Why I Built the Truemoon Collective

I wanted more than a channel. I wanted a home for every version of me and a place to share my thoughts other than on a Twitch channel.

I didn’t start streaming with some big plan. Honestly, I started gaming online during lockdown because I needed a way to connect and disconnect at the same time. The world felt heavy and isolating, and playing games gave me a place to breathe.

When I first went live on Twitch in 2021, I was under a different name. Back then, I thought I had to perform a version of myself that felt safe. I wasn’t ready to show the world who I really was. But after a while, it became too heavy to keep hiding.

That’s when Weylyn was born. I realised I could be unapologetically myself: furry, pup, chaotic, caring, all at once. Stepping into that space and saying “this is me” was one of the scariest and most freeing things I’ve ever done. And people showed up. Not because I was pretending to be polished or perfect, but because I was just… me.

But the truth is, life didn’t stay easy after that. I’ve had breakdowns. I’ve spiraled. I’ve had to face the parts of myself that felt broken and unworthy. And yet, those hard moments taught me something: every side of me deserves to belong.

That’s why I built the Truemoon Collective.

This isn’t just a website. It’s the space where all of me lives: Weylyn, the Alpha of Chaos who thrives in community; Rune, the softer side who holds space for reflection; WYKRU, the mysterious rider who embodies freedom and shadow; and Wicky, the creator behind it all, pulling the strings and telling the stories.

I don’t want to live split into parts anymore. I want to show that you can be chaotic and calm. You can be silly and serious. You can be protective and vulnerable. You can be all of it, and still be whole.

This blog is part of that vision. Sometimes you’ll find deep reflections here about mental health, ADHD, and the Truemoon Code. Sometimes you’ll find updates on projects or just messy little notes from my day. It won’t always be neat, but it will always be honest.

If you’re here, you’re part of the pack. So welcome under the Truemoon. Let’s see where this goes.
