A Massive Q&A With ME.

[Music] foreign [Music] hey it's me hi today I'm just doing a chill q a it's been over a year since I did the last q a which is crazy so this is gonna be a real chill real fun real low-key um I made a little video Community tab asking you guys to leave me some questions and you did 41 000 questions questions oh I'm gonna try to answer all the most popular questions this is gonna be a real talky talky video I hope you like it let's get into these questions what was your most enjoyable art project um one thing that does stand out in my mind is like something that I just had a lot of fun doing was that jean jacket it was just really fun painting that big fat cupcake what is your height I'm 5'5 would you like some advice on how to model the clothing items you make and sell because I'd be happy to help if you like my email is linked on my account that's the friendliest insult I've ever heard [Music] I don't think you should waste your time on me I'm never gonna be a model green and yellow let's just give up on that one right now what is your favorite chocolate yes what has been your least favorite video to film the sewing kit review from several years ago it wasn't interesting it was frustrating I yeah that was probably my least favorite video what made you want to start a YouTube channel when I was like 12 I had this friend we liked to make YouTube videos together we did these like really that one's wrong dummy I like pulled out your hairs really bad skits I actually didn't make my own channel and start posting on my own until years later I was like 15 and it was one summer we had just moved I'm sick which is you know pretty cool so I started making videos again and I started posting them on YouTube basically just as a way to uh entertain myself I'm sitting here in my bedroom at three o'clock in the morning talking to a computer screen what is your favorite eyeshadow color I am not creative with my makeup at all in fact I'm not even sure that I'm doing it right my favorite eyeshadow color would be whatever this is when did you decide that you were going to create a full-on full-time professional YouTube channel professional YouTube channel after I graduated college honestly all through college I was just waiting I was just chomping at the bit to get through school and and then start my YouTube career because that's all I wanted to do that being said I did take School extremely seriously stray days but um I hated it did you go to art school or are you self-taught I went to school for graphic design which is not really art it's design you create logos you design business cards you don't have very much creative freedom but I didn't want to get an art degree because I felt like my art wasn't good enough to be a career artist also I feel like I just didn't really fit into the fine art community I don't feel like art has to be conceptual or has to be serious to be worth something what is your favorite form of potato like french fries mashed Etc this is by somebody called clearly a potato I like french fries how do you deal with hate if you get any yes of course I get a lot of rude comments of course getting thousands of opinions about yourself thrown at you it's like having voices in your head so many opinions how do I deal with it a lot of people tried to play it off like they think that rude comments are just funny oh I love the haters but nobody likes to be told rude things about themselves it's not something that I take Delight in no matter how hard you try there are always going to be people who are rude and who just want to hurt your feelings for one reason or another you just kind of have to get used to it and be your own personal cheerleader like keep pushing on how long does it take to brush your hair what is your average audience age just curious because I'm in my 30s and I'm addicted to your videos I've got a wide range of Ages here I don't make my content for any age in particular it's not really age specific it's just Whoever likes this kind of style all the choices I make in my videos are based on what I like to do I just do stuff that I like have you ever been recognized in public if so how long ago and how often it's not super often probably like once a month I don't really draw a lot of attention when I'm in public I'm like very unremarkably plain looking person so I feel like I fly under the radar have you ever tried to communicate with Spirits I feel scared suddenly does a squishy ghost count I noticed a lot of questions about my memes oh boy idea of taking bits of your videos and use I think it's because I do so many voiceover videos and sometimes there's things that I want to express that are hard to express just with my voice I don't know okay do you keep a file of memes of yourself in other words what's your process for finding those funny little Clips I do keep a folder with all of them with all of my memes in there I have 431 Clips in this folder did you ever have any other channels before this one that you may be deleted quat yes I did here's here's the story for you this video is going to be long that first summer that I started making videos by myself collab channels were very big at the time if you don't know what a collab channel is it's exactly what it sounds like multiple people share a YouTube channel I really wanted to be a part of one so I auditioned for I think two different collab channels and this is my audition for one of the spots and I didn't get chosen I did not get chosen they didn't like my audition oh hey what's up I can't imagine why hey what's up um yeah I was low-key bitter about it so I actually like reached out to them and I was like hey just out of curiosity why didn't you choose me they basically told me that I just did too many weird things it was ahead of its time okay I have no idea what happened to that collab Channel I don't think it's still around anymore after I got rejected and my heart ripped out and trampled I decided you know what I am just going to make my own collab channel so I did I held auditions and I got a whole 300 subscribers thank you so much for my 311 subscribers I felt like on top of the world picked out my people from my collab and a week after it started one of the members of the of the collab I don't know who it was deleted the channel from the inside it just pooped gone catastrophic failure and after that I kind of fell out of love with collab channels what is one thing you would tell your past self if you could go back in time chill out and tell my current self that too I'm a Potato are you willing to become a potato with me oh geez the potato questions are back plans in the future kids continuing YouTube other jobs Etc um the kids question I do plan on having kids but I don't really have a timeline for that I am terrified of having kids I just ABS absolutely