I started my YouTube channel back in 2016 when I was just beginning to learn 2D animation. It was a place where I could practice my skills and post whatever I wanted to. I was, and always have been, very big into fan culture. At that time I was specifically hyperfixated on the video game, Undertale. I made a stupid little animation about the game and it quickly gained traction. Before I knew it, “The Sans Song” had amassed thousands of views and now sits at over 12 million in total.
I’ve continued making fan animations over the years (mostly about Undertale lol). I now have multiple videos on my channel with well over 1 million views. I became somewhat famous within the Undertale community and amassed a following of over 200k subscribers. It’s been a very strange and unexpected journey that absolutely changed my life. It helped me financially as I was able to use some of my revnue earnings towards my grad school tuition. But more than anything, it remains a safe space for me to experiment with animation and indulge in my interests :)
