## concept: e-boy martin

so martin would probably stream some fantasy rpg, like skyrim, fallout etc. what have at you (he’d definitely be one of those nerds that spends like 2h at character creation fleshing out their backstory)

jon doesn’t really understand it, but he really likes seeing martin ramble on at dinner about some funny donation or a moment with perfect timing

when you’re streaming, a lot of people have this character they have created for entertainment - i like to think martin would be really petty and comically haughty with his online persona, pretending to be cold-hearted and unempathetic toward fictional characters and other players for laughs (obviously recognizing that it’s for a comedic purpose and not with real spite)

jon doesn’t really get this either, i mean he does know WHY he does it but he doesn’t quite dip into the same characterization if he ever happens to pop on the stream

so whenever jon enters the room, the chat goes hog-wild. because u know. it’s the ‘‘socially inept and oblivious boyfriend of this streaming bastard’‘. playing into his character, martin would lean back and take a sip of his iced tea in a smug way while jon would do something like wrap his arms around his neck conversationally, with martin casually asking if he had a good walk.

but then jon would slip out something devastingly revealing, like ‘‘oh, betty-sue was on the field grazing again, the farmer said that she was bouncing back from her pneumonia well!’‘ martin spits out his tea.

he sputters in dismay: ‘‘oh my god- jon, not in fr- not right now!’‘, ushering him out of the picture. but poor jon doesn’t get it. he just stands there confused. continuing after an awkward silence: ‘‘but she had the earmuffs you gave her on, the farmer even said that she’d be happy to see you again too after such a long time.’‘ martin has perished.

after the initial impact, only one comment repeats on the chat:

good going cowboy
