Very touching documentary but you missed one crucial detail - Mousey's Cinnamoroll addiction and the fact that Connor seems to be accounting for at least half of the associated merchandising companies annual sales figures.
It shouldn't be understated just how much impact Ironmouse has left behind. She has a condition that keeps her bedridden but it doesn't stop her from doing what she loves most. That alone already makes her a VTuber legend in my eyes. ❤
@@JokerSoSerious18they said "a legend" not "the only legend" or "the greatest ever " I swear some holo only fans have the most toxic mindset only rivaled by nijisisters
Ironmouse has also had quite an impact outside of the VTubing world. She has quite literally *saved lives* : - She inspired other people with chronic conditions and illnesses to take up VTubing as a viable career choice, and gave strength to countless others. - Hospitals have reported a significant increase in plasma donations with a lot of new donors mentioning Ironmouse as the main reason they started donating. -Most importantly, largely due to the funds raised by Connor and her through their charity streams, the IDF successfully managed to *lobby congress for legislation that actually forces insurance companies to cover Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders* such as CVID, meaning people who suffer from such diseases no longer have to become destitute in order to live with their condition. The world really is a better place for having Ironmouse exist in it.
The third one is Mousey's strongest impact in my opinion. Imagine in the future, a law on improving PID diagnosis, treatment and coverage would be enacted and be named after her.
@@alonelysoul9071 Not trying to start anything here but feels kinda disingenuous mention only mouse when i think the third one is more because of connor than mouse, he raised a way more money for the idf than mouse herself more than 1.2 million and thanks to this funds they were able to lobby congress for the legislation. Also he has personal contact from the ceo and others staff members from the IDF they love connor he said they've been talking about how to better spread awareness about PID and everything, i think you should give credit not only to mouse but also connor.

And also comparing who raised more money is disingenuous when it was team effort
@@Vanilor10Connor has done a huge amount for the IDF, but what is equally important is the why he does such a huge amount. He went from 0 knowledge on the disease to learning a ton and being a significant contact for the org BECAUSE of mouse. She is his emotional/personal connection to the organization. Also she also helps raise money for the IDF sometimes
Also the funniest thing about the Connor connection. Before meeting Ironmouse, he was the least interested in VTubers out of all the trash taste hosts, but then got pulled the deepest into the rabbit hole.

As someone who struggled with immune issues my whole life and parents who just said suck it up and deal with it growing up I connected to Ironmouse when i 1st found her on twitch. I dealt with chronic sinus/ear infections and chronic bronchitis growing up and joint issues that made no sense but my parents just told me to get up and move it anyway. It took me getting in my 30's and finally not being able to work anymore for me find answers. Thankfully i found a doctor who listened to me a tested me for everything she could think of and I found out I have R.A aka rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and my doctor said based on medical history as a child....my parents should of helped me because she felt i had both since i was a kid and it had gotten so bad because I didn't get treatment when i needed it the most. When I had to finally leave the work force because of my mobility issues....i felt so lonely, useless, and a burden but i found Ironmouse and i felt inspired to not give up and i became a vtuber. I hope one day I can talk to her and tell her thank you for showing me i was not done yet and there was still something i could do. Thank you for making this video Rima.

Ngl, Ironmouse and CDawgVA IRL streams are probably the most sickly sweet things I've witnessed that it feels like it's straight out of a shoujo manga. Their friendship is an envy for lovers, and I say that sincerly.
It's why there's so much accusation they're dating lol. Like damn, dude treats her better than most men treat their actual GFs. Also why connor gets called a dumb harem protag as he's surrounded by close single female friends and never expresses romantic intention to any of them. Connor is just best guy fr fr
The fact that Mousey has a theater acting experience before her illness kicked in was quite impressive. If she wasn't wheelchair ridden, I wonder what path will she take? Probably Hololive. Can imagine her doing live 3d.
Ironmouse is, in my opinion, the embodiment of a Cinderella story. Her illness (CIVD) caused her to plunge into despair, but in that despair Ironmouse found the fairy (or devil in this case) that’d grant her an opportunity for only until midnight (or in this case until COVID had a vaccine), and she did as much as she could until that time. The result: Ironmouse managed to not only get the attention of some universally important people, but also managed to give her illness the middle finger that it deserved. And to that I say, thank you Ironmouse for being born.
Knowing how much mousey love disney and even applied to be a disney princess before (man is she overqualified frfr) I feel she reminds me more of a heroine from the many movies by studio Ghibli. Like Miyazaki Hayao once said and i quote “Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior.” This to me describes mousey so much better than a disney princess.
That was the very 1st clip of a Vtuber i ever saw, i was pulled into the rabbit hole at that very moment. I am just nearing my 3rd year sub aniversary to her now, She is amazing and i will support her as long as she streams.
during their flower park visit in 2023, if I remember correctly, she learned that she had Covid, and was in so much pain... but she pushed through and came out victorious. shes a recource of insipation for so many people, and I know she will keep being a ray of sunshine for everyone in whatever year we are with her dedication.
