rested under our elbow,

178
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:37,248
and we're gonna go like this.

179
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:38,916
Christmas.

180
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,209
Christmas.

181
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,045
A good way to remember this
is it's a whole day.

182
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:44,046
It's a whole day.

183
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,591
So here's the sun rising.

184
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:47,717
Christmas morning.

185
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,887
And then it sets again,
and Christmas is over.

186
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:53,764
You're gonna be
having open hands,

187
00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:58,436
and then you're gonna be going
in that shape of the menorah,

188
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,229
with those eight candles.

189
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,564
Cold.

190
00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:02,940
Brr.

191
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:04,066
If you're all cold,
what are you doing?

192
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:05,151
You're shivering.

193
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:06,986
Brr.

194
00:08:07,069 --> 00:08:09,071
Oh, my gosh,
it's cold.

195
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,866
In real life, you'd be showing
with your expressions.

196
00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:14,368
If it's really cold,
you're like...[gasping].

197
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:16,871
You're sucking in your teeth.
Ooh!

198
00:08:16,954 --> 00:08:19,540
You're gonna show that
with your face, right?

199
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:21,209
Or maybe
you're shaking even more.

200
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:22,251
You're crouching down.

201
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,545
"Ah, it's so cold!"

202
00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:25,922
Right?

203
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,842
The most important part
of Christmas

204
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:32,011
or any other winter holiday.

205
00:08:32,094 --> 00:08:33,471
It's not about the presents.

206
00:08:33,554 --> 00:08:35,598
It's not about the stress.

207
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,308
It's not about the finals.

208
00:08:37,391 --> 00:08:39,977
It's about family,
and we're gonna make sure

209
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:43,272
that we're gonna be
spreading that love, right?

210
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:45,399
I know
that this year is very hard.

211
00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:47,735
2020 has been kind of crazy.

212
00:08:47,818 --> 00:08:50,738
Right now, it might be
a very stressful time

213
00:08:50,821 --> 00:08:52,114
for a lot of you guys,

214
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:53,115
but I want you to know,

215
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:56,869
even if you can't see
your real-life family,

216
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:59,080
you have a family here, okay?

217
00:08:59,163 --> 00:09:02,708
And I really want you guys
to take away from this lesson

218
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:05,962
that we are a family here.

219
00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:08,089
Cheese!

220
00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:11,926
This one.

221
00:09:12,009 --> 00:09:14,845
So she loves french fries.

222
00:09:14,929 --> 00:09:16,931
Like always, she's eating them.

223
00:09:17,014 --> 00:09:18,182
Whenever we do video calls,

224
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:21,727
she's always eating
french fries, like, constantly.

225
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:24,230
And she also loves Starbucks,

226
00:09:24,313 --> 00:09:26,274
and so,
she added the two of those.

227
00:09:26,357 --> 00:09:27,900
I think it's so funny
because, like,

228
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:31,570
if I think of Nikki, I think
of french fries and Starbucks.

229
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:33,614
[laughs]
Like, that's her.

230
00:09:33,698 --> 00:09:34,824
It's kind of hard to see,

231
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:39,453
but this is actually a picture
of this person's panties.

232
00:09:39,537 --> 00:09:40,579
It's Dummy, and, like,

233
00:09:40,663 --> 00:09:43,499
there's just this old photo,

234
00:09:43,582 --> 00:09:46,460
and then taken a photo
of his skirt being lifted up.

235
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:48,296
And they're like,
yeah, there you go.

236
00:09:48,379 --> 00:09:50,047
There's your locker.

237
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:51,674
It makes no sense,
and I love it.

238
00:09:51,757 --> 00:09:53,217
[giggles]

239
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:56,304
<i>[bird chirping]</i>

240
00:10:05,604 --> 00:10:07,106
<i>So for me, personally,</i>

241
00:10:07,189 --> 00:10:09,025
<i>I have a few different stuff</i>
<i>going on.</i>

242
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,320
<i>I have something that's called</i>
<i>auditory processing disorder,</i>

243
00:10:12,403 --> 00:10:14,113
and what that means is

244
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:16,324
if there's
tons of sounds going on--

245
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:18,034
like three people
talking at once,

246
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:21,537
and there's music
or loud noises--

247
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:23,706
my brain just can't process it,

248
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:27,710
and it ends up sounding
like a broken radio.

249
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,587
You know,
sound comes in waves,

250
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:30,880
and it's supposed
to hit your eardrum,

251
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:32,214
and it vibrates,

252
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,342
but for me,
it just comes in,

253
00:10:34,425 --> 00:10:36,719
and my right eardrum
does not vibrate.

254
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:41,057
So it creates sort of like an
echo chamber in my inner ear,

255
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,559
<i>and it could be</i>
<i>actually pretty painful.</i>

256
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:49,023
So I am a teacher
for Helping Hands.

