Akkalime - Artist / Streamer

On the night of the last day of 2022, I was watching a live-stream on Twitch.
The streamer was Akkalime, a Filipino artist / VTuber who drew and made live 2D models.
I like watching art live-stream by artists in general, and Akka is a really nice person and one of my favorite streamers, so I visit their live-stream as much as I can.

On their Twitch channel, there is a redeem called “Doodle” that makes them draw something by a request of a viewer.
I redeemed it and requested them to draw my Live 2D character.
This was the first time an artist except the illustrator of my character drew him, so I was really excited.
The redeem was called “Doodle”, so I expected a simple drawing.
I guess even if they had drawn a simple rough sketch in five minutes, I would have been impressed enough and happy.
However, they spent over an hour to draw my request, and of course the drawing was amazing.

I have been in a bad mood recently.
There are good things that I appreciate and I should feel happy, but there are also things that make me feel negative and they easily overshadow good things.
So, I thought my 2022 was going to end while I felt like shite.

However, because of Akka’s chill live-stream with Jazz music and their generosity and kindness to use artistic skills for me, mere one of the viewers, without hesitation, I could end my 2022 in a really good mood.
I got to like them more.
I fell asleep listening to them talking and missed the end of the live-stream though, lol.

Akkalime - Artist / Streamer

On the night of the last day ofNew Year's Eve 2022, I was watching a live-stream on Twitch.

Similar to 大晦日 in Japanese, you can say the last day of a year is "New Year's Eve."

The streamer was Akkalime, a Filipino artist / VTuber who drewaws and madekes live 2D models.

Since this VTuber is still doing this line of work, past-tense wouldn't fit here.

I like watching art live-stream by artists in general, and Akka is a really nice person and one of my favorite streamers, so I visit their live-stream as much as I can.

I like watching art live-streams by artists in general, and, combined with the fact that Akka is a really nice person and one of my favorite streamers, I visit their live-stream as much as I can.

The corrected sentence is fixed, but I personally think it is too long and clunky and would split it like so: "I like watching art live-streams by artists in general. And combined with the fact that Akka is a really nice person and one of my favorite streamers, I visit their live-stream as much as I can."

On their Twitch channel, there is a redeem called “Doodle” that makes themwhere they will draw something by a request of a viewer.

"Make" makes it seem forced (though it sort of is) so I softened the language this way. I am also not entirely sure, but I feel that "redeem" might not be the correct word. I don't go on Twitch, so I wouldn't know. But I think I would phrase it along the lines of "redeemable option by donation."

I redeemed it and requested for them to draw my Live 2D character.

This was the first time an artist exceptbesides the illustrator of my character drew him, so I was really excited.

The redeem was called “Doodle, so I expected a simple drawing.

Any punctuation that follows something in parantheses will always go inside the parentheses.

I guess even if they had drawn a simple rough sketch in five minutes, I would have been thoroughly impressed enough and happy.

I feel that this would be better word choice here.

However, they spent over an hour to draw my request, and, of course, the drawing was amazing.

I noticed that the other correction said to avoid using "however" in the start of sentences. But that simply isn't true. It is certainly taught this way in the American education system in my experience, but it is not true at all. Forcing yourself to confine to that 'rule' will sometimes ruin the flow and overall nuance that you originally wanted to convey.

More info here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/can-you-start-a-sentence-with-however#:~:text=However%20may%20be%20used%20to,stop%20worrying%20about%20using%20however.

There are surely many other conjunctions in English that have this idea of using them to start a sentence being no good. When you encounter any of those, I'd advise for you to do some research because many of them are surprisingly okay to use in that way.

I have been in a bad mood recently.

Both 'recently' and 'lately' are fine. I hear both 'recently' and 'lately' in the US. It's not a matter of fact of one being more used in the US. They do have slightly different meanings, however. I probably can't give a super thorough comparison here, but a quick google search will probably help. Here's a stack exchange post on the topic: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/32571/difference-between-recently-and-lately

There are good things that I appreciate and I should feel happy about, but there are also things that make me feel negative and they easily overshadow good thingseverything good.

So, I thought my 2022 was going to end while I felt like shite.

"Shite" is definitely more UK English. "Shit/crap" would be more American English.

HoweverIn the end, though, because of Akka's Jazz-filled chill live-stream with Jazz music andalong with their generosity and kindness to use their artistic skills for me, mere without hesitation, one of their mere viewers, without hesitation, I could end my 2022 in a really goodreat mood.

Changed the transition in the beginning since you already used 'however' before and 'good' to 'great' since you also used that two sentences before.

I gotrew to like them even more.

I fell asleep listening to them talking and missed the end of the live-stream though, lol.

I don't really watch streamers all too much, but it seems like you found a gem of an individual! Also, I'm not sure if you're using the pronoun "they" for the reason of "they" being an all gender-inclusive pronoun, but if you are sure of the person's gender then use "he/she."

Thank you so much for the corrections and the very detailed notes! I'll check the links later!

>you found a gem of an individual...
True. I had followed them on Twitter for a while because their art is high quality , and they started live-streaming, so there was no choice but visiting them!

About their pronoun, I think they are biologically female considering their voice. When someone asked them their pronoun, they answered that they are fine with all of them, he/she/they, so I use "they" in this post.

You mean New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2022), right?

"To request that ..." We don't often use a direct object with it because it's often implied or inferred.
