Wow... 450 comments in 12 hours. Took me all morning to read through them all and I gotta say there are some really crazy stories out there. Thanks for sharing your stories, guys! It's interesting seeing how people react to being fished, but it's also very interesting to see the reasons why people do it.
On your last video, you asked for video ideas... You should make a whole video dedicated to telling true scary/spooky stories, kind of like be. Busta and darkness prevails.
Your voice is extremely calming to listen to... I don't know why but it's just very pleasant. It's probably because I'm American. EDIT: I've never had this many likes on a comment.
The weirdest thing I've ever been told about my voice especially when it's a very low and calm is apparently it's a turn on which I thought was just kind of creepy but I guess everybody has a certain taste
Not QUITE a Catfish situation but a good story nonetheless that makes for good feels. When I was 12, I went onto a fanforum for a movie I was obsessed with at the time. There were tons of kids and teens on that forum that also loved the movie. We got along very well and everyone was nice to each other. One day, this 15 year old boy and I became friends, but VERY SUDDENLY he had found all of my social medias without me ever giving them to him. I was freaking out, I blocked him on all accounts. BUT THEN he reached out to apologize to me for freaking me out. He expressed that he was very socially awkward and was bullied constantly at school so he didn't know how to make friends. That actually brought us closer. We became each others' emotional support systems for years. Even while I was in the foster system, he continually checked up on me and made every effort to keep in contact with me. When I was 16 and he was 18, he came down from his state for us to meet. I was nervous, but he was exactly as he said he was. We hung for maybe 3 hours before he had to hit the road again. It's four years later and we still talk to each other every single day. I went to graphic design and programming school while he went to med school. No one bullies us anymore. We plan to see each other this summer.
This cyberpunk daydream makeup look, I love it. Also I really like these more sit-down-and-talk videos along with some different video ideas. You're a really interesting person (not just your aesthetic), and even though we're probably never going to meet I like getting to know you (in a NOT weird way). In addition, how did you manage to make me laugh three times in the first two minutes???
I met someone who claimed to be female and had convinced most of our WoW guild of this. While playing one day she has a melt down about her girlfriend. Being the concerned friend I was I reached out to someone else on our server that knew this person amd explained everything. This guy tells me that our female friend was actually male who posed as a female to use people. Funny enough a few years later I actually started dating the guy who told me my guild was being catfished. Then we married. So happy ending to a luckily benign catfish.
I love your voice. I'm older and "normal" looking but I love goth or any unique aesthetic. So when I see someone that looks this way my first thought is "I want to keep looking" (stare). I'm not doing it because I think it's a bad look, I do it because I want to take it all in. I want to see everything and continue to look because I find it beautiful. That is where UA-cam comes in because I can stare at the person and take in every little detail.
So true I was staring at Jake's face thru the entire video. I really like this make up color combo! And I really love Jake's stories. I too am an older woman! Look Jake your fan base is expanding. I share your videos with everyone even people I don't' know. Because I think they might like your music or your look. Or unusual stories.
I just started watching him. Not only is this aesthetic very cool... He pulls it off well. But when you see him without all this... He's still very "classic" looking. And then? This amazing voice and vocabulary comes flowing out of him. He's has a charisma that's infectious. I'm surprised he doesn't have more subs.
I accept your challenge. I pretty much learned my lesson when it came to me catfishing people. If I remember correctly.. I was 14-15 years old and very insecure. I stolen an emo girl's pictures and used them on a chat room that was on an anime site. I got so much attention from these people in the chat room that I was getting before. I was extremely lonely until then so I felt like I was accepted, but also very guilty. I don't remember if I tricked anyone into a relationship then, but I know I tricked people into wanting to be my friend based on pretending I looked like the emo chick in the pictures I stolen. Eventually, someone came across the emo girl's profile on Facebook and exposed it in chat room. I think they even made a post on a forum that was on the anime site about it too. I felt like an idiot. I apologized and I just didn't go back to that chat room after that. And because of that experience I am open and honest. I started practicing self love. It's been 10 years since I did that. And I still feel like an idiot for doing it. I don't even understand why I did anymore.
