wrote this yesterday, bored. it seemed too autistic to post, now i feel like i have to. lol
he always says moving is because of his trauma, but its probably more like 70/30 she wanted out vs his trauma. assume they are together and making decisions together, then her moving alone seems intentional like they got the idea from other streamers/therapists etc that living apart could improve things. have to set aside time to be together and you get alone time(both want this). sudden drop in alts/activity, seems like it worked. the huge shift in mood, lotr/anime, twitchcon, gauntlet. relationship is great after the move, they see each other because they are excited to, not just because they are in the same house.
the OF promo pics drop. fight, weird DM's, his fault, her fault, whatever. but it dumped cold water all over that excitement to see each other. so many saying breakup, but there are so many little positive things that, i wouldn't even call it a break. it seems more like interactions just went from
>movie tonight?
>yes! i want to finish lotr!
to
>movie tonight?
>nah not really in the mood.
shifted to mostly solo time and with others, klats, nick, ee. also just busy. went from 60% of free time together to 10% for a 2 weeks. talking some (shelter cats) but hardly visiting.
streaming together is now awkward if they don't want to hangout, gauntlet dies, can't just skip halloween party so he goes to la since people were asking. back from la, 2+ weeks passed, they remember that they are adults and sat down to talk(after alt?). felt like a subtle shift after la. settled on wow plan(solo script), probably decided after the trouble planning the gauntlet it would be basically impossible for both to always be available for wow, "solo" doesn't mean they don't play, just more flexible. otv vid was mostly positive, laughing at his jokes, "two cups", maybe that "never let me have anything" reaction could be bad. mystery food delivery. movie plans after wednesday 6th stream.
