hey, the great gringo here and i'd like to talk about what twinking means to me and how important my journey in the world of twinking has been to me
a little backstory on myself, i'm a 23 year old male, 6'3, white, with quads made out of steel and biceps that can barely fit in my sleeves. people often tell me i'm the most beautiful and charmistmatic person they've ever come across and that I should consider modeling and getting into politics but I don't know, I'm still very undecided. I'm single, an atheist, a vegetarian and definitely only into heterosexual relationships. when i'm not playing basketball, water polo, working three full time jobs, volunteering at an animal shelter, studying for my PhD and maintaining a healthy social life then I like to spend my time twinking on world of warcraft classic in the 19s bracket.
my love for classic twinking started when I was introduced to a very popular streamer in the 19s bracket called dVerum. I quickly became obsessed with watching his streams and thought that it would be a great idea to start playing myself and finally meet him in game. after countless hours of looting chests, begging for dungeon boosts in stormwind, wasting my money on chinese gold farmers and realm transfers, on april 4th, a beautiful sunny Saturday morning, right after I had returned from a meeting with my multi billion dollar company's executives, I decided to enter the queue for Warsong Guch. that's when I met him, that's when I laid my eyes upon my idol and the only reason I had decided to get into twinking, Verum himself. while waiting for the game to start, I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash my face because of how hard I was blushing and then quickly returned to my 400 euro worth PC chair waiting for the game to finally start. the battleground was finally under way and verum quickly rushes to the enemy base and then picks up the enemy flag like he usually does but something seems off. while i'm giving it my all and struggling chasing the enemy flag carrier around trying to return the flag, verum is NOT making any moves at all on the map and instead he's just sitting AFK on the top of our base with the enemy flag. I instantly tune into his stream to see what's going on and I see him not even looking at the monitor while chugging a 3% alcohol beer. I was left shocked and without knowing how to react. how could this be happening to me? the player i've admired for so long is actually fucking terrible at the game, ruining the battleground for everyone and on top of that is an alcoholic?
I didn't want to believe it, I was so fucking mad and disappointed in him and in myself for having admired him for so long that tears were forming up in my eyes. I instantly got up from my chair and punched a hole in my wall. I was in fucking tears and was having a mental breakdown, I was ready to fucking explode and I know you guys think I might be joking but that was genuinely the angriest I had ever been in my entire life. I was praying to God that the last 4 months I had spent tuning into every single one of Verum's streams weren't a waste and that this game was a fucking joke played on me by Verum himself. I didn't want to accept the reality that Verum was actually an entirely useless and horrible player but after gathering my emotions and taking a deep breath, I finally typed /afk in game, logged out of the game, instantly cancelled my classic wow subscription, unfollowed and blocked Verum on all social media platforms and finally uninstalled both classic wow and battle net.
Anyways, this was just a glimpse of how important twinking in general is to me and how meaningful my journey getting into classic wow 19s twinking has been to me. I'd love it if more of you guys shared your experience playing this game as twinks, make sure to tag me so that I don't miss any of your stories!