He probably meant covid. She was so scared it would kill her if she ever had it because of her cvid and she learned she caught it that very same day. Her covid lasted for months and she continued to stream through it all. Same a few months ago, she caught it again and although it slowed her stream frequency she keeps truckin'
@@CarlFox i ment covid, not her disease of CVID, but yt marks the comment as bad as it sees "covid" word in it... but since you want it so much here you go bro COVID.
Before the flower stream Mouse was tested and her doctors confirmed that she had caught COVID (not CVID her condition). She was terrified about the uncertainty having caught something severely harmful to someone with an auto immune disorder. She and Connor decided to go through with the stream, Connor making it even more special, to help her through getting such bad news. I can't watch it without crying knowing what she was going through then. Thankfully her doctors were prepared for this and went right to work to help her. She talked about all this on stream before.
I'm 45, I never would have thought I'd be into Vtubers but here we are. And Ironmouse is one of the first I got into and still watch her because she's hilarious. Plus she inspires even me, how can I complain when she pushes through it all? Makes me stop and think about what I can do!!
Watching her journey over the years has been nothing short of inspiring. I remember when she couldn't even attempt certain songs or could only stream a few hours a day. Now she got a treadmill and is doing physical therapy to regain her mobility. She's getting back everything life tried to take from her all the while making thousands smile.
@@inquisitorichijou883 its the only thing she can do just for CLOUT and Relevant Reasons. if she wants to destroy herself let her have it as she did this to herself.
@@inquisitorichijou883 She could just simply message Ironmouse for a collab or something. Of all the ways to get attention, this ain't it. Ain't worth it.
Same. At the start of the pandemic I found Connor's channel again, after five years of never having enough time to view content, and the first video I watched was one where Mousey destroyed him in Battleship. Over and over again. XD Was fantastic to see the haughty Welshman get trolled by a feisty Latinian. KEK
It's because of IronMouse that I'm pursuing my own dream of becoming an opera singer. After reading about everything that she's gone through in life, and then hearing her sing I thought to myself "If she can get that good in spite of everything, what's my excuse?" 💜💜 Much love and continued success to her.
Props to Rima for pumping out all these amazing videos so frequently to satisfy my UA-cam addiction! Only recently found you amidst all the black company drama but love all your amazing summary around vtubers in general!!!
It’s always a bit difficult to hear about Mouse and Conner’s exploits without the ceiling being in danger 🥲 Just the pure, genuine affection and care they have for each other. Def one of your best videos to date, excellent editing, script writing etc.
I have a lot of medical issues myself, nowhere near as debilitating as Ironmouse, but enough to make my life a struggle more often than not. Every time it gets to me and I start feeling sorry for myself or feeling frustrated over the crap I have to go through, it really does help to think about Mousey. Her ability to live through and despite her problems legit motivates me to do better and be thankful for all things I can still do, medical problems be damned.
Mousey's self-esteem is through the floor, so please continue to help uplifting her, until the day she truly sees and acknowledges that she truly is a hero and inspiration.
I like Ironmouse. I also can't wait for her upcoming collab with Nerissa Ravencroft. They'll probably set the house on fire if sing together. If they got IRys for a trio they'd set the whole world on fire with their talented voices!
@@trashyspeeds266Rima's previous video was a follow-up about Mikeneko. Her story has taken multiple bad turns. The original comment may have been about Nijisanji though which has been boiling over with controversy and bad press all year.
2:35 - Which has to be absolutely draining and devastating to an outgoing girl like Mousey, who had an active social life and was a former B Girl (aka, a recreational breakdancer). Like the whole world is unfolded before you only for your body to decide some day that you have to be stuck in bed forever, lest all but the most sterile interactions kill you out of nowhere. I can’t fathom it even as I type the gist of it out.
She's one strong VTuber. One strong streamer. She never gave up, never let anything stop her. Not her disease, not the negative criticism, not even Connor when he says to stop. [I cri at the flower park moment too]. She's someone everyone should have as a household name. If anyone is feeling down, tell them to watch ironmouse. Her smiles and laughs are all you need as you get back on your feet and move forward. We love her very much. Thanks for making this video, Rima the Horse.
Connor really is a bro. Helping out Mousey basically in every way he can. Showing her flowergardens and shrines that she always wanted to see. You did bring me to tears as well with those clips Rima . I did love the newyear stream of Mousey in Vr-chat. It was a bit clunky, using the vr-gear laying down, but they made it work. It was super sweet. I also love that Mousey doesn't let the CVID bring her down, making the most of the time she has. Bringing in achievement after achievement (also reaching 1 mill on UA-cam not long ago, eventhough she mainly streams on Twitch). The thing I hope is that she will be able to do that promise they made (Connor and Mousey) that: if Mousey is able to walk for longer periods of times, they can get that beer she always wanted to try. I love Mousey .
