age: 9

Location in the real world: Tokyo, Japan

Favourite food/drink: Rice Cake

Her hair is styled into a long ponytail. Her eyes are crimson. She wears a large pink bow over her ponytail, white long-sleeved shirt with a white collar pink ribbon tied in front of the collar, blue skirted overalls, long white socks cut to half her thigh, and deep blue shoes.

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆

Age: 14 (15 in the real world)

Location in the real world: Minneapolis, Minnesota

Favourite food/drink: Spaghetti Pomodoro

Occupation: Student

In both her real self and virtual avatar, she has blonde hair in two low, short twintails, tied with a black bow on each one. Her eyes are sky blue. In the virutal world, she wears a dark green beret, a light green button-up top with a darker green collar, red neckerchief, and a dark green sash with badges pinned on it, a dark green skirt, white socks with a ring of black around them, and protective brown shoes. This is the same outfit Mabel wears in the real world when she's out to the camp. When she's at her bedroom in her real home she would wear wear any minimalist outfit such as a T-shirt or singlet and shorts, along with a pair of round glasses.

- Her old Gacha Life outfit back in 2018 was a yellow short-sleeved top, green sash over her shoulders, beige skirt, and a yellow and green cap on her head.

Mabel is an American girl scout. She could be clumsy helping and mess things up, but she's trying her very best. She's the oldest in the Dokitown Daycare (she's the only 14-year-old), and one of many human people without any inhuman appendages.

She has a regular American accent in Gachaverse, but her real self keeps the Upper Midwest accent.

Camilla / Miss Lady Luck Camilla

I made this character first in: Gacha Studio

Character gender: Female

Character element: Fire

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆

Age: 19

Location in the real world: Atlanta, Georgia

Favourite food/drink: Parfait

Occupation: Vlogger

Camilla is a very lucky girl who can win a lottery or get the best in gachas. She has long brown hair with short sidelocks, striking emerald-green eyes, eyeshadow, and nails polished pink. Her default outfit has a pink hairband with a large bow on it, heart-shaped sunglasses worn over her head, a fuchsia patterned dress, a dark coloured belt and tall boots.

She has a soothing Southern accent.

Jodie

I made this character first in: Gacha Life

Character gender: Female

Character element: Water

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆

Age: 10

Location in the real world: Stuttgart, Germany

Favourite food/drink: Cheesecake

Occupation: Student (real world), Artist (GV)

Jodie is a little girl who takes up upright painting on a canvas sitting perfectly on an steady easel. Her father (who does not have a Gachaverse character) is a mural artist who makes magnificent murals on walls with spray paint. She has blonde hair in two drill pigtails, blue eyes, wears a white beret with a small bow, a blue dress with long sleeves, long white socks and blue wellies. A new default outfit for Gacha Club was given to her in the middle of 2020 that changes to a white blouse with a collar and long sleeves, a deep blue knee-length skirt, long white socks and polished black shoes with a single buckle each.

Diagnosed with autism, Jodie was given a different mindset. One that makes her not very hardworking and would tend to lose focus. But that wouldn't stop her from being looked down upon by others. She usually acts normal and speaks smoothly. In the virtual world, she is one of some homeless children that stays in the Dokitown Daycare. There in her room, is where she keeps her paintings, and her canvas when she wants to paint something again. She looks around town for anything she would like to paint a picture of.

Her voice is a childish voice in a light German accent instead of a strong one.

Sara

First appearance: Gacha Club

Character gender: Female

Character element: Dark

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆

Age: 24

Location in the real world: Nashville, Tennessee

Favourite food/drink: Soup & Salad

Occupation: Owner of So-Cheap Sara's

Sara was the first new character I've made when I began Gacha Club. Sara owns a diner called So-Cheap Sara's in Gachaverse, where a mean can get under 10 gachabucks. She has long brown hair with short sidelocks in front of her ears. Her eyes are violet with doll lashes. Her outfit is a 50s waitress uniform made up of a white headpiece, purple button-up dress, short puffy sleeves, small white gloves, white apron, short white socks and roller skates.

