Hi friends. I'd like to reintroduce myself 💖 While I am still "Tragic" who loves retro gaming & hype nights with the crew, I'm ready for more transparency. To show the good, the raw, the ugly. To fully be me. So hello there👋 You can call me Tragic... or you can call me Emi 💕
I hid my body on Twitch & didn't post full-body pics for years because people in my life told me to. Then I posted a pic of me in cosplay the other day and somebody DMed me that I'm a whore. So here is another picture and a reminder that I am not letting people hide me anymore ❤
Serious question: do y'all think women on Twitch are more likely to have to deal with backseating during streams? I realized all the streamers I know that heavily mention !backseat commands or have "no backseating" on their overlays are women.
Hi friends. After speaking with
@ashsaidhi
I have created a UserVoice asking
@Twitch
to reconsider gift subs being included in the new Partner Plus program. I believe in Twitch, I believe in us, and I believe more can be done here for all of us to succeed.
(Not an April Fool's Joke) Friendly reminder that it's ok to ban long-term members of your community if it is to protect you/your space. I had somebody repeatedly overstep boundaries with me for years that I defended for far too long. Finally banned them today. Feeling free 💕
Hi my name is Tragic and I never thought I would be confident enough to do the RE3 cosplay but here we are 👉👈 My journey with accepting and loving my body has been a long one, but I am so grateful to be where I am now. Twitch has genuinely taught me comfort & confidence 🥺❤
Friendly reminder that you don't need to be Partner or even have a ton of viewers to be a good streamer. If one whole person takes time out of their day to hang out on your stream, I think you're doing something right. ❤ (Maybe this reminder is more for me lol)
7 years ago I had no choice but to get sober. I was 23 years old with nothing to my name but a drinking problem + undiagnosed mental disorders. I was miserable and broken. From rock bottom, alone, and no direction in life... to being here with yall today. Proud to be sober AF. ❤
As a woman in retro (or woman streamer in general?) I get comments in my chat every day about how much quicker a man finished the game I am playing on their first try. Heads up: it's not the flex you think it is.
Streamer friends: how do you react to somebody saying they are unfollowing during a livestream? Do you ignore it? Try to resolve the situation? Say thanks and goodbye?
Hey y'all. This is so uncomfortable and I'm so sorry in advance.. but the user who has been harassing me for a year is now making donations to streamers with my username saying I want them to harm themselves. Please know this isn't me and I apologize if he comes to your stream.
So I'm officially in my Emi era~
I'm grateful for my time as TragicOnTwitch, but I'm ready for our new chapter. I am motivated more than ever to build an online home with y'all for neurodivergent & neurotypical gamers alike.
I am Emi. I am neurodivergent. I am Emidivergent. 💙
Hiii my name is Tragic and I'm a full-time streamer who has barely streamed recently 😅 Navigating my physical+mental health right now is a real journey, but I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding of my community 💖 How does one ever balance life sufficiently tho? 🤔
It's official yall! My "TragicOnTwitch" journey ends this time next week. I'll be changing my username to better reflect who I am now and my ongoing mental health journey. Be on the lookout for Emi_________ on the 27th, it only gets better from here ❤
I've lost more followers during Silent Hill 2 streams than anything else recently because how strict I am about no expectations/spoilers/fun facts/etc. I like to genuinely be immersed and have others be immersed with me. If you don't respect that then we don't vibe I guess 🤷♀️
Seeing a bunch of tweets about
#ClaireRedfield
and Code Veronica today ❤ Reminds me of my Claire jacket and my casual look of her~ Should I try another Claire cosplay soon? 👀
✨Dreams are coming true in 2024 ✨
In January of 2019, I started streaming with a small setup and a goal to share retro games with others. An
@elgato
capture card was one of my first investments.
Today I'm so excited to share that I've been chosen as an

(trigger warning) May is Mental Health Awareness Month and also a really emotional month for me. This pic is May 2020 Tragic, days before getting diagnosed with BPD. It was almost the last selfie I ever took. I'm so glad I kept fighting. Please always keep fighting, friends. ❤️
It's my 6 years of sobriety today ❤️ The catalyst of my mental health journey. 6 years of being my goofy self again, 6 years loving harder and laughing louder. 6 years of being able to have genuine fun even when the balloon doesn't cooperate 🎈 Let's celebrate 6 years tonight!!