257
00:10:49,106 --> 00:10:52,068
Helping Hands is
a sign language community

258
00:10:52,151 --> 00:10:53,694
here in VRChat.

259
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:56,364
<i>We have a lot</i>
<i>of deaf members,</i>

260
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,574
<i>but it's not just</i>
<i>for deaf people.</i>

261
00:10:58,657 --> 00:11:02,536
<i>And it was established,</i>
<i>like, late 2018.</i>

262
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:05,915
Our goal is to
not only educate people

263
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:09,085
about sign language
and the deaf community

264
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,587
but also just
to create an environment

265
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:13,923
<i>where people can have fun,</i>
<i>make friends.</i>

266
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:18,219
<i>And nowadays,</i>
<i>we have about 2,000 members.</i>

267
00:11:18,302 --> 00:11:22,139
<i>Each of our classes can hold</i>
<i>up to 60 people at times,</i>

268
00:11:22,223 --> 00:11:23,599
<i>which is an insane amount.</i>

269
00:11:23,682 --> 00:11:25,768
<i>We have a class</i>
<i>every single day of the week</i>

270
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:29,313
<i>for five different</i>
<i>sign languages.</i>

271
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:31,732
So this is one
of our other classroom worlds

272
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:33,734
that we have here
in Helping Hands.

273
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:36,070
We actually have
several different worlds

274
00:11:36,153 --> 00:11:37,863
for teaching ASL

275
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:39,532
and all
of our other sign languages

276
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:41,242
for their respective teachers.

277
00:11:41,325 --> 00:11:44,662
And this world is primarily
used here by my friend Ray.

278
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:47,248
Do you want
to introduce yourself?

279
00:11:47,331 --> 00:11:48,624
[interpreting]
Hello, everyone.

280
00:11:48,707 --> 00:11:50,126
How are you?

281
00:11:50,209 --> 00:11:52,670
I'm good.

282
00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:55,923
I'm very happy
to see you all again.

283
00:11:57,425 --> 00:12:01,470
So I am a fully deaf person,

284
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:06,308
and I have been teaching here
for a very long time--

285
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,310
since 2018.

286
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,938
And that's pretty much
about me.

287
00:12:11,021 --> 00:12:12,982
I love helping out
everyone here

288
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:14,483
and seeing them learn
and grow.

289
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,485
That's all.

290
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:18,946
[speaking as self]
<i>It was really hard for me</i>

291
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:21,240
<i>to sign in VR</i>

292
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:22,616
<i>because I've never</i>
<i>done it before,</i>

293
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,493
<i>and it was</i>
<i>a very big transition.</i>

294
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:25,536
<i>But Ray,</i>

295
00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:28,664
<i>he was just so patient</i>
<i>and understanding.</i>

296
00:12:28,747 --> 00:12:30,791
<i>And he literally</i>
<i>just sat there with me</i>

297
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:33,377
<i>and wrote words all over</i>

298
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:35,045
<i>and just sat there.</i>

299
00:12:35,129 --> 00:12:38,340
<i>And we signed together</i>
<i>each and every single word,</i>

300
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,302
<i>just learning</i>
<i>how to adapt into VR.</i>

301
00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:44,555
<i>And it was</i>
<i>such a beautiful experience,</i>

302
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:48,184
<i>just seeing his kindness</i>
<i>and patience.</i>

303
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,395
<i>And, you know, I started</i>
<i>getting close to him.</i>

304
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:54,315
<i>And then, he introduced me</i>
<i>to other members</i>

305
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:56,650
<i>until it is where it is today.</i>

306
00:12:56,734 --> 00:12:59,862
And, like, Ray is still
a really big part of my life,

307
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:03,657

were there at the beginning.

I slide a lot on my knees.

You know,
I don't bring it to VR,

704

706
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,269
I'm able to enjoy time

707
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:15,522
And yeah,
it's one of those things

708
00:30:15,605 --> 00:30:17,190
that I'm very thankful with.

709
00:30:17,273 --> 00:30:21,236
So yeah, VRChat is a very,
very big part of my life.

710
00:30:21,945 --> 00:30:25,031
- Yeah, I would say,
for me, especially,

711
00:30:25,114 --> 00:30:26,699
it was more of an escape.

712
00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:29,536
When I first discovered VRChat,

713
00:30:29,619 --> 00:30:32,705
I was in a very dark place
in my life.

714
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,582
I'd just lost,

715
00:30:34,666 --> 00:30:39,254
like, someone who was
very, very important to me.

716
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:41,965
So I saw VRChat,
and I was like,

717
00:30:42,048 --> 00:30:44,092
I can't be myself in real life,

718
00:30:44,175 --> 00:30:47,303
so I'll just be myself
in VRChat,

719
00:30:47,387 --> 00:30:50,098
which was very refreshing
to me

720
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:52,892
that I can jump on,
and no one knew what...