Ironmouse is one of those content creators that is just such a joy and inspiration that no one can say a bad thing about. Her streams are pure fun and her story is inspiring
This was an excellent video overall but I just have to call out your blatant SLANDER that Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, and King of all Demonkind is secretly some peasant named Connor.
Ironmouse is one of the reasons why I like Vtubers so much. Not only are they more fun that typical UA-camrs, they also allow people who would otherwise be unable to be successful due to illnesses and things like that, to actually be successful.
Great Video coverage ❤ Although there not much to talk about in terms of Legal matters, Legal Mindset would definitely enjoy this video as much as I did
Mouse was the first vtuber I every subbed to, and even just knew about before I got into vtubers. You forgot to mention how Connor continues to feed her cinnamoroll plush addiction
I went into this knowing more or less everything you were gonna talk about, but I still teared up multiple times throughout the video. She is a blessing to us all and we are blessed to be able to help her achieve her dreams and some level of normality in life. Thank you for another great video Rima. You're great!
Ironmouse is such an icon having such an impact on the streaming community, always loved how she sings, and la camisa negra cover is forever favorite~ mostly because Im from latin america
You have no idea how much I'm so glad Connor introduced me to Ironmouse. She's defeat all the odds and work hard than any other cc I know & I love Connor for achieving her bucket list dreams, its just so sweet man
It’s funny to me cause the people who shit on her for no reason are the same people who’d defend nijisanji based off of one shred of good vs the mountain of bad shit
Seeing her and Conner being best friends is adorable. She even gas a great siging voice. I am not sure but I believe she's collab with oodles of folks for singing not, just vshojo but even the UA-camr Dad. I also admire her wanting others to donate their plasma and to a charity for cvid and otger disorders.
I like to think Ironmouse considers her different models like different outfits, and that's why she has so many of them. If it makes her happy, then no compliants!
Mouse is the GOAT! It's bonkers how much Mouse has done with what life handed her. Thanks for making this video. 💙💙💙 OH, an of course Connor is the best, hes the friend we all wish we had. A true gigga chad.
I absolutely love the interactions between Mouse and CDawgVA. Whenever they collab, you're guaranteed some heart-felt moments, some ruthless trolling, Connor teasing Mouse to the point where she snaps, and some genuine encouragement. New viewers of CDawgVA and Ironmouse should delight in the fact that Connor is doing his THIRD cycle-thon across Japan starting on April 1st, 2024, again with funds all going to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (Ironmouse Defence Fund). For FOURTEEN DAYS this time around. 500K raised in the Cyclethon V2... hopefully a solid MILLION this year. And, as always, please consider DONATING PLASMA.
Hmm bubi and Connor are the same person? Explain how they are in the same place in mouseys unleashed video they are obviously 2 different people with 2 different voices /s
another insightful video, with care taken toward the subject of the video. I did not know a lot of these things about Ironmouse, and it makes me respect her so much. She rose through adversity and made it
Its missing the "Raise the Timer" clip from the subathon when it was at 1 day remaining and Cdawg/Bubi came on and did a speech. Well the Subathon went for quite a while after that.
13:50 FunFact: Did you know that someone once tracked down Ironmouse's home address by cross-referencing her complaints about delays with records of plasma shipments? Thankfully, it was just some normal guy who told her to be more careful and since she's stopped being so transparent about medical supply scheduling :Ü™
This was a beautiful video, thanks for this wholesome compilation of great mousey moments after all the misery this year has thrown at us... Thank you Rima!
19:00 - I gotta find that VOD! I was researching all things Sailor Moon years back and really gotta pick it the project up again. 19:24 - fun fact, Usagi described this wand as “hard like a hammer” in supplementary material (I forget which), implying she used it for handiwork at least once
Mousey is one of the most amazing people out there. She's so fricking strong. I love her so much. I learned to know her around peak nux taku era when he only made stuff on his main account. Mousey wasn't that big yet. Her vibing with nux and melody or being a guest at rant cafe anime podcast were highlights for me. Because of her i found so many new people to watch. The amount of joy i feel when i see her make her dreams come true. It's truly unbelievable.
She's my biggest creator inspiration. I'm not a vtuber but I've got rare chronic health issues and she taught us that you can push through it. She is a legendary person.
Just want to say, thanks for telling the stories of various VTubers. I never watched Ironmouse and I never would have known about her story if it wasn't for your channel! Truly inspiring to see what people can do despite their circumstances.
I honestly didn't know any of this stuff as I just started watching Ironmouse as she was name dropped by my favorite UA-camr Jesse Cox (who's waiting for her to guest star on Geekenders, get on that Mouse!) but wow, the things she went through, and Connor is such a wonderful guy. Y'all got me in tears over here!