I've "catfished" someone. When I was in highschool, everyone was blonde and beachy - and I was this awkward redheaded goth kid. I wanted more than anything to know what it was like to be "beautiful." So I found some pictures of a cute blonde tanned girl online, and talked to a boy from my school for a few weeks, pretending to be this girl. It didn't take long for me too chicken out and confess it wasn't me in the pictures. It was all just because I was insecure and really wanted to be someone else.. but I still feel bad about it. Not a proud moment.
Ooooo man, so I was talking to this adorable lil dude on whisper, he was gay and I was in a relationship so there was nothing that would happen. But one day I’m on Omegle, I see him I’m like what?! Hi?! He doesn’t recognize me, even when I show him “our” conversations, but it turns out I was talking to someone who was catfishing with the guys correct name, the only change was portraying him as gay. Became friends with the actual dude, sent catfish a picture of us talking on Omegle, never heard from him again. Still not sure what they wanted from me to this day, but that was a TRIP.
Loving this look on you 😍 also as someone who identifies as sexually fluid who hates to leave the house and spent all my teenage years online, I can relate to this so hard.
I used to catfish before I came out so I met this guy and I was really interested in him but the entire time I spoke as if I was a cis Male. (so I had no idea what to do when he asked for a photo) so I sent him a photo of a friend of mine (with his permission) . So we talked for about 5 months until he decided he wanted to video call. I panicked at that and called my friend and had him video call him with me behind the camera, but it got really romantic and I started crying, and because of that we diced that moment we should work together to admit to him what I had done. I felt so much guilt and shame that I almost puked because I thought that he would only ever love the idea of me and even if he did like how I looked at the time he would hate me for lieing. after he found out he didn't talk to me for about 3 months until he found my real Facebook and we reconnected. I have been friends with him for 5 years now, and I have to say that no matter how great the outcome, we are both still very emotionally damaged by that experience to this day. Moral of the story: don't catfish it not only hurts the other person but also your personal image of yourself and self confidence. P.s. love your music and your videos 🖤
Almost a year late but dam.. but hey, you learned something. And you assumingly didnt do it again. That's what life is, learning things. Worse people have done more and got less out of it.
I made quite a few friends also on VampireFreaks, Gone Gothic(Jesus 😂), MySpace, blah blah. All those old social media's. My story was a bit scarier due to one of my friends I met online had recently deleted all of their social media. At this time in my life, it was 12 years ago, I had just gotten out of a violently abusive relationship. Little did I know, he was stalking me shortly after I kicked his ass out. So back this friend who deleted their social media, and I mean all of it, all of a sudden I they re-add me on MySpace and MSN... OH Boy. So I was like "Hey! What happened?" This friend is a woman, she explained that she had changed her mind but decided to keep her friends list small. Okay understandable. We were talking, she tells me she's driving through my state to get to California, she's heading to San Francisco. Okay makes sense. She wants to meet me in person. I was 20 at this time. I am so excited getting to meet someone who I was close to online, but just online. So we pick a place to meet, 2 weeks go by, day comes. I'm standing there at this location outside waiting, I texted her and was like where are you? Got the response "What? I'm home in Texas. Why?" My heart fucking stopped. So I looked inside this restaurant and there is my abusive ex playing with a steak knife. I immediately called my mother to pick me up and informed the police. He made fake accounts as her. Stole photos. I didn't even think to text her. I hate people sometimes. lol
You have very quickly become one of my favorite youtubers! 😊 It made my day getting a notification from you. Thankfully I don’t have any catfishing stories, but I think that’s mainly bc I’m a hermit and don’t really talk to people online or otherwise 😂
I don't really have a catfish story. But I wanted to let you know that I have been really down lately. Your videos do seem to pick me up for the time that I'm watching. But what sticks with me is how you always remind us that you had a great day, because you made it a great day. I haven't been able to fight thru it myself today. So thank you for putting your video out. Yes, it was therapeutic for you. But - you are helping others whether you realize it or not.