721
00:30:52,976 --> 00:30:55,103
Like, when you lose someone
in real life,

722
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:57,438
everyone's like,
"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss,"

723
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:02,026
and, like, they compare you
to the death, basically.

724
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:04,779
In VRChat, no one knew
that my family died,

725
00:31:04,862 --> 00:31:07,282
or no one knew
that anything happened.

726
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:12,704
So I just got to forget,
in a sense, that that happened,

727
00:31:12,787 --> 00:31:15,415
and then I have fun in VRChat.

728
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:21,796

730

I was very much an alcoholic,

in real life.

735
00:31:38,104 --> 00:31:39,606
So there was a situation

736
00:31:39,689 --> 00:31:43,610
where I had to go to hospital
about it,

737
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:47,238
and from that day on,
I was like, I can't do this.

738
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,782
I can't drink anymore
and stuff like that,

739

didn't feel the need to drink.

00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:24,383
is sometimes
what saves people's lives

1038
00:47:24,466 --> 00:47:28,303
or what gets them up out of bed
in the morning, you know?

1039
00:47:28,387 --> 00:47:29,596
- I won.
- No, you did not.

1040
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,099
- And I was like...
- Yeah.

1041
00:47:32,182 --> 00:47:34,059
- You're so weak.
- It's okay.

1042
00:47:34,142 --> 00:47:35,269
- I am not!

1043
00:47:35,352 --> 00:47:36,728
- Zap.

1044
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:38,730
- Zop.
- Zip.

1045
00:47:38,814 --> 00:47:40,065
- Zap.

1046
00:47:40,148 --> 00:47:42,442
- Zop.
- Zip.

1047
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:43,610
- Zap.

1048
00:47:43,694 --> 00:47:46,738
Don't forget:
energy, expression, emotion.

1049
00:47:46,822 --> 00:47:48,240
Exaggerate it.

1050
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:50,200
- [exclaims]

1051
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:52,536
- You know,
"Oh, my God!"

1052
00:47:52,619 --> 00:47:54,913
Really,
but commit to it, guys.

1053
00:47:54,997 --> 00:47:55,872
- Yeah.
- Okay, here we go.

1054
00:47:55,956 --> 00:47:56,873
Hands in.
Let's go.

1055
00:47:56,957 --> 00:47:58,250
One, two, three, improv.

1056
00:47:58,333 --> 00:48:01,003
One, two, three.

1057
00:48:01,086 --> 00:48:03,338
all: Improv!

1058
00:48:03,422 --> 00:48:05,048
- Let's go!

live improv show in VRChat.

1061

00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:17,477
Yeah?
All right.

1064
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:20,230
Hell yeah, let's do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1065
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:21,231
I'm Goblox.

1066
00:48:21,315 --> 00:48:23,775
I will be your host
for the evening.

1067
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:25,611
- For professional chicken--

1068
00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:27,779
what the hell is it?

1069
00:48:27,863 --> 00:48:30,449
- Interpretative
chicken dancer.

1070
00:48:30,532 --> 00:48:32,951
- Interpretive chicken dancer.

1071
00:48:33,035 --> 00:48:34,286
I imagine that's going

1072
00:48:34,369 --> 00:48:37,664
to have a whole wide range
of requirement,

1073
00:48:37,748 --> 00:48:39,249
so I'm very much
looking forward

1074
00:48:39,333 --> 00:48:42,169
to seeing what it takes to be
an interpretive chicken dancer.

1075
00:48:42,252 --> 00:48:45,005
Zircron, take it away.

1076
00:48:45,088 --> 00:48:46,173
- Mm!

1077
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:48,967
[tapping rhythmically]

1078
00:48:49,051 --> 00:48:50,719
Bawk.

1079
00:48:50,802 --> 00:48:52,346
Now, I'm gonna give you
a dance sequence,

1080
00:48:52,429 --> 00:48:56,308
and I'm gonna let you tell me
what you think of it, okay?

1081
00:48:59,436 --> 00:49:02,356
[laughter]

1082
00:49:06,568 --> 00:49:09,571
- [grunting]

1083
00:49:12,115 --> 00:49:13,659
Thank you for having me.

