- Aphmau has made so many great stories and I hope one day she will continue.
In this video, I will be talking about if Jess, or Aphmau, will ever make a roleplay ever again.
#Aphmau - Розваги
Honestly it makes me heartbroken. I remember her roleplays were a huge part of my childhood and I was obsessed with it growing up. It’s a shame
Same, mostly Minecraft Diaries and Mystreet. They were everything I used to watch 😞
@@zxxRyuxxz Same
same
Same but it's her choice not ours
@@-yasmean- yes but I do hope she makes another
I think the main problem on why her roleplay stories went down was because she tried to focus on too many different stories at one time and kept on bringing new stories while leaving the old ones which the audiences had long invested in, hanging. I get that writer’s block happens but right after MCD, new series with new characters kept on popping out of nowhere which made things hard for her audience to actually enjoy watching em.
I think it's because she tried to make another hit with her short stories, similarly to how Mystreet began. You could pitch writers block for sure, but as a writer myself I think the issue is having far too many ideas with no real substance to them. Basically she made one-shot fanfics for her own characters. The ideas were fun, but didn't really go anywhere, and that couldn't have helped with her writers block. (For any of my fellow authors out there here's a tip for this issue: try implementing your spin-off ideas into your main focus somehow if you can, if your world isn't big enough make it bigger, this will keep your interest, and keep you focused at the same time. Jess' worlds were large enough to do this if she truly wanted to, I think the only issue would be that it would be Aphmau's pov.)
I watched pdh, mcd, pdd, that mermaid one, and the fantasy vr game one
I was so excited to see where she took the vr one, because it checked off all my aesthetic interests
Too bad she’ll never finish them ;w;
@uwuAmber Honestly I agree thats how I feel I mainly thought I grew old out of her roleplays but once I saw MCD (Minecraft diaries) again I completely knew that I could never get over her series again and I do hope one day or who knows when but I do hope she will continue MCD again I still some what have hope.
Its called dreams of estererosa and i also loved that one its ashame that the quality dropped because of the hole blue ray studio things
the demons show literally brought her ENTIRE channel down
another thing for why aphmau's last roleplay flopped was because it focussed on characters that we had never heard of, in a universe full of characters that we were already emotionally attached to. the characters that we loved were delegated to side characters.
Not to mention it was absolutely boring as HECK. I don't know about anyone else, but none of the characters had any likeable traits. They were all moody, sarcastic teenagers with pathetic or insincere goals. There was nothing truly investing about it. The art style was also extremely uncanny and off putting. And to build off what you said, the changing of the school made everything feel so unfamiliar, like a reboot.
I would disagree. I know the demons roleplay was out on a ledge but like. It had so much potential. A season two would have been incredible, especially sent in the demon realm. The world building potential. The MCD remake? That was amazing. I know Heartpoint wasn't very well received and I didn't watch it until it was finished but geninuely I really enjoyed it. I wish she hadn't privated it.
I mean, I could have just been the target audience but like. There was potential. A lot of it and I just have never been able to find another mc roleplay series that caught my attention like hers
@@neonpinkqueen1403 i agree, all three of those had great potential but when i said 'last roleplay' i was referring to Pheonix Drop High Days. like, can you tell me one interesting plot point from that series?
@@trinityharrison939 It was probably one of those shorter role plays that Aphmau just was inspired to do, she can’t keep using the same characters forever In roleplays.
@@trinityharrison939 Not all shows need to have loud in your face plot points. It was a cute little high school romance.
Even if she never made another roleplay again, I just wish we would be told what the endings of the stories were supposed to be, so we can at least have an ounce of closure.
Maybe a book?
@@Aceshot-uu7yx Yeah! I was originally going to say that actually, but I figured since she stopped her roleplays it would still be considered a lot of work and she wouldn't write the books either. /gen I'd love it if she wrote the books instead. Maybe even prefer it over watching the roleplays, don't get me wrong I love her roleplays so much, but I feel the imagination her stories have the potential to give might be even more enjoyable.
Agreed i just want to know what happened to the characters that i used to be obsessed with
For real, she should do that, it would be the bare minimum. I need closure about what happened with MCD, like what was her original idea for the series because it didn’t go how she planned and that’s why she rewrote it :/
That's what I'm saying, as an artist and story teller i could never imagine having the fan base she does and just never finishing the story even if that means it's as something as basically a Google doc form with how it ends (which i would pay to have at this point) plus it's not like she couldn't continue the roleplays she would have to make them audio dramas which i think wouldn't be to bad
Here’s the thing… when you ask most of her voice actors about this exact topic. They will blantly stay to you they haven’t talked to Jessica in years. They haven’t been reached out to do another voice line in a very long time either. Usually those things will take time and he will reach out to voice actors months before you actually do it especially with bigger projects. Melissa from my street season six was a very big part going into Season seven end when you ask her Cons if she’s going to be returning. Because you know she has a very big part in that. She says no that Jessica hasn’t reached out to her about any future role-plays in the works. If you ask Andy Garroths Voice actor he said he’s moved on and won’t talk much on it. So yeah I think it’s pretty clear she won’t be returning. It’s sad to me that she kind of just left her old audience for a dead she left without ever saying that she’s going to be holding there’s no plans right now instead she just kind of leaves and wants suspense and with how her new content is going and how she has toys on shelves and actual stores in America I don’t understand why people don’t see that she’s most likely not going to just switch her content that makes her a lot money. She the number one UA-camr on the platform as well and his inspired UA-camrs to start doing the same type of content like Mithzan and a few other of her old friends.
I agree, especially with the newer content making her money and getting her views it doesn't seem like we'll see another roleplay. The one thing I really don't like is how she hasn't mentioned anything about roleplays happening or not happening leaving the viewers from the roleplays in the dark either staying hoping something will happen or unsubscribing. I believe she could make some type of roleplay if she wanted even if it wouldn't be the best since I've been seeing alot of good mcrps come out recently. But who knows maybe one day the roleplays will be back.
I do kinda agree agree with that but she has brought gean back and uhm yeah
@@cheetah-haza3128 gene isn’t in the series lol all of the characters that are major to get stories are no longer apart of the team
@@RariaRoyal I mean Laurence kinda is
@@RariaRoyal oh and EIN
Finally someone is saying this out loud… I used to make aphmau content had close to 4K but once I stopped I lost a lot of subs. I started talking to people after realizing Aphmas content on making RPs would never come back.
I'm sorry that you lost subs. I used to make Aphmau content and stopped as well. I'm not even subcribed to Aphmau anymore because of the type of content she does. Still, I hope that maybe there will be a time where she uploads a few short stories again. I hope you can keep making content and end up growing your channel! Good luck! :)
@@WriteItOut Yeah I'm fine with just short stories and one short story I loved was the DandD one.
My sister and I were talking about this a few days ago, we were geeking out on aphmau lore and started to speak about her more recent content. At some point she had to choose between making stuff for very small kids and continuing the stuff she was doing. She chose the former. The last Aphmau story we watched was My Inner Demons, after that I just fell out. We still rewatch diaries and mystreet every now and then but we've separated it from what she does now.
@@WriteItOut I’m still subbed at 16 years old because I’m holding out hope that she might bring it back or even just post an explanation video
oof i feel that, i used to do reactions which did pretty decent numbers but since the rps stopped and i've moved to other content it's dipped significantly
it is what it is tho i suppose
I just really miss her old content, not just the rps but the times where she would just play with her friends. Some of my favorite videos of hers are the hide and seek ones. Especially the older ones with Ross!
I really miss the old videos with max and ross! That was my personal favorite era of Aphmau
My favorites were the "Never Have I Ever" and the "Human Fall Flat" videos
@@lolcandyyy same, i really loved "Never Have I Ever".
Same, I'm not gonna be upset about having the roleplays stop but I really miss the times where they just played and I miss the old characters .
i miss the pokemon ones, like really really miss them, i remember watching the whole pixelmon survival series and now re-watching it, i also dont miss just the series i actually also miss satiel and castor
Being a mom has taken her down the path she is on now, I believe. Yeah, covid had a lot to do with production of RP's, but I think she found the fun quirky short videos appealed to most of subs and gained her more subs. This gave her more time with her kids, because the content she is doing now, is in all honesty for kids, which is great if you're a kid. The more mature fans (queengranny) are left hanging on a very extended cliffhanger, My Street, Diaries, Dreams of Estoria, were our kind of videos and are truly missed. I'm over the heartache, I have watched other RP's burn out too, so maybe the days of story telling are coming to an end, which is one of the saddest thing on earth.
whats sad to me us she didnt use to care abt subs :( she made rps bc she enjoyed them. maybe fame has consumed her idk
couldnt have said it better 😭
yes😭
Yea sucks to sucks...when time comes there's change, and it can go in many directions
@@vvomitt
It's just life. She has kids to take care of, it's obvious that she'd choose something that makes more money and allows her to spend more time with them. Unfortunate, but that's just how it is.