So here I am after having the worst day ever laying in bed drawing to get my mind off of things.. And then boom I stumbled over your channel and good Lord of the darkness I can't stop watching/listening your content! I love your voice and the way you look and present yourself on here. People like you give me hope that there are still so many people who just dgaf about what mainstream people think about them! Dude you're amazing and keep up the good work I'm so happy to have found you on here my day got so much better 💜
Man that questioning is something that many go through. It’s refreshing to hear someone be honest about the process of finding their way. Thanks again.
Oooooh boy i have a catfishing story of a lifetime lol ill try and keep it short but long story short i had a friend who told me they liked me romantically and i rejected them. Months later they introduced me to someone online (their alleged childhood bff) and after months of talking all day every day we were in a long distance online relationship This was my first relationship. It went on for about 8 or 10 months. Eventually i found out it was actually the friend i had rejected. In 3 way chats they had set up 2 computers to be them and my online boyfriend and would converse as both people. They even pretended to be this boyfriends roomate too who would also sometimes chat as well. This all happened so long ago nearly a decade but it defiently gave me some trust issues if im honest lol
did it seem like they were pretending to be someone else or did you feel like you actually knew them better than you did as a friend? Do you regret initially rejecting them?
@@frostfang1 i had no clue for a long time that they were pretending I was also very young at the time and catfishing wasnt really something that was talked about; especially in the context of it being someone you know. And i absolutely still dont regret rejecting them. lol knowing how really manipulative they were to do that and the ability to lie straight face for months and keep up an act and not respecting my "no"... those are not qualities i look for in a partner lol It did teach me some hard lessons i clearly needed to learn though
My catfish/catfishing stories are so long lol.... I was catfished for 5 years and up to the time when he was "flying out to meet me" then he disappeared off of social media. And when I catfished someone, it was my now ex best friend, she pulled some super shady stuff so I pretended to be someone I wasn't to get the truth(big mess) Love your videos and can't wait for more ^_^
Ahhhhh! You are so amazing I’m so happy to see other people who go through their lives in a similar fashion to me! I tend create the same affect with people and I loved to hear your point of view with the sparks behind their eyes. Keep redefining beauty in your own terms darling and keep up the fabulous content 💚
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you’re filming in makeup again, Jake! I watched your daily vlogs and enjoyed them, but it’s so wonderful to see you expressing yourself in full esthetic glory! And thank you for sharing this story! This will help so many people understand that it’s perfectly normal to explore your sexuality!!! You’ve done a great thing here! Bravo! ✌️🖤✨
I was catfished a few times! The saddest one happened when I was around 14 (so 2007-ish.) I was talking to this guy from the states and he was this adorable little emo kid from what I remember. Little me was smitten! I had a bunch of people I didnt know on MSN at the time, so I was just looking to make some new friends. This girl from the UK added me and we got to talking about life and relationships. So I showed her the picture of the guy I was talking to, ends up it was a picture of her brother. Thankfully they were all cool about it and I became friends with her and her brother. Never did find out who I was talking to, but I blocked him pretty quickly when I found out he was a catfish.
I have been binge watching your vids for the past 3 hours now. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you, I love your style and your body language and just everything! Ugh I adore you!!! I immediately subscribed and hit the bell hahaha can't wait for the next video 🖤
Hoping birthday re do will be 1,000% better! Thank you for sharing such a personal story, I've never been catfished or catfished anyone but this is so scary how often it happens!
Seeing the amounts of likes on this I'mma work on it right now. If y'all want to see, my username on Instagram is the same as here :P (oof that's sounds an awful lot like self promo, my apologies for that)
1:24 the way you said objectively was like so strange to me for some reason idk why Well I just remembered it reminds me of the dang “the world is ending” vine and idk why well okay
Also I love that at the end of your videos you mention making it a great day. That's so hard to do and to see someone else understand the fight and struggle to make it a great day....yes. just..yes
No extravagant or titillating story here, but back in the day when I was like...10-12 on Preteen Planet I did occasionally pretend to be a dude to get online girlfriends. Lmfao. I've pretty much known from an early age that I was Bi\Pansexual , so getting acquainted with and utilizing my masculine energy (especially during the preteen years) was very interesting and formative in terms of being comfortable in myself and accepting my gender and identity. Interesting story though, dude. ^.^ Also, observing you both in makeup and without, you seem to be more natural.. more yourself when you're wearing makeup as opposed to when you're not.. Idk.. It seems like you're more secure and comfortable in your own skin and your personality really shines through a lot more when you're all made-up ^.^. Dunno if it's just me...or if I'm wrong or what, but the comparison is interesting nonetheless...Hope that made sense..Lol Cheers!