Ironmouse is the most inspirational Vtuber of them all to me. For all that she has accomplished, to where she was to where she is now (especially health-wise), to those she have informed about CVID and her condition (give Plasma!), to the community she has fostered on the way - I don't think anyone compares. And to add to it - she's incredibly entertaining, loveable, and talented (what a voice!). If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Vtubing, I would probably put Kizuna Ai, Gura, and Ironmouse as the 3 sure things (maybe Marine or Susei for the 4th?).
I watched the video just now, and oof, this is just beautiful❤ Mousey did what many ppl would call impossible, she has amazing energy, and hey, if she will ever take part in opera as she dreamed, ppl will look at this genre with more interest, cuz she can lead them to something good
I personly explain ironmouses large collection off models, that I compare it too her wardrobe. You dont want to wear the same stuff every day, xou wear green on monday blue on thuesday etc. Even I as a man have special sets of shirts and combos I wear for different social groups and stuff.
been on a huge watch fest of your content, amazing btw, Brittany seems to be a some what consistent person in a lot of these stories and honestly i believe it's the fact someone behind a character has gone further than she has
Ironmouse is one of vtubers that I stuck with around the pandemic and I am so happy she is doing so so well with her life. I am still waiting for Connor and Mouse to have that beer one day. 🍻
Great job, Rima! I got a glimpse of Ironmouse when she interacted with Asmongold, but I didn't know anything about her amazing story until I saw this little documentary/biography you've produced! So, I have you to thank for introducing me to the real Ironmouse! 🤗🥳
Whatever is happening with Ironmouse's voice, her friend Corpse Husband seems to have inverse happening. Both have chronic medical issues, but they seem to have left Mouse with only the highest pitch part of her vocal cords functional while Corpse has only the low pitch portion. Mouse might have already been high pitched before this happened for all we know, but now she's incapable of hitting the lower tones. Exception: She recently demonstrated an ability to go low enough to sing Shakira songs for brief stints.
oh god now I’M actually crying over CDawg and Ironmouse’s traveling to other places and seeing how genuinely joyful she feels being to these places for the first time. This might be my transition to the Ironmouse community lmao
Fun fact I learned from watching her streams way back in Feb-March 2020, she hinted that she originally started streaming without an avatar on you now, opted to switch to use one after getting comments about all her medical equipment being visible. The beginning of her big rise started when Projekt Melody raided her channel from offsite, which I think is why she would get so emotional when talking with Melody around each of their birthdays. I'm happy that I was able to see her grow from a two-view into what she is now, and even happier to know that her success has had a positive impact on her health. Not to minimize the stress it more than likely caused, her becoming a twitch partner was delayed because she was she got botted with ~120k followers; sadly getting botted was a somewhat common occurrence in the early days.
Good evening! I learned about Iron Mouse's work as a vtuber from a Brazilian vtuber clip channel. But I knew little about her life. She is an example to follow, even with her health problems she hasn't given up. All the support she gives to institutions that look after people with my problem (with the money I don't have at the moment, I would have done the same). And this is what we know today. You can't help but like Iron Mouse. Connor 'CDawgVA' is an angel that God has placed in Iron mouse's life, what he does for her is beyond words. God bless him and Iron mouse and much success to them both.
She was the first vtuber I watched an entire stream, saw her in a clip speaking sassy Spanish and... Ay Dios mio is too funny. Later I saw the amount of people doign the vtuber thing but few have a memorable personality imo. What is more incredible, after some time I connected the dots and understood many references of her in memes and other content creators and everything in a wholesome vibe.
Man, Ironmouse's journey was incredible! She is such a beacon of pure positivity and sheer determination. I had only stayed in a bed for 3 days at most, which was over a decade ago, so i couldn't even imagine the issues she is having. Such a cinnamonroll! If it makes sense of me to say: how about a video to Yagoo aka Motoaki Tanigo next? He just had his second grand appearance in a large crowd, being celebrated like a star.

@@Menuki I didn't ask a question?
The fact that Mousey has a theater acting experience before her illness kicked in was quite impressive. If she wasn't wheelchair ridden, I wonder what path will she take? Probably Hololive. Can imagine her doing live 3d.
Well she wanted to become an opera singer and she has already done multiple 3D solo concerts. One of them is quite recent u should check it out!
Ironmouse is, in my opinion, the embodiment of a Cinderella story. Her illness (CIVD) caused her to plunge into despair, but in that despair Ironmouse found the fairy (or devil in this case) that’d grant her an opportunity for only until midnight (or in this case until COVID had a vaccine), and she did as much as she could until that time. The result: Ironmouse managed to not only get the attention of some universally important people, but also managed to give her illness the middle finger that it deserved. And to that I say, thank you Ironmouse for being born.
