In IJFUAIHNIWTDWML, why is boyfriend censored? And are you ever going to continue it, or make something else in the same vein? Any other projects differing from your usual content in the works?

PS: I very much love the reveal in the ending as a way of coming out.

Oh my goodness someone actually knowing about IJFUAIHNIWTDWML! Talk about deep cuts!

My boyfriend was initially censored as he just didn't want to be on camera, but then we just kind of turned it into a running gag that that's how he genuinely looks, which is why in the cartoons he has the pixelated face too, that's just him!

I definitely have stuff in the works that's a bit different in the stuff I'm putting out at the moment but there's no plans to continue IJFUAIHNIWTDWML, it was moreso made just a way to keep making videos before coming out, and without using my old name.

Hi! I hope you’re doing well,

I’ve been watching for a little over a year. I have ocd, and apart of my daily struggle is that I rarely am able to watch YouTube due to my very high anxiety.

You are one of the very few people who I am able to comfortably view the content of. Your videos are such a big distraction and seriously keep me entertained and enveloped for however long they last. I seriously cannot express how awesome you’re doing. Thank you a ton for allowing me and others to join you in your interests!

I've never thought anything I made would reach people in general, let alone offer this level of entertainment so, thanks so much for reaching out, means a lot :)

Oh shit I didn’t know you had a tumblr, (and judging from your recent art you posted, a deltarune enjoyer) I love your videos. Some high quality stuff.

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the kind words.

I am really, REALLY late to the deltatune train, only played it this year, but I ate the whole thing up like candy and adored every single pixel of it :)

i take that as a "never" to the discord question

there is currently no official tedorate discord server and there are no plans for one anytime soon because i i have yet to see a youtuber discord that doesn't end in nuclear level disaster

I rewatched your minecraft video today while doing dishes and making a sandwich, and when that outro + song hit I felt the most potent fondness for a time i hadn’t felt in a very long while. a time where i might’ve been mostly alone, and basically a different person entirely, but still backed by a love for a game I very simply Existed in and built cute cottages and farms as a young teen. It felt like a younger me was dancing and weaving about my feet just in pure happiness of the love on display for what is a very simply and fun little game again.

you’re a great documentarian in very human experiences in a way i really enjoy seeing from your videos- and your drive to be the most genuine and authentic version of yourself really shines through! I hope your journey continue doing so always finds you kindness.

Even though its by far my poorest performing video since the youtube algorithm decided to take a shine to me, I'm still really proud of the minecraft video and most of that comes from the reaction to it.

It's an incredibly personal video to me which I know might sound a bit silly in the context of a video about minecraft, but reading the comments left on it and wonderful messages like this really strike a chord with me because not only was I able to put my own emotions into a video and have it not (entirely) come off as self serving cringe, but being able to see people take the message I went with and reply with their own, deeply personal interpretations of the video is the kind of response I never thought anything I made would be able to illicit and it's such a deeply meaningful thing to me.

this reply has gotten really sappy so i've attatched some pikmin doodles to lift the mood

i've seen videos from your channel in my recommended and i finally decided to watch one--the gloaming video--and holy shit i LOVE your style. your sense of humor gets me every time, but you also know how to simmer down and take the topic seriously when needed, and for horror channels that's a hard line to follow i've found! you've found a glorious medium that speaks deeply to my soul and i really enjoy the snack break segments.

anyway uh. yeah i just wanted to say that. keep up the good work! your art is also very lovely and i like your shapes a lot :]

[tedorate]

I’m so glad you have a tumblr!

What got you interested in ARGs?

I saw Marble Hornets and Petscop in the beginning, but my obsession with the medium didn’t hit until Interloper/Project Skybox.

Years ago, I got an episode of Marble Hornets in my Youtube feed, this was well before Marble Hornets even had a second season and before I had the cognitive ability to determine the series was clearly fictional.

It scared the everliving shit out of me in a truly viceral way that nothing else ever had, I had seen low budget indie movies before like the Blair Witch Project but none of them grabbed me in the way Marble Hornets did.

I think it was just the nature of seeing something like this unfolding in real time, instead of seeing something that was fully completed and viewable in one sitting that completely floored me. I had no idea that media could be expressed in that way before, add in the fact it was so modern and so steeped in (at that time) current internet sensibilities and the whole thing utterly mezmorised me.

Ever since then, and since lurking through experiences like meatsleep, ben drowned, all of the dozens of slender series I adore and god knows what else, I've had a permanent, unshakeable fascination with the unique formatting that unfiction storytelling allows for.

also when i say everyones art style is unique to them no matter the range i think this tweet is genuinely unironically a perfect example showcasing that

they all watched that tutorial together and yet every richard is different and unique. your art is still yours. do not worry about keeping up a "consistent art style" it will come to you