Sara likes to sing along to classic 50s tunes. She goes around her diner giving out milkshakes, iced tea, lemonade, sliders, waffle fries, hot soup, toasty sandwiches, and fresh crunchy salad, to her mellow customers every luncthime. The creator (me) would usually go there if he's looking to get a milkshake.

She has a light Southern accent.

Ben

Character gender: Male

Character element: Wind

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆

Age: 12

Location in the real world: London, England

Favourite food/drink: Pancakes

Occupation: Student

Ben is a small boy with big ambition. In real life, he has neat brown hair a black sweater, long blue pants and platform shoes. He in Gacha Club however looks different. His brown hair isn't as neat, and his eyes are blue. He has a leather flight cap with avaiator's goggles, a beige scarf, a black jacket with long sleeves over a loose white t-shirt, a belt with a buckle, blue jeans, leather kneepads and leather boots.

Ben keeps his calm, even in the toughest of situations. He likes steam locomotives, steam tugboats and old airplanes. In the virtual world, he is one of some homeless children that stays in the Dokitown Daycare. In his room, his table is occupied with a fully-detailed model railway set, his shelves full of trains and boats, and a collection of classic biplanes. The shelf also keeps a remote-controlled seaplane which he takes it to the beach.

He has a Cockney accent, that similar to Ten Cents from Tugs.

Minazuki

First appearance: Gacha Club

Character gender: Female

Character element: Water

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆☆

Location in the real world: Osaka, Japan

Favourite food/drink: Shortcake

Occupation: Student

Her eyes are light blue with shy-looking eyelashes. Her default outfit is a white lotus flower on her head, a necklace with a blue gemstone, a white off-shoulder toe-length dress with short sleeves, yellow wellies, and usually carries a polka-dotted umbrella. Alternatively, she might wear a yellow raincoat and rain hat over her dress and head respectively, but that's a different outfit obtained from the costume gacha.

She's a wise girl who separates the wrongs from right.

Minazuki has a soothing, silvery voice.

Jake & Jane

First appearance: Gacha Life

Character element: Light

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆☆

Age: 7 (both)

Location in the real world: Des Moines, Iowa

Favourite food/drink: Chicken sandwich (Jake), garden salad (Jane)

Occupation: Farmer's son (Jake), farmer's daughter (Jane)

Jake & Jane are farmhouse twins who work and play together and would never be seen apart. Both have brown hair, hazel eyes, and wear the same red polo shirt with short sleeves. Jake has short hair, puffy yellow knee-length shorts with suspenders, white socks and brown shoes. Jane has her hair tied into a ponytail, a denim skirt with suspenders, long socks and black shoes with a single buckle.

Both Jake and Jane have been helping their father carrying wheelbarrows of melons and pumpkins, and feeding the animals. It was a lot of fun for them and they wouldn't give in.

Jake and Jane both have a generic American accent, something like Tommy and Tallulah from Tickety Toc (US dub)

Belle / Lifesaver Belle

Character gender: Female

Character element: Water

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆

Age: 21

Location in the real world: Miami, Florida

Favourite food/drink: Mocktail

Occupation: Lifeguard

Belle is a former swim instructor and current lifeguard. She has reddish-brown hair in a ponytail. Her eye color is blue. Belle's outfit is a red two-piece lifeguard outfit that consists of a sports-bra-like top, red hi-cut briefs and no footwear. She also sports a red and white visor cap with a white circular rubber attachment with a red cross on it. The red cross represents the medical red cross.

Belle is a brave lifeguard and is always ready to jump in to the scene to save lives, but when she's on the watchtower, she keeps all her focus on the sky, the sea and the sand and nowhere else, so she might lose focus on other things. Her real self does regular routines and behavior.

She has a generic American accent, but her courage would make it sound a bit harsh.

And here is me, myself. My real name isn't used here.

The Creator / Creator

First appearance: Gacha Life

Character gender: Male

Character element: Water

Rating in the character gacha: ☆☆☆☆☆

Age: (follows my age)

Favourite food/drink: Milkshake

Occupation: Creator

The Creator who made Dokitown with his tablet and pen. And with these two tools, he can create anything and bring them to Gachaverse. His outfit in Gacha Life has blue hair, one white pupil, one black pupil, a jacket, belt, long pants and a pair of shoes. In Gacha Club, he is called DJ Creator, and has dark bluish-grey hair, a black t-shirt, track pants and chuck taylors.