I grew up watching Diaries, and I don’t know about anyone else but I definitely saw her passion for making MCD videos decline after her decided love interest became Aaron. The “Larmau vs Garmau” shippers became one big mob of angry fans who couldn’t understand why she abandoned both characters. I never really liked the idea of Aarmau, but I can definitely see how it caused her to prioritize Mystreet over Dreams of Estorra, Diaries, and other role plays. She wanted to push Aarmau as far as possible, and honestly I think that’s the real reason why Laurance stopped showing up in the role plays. I feel like Laurance was a threat to Aaron’s character in MCD because he had such a close bond with Aphmau after Garroth was sent to the Irene Dimension. Same with Garroth. Garroth went from being an intelligent, eloquent, and mature character to a side character that people poke fun at. It just ruined the attachment with the characters that so many OG fans loved.
no literally. i remember i loved garroths character just because he was so calm and stoic and collected in minecraft diaries (at least first couple seasons) but now they turned him into a bumbling idiot, i really miss old aphmau tbh but i understand she has to move on
yes to both these comments!! idk if its just me but i feel like the quiet and mature qualities of mcd garroths character were given to aaron in mystreet. i also really liked laurance, in contrast to garroth he could be humorous and less uptight. when im 80, ill probably still be pondering who she would've gotten with if aaron didnt show up
100% agree, I really feel like she changed the plot to push Aphmau being with Aaron which really sucks. She threw away years of development between Laurance and Garroth.
I remember watching the MCD episode where Garroth tells Aphmau that he felt like an idiot for caring about her because she threw away her relationship to Aaron when both Garroth and Laurance were always there with her from the start and she even egged them on to believe she liked them. And there were thousands upon thousands of people who said Garroth was being a cry baby and was making up lies, when actually, he was very much right. Whenever Aphmau was in the Irene dimension with Garroth, they flirted. Laurance has been there protecting her and her boys that whole time and she led him on always. But the second she gets an opportunity alone with Aaron, she says something alone the lines of “the heat of the moment got to us” and she becomes pregnant with his child.
I don’t blame Laurance for leaving, and I don’t blame Garroth for telling her off. Aphmau intentionally altered the story that had been going on for years to suddenly fit this new ship she wanted which was so abruptly added in that she had to use the excuse of “heat of the moment”. That’s when she lost me tbh, she stopped caring about her story and only about her ship, that’s why she switched to Mystreet and other rps because she could fit Aarmau into them better.
Exactly! While rewatching the series in the past week, I remembered watching Garroth when I was younger and vouching hard for Garmau because he was her knight, loyal from the beginning, took care of serious affairs and such. When we saw his face, then Zane was introduced, then Kiki got some amulet... it was all great and I loved it but then Laurance came in which kind of reminded me of Twilight in a sense (Edward vs Jacob kind of trope) but I won't complain, I liked him as much as Garroth but still preferred Garroth.
Then what happened? He got thrown into the Irene Dimension and didn't show up as much. Laurance was getting lots of attention and Aaron started interacting more and more and what probably pissed me off the most is how it went from like bare bones growing a village to 15 years into the future, everything that was familiar is now unfamiliar (besides some characters). Then what's even worse is that other roleplays continued and Garroth literally became a punching bag, the bud of a joke of 'breaking doors' and smashing them up 'har har so funny.' I just really didn't like the show after the joke became super repetitive.
Laurance wasn't appeared much in other roleplays either which annoyed me and the focus became solely on Aaron (I was and still is okay with it considering in real life, they're married, but totally seems out of the blue very stupid for Aphmau's strong will in MCD to chase after a mysterious guy - irl, sometimes this happens to where people ignore close friends to chase someone they like which is fine but I'd like to think about to possibility and how the stories would have progressed if she chose anyone else - also kind of want to have an upside down stories [like the highschool one] where it's alternate universes if things were another way or opposite to how they are.).
Sorry for the long-ranty post..
It’s hard to admit, since a lot of us want to see another role play again. I remember mystreet being one of the reasons that really impacted where I am in art today and I will always thank Jess and her team for that, I still remember how I felt the moment episode 1 of season 6 came out it was amazing, the excitement I felt. But yes, her role plays don’t meet the view count she reaches today which I get why she’d be hesitant on doing a roleplay after how far she’s come with her current content. Which is upsetting considering how much effort was put into those role plays and how much I enjoyed (and still do!) them.
Yes, her new content may not be my cup of tea and may be deemed as being cringe and treading into “weird side UA-cam” territory by others, but that’s ok. She’s happy with what she’s doing and gets millions of views per day so she’s doing just fine. I’d rather see her and her team happy with what they’re doing rather then not be just to make content I’d want, it is their channel after all.
Overall though, if iI’m being honest I don’t think the roleplays are coming back, or anytime in the near future at the very least. As much as it kills me to say, because those videos inspired me so much in the past. Some part of me likes to think that she’s in the back planning something that all her viewers would like and that the role plays would get even more views since she has more viewers to watch them, but deep down I think we all know it’s not coming back. Her last update about them was over a year ago on her community tab. So for now as much as I hate saying this, I think it’s end for now and it has been for awhile really. Her story telling will always be something I love and I’ll continue to go on random binges of mystreet, my inner demons, and of course diaries, but for now I won’t be expecting new role plays. So thanks Jess, Jason, and the rest of the team while it latest. I’ll always remember them. :)
But thank you for making this video. It was nice seeing someone finally talk about it after this long and I agreed with everything you said for the most part.
i still watch her vids (even though they are kinda cringe and im in hs and i should honestly stop) but i think i do for the nostalgia and seeing old characters sure some are cringe and weird but some are good and actually really funny but i do think a good reason why she wont make an rp for a very long time until her current content views goes down is bc of younger audiences and i do think its also bc her children probably also watch her vids and idk how old i just know they are on the younger side and i do wish that she would make a video on the fanstasy channel or her main to explain in better depth on why she wont make on other than its been put off for covid reasons (ik its stiill a big thing but tons of vaccines and she could make sure everyone is ok staying a few feet away not 6 but just in a bubble make sure everyone washes their hands etc)
@@hellokitty_____444. I remember that I got into aphmau because of my brother and sister. During freshman year of highschool (covid/online school year) I stopped watching her because I hated how people would scream so often in her videos. I know it’s just a pet peeve, but I just couldn’t stand it.
Aph's roleplay videos honestly made me who I am..I found her as an actual child (like 12ish?) and since then, my creativity has skyrocketed from what it was..Aph said before that her plan was always to bring her roleplays back once she had the time and resources to do so..I honestly think she's just trying to upload "trendy" content to stay more relevant while she's trying to calm things down from her switching teams, covid, and I believe she was also pregnant? However, I think (hope) that with time, she'll be trying to work on her roleplays again, as she loved doing them as much as we loved watching them❤️❤️
Honestly it's been on coming for a while I think. Jess has always been talented, but as she became more popular there was a clear shift in her content. Many people mention the "simplicity" of MCD and early Mystreet, but the story was never actually simple. It was slow paced, yes, because it was marinating the viewers in intriguing characters. We were invested, not only because shit was going down, but because she made every character on screen worth our time. Jess' strong suite has always been her characters, MCD and early Mystreet focused on that, mostly because it had the structure for it: Aph going around and making dialogue with each character, and solving their problems. That is when we truly saw Aphmau's character. In Love Love Paradise there was a shift, the focus shifted away from her characters and began to gradually become more and more Aarmau centered. Soon the "main characters" became side characters to the AphxAaron A plot, but in all honesty that "plot" wasn't strong enough to run the series. So Jess started adding angst to Aaron's already pretty angst character to keep the interest in Emerald Secret. And to be honest it was good, great even, but unfortunately it took too much away from the other characters and shift the focus entirely on Aarmau. There was nothing wrong with the plot, the plot was actually really good, but that character interest (if you attached to other characters) was lost. But more importantly I think Aphmau's character was lost. In Emerald Secret, Starlight, and ALL of the Phoenix Drop High series it became showed that Aphmau shines more through the people around her, through how those people viewed her, through the impact she made in others to bend their stories. In the structure of MCD Aphmau never really had to "develop", rather she adapted and allowed those around her to grow, she was a walking plot devised, and it WORKED. I think with the newer installment it became more apparent that Aphmau was the self insert for Jessica, and we had always known this, but now Aphmau and Jessica were no longer separated, and Jessica lowkey was living her own story through Aphmau in a way (it was her persona after all), and that took priority. And unfortunately outside of her plot devise role Aph was a weak character by herself, she became more of a MarySue than the impactful, kind character she'd been before. Now we were told how great Aphmau is again and again without showing it. When the werewolf, ultima, Irene plot settled in the story seemed more like a self insert Alpha Omega Romance that a Minecraft roleplay, a well written Romance, but still, it didn't fit the previous vibe. It felt forced, mostly because it was. I think the real decline happened with that university series, I can't even remember the name, but it was mainly Aarmau centric, but it brought in entirely new characters the audience was interested in. It was clear from there that the focus on the characters was gone, as they could be replaced with anyone and it would be the same Aarmau fanfiction. And without interest the views would dwindle. I think that this, UA-cams decline and a combination of writers block at a really bad time just before a 2 babies and a pandemic brought an end to the roleplay content. My Inner Demons was a final banger, but it wasn't enough. The content she's shifted to now is probably the best fit for her now considering the state of the world and UA-cams decline as a site. Probably be more palatable if it wasn't scripted, perhaps more like her mini-games, but I don't think gen alpha really cares so she'll probably continue.
if she did return with rps theres a chance they could make the view count cs many of us want them but imo its not a risk she would take
I know her videos are for a different audience nowadays but it hurts to see how much has changed. I know things like roleplays are tough to make and they take time, but I loved series like Angelsville and MyCraft where they didn't focus a lot on acting and story. I liked that she and Jason sat down and showed that they do play Minecraft and just enjoy the classic game experience. And they did really well too- I know a lot of fans wanted Angelsville to have a season 2. I would love to support her but I can't watch the type of clickbait, mind-numbing content she posts now. And I guess that just means it's time to move on
yes, the videos now are fine, but they just feel too scripted. if they were less scripted it would be better.
