niki is barely mentioned, i'm sorry ! i'm working on another niki oneshot bc i love her ! it'll come out sometime this week !! (:

New to town with a made up name in the angel's city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes
Make it look like a dream.

ever since y/n was a child, they knew their dream was to be a streamer. they spent their life watching different streamers and played a bunch of games, trying to improve so they'll look good when they actually starts. they wanted to be like their idol, nihachu.

You had it figured out since you were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So overnight you look like a sixties' queen

y/n also knew if they wanted to make it, especially in a female body, people, males, would expect them to look 'pretty'. it's how it is, how society work. y/n would wear makeup and do their hair before starting the stream.

Another name goes up in lights,
Like diamonds in the sky
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
But can you tell me now, you're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh...

they started skyrocketing as the viewers count went higher and higher. they started gaining fans, and they loved it. they loved being able to make people's day, being able to do what they loved. it was amazing.

Now it's big black cars, and Riviera views
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

with the fame, also come money. people would pay her every time they streamed, and soon, they was able to be lucky enough to not worry about money. is this what heaven feel like?

And they tell you that you're lucky
But you're so confused,
'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used.
And all the young things line up to take your place

but with every good thing, come bad. people started to use them for fame, for money. they didn't know who their real friends was anymore. and people would constantly call them pretty, but are they? they didn't like themself in makeup, with their hair all curled up. it wasn't them.

Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out alive
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one.
Can you tell me now, you're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh.

the hate comments and the cancel culture sucks ass. people would go through their past to find mistakes then cancel them and send death threats. their mental health started to decline, and the initial happiness they felt now turned to depression. it'll be a shock if they made it out alive

It was a few years later
I showed up here
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
How you took the money and your dignity
And got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square
And it took some time, but I understand it now

a few months later, they was invited to twitch con, where they was able to interact with other twitch streamers. they began to talk about niki, who had stop streaming as soon as she made enough to survive on her own. y/n was upset when niki left, but now they understand. they want to quit soon as well.

'Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right,
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh.

y/n was one of the well known streamer. their name was everywhere on the internet. they felt the pressure, but they couldn't tell anyone. they was 'lucky' to get their dreams. they shouldn't complain.

Yeah they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh

they eventually made enough to quit as well, and they left social media. people would wonder where they went, but little did they know, they was with niki. yeah, they're a lucky one.