Shout out to the toxic people who once shamed me into thinking I couldn't wear heavy makeup & cute clothes on stream. Your words don't haunt me anymore. Looks like I can feel cute and be taken seriously as a streamer after all ❤
Hi y'all 👋 My name is Tragic! 🖤 I'm a retro/variety gamer and transparent neurodivergent streamer... and news on the street is you might catch me on the
@Twitch
Legendary Women shelf this month 👀
Wow y'all. Just wow. Almost 5 years as Tragic on this platform ended with a LVL 21 hype train, many tears & laughter, sharing our favorite clips, and getting to kamehameha our way into our new era. Thank you for everything. I'll see y'all officially as Emi in a couple days. 💖
Streamer friends with nice lighting, serious question: are you basically blinding yourself? I just upgraded my lighting tonight and while I'm happy with the quality, I feel like the sun is directly in my eyeholes.
When I was younger I was often told I wasn't very pretty or my body type was too big to wear certain things. Because of this, cosplay has always intimidated me. Yet I took a chance on some new cosplays this October and got out of my comfort zone... and I'm really glad I did. ❤
Hi my name is Tragic and I'm on my 4th shot of espresso today ☕ I have to do my streamer taxes tonight which is gonna take me forever. Pls send good vibes
shout out to that toxic guy (no longer in my life) who told me i'd never amount to anything beyond "begging for money from the same 30 people forever"
❤️thank you to those 30 people who believed in me
My whole life I've felt like a weirdo excluded from the cool kids table. Because of insecurity + BPD/trauma I have pushed away meaningful connections & projected onto others. I work daily now on vulnerability & communication. Twitch and our communities have helped me so much. 💚
💥Real talk💥 I've dealt with insecurity my whole life. How I look, how others perceive me, how I'm doing compared to others... It's exhausting always judging myself. Recently I've decided to just work on loving myself instead. It's been FREEING y'all ❤ Thanks for being here.
Hi my name is Tragic and I just celebrated 4 years of streaming on Twitch! 💜 Streaming has both changed and saved my life in so many ways. I never thought randomly going live one day would lead to here. 🥺 Anyone else feel like they wouldn't be who they are today without Twitch?
Feels post ❤️ I realized today how far I've come since October 2021. This time last year I had just burnt out after getting Twitch Parter and losing my job. Now I get to do what I love with my favorite people. I smile and laugh more than ever. Thank y'all for everything 🥹
I hear it's the anniversary of
#ResidentEvil2
so I'm showing off this tee again ❤ Where does the original RE2 rank on your list of fav games from the series? 👀
January to December ✨
Tbh I started January with a lot of hope in my heart and I'm ending December just happy to have made it despite wanting to give up a few times this year. It's ok to just survive sometimes y'all. I'm proud of anybody who made it to the end of 2023 at all ❤
I don't normally talk about stuff like this, but I just need to acknowledge that when I first went live in January 2019 I was hoping even 1 single person would watch me without thinking I was a weirdo. Tonight we were at the top of the Retro category at one point. Holy. Wow. 🥹
I've recently struggled with how disposable I am as a streamer. There will always be someone else streaming, someone else playing the same games, someone to treat my community well when I'm gone. I guess that's how it is for life in general - but things feel so finite lately.
Hey y'all. I hate to do this but I need to warn everybody about this guy who has been harassing me for a year then harasses (even doxxes some) people who ban him. He has messaged me from alt's telling me it's my fault if he unalives himself, accuses me of discrimination, & more.
Streamer friendos, I've gotta ask: how do you handle streams when you know you're not at your best? I'm trying to break a toxic loop of canceling every time my energy isn't at it's best... but when my energy is lower, my streams obviously aren't the same. Feels like a lose/lose.