Knowing how much mousey love disney and even applied to be a disney princess before (man is she overqualified frfr) I feel she reminds me more of a heroine from the many movies by studio Ghibli. Like Miyazaki Hayao once said and i quote “Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior.” This to me describes mousey so much better than a disney princess.
CVID, not Covid. Also I don't think a vaccine is possible since it's largely a genetic disorder (her parents were relatively old when they had her).
CVID is not COVID
@@mirzis I know. I was talking about how COVID further made things difficult for Mouse to receive plasma.
One amazing moment was that one stream that she had a donations goal to buy a new bed and the goal was achieved in like 2 minutes.
That was the very 1st clip of a Vtuber i ever saw, i was pulled into the rabbit hole at that very moment. I am just nearing my 3rd year sub aniversary to her now, She is amazing and i will support her as long as she streams.
@@kinglicks5646 Exactly the same for me, it's been amazing to see her grow.
during their flower park visit in 2023, if I remember correctly, she learned that she had Covid, and was in so much pain... but she pushed through and came out victorious. shes a recource of insipation for so many people, and I know she will keep being a ray of sunshine for everyone in whatever year we are with her dedication.
I think she's known that she had CVID well before 2023...
He probably meant covid. She was so scared it would kill her if she ever had it because of her cvid and she learned she caught it that very same day. Her covid lasted for months and she continued to stream through it all. Same a few months ago, she caught it again and although it slowed her stream frequency she keeps truckin'
@@CarlFox i ment covid, not her disease of CVID, but yt marks the comment as bad as it sees "covid" word in it... but since you want it so much here you go bro COVID.
Covid*
Before the flower stream Mouse was tested and her doctors confirmed that she had caught COVID (not CVID her condition). She was terrified about the uncertainty having caught something severely harmful to someone with an auto immune disorder.
She and Connor decided to go through with the stream, Connor making it even more special, to help her through getting such bad news.
I can't watch it without crying knowing what she was going through then.
Thankfully her doctors were prepared for this and went right to work to help her.
She talked about all this on stream before.
I'm 45, I never would have thought I'd be into Vtubers but here we are. And Ironmouse is one of the first I got into and still watch her because she's hilarious. Plus she inspires even me, how can I complain when she pushes through it all? Makes me stop and think about what I can do!!
Watching her journey over the years has been nothing short of inspiring. I remember when she couldn't even attempt certain songs or could only stream a few hours a day. Now she got a treadmill and is doing physical therapy to regain her mobility. She's getting back everything life tried to take from her all the while making thousands smile.
Brittany Venti says the dumbest things ever with minimal to zero evidence whatsoever. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
shes just hardcore baiting its been her schtick for a long while now
She's an attention seeker who tries to scrape clicks off of saying outrageous things about Ironmouse.
@@inquisitorichijou883 its the only thing she can do just for CLOUT and Relevant Reasons. if she wants to destroy herself let her have it as she did this to herself.
@@akito9897 That's just sad, to resort to accusations like this for attention.
@@inquisitorichijou883 She could just simply message Ironmouse for a collab or something. Of all the ways to get attention, this ain't it. Ain't worth it.
Frail as a mouse yet strong as iron, thanks for the amazing video on the GOAT mousey 👏👏👏
Her name is even inspirational, small and fragile, as a mouse, but a will as strong as Iron.
Also being a sailor moon reference
Ironmouse’s story is proof that the internet wasn’t a complete mistake.
Ironmouse got me into Vtubers. Her content will always be special to me.
Same I 1st saw Vtubers through her clips and I’m really glad I watched it because iv seen a lot of new creators I love to watch now because of her❤😊🎉
Same. At the start of the pandemic I found Connor's channel again, after five years of never having enough time to view content, and the first video I watched was one where Mousey destroyed him in Battleship. Over and over again. XD
Was fantastic to see the haughty Welshman get trolled by a feisty Latinian. KEK
It's because of IronMouse that I'm pursuing my own dream of becoming an opera singer. After reading about everything that she's gone through in life, and then hearing her sing I thought to myself "If she can get that good in spite of everything, what's my excuse?" 💜💜 Much love and continued success to her.
Hope it goes well for you ^.^
Props to Rima for pumping out all these amazing videos so frequently to satisfy my UA-cam addiction! Only recently found you amidst all the black company drama but love all your amazing summary around vtubers in general!!!
Tysm
It’s always a bit difficult to hear about Mouse and Conner’s exploits without the ceiling being in danger 🥲 Just the pure, genuine affection and care they have for each other.
Def one of your best videos to date, excellent editing, script writing etc.
I have a lot of medical issues myself, nowhere near as debilitating as Ironmouse, but enough to make my life a struggle more often than not. Every time it gets to me and I start feeling sorry for myself or feeling frustrated over the crap I have to go through, it really does help to think about Mousey. Her ability to live through and despite her problems legit motivates me to do better and be thankful for all things I can still do, medical problems be damned.
