    Hello helloo! Sorry for not uploading last week, I wasn't feeling the best and some things came up but here I am again! Now that school is over, I will try to push out more videos from now on as well as streaming! I haven't made a schedule yet but I'm hoping to stream at least twice a week :D
    Thank you guys for your words under my recent community post, I appreciate the support and I strive to make better content for y'all!!

    On a real note Table would find it difficult to believe that some people would actually like Table's imperfections.
    A person willing to put up with Table's inadequacies more than Table himself would have to either be delusional or also a League of Legends enjoyer :D

    Bestfriends to lovers is really great especially with a lot of teasing and bickering on the sides. Especially if both harboured secret feelings for quite a while.

    Another day, another bad day at work. I get home and try to fall asleep to some asmr while my anxiety and stress is driving me crazy. Listening to stories about friendship and blossoming romances. It make me sometimes wish my stress would stop me from waking up and go to a place where someone actually likes me. Hopefully, tonight will be the night... Thank you for the asmr, sorry for the bad vibes.

    Ultimate strategy to get someone to confess to me! Pretend to be asleep...

    • @WDinATX
      @WDinATX 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Only one problem with that strategy: I, unlike Listener-San, would probably fall asleep before I heard anything of import.
      I can see it now, me trying to pretend to sleep so this can happen and then falling asleep for real before someone walks in and confesses in me, and it makes me feel bittersweet and amused at the same time.