@@artemis754 Yes it just doesn't feel genuine anymore
@@artemis754 very true
Agreed
Same, that's the exact reason I stopped watching her. And when people like us asked for the old content- or at least Mystreet or MCD roleplays- to come back, she said she was fine and proud(?) for us to move and stop watching her. It's like she doesn't care about us and just cares about what the new audience wants.
NOTE: THIS IS MY OPINION!!
One reason why I think her roleplay videos weren't doing that well was that we all missed what she used to post and how simple it was. I remember the easy, simple storylines of the first episode of My street! I personally stopped watching cause I found it to be too much. I think it's good for her to take a break and I hope she decides to post some fun, simple roleplays soon.
Yes, I loved the new seasons of my street but at the same time they didn't feel the same. And it just didn't feel like something made with the same love and care the older seasons had- even though I know they were. It just felt produced.
agreed so so much!! i stopped watching/only rewatch the earlier mystreet seasons because the latest stuff is just far too intense and out of character. i feel like if she went back to making more fun quirky slice-of-life type content it would do way better than the convoluted dramatic magic and death storyline she pivoted towards after season 3 that was way out of left field. it makes me feel so much better that im not the only person that feels this way towards the shift in tone in the series
@@squeeze8178 Yes, I know she was trying to connect diaries and my street but I feel they were better as two separate series. It also doesn't make sense because if diaries happened so long ago how are all these characters alive and the same for the most part?
@@nerdyicy6614 Reincarnation. I remember reading Jess was inspired by some of Final Fantasy’s lores. I honestly love her ideas but I find the main reason why her RP went down was because of too much of new series popping out at a time while leaving the old ones hanging at a cliffhanger. I remember being annoyed on how she kept on making spin offs of Diaries when the original Diaries wasn’t even being finished yet.
@@Justapracticinghuman Yes. I was really hoping that the new diaries would get to a point where my brain would stop feeling that need for completion- but then that one got put on hold. It was pretty cool to see Laurance again too
We can hope, but I severely doubt we will see any future aphmau roleplays. She is a lot more successful with a type of content that takes a lot less resources to make. I just wish they could be transparent about what’s going on
For me, at least, what keeps me hoping the most is the simple lines she said in one of her community posts (specifically new year's 2021), "Jason an I are not stopping our story telling," and "There will no longer be a set date on when anything is airing, instead we want to produce the whole RP at our own pace before even beginning to announce anything." It makes me hope that the entire season of a role play is getting created behind the scenes of her new content. Of course, it could just be desperation because of how much I love her and her stories, but that single line has led me the patience that won't run out until she at least announces herself that she is no longer doing roleplays or finishing MyStreet or My Inner Demons. It brings physical pain thinking it'll never happen again, it's what's causing me not t get over it.
She absolutely is still technically doing RP still, maybe not storytelling, but her video now could definitely fit under the category of Roleplay. All her videos have minor "plot" and are heavily scripted.
@@jadaavant490 Yeaah but its more for kids now, its not the same at all
Same dude, I feel like if she really will stop story telling she would definitely address that. In the beginning of these random silly videos for kids, the people she played with had no lines for anything and they pretty much just improvised a lot. But recently I see she has been doing writing bits or at least it seems so to me because it sounds very scripted which I personally don't mind because the randomness always threw me off so the scripts felt more structured. It's not the same as her role plays of course but you can tell the way the actors talk is different and I can deal with her new videos more that way
Same here. I don't even want to remember it.
Even though Jess isn't that great of a person as I used to think, I really miss the getting excited when an episode would drop in the middle me doing homework. She was a big part of my childhood, even if it's just one rp episode I'll watch it, even if it's completely new, I'll watch it, that's how much I miss her content.

i 100 percent agree. i watched her content for years before it became this sort of kid-directed fake roleplay stuff. i honestly think that if she made more content like her old mini game videos before making the new type of content, she would still be just as successful. plus i think a big mistake she made was taking away her old characters and trying to bring many new and foreign storylines to her audience. i go back to watch her old content a lot that has her old characters and storytelling and i'm being completely honest when i say that i would much prefer to have her old minigame videos come back over this mind numbing content directed towards a kid audience. her minigame videos weren't even scripted and they were still entertaining, even years later. even other games or unscripted videos she made with old characters/voice actors were entertaining and did really well analytics-wise. but that being said, i'm still clinging on to the fact that mystreet was left on a major cliffhanger, and someday she might continue it/finish it, since covid is starting to slow down and she could work with a team in person again. but sadly with the direction her content is taking that is probably never going to happen, no matter how many of her old fans are waiting for her. it's really dissapointing.
@@katmeka I think she got too distracted, or bored, the focus clearly shift to herself and Jason (or rather her fantastical edgy version of him) and the story and everyone else got enveloped in that fantasy. And anyone who didn't fit was removed. Honestly I think that it's better that it ended before it got worse. Don't get me wrong, Starlight was very well written plot wise, very exciting, but the character arches weren't as strong as they could have been because there wasn't enough screentime for them to make room for Aarmau. There was just too much Aarmau, and not enough everyone else, and that got old quickly because by herself I don't think Aphmau was as strong as a character, she built off of Aaron's super edgy character (which was albeit well written) but Aphmau herself didn't have much. I also notice how she made her main characters increasingly watered down as the Aarmau plot progressed. Garroth became dumber, Zane became clingier, and other characters were pushed to the side, EVEN IF THEY HAD THEIR OWN ARCH like Nana. Instead of being their own characters they became support characters for Aarmau, no more depth, and with Aphmau herself really only showing through her characters as a result she became watered down, even though she was the focus, so she relied on a captivating plot rather than captivating characters. But looking back, I don't think I would have been able to continue to watching my characters be disrespected. I don't know where else she'd have gone after Starlight, I think that would have been the end. There wasn't much else to go back to after the whole Irene/Ultima plot, so I think this would have been the last anyway, but I wish we would have gotten the ending we deserved.
@@jadaavant490 Hi!! So glad you brought this up, sorry for being late to the conversation but I can’t help but agree with everything you said!! I’ve been watching Aphmau since MCD season 1 and left around 2018-19. In the beginning, i was really captivated by the characters and their progression in aph’s series. Betrayal, romance, comedy, action, fantasy, it was everything I had wanted in a series. Laurence was by far one of the most iconic characters, he just spoke to me and his character development was my favorite alongside Garroth, Nana, and Katelyn. When Aaron showed up, i wasn’t really amused and thought nothing of it. When he started showing up in different episodes of multiple series, however, that’s when I started getting worried. A few years went by and Aarmau was the center point of every series. Perhaps I was bitter back then and the story was actually good, but all I remember was the push back on character development. I despised Aaron for not only taking all the screen time and development, but he was so unbearable edgy and confusing I stopped watching mystreet and everything after it. (seriously,, the shadow knights were one of my favorite plot points of mcd and I don’t think much was revealed or brought up again.)) all of these complex characters with powerful personalities were reduced to stereotypes (Travis being a pervert, Katelyn being a “tsundere”). I don’t blame Jess for inserting herself in her own series- but the Jess/ Jason and aphmau/Aaron parallels are almost indistinguishable.
((Sorry for ranting- haven’t been able to express this in years!)
