Gamer Superstar - Chapter 42

[Bonus Chapter] 42 – Boyfriend
As soon as I started the stream, my followers got a notification and a lot of people started to join curiously.

When I looked at the number of viewers, I noticed that it was going up and up.

21… 35… 49… 63… 87… 101…

“Hey guys…” I said a little nervously. Although I’d participated in streams before, doing my own stream was a new feeling.

[Hey BV!]

[Will you show your face?!]

[Show your face!]

[Good night BlackVelvet!]

[…]

As the number of viewers increased, so did the number of comments.

“I didn’t come to show my face, I just wanted to show you and see your reaction in real time to the clip I made with Jacob. I think you know him, right?” I asked.

[The furry artist?!]

[The covers he did for his other songs turned out really well!]

[If he wasn’t a furry artist, I would follow him…]

[I like his drawings!]

[He’s very talented!]

[I think this is disgusting…]

[What did you hire him for?]

“I think you noticed that I changed the visual identity of my social networks to a character of my own, right?” I asked as I used the computer to show the drawing I was now using for my profile.

[Yes!]

[It’s really cute!]

[I thought it was really cool!]

[I can’t believe a furry artist did this…]

“Well, I really liked the drawing too, so I got the idea to ask him if we could make an animation out of the Lazy Song music video, and he said yes!” I explained as I opened the music video and showed the first frame with my character in the middle and the other five dancers around him.

[Woah, that’s really cute!]

[How cool!]

[Will this be an animation?]

“The animation is finished, I’ll post it on the channel today. So I opened the stream to see your reaction to the song recorded with a better microphone and the animation, are you ready?” I asked.

[Yes!]

[Let’s see!]

[I’m excited!]

The number of viewers had already increased from 100 at the beginning to more than 500, and the number continued to increase as unsuspecting people arrived, so to wait for more people to arrive, I began to explain some things about the song and answer questions that fans were curious about.

“Yes, I’m only 17… I started making music as a hobby, but so many people liked it that AJP contacted me to manage me”. I explained excitedly.

[Woah, you’re already signed even though you’re a rank F artist!]

[Don’t tell me you signed the Rank F contract?]

[Oh no…]

“For legal reasons, I can’t reveal exactly what my contract is, but I can tell you that it’s much better than the Rank F contract, and if my rank goes up during the term of the contract, it might go up as well, so don’t worry.” I reassured the audience.

I was happy to see their concern, I had the same concern when I heard about the slave contracts these agencies made for artists in my old world.

But after reading the contract, I was reassured.

After this talk, the number of viewers increased to 900 people, and the growth was much slower now, probably reaching a plateau.

Then I finally showed the preview of the song while I was speaking.

“Look guys, the song is going to be released on MeTube and Spokify in 20 minutes, but since you’re here, I’ll let you watch it first, but when the song is released, I’ll need you to watch it again, okay?” I explained while playing the song.

When the animation started, people’s comments slowed down a lot because they were concentrating, but there were still a few people who couldn’t stand it and commented while watching.

[Bro, this is so goooooood!]

[I can’t believe this was made by a Twipper artist…]

[How cute that they put their hands down their pants while dancing lol]

[I wonder if I could record this dance to post on my profile?]

[The dance looks cool].

Their reaction was very good, they commented a lot throughout the song, but the part that got the most reaction was when the song got to the part where the characters pulled down their pants.

🎼🎶🎤

I’ll just strut in my birthday suit…

And let everything hang loose…

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

🎼🎶🎤

When I sang “read everything hang loose…” and the characters in the animation pulled down their pants and wiggled around in their underwear, the stream chat went crazy as people laughed.

[OMG, they dropped their pants!]

[What he said he was going to hang loose was what I think?!]

[Bro, that sensation LMAO]

[He was talking about letting his D… Hang loose!!!!!! LOOL]

I thought that would really be the part that people would react to the most, because I remember when I first saw that part in the original song, I thought it was really good.