1084
00:49:13,742 --> 00:49:15,243
[laughter]

1085
00:49:15,327 --> 00:49:18,205
<i>- Only two months</i>
<i>into our relationship,</i>

1086
00:49:18,288 --> 00:49:22,209
<i>Toaster came to fly out to me.</i>

1087
00:49:22,292 --> 00:49:25,379
<i>But of course, we knew when</i>
<i>he was gonna come visit me,</i>

1088
00:49:25,462 --> 00:49:30,133
<i>and we went</i>
<i>to a airport world...</i>

1089
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:34,513
<i>And reenacted</i>

1090
00:49:34,596 --> 00:49:37,849
<i>what we think it might be like</i>
<i>to meet up in real life,</i>

1091
00:49:37,933 --> 00:49:40,560
<i>like, what we're gonna do</i>
<i>when we see each other.</i>

1092
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:43,188
<i>We pretended that</i>
<i>he'd come out of the airport</i>

1093
00:49:43,271 --> 00:49:44,856
<i>and then I'm like over there</i>

1094
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:46,775
<i>like, you know,</i>
<i>like, super excited.</i>

1095
00:49:46,858 --> 00:49:49,361
<i>And then, we'd give</i>
<i>a big ol' hug and stuff.</i>

1096
00:49:50,904 --> 00:49:53,073
- The feeling I had
when I landed--

1097
00:49:53,156 --> 00:49:54,366
that last plane,

1098
00:49:54,449 --> 00:49:57,911
and it was dark,
and I was in her town--

1099
00:49:57,994 --> 00:49:59,371
<i>I was just like...</i>

1100
00:49:59,454 --> 00:50:01,123
<i>[breathing heavily]</i>

1101
00:50:01,206 --> 00:50:03,625
<i>I had to remember</i>
<i>to breathe, literally,</i>

1102
00:50:03,709 --> 00:50:05,043
<i>'cause I felt,</i>
<i>like, lightheaded.</i>

1103
00:50:05,127 --> 00:50:07,421
<i>I was so nervous.</i>

1104
00:50:07,504 --> 00:50:08,922
<i>And we're on the phone,</i>
<i>and I'm walking out,</i>

1105
00:50:09,005 --> 00:50:10,716
<i>and she's like, "Come here.</i>
<i>Come to this one,"</i>

1106
00:50:10,799 --> 00:50:13,176
<i>you know, like 7B</i>
<i>or something like that.</i>

1107
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:14,219
<i>So I start walking.</i>

1108
00:50:14,302 --> 00:50:15,887
<i>And then, she's like,</i>
<i>"Oh, God, I see you,"</i>

1109
00:50:15,971 --> 00:50:16,930
<i>and then hangs up.</i>

1110
00:50:17,013 --> 00:50:18,598
<i>And I'm like, oh, no!</i>

1111
00:50:18,682 --> 00:50:19,933
And then, I just hear...

1112
00:50:20,016 --> 00:50:21,435
[running footsteps]

1113
00:50:21,518 --> 00:50:23,311
[laughter]
In the parking lot.

1114
00:50:23,395 --> 00:50:25,397
And she tries to run
behind the pillar,

1115
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,234
but all I see is this goofball
running across the parking lot

1116
00:50:29,317 --> 00:50:31,737
in this beautiful red dress,

1117
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:33,947
and my heart sank

1118
00:50:34,030 --> 00:50:37,284
'cause I was like,
that's definitely her.

1119
00:50:37,367 --> 00:50:41,163
Nobody would be
as goofy as that.

1120
00:50:41,246 --> 00:50:43,248
- Wearing a red dress.
[laughs]

1121
00:50:43,331 --> 00:50:46,752
<i>- Wearing a red dress,</i>
<i>like, just beautiful</i>

1122
00:50:46,835 --> 00:50:50,630
<i>but just running behind</i>
<i>a pillar in the parking lot.</i>

1123
00:50:52,048 --> 00:50:53,425
<i>That was the only time.</i>
<i>- Yeah.</i>

1124
00:50:53,508 --> 00:50:57,512
- And I stayed there
for two weeks.

1125
00:50:57,596 --> 00:50:59,806
And then I had
to go back, sadly.

1126
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:03,894
And with COVID, she's not
even allowed to come here.

1127
00:51:03,977 --> 00:51:05,896
Like, my country
will not let her in.

1128
00:51:05,979 --> 00:51:07,939
Nobody's allowed in.

1129
00:51:08,023 --> 00:51:09,858
We're the only ones
allowed out,

1130
00:51:09,941 --> 00:51:13,320
and even coming back is iffy,

1131
00:51:13,403 --> 00:51:15,155
so it's really tough right now.

1132
00:51:15,238 --> 00:51:18,575
So with
a long-distance relationship,

1133
00:51:18,658 --> 00:51:21,620
having VR is a gamechanger.