@@angelxskullz Hi! I don't mind a lengthy rant, I am guilty myself. I think a lot of us fans have been stewing on this for awhile. It's pretty rough having the character centered saga of your childhood turned into an overused edgy werewolf romance you could easily replace with anything on webtoon. You are completely on point with the overplaying of stereotypes (it's appalling to me how Garroth became an idiot basically for having blonde hair). I can't ignore that Mystreet started off as a modern day spinoff, and as a spinoff it really didn't have any material to be interesting other than exaggerating stereotypes for comedy purposes. Mystreet really never had much to offer other than comedy, and fan service. It's a slice of life that can't be too much like real life, because the audience is mainly kids. There was bit of plot, but a pretty tame one at first. Basically shenanigans, shenanigans, more shenanigans, Zane angry bestie, Garroth hits door, Aaron and Aphmau kiss, done. Nothing like MCD. Emerald Secret is where the order was disrupted, honestly it was well written (as a stand alone) but it ruined literally everything. I think MCD was finally coming back around this time, so really this series took away what could've been great. Emerald Secret pushed a lot of unfounded content, as I said before Mystreet doesn't have too much material to accommodate the grand story arch that was Emerald, not much lore, other than Phoenix Drop High, no reoccurring character struggle, and not much background that doesn't already come from MCD. So Aph forced the Ultima plot. Why I will never know. Did she think that the audience was taking her relationship with Jason- I mean Aaron- seriously. Or rather was it because no one was taking Aaron seriously as a character (because basically his personality was "I love Aphmau"). So the solution was angst (now his personality is "I love Aphmau" + trauma). There was literally no lead up, or indication to Aaron being this ancient werewolf thing man. Season three of MCD was focusing on his controlling family (and strangely his shirtless father) never once did it even hint that Aaron is literally A DANGER TO SOCIETY. Forcing this content was such a stray away, yet we didn't notice because, damnit, it was done well. How they tied in Ein was the mind blow of my young 11-year-old brain. But it continued to go down hill because the (overload) of trauma from Emerald became the center focus of the series. So it was a "trauma only" club, same caste cause we don't want to deal with the underdeveloped (not traumatized) characters. What I'm trying to say (and failing) is that Mystreet is a parody of MCD, it was never meant for extravagant anime storylines. It was a simple (kinda) slice of life, placing the characters in MCD in modern times. It was the fan service series for those who watch MCD, a series that is ACTUALLY serious and can't always accommodate so much fluff and just chill times. Mystreet was a good balance to the plot heavy Minecraft Diaries, but without that balance Mystreet kinda falls flat. It is a SUPPORT series, not the main dish, and I think that is where Aph messed up. And that's also how she allowed MCD to dust away at its peak.
@@jadaavant490 Thank you for clearing everything up! And in such a short time too- I’m honestly jealous how put together your response it!! Back to the conversation at hand, I agree. Mystreet was a breath of fresh air and was just a silly series overall- making it intense/serious+ tying in new characters definitely destroyed the connection to MCD and it’s place as the “main” series. Just talking about Aaron makes my blood boil. His character changed the trajectory of Aphmaus channel- I would do anything and go back in time and prevent him from existing (lol), maybe then we could have gotten a better series. Returning back to Laurence (sorry, my 10 year old brain loved his human/shadow knight parallel) He is a great example of a character that can change negatively under different circumstances. He did get overtly aggressive and unbalanced during the final half of MCD season 2, but i think it’s a great portrayal of his “calling” and the betrayal he felt when aphmau got herself pregnant with a man that was literally just thrown into the series. Aphmau’s love and the thought of her suppressed his malice- finding out she broke their (somewhat) promise to wait and stay together destroyed him. Laurence’s character is the strongest and closest to Shads, and i believe in all my heart Aaron stole Laurence’s place in the series, resulting in Laurence’s disappearance overall. I could talk all day about the impact Aphmau had on me as an artist/creator myself, and although her older works still hold a place in my heart (I’m blinded by nostalgia)) there was definitely some things in her work that didn’t sit right with me. Sorry!! Don’t know where I was going with the Laurence thing, but thank you for listening! I’m sorry if I misunderstood anything- I’m half asleep :)
What I’m hoping for is after a while she will start slowly getting in to it but I heard that a lot of her teammates got “let go” (their words) so I don’t know, all I’m hoping is for her to start eventually because Covid is just starting to slow down. I’m willing to wait and as much as a lot of people hate the new video I kinda enjoy them. You get to see her happy with friends and a lot of those videos have PDH, MCD, and Mystreet references. I do have hopes she will start again but this is just my opinion :)
I know right like its her choice everyone’s acting as if she's doing the ultimate sin.
She literally said that she only started making these videos because of Covid, but I really don’t see her making another story in the near future. From my perspective, it seems like she saw how well PrestonPlayz was doing with his over-the-top Minecraft videos and wanted to do the same for her channel. Weirdly enough, she started making this type of content not long after appearing in one of prestonplayz videos. Just my thoughts, though…
@@-yasmean- I think it’s because she literally left her entire fandom… the same fandom that made her channel grow to stardom. She promised that the new style of videos were just a temporary solution to get through Covid, but she lied. And last time I checked, she still hasn’t addressed the change in content.
@@phoenixmorphix can’t rly blame her tho, right? It’s not too serious of an issue, bcuz it’s kinda her choice! Maybe she thought making her current style of vids were funner then the mystreet kind? I don’t think we should blame her tho. She just changed her style and thought that this style was more suitable for her. But she should’ve addressed the situation so that there is no misunderstanding…
At one point, a lot of her “newer videos” were hinting and having things similar to her Mystreet series. (Like you said) I really hope she does start up again, because Mystreet (all seasons) had a big impact on my life. And the songs were absolutely amazing as well 😂
But I understand if she doesn’t, she can do what she wants. Although I’m a bit sad she kinda left her rp fans hanging.
Aphmau was one of the many people I clung to during my tween years and throughout the rest of middle school. I was going through a lot during that time period and Aphmau would always manage to cheer me up through those tough times. It was around freshmen year that I sort of grew out of her content and started watching different content creators, but a few years later I decided to check up on her channel and see how she was doing. Honestly, I'm glad she found a new way to make content to support herself and her family, but it still left me a little sad that the roleplays came to a complete stop. Although it might not seem like she won't post any more roleplay content, I still want to hold onto the fact that she will come back someday. I hope now she is taking care of herself and putting time for her friends and family, as making content cannot be easy. Her roleplays will always have a special place in my heart.
Same
If I’m being completely honest for myself and maybe even others, her original content really didn’t require that much money. I mean, thousands of people liked her old content when there were only a few body actors and barely any actual voice actors needed, and I seriously doubt that content needed money. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always enjoyed seeing the quality evolve, but I would always be satisfied just seeing older quality and plenty of heart put into the roleplays. I’m glad she is taking care of herself, but I honestly believe that she could do that, make plenty of bank, and still provide good content that we would love. She is just choosing not to. Which is fine. I truly wish her the best of luck, but the least she could do is handle her audience better. Make a proper announcement in a video. Stop stringing along us older fans. It’s selfish of her to ask for our support without giving us closure. That’s all I ask for. Is proper closure. Is that really so hard?
It could just be hard to manage, all voice actors, story, time, producing, retakes, animation etc who knows behind the scene, I’d she was getting bank from views would her hired voice actors ask for more money?
On top of that she has kids as well, it does look like a lot work and what she’s doing now looks like a big downgrade but probably provides her a lot of relief but sad to cut her stories very short I’m sure she had many projects.
UA-cam algorithm is changing and it seems fair to think on the options of is it worth it to make a 10-30 minute episode/story
I know, and I understand. I feel like she just left her rp fans hanging. And the videos she makes nowadays feels TOO scripted, ya know?
Though I definitely agree that she should at least update her long-time fans, I could also believe that her roleplays take lots of money. Though her old diaries and mystreet content made lots of views, that was during a time where that sort of stuff was advanced and new. Now, if she posted that type of content, it might reel some old fans back or interest long time Minecraft fans, but newer fans would think it's outdated and old. It wouldn't get clicks and since most of her old fans either have left, or have high expectations of her, it probably wouldn't land well and would end up failing as well. Though, thats just what I think :/
I just want her to say that she's not going to do any more RP role plays instead of us hanging for more. You know?
Of she doesn't want to do it anymore, i would love for her to say she doesn't want to anymore
That's what i say, now obviously we have no idea how much it cost to make the rp's especially if we're talking with top quality like MyStreet season 6 and inner demons but at this point you couldn't tell me that her new content doesn't pull in enough money to do that new "baby" context and just slightly lower quality (like earlier season MyStreet) rp's. Of course this is a take purely from a "how efficient" it would be and not from anything else, as i understand money is only one of many factors
I remember being obsessed with her roleplays. she was the very first person I ever saw make content like that. I miss it.
i'm honestly heartbroken about mystreet and minecraft diaries being cut short, those series were such a huge part of my childhood and it hurts to see them just disappear like that
I was so obsessed with her roleplays and characters when I was a tween im 17 now and totally lowkey miss it . Her content is so new from what i remember and definitely more for younger audiences, I mean that as her old content was more for tweens. She’s also not active on social media no more as she used to when i recall being a fan of hers and so has her husband. I do wonder if she’ll ever continue her famous series which was My Street, I remember her husband once tweeted or something that if they were to pick up the series for another season it would be the final one. I hope so since the ending was a a cliffhanger. Also, she’s recently gotten into some controversy which honestly i definitely agree shouldn’t be ignored, i’m not sure if she would ever actually address it but I doubt it but looking back some of her characters and their actions were a bit questionable. Anyways, a reason her other roleplays flopped were since it was a cast of new characters and different storyline when everyone was used to the og cast and story. She didn’t want to work on mystreet if i recall for awhile since she said it definitely drained her and although that’s fair I think she should have stopped doing roleplays until she didn’t feel burnt out. I don’t know her personally so not like i can say this and i’m not really a big fan no more but I do sometimes check up on her channel to see if anything is new.
Edit: I do somewhat think maybe she won’t ever bring back Mystreet since thinking about it the last season was about 3 years ago now or so. Her fan base has definitely changed so it’s a bit of a risk for her to bring back this continued series not knowing if her new fans will even be caught up to understand and unsure if her old fans will come back to watch this series conclusion.
