Onision & Sam in a sketch video

Sam was a fan of Greg and Kai's who lived in their home for a month in 2018.

**During the events in this article, Kai went by the nickname "Lainey" and did not yet identify as a trans man. The writing in this article will reflect Kai's current name and pronouns, but images, quotes, and videos will not.

Fan

Sam began tweeting at Greg in 2016. In late August of that year, he ran an art contest for his fans. Sam submitted a drawing she made of Greg and Kai. (Source) With over 500 likes, Sam won the art contest. (Source) Greg sent Sam a Macbook for winning the contest.

Sam continued to support Greg and Kai through 2017. By 2018, Sam had 76 tweets mentioning Onision and 61 tweets mentioning Kai. (Source)

Visit

In January 2018, Greg brought Sam to his and Kai's home. He introduced Sam online as his cameraman.

On January 23, 2018, Kai uploaded the video "MY NEW TATTOO". In the video, Kai gets a thigh tattoo of two elephants. ($ource) The design was made by Sam. The elephants are meant to represent Kai's children.

On January 29, 2018 when asked about his relationship with Sam during a stream, Greg commented, "Just think of Sam as a person, and not anything else... people are weird when I'm around women, but life is far less weird IRL." (Source)

Onision + Sam Video Outro

While she was there, Greg and Sam made a handful Onision / Patreon sketch videos together, including the videos "My Girlfriend Is Pregnant (Onision)" and "I PROPOSED TO HER!!!!". Sam had animated an outro based on Greg's classic Onision outro, but it featured a cartoon of herself and her name squashing the work "Onision".

Sam drew thumbnail art for Greg. ([ Source]) She also created merch for Kai and Greg, but the design she made for Kai was never released. The merch she drew for Greg consisted of his characters Emo Charlie and Rod Danger kissing. (Source)

Sam later revealed she was not being paid for the work she did for Greg. ()

Tension

Many people following believed there was tension between Kai and Sam. When fans would try to ask Kai about Sam during his YouNow streams, Kai would ignore them.

Sam and Greg frequently streamed games together on twitch. They would sit in separate desks facing away from each other. (Source) It was speculated Greg gave Sam Kai's desk due to Kai complaining on Younow that his desk had to be moved.

One day, users in Kai's Younow chat joked that they would start a petition to get Kai's desk back. Sam replied in chat, "we will get you a better deck." (Source)

In February, Sam began streaming at night alone. It seems she was now streaming from her own bedroom in the house. (Source) She confirmed on a stream that she was now living with Kai and Greg. (Source) In another stream, she confessed she had thought about being in a three-way relationship with Greg and Kai. When asked if she liked them, she said yes, but neither of them have brought up the topic of her joining their relationship. (Source)

Kicked Out

Post Visit

After Sam had not streamed for several days, someone contacted her on twitter and asked if everything was ok. She replied she was fine and she was no longer living with Greg and Kai. She said things will be healthier without having her in the picture. (Source) A screen shot of this conversation was shared online on February 17, 2018.

Later that day, while Greg was streaming, someone asked why Sam left. He says it's up to Sam to talk about it. He says there's no reason for him to talk about it if Sam never said anything negative about him. When asked if he cared about Sam, he says he does because Sam is his friend. Someone said Kai was jealous of Sam. Greg said Kai was not jealous, he was nervous because he has low self esteem. He says Kai is nervous every day that he will leave Kai. He says Kai said the last few days have been the happiest days of his life and they've come a long way. He says Kai now knows more than ever that he's not going to leave him. (Source)

After Greg's stream, Sam talked about the situation on her own stream. She says the situation in the house got so uncomfortable, she spent the last two days there alone in her room to give Greg and Kai space. She says Kai hinted on Younow that he believed Sam stole clothes and makeup from him. When Sam was told about this, she was upset and pulled out her makeup bag to go through it. Sam also said she could hear them talking about her from another room. Sam was upset she didn't do more to make things better between the three of them, but she can't fight for someone who refuses to put in any effort. (Source)

In Kai's stream, he denied being the reason why Sam left. He said it was a mutual decision. He also denies ever accusing Sam of stealing anything. Kai says there's a difference between being "insecure" (finger quotes) and doing things that are totally inappropriate that make people uncomfortable. He says Sam could talk to him personally if she has any questions. Someone says Kai ignored Sam then whole time she was there. Kai says he didn't, Sam ignored him. (Source)

The next day, Sam spoke about the situation again on her stream. She says she was convinced the reason she was at the house was to be in a poly relationship because when she was there he said he did not need a camera person. She says you can't disprove that. She says she finds Greg handsome, but she did not do anything. She says she doesn't waste her time with people she can't be with and the more she looked at the situation, the more she realized it was not possible. She says he joked and told her she would be a tough person to groom. She says she doesn't think he was grooming her. She says she realizes now he was lying about her purpose for being there. She says it doesn't make sense for someone to blow up over something so petty, but it makes sense for them to blow up over a relationship not working out. She said for a short time they did stuff, but not much. She said she wanted to, but was shy about it and could sense someone was uncomfortable. She says he went from saying she was still his friend to hating her and saying she tried to ruin his relationship. (Source)
