Hi BlueSky I’m so sorry I’m bad at updating multiple apps. TLDR: life is better, I’m moving to England on a visa but don’t worry, I’ll be back in North America to still cast! Thanks for all of your love at Portland. I’ll do my best to keep updating you all better :)

See you all at NAIC at the tables! 🎉

I always feel very strange when people put me on a pedestal because I understand the position I’m in but I don’t like being treated like I’m anything more than a person. Weird caveat

Having an ocean between us is the hardest thing ever but I wouldn’t do this for anyone else. Following your heart isn’t scary when you can trust who’s at the end of the road

Heading back over the pond this weekend to do some relationship time and commentary studying. Anything from Atlanta that may have went under the radar?

I was asked tonight what the greatest moment I’ve felt in the past year and this picture speaks 1000 words. Every day I’m grateful I get to wake up and be the best I can be for you all and we will work as hard as possible to improve every day.

Applying for my masters in cyber security management soon. Hooray more debt added to my life!!

Atlanta regionals roll call! Who am I seeing there? I’m arriving pretty late Friday so it’s an early start for me Saturday!

I’m glad I can be a bit more “honest” here but this is possibly the happiest I’ve been with a human ever. To have so much mutual respect on both sides for who we are and what we’ve worked for is the most seen I’ve ever been. Might just not leave next time.

He knows me really well :)

Sunday blues 😔

Very excited to go back to the UK next week, even if it’s only for a couple days. Talking every day on discord doesn’t even come close to spending actual time together :)

Let’s redo that post. I’m so honored I’ll be attending worlds this year as a content creator. Pokémon doesn’t have a BlueSky yet, but I am ever grateful my journey is going to Anaheim. #freeaccess

Didn't get a crazy cool graphic but I will be attending the World Championships this year for Pokemon. The season isn't over yet but this has been a life changing year for me. I hope everything stays good

Ah yes, my yearly sciatica flare up is back making it impossible to sit comfortably at my cubicle. 5pm ER appointment setup, need me some relief 😭

I’ll be back in the UK during the first weekend of April and the first week of May so I am not doing Milwaukee regionals. Atlanta, Portland, NAIC, and worlds spectating are on my radar for the rest of the season. Feels like Baltimore was yesterday.

Hey gamers! I started my new job yesterday! It’s the first time I have a cubicle! Today I started to bring in some stuff to make it a bit more cozy!

I don’t even know how to make my feelings into words about coming back to the US tomorrow. This extension of my trip was not planned, but simply has become the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m so sad to be leaving, but there’s a glimmer of hope that my life has been changed forever.

Hi! I’m very bad at updating multiple apps, I’m still in the UK post EUIC, some extraordinary things happened but I’m okay. Every day feels so bright and wonderful and I’m very sad that I eventually have to go home to the US. Never thought I’d be this happy in this life.

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.

I spent money on things and stuff :)

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 ❤️
