Welcome

Welcome to my blog!

I'm MelodicButtonmash. You're welcome to call me Buttons. My pronouns are zey/zem or they/them. I'm a genderfluid VTuber, variety streamer (on Twitch), and music composer. I love playing games that tell a good story.

Most of my activity is on my Twitch channel, where I strive to create a safe space where all adults are welcome (18+). There I mostly play games, but I also host co-working streams, charity streams, participate in raid trains, and occasionally compose on stream. Most of the raid trains I've participated in have been organized by the Rainbow Raid Relay* or Trans Lifeline. I am also a member of the Diverse Hearts (official) and founding member of the Chaos Gremlin Love Squad (unofficial) stream teams.

*The Rainbow Raid Relay is a bi-monthly event on Twitch featuring queer / LGBTQIA+ streamers. To my knowledge it does not have 1 central publicly-accessible web presence that is consistent between events.

In addition to all that I post my edited VODs (videos on demand) on YouTube and thoughts on BlueSky (links to my channel / profile). The thing is, BlueSky has a very low (300) character limit. I often find it difficult to express myself within that limit, and I'm more comfortable writing than making video essays or podcasts.

So, here we are, with a new blog. I'll use it to share long-form posts about... whatever is on my mind. Like today I wanted to write about something in Subnautica: Below Zero (that will be a separate post). It would have taken at least 5 posts on BlueSky! I've done even longer ones - I think the longest was 11 posts - and it's just ridiculous. Definitely time to add yet another platform! (Thank goodness I have a LinkTree.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my blog! 

About a week and a half ago I wrote about potentially being plural in some capacity: 2 or more entities sharing 1 body. I had always exper...
