pngtuber fps/speedrunner gamer, copyscarecrow
esports champion retiree turned coach
sporadic streams, forgets to announce schedules alot
didnt start off using mic and camera or even a mascot png, relied on gameplay
started getting viral for trickshots and really good plays, later for his bunch of dogs
being faceless, when he started getting viral for personality he garnered a fanbase who is really weird about his real face
started anonymously 'leaking' his own pics he edited to troll
team 7 who he coached also never saw his face so they too dove into the forums to see. also got duped
when hype went down unceremoniously face revealed with a mask, teased removing it the whole time, revealed another mask under and ended stream.
somehow this garnered a rabid fanbase again. the allure of skinny mysterious emoboy, ofc, youre all familiar...
he started talking and posting about icha-icha though, which turned a good chunk off with the pervert stuff. he has a field day every #ichaichaselfieday. kinda started it even
gets shipped with so many of his regular collab friends male or female its kinda ridiculous
started off as a aloof curt guy, he's kinda softer and smiley now. there are comparison clips on this.
funny react idiot facecam streamer, BLU3 BE4ST
screamy. talks funny. as you know.
many of his clips are 'funny moments' and 'passing out from jumpscares' compilations
real strict with his chat though, no disrespectful talk allowed (at anyone!!) or he will genuinely start 15 mins speeches at you and he constantly gets clowned for this by the manosphere. except hes still buff and manly as shit so some guys start really revering him for guidance. their loud goofy buff kind and respectful jordan peterson if you will.
was bad at gaming at first, so story driven games were his staple but he really wanted to be good at fps!!!! cue training streams
met kakashi during a charity event waaay back when both were youtubers, declared rivalry, and somehow kakashi went along with it after a stubborn pestering.
folks clowned him for pestering kakashi, but a small but die-hard fujoshi audience started forming... not big, because the allure of bowlcut+loud idiot+thick eyebrows was yet to be understood by many.
got his first real viral moment when he got a treadmill to use while streaming and genuinely unfazed through 7 hours stream while fully focused on the game. then ring fit adventure, then vr fighting games. breezed through all that easy, hes good art exercising and martial arts it turned out. got himself the setup that registers his irl steps into open world game steps later etc.
oh also clips of him holding his bangs up bc of sweat went viral, some thirsty folks are out there
started to get REALLY good at fps actually??? won a championship or several as an underdog. comparison clips on youtube showing his improvement started popping up. Blue Beast 15 Years Improvement Comparison etc. he cried winning too so folks started to get really endeared. his stubborn persistence worked for once bc they discovered that he used to do ten hours training streams without actually witnessing it real time. gai used to be made fun of for it, and one clipper smartly edited the screenshots of the comments in to really play up the emotions
copyscarecrow and BLU3 BE4ST 'friendship'
the OGs tbh. have been around for decades, starting with youtube Let's Plays. one of the first few who collabed regularly too
og shippers were always there, small crowd but loyal although mostly for kakashi. their numbers quietly but steadily increases.
rivarly matches is a series spanning hundreds of episode with a wikia tallying the scores official and unofficial. they do all sorts of games and stupid shit in it.
both tried a streamer house for a bit. didnt work out for them, in kakashi's case mainly because he has fuck ton of dogs. it went through several phases of main roster changes like offline tv for example. but while they both were there there were tons of moments where you can spot both on eachothers stream, or together sometimes in other streamers', and the brief sightings read very domestic to the shippers. blu3crow stocks went up quite a bit.
they mentioned their rough childhoods several times, and they got close when they were younger and things were rough. didnt go into much details though, so there are speculations
them as a ship REALLY rose to popularity after a irl stream in gais channel with kakashi off camera to his side. they had a Moment, reminiscing about their past that hinted at a deeper history. gai had always been openly appreciative of anyone deserving, but kakashi is mentioned the most often (almost dethroned by lee). but kakashi is usually more aloof about these things, so when he dropped "hey. if anything happens to me, you will come running, right?" "well of course! no doubt about that!!" followed by a soft "thanks." and a hand to the shoulder, it changed many's brain chemistry. there are edits being made of it to this day
gai went through a long hiatus because of an accident that lost him his leg. throughout the hiatus updates will come from kakashi if not from his own account or lee's. kakashi's own activities lessened too. again, there were speculations.
gai came back and slowly got back into rhythm, with friends and new and old making appearances in his channel and streams. meanwhile kakashi helped naruto with building his agency and streamed way less.
they never announced this, but gai and kakashi moved in together. what is really going on between them, well, we may never know...
