Buffpup Insists Nothing Is Wrong at Camp on Friday the 13th as Chat Reports the Dead

INDEPENDENT — Buffpup, an independent streamer on Twitch, spent Friday the 13th playing the camp counselor who refuses to see anything wrong. Chat arrived in character, and the stream opened with viewers calling out for Pamela Voorhees and fretting that Jason was near the cabins.

As chat reported more dead pups, “turned inside out somehow,” in the words of one message she read aloud, Buffpup answered that nothing like that was happening. “There’s nothing bad on this mountain,” she said. She told chat she was in tip-top condition, that she had only had to fight her way up to camp and that nothing bad had happened. When a message said a man named Jason was standing by the lake, she said she did not think any scary entities lived on the mountain. The stream was billed with a new model, and she greeted the campers with a “good morning” as the gag ran on.

Much of the talk looked back at Club Ironmouse, the concert held the night before, where Buffpup took part in the pre-show. She thanked chat for the praise and said she was proud of Shia, who appeared on the main stage with Ironmouse, and of Boone, whose performance she called a mess in a fun way. She said she hoped she had not been too cringey and hoped to be invited back. Reading a long message from a viewer who praised her growth as a singer, she thanked them and said it was sweet. She also pulled up pictures and clips from the show, including footage of Ironmouse’s model on stage, and chat answered with applause emotes and asked for the album on streaming services.

Later she moved to lighter talk: the early dark of November, with sunset at about 5:30 where she lives, and an antique-store mood she said she loved. She joked about a warning label that said to keep a product out of reach of children, which she said usually meant it kills children. Chat swapped sunset times from their own cities.

She closed the stream as Twitch’s choppy video frame rate became the chat’s running joke, with viewers chanting about the lag and joking that the real fear was the frames lost along the way. A song played as the stream wound down. Buffpup then said goodbye and sent viewers off on a raid, to chat’s cheers.