1134
00:51:21,703 --> 00:51:24,414
<i>I don't think</i>
<i>we'd be as close as we are,</i>

1135
00:51:24,498 --> 00:51:28,001
<i>and I don't think</i>
<i>we would have gotten as close.</i>

1136
00:51:28,084 --> 00:51:32,047
<i>I don't know if we'd even</i>
<i>have hit it off like we did</i>

1137
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:34,800
<i>because I would act</i>
<i>a different way.</i>

1138
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:37,636
<i>She probably acts</i>
<i>a different way</i>

1139
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,847
<i>to, like, someone new</i>
<i>that you meet, you know?</i>

1140
00:51:40,931 --> 00:51:45,352
Now that our feelings, you
know, are very, very surefire

1141
00:51:45,435 --> 00:51:47,312
and I know that I love her

1142
00:51:47,395 --> 00:51:51,191
and I know that I want to,
you know, keep being with her

1143
00:51:51,274 --> 00:51:54,486
and making this work
and eventually, you know,

1144
00:51:54,569 --> 00:51:58,114
not have to rely on VR one day.

1145
00:51:58,198 --> 00:52:00,659
100% in the future,

1146
00:52:00,742 --> 00:52:02,452
as soon as it's available,

1147
00:52:02,536 --> 00:52:05,580
I'm going to her,
she's coming to me.

1148
00:52:05,664 --> 00:52:08,875
I miss her more than anything.
- No way around it.

1149
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:10,961
- Yeah, you know,
just after two weeks,

1150
00:52:11,044 --> 00:52:12,337
you know,
I know I belong with her.

1151
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:16,716
I need to have her in my life,

1152
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,260
more than just VR.

00:55:01,631 --> 00:55:03,591
I have a feeling
you will like it.

1206
00:55:03,675 --> 00:55:06,886
And you're just
very appreciative.

1207
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:10,890
Anything I do,
anything I say,

1208
00:55:10,974 --> 00:55:12,851
you put it on a pedestal.

1209
00:55:12,934 --> 00:55:14,561
You're like,
"Thank you so much."

1210
00:55:14,644 --> 00:55:18,398
Like, honestly it means
the absolute world to me,

1211
00:55:18,481 --> 00:55:22,986
and I'm so happy that
I'm your go-to avatar creator.

1212
00:55:23,069 --> 00:55:24,362
But--sorry.

1213
00:55:24,446 --> 00:55:26,364
- You're gonna make me cry
just for that.

1214
00:55:26,448 --> 00:55:30,076
[laughter]

1215
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,871
Oh, no.
- We're in for a treat today.

1216
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:35,081
- I'm about to cry
just to that.

1217
00:55:36,332 --> 00:55:37,250
All right.
- All right.

1218
00:55:37,333 --> 00:55:39,085
- Hello?

1219
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:41,004
- You all good?
- I'm--I'm good.

1220
00:55:41,087 --> 00:55:42,422
I'm good.
- We're walking?

1221
00:55:42,505 --> 00:55:44,758
Yeah, we're walking.

1222
00:55:44,841 --> 00:55:47,010
Whoo!

1223
00:55:47,093 --> 00:55:48,511
[chuckles]

1224
00:55:48,595 --> 00:55:51,264
- I'm nervous.
I'm scared.

1225
00:55:51,347 --> 00:55:53,016
- You should be.
- All right, all right.

1226
00:55:53,099 --> 00:55:54,642
All right, we're gonna look.
- Yeah?

1227
00:55:54,726 --> 00:55:56,603
- In three, two...

1228
00:55:56,686 --> 00:55:58,271
- Come a little bit forward.
No, come here.

1229
00:55:58,354 --> 00:56:00,440
Forward a little bit.
Keep coming forward.

1230
00:56:00,523 --> 00:56:01,900
In the middle, in the middle.
- All right.

1231
00:56:01,983 --> 00:56:03,234
- There we go.
- All right.

1232
00:56:03,318 --> 00:56:04,486
- You ready?
- I'll look forward.

1233
00:56:04,569 --> 00:56:08,698
In one, two, three.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

1234
00:56:08,782 --> 00:56:10,533
- [gasps]

1235
00:56:10,617 --> 00:56:12,702
- Ooh.

1236
00:56:12,786 --> 00:56:15,705
[laughter]

1237
00:56:15,789 --> 00:56:18,249
- [sobbing]

1238
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:21,294
- I told you.
I told you.

1239
00:56:24,297 --> 00:56:25,840
- Give me a second.

1240
00:56:25,924 --> 00:56:28,676
- Like
you've never seen before.

1241
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,513
- Take it all in,
every feature.

1242
00:56:31,596 --> 00:56:33,973
- And you wanted
blue eyes.

1243
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:35,975
I love blue eyes.
- Yeah, I changed it up.

1244
00:56:36,059 --> 00:56:37,769
I bumped into them.

1245
00:56:37,852 --> 00:56:40,814
- Head up, and then...

1246
00:56:40,897 --> 00:56:43,274
And then, spin.
- Yas, queen.

1247
00:56:43,358 --> 00:56:44,484
Spin it.

1248
00:56:44,567 --> 00:56:47,862
This is like a total,
like, new model for you.