i was thinking the reverse. That the makeup suits his personality, rather than him being more comfortable, that it somehow comes off as being an extension of how he expresses himself, how he talks and gestures and his expressions. That it comes off more theatrical when he isnt wearing makeup(so maybe hes conscious of this and holds back), but is so much more natural when he is. I dont know if im explaining the difference properly. Its almost like i see him waving his hands and speaking and a speech bubble appears and decends on him and pops when it touches his face and splashes the appropriate makeup onto him. it is not applied and reveals, it comes forth.
I honestly do not know how I stumbled upon your videos but I'm very glad. I love your style and how it's very different and sorta unique in it's own way. And your voice sounds so lovely it is almost calming for me.
You are such a cool person. I've tried to express myself in a similar manner to you (makeup, contacts, clothes) but it's a tad difficult in my household. It's really inspiring to see such an articulate, quirky, and fantastically unique person just being who they want to be. Thank you!
Haaaaaaaahhhh do I have a story for you. I think I was about 18 or 19 years old and I was in my goth phase I still kind of em but in a different way. Anyways I was talking to this guy on Myspace and we have been talking for a while he lived in the same city as I did but I'm usually very careful so we decided to you know meet up. What I show up at the mall we decided we're going to meet in Spencer's or was it hot topic no it was Spencer's. so he says that he's going to be there in 15 minutes so I'm inside Spencer's and I'm just walking around looking at everything at that time I had gauges. So I was looking at the tunnels and all the jewelry they had while I was waiting for him. So 15 minutes goes by and he texts me saying that he's about to come into Spencer's so I go and stand at the door. Well I was really surprised by who walked in and first you know I was like what the fuc. because I thought it was just my friend from school you know so I was like okay what's up and she explains that she was the one behind that Myspace profile. I was so pissed off I'm so pissed off but for a while there we ended up dating because she was like one of my best friends and she explained to me how she felt about me so you know I like okay maybe this will work she knew I was bisexual but I thought she was straight until she started developing feelings for me. Oh yeah that's my story.
So , I was 13/14 trying to convince myself I wasn’t queer, and a guy from school hits me up trying saying it was his friend thinking even tho I looked spooky I was super cute. So I add this guy up on Snapchat & Facebook. We were talking, I was like super innocent back then so when he said send pics he got purely selfies and then he wanted to meet , and there’s a McDonald’s like 5 minuets down my road so I said there but I brought a friend with me cos I was scared. The guy never turns up, turns out he had a girlfriend and him and his mate had set this up so I’d get bullied at school. I never trusted Random people/ strangers on social media since.
Jake I love the color choices in your make-up! I don't have a catfish story, but hearing your stories are intriguing. I always look forward to your videos and get excited to watch whenever you post them. The way you embrace who you are is awesome :) I've spent my whole 32 years on this earth and finally feel comfortable enough in my own skin to be myself. Watching your blogs from several years ago, I too strayed away from my default state and recently returned to how I felt most like myself. Thank you for making your videos, I hope to see goth vlogs in the future!
HONESTY I LOVE WATCHING YOU AT 2am because that’s normally when I start to fall asleep or my insomnia kicks in. I suffer from personality disorder and passive depression so watching your videos help me sleep in a weird soothing way. I’m going to admit that it may be your calming voice and I am so appreciated of it and you yourself. You’re beautiful you and Kaya ❤️🙏 thank you so much for the entertainment and just being you!
I've never actually been catfished.. The way they act is pretty cookie cutter to me. So the longest it's taken to guarantee someone was is 15 minutes. On another note, your last video came up in my recommendations for some reason. I enjoyed it so much that I checked out a couple more and decided to subscribe. The looks you implement are very creative and uniquely stylish, while the content is varied and refreshing. Keep up the good work.
