Future Social Media Plans

 

Hello Nightmarian Crew!

    It's been awhile since I actually did a full update when it comes to socials, and I want to start changing that. I have so many platforms to utilize, and I want to start to process of using them more so that way we can continue to grow the community all while keeping things interesting and fun! I still find great joy that we fully surpassed 100 followers on Twitch in less than 6 months, which to me is a great accomplishment in itself! Day by day we grow the Nightmarian Crew and stream by stream we continue on these fun and crazy adventures in games that bring me complete and utter joy while you, the viewers, enjoy being with me all the while. Your neverending support means the world to me, and with that, I can't thank you all enough!

    So, let's talk my social media platforms! It is with great excitement that I announce that I will be assembling all of the screenshots that I have taken over the years and showcasing them for all of you guys to see! These screenshots will be posted on both Deviantart (which I haven't used in years, but was a platform that would bring me joy) and Tumblr (another platform I used to haunt a long time ago that also would bring me joy, Tumblr will also have some other goodies eventually too not just screenshots!). I have A LOT of them, so I hope you guys will enjoy some of the things I would do as well as see why some of these games brought me great happiness when I would play them (and one day, I hope to go back to playing them, but that's a story for another day!). Please feel free to give me a follow on both Deviantart as well as Tumblr if you guys want to see these screenshots! I hope you like them as much as I had when I took them!

    Next, my Instagram. So for starters, I have two of them, one personal and the other for other stuff. The main one where all of my Streaming stuff as well as art that I get done will be on the one labeled NightmarianXelGames. I may also post some artsy photos that I do myself, but that's something I'm still trying to mull over. More information about Instagram stuff will be updated soon.

    We also have Gaia Online, which is actually a website where I found three longtime friends of mine! For those who know Doom, Sixx/FreelancerMichigan, and Sol the Sunbear/MarioMania, I met these three in Middle School on this platform and it's another website that still brings me joy here and there. Please feel free to click on the link in my linktree if you want to join the world of Gaia and check out what different things the website has to offer! They have forums, games, and you can customize an avatar to match your style! There's nothing short of anything on there, and there are plenty of ways to connect with people on there too (and no, I'm not sponsored by them lol. It would be pretty sweet if I did one day though!). Definitely check them out and maybe you'll find others that like the same things as you!

    The other socials that I'm still in progress of mulling over are my Threads, Facebook Page, as well as YouTube channel. Threads might just be similar to what I'm doing on Bluesky and X, same thing with my Facebook Page once I actually get to updating things. The YouTube Channel on the other hand will probably take some time still, but once I fully get things situated with that, there will be a separate announcement for it. For now, that's everything you guys need to know on what I'm planning and I hope you all look forward to all the future content that I'll be working on!

    As always, enjoy your time on the ship and I can't wait to continue this adventure with you all! Oh! And don't forget that there's tea to be had with D&Tea, the tea company that I am affiliated with!

    If you would like to purchase some tea and are a massive tea fan, please be sure to click here to check out what kind of stock they have! Their tea is delicious and I might be ordering myself some more when I run out. I recommend the Shadowfell Slumber if you like fruity tea (and I always make my fruity tea strong because I love it that way lol).

    Welp, now that I did my advertising, I'm off to plan some more! Until then Nightmarian Crew!

Affiliate Status, Scheduling, and More!

    Hello Nightmarian Crew!

    First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has followed and supported me during my streams and have also started to follow me on my socials! Your support means a lot and it just means that you all have been enjoying the content that I have been creating! From your support, I have finally reached Twitch Affiliate status and I can't wait to continue this journey and adventure together with you all as we move forward with growing a supportive community that everyone enjoys! I shall continue to keep sharing content as well as keeping you all up to date on everything that I'm doing! There will be an affiliate stream planned, just currently ironing out what I want to do for it and once I have everything solidified, then I'll send an announcement out!

    If you haven't joined the discord server yet, you can click on this link here! My discord server is where you can find all of my updates as well as interact with other community members too!

    In addition to becoming an Affiliate, that means I'll be starting to plan out a stream schedule each week! Stream scheduling will begin the week of January 12. At the current moment with my work schedule, as well as still dealing with apartment stuff, I'll be narrowing down to streaming 3 days a week until everything is fully completed. Who knew that moving would take so long right? But it's been a wonderful first month in the apartment. Pixel and I couldn't be happier, and we can't wait to continue our future together in this brand new chapter of our lives!

    As I gain more followers and continue with a schedule for both streaming and social media, I'll eventually come up with some other fun things to do with you, the Nightmarian Crew! There's also a lot of trips and projects I have planned this year as well, and 2025 is looking to be an amazing year in general! I can't wait to share what else that I've been up to, but for now, these are some of the bigger things that are happening at this current time.

    Thank you again for your support and continue to enjoy your time here on the ship Crew! Until the next update!

A New Chapter and Future Plans

    Hello Nightmarian Crew!

    So I've been a little bit quiet on my end, mostly in part because a lot of things in real life are happening all at once, and of course it being the holidays as well as a few other variables, it's been keeping me stressed. As of recent, with the help of Pixel and a few other friends, I got out of a toxic situation that wasn't really doing my mental health any good. It's a long story, I would rather not explain in full detail due to personal reasons, but just know that it wasn't a good place for me mentally and it was making it hard for me to grow and thrive as a person. The way I left obviously wasn't really the best, but it was what had to happen in order for me to continue to grow as a person and be able to get myself into a better mental headspace.

