Work servers are down and I'm not constantly coughing... what if I randomly streamed? Let's go!

My real masterpiece from stream today: Santa Pig
Terrible MSPaint art of Santa in a red Santa suit and hat... but Santa is a pig with a pink face with a snout and a pink curly tail

I'm pretty sure my beautiful (terrible, cursed) MSPaint "art" is a sign of a successful return to streaming 😆
a terrible MSPaint drawing of "Sinta", Santa's cousin who promotes being naughty and butt stuff, in a red Santa hat and red Santa suit, with a "sin"ched very tiny waist "throwing it back" shaking his butt Terrible MSPaint art of Santa in a red Santa suit and santa hat, holding a "Mr Whippy" soft serve ice cream cone in one hand and a phone in his other hand (ordering more ice cream from doordash) Terrible MSPaint art of Sinta, Santa's cousin, drinking milk directly from the carton, being caught by Santa coming through the door Disturbingly terrible MSPaint art of "Santa cow" - a terrible black and white cow, with pink udders and a red Santa hat

Me wearing a technically burgundy tank top, but it looks more of a chocolate brown on camera? Idk how cameras work. Brown plush Chair Monkey, as usual, is about to fall from his perch above my shoulder

Twitch helpfully describing me every time I stream: a live unstable British crumpet

Finally, we can confirm that @filmotter.bsky.social is NOT a giant and is actually a goo goo gaga bitch baby on a totally normal sized chair
Otter lying down and flailing on the seat of a huge wooden chair with orange seat, legs and arms and a plain light wooden back with the text “Yerba Buena Gardens”

Today’s very sensible stream plan: me, knowing nothing about pikmin, guiding a blindfolded Otter through the game… This will be chaos 😆
www.twitch.tv/filmotter2
Me sitting in Otter’s chair with a plush blue pikmin on my shoulder. Behind me, Otter is waving his arms to find his way as his eyes are covered with a blindfold decorated with wide pikmin eyes and a blue pikmin sprout with a green leaf on top

Me looking at a plush otter with a red starfish sitting on my shoulder Me, again with a plush otter on one shoulder, now looking at the other shoulder where a second plush otter and a plush Keroppi the frog have appeared

Otter: Let’s go to the zoo!
Me: Aww, we got engaged there 🥰
Otter: Yes, but this time there’s horror and murder and Zoochosis, UwU
Me: Help 👀
Otter: And we’re making it have extra chaos 🎉

I may not have my luggage, but I’ve had a haircut so I can look pretty 😆

Also... the alternate outfit (actually from Folsom) is a harness (everyone behave 🤣)

Me wearing a white tank top and holding a hand up to present the logo on it: two M&Ms-like characters, one red and one blue, but these are "S&Ms", both wearing leather harnesses. The red "S" holds a whip and the blue "M" wears a leather hat. The two plush Chair Monkeys peep out from the back of the chair behind my head

Finally, some proper British summer weather!
A screenshot of the weather app showing the current temperature 15C (feels like 10C) and a 10-day forecast showing rain for every day with low temperatures ranging from 9-12C and highs of 15-17C (for the Muricans: 10C is 50F, 16C is about 61F)

Last night I felt like I was finally almost recovered from the nasty virus that has kept me laid up in bed this week. I slept for 12 hours... and woke up full of cold 🤧 Can my poor immune system get a break from viruses? Or at least make the next one a macrovirus so I can go all Action Janeway on it
Captain Janeway, in a purple tank top and with a knife in one hand, faces off against a macrovirus - a roughly tetrahedral brown creature with a tendril emerging from each of the points of its pyramid body and a spike pointing down from its base - in a corridor on Voyager in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Macrocosm"