He's mostly chill, and sometimes jokes getting through hard times.

He has a light Australian accent with a bit of Asian essence, so he would sound something like Jeff of the Wiggles, but younger

High King/High Queen of the Principality of Federation of Kingdoms of Ethanxiia of an alien planet Ethanxiia

Paramount Chieftain and Warchief of the Confederacy of Nations of Iuyumania on the planet of Iuyamania

High King/High Queen of Mu or Hawaiki. Imagine Mount Olympus, Asgard, or Themyscira but for Indigenous Pasifika demigod metahumans and Indigenous Pasifika alien hybrid superhumans. A series of floating, terrestrial, & underwater kingdoms that was a federation or empire. It was created because of strong mystical, esoteric, arcane energies intrinsically tied to the sea, air, & land. It was built with the help of alien technology, divine help from polytheistic pagan pantheons, and arcane human magic. It was a magical focal point and is the strongest in power. It is an utopia dedicated to the free exchange of information and ideas of diverse and inclusive communities.

Through the influence of the government, military, scholars, & monarchs the empire or federation flourished and grew into an advanced realm unlike any other on the planet. Science, technology, & magic were the dominant means of power throughout the aquatic, terrestrial, & air supercontinent. They were already developing highly advanced technological wonders even in antiquity. Since its inception technology and magic were in sync and made the empire or federation both magically, scientifically, and technologically advanced. A terrestrial federation of kingdoms similar to its rival Hyperborea.

An underwater federation of kingdoms similar to its rival the technologically advanced Atlantean empire. A floating empire of kingdoms similar to its rival Asgard. Actually the size of a supercontinent. It is one of the earliest and most highly advanced cultural, technological, scientific, and magical societies on Earth.

It is an empire or federation that is further divided into kingdoms with each its own settlements, villages, towns, cities, counties, states. It is an oasis of civilization in prehistory, modern day, & the future. Although the arial, terrestrial, & aquatic federation or empire grew and prospered.

The civilizations of the outside world remained largely ignorant of Mu or Hawaiki for many decades, centuries, & millennia. In recent years however, it has found itself pushed to the forefront of public awareness. They are now considered the most technologically advanced federation of the planet.

The underwater throne room defended by sea elves riding dolphins, palace defended by merfolk and tritons riding sea unicorn, capital defended by weresharks riding (tiger, mako, & great white) sharks, & kingdoms are defended by Atlanteans riding whales (beluga, narwhals, & orcas). Their throne room is decorated with the skeletons of a megalodon, a mosasaurus, a plesiosaurus, a basilosaurus, & a livyatan. For Hawaiki the federation of kingdoms of Pasifika alien hybrids and demigods there were several kingdoms on land hidden by magic, several kingdoms floating in the air hidden by magic and technology, as well as several kingdoms underwater hidden by technology.

Their scientists develop a means so that their people could survive underwater, in the air, & on land. The experiment was a success and the serum transformed the citizens from normal human beings into a metahuman and superhuman species who could survive anywhere in the empire. The denizens of the empire or federation were changing to evolve new biological, emotional , intellectual, spiritual, and magical functions in order to better thrive. They altered differently from baseline homo sapiens due the high concentration of magic, technology, & science flowing throughout its vast territory. It's people gaining the ability to survive anywhere on land, sea, & air. Due to this habitual alternation all Hawaiki'an citizens of every nation of the empire or federation of demigods and alien hybrids are physically superior to baseline humans. As a result of being stronger, faster, tougher, smarter, and longer lived.

2for1 tonight because the binnie workout headcannon out my brain in a spiral. So I present: what all the pack members have for a secondary Instagram.

Bang Chan: mix between work (upcoming snippets of songs and beats) and then nature shots, primarily the beaches he gets to see. Kinda infrequent because the boy is tired. Uses it to promote his DJ side gig even tho the boy has a waitlist of people.

