Okayā¦ this isnāt to fuel my ego and I wonāt be offended which option you choose. This is purely for research purposes and I am asking you guys to be 100% honest! Because Iām trying to figure out this stuff, such as if I should branch out, create a new channel or should I take the foundation Iāve built here and create something even biggerā¦
What do you guys come for? And what do you guys want?

Okay this is the last time I say anything on the matter!
But there has been some miscommunication about me mentioning Victor Tanzig in my video. I do not repeat NOT think he is a bad person, my beef is more with some of his fandom. Hell when he got so much backlash for Season 5 of Stories of Sodor, I felt so bad for him because I thought some of the things his own fans were saying were so unfair.
I just also think he hasnāt done anything to control that by adding controversy bait content which includes racist and offensive material. Obviously heās entitled to make his own content and heās not in control of his own fandom and I apologise if people got the wrong idea. I was just giving an example of someone who has significant influence over the fandom who could do more to not add fuel to the fire.
So I apologize to all of you who like Victor Tanzig and Iām not gonna stop you from watching his content and to me there is a difference to me between someone whose made bad choices to an actually bad person.
As for Unlucky Tug and Thomas Theorist, I do NOT believe in any way they are bad people nor have they made bad decisions. I said in the video āthey are perfectly respectable users in their own rightā. What I meant was to give an example of the kind of influence that they have and that a very small number of their fans can be toxic, THAT is something out of their control, it was my way of comparing users who are out of control of it vs users who I believe could be doing more. So I sincerely apologize that came across.
But thatās just a few things I wanted to clear up! This is the last thing I will say on the matter, Iām tired of it but I felt I did need to clear up some of my points. Have a good one guys!

Thank you to everyone for the support on the latest video, was a bit of a difficult topic to discuss and most of you were respectful to the opinions I had to present on the matter!
Okay, so Iāve seen a lot of people saying stuff like āoh why donāt you just ignore him and heāll go awayā?
First off, you mean to tell me that you should ignore homophobia, racism and overall anti social behaviour? The whole āignore them and theyāll get bored itā never worked in school and it sure as hell doesnāt work now!
However, there is a difference between ignoring someone and making it clear to others who might hear. Users like the one who shall not be named are too far gone and Iām not trying to change them. They made their choice and thatās entirely up to them. However, making aware of the influence and responsibility of content creators even from someone not as active or big in the fandom still needs restating. I do not regret making that video and felt it was a message that needed to be heard.
On the subject of that, if said user starts hurling abuse at me or makes a video about it, I am begging all of you please to not make a war out of it. I know I just said that we shouldnāt ignore this kind of behavior, but karma is a powerful thing. If they come after me or any of you lot then thatās just him humiliating himself even more.
And if they call me a coward for not responding, then I ask youā¦ for choosing to speak out in a world that makes you believe change is impossible, whoās really the brave one here?

Regarding the latest Trampy reactionā¦
Gonna be honest, it would be really nice if people stopped talking or mentioning how long my absence has been.
A) I already told you my reasons.
B) Iāve uploaded other stuff to this channel in posts and I even uploaded a video the day before yesterday but all people see are the Trampy reactions because thatās the popular series.
C) Doing these reactions are NOT my passion! I have other stuff I would much rather be working on but for your guysā sake this is the only thing on my channel with any consistency so I owe it to the people who stuck with me and have been respectful of my space and have been ultra patient, plus being on the Autistic Spectrum, I understand the importance of structure.
D) Carrying on slightly from C, doing Reactions has almost done nothing but ruin my mental health at times. If its not a popular series like Trampy it simply doesnāt do well, people asking about seriesā I have stated multiple times I donāt want to do because their fandoms are toxic as shit and simply knowing the people come to my channel only for another persons series I mean do you have any idea how demoralizing that is? I mean literally I had a comment the other day telling me āwhy do you always sing over the best conversations?ā Like dude! Itās a Reaction! You watch it for the commentary! You wanna watch the original video? The link is right there!
Hell, even at Awdry last year! The first thing someone that recognized me said to me was āThe only thing I watch is your Trampy reactions, whenās the next one coming out?ā and quite frankly whoever asked that question almost ALMOST ruined my day if it werenāt for my friends!
Sure reactions are easy to make and they are fun to do in the moment, but quite frankly and this doesnāt extend to everyone, a lot of you guys have no idea how much crap goes on behind the scenes in terms of my mental health, aspirations, who I am as a person, all perfectly valid reasons why I didnāt do a Reaction in a long time which I think a few people need to be a lot more respectful of! I am not a robot, I am not someone whose reactions are his passion I just know Iām good at them and I am not using Trampy to milk views on my channel! Thank you ā¤ļø

As you guys know one of the biggest burdens I have to face personally is the label of āreaction YouTuberā.
I know you guys enjoy my Trampy Reactions and they give a sense of stability and change to my channel giving you a series to get hooked on but the truth isā¦ I get really, really overwhelmed when people ask me when the next reaction is.
I know Iāve addressed this before but it really makes me feel sad knowing people are realistically only watching my channel for another persons content. Reactions are also not what I want to do for the rest of my life, sure they show off my personality and maybe a similar format I can see myself doing only more analysis based content rather than straight up reactions. But this is just another kind reminder to please not ask for when reactions come out for the sake of my mental health, because I am not a one trick owl.
However, I do feel you guys are overdue an update and I do need to edit that Q&A I promised. Iāll give you the lowdown, Iāmā¦ a bit lost. Iām about to finish University and I got rejected from a job I really wanted and now I feel a bit lost for what to do after University, though I guess it might give me time to really delve into this channel! Soā¦ the future is uncertain for me, but right now Iām trying to embrace that uncertainty as it is a bit exciting! I mean, who knows what the future holds right?! And with the skills Iāve shown on this channel and with other ventures, Iām not gonna let anything stop me!
Hope you guys are all well, love you

Hey guys! For my podcast module, I had to create a pilot for a potential podcast series and our aim is to get it to 30 streams on Spotify, if you're interested, please give it a listen!
Basically its a sketch comedy interview series where I interview personifications of popular brands, if you're a fan of utter chaos then this might just be up your alley

Hello,
I am a Voice Actor, Singer, Narrator, Writer, Reaction Personality and all around pleasant chap (I'm British and I'm posh, so sue me!)
I use this channel as a creative outlet mostly for performing but I basically do whatever I feel like as a guy who is a nerd for animation, anime, gaming and storytelling š¤
Also on the autistic spectrum and I feel like I credit my performing ability to that, like a neurotypical person we all have our strengths and weaknesses
Let me know if you need a VA or Writer for your project