I entered 2021 hoping for happiness. Then I entered 2022 hoping to be a genuine full-time content creator. Today I enter 2023 happier than ever and living my dreams. Thank you all for everything. ❤ Here's to our best year together yet ✨
WE GOT THE OFFICIAL EMAIL I'M SO EXCITED 🎉🎉 My community has done so much for us and I'm so glad that this will bring even more value to their subscriptions. LET'S CELEBRATE TOMORROW NIGHT; OUR PPPP WAS A SUCCESS 🥳🥳
My community got a lot stronger when I stopped being who I thought other people wanted me to be & started being who I really am. Friendly reminder to myself plus others that life gets a lot easier when you're genuine. Forever grateful to those who have been part of my journey. ❤
Got my Undertale tattoo facing me so it can ground me daily ❤ Where are my friendos with sentimental video game tats? (It's hard to get a good picture of the inside of my arm btw 😂)
I remember the times I used to raid bigger streamers and they didn't care about my small raids. I can't imagine being like that today. It means so much to me everytime somebody raids or hosts me. Don't yall ever forget how kind it is when you choose to share your community. ❤
Goku taught me there is always room to be kind. Bulma showed me I can embrace being a strong smart woman. I used to rent DBZ VHS tapes weekly from Hollywood Video. I played Budokai for my final TragicOnTwitch stream. Reading all the sadness tonight and the community is hurting 💔
Hi. I don't want to be a bummer on main but I felt I should maybe communicate beyond my Discord that a family member passed away yesterday and I'm not myself right now. I know I've asked for a lot of patience in recent months but please know I am trying my best for streams. ❤
🎉 I'M TURNING 31 Y'ALL 🎉 Full transparency (and trigger warning I guess): I spent a lot of years saying I probably wasn't gonna make it past 30. Well I am. And I'm freaking celebrating this all month long. Celebrations begin TONIGHT 💜
Happy 123123 day, goodbye 2023 👋 Tbh 2023 was a painful year. I'm so grateful for my community, for moments like the Sonic Expo, and for the people that told me not to give up.. y'all kept me going this year. 💙 Here's to a 2024 of hope. Let's start the year hopeful together. 🫂
I've been saying I want to get into speedrunning for multiple years but I'm always too scared I will fail, or my community won't watch me, or some other excuse. But watching SGDQ has really reignited my passion to pursue it. Any speedrunners have tips for an anxious beginner?
Hi my name is Tragic and I cancel streams when I have bad brain days 🧠 BUT I have a really cool new Scissorman tee + a Wesker body pillow so life is still pretty great ❤
Between personal things/taking time off for the expo/now getting sick again, I've missed a lot of streams this month. I'm upset at myself but I'm trying to be kind to myself today instead. My amazing community always tells me to take care of myself & I'm so grateful for them. 💕
I believe in growth. In making mistakes and learning from them. In experiencing the struggles so I can come out stronger. In recent days I am putting my energy where it really belongs, and I notice I'm genuinely smiling more. Thank y'all for being on this journey with me. ❤️
(Trigger warning)
Today is the last day of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Last year, this was emotional for me as I reflected on my last suicide plan from Summer 2020. This year I didn't even think about it. I am so much happier than I have ever been and I owe it to yall. 💜
Hi I'm Tragic & I'm seeking advice from fellow neurodivergent streamers ❤️ How do yall deal with being overstimulated while live? I love streaming more than ANYTHING but sometimes I am not my best self due to overstimulation + not recovering well. ND friendos pls help 👉👈
Tonight I drove away from "Dad's house" in Texas for the last time. The man who gave everything to raise me as a single father, my rock, the reason I am who I am that has always been a short drive away.. He packed up & moved 1,000 miles away tonight. Guess I gotta grow up now 😭
Full transparency: I've been struggling to get back into my normal routine since getting sick + dealing with a bit of burnout. Balancing life just seems so overwhelming right now. Anybody else ever feel like this and/or have any tips? 💜 (pic from the other day just because lol)
Mother's Day is a difficult day for many of us (myself included) so instead I am focusing on being a mama to my furbaby today 🐶❤ Chaos says share your pet pics!