Minho: kittens duh. Soondoondori are the main stars, from whatever he has personally in his phone or whatever his mom sends him. Guest cats make a good appearance too, like the upstairs neighbor’s escape artist or strays he befriends with treats.

Noona: day in the life vlogger. Primary focus is on her school work but second to that is exploring different cafes with mates. Also focuses on women and subgender empowerment in STEM

Changbin: Gym rat. Posting his sets for the day, motivation, PRs, and post workout selfies ex(1, 2). Meal prep too, but honestly if he’s gonna show food it’s gonna be a delicious cheat meal.

Hyunjin: Art. All of his art work, in all media. A beautiful little virtual gallery. Does “sketch with me” lives if he’s at home or in a quiet at the park so people can create beautiful things along with him.

Han: a vlogger, but much more interested in travel content. Shows off fun places in Seoul and he find with mates. Teams up with Noona a lot to film content. Occasional singing content or from anything he might be working on with Channie

Felix: Baking and gaming. Baking takes the foremost because that the easiest to have the most aesthetic, but since he started building his own PC he’s been documenting that. Been working on a side project on for Chan so he has something that will hold all of his projects instead of just his laptop

Seungmin: academic content. Focused to showing his life as a Bio major, the good parts and bad. Occasionally study vlogs, mostly with Noona. Tips for understanding certain topics and just over beautiful pictures of his study setup (almost always with a coffee made by Minho)

Innie: Fashion. His freshman was a little rough for him with him trying to get his footing. But he went shopping with Felix and hyunjin once and that’s all it took. Mainly now it’s his outfits he wears to work and how to make great new outfits out of pieces you already have. Occasional teacher content, but he likes to keep his ideas to himself

Nikki

Yessssssssss.

And the content, you know it'd just be immaculate.

And Chan's is like very "dad trying to figure out instagram aesthetic"

and Minho is secretly a pro because of Jisung, but he doesn't put much effort into it because he just doesn't really care

And everyone just follows Changbin so they can drool over his muscles and save his photos to make himbo memes for the pack group chat. XD

I am a big fan of recruiting ex-bigots to the left via rehabilitation and radicalization. We need that shit. Not just on a moral level of Growth without pitfalls is not Growth, it's abusive to force everyone to walk a tightrope of the Correct(tm) words and values and shit. But on a practical level too.

Rats adapt, use past mistakes to keep future generations safe. Let in ex-nazis who know the inside knowledge, ex-terfs who got the dirt on the mommy vloggers amassing a virtual army. I'm not saying you kiss their ass, or even that you personally deal with them, but they are a valuable person for the cause.

How Are DJs Using Live Streaming Equipment to Engage Audiences Online?

In today’s digital-first world, live streaming has become a game-changer for DJs. What started as a niche medium for gamers and vloggers has now grown into a thriving platform for music creators to connect with audiences worldwide. For DJs, live streaming offers an exciting way to share their craft, build a loyal following, and even turn a living room into a virtual dance floor. But how are they using live streaming equipment to make it all happen? Let’s dive into how DJs are taking advantage of this technology to captivate and engage audiences like never before.

Why Live Streaming?

Before we get into the equipment, let’s talk about why live streaming has become so popular among DJs. First off, it’s accessible. Platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram Live make it easy to reach a global audience without the need for physical venues. This is particularly important in today’s world, where travel restrictions and social distancing have changed the way we experience live music.

Live streaming also allows DJs to create a direct, unfiltered connection with their fans. Unlike traditional gigs, where the DJ is often physically separated from the crowd, live streaming brings the artist and audience closer together. Viewers can send real-time comments, song requests, or simply vibe along—making the experience feel personal and interactive.

For DJs, the possibilities are endless. They can use live streaming to host virtual parties, showcase their latest mixes, or even teach DJing techniques. It’s not just about playing music; it’s about creating a full-on experience that keeps people coming back for more.

Essential Live Streaming Equipment for DJs

To pull off a successful live stream, having the right equipment is crucial. Here’s what most DJs rely on:

Audio Interface: High-quality sound is non-negotiable. DJs use an audio interface to capture and transmit their music to the streaming platform without any loss in quality. This device ensures that the beats hit just as hard online as they would in person.

