While the COVID-19 pandemic might have thrown a wrench in everyone’s plans, forcing people to stay at home more often than expected as well as delaying games like Elden Ring. To say this year was filled with gloom is a bit of an understatement, but that certainly doesn’t mean that there weren’t moments of hope to shed some light.
With bars and restaurants shut down, folks seemed to flock to their consoles and handhelds, as well as viewing their favorite streamers on Twitch. While some streamers like Mr Beast used the pandemic to host gift card giveaways, there were others, like Pikachulita, who used their platform to discuss important issues and provide a safe, welcoming space to all who needed it.
Pikachulita is an LGBT focused streamer on Twitch who not only streams her favorite games like Among Us and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, but she also occasionally hosts streams for “Just Chatting” where she invites her fans to join her to discuss what’s going on in the world with topics on diversity and inclusion. Pikachulita has certainly made a name for herself as a wholesome streamer with a safe space for gamers, and she got one of the most wholesome moments of her life while streaming a few rounds of Move or Die. A few hours into her stream of the popular, competitive platformer, Pikachulita’s partner came from behind her to ask for her hand in marriage.
In what seemed like a joke at first quickly turned into reality as Pikachulita wrapped herself in her partner’s arms in complete disbelief. After a few moments of insisting the moment wasn’t real, her partner erased any inclination of suspicion by showing off the ring before the two enveloped each other in a hug. The stream continued for a few moments more as Pikachulita exclaimed her hair wasn’t done nor was she wearing any pants, but her partner insisted none of that mattered as this was purely just a moment of love for the happy couple. This was a rare wholesome moment on Twitch compared to some of the usual drama like Addison Rae’s Among Us stream.
Quickly after, Pikachulita announced she had to leave so the two could celebrate and the stream ended. After a long year of uncertainty and the US government enacting a bill that could make Twitch streaming a felony, seeing moments like this are exactly what the world needs.
There were plenty of great video game surprises in 2020, and for Pikachulita, this moment was certainly one of them.