freaking terrified [Music] I love kids and I just feel like I would just stress about every little thing uh what was the second half of that question continuing YouTube other jobs will I be a YouTuber forever I don't know that would be awesome but YouTube careers aren't always the most reliable or long-lasting I have a degree I have experience making videos so I have skills that I could put toward getting another job if this did fall apart but for right now I'm just putting my full effort into what I'm doing right now and trying to enjoy every moment that I have this opportunity did you have any distinctive interests or collecting habits before you became obsessed with squishies first of all just just real quick I sometimes get the reputation of being like the squishy girl or like I'm obsessed with squishies it's not only that I am obsessed with squishies themselves I'm obsessed with the fact that they are just so perfect for customizing it's really just the art aspect of squishies that I'm interested in yeah I've had a lot of collections over the years actually I'm I'm a collector the earliest collection that I can remember is Star Wars action figures I was like seven or eight so how do you feel about other people doing squishy makeovers there have been quite a few people around you two who have tried squishy makeovers or even turned it into their own series on their Channel as well I mean I think it's awesome I like watching other people do squishy makeovers it's not as easy as it looks and there's a lot of things that are more of a struggle at first than you would think sometimes watching people struggle is like ah like I wish I could jump in there and help you it's probably how people feel when they watch me bake but I do enjoy it yes what is cousin derp's official name he's just the Derpy cousin I saw this question like a million times it's crazy and if he doesn't have one could it be tickle tickle um why tickle because it rhymes with pickle I don't understand why tickle would be his name I don't know is tickle even a name for you it is okay you can call him tickle only you why did pickle become the mascot icon of this channel it kind of just happened I don't know okay I almost called him Tickle Pickle was one of the most basic makeovers that I did I've had squishies that I've spent days and days and days on then there's pickle who I Just Whipped up in an afternoon and for some reason you guys just became obsessed with him do you play Animal Crossing New Horizons everyone has become freaking obsessed with this game okay I keep hearing people say like oh all I want to do now is play Animal Crossing I am sure that I would love it but I already have so many things that I want to do that I don't have time to do I don't want to form a new Addiction right right now can you bring back the hand intros what this person is referring to is the fact that I used to do my painting video intros with just my hands and all you could see was my hands I call it hand talk in my mind I don't think I actually ever said that out loud there's only so much you can say with your hands only so many motions you can make I felt like it was just gonna get super repetitive if I kept on going with it so I moved on from that and honestly not many people really even said anything about it which was shocking because I had been doing it that way for so long I switched to doing my intros like in front of the camera and everyone was just like how popular were you in various school years and do you think that that made a big difference in who you are today from second to eighth grade I was in the top three most popular kids in my school because I was homeschooled and I have two brothers there's a lot of stereotypes about homeschoolers like that they're weird yeah that's true I really appreciate having been homeschooled I went to public school in ninth grade and spent all of high school in public school which I also am very appreciative of I think the combination was really good was I popular in in high school my fingernails look like watermelons no no I was not I wasn't picked on I wasn't popular you know you watch the high school movies and there's like everyone's in their Clique I don't know what click I was in I was an extra I was just like walking around like what's going on here I found one or two friends in each class I would talk to them in class and then when school was over bye I left question are you gonna put my question in but for real can you do another seashell painting session whack you know what that's not a bad idea especially considering summer is upon us and seashells you know summer wouldn't cousin derp be cucumber because he's Pickle's cousin wait what why are there so many questions about cousin dirt a cucumber becomes a pickle so I'm not sure how that relationship works just because you have a cousin that's a pickle does that make you a cucumber I don't think so I don't he's blue how is he a cucumber no this has 41 likes okay when do ideas strike the most either in the shower or while watching something like watching TV or watching a video or something I have a very short attention span which is why I edit my videos the way I do because that's the kind of thing that I prefer watching like I gotta be like it's got to be yeah half the time when I'm editing I am just entertaining myself I could sit and make art for hours and hours and hours and not be bored but when it comes to staring at a screen it's got to be quick paced or else my mind starts to wander I find myself coming up with a lot of ideas while I'm watching something that I'm not fully engaged into question do you have any American Girl dolls because I have eight and I'm 18. actually yeah yes I loved American Girl Dolls When I was a kid um not that you have to be a kid to love them don't worry about how old you are or who else has them just collect things you want to collect friend it's not a big deal if you were able to be friends with one celebrity who would it be Elvis Presley no Laura Ingalls you didn't say they had to be alive wouldn't that be awesome to just like bring her into the modern world and just watch the sheer shock and confusion look this is a computer also tell her that she needs to start bathing more can you please paint your Russian nesting dolls oh my gosh so these have been sitting in my drawer for like two years and occasionally somebody begs me to paint them resistance while using your art supplies as a broke artist I literally use teeny tiny bits of paint every time I do art I have felt like that I don't feel like that anymore because I came to the discovery that when you're so afraid of wasting something things just don't turn out because you're like oh I don't want to use my nice pain or oh I don't want to use too much of this color and so you substitute the art doesn't end up turning