So if you don't mind to talk about it, what was the controversy?
@@Aceshot-uu7yx it might be the Sebastian Todd one or the Blue Jay studio one
Edit: it could also be with some of her newer content such as pregnant with twins in Minecraft
Honestly I’d just like it if she posts a rough draft of how the series originally were going to go and end so it’s not some huge cliffhanger for older fans
@@artyraindrop2942 I don't know what those are
With the main writer and editor who left just before(?) the last MS episode (btw 2 different people) I think it was safe to say that it was only a matter of time from there, that final episode really didn’t feel completely finished, yes evil is defeated and some are ok, but we never find out much about what happened afterwards, hell the last scene was a fucking cliff hanger for god sake
Great video! Very informative and needed. I’ve watched Aphmau since I was very young, now being 15, and seeing the way her account has shape to be what it is now is disheartening. I found huge inspiration through her and still do but it’s just sad to see someone who you wished so hard to flourish well, is flourishing but not the way you expected them to
Same! Years ago she really inspired me into making my own mc rps (not videos though) and play around with lore in my head and in the world and I carry it on till this day. I’ve held on to the hope she’ll continue her rp series (mostly MID bc we were left on a serious cliffhanger and I loved the series). The fact that she calls the people in her vids by their character names is what keeps me holding onto hope. But. It’s been too long… and I’m starting to think she won’t go back to those days. Besides, her videos now are making millions more views…
@@120magix Same. It’s so hard for me when I see her content now to get mad or just sad. At one point I’m bad because her content doesn’t feel authentic. Feels like something that just suppose to grab views not really entertaining an audience. While her old content, not only was it unique but also felt like she took time to think about everything about the content. The music, the story, everything. Though I feel sadness because if that was the case, I can understand as well. Aphmau has a family and for years she’s been multi-tasking by creating story lore and executing it while still being a mother and a wife. That can be a lot of pressure, and Jess could have thought that she wanted to be more involved with her kids, but still needing money. That’s why, her content is the way it is. To not delve to apart from her old story-filled videos but quick to make, being able to not do too much work but still get similar and probably more benefits from before. (More views, and money comes from those views). She could be in the process of trying to decide which content to stick with. Her current videos make views but the community for it is not very strong, meanwhile with her old videos, her community was much more vocal, dedicated, and more inspired by her content. Not only that it interest adults. Honestly, i believe if Aphmau started focusing back on her role play, but making it a bit different, during the beginning rise of the DreamSmp, people would have been hooked. Because of the dreamsmp, people started to get hooked on the idea of storytelling through Minecraft, there was even a surge of Minecraft SMPs. She could have garnered more dedicated and adult fans (money from purchasing in her shop). Now that quarantine has passed, (she could have done an animation based mini shows, or even just more storytelling through other ways) and the dreamsmp era is dying due to varioUs reasons, I believe her biggest opportunity to gain a lot of fans passed. As this point, I’m not sure what’s she doing or going to do and I’m not excited about the future of Aphmau. It hurts but if it’s going to be this way, I’ll just only watch her old videos.

@@120magix sorry I wrote a mountain 😅
as someone who has been there from the beginning, yeah it was hard seeing one of my favorite minecraft youtubers just change out of nowhere. i stopped watching and moved on, but i knew there had to be a reason. she’s mentioned before how much time went into season six of MyStreet, so maybe that was also part of it-the stress. she also had four kids and is making money off of YT. i think she’s in a great place rn and i’m happy for her because she found a younger generation of an audience who wants to watch her goofy videos. yeah, i miss it, but i’m happy for her.
I haven’t heard the name “Aphmau” in a while. Truthfully, I can point out several “mistakes” that had been made in the process of her RPS (in my opinion as someone who was an ex-fan since the beginning of MCD/Mystreet/PDH until the end of it);
Many fans were perfectly content with MCD, Mystreet, and Phoenix Drop High being their own individual series. When she began mixing MCD with PDH/Mystreet, adding all the supernatural arcs and elements in an otherwise modern world, and only giving in to one ships desire really tuned out a vast majority of her original audience and made everything have the same outcome. People weren’t happy with the direction she was going in with these decisions.
Well I perfectly understand writing what you enjoy and love, you can most certainly tell that a lot of the newer RPS (2017-2019?) had gone down in quality. A lot of the writing seemed like a quick, “oh, let’s shock the audience!” moment with little to no time to plan the actual future storyline of said idea.
Not to mention, the drama surrounding the mistreatment of her staff and not actually calling her staff back. Had she decided to revert back to her old ways prior to having a big team and taking the time to plan out storylines that didn’t mix in with her other RPS, things could have definitely turned out differently.
I’m glad her current audience enjoys her current (and that it looks/sounds like she does as well!) but her original audience definitely got the short end of the stick.
Just found this out but THis all started as a webtoon type series that’s why there is lots of love in it. I watched her a long time ago I’m 15 now but yeah.
Her old audience didn’t get the short end of stick but we have to remember around this time she started to have children and I respect her for not putting her children on hold for UA-cam. I think the RPS were more of a little fun thing to throw in there not having more background info to add on
Again I’m not disregarding your comment I just want to clarify things cause It seems like your painting a picture where Jess is a bad person or UA-camr again not trying to be rude
I do hope one day she makes a season 2 for my inner demons
YES WE ALL NEED THE DAEMOS BOIS
I know right!
yess! That was such a funny rp and creative mix of relatable
FOREAL!!!THAT SERIES WAS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!
i rarely ever see anyone talking about this series, i’m so glad to see some appreciation for it!! 🥹🥹 probably my favorite.
Seeing the difference in content today is awfully strange and nostalgic. I was incredibly sad to see how much it had changed, but change is a given.
I used to watch Aphmau nearly everyday. Her personality and storytelling drew me in. As a kid, I felt like I could relate to her, and that meant a lot to tiny-me. She’s made a huge impact on my life.
About a year ago (on New Years 2021 I believe) she made a community post about all the rp concerns/confusion to her followers. She explained that because they weren’t able to be in their old office space due to Covid that they couldn’t make content, which makes total sense. She also said that fans were being demanding of her for new episodes to come out a d that made her feel like she had to rush her projects. She said then that she wanted to still create rp content but it wouldn’t have a set date or time that it would air/be released. She also said that whenever she does end up starting to post rp content again, it will be on her Aphmau Stories channel, which has since be emptied of all its old content. For me the main part about all of her rp content that I’ve been waiting for is the final season of MyStreet as it ended on such a huge cliffhanger. We were also given a little mini series that was set around the Christmas holidays and their future daughter went to visit them for a short while since she wanted to meet her parents. That being said, it means that Aphmau and Aaron have some unfinished business after When Angels Fall. She said in the same community post that I mentioned before that she wanted to do something with the ending of MyStreet at some point. She said that she’s not sure how yet and that it would take a long time to decide what she wants to do with that. Also 2 years ago she posted a teaser banner of the MyStreet character cast with an Under Construction banner. We’ll see what happens and I hope she brings back her stories as I can tell she isn’t done telling them. 💕
Tbh I understand why she doesn’t post rp anymore (I hope the future is different). She’s having funny and getting a lot of money for it. I’m a very old fan, I used to watch the very first season diaries (it is no longer on the channel, it was mostly about testing mods but in a roleplay type of way) I loved her content so much as a tween/kid. At some point I had missed a good portion of season 1 of diaries (the one on the channel) and I had so much fun watching all the videos to catch up and coming home from school to watch the newer episodes. I really miss her old content because back then it was one of the highest Quality with a lot of effort put into it. Now, I never come back to watch anything. Idk if it’s me but her content now seems targeted towards kids. Like I said, I totally would do something that makes me more money while having fun but even a scrap of a roleplay video would make me happy. I hope she can pass on her ideas to someone else and have them work on something great again :)
Your one of the very few people to understand why she can't post roleplays and why she isn't like she never forgot about us or her roleplays since there's consistent references to her roleplays!
Are you sure it isn't on the channel anymore? I just wanted to ask and double check because I also remember that particular series- or at least I believe I do, was it Minecraft Diaries Origins? If so, it is still on her channel in the playlists, at the very bottom! (Although I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what region your in and stuff like that because sometimes it can be a bit tricky, but it is accessible to me eitherway so maybe there is a possibility for you to reminisce if that is the series you're referring to.)
wait what the first season isnt there anymore?
oh nvm I found it
@@kawaiikarasu8187 it’s there here’s the link for if anyone else needs it ua-cam.com/play/PL0dTxWJ6ngUKo1F9VRWqixQ8NCiD528zj.html
She didn't make a roleplay, but she is making FULL ANIMATED MYSTREED SEASON 7 AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wether or not it's roleplays I'm just happy to see her doing well(well I can actually only suppose she's doing well). I know in her heart she didn't forget us and I just want her to be happy even if she changes the style of her channel. Life brings about change and nothing can truly always stay the same. You have to shift in a way depending on wether it's just you or you have other people to think about. Sometimes the only way you can continue is to give back a new version of thanks. I do hope roleplays will come back someday 'cause she is SOOOO talented at storytelling. Though the fact of the matter is a lot of old Aphmau fans have grown up and lost interest in the old content. New generations are coming in that quickly start to bore when content gets repetitive. I'll wait for her though, I'm pretty patient.
