Little do people know that my commentary origin story comes from the fact I still wanted to go to events but I was getting MASSIVE social anxiety and getting triggered from loud noises that I found that just going in a secluded area and talking to one other person just made me feel better.

I got a new job! It’s a much better lifestyle fit for me and it’s double what I’m making now. Hybrid on Monday and Friday too so I can do commentary gigs a bit easier on the weekends. I’m relieved

Morning gamers. The best part of casting a card game is that there’s always something to study, the meta always shifts and moves, and I can really take it all in. Also I hate Dragapult

Hey BlueSky, I’m going to London in 16 days. I’m really excited. I’m ready to face the Pokémon center line.

Kind of emotionally shot. I really need a hug because I just know I’ll never get answers.

I will still be attending EUIC after all of this because Pokemon is my hobby too, it's still my place and I am so overwhelmed with the amount of people and love I've received that care about ME and not someone else that I was associated with. LONDON BABY!!!

I think the only tough part of any sort of connection falling out is the tough reality when you realize you did everything you could and people are free to walk if they are unhappy, even if it’s not your fault.

I can’t wait to tell my therapist tonight that people on a boat in San Antonio yelled “we love you Lyric”

Another “my following is small here, I’ll just say what I want” post but I got my heart ripped out last Monday, 5 days before the regional, and I absolutely crushed commentary regardless. Absolute cinema

Hi BlueSky fam, I’m sorry I didn’t update you all this weekend but I think San Antonio was amazing. I’m so honored, humbled, and grateful to be here. Thank you all for your love.

Good morning, As a caster who came up in grassroots esports, getting flown out to go work is a rare luxury I’ve now only had 3 times. I’m emotional thinking about the journey I’ve had in casting and my life and grateful to all of you I know Dad is watching me fly (literally)❤️

My following over here is a lot smaller than the other site but seeing so much positive reception again on that graphic brought me to tears. I’m so honored.

I don’t think there’s another account for Play! Pokémon over here, but I’m casting San Antonio this weekend. Honestly I’ve been tearing up seeing how excited people are to have me back on the desk. I’m so excited

Losing connections 5 days before a regional is certainly not going to give me emotional damage or anything. (It will) (I’m sad) 5 days to lock in.

Happy Monday and MLK day! It’s time to lock in this week

Hey gamers, going through a lot of sad times right now. I can’t wait for San Antonio, I need some hugs and encouragement heavy right now

After playing cards for the last week, I've realized that the online communities for the other game I cast is nothing more than miserable and I don't have to force myself to be there. I'll come back for the big tournaments but it's not worth how I've been feeling for $100 after the weekend.

I highly recommend for anyone in the public light at any capacity to get a therapist. You don’t have to go often but when controversy happens it’s so much better to have someone outside the space to vent to. I feel a lot better.

It felt really good to get out of the craziness of what’s going on and go back to a quiet card shop with 15 of my buddies for locals. Really needed the silence of some of these TCG rounds, really felt like I could hear myself think for the first time in a bit.

Given that 2025 is upon us I figure it’s time for my semi-annual reminder: if an individual makes you feel unsafe at a #PlayPokemon event my DMs are always open. While i may not be able to help directly, I will do what I can to help in the moment. Pokémon is for everybody, let’s keep it that way.

Seeing people say “stop flying casters out” is crazy because I drove myself to 99% of my gigs in Smash except both PAXs I attended. I just shared a room over the weekend with 3 other casters, paid/split by all of us. Where is this luxury life people are talking about in Smash???

I am so fortunate to have awesome friends in casting outside of Smash. I feel really supported from my peers tonight and very validated that I made the right choice for myself (and my career) down the line. Hanging out on Discord is awesome.

Smash commentary discourse always gets me so irritated because no one can just be normal and say “I don’t like their commentary” It always has to be a grand stand and low key inciting hate over a preference. $50 a block is not worth all the social hate trains

I’ve been casting for a bit now, but nothing will beat seeing the Twitch chat light up with people so happy to see you on the microphone after years of harassment from miserable people online and being the subject of nasty locker room talk at points. I missed feeling this alive.

Let’s have fun this weekend LMBM ✨

I’m excited to announce I’ll be back on the mic for my first event of the year, Luminosity Make Big Moves! I’m honored to be casting top 16 to top 8 on main stream. I believe that’s my biggest block in Smash for a S tier event. Starting 2025 with Tristate Smash is the best ❤️

I will be at LMBM this weekend in NYC, I will not be there tomorrow until after work. I love casting but I also struggled to land a job for a year and a half, missing one day of a major in exchange for not using time off (that I don’t have yet) is just the sacrifice I’ll make.

We're officially in January. This month is packed with stuff. We're SO back. 👀

What a year. I’ve accomplished so much that I am so proud of. Through every hard time I had, through every learning lesson, through life and loss, I am thankful for everyone who is in my life. 2025 will be great. I will continue to work hard and I will continue to grow ❤️

Got my card stolen and whoever got to it used some of the last of my first paycheck, ending 2024 truly on a sad note.

I went to the last Xanadu yesterday after work to commemorate the work the team and the venue have done for me as a person and caster, and the overall smash scene. But oh my god, it was so LOUD in there, I started to play TCG to be in a quieter environment and it just works for me. But it was LOUD!

Having to worry about paying to go work is the worst feeling ever, what do you mean I’m going -$300 for this event 😭
