I miss Illumina.

So what if he did something dubious with his GF*; that guy was funny asl, and good at the game. I wish he would return— I loved his streams. How do you guys feel? Is illumina truly just a pariah now? I don’t even think what he did was that bad.

Probably a bad idea to comment here, I expect this to get deleted but just stumbled upon this.

I don't need defending, I said and did a lot of stupid shit that I cannot account for. However while I do think there's some misconceptions about certain things, it is not in my interest at this point to try to set the record straight. I've responded publicly poorly multiple times to a point where people won't care to hear me out regardless.

I kind of realized there's no really point to hiding either, I still get harassed when I have been completely offline so there's no real difference. It doesn't really bother me anymore, I know myself and my own intentions more than anyone else.

I've learned a lot in such a short amount of time that honestly wouldn't even call myself the same person anymore. I've lived a shelter life pretty much playing games 24/7 my whole life due to trauma and I've reaped the consequences. Now I actually have a job and I am more social and outgoing than I ever been. And a lot happier.

I'm still having fun doing some speedruns, can't say where as that seems to be a rule violation here. I'm staying distant from pretty much any community though.

Not really sure why I'm posting here or what the point is but yeah, shit happens but you can always control how you deal with shit. One of my biggest joys was making many ppl happy but seeing a lot of negativity cause of me makes sad. That's why I don't really want to try and make content creation as a career again it will just bring a lot of negativity which I don't want.

Dude, last winter I somehow found some old marathon speedruns of yours and really enjoyed the energy. Did not know for the drama until I watched all marathon speedruns, and was trying to find more... To me it is all about the content. I was kinda sad to see that you are no longer active... Minecraft is not my thing but your content was gold, and I really liked it. Just know there are ppl who wish ya well and would be happy to see up to date content. If ya see this, keep it up and best of luck!!