1249
00:56:47,946 --> 00:56:50,448
- Yeah, this is like
completely different,

1250
00:56:50,532 --> 00:56:52,283
even the base, the head--

1251
00:56:52,367 --> 00:56:56,830
the only thing that stayed
the same was the horns.

1252
00:56:56,913 --> 00:56:59,249
- Yeah, which of course,
you're gotta get the tail,

1253
00:56:59,332 --> 00:57:01,126
but I didn't want to put it
on this model.

1254
00:57:01,209 --> 00:57:03,253
There was no way I was
gonna be able to work out

1255
00:57:03,336 --> 00:57:05,839
how to do a tail with a dress.

1256
00:57:05,922 --> 00:57:08,675
I was like, I have to leave it.
- Yeah.

1257
00:57:08,758 --> 00:57:12,178
- We tested her out
in the world as well.

1258
00:57:12,262 --> 00:57:16,724
She matches beautifully,
so you'll be perfect.

1259
00:57:16,808 --> 00:57:20,687
She's ready to go when you are.

1260
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:25,525
- And then, in the middle,
is a hot dog.

1261
00:57:25,608 --> 00:57:28,194
- I have never tried
a croissant hot dog.

1262
00:57:28,278 --> 00:57:30,321
Oh, oh.

1263
00:57:30,405 --> 00:57:32,157
We're ready.
- We're going.

1264
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,159
<i>[birds chirping]</i>

1265
00:57:36,452 --> 00:57:38,246
<i>- Oh, I think it's supposed</i>
<i>to be, like, a blackboard,</i>

1266
00:57:38,329 --> 00:57:40,331
so you can grab the ends
and stuff right there.

1267
00:57:40,415 --> 00:57:43,710
- I did this, ASL,
and then the assistive lessons.

1268
00:57:43,793 --> 00:57:45,920
- Okay, thank you.
Thank you.

1269
00:57:46,004 --> 00:57:47,922
I appreciate it, you guys.

1270
00:57:48,006 --> 00:57:50,258
[laughs]

1271
00:57:50,341 --> 00:57:55,305
I know it's, uh,
awkward and weird.

1272
00:57:55,388 --> 00:57:57,390
This is my first time
teaching here.

1273
00:57:57,473 --> 00:58:01,769
I'm trying my best
being a sub for Ray,

1274
00:58:01,853 --> 00:58:04,439
so bear with me, okay?

1275
00:58:06,232 --> 00:58:09,068
Next sign,
there's two signs for this.

1276
00:58:09,152 --> 00:58:10,653
You could either
sign it like this.

1277
00:58:10,737 --> 00:58:13,031
You point to your head--
point to your head--

1278
00:58:13,114 --> 00:58:15,200
and you pull the thought
out of your head

1279
00:58:15,283 --> 00:58:18,328
and you mix it all up,
'cause you're confused.

1280
00:58:18,411 --> 00:58:20,705
You pull that thought out
of your head, and you mix it.

1281
00:58:20,788 --> 00:58:21,706
You're all confused.

1282
00:58:21,789 --> 00:58:24,709
You get all your thoughts
all jumbled.

1283
00:58:24,792 --> 00:58:26,377
Cry.

1284
00:58:26,461 --> 00:58:29,130
Cry, cry, cry, cry.

1285
00:58:29,214 --> 00:58:32,759
Show your tears,
or if you're really crying.

1286
00:58:32,842 --> 00:58:35,470
"Oh, I'm crying a lot."
Crying.

1287
00:58:35,553 --> 00:58:39,974
This is tons and tons of tears,
or just a little bit of tears.

1288
00:58:40,058 --> 00:58:41,643
Cry, cry, cry.

1289
00:58:41,726 --> 00:58:44,562
Cry, cry, cry.

1290
00:58:44,646 --> 00:58:46,314
Okay.
How do I pronounce your name?

1291
00:58:46,397 --> 00:58:47,732
TheThirdR?

1292
00:58:49,651 --> 00:58:50,568
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

1293
00:58:50,652 --> 00:58:53,613
- Hello.
- Hello!

1294
00:58:53,696 --> 00:58:57,033
- How do I sign "similar"?

1295
00:58:57,116 --> 00:58:59,410
- Mm.
Mm, that's a good question.

1296
00:58:59,494 --> 00:59:03,248
So same,
the sign for same is like this.

1297
00:59:03,331 --> 00:59:05,083
You have a "Y" hand.
You're showing same.

1298
00:59:05,166 --> 00:59:07,126
So you're connecting.

1299
00:59:07,210 --> 00:59:08,628
But if you want to say
they're kind of--

1300
00:59:08,711 --> 00:59:10,630
you can say they're the same,
they're similar,

1301
00:59:10,713 --> 00:59:11,631
or you could use this.

1302
00:59:11,714 --> 00:59:14,634
This means "also."