Finally someone who excepted it instead of back lashing her! you've earned My respect
@@-yasmean- Thank you very much, it's really not anything big. But we're all human & unless we could walk a day in everyone's shoes we don't understand anything. By empathizing can we get only so close unless we experience the same or similar. We see her on vids everyday but we don't know what's going on on the other side. So instead of saying she gave up & left us why not just support her in every step she makes as a good person, a talented creator, a person who is trying. I never need anything from anyone aside just to try. And she has put so much effort over the years that I'm proud of her for still doing what she does so bravely. At the end of the day she is a person with a family to take care of as well. We should be the extended family that helps her when things get tough. I also respect you for having an opinion that we shouldn't just backlash at people without knowing everything. Tank you!
*I know this is VERY bold to say...But honestly, I don't even care if she makes a new RP. Sure, it would be amazing and I would be extremely happy if she did so, but it's clear she's focused on making her new audience and team happy. I'm more upset about how she just dropped her older audience and video style and did a whole 180 on her channel without warning, and let her old cast/friends go without announcing it to her audience. That being said I think I can speak for most of us when I say I just want her to be GENUINE...even if it's just her and her friends and husband messing around like before. Now her channel is so scripted and predictable and she's brought in new people we never even got properly introduced to...We barely see her or hear from her personally anymore, and overall it just feels like she left such a huge gap between Herself and her older audience...I love Jess and always have, but it really really hurts when I realize just how much she changed just to appeal to a style that gets more views. All of our favorite UA-camrs are growing up and I understand that, but it still makes you feel a certain way.*
I think she left her path of making quality content in exchange for making profitable content. Its understandable seen as she has a family to feed, and let's be honest, a lot of people weren't waching her roleplays and only started watching them again when she stopped making them. I just wish she didn't leave her old OG fans to hang out and dry like this with no closure or goodbye
I loved Aphmaus roleplays when I was younger, I always found them interesting. But there were some flukes that might have given Aphmau hate, such as the relationship between Aphmau and Aaron in PDH season 1 and 2. Aphmau was a freshman(14 - 15) at the time their enemies to lovers relationship started, While Aaron was a senior(17 - 18). meaning, the only way this could be legal, was for Aphmau to be held back 3 - 4 years at certain point during school in the past. If not, Aphmau would have to go through the sophomore(15 - 16) and junior(16 - 17) years of high school before finally, becoming a senior. and becoming a (somewhat) adult.
take this with a grain of salt cause the way school would work in PDH could've been different.
It's sad to see this really. She was a big part of my childhood and was the reason I was so into stories.
There was a series that I really loved called 'My inner demons'. It was safe to say I loved it a lot but it ended on a cliffhanger which confused me. I thought maybe she was taking a break but it didn't make sense because she was posting other things.
Since then it has stayed at 20 episodes and it has been 3 years and it looks like there will be nothing about it anytime soon or ever
It's sad to see especially when you have been watching it since from the start 😕
I'm going to wait for her. I know there's a feeling that she will do rps but it is going to take a while but she's starting to do some of animations on her videos and it's going to start soon but not very soon the COVID is fading away this 2022 . We just have to wait until she announce that there will be a project she will be doing
When I was younger I loved the side stories like one called “Beach vacation” was my favorite. I’ve been around since “Mod mod world” (I think it’s called) and as much as I want her to come back, what I really worry is if she deletes any of her older videos. I just like watches those old videos even though it’s not as interesting as I thought it was when I was younger. It’s really crazy that Aphmau seriously inspired SO many people and roleplays. Her, ItsFunneh, Pinkdimonddiva and SamGladitor will always be my favs ❤️
MYSTREET and MCD (MCD especially) will always have a huge place in my heart and is to this day one of the best stories ive ever gotten to watch unfold i dont blame jess for switching to her new content- shes gotta do what makes her happy and what works for her family
I remember I wanted to be just like Jess when I was a kid. She and Jason were my comfort in an incredibly messy homelife. Too bad she's abandoned all her loyal fans, as well as friends, to be a cold and emotionless content farm.
she got me through so many bad things so many years ago, and the abrupt end to her old content makes me sort of flinch whenever i see her new videos. Also i used to watch Mystreet for the fun, carefree content, but when it escalated after emerald secret i started to become more sad/weary and change with the content too.
I grew up watching MyStreet, I looked forward to every episode. I started watching her from episode 6 of MyStreet season 1. I still remember watching that episode and instantly becoming hooked on the roleplay. I used to watch it with my best friend and we'd get so excited we'd be squealing and talking about what we think would happen. I miss it a lot, but I also feel like even if she did go back to roleplays, they'd never be the same as they once were. Especially without BlueJay Studios. Which is honestly heartbreaking.
aphmau will continue to be one of the leading people who helped me through so much. i sort of gave up on her 2 years ago, but i wouldnt be the same person i am today without her. i dont think i would be writing stories, or being inspired in all places. i was obsessed with all of her roleplays. she was my favorite youtuber at some point. to take a step back and see how much it really changed my life is insane. i was in the fandom for eaisly 5 or 6 years??? i just- as much as im sad her content has been different, i took in literally all i could have before. i dont know if this makes sense lmao- but im so happy someone actually said something abt it-
If Jessica/Aphmau sees her Sub count go up on Her Role-playing channel, she might be convinced to Bring back Her Role-playing videos,
I loved Aphmau's channel, when I lost my mom she was what saved me from repeated attempts of suicide, and I still watch her to this day, but hearing that My Inner Demons and other series will not be continued- it just breaks me more than anything. It's the last thing I have at this point, and it's the last thing I strongly care about. I might make my own channel into something, just so someone else won't lose what I did.
I was there when it started, and remembering the joy of coming home and waiting for a new episode was everyday for me, I have loved and will always re-watch her series but they did do down hill. I wish they didn't because you have a point. Her story-telling has always been amazing. I'll miss it for sure.
for me, aphmau was a HUGE part of middle school and me growing up. her stories made me want to RP with other people and led me to meet some of the best people in the world. it even got me inspired to star writing myself, and that's become my greatest passion. but it really does suck to see how everything has changed.
don't get me wrong, i'm happy for her! clearly, people love her new content, even my niece loves watching her. it's giving her views, and she clearly likes to do it. but what i'm more upset about is what you guys are saying, the lack of closure.
she stared a bunch of new series like "my inner demon" and the remake of diaries, and those all were interesting and unique and highly enjoyable. those first few new episodes of the diaries remake were some of the best stuff i''ve ever seen and i was so excited to watch it grow and improve and watch how she really wanted the story to come out. but then it just all quit and she never told us anything. she never even properly finished the original series!
of course, i can totally understand some of the reasons that she had to put a "pause" on everything: she had another baby, COVID messed everyone up, and yeah. i'm sure they were super long and difficult to make. but i just wish we got some close to everything, esp diaries since it seemed like her biggest thing
it also sucks how she just keeps stringing us along, promising "new stuff" and then proceeding to not release anything. i dunno, i'm def not shaming her because i understand that it's hard, but it sucks to grow up and see your idol grow up too and leave you behind
Most of my childhood was just Aphmau videos. Being older now I've really missed the roleplay style. Jess's story telling is what really helped out when I struggled in school. It gave me something to look forward to at the end of the day. I hope she finds here voice with the newer audience and we can enjoy her gift for storytelling again.
Every now and again I'll think on this, and recently I've come to peace with her content. Don't get me wrong, I won't ever watch it. It's definitly for a younger audience, and is honestly just not something I'm interested in. I do, however, respect her decision on stopping roleplaying. This new content is easier, likely more enjoyable, and allows her to just simply relax with friends.
However, I am still very much disappointed in how she seemingly dumped Mystreet, My Inner Demons, and many more of her roleplays. I remember just how popular she was within the Minecraft roleplaying community. She is entirely the reason I and many others began watching Minecraft videos. Even now, over 7 years into the future I still watch things like the Dream SMP, so it just seems so... odd for her to just ditch the entire community. And yes, it really does feel like she ditched it all. There's been no word of anything roleplay wise in over 2 years, along with almost every voice actor she worked alongside with for those projects talking of being 'let go'.
I do truly understand her situation, especially with just how many kids she has. And I will absolutely will watch any new addition to her previous roleplays. Though, in all honestly, I will likely never watch her videos again.
P.S. Still pissed about that Mystreet ending! Cried for just about 2 weeks over Aaron and 'Shoe's' relationship going down the drain. We were promised it to be continued dammit! Fuckin' cliffhangers... It's like Game of Thrones all over again. She may just die before we find out the end to that story.
As someone who started watching Aphmua back during Pokemon Iron and Coal, I've seen her channel change a lot over the years (although I'll admit I wasn't around for everything) but through all that, she's always been making something with a story, until now which is so sad. She has always come off as someone extremely creative who has a lot of ideas so it's sad she has completely dropped that. I'm just glad she is doing good honestly it's always so sad when UA-camrs I used to watch go below 10k every video.
update : recently aphmau said that something from the past would continue and so she will probaly continue her roleplays also she said in public that there were plans to continue!!
