I used to be a 47 year old man with no left leg on the internet Now I'm an 18 year old that is a depressed artist Next I'll be 36 year old female alcoholic Also echo Senpai, why are you in a room that looks like it belongs in an insane asylum... Because I love it
omg you are the artist of that Kisame fanart!!? That used to be my iPod touch lockscreen in my early weeaboo phase! Been subscribed to you for quite a while now and never noticed...
CPT Freeman Gold inflation mostly. Items in the marketplace became astronomically expensive. The team attempted to fix this by changing the currency to platinum which is cool because now most of the shop items are now like one platinum. So it’s great for beginners who need the basics. The pinball rooms are dead so don’t bother going there if you’re looking to meet cool new people. Towns are your best bet. Also the weekly avatar contests are extinct so you can’t upload a Cosplay or original avatar anymore. I entered a few of both back in the day and managed to get a four and half star review for my avatar’s Esmeralda Cosplay :)
OMG im almost positive I knew you on Gaia! I was known as StokersDracula back in the day. Im one year older than you but I went to the Library everyday to hit them 3 sites up. ^,..,^
I used to love your screenies! I remember I'd post on the Neoboards and ask for people to post screenie links and it seemed like yours always made it to the post lol.
I... was... there.... I remember reading your Neopets comics! I made screenies and wanted to send comics to the Neopian Times (never sent them) and had a Neopets emo band on one of my pet's pages. Nice to see somebody else who went through the same Neopets culture at that time hahahaa
So I stumbled across your videos from my recommended and holy shit I cant believe I recognize you from Neopets? I was like 7 and i played RELIGIOUSLY. Screenies were my absolute favorite things and I loved all of yours. Being 7 I made my own shitty offbrand versions of yours and I would show them to all of my Neopets friends. I was looking at Neopets a few weeks ago and its so sad to see how dead everything is but oh my god I cannot believe I found you after like 12 years? 😭
It’s so weird to rediscover someone you used to stan on neopets? Loved your screenies when I was young and now that I’ve found your channel I love your new content as well 🖤
Watching this- it made me wish that i was alive at that time to experience it. The internet seemed simpler and the communities weren't as crazy. Plus i would have probably had been as obsessed with neo pets as you were Echo 😂
Dude I remember your comics on Neopets! Right down to the running joke about fearing llamas! Neopets was really my preferred reality as a kid and I was ingrained in the community, would routinely visit famous Neopians hoping they’d updated their Pet Pages. Good to see you’re still creating and enjoying the Internet 😻
I just found you from this video- (btw I'm subbing now- your stuck with me, hi.) And I've been dabbling in my early internet livelyness as of late too and about Gaia (which I say it the same at you do) has Zomg againnnnn which is super exciting 😄 Maybe I'll see you around the world sometime~
Sorry for commenting on a months' old video but wow, this popped out of nowhere in my recommendations and I finally got closure on what happened to Neko and the screenies. I was a huge fan back in the day and your screenies definitely inspired me to create my own original characters and comics. Man, I was wondering where you went for the longest time and now I finally know. Bless your heart, bless your art, and thank you for being one of younger me's biggest inspirations!
i’ve had you show up in my recommendeds before and maybe watched one of your vids before. today i got hit with a nostalgia wave about neopets artists like akakoneko and beachnut14. lo and behold i search akakoneko and HERE YOU ARE!! so glad to see youre still around and making fun stuff!!
I am literally screaming omg!!! I was obsessed with Neopets screenies back in the day. I loved your's so much. I recently went back to Neo for the nostalgia and you popped into my head. I did a quick google search to see if you still had those screenies up and stumbled upon this video. This is so wild!!!!!
... Well, that was trippy. First time viewer here. Clicked on this video because nostalgia, I was both a neopian and a Gaian a loonnnngggg time ago. As it turns out, I used to read your neopets comics and your screenies. Small world!