Happy Women's History Month 💙
I'm super hyped to share that we will be on the Together for Legendary Women recommendation shelf on
@Twitch
for not only this month, but an entire year!
Catch me this month on my Resident Evil journey playing as some legendary women in gaming 🎉
💙 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC 💙
In honor of this special day, I am sharing this embarrassing photo from when I was 18 and spent my entire first adult paycheck at the ancient relic of Toys R Us 😂
THANKS SONIC FOR CHANGING MY LIFE, HAPPY 32 🦔💙
Streamer friendos: I don't get to support a lot of you on Twitch these days because my weird schedule. But you can bet your bottom I try to like every tweet, TikTok, Insta post, etc I see. Supporting you from afar forever ❤️ Sincerely, not a creep for liking 10 posts at once ok
Some good news for today - I got accepted into
@eyesonbee
stream team The Trepies!! Stream teams help me meet people and develop meaningful connections, and I'm so excited to get to know the amazing humans on the team! 🎉
I just met my hero, the Sonic that's been there for me a million times during the past 20+ years, the cool blue hedgehog from my favorite game of all time. He hugged me and I was a champion and didn't even cry 🥺 Thank you
@RYANtheDRUMMOND
for a day I will never forget. 🦔💙
I've made it a mission to go into all my friend's streams and rile everybody up for hype trains. Other friends have done this to me too many times and I now have a responsibility to carry it forward. Choo choo my streamer friends 🚂
(TW; unaliving) I don't usually vocalize this stuff, but the other day when discussing my mental disorders on stream somebody said that I should kms. This confirms more than ever the importance of the true mission of my rebrand: to create a space for others like me that need one.
Since people have complained lately: hi my name is Tragic & I ask my mods to delete everything related to spoilers/backseat gaming. Literally everything. Also, I ask them to delete things that are creepy or lewd in any capacity. It's my stream and I run it how I want. Thanks ❤️
hiii today is a very special day BECAUSE IT'S MY 7 YEARS OF SOBRIETY CELEBRATION 🎉 I'm being super extra with a dress and a tiara and to celebrate we are gonna try this game "King of the Castle" I keep hearing about👑 LET'S PARTY (2 hours on the timer!)
I met Silver the Hedgehog yesterday!! When I tell y'all what an honor it was to chat with
@PeteCapella
🥺 Next time we play Sonic 06 I won't even get mad at the Silver stages 😏
2021 was when I finally felt ready to accept and come out as Ace. Lately I've been seeing lots of tweets that Ace shouldn't really be part of LGBT... I don't often say I am part of LGBTQIA because of this, but I AM valid regardless. Shout out to my fellow Ace friends. 💜🖤🤍
I know I'm not everybody's cup of tea, but one of the best things I think I've done on Twitch is this rebrand. I've felt so free to openly discuss neurodiversity, my mental disorders, and my true goals beyond myself lately. Thank you all for being part of this journey with me. ❤
✨Vulnerable tweet ✨ My whole life I've felt like who I am just doesn't fit in anywhere. That's why it's so important for me to create an understanding & accepting space. My fellow neurodivergent friends, fellow LGBTQIA+ friends, all my friendos... you are valid. You are loved💖
Hello and welcome! My name is Tragic. ❤️
I play video games wearing cat ears🐱
I support
#MentalHealthAwareness
🫂
Twitch:
^ You'll find me in Retro 3-4 times a week
YouTube:
^ Indie and/or horror games uploaded twice a week
Friendly reminder for those who ever actually think "women have it easier on Twitch". I literally have to dress differently for streams because when I wear normal crop tops like I did today, I end up on the sketchiest uncomfortable websites. 🙄🙄🙄 F
Trying an April O'Neil cosplay last night really took me out of my comfort zone, but doing so reminded me that our community is built off of supportive people embracing ourselves. I love that yall give me a chance to try new interests like cosplays. Thank yall for being you. ❤
Happy Sunday from your local neighborhood Tragic! I'm taking one last day to finish a few more things behind the scenes & returning to stream Monday 7:15 PM CT! Lots of upgrades coming, lots of motivation has returned to me, lots of gratitude for the best community on Twitch. 💛
