Two days ago my Dad told me about a smash (Super Smash Bros Ultimate, the video game) tournament for $10 near my home at a community center, but I realized between center membership and entry it was actually $30, but I found another one the same day for *actually* $10.
Now, I only very infrequently even play video games anymore, & only really the types of games that have an actual ending, cause other games like Smash or FPSs just make me feel miserable with my time. HOWEVER, I mentioned it to my friends while we were hanging out, and then I was cosmically imparted with the idea to roleplay as a fake person at the tournament.
Through some brainstorming and giggles, me and my friend (with a couple others as witness) came up with Svěska Kelfie, a Swedish, first-gen trans girl. I was now motivated to attend.
TOURNAMENT DAY
Strapped with an idea and a dream, I get dressed. With Svěska in mind, channeling her energy and her thought processes, I pull this outfit together.
(I actually love this outfit so much.. I just got this shirt from a flea market and had never tried it yet, and the skirt over the pants with it gives such a cool three-tiered look.. I will be wearing it more often, thank you Svěska)
THE TOURNAMENT
Ok this is where the floppage begins.. soo first thing when I walked in was this guy playing COD by himself in the corner, headphones on, like swearing and yelling at his teammates (this is a gaming internet "cafe" after all!). I walked by him and found the guy hosting the tournament and checked in (he looked exactly like a heavier Ian from Smosh)...
Then! This lovely other trans girl named Katie walked in and asked if I wanted to play friendlies, my first real interaction and chance to be Svěska! However. I got too nervous to do the accent and they were being so inviting and genuine that I felt bad lying about myself 
.. I did get to tell them my name was Svěska one time, but I didn't do an accent or say I was Swedish. There were these other guys that were just so quintessential gamer guy and so fun to listen to speak, it was like culture shock almost. They were also ranking the sexiness of Helluva Boss characters so there's that. ANYWAYS, I forgot that, since all of these people are gamers, they don't usually talk to new people more than they have to, and they all just introduce each other by gamertag and not by their actual names, so my plan was largely foiled.
and................... maybe I also got last place..
BUT.. y'know what.. I had a great time.. and played some lovely games.. met one lovely person.. had my first gaming tournament experience.. and isn't that all...worth something..? Maybe a first place prize? A little gift card..?
Svěska Kelfie, daughter to Böergus & Serveta, will get the spotlight & love she deserves one day.
My house got egged.. honestly it's kinda funny to me, like I'm inspired that they still carry forward the 80's traditions like that!
Those rich white boys on their motorbikes love two things:
1: Saying slurs with flippant joy, hate, and disregard
2: Never learning or experiencing genuine human empathy, open-minded love and a deep emotional intimacy with others or a drive for anything meaningful.
Anyways, my mom's boyfriend saw two more of the boys riding down the road (this is all at like 9pm btw) and chased them down the road, and when they slowed down a bit, he yelled at em from afar asking if they were egging houses and stuff. To this, they said "we don't even have any eggs"... and then said the general stuff like "weird grown-ass man chasing us bruh, we'll kill you" etc etc. kiiiiinda crazy guys .. anyone.. anyone..
(personally it doesn't hurt my feelings, like I genuinely don't care about anything they've called me, especially coming from someone like them, I'm more just worried about my/my family's safety since they've broken into a couple houses and clearly like picking fights, and am just dissapointed in this reminder of the lack of humanity & awareness of a lotta people. But oh well!)
