For now though, this is gonna be the end of the chapter of Eva Lees The Yugioh Player, and a new chapter in the life of Eva Padilla. I'm excited to see what it brings.

Tah-tah for now duelists! (7/7)

But, if our friendship extends beyond Yugioh, then I'm not too worried about it. 💫

This game has done so much for me over the years, and I'm truly grateful for all I learned from it. (6)

I don't fully know what that will look like in the future. But I know by now that the joy I get from music, and the joy I get from playing Yugioh, is just not equivalent.,

I also know that, due to this, a formerly-shared interest is somewhat gone with some people. (5)

The most personally important reason: I'm putting a large amount of my focus and passion back into music, as well as wanting to pick up new things/rediscover old ones that require time/money.

For those unfamiliar that I used to perform/record music, an example: (4)

I don't want to be in a competitive pursuit in a form such as this. As much as there is a community mentality to some things in Yugioh, the stark contrast of the game ultimately being 1v1 is not something that I want to engage in right now. (3)

Having seen what it takes to be truly great at this game, the time and energy, I just do not think it will be worth it for me in the long run. I feel that my social and emotional growth will likely begin to feel stifled if I were to fully pursue that goal. (2)

Announcement!

Hi all, I've already told some friends, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be leaving competitive Yugioh.

First off, before any worries, I'm okay! Over the past couple months (and quietly for over a year) I've lost most of my taste for playing. There are a few reasons for this. (1)

The other is that I transitioned at exactly the right time for me. I definitely could have enjoyed doing so earlier, but the leap came at a turning point in my life that I don't think I would have arrived at earlier, even with more positive rep/expressions.

I'm 30 now and I dig the journey. 😎 (2/2)

Very understandable to feel that. I've had that too at some point (began transition at 24ish), but there's a couple things I take solace in. One is that having lived my teenage/a few years of adulthood as a socialized man, I've been granted some clarity that I don't think I'd have otherwise. (1)

I like Gigi too, I first saw her in a video where she talked about her sexuality and I was like, "YES, she gets me!" 😂

Nerissa, Mori, Banzoin from Holostars, Moona Hoshinova, and a bit of Kiara and Houshou so far!

I'm just starting to get into Hololive the past month or so and yeah, I love her. Oh! I mean, I am closely monitoring her. 🙂‍↕️

Video quality is lacking but the VOCAL QUALITY is just astonishing.

Especially note the 2nd chorus at the 2:30 mark. These notes are just gorgeous!

Finished. Really loved reading these short stories.

My favorite was "Not Bleak." I really can't recommend it highly enough.

So she's a 10.

Anecdotal and I'm not really saying anything by this, it's just an observation.

Eva Lees 😈 @evalees.bsky.social · 1d

On the whole, I think the differences between cis and trans lesbian culture are much larger than the differences in culture between cis and trans men.

Gutted. One of the greatest voices in music history.

It was a privilege to love his music, and to see him live was a gift. Rest in peace, D'Angelo.