When the song finally ended, I saw a lot of people asking to see it again, but I refused and finally started to do what I wanted with this stream.

“I’m glad you liked the music and the animation.” I started. “I was worried that it would be too different from the style I usually sing, so I thought that such a big change from this song to the other songs I’ve posted would displease people.”

[This isn’t really my style of music, but considering it was you singing it, I liked it].

[I loved it]

[Even though I don’t like such upbeat songs, the lyrics of this song with this video have something that makes me relax].

[Yeah, me too!]

I noticed that there was really a division among the audience, with a small part who didn’t really like it, a part who liked it because it was me singing, another part who liked the song even though they didn’t like the style, and the last part who just liked everything.

“I’m glad you liked it. I had fun playing around with different styles of music, so I started writing a new song, but the lyrics are also different from what I usually sing. Would you like to hear a preview of what I’ve got ready?” I offered, pretending to be spontaneous.

Of course, I had already asked Selena to copyright the song with my name on it, so it was only after I received proof that the song was mine that I had the courage to sing it, so as not to give people like Logan a chance to try to use my music to grow.

[Yeah, sing it please!]

[I’d love to hear you sing it live!]

[I’m curious!]

So I picked up the guitar next to me and started to play the rhythm of the song.

Since they couldn’t see me, I just let the camera film the computer screen with a gif I made of my character as I started to play.

(NunuNote: If you want to hear the song in the version I’m planning for Noah to sing, you can go on Discord and find the song in the Noah Songs tab or search for “Dove Cameron – Boyfriend┃Cover by Gun Boi Kaz” on YouTube).

This song wasn’t as upbeat as The Lazy Song, if I had to compare it to anything it would be closer to Numb. But the lyrics were the complete opposite of Numb.

While Numb focused on a song about a toxic relationship, the song Boyfriend that I was about to sing had the perspective of the person who would make the other person’s relationship toxic.

🎼🎶🎤

I can’t believe we’re finally alone…

I can’t believe, I almost went home…

What are the chances? Everyone’s dancing…

And he’s not with you…

🎼🎶🎤

[Hey, heyo, don’t tell me he’s going…]

[Woah, doesn’t BV sing sad songs?]

[In this song you want to make someone sad BV?!]

🎼🎶🎤

The universe must have divined this…

What am I gonna do? Not grab your wrist?

I could be a better boyfriend than him…

I could do the shit that he never did…

Up all night, I won’t quit…

Thinking I’m gonna steal you from him…

I could be such a gentleman…

Plus all my clothes would fit…

I could be a better boyfriend…

🎼🎶🎤

[WTF, are you stealing someone’s girlfriend?!]

[This song is just a display of perfection. i love your voice omg i love you. don’t stop what you’re doing. this is amazing!]

[I’m taking notes to say this to girls at parties…]

[This song is fireeeee!!!]

[This fits so well! Ahh..the deep voice and the lyrics!]

[You’re an asshole singing this… but it’s hard not to like it…]

Seeing people’s reactions, I was happy.

It was exactly what I wanted.

Boyfriend’ in my old world was a song that could make people love it and hate it.

People who liked it, liked it because they liked who was singing it and the fantasy of being flirted with by that person.

People are flawed, the forbidden is more attractive and that’s the feeling this song gives.

The possibility of being at a party where your boyfriend has left and hasn’t treated you well, and suddenly an attractive person you like comes along and tries to win you over.

Just imagining this scenario brings out something different in people.

The problem is that whether he likes it or not, the singer of the song is an asshole because he knows that person is his girlfriend and he’s still going to try to flirt with her.

But the people who are really bothered by it are those who have been through it recently, otherwise most people will like it because the song is good.

“I think you like it? The song isn’t finished yet, but I think you can get an idea of what it’s going to be like at this point”. I said, laughing as I continued to play the melody of the song on the guitar to provide background music while I talked to them.