Saw Neopets and instantly clicked this video.. I've played that game since the very beginning, still sign onto it every now and then. I also saw your comics and I'm sure went to your petpage because they are very familiar.
Omg i remember being a fan of yours on neopets. I used to have the thing that links back to your screenies and everything! I screamed when I saw your old sona.
this video is like looking in a mirror for me. i was once in a guild on neopets for screenies, uploaded on all the petpages... amazing how thats what memes used to be. yours look really familiar, i probably used to browse them. and then gaia was a huge deal for me, commissions and all and then you went into photobucket and it's like. WOW! i heavily relate!!! and i say gaia the same way, i don't know how else it would be said.
So, I'm only four years younger than you and watching this video, I realized that when I was super into Neopets I was a huge fan of your screenies. Also, going through your Gaia and Deviantart stuff, I realize that I was also a fan of your art, but back then I didn't connect that your neopets account and your art accounts were both you. Now, I've found you on the internet again and only now have I realized that all of those yous are the same you. Coincidences, YAY!
God as a fellow soon-to-be 26 year-old (Nov. 22nd) that has ALSO spent most of her life online and continues to do so..... I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
I also spent years on neopets Everything you talked about was so nostalgic to my childhood. I also had pet pages for graphic designs and stuff. I made layouts for guilds Neopets was a great creative outlet.
Hmmm, that's pretty dope. I was "Shonen Wolf" on Gaia back in the day. Think I changed it to Boy Deldios but yeah. Saw some videos on how Gaia tanked via Hyperinflation. Seems like everyone was on Gaia. Didn't hear about Neopets until I hopped off that stuff altogether. Brutal. Glad I got out when the getting was good.
I recognized your Gaia avi from the thumbnail. I was pretty sure I did art for you a LONG time ago and sure enough I found it deep in the abyss that is my photobucket! Ah I can't believe our paths crossed (online) over a decade ago and I follow you on UA-cam now!
I am two years older than the internet and I also was obsessed with Neopets as a kid... some part of me inside is like "OMG SHE DREW FOR THE NEOPIAN TIMES :O" but I was super into the roleplaying forums and it led to me getting into writing short stories later on... blessed be neopets for letting young people do stuff ^-^
oh my god wait I've seen those screenies and comics before in my old neopets days!!! I never got around to actually posting any of my own but there's still a folder of screenshots ready to be made into screenies on my old desktop in my childhood home
I recognise the neopets comics 😂 I used to read neopian times every week and I’m pretty sure I remember that specific comic with Grundo, as well as your Purple hatted persona.
Lmao, I actually found your channel through your Neopets page. Eight year old weeb me absolutely loved your stuff that I even made a misspelled Japanese cat username just like you did. I still use it now just because of how long I've had it and too lazy to change it.
I remember NeoPets - used to spend hours there, playing their games. xD I think I had two accounts, haha, since I lost all the details to my first one. And Gaia - I don't go there anymore, I was there in 2016 last time or so, when I had a period of being into avatar sites. Thanks for sharing. Akakoneko! ;)
Neopets started my coding, which I continued when I moved to Gaia making layouts for profiles, signatures, and post layouts. The Barton Town roleplay threads were what started my love for writing. I love how certain websites tie in a whole community of people!!
oh man Gaia. I wandered back there just now because you mentioned it. I registered in 2005 and haven't done much on there since 2011 or 2012. I was super into the RP scene there (and made tons of great friends), but eventually the RP scene got really intense like 'write novel or you can't play with us'. So I left and every once in a while I check back when I feel like seeing an old part of my life that was kinda nice when a lot of other things were shitty.
I USED TO FOLLOW YOU holy hell! I've been hanging around the internet since i was like 6 (because my family didn't believe in supervision) and I followed you because of that naruto image!!!
OMG I USED To FOLLOW YOU ON ALL OF THOSE EXCEPT DEVIAN! I didn't even know because I haven't been on any if Those accounts for YEARS. no wonder I liked your channel so much 😂

