Starlight is their username

This is the only "friendly" thing I've seen in this stream so far.

sorry, it's just that you came at a quite unpleasant time.
lately another user, interactionsystem is having some troubles rn and we're trying to help her

She is not even here.

ik that's exactly wha i mean

How can you help her if she is not here?

with memechat

What's "memechat"?

look at the top of your screen and you'll find the answer

I saw.

Oh man, you came at a sh*tty time, right in the middle of the biggest incident yet. But you still deserve the warm Understream welcome.

Welcome, O Starlight, to the Understream. Den of chaos, of sorrows, of OC shipping, of mental distress.

Heh. The greeting sounds like a perfect description to the stream's current mood, as far as I saw. Anyway, mind giving me your opinion on this "biggest incident"? I'm interested by this stream's history.

This is my customary greeting; we always rise again.

History? Well, we have a lot. This incident is definitely not the first; I joined after a user almost committed suicide and a pedo was in the process of getting discovered and banned. Shipping drama, users leaving, depression, I've seen almost all of it. This incident? Everything rolled into one. Interaction came very, VERY close to simply snapping and possibly killing herself with the arrival of a hacker, the overthrowing of Gaster, an old friend of hers, IsolationSystem becoming simply "Isolation." and sending encoded comments saying lots of less than positive things, and, most recently, a Jeffery alt. Sonmewhere between all that, she put "??????" at the start of her bio. Now her bio is just ellipses, and that's never a good sign for a depressed person.

I'm beginning to worry mysef. Mind telling me who is this Gaster and IsolationSystem? Is IsolationSystem some kind of arch nemesis for InteractionSystem?

Oh right.
Gaster was the old owner; he eventually unmodded every mod and owner, then Interaction got him to owner her and he is no longer allowed in any position of power here.

IsolationSystem was InteractionSystem's old friend, they apparently met because of the contrast of their usernames. He's since spoken in what I think is base64, which only tf2_spy and one or two other guys knows for some reason. He is definitely capable of normal speech, but he doesn't use it.

I see.

What happened to Gaster? Did InteractionSystem kick him from the stream? That doesn't sound fair.

He was eventually unbanned, but he can no longer be mod or owner. He was power-abusing, modding anyone who said "I eat human souls" (I know, I tried), comment banning anyone he wanted, threatened to delete the stream, tried to get a sitemod against us (they didn't agree), and according to the old "mod food chain" he was essentially the top and no one could refuse him.

He sounds awful. How did InteractionSystem manage to get him to give owner to her?

Ah, ok. I get it, I've been misgendered a lot

Relatable.

Guy is gender neutral in my opinion.

I know. I just don't like being misgendered, even though I'm technically non-binary.

Well you're not a bad guy

I'm a female...

Mods that aren't active enough get unmodded
It's a pretty fair rule, frees up space in the mod list

You sound like a pretty good person to be a mod. I don't see why they should unmod you.

Well, yes, but everyone needs a but of luck no matter what for, unless they're a f*cking b*tch, and you're chill.

I'm not really chill. I'm pretty cold and forward when it comes to anything serious.

And to you too, in whatever you choose to do.

I'm surely not getting mod now? I literally just appeared.

I'm not too active, I wouldn't really be mad but I do wanna stay mod so I'm watching the approval queue closer

Fair. Good luck.

I don't know, they were memechatting (private message system).

I see. And are you still a mod here?

Yeah, but I haven't approved too many images and the mod purge is soon so I need to step up my game.

What's a mod purge?

Welcome! I've been sleeping, so I didn't get the chance earlier!
Sorry for the drama (even though we all are very concerned about her [system])

It's all very well. I heard many explanations about it. Who are you?

I'm GreenLegoMonkey. I just joined imgflip and this stream a little over 2 weeks ago, because my brother irl (RedLegoMonkey) has been a part of this stream for a while, and I wanted to join to see what it's about and start sharing my OCs.
And in that short time, System has become one of my friends, and she gave me mod after becoming owner

I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Starlight, or you can just call me Star.

All of these descriptions of InteractionSystem are making me more and more curious to meet her.

Hopefully she'll be doing fine, cause thinking back on it, her late night self could be a little cranky and stuff. But who isn't?

OGPaintedFish, or Fish, had showed me an image of hers saying she's feeling suicidal.

Yeah. I don't know what to say about that.

I don't know either. I just hope your friend's all right.

Thanks

i knew dw

Well, they said we were being rude for not welcoming them