That's enough to make a grow man cry
And that’s ok 😢
Ironmouse truly is the Embodiment of "power"
Just wanted to send this to let you know vids like this ARE worth doing! Good for the mental health too I'm sure. *nodders*
Aww tysm i would like to tell more inspirational stories like this. Tysm for the super 💜
Mousey's self-esteem is through the floor, so please continue to help uplifting her, until the day she truly sees and acknowledges that she truly is a hero and inspiration.
I like Ironmouse.
I also can't wait for her upcoming collab with Nerissa Ravencroft. They'll probably set the house on fire if sing together. If they got IRys for a trio they'd set the whole world on fire with their talented voices!
They’re gonna shake the earth
or imagine Ironmouse , Nerissa, and Risu. if the 3 sang together, I'm die, thank you forever.
Glad to see a nice video coming out about a vtuber while all this stuff is going on
More to come!
@@rimaevenstarreally gald❤😊🎉
What stuff?
@@trashyspeeds266Rima's previous video was a follow-up about Mikeneko. Her story has taken multiple bad turns. The original comment may have been about Nijisanji though which has been boiling over with controversy and bad press all year.
@@trashyspeeds266 @lordzaboem yep most vtuber news this year was about those situations to this is a nice change of paste
2:35 - Which has to be absolutely draining and devastating to an outgoing girl like Mousey, who had an active social life and was a former B Girl (aka, a recreational breakdancer). Like the whole world is unfolded before you only for your body to decide some day that you have to be stuck in bed forever, lest all but the most sterile interactions kill you out of nowhere. I can’t fathom it even as I type the gist of it out.
She's one strong VTuber.
One strong streamer.
She never gave up, never let anything stop her.
Not her disease, not the negative criticism, not even Connor when he says to stop.
[I cri at the flower park moment too].
She's someone everyone should have as a household name.
If anyone is feeling down, tell them to watch ironmouse.
Her smiles and laughs are all you need as you get back on your feet and move forward.
We love her very much.
Thanks for making this video, Rima the Horse.
Connor really is a bro. Helping out Mousey basically in every way he can. Showing her flowergardens and shrines that she always wanted to see. You did bring me to tears as well with those clips Rima .
I did love the newyear stream of Mousey in Vr-chat. It was a bit clunky, using the vr-gear laying down, but they made it work. It was super sweet.
I also love that Mousey doesn't let the CVID bring her down, making the most of the time she has. Bringing in achievement after achievement (also reaching 1 mill on UA-cam not long ago, eventhough she mainly streams on Twitch).
The thing I hope is that she will be able to do that promise they made (Connor and Mousey) that: if Mousey is able to walk for longer periods of times, they can get that beer she always wanted to try.
I love Mousey .
Ironmouse is one of those content creators that is just such a joy and inspiration that no one can say a bad thing about. Her streams are pure fun and her story is inspiring
This was an excellent video overall but I just have to call out your blatant SLANDER that Infernal Beelzebub Anarchia Cruul de Apokalypsi, the Opposite of Divine, Prince of Suffering and Torment, Master of all Sin, Conqueror of the Underworld, and King of all Demonkind is secretly some peasant named Connor.
😂
good lord I had no idea Ironmouse had such brutal medical issues. What an absolute champ
Ironmouse is one of the reasons why I like Vtubers so much. Not only are they more fun that typical UA-camrs, they also allow people who would otherwise be unable to be successful due to illnesses and things like that, to actually be successful.
Great Video coverage ❤ Although there not much to talk about in terms of Legal matters, Legal Mindset would definitely enjoy this video as much as I did
Aww omg thank you so much for the super 🥺
@@rimaevenstar welcome 😁 Your my favorite documentary/news Vtuber 💖
Mouse was the first vtuber I every subbed to, and even just knew about before I got into vtubers. You forgot to mention how Connor continues to feed her cinnamoroll plush addiction
Ironmouse pretends to be a devil, but she is just a cute little angel
lol in her lore she’s acutely a fallen angel
SHe's both our angle and our debil
Ironmouse travelling with Connor is the cutest thing I've seen in a little while.
I went into this knowing more or less everything you were gonna talk about, but I still teared up multiple times throughout the video.
She is a blessing to us all and we are blessed to be able to help her achieve her dreams and some level of normality in life.
Thank you for another great video Rima. You're great!
i guess venti never got the memo: "Spreading hate won't make you healthier, but it'll definitely make you uglier." cuzz uhhh...
Mousey in the bycicle basket was just adorable.
Man, i've been following Mouse's career since early 2018 makes me really happy to see all she managed to achieve
Ironmouse my beloved
Didn't really know ironmouse's sorry, so thanks for this story
Ahh our favorite little demon mascot Buhbee XD, Great video Rima thanks for covering this!