My dad used to work for Gaia! It was so fun, he designed a lot of the items and characters, and he designed a lot of the actual website too.
Can you ask your dad wtf happened to Gaia?

neopets was basically 90s webkinz
I love your background .3.
I... was... there.... I remember reading your Neopets comics! I made screenies and wanted to send comics to the Neopian Times (never sent them) and had a Neopets emo band on one of my pet's pages. Nice to see somebody else who went through the same Neopets culture at that time hahahaa
Much love.

Oh geez, I remember your screenies. I was a little kid back then, and admittedly quite a fan. Nice to see where you are now, though!
RED AND BLACK the best colors in the world 🌎
aw!! i remember your screenies and seeing the "i'm a neko fan!" links on peoples' petpages. i'm glad to see you're still making content online!
Liking anime or manga is not a bad thing. ^…^
So, I'm only four years younger than you and watching this video, I realized that when I was super into Neopets I was a huge fan of your screenies.

Seems like everyone was on Gaia. Didn't hear about Neopets until I hopped off that stuff altogether.

Wait your 26 years old, that means you and Daniel Howell are the same age 😱😂😊❤️🖤❤️🖤
I recognized your Gaia avi from the thumbnail. I was pretty sure I did art for you a LONG time ago and sure enough I found it deep in the abyss that is my photobucket! Ah I can't believe our paths crossed (online) over a decade ago and I follow you on UA-cam now!
What drawing tablet did you use back then? Cause I know you were very poor but you still found a way to make good art online.
NUO probably with a mouse
A computer mouse and Microsoft Paint.
Echo Gillette I didn't know that you were 26 I thought you were 18

I feel like I remember you mentioning neopets before because I remember binge reading all of your screenies
I've never seen so much red and black in one background but I love it
ho boy I was super into screenie comics on neopets and I'm pretty certain I read yours too! Cool that you're still creating content!
I remember NeoPets - used to spend hours there, playing their games. xD I think I had two accounts, haha, since I lost all the details to my first one.
And Gaia - I don't go there anymore, I was there in 2016 last time or so, when I had a period of being into avatar sites.
Thanks for sharing. Akakoneko! ;)
Neopets started my coding, which I continued when I moved to Gaia making layouts for profiles, signatures, and post layouts. The Barton Town roleplay threads were what started my love for writing.
I love how certain websites tie in a whole community of people!!
oh man Gaia. I wandered back there just now because you mentioned it. I registered in 2005 and haven't done much on there since 2011 or 2012.
I was super into the RP scene there (and made tons of great friends), but eventually the RP scene got really intense like 'write novel or you can't play with us'. So I left and every once in a while I check back when I feel like seeing an old part of my life that was kinda nice when a lot of other things were shitty.
Omg I use to read your screenies religiously I can't believe that was you!!
I've only just found you but I THINK I LOVE YOU. You're so funny and down to earth and just cool. Totally looking at your other videos.
I USED TO FOLLOW YOU holy hell! I've been hanging around the internet since i was like 6 (because my family didn't believe in supervision) and I followed you because of that naruto image!!!
OMG I USED To FOLLOW YOU ON ALL OF THOSE EXCEPT DEVIAN! I didn't even know because I haven't been on any if Those accounts for YEARS. no wonder I liked your channel so much 😂
Omg I remember your comics on neopets! That's crazy!
I miss Neopets and Gaia T_T
Oh my god! Echo I used to follow your neopets I really liked it 😂😂😂 wow that's crazy!!
OH MY GOSH SHE WAS THE ONE TO MAKE THOSE. There are some pictures that I loved back in my weaboo peak and some of them were made by Echo!
Omj it's Kisame!!!!!!
He's my favorite character! I love you're work!
Omg I used to read your comics on neopets religiously back then and I just now found out that was you!
