  • In 2008, the channel xXblo0dyxkissxX was created on CZcams, owned by two goth girls called Tara and Raven the Acid Bath Princess of the Darkness. With their friend Azer, they lip-synced along to the likes of My Chemical Romance and Evanescence. On the New Years of 2009, they uploaded a video titled 'A Shout Out from Tara and Raven' that became a viral meme and attracted hate comments labelling the girls as cringe. Following inactivity on the channel, the girls began to be connected to the infamous 'My Immortal' Harry Potter fanfiction. The channel was surrounded in mystery, as people question whether Tara and Raven were real goths, as well as whether they were responsible for writing the World's Worst Fanfiction. Then after 13 years of mystery, a video was uploaded to the channel, revealing what Tara and Raven were like now.
    Disclaimer: In this video, I use the words emo and goth interchangeably, as people have used both words to describe the girls. I am aware that they are two separate subcultures and hope that no offence is caused :)

    • @tajecollins8899
      @tajecollins8899 Před 2 lety +10

      Sorry about the book below. But, in short: Yes, it really does...
      Bloodborne/GTA gameplay, completely void of any comedy, set on Earth and in Hell. In Hell, there's an area reminiscent of Classical Victorian Paris. Gangsters run the city and one of Satan's best men is in this area. His lips are sewn shut. Throughout progressing, the area becomes increasingly easier, albeit with difficulty spikes. Around 90% of the game is finished and you realize half of the horrible shit you did was all because of this 1 NPC. At this, the area is completely passive. NPCs who hate you are happy and give you stuff you don't need. NPCs who like you are sad and give you items that play to your strengths. Upon entering his building, you are pleasantly greeted solely by NPCs who dislike you and happily guide you to a door...
      Cut scene:
      Player: *Laughs in frustration/anger* "Why is it so easy to forget that the Devil makes us do his own deeds? Why!?"
      Speechless NPC: Apathetic to your entrance, continues motion of sharpening a sword.
      Player: "Of all of the atrocities you-" *Seething* " *WE'VE* committed, do you feel no shame!? Regret!? ...Horror!?"
      Speechless NPC: Continues ignoring you with motion of pouring and rubbing substance on sword.
      Player: "You don't care..." Unsheathes weapon "I've counted EVERY terrible deed I've done in your name, but y-"
      Speechless NPC: Body jolts as if he tried to giggle. His hands motion slowly, pushing down. Apache Revolver on fingers glints in the light. Every mirror, portrait, and ornament matches his hands' pace to the floor. He gives player a knowing wink and smile.
      Player: Now speechless, looks about the room in shock and terror.
      All items that were on the wall are "Trophies" from past jobs. The walls, all of them, are engraved with tally marks. Some are even on the ceiling. When your eyes meet, he smiles gently as he strikes with his invisible Composite Sabre. The text above the health bar reads: The Mime of Satan's Bidding
      Phase 2 Cut scene:
      The mime rips your weapon from your hands and shoves it blade-first into his own mouth, tearing the stitching. He violently attacks the inside of his mouth before dropping your weapon. He becomes a waterfall of coughing, profuse bleeding and violent vomiting. As he stands, his body shakes with laughter. The blood and vomit form into copies of himself. There are thin strings that attach the copies to his mouth. He laughs manically at you and yet not a single sound escaped him.

  • @cherrytwizzler
    @cherrytwizzler Před rokem +248

    I think it was their goth personas, not “characters” they created. It’s common for goth kids to adopt a shiny new goth name. Raven and Tara have always been popular choices, followed by names like October, Raine, or Tabitha. Finding a fanfic with the names Raven & Tara is not a challenge.
    These kids seem more like they were experimenting with how they expressed themselves rather than planning a troll.

      @QueenSable7 Před rokem +25

      I agree with you. I'm really struggling to see the clever angle here. Maybe if they had in fact been completely opposite to goths/emos then it would have been a well-crafted deception but it looks more like trying something more exaggerated on for fun to create personas that were not a massive departure from who they actually are/were, to see if it would catch some attention. Anyway, it worked, even if luck had a part to play.

      They were goth when they were younger but made the videos when they were adults so they knew the culture perfectly to satire it.

    I've never heard of nor seen their videos before (though I was certainly gothy/emo kid myself).
    But the fact that they had so many hate comments and people telling them to kill themselves is so disturbing.
    It very much reminds me of the whole ordeal with BOTDF and Jessie Slaughter- a child who came forward about a REAL inappropriate relationship with a very REAL child predator, and instead of support...there were nothing but diss tracks, memes, endless harassment, and messages encouraging suicide.
    And still no legal repercussions against Dahvie.
    It really fucking needs to stop.
    It is beyond juvenile and beyond embarrassing that some people (especially adults) lack the cognitive ability to exercise self-restraint online.
    Some of you really don't deserve modern luxuries like internet access.
    If you can't be online without telling kids to die, then please forego the internet altogether and spend a year with the Amish until you can get your act together.

It really is sad. Too many people come online and say things they never ever everrr would say in real life to someone's face. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face or you think it might be disgusting or rude if you did say it to someone's face, then you shouldn't be commenting it online.

We all have the choice to not go online, or to refrain from reading comments. While I don’t think it’s appropriate that people bully, call names, dox or threaten other people online, you also have the choice to not engage with other people online.

    Lol it’s funny to me how in my immortal the authors changed the lightning bolt to a pentagram considering in the Bible it says “I saw Satan like lightning, falling from heaven.” Honestly they could’ve just left the lightning bolt if they wanted to portray that. The symbol of lightning being associated with Satan is a lesser known symbol of such as shown in the Bible. Light and Satan go hand and hand considering the translation of serpent from its original Hebrew translates as “the shinning one.” So clearly “light” or a false light is shown to be a symbol of Satan himself as shown by God in the old and new testaments

    I also remember this being one of the first channels where I would read the comments and be totally shocked and disgusted at some of the things people would post.
    It was one of the first times i realized that there are many, MANY people out there who will say things anonymously online that they would never say to someone's face. Not just that, they would leave comments that would never be considered OK to say to another person at any time, for any reason. This is something that has gotten really out of hand in my opinion and even now I cannot come up with a reason that so many people want to leave comments of that nature I mean you see horrible horrible comments on CZcams where people post about depression or that they are feeling suicidal and even though there will be dozens of comments where people are telling them things will get better and trying to help them there are always a handful of comments where some Anonymous scumbag tell them that they are worthless or they are seeking attention and they should just go ahead and do it.
    what is it that makes a person feel good when they leave a comment that they know will hurt someone.