    Which leads to what I had recently said on Bluesky: Pixel and I are in the process of moving in together, and we do have an apartment. However, we have to wait until renovations are fully finished before we can continue moving stuff in. So while we wait, we have been making plans on what we're going to do as well as planning streams and other content that we want to share with all of you guys! Pixel and I can't wait to continue this exciting chapter together while also continuing to grow and spread love through our communities while also creating content that makes us happy!

    Also, for those who are in my Discord Server know that I have already planned my very first game that I will be doing a FULL playthrough of on my Twitch Channel. The game is Dragon Age: The Veilguard! The Dragon Age series (as well as Mass Effect!) have always been games that I have held near and dear to me, and experiencing Veilguard for the very first time with you all is going to be amazing! Also, special thing when it comes to these streams: Face Cam WILL BE ON so all of you can see my genuine reactions to everything that happens in this game! Look forward to these streams starting next month once I'm fully settled into the apartment! I will also be customizing both Rook and the Inquisitor (as voted by those in the server) on the stream, so look forward to that too!

    A lot of amazing content coming up, so get ready Nightmarian Crew! Until then!

A Formal Introduction About Me

 Let's Get To Know Your Captain!

Artwork by Melle-D!

First off, welcome aboard the ship and becoming one of the Nightmarian Crew!

    You can either call me Xel, Xerrica, or Captain (whatever you prefer). You may be wondering, what inspired me to be a Content Creator? Well, allow me to go more in-depth with it rather than the simple introduction that I shared on my discord server.

    I am a woman of many different talents, and of course many different passions. I like singing, gaming, crafts, and most importantly, writing to name a few! I've always grown up with the arts around me, and I always like finding more creative ways to show exactly what I'm capable of. Allow me to break some things down for you all:

• Let's start with gaming. I've been a gamer since I was a little girl. I always found interesting fascination with it. Some of my family members had various consoles such as the Nintendo 64, the Atari, the NES, the original Xbox, and the SNES. I would literally be on a small ladder just to play Duck Hunt when I was about 5 years old. As I got older, I started branching out with different other video games, getting a GameBoy Advance by the time I was about 7 or 8. That's when I started getting into games more and more, and over the years ended up getting a Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3ds, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch to name a few consoles that I have (and I even still have my old gameboys too!). Gaming will always be one of my favorite things to do, even more now that I have a gaming laptop.
• Then there's the singing. A lot of my friends have always told me that I have a tendency to eat the Canary seeds. Singing is something that I've always enjoyed and have always had a drive for since I was in Middle School. I was a part of my school's Chorus from Sixth Grade alllll the way to my Senior Year of High School. If you think I'm a Soprano, think again. I have more of a comfortable range when it comes to lower notes, which makes me an Alto. One day, I do want to be able to write and sing my own music, so that will be something to look forward to one day!
• We're not going to talk about my artsy side, or more lovingly referred to as my crafting side. Okay. . .we actually are going to talk about it. There are various types of artsy media that I like to do, once I actually get inspiration for the long list of projects that I have in my docket. I like to draw (when I have an idea. Not too great at it since I need to practice more), do bullet journal stuff, make fake terrariums, paint, and do scrapbooking to just name a few of the things that I have. We would be here all day if I told you what other crafting projects I have up my sleeve, so you're better off just waiting to see what I share lol.
• Finally, the topper that tops them all, my passion and love for writing! Storytelling is something that I've always enjoyed the most, and I have been writing since I was in Middle School, and even have a Bachelor's Degree in English/Creative Writing. The genres I mostly write are Steampunk, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy with some dark romance. Over time though I might delve into other genres, but those are my main favorites. I've also done poetry, but my main specialization is Fiction writing. I practically breathe writing almost every day, as it's something that I love and storytelling will always be the thing that brings me joy.

    So, why exactly am I sharing all of this? For starters, I want to be able to inspire others to pursue the things they love. Uplifting others and creating a loving and healthy community is one of the biggest things that I aspire to do. Everyone should be able to pursue the things they love and are passionate about, and having a strong support system of others helping others I find is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I want my community to join me on this journey together, because spreading kindness is important rather than spreading drama.

    Eventually, I might do a Q&A once the community grows bigger, so for now this is a little bit about who I am and I hope for those who read this continue to follow me on my adventures!

The Chart Ahead

 Hey Everyone!

I know I’m still on a hiatus, but I thought I would give an update on my mental headspace, as well as a few other things and it's still leaving me in a very dark place at the moment. There’s a few things I’m still trying to wrap my head around, most of it personal that should remain private, as matters are being settled privately. Please know that once everything is set, I will return, which should be in approximately a week so thank you for being patient at this time.

Now, onto the next thing!

As word got to me about Stream Team shutting down, it didn’t feel right for me to not say anything and let you guys know where to find me, via my social links. I do plan to have my own discord up and running soon, and will announce when it’s ready. All you gotta do is pay attention to my socials when I announce them (and going to do my best to keep track of everything! Life has been busy and my brain has been scrambled a lot lately!)

If you are looking for my socials, here is my LinkTree (and plan to make a caard soon): https://linktr.ee/nightmarianxel

Much love to all of you! I'll be back before you know it once everything is settled! Don't forget to support and give love to all of your favorite streamers!