out all that well and then it kind of feels like a waste like the whole thing is a waste so I kind of got over that and I was like you know what use as much Supply as necessary to make this good because that's a least wasteful thing that you can do do you know that there's seven colors in the rainbow not six people point this out quite often actually that I am a rainbow fanatic but I only ever use red orange yellow green blue purple I always skip using Indigo which is what they teach you in school is technically part of the rainbow I do not acknowledge Indigo it's not that I have a problem with Indigo on its own as a color having six colors makes so much more sense it's an even number you got three warm colors and three cool colors and it's just so perfectly balanced and indigo is just unnecessarily there for some reason I don't think it needs to be there when you're painting squishies or anything in general do you start on something else while you wait for the paint to dry or do you just wait remember that stressed is desserts backwards thank you um actually this is something that I get asked a lot a lot of people are very concerned about my workflow and like how that all works because obviously I edit things in a certain order to make them make sense in the video but that's not necessarily the order that I did things if I'm doing a squishy makeover I don't start one squishy finish it and then start the next one and finish it I'm working on all of them at the same time the squishy makeovers I'm usually working on over the course of like three four weeks I do work on multiple videos at the same time so that I'm filming in the most efficient way possible I am trying to use like every minute of my day that I can why have you never really collaborated with any other YouTubers I would like to that's one of my goals for moving forward like I want to do more collaborations why I think there's a combination of reasons um I don't live in LA I don't go to a lot of events or like make a lot of appearances I really value having kind of like a simple lifestyle and I'm kind of just like doing my own thing the art community on YouTube I don't know them I don't even know if they know who I I am and that's probably my own fault I'm not blaming anybody um yeah help since you've done the tie-dying video have you actually worn any of the clothes uh no I haven't I burned all of them same thing as last year a lot of people wanted to know about my husband Jordan and whether he will be in videos or not you know what that's completely up to him also it makes me kind of nervous because I don't want anyone to be mean to him and that goes for anyone in my family or friends I would be scared to bring them on my channel because I don't want anyone to be rude to them and I don't want anyone getting the chance to insult somebody that I care about I'm not gonna say he'll never be on my channel but I'm also not gonna promise that he will be either I don't have a concrete answer for you on that question does two plus two equal fish yes because if you take the twos and turn them it makes a fish what's your advice for people who are starting YouTube now oh my legs ah if you want to start a YouTube channel start a YouTube channel but make sure that you actually like to make videos settle in for a long road of work and time nobody is just born knowing how to make a good video have you ever gotten stressed about posting a video like is anyone gonna like this have I messed up on the editing I don't know if this is normal but I get nervous every time I post a video Friday at four o'clock I'm like if you've made a mistake in a video or you said something that wasn't correct like most comments aren't even going to be talking about the video they're just going to be talking about that thing that you did wrong so yeah I get nervous like oh my gosh did I say something wrong in this video okay a lot of questions about different types of merchandise that I'm going to make are you going to make merch with cousin derp and pickle can you do more uses in Shelly merch I see your guys's requests for merchandise thank you for all your feedback I am working on stuff behind the scenes it just takes time how come you didn't answer my DMs I don't I don't know which DMS were yours I'm sorry I'm sorry DMS my emails oh my gosh 20 000 unread emails right now I there's no way to keep up with every single message not because I don't want to but because there's just a lot of them I wish I could respond to everyone but can't do that I've gotta make videos so what does Sam do now I'm pretty sure all of us who have watched your old videos are wondering so if you haven't watched my old videos he is my younger brother and he's still my younger brother I do see him on a regular basis and he is in college why do you do so much art get a life by the way I'm subbed love you what the heck what is the age difference between you and your husband he is three years older why are you so indecisive I'm not indecisive have you ever thought about painting the walls in your art studio this is another thing that people just ask on a regular basis why don't you paint your table why don't you paint your shelves why don't you paint your walls I think it would just be too chaotic I want to keep the furniture and the walls white in my studio I don't want to paint a wall that there are paintings hanging on because then it's like painting on top of painting and I would never paint my table because I work on it every week and it would just get chewed up does this question annoy you no does this question annoy you does this question annoy you does this question annoy you that's starting to have you run out of video ideas absolutely not sometimes people assume that when I do weird things it's because I'm out of video ideas if I have a problem with ideas it's that I have too many ideas is Jordan subscribed to you this is from pickle and cousin derp yeah he had better be do you swear off camera a lot of people assume that I don't swear in my videos because I'm trying to be family friendly uh that's actually not the reason though the reason is because I just don't swear yeah it's not that I'm afraid to swear and it doesn't bother me when other people swear in the slightest I just don't like to swear I appreciate not having to censor my speech and just not picking up that habit it's weird because it's like one of those things that people don't even question it's just like why would you even think not to but just because it's something that everyone does doesn't really mean a whole lot to me I just don't feel the need to okay I've answered a butt load of questions hope that you guys enjoyed thank you so much for watching thank you to everyone who submitted questions sorry if I didn't get around to yours and I will see you guys next week bye [Music]