It really sucks for everyone in the situation. A couple of Aphmau’s other roleplays got a lot of success and gave her a mass following, yet most of them slowly but surely started not being interested in the roleplays, causing the views count to steep really low compared to her other content. I loved her roleplays like My street, Phoenix drop high, and all of the other ones connected to that certain universe!
Yea, around the my street era was when it declined. Idk a lot of us fans have said make a book but I doubt she will
She's confirmed Season 7 of MyStreet awhile ago, she just said she really wants to take her time and that it will take awhile. Even Moeka, one of her voice actors said in their discord server that they are working on a Season 7.
wait are u fr
@@katie-dh3eu Yeah but who knows when its gonna come out.
This video actually came in my recommended when I was re-watching the video I made of the same topic.
It's sad. I grew up with these videos and to see them just cripple and fall.. is sad. It's about the money, sadly enough, and thats what they leaned towards.
I honestly am so sad with her not doing roleplays anymore. It was always a huge part of my childhood granted I can always go back to it and relive those memories but they are just memories now. This past year was hard on me with every part of it changing like my family dead and now living in a new place and I don't even have my familiar aphmau to watch either 😔I guess this is just life and we grow up and change.
Dude I had no idea BluJay studios ended-
Honestly makes me so sad. I remember when I was little I looked up where it was and asking my parents if we could take a trip to Washington so I could visit the studio. (Crazy idea, I know.) I was little, obsessed, and idolized Aphmau.
As I grew up, I did start to see her more as a person as she shared her stories with struggle and I could empathize with her on more mature-ish matters. Now I see her pretty much the same way you do. The type of content that works changes. If she’s having fun with it and it’s working for her, why stop? I do hope to see her branch out a little bit more but at the end of the day what really matters is that she’s enjoying the content that she’s making.
I wish nothing but the best for her. 💗
This video needs the attention, great job with it!
Personally I have long unsubscribed from her mostly as I have lost all hope that there will ever be another episode of any series put put ever again. Times are changing, her children are growing up, she’s basing her content off of what her children like… I could damn go on
Her roleplays really helped me through my childhood, her roleplays were one of the many reasons I grew up and I would wait for new episodes everyday and her not making anymore roleplays hurts but I understand the difficulty but I hope she still makes roleplays
shame, how does it feel to be wrong? WE WON
Lol😂
Most of us (her old OLD fans from her roleplaying videos) got sick of the roleplays because they always had the same outcome. Her and Aaron would ALWAYS be end game, the same ships, the same story line just in different backgrounds. She was also a HUGE pick me, making literally all the men fall in love with her. Shes been doing it ever since the first minecraft diaries. :/
She's basically a "seductive Mary Sue" character and I'm gonna be honest, I enjoyed the outcome of Aarmau but it's just so cringy she wasted her time on the ships, it's an alright storyline to do if u want plot but she just kept using it
I remember literally holding out hope for her RP series to come back. I waited up until COVID and I finally gave up. She was a huge inspiration to me, and in my own RPs (Being with just friends, I do D&D stuff) it's clear she has inspired me. It just hurts that she's not who she used to be. I'm glad she's enjoying the new content, but I can't support her anymore.
It's also been said that the voice actors were apparently treated not very well. Most of the voice actors won't speak about it, and it absolutely breaks my heart that they couldn't be passionate about it because of Aph's treatment. I grew up on those roleplays and I really wish that I'd see more content like that, but sadly it's just not in high demand recently.
I don't even know if I want her to change back over, because the series would be completely different and if not, the voice actors would be different. It's so odd to know that.
This honestly makes me pretty sad. Aphmau was my childhood. The first video I ever watched was mystreet, S 1, ep 5. I got to watch all the episodes come out one by one. She was my childhood. I really hope things go well for her and her team, although I will really miss her roleplays 💔💔
Definetely the best 'bringing up' about this topic I've seen. Thank you for making this! I hope other people left wondering can find this video.
I'm super sad about this whole thing honestly. Her rps helped me get through the day and it always made me laugh, smile, cry, or just enjoy it. I was subscribed but I'm not anymore. I just really wish that she would realize how much her old subs enjoyed and loved those videos. I hope someday she will change even tho it is very very unlikely. I still check every day tho on her channel hoping for a change... I have watched all of her rps even the not so popular ones. I enjoyed every single episode of each and every rp. I will never forget about Aphmau I know she is doing what she thinks is best rn but I will always wait no matter how long it takes.
Also I feel like we weren’t getting anything necessarily new… I loved her so much and watched every video EVERY day since the beginning. I feel like the stories were all the same bases of Aphmau being crowded around ‘hot’ men who all fall head over heals for her and love her at once
Yeah her self insert kinda seemed to delve into 'mary sue' territory a lot 🤔
Another thing is she has a completely new generation watching her now. A few weeks ago I was at my girlfriend’s house and as I’m in the kitchen her little brother (he’s in like 4th grade) was watching UA-cam on the living room tv. Then he clicks on a video and I here that nostalgic voice and I realize who he’s watching. I go up to him and ask him about what he’s watching and he begins to go on this adorable little ramble about Aphmau and her new content and how it’s so cool. It makes me sad that the old Aphmau we all grew up watching is gone but she’s still giving the new generation the same feelings we once had when we were that young
I found aph’s channel a long time ago during the my street days and I saw her through Skydoesminecraft and his old “try not to laugh” challenges where Aph would read out her “Midnight” story’s. Genuinely I loved her content it was similar to some others but you could tell she wasn’t going to end on season 2, it was amazing. After everything in the OG my street set got blown up everything changed, the way her videos were going was different, it felt like watching a tv show rather than the series I grew to love. It just felt off, so I left for a while but when I came back to rewatch episodes I really enjoyed the storyline it still didn’t feel like OG aph days but it was still good, I’m just sad that the RP series’s have stopped.
The most unfortunate part about this is that I absolutely love her storytelling and some of her characters have weaseled far enough into my brain that they're still there.
But yknow? I can always rewatch the old stuff. Always daydream new lore and new stories too. Even if it doesn't happen... That's okay. I'm sure those of us who loved her rps might be inspired to make their own!
Aphmau really made my childhood what it is and inspired me to make my own detailed stories with characters I wanted other people to enjoy just as much as I did. I still write a lot of stories now, and I can thank her for part of that creativity I gained during those days!
I had a group of friends that equally loved her content that I roleplayed with often. That was a good 5 years ago, and we're no longer friends... but I still have drawings on my walls and in my sketchbooks to look back on and smile.
I've unsubscribed from A LOT of content creators I loved when I was a kid, but just like a lot of people... I fell out with them as I grew older. I could NEVER bring myself to unsub from Jess though... and I still have her notifications coming through to this day!
It's a bittersweet feeling seeing her posts... Of course I know this might be the new norm, and it's probably best for her and her family to thrive, but apart of me still misses those roleplays.
I can't bring myself to ask for the roleplays back. Like a lot of others, I'll just be patiently waiting for *something*... and I'll always be there to support Jess throughout every change that UA-cam AND her channel goes through.
Love the music you put in at the end!😭✨
I really hope that she could still be able to complete the continuation from Phoenix drop hight to When angles fall and so on the ending of it was just heart breaking for me and i crave for a nex part
Actually, she is bringing back former character from her role plays like Gene and Travis. So, it is possible she will continue roleplays
Not in the way that many of us wish for
Gene's VA Alejandro Saab aka Kaggyfilms aka the Vtuber CyYu, has been doing a lot more things with other people in the past couple of years, so it makes sense
@@theultrasceptile hey her roleplays take time ok? She is bringing one character at a time. I was patient for her last season When Angels Fall as it took her the longest.
@@kevonwinters I’m well aware they take a lot of time, I’m well aware of the global situation, well aware of the fact that she has a family to feed. But in the whole two years this has gone on, she gave no straight damn answer
One of my friends was able to get into contact with one of the cast members of the roleplay from this me and my friend were told they are looking forward to after COVID calms down a bit more and they handle there current content shifting so they don't lose the community. Meaning most likely in a year or two they will be starting to do roleplay again.
Anyone else here in January of 2024?
Anyways, it’s glad to hear Jess has announced Mystreet s7. I now understand why she put everything on hold. She tried juggling around 3-4 stories at once and others just got tired of watching. She really didn’t deserve that, especially with how hard she worked. I think what is happening currently is that she is trying to get everyone back in the office and restart bluejay studios but it’s taking time. That’s why at vidcon, she said “I CANT GUARANTEE that it will be soon but you will get a final season of Mystreet at SOME POINT in the future”. So ig she’s just really burnt out after covid and has been working really hard just to make us happy. Along with that, she has FOUR KIDS and has to deal with our needs. Let’s give her a round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
But for the most part, I really hope she continues her role plays again. They were incredible and full of romance, plot twists, emotion etc. I just hope she doesn’t hurt herself from working too hard, that is my biggest concern.