1303
00:59:14,717 --> 00:59:16,302
Does that make sense?
Yeah, they're separate.

1304
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:19,138
Separate, yeah.
- Thank you.

1305
00:59:19,222 --> 00:59:21,015
- You don't have
to go over all of them,

1306
00:59:21,099 --> 00:59:24,352
but like different signs
for, like, sexual orientation.

1307
00:59:24,435 --> 00:59:26,980
So, like, bisexual.
- Oh, like queer signs?

1308
00:59:27,063 --> 00:59:28,106
- Yeah, like queer signs.

1309
00:59:28,189 --> 00:59:30,984
Yeah, like, in your class,
or just, like--

1310
00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:33,278
- Yeah, I could do
a quick one real quick.

1311
00:59:33,361 --> 00:59:34,654
Sure, yeah.
- Thanks.

1312
00:59:34,737 --> 00:59:35,947
- We'll just go
through a few.

1313
00:59:36,030 --> 00:59:38,616
Yeah, well, one--one
that's good to know is "queer."

1314
00:59:38,700 --> 00:59:40,118
It's literally a rainbow.

1315
00:59:40,201 --> 00:59:42,245
Rainbow.

1316
00:59:42,328 --> 00:59:43,288
Rainbow.

1317
00:59:43,371 --> 00:59:44,622
That's how you sign
rainbow or queer.

1318
00:59:44,706 --> 00:59:46,082
Queer.

1319
00:59:46,165 --> 00:59:50,003
And then one of my favorite
signs overall is this sign.

1320
00:59:50,086 --> 00:59:52,422
And this sign means trans.

1321
00:59:52,505 --> 00:59:54,299
And the reason why
I love it so much

1322
00:59:54,382 --> 00:59:58,219
is it means beautiful heart
and change of heart.

1323
00:59:58,303 --> 01:00:01,556
So instead of signing
beautiful--beautiful--

1324
01:00:01,639 --> 01:00:03,224
you're doing
that same hand movement,

1325
01:00:03,308 --> 01:00:04,559
but on your chest.

1326
01:00:04,642 --> 01:00:06,311
Yep, yep.

1327
01:00:06,394 --> 01:00:09,647
So your heart is pure
and beautiful, just like that.

1328
01:00:09,731 --> 01:00:11,357
And that means trans.

1329
01:00:11,441 --> 01:00:14,444
<i>[wind whooshing]</i>

1330
01:00:17,238 --> 01:00:20,867

1331
01:00:26,831 --> 01:00:29,000
- [interpreting]
I really have no idea.

1332
01:00:29,083 --> 01:00:30,877
It's, like...

1333
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,881
it's kind of hard
for me to understand.

1334
01:00:34,964 --> 01:00:37,550
But I was just so focused
on my work,

1335
01:00:37,633 --> 01:00:39,844
focused on my students,

1336
01:00:39,927 --> 01:00:42,930
focused on my social life,

1337
01:00:43,014 --> 01:00:45,558
focused on everything else
in my life.

1338
01:00:45,641 --> 01:00:46,893
I got a phone call.

1339
01:00:46,976 --> 01:00:50,021
And you know, of course, me
being deaf, I couldn't hear.

1340
01:00:50,104 --> 01:00:53,358
But I was still able
to feel my phone vibrating.

1341
01:00:53,441 --> 01:00:56,402
I took off my VR headset,
and I saw that the call

1342
01:00:56,486 --> 01:00:58,529
was from my mother.

1343
01:00:58,613 --> 01:00:59,906
I was like, "Oh,"
you know, "what's up?"

1344
01:00:59,989 --> 01:01:03,034
I really didn't know
what was going on.

1345
01:01:03,117 --> 01:01:07,080
When I answered the call,
I was able to see.

1346
01:01:07,163 --> 01:01:10,500
My mother explained that
my brother had passed away.

1347
01:01:10,583 --> 01:01:14,420
And I asked if he had passed
from coronavirus,

1348
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:17,924
and she said no.

1349
01:01:18,007 --> 01:01:21,469
And see,
my brother has a problem.

1350
01:01:21,552 --> 01:01:23,554
He has a lot of depression.

1351
01:01:23,638 --> 01:01:27,934
And he struggled
for a long time in his life.

1352
01:01:28,017 --> 01:01:30,645
I asked what was wrong,
what had happened.

1353
01:01:30,728 --> 01:01:34,482
I was concerned
over everything.

1354
01:01:34,565 --> 01:01:39,779
There was one problem
in particular that...

1355
01:01:39,862 --> 01:01:42,115
He had--[sputters]

1356
01:01:42,198 --> 01:01:43,741
he had committed suicide.

1357
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:46,911
And he had ended up
taking his own life.

1358
01:01:46,994 --> 01:01:49,914
And it was
a really big surprise for me.