Ironmouse is such an icon having such an impact on the streaming community, always loved how she sings, and la camisa negra cover is forever favorite~ mostly because Im from latin america
You have no idea how much I'm so glad Connor introduced me to Ironmouse. She's defeat all the odds and work hard than any other cc I know & I love Connor for achieving her bucket list dreams, its just so sweet man
I should have known Iron mouse was a fan of Sailor Moon.
She is probably also one of the biggest Kamen Rider and super Sentai (aka Power Rangers) fans ever next to that and Cinnamoroll from sanrio.
Bro, she literally named herself after a Sailor Moon character😂
It’s funny to me cause the people who shit on her for no reason are the same people who’d defend nijisanji based off of one shred of good vs the mountain of bad shit
I'm so glad I watched this, I didn't know her backstory before hand, now that I do I love her content even more than I did before ❤
Seeing her and Conner being best friends is adorable. She even gas a great siging voice. I am not sure but I believe she's collab with oodles of folks for singing not, just vshojo but even the UA-camr Dad. I also admire her wanting others to donate their plasma and to a charity for cvid and otger disorders.
That was such a touching video! Rima, that was one of the best videos you've done, and my hat's off to Ironmouse. She is an amazing inspiration.
Great video! I only started hearing about Ironmouse after she already started blowing up, so it was good to get some context
I like to think Ironmouse considers her different models like different outfits, and that's why she has so many of them.
If it makes her happy, then no compliants!
Mouse is the GOAT! It's bonkers how much Mouse has done with what life handed her. Thanks for making this video. 💙💙💙 OH, an of course Connor is the best, hes the friend we all wish we had. A true gigga chad.
I absolutely love the interactions between Mouse and CDawgVA. Whenever they collab, you're guaranteed some heart-felt moments, some ruthless trolling, Connor teasing Mouse to the point where she snaps, and some genuine encouragement.
New viewers of CDawgVA and Ironmouse should delight in the fact that Connor is doing his THIRD cycle-thon across Japan starting on April 1st, 2024, again with funds all going to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (Ironmouse Defence Fund). For FOURTEEN DAYS this time around.
500K raised in the Cyclethon V2... hopefully a solid MILLION this year. And, as always, please consider DONATING PLASMA.
Great work Rima.
Also, interesting theory that Bubi is really CDawgVa. All this time, I thought it was Sydsnap.
You left off the "/s" on your comment, there. :D
Hmm bubi and Connor are the same person? Explain how they are in the same place in mouseys unleashed video they are obviously 2 different people with 2 different voices /s
Could be
We all know Ironmouse is actually Chris Broad.
@@leoscrymgeour5881 The maaaagic of audio editing. 🤣
Ironmouse is such an amazing creator and such an inspiring person. Great video, and donate plasma everyone!
another insightful video, with care taken toward the subject of the video. I did not know a lot of these things about Ironmouse, and it makes me respect her so much. She rose through adversity and made it
Its missing the "Raise the Timer" clip from the subathon when it was at 1 day remaining and Cdawg/Bubi came on and did a speech. Well the Subathon went for quite a while after that.
13:50 FunFact: Did you know that someone once tracked down Ironmouse's home address by cross-referencing her complaints about delays with records of plasma shipments? Thankfully, it was just some normal guy who told her to be more careful and since she's stopped being so transparent about medical supply scheduling :Ü™
Oh so that’s why she stopped talking about that. That’s scary
This was a beautiful video, thanks for this wholesome compilation of great mousey moments after all the misery this year has thrown at us... Thank you Rima!
What the heck. Ive been crying from the beginning. Her story just hits me.
19:00 - I gotta find that VOD! I was researching all things Sailor Moon years back and really gotta pick it the project up again.
19:24 - fun fact, Usagi described this wand as “hard like a hammer” in supplementary material (I forget which), implying she used it for handiwork at least once
Mousey is one of the most amazing people out there.
She's so fricking strong. I love her so much.
I learned to know her around peak nux taku era when he only made stuff on his main account. Mousey wasn't that big yet. Her vibing with nux and melody or being a guest at rant cafe anime podcast were highlights for me. Because of her i found so many new people to watch.
The amount of joy i feel when i see her make her dreams come true. It's truly unbelievable.
Thanks!
Thank you so much jamey!
She's my biggest creator inspiration. I'm not a vtuber but I've got rare chronic health issues and she taught us that you can push through it.
She is a legendary person.
Just want to say, thanks for telling the stories of various VTubers. I never watched Ironmouse and I never would have known about her story if it wasn't for your channel! Truly inspiring to see what people can do despite their circumstances.
Connor is an awesome guy. Props to him.
I honestly didn't know any of this stuff as I just started watching Ironmouse as she was name dropped by my favorite UA-camr Jesse Cox (who's waiting for her to guest star on Geekenders, get on that Mouse!) but wow, the things she went through, and Connor is such a wonderful guy. Y'all got me in tears over here!
This story is so special.
Again a wonderful video!
I'm in tears.