6:25, I commented like this exact thing on another video. Aphmau had plans but due to COVID they kinda were put on hold. Now that she has a different audience changing it up could potentially kill her channel. As you said, she’d really need some time, if she started again she’s have to very slowly ease into it. But I’ll wait as long as I can for peak, I’ve always loved the story’s Aphmau told.
i remember after mss6 finished and her content started to change, at first i liked it. not as much as the minigames and rps but it was still fun to watch. over that time her context seemed to change and be more targeted to younger audiences, that may just be me though. when that happened since on her community tab there was a post about season 7 being in the works. i had noticed her views dropping with the rps so my guess was, that they needed more funds for rps. that may still be part of the reason and i hope it is. her newer content i do enjoy from what I've watched, it makes me feel like a kid in a odd way, and just makes me happy to see her having fun and same with everyone else. i really do hope one day roleplays will come back, mystreet and my inner demons mainly, and if not i'd be content finding someone or jess herself continuing the story in writing. i don't expect anything but i really wish that we'd get something. i did just as i got distracted from writing found someone who is possibly making continuation from s3 of mystreet, s3 since they didn't like how the next few seasons got dark, haven't read much of it but ignoring the last few seasons, once it gets written it might kinda fill that void of what happens.
I hope that she does get back in touch with the voice actors of mystreet that she stopped kind of talking to, I also hope she does continue the mystreet rp since it was left at a cliff hanger and since her roleplays were the kick start to becoming a successful youtuber who she is now. I don’t really watch her videos anymore but I do tend to rewatch her roleplays just hoping that one day she starts getting back to it again as they are enjoyable but we can only hope.
Thank you! Finally got some one talking about This for the first time in 2 years!!
i really really hope that some day those roleplays come back cause god damn that stuff was literally the highlight of my childhood
Video idea: what happened to all of aphmau’s voice actors ( why did they all quit or leave or get fired)
Finally someone making a video addressing this. I, like many others who were fans of Aphmau, always enjoyed and anticipated whenever a roleplay video came out. I always loved her creative takes on her stories, and you can tell that some of that is still there with the recent content she's been doing since 2020.
However, I believe the heartbreaking and hard to swallow reality? Is she will probably never do these again, or at least like how we as old fans remember. Such reasons as how the old team is gone, and most of the voice actors we all know and love are all gone or just moved on. If she wants to make another Diaries Reboot or a Reboot Story in general, she will have to get so many casting calls out just to find good replacements for most of them.
However I think the only thing that hurts the most and probably gives a slight flicker of hope to some? Is that she's never made a serious video or post about this very topic. She's kept us in the dark for SO LONG and it's infuriating. Even more infuriating is that there are some roleplays that she just left to rot and decay in the archives of UA-cam.
In short, I think it really did just come down to analytics, money, viewership, and of course COVID sending people down the rabbithole of depression and halting the production on things. And I don't think Aphmau is just going to simply give up making these short skit videos because they net her lots of views and probably lots of revenue. It's just the sad truth, and as much as I hate to admit it? There's no way we're getting the content like we used to get from her now.
so many of my childhood mcyts have changed their content a lot of have just up and left yt without a trace or explanation as least. examples being, Popularmmos, Aphmau and basically anyone in the Little Club, many of the the Little Club members left without saying anything or completely deleted their channels/videos
Her RPs as a kid were my childhood, especially diaries. Which is why I was so hyped when she tried to do a remake of it. Obviously it didn't work out. Honestly haven't seen her videos in awhile but I hope she's doing well. I'm older now so I don't really watch much youtube anymore. But I will always miss this part of my childhood. It was the best.
I definitely think their ambitions went unchecked and it got too much to handle at once. Then covid hit and really drove any plans even harder to manage or restore back to normal.
I remember when I found Minecraft Diaries way back in the day. It was my first big fantasy story experience, all wrapped in a Minecraft package. I was about 11 and followed it *religiously* up until the end of season 2. I watched Phoenix Drop high and MyStreet just as routinely. I just loved everything she made. At that point I was starting to grow out of it and I didn’t like the direction the characters and story were going in MCD, but I still greatly appreciated and cared about the series.
I’m sad she likely wont make another series like MCD, but I’m still thankful for what we did get. It was a gigantic inspiration for me, and was definitely pivotal to me growing as an artist and writer.
I always wondered where I’d find other people like me, and now all these years later here everyone is. Funny how that works
honestly im kinda mad i had a aphmau phase (particularly bc turned out there were some pretty awful things going on, like racial stereotyping, and half brother crushing on aphmau.. etc)
This rlly breaks my heart since her rps and even the videos she used to produce in between rps were my favorite. I’ve stopped watching Aphmau when she started making the videos that are her current videos just bc they weren’t doing it for me. I still rewatch the old stuff and I miss it so much.
She had such a unique way of telling stories that used to get me so excited when I was younger. My Inner Demons was the highlight of the day.
I absolutely adored her roleplays back when I was a kid but looking back on all the series I used to love.. they were really problematic. Kawaii-chan; her character and name are.. questionable.. and Aphmau fell into the stereotypical mary sue with a huuge harem (funny because she was writing the stories). Although every season of mystreet holds a deep place in my heart, it hurts to look back on all the aspects of the shows and see a lot of wrongs I couldn't understand as a kid.
I loved Aphmau’s roleplays (Mystreet, PDH/PDD, and My Inner Demons) and it inspired me to keep my creativity up! Though, I wish some things could be like they were before and Aph’s new viewers enjoyed the roleplays as much as the new content.. but I don’t think we’re getting roleplays back anymore
I remember how obsessed I used to be with Aphmau only a couple years ago.. I was always so amazed and excited to watch her videos, as well as any random try not to laughs or what not she would post. So sad now that part of my childhood won’t come back, but at least she is happy and doing well, and that’s all that matters to me. I also remember how one day she had texted me through UA-cam, saying how I had earned a price since I always showed so much support in her videos and commented on many of them. Will never forget how I screamed with joy and told my mom about it, I was so Damon excited. Again, thank you Jess and the crew for giving me such beautiful memories. I’ll definitely be binge watching her old role plays..
I totally understand the change of content, though it does kind of hurt. It would be nice if she did a book series or something to get those stories out there
Phoenix Drop High and MyStreet and all of the seasons related to that portion of her shows were my favourite. Every time she uploaded, I'd watch every single second. I even found new friends that watched her and influenced others to do so. I eventually just got busy with life and forgot about everything I loved when I was younger. When I saw she hadn't posted the things she used to, Zane and Kawaii Chan were still there and Ein and Aaron, so I thought, hmm, maybe she's mixing things up? Then I saw less and less of the old stuff and thought she may've just wanted to try something new. I miss all of the OG Aphmau videos I guess. I still love her and hope she returns to the world of role play though.
I understand its the pandemic and she has a different viewers now, its just sad that those series are going away some are finished. She tried to focus on too many storys at one time. My favorite was my inner demons quiet enjoyable. And i get it they might have had writers block or lost intrest. But alot of people like the old charcters, and new ones came out of no where. Its a shame, we might not get those final parts. But its good that shes enjoying herself and having fun while her new viewers enjoy it to so i think thats a good bonus but u can see some down sides to it for the old storys that have not been fully completed or not any new ones.
It breaks my heart so much. I still go back to Diaries and a few others.. Whole childhood in that series.
honestly i really hope she will make a return i have watching her for 5 or six years and watching as her channel slowly changed from the bubbly fun content like those old hide and seek videos or murder or roleplays to what has basically become a channel for children has really taken a toll cause watching her over the years helped me out a lot whether it be through dark place or just at times i really needed to watch her content it helped me through so much but now i can't rely on a new video with a real driven story anymore
this aged HILARIOUSLY
Her role playing was so goooddd back then. Now her videos are for kids.
It also sucks
It just the lack of communication is what driving the old fan base crazy at this point. We really havent heard anything since that Covid announcement, so it just leaves everything in a huge state of confusion.
Aphmau's roleplay series made me realize at a young age, that you can really make something cool on any kind of medium including minecraft. It's been a bummer seeing her do the content she does now, but I'm happy for experiencing that golden age. It'd be cool to see her step back into it, but I think I've been moved on so long I don't think I'll jump back in.
If you look at her rolplays now it's slowly coming back
I do agree and is bringing back characters, I don’t know what is waiting in the future but whatever it is it will be good!!!
Well .... Shit hope shall still be held even for a smothered flame
Thank you for making this video❤️. For a while I wondered what happened to her RP videos and why she was putting out this new content. Jess’s RP’s are what inspired me as a kid and who I am as an artist today. Ngl my heart is a little broken knowing that we may not get those wonderful times back, but I’m glad she is enjoying herself 😌.
Her stories are more then enough to bring us all types of wonderful and true emotions. If she can't upload like she WANTS to, then that is alright. 🌸🌻💛 she did her absolute best to truck through. Never say never because there's a temporary for everything. And her on break is temporary. We also shouldn't leave her because she isn't making the content we enjoyed most. And im speaking to those who ate her "children" stay true and stick beside her because it's the support and love she needs right now before she could move forward. She did all she could. Let her cup be filled again with more so she can give again.