1359
01:01:49,997 --> 01:01:52,917
I was really, really surprised.

1360
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,002
I-I couldn't express
my feelings.

1361
01:01:55,086 --> 01:01:56,129
I didn't know what happened.

1362
01:01:56,212 --> 01:02:00,007
And my mom also had no idea
what had happened.

1363
01:02:00,091 --> 01:02:04,137
It was my first time
experiencing this.

1364
01:02:07,098 --> 01:02:10,768
I don't know what
to say, really.

1365
01:02:13,229 --> 01:02:17,275
I just felt helpless.

1366
01:02:17,358 --> 01:02:19,652
I realized that people
actually planned

1367
01:02:19,735 --> 01:02:25,950
to surprise me with flowers
in my Helping Hands community.

1368
01:02:26,033 --> 01:02:28,077
Uh...

1369
01:02:28,161 --> 01:02:30,455
they wanted
to support me

1370
01:02:30,538 --> 01:02:33,624
because of my loss
of my brother.

1371
01:02:33,708 --> 01:02:38,296
And they were very sincere
in telling me

1372
01:02:38,379 --> 01:02:41,674
that they really loved me.

1373
01:02:41,757 --> 01:02:47,054
And they understood the love

1548
01:18:46,304 --> 01:18:52,644
in our relationship,
where it's quite a...

1549
01:18:54,062 --> 01:18:56,731
Our way of showing
each other that,

1550
01:18:56,815 --> 01:18:57,941
"Hey, you know what?

1551
01:18:58,024 --> 01:19:00,318
We waited a year
and five months."

1552
01:19:00,402 --> 01:19:02,487
You know, it's not about,
"Oh, my God,"

1553
01:19:02,571 --> 01:19:04,156
we started dating two weeks,

1554
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:06,324
and then, "Oh, my God,
let's have a VRChat wedding

1555
01:19:06,408 --> 01:19:07,993
just for the meme of it."

1556
01:19:08,076 --> 01:19:10,495
- The way I saw this wedding is
that we promised to each other

1557
01:19:10,579 --> 01:19:12,456
that we are going
to see each other.

1558
01:19:12,539 --> 01:19:17,836
We are going to get married
in the future, is basically--

1559
01:19:17,919 --> 01:19:21,798
and it's basically
a guarantee for us

1560
01:19:21,882 --> 01:19:24,676
that we are moving forward
with our lives,

1561
01:19:24,759 --> 01:19:28,847
for getting ready
for our real lives.

1562
01:19:28,930 --> 01:19:31,892
And I feel like that's
what the wedding mainly is,

1563
01:19:31,975 --> 01:19:35,228
is us committing and going--

1564
01:19:35,312 --> 01:19:37,063

It's just,
the timing's different.

1567
01:19:42,694 --> 01:19:44,946
So you still have
the same box step.

1568
01:19:45,030 --> 01:19:47,491
You still have
the same turn.

1569
01:19:47,574 --> 01:19:49,493
The timing goes like this.

1570
01:19:49,576 --> 01:19:51,995

to start on our right leg.

my belly-dance class,

01:26:53,166 --> 01:26:56,294
But I feel that,
through my experiences,

1720
01:26:56,377 --> 01:27:01,966
I've connected with people
so much deeper in VR

1721
01:27:02,050 --> 01:27:05,261
just because people
are so open

1722
01:27:05,345 --> 01:27:07,764
and true to themselves,
you know.

1723
01:27:07,847 --> 01:27:10,141
The circumstance
and how you meet somebody--

1724
01:27:10,224 --> 01:27:14,145
it doesn't define
your relationship at all,

1725
01:27:14,228 --> 01:27:17,440
because you can't control that.

1726
01:27:17,523 --> 01:27:19,776
You can't control
who you were born to.

1727
01:27:19,859 --> 01:27:21,152
You can't control

1728
01:27:21,235 --> 01:27:23,905
what circumstance
your family is,

1729

or how you meet
the people around you.

1730
01:27:26,407 --> 01:27:29,452
But you can control
how you react

1731
01:27:29,535 --> 01:27:32,789
and how you want
to continue a relationship

1732
01:27:32,872 --> 01:27:34,457
with these people.

1733
01:27:34,540 --> 01:27:36,793

1734
01:27:36,876 --> 01:27:39,003
VR relationships so much,

1735
01:27:39,087 --> 01:27:45,677
just because it is so raw
and beautiful and true.

1736
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,346
And I wish more people
would see that

1737
01:27:48,429 --> 01:27:51,182
and be more open to it.

1738
01:27:51,265 --> 01:27:53,017
Because I feel like
a lot of people

1739
01:27:53,101 --> 01:27:56,980
are close-minded to that,
which is a shame.

1740

I respect that nonetheless.