Cameras: A decent camera setup can make a world of difference. Many DJs opt for multiple cameras to capture dynamic angles, like close-ups of their hands on the decks or wide shots of their studio setup. A crisp, well-lit video helps create a professional and engaging stream.

Lighting: Lighting sets the mood. DJs often use LED lights, strobes, or even a simple ring light to add a visually appealing vibe to their streams. This enhances the overall experience, making it feel more like a live show and less like a Zoom call.

Streaming Software: Platforms like OBS Studio or Streamlabs are popular choices for live streaming. These tools allow DJs to mix audio, switch camera angles, and even add on-screen effects or overlays, like their logo or song titles.

Microphones: While the music is the main event, a good microphone allows DJs to interact with their audience. Whether it’s introducing a track or answering a viewer’s question, clear audio makes the interaction feel genuine and personal.

Stable Internet Connection: No matter how great your setup is, a poor internet connection can ruin the experience. DJs typically ensure they have a stable, high-speed connection to avoid buffering or interruptions.

When purchasing live streaming equipment, it’s always a good idea to shop from reputable audio shops that specialize in professional gear. Not only do they offer reliable products, but they can also provide expert advice tailored to your needs.

Engaging the Audience During a Live Stream

Live streaming is about more than just playing tracks. To truly engage viewers, DJs use a variety of strategies:

Real-Time Interaction: Responding to viewer comments and shoutouts helps create a sense of community. DJs can take song requests, answer questions, or simply chat with their audience between sets.

Visual Effects: Adding visual effects, like dynamic lighting or on-screen animations, keeps the stream visually stimulating. Many DJs even use green screens to create virtual stages or backdrops.

Unique Themes: Themed live streams—like a throwback night or a genre-specific session—can attract niche audiences. A retro 80s disco night, for example, could bring together fans of that era’s music.

Collaborations: Teaming up with other artists or DJs can help expand reach and bring fresh energy to the stream. Joint performances or DJ battles are especially popular and fun to watch.

Behind-the-Scenes Content: Viewers love getting a glimpse into the DJ’s world. Sharing behind-the-scenes moments, like setting up equipment or creating a new mix, makes the experience feel more intimate and authentic.

The Benefits of Live Streaming for DJs

The benefits of live streaming go beyond just connecting with audiences. Here’s how it helps DJs grow:

Global Reach: Unlike a physical event, live streaming allows DJs to reach fans from all corners of the world. It’s a great way to build an international following without leaving home. 

Monetization Opportunities: Many platforms offer ways to earn money through live streaming, such as tips, subscriptions, or sponsorships. Some DJs even use their streams to promote their merch or upcoming projects.

Creative Freedom: Without the constraints of a physical venue, DJs have more control over their sets. They can experiment with new styles, mixes, or even incorporate live instruments into their performances.

Brand Building: A well-executed live stream can enhance a DJ’s brand. Consistent, high-quality streams help establish them as professionals in the industry and keep their name on fans’ minds.

Challenges to Consider

While live streaming has plenty of perks, it’s not without its challenges. Technical issues, like audio syncing problems or sudden internet drops, can disrupt the flow. There’s also the challenge of standing out in an increasingly crowded space. With so many DJs live streaming, it’s essential to find ways to be unique and memorable.

Additionally, creating high-quality streams requires an initial investment in equipment, which can be costly for beginners. However, many DJs find that it’s a worthwhile investment in the long run, especially if they’re serious about growing their audience and career.

Live streaming has opened up a whole new world for DJs, offering endless opportunities to engage with audiences and share their music. By investing in the right equipment and creating unique, interactive experiences, DJs can turn casual viewers into loyal fans. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, live streaming is a powerful tool for taking your DJing game to the next level.

For those looking to get started, remember that quality equipment makes all the difference. Consider purchasing from reputable audio shops like VIP PRO AUDIO , as they’ll help you find gear that suits your needs and ensures a professional, seamless experience.

As live streaming continues to evolve, it’s exciting to think about what’s next for the world of music. One thing’s for sure: the DJ booth isn’t just in clubs anymore. It’s everywhere, and it’s online.