I've followed Mouse since the season 1/twitch sings days and I've never regretted that choice
Another amazing video. Thank you for all that you do for the vtuber community~
This video convinced me to watch their livestream together cuz i didn’t expect to cry at the end of the video😂
Ironmouse is the most inspirational Vtuber of them all to me. For all that she has accomplished, to where she was to where she is now (especially health-wise), to those she have informed about CVID and her condition (give Plasma!), to the community she has fostered on the way - I don't think anyone compares. And to add to it - she's incredibly entertaining, loveable, and talented (what a voice!). If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Vtubing, I would probably put Kizuna Ai, Gura, and Ironmouse as the 3 sure things (maybe Marine or Susei for the 4th?).
If you think about it, ironmouse was the first English speaking vtuber, Think she said she was only streaming to 2 people in 2017, So crazy wow
Thank you so much for this video. I always want to tell everyone I know the story of Ironmouse and this makes it so much easier to share.
I watched the video just now, and oof, this is just beautiful❤ Mousey did what many ppl would call impossible, she has amazing energy, and hey, if she will ever take part in opera as she dreamed, ppl will look at this genre with more interest, cuz she can lead them to something good
I personly explain ironmouses large collection off models, that I compare it too her wardrobe. You dont want to wear the same stuff every day, xou wear green on monday blue on thuesday etc.
Even I as a man have special sets of shirts and combos I wear for different social groups and stuff.
And on wednesdays we wear pink
been on a huge watch fest of your content, amazing btw, Brittany seems to be a some what consistent person in a lot of these stories and honestly i believe it's the fact someone behind a character has gone further than she has
My respect for Ironmouse, she really fought against her odds and came out victorious.
Ironmouse is one of vtubers that I stuck with around the pandemic and I am so happy she is doing so so well with her life. I am still waiting for Connor and Mouse to have that beer one day. 🍻
I never knew Ironmouse was this awesome, wow.
Great job, Rima! I got a glimpse of Ironmouse when she interacted with Asmongold, but I didn't know anything about her amazing story until I saw this little documentary/biography you've produced! So, I have you to thank for introducing me to the real Ironmouse! 🤗🥳
Thank you so much for making inspiring videos! In a world full of drama, it's wonderful to see some positive discourse vtubers. Subbing immediately!
Whatever is happening with Ironmouse's voice, her friend Corpse Husband seems to have inverse happening. Both have chronic medical issues, but they seem to have left Mouse with only the highest pitch part of her vocal cords functional while Corpse has only the low pitch portion. Mouse might have already been high pitched before this happened for all we know, but now she's incapable of hitting the lower tones. Exception: She recently demonstrated an ability to go low enough to sing Shakira songs for brief stints.
cant wait for the next video of yours, those are soo amazing and also love your thumbnails they look pretty good
oh god now I’M actually crying over CDawg and Ironmouse’s traveling to other places and seeing how genuinely joyful she feels being to these places for the first time. This might be my transition to the Ironmouse community lmao
Love the video, Rima. Keep at it!
Fun fact I learned from watching her streams way back in Feb-March 2020, she hinted that she originally started streaming without an avatar on you now, opted to switch to use one after getting comments about all her medical equipment being visible. The beginning of her big rise started when Projekt Melody raided her channel from offsite, which I think is why she would get so emotional when talking with Melody around each of their birthdays. I'm happy that I was able to see her grow from a two-view into what she is now, and even happier to know that her success has had a positive impact on her health. Not to minimize the stress it more than likely caused, her becoming a twitch partner was delayed because she was she got botted with ~120k followers; sadly getting botted was a somewhat common occurrence in the early days.
Good evening!
I learned about Iron Mouse's work as a vtuber from a Brazilian vtuber clip channel.
But I knew little about her life.
She is an example to follow, even with her health problems she hasn't given up.
All the support she gives to institutions that look after people with my problem (with the money I don't have at the moment, I would have done the same).
And this is what we know today.
You can't help but like Iron Mouse.
Connor 'CDawgVA' is an angel that God has placed in Iron mouse's life, what he does for her is beyond words.
God bless him and Iron mouse and much success to them both.
She was the first vtuber I watched an entire stream, saw her in a clip speaking sassy Spanish and... Ay Dios mio is too funny. Later I saw the amount of people doign the vtuber thing but few have a memorable personality imo. What is more incredible, after some time I connected the dots and understood many references of her in memes and other content creators and everything in a wholesome vibe.
Omg this video literally brought me to tears, you just earned a sub
Man, Ironmouse's journey was incredible! She is such a beacon of pure positivity and sheer determination. I had only stayed in a bed for 3 days at most, which was over a decade ago, so i couldn't even imagine the issues she is having. Such a cinnamonroll!
If it makes sense of me to say: how about a video to Yagoo aka Motoaki Tanigo next? He just had his second grand appearance in a large crowd, being celebrated like a star.