We all appreciate you, Jake. Hope you come out of your funk soon; I’m sorry your birthday wasn’t a good one. Your makeup is very unique and eye catching too. Can’t wait for new music🤘🏻
I'm very recent to your channel, and I thoroughly enjoy your content! I subscribed just last night in fact. I was up at 2am trying to finish an English Essay, and looking for videos to play in the background, I found your video and I got so pulled in by your personality and sarcasm that I ended up not finishing my essay. But I don't regret it, because I found a UA-camr(you) that I can relate to and laugh with! So yeah, you're pretty cool. And yes your voice is cool too, but to me that's just a bonus lol. I hope your 2nd birthday goes amazing!
I see the spontaneous Jake. The whole point of blogging is to show all your sides....(which takes guts to do so). Puts u on the level with your viewers. You're someone out there that can relate to what you just said. You chose to show that side. So it might not be flashy Jake or whatever u feel at the time... someone needed to hear this. Plus it's what ur fans want. YOU!!! 🖤💚🖤
I honestly don’t have any stories, though I enjoyed yours. Ever since i was in school i remember watching a documentary about someone who got catfished. And it scared me so much!
Oh also, sorry you had a crappy birthday :( I hope you aren't feeling depressed now and hope you are feeling better :) You shouldn't worry about people's expectations so much! Your true fans are gonna support you no matter what and we are understanding so yeah your mental health and well being should be your number one priority! Okay? So take care of yourself ❤
I hope birthday round 2 put a smile on your face. Congrats on your channel doing well. I am sure I was catfished at some point cause I was a teen in the really early days of the internet, thankfully nothing bad ever happened though.
I just discovered you in reccomended and I subbed. Your personality is very unique ans you are a pleasure to listen to. I love your individualism and hope to be as confident one day.
Random person on the interwebs here... And thought I would say... You seem like a very interesting and lovely soul. I just started watching your vlogs from the start (yesterday... afternoon...and I haven't slept... I'm still watching them). Ha. Not intending to sound creepy... Or am I? No one knows... It is quite refreshing to see a man who wears alternative fashion and is open with his life in the ways you have been thus far... (who also goes to the gym and understands the importance of self love from the inside out)... I love and respect your intelligence and creativity... and wish to thank you for being so genuine and friendly... Means a lot to people like me... Who may or may not have any friends or family.... Who enjoy the alternative life... Who live in the shadows and hiss at the mailman from within the hermit cave... My cat is the only one who has yet to judge... And on that... I can only truly assume. Ha. You have a great sense of humor, and I actually think your voice would be grand for ASMR... And other things. Thanks for being amazing. If you do not see this comment, I won't be astonished. One black pebble awash beneath the void of yet another mass of mystery that is people... I'm familiar with the feeling... But one can hope... And dream. Have a wonderful day... Because you've made mine the same... (: Sincerely, Random Stranger ...on the Internet P.S. I just reminded myself that this video was about an experience you had with catfishing... And that I just made myself sound extra creepy, indeed. Haha. I regret nothing!
Nothing weirder than when I used to get messages from people letting me know that there were accounts pretending to be me, I also always kind of felt that they were better at being me than me!! Haha Great video as always! And that makeup!!! YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO INADEQUATE JAKE!!
You are such an inspiring person Jake. With many interesting stories. Lol I imagine everyone here sitting at a campfire and you are the head story teller
Wow... 450 comments in 12 hours. Took me all morning to read through them all and I gotta say there are some really crazy stories out there. Thanks for sharing your stories, guys! It's interesting seeing how people react to being fished, but it's also very interesting to see the reasons why people do it.
You should tell scary stories ur voice is perfect to it jst going ur channel love the look love from ireland☘☘☘😂
Your amazing don't let anybody tell you differently! You deserve all the recognition your getting.
On your last video, you asked for video ideas... You should make a whole video dedicated to telling true scary/spooky stories, kind of like be. Busta and darkness prevails.
Jerrberr that's what I was saying voice is perfect for it
Are you Welsh? From Wales? Coz like um same and I've never seen an Welsh UA-camr
Guy doesn’t show on a rainy day
*sad violin intensifies*
When I was a teenage girl, I used to pretend like I was a gay man in chatrooms... Now I AM a gay man.
It's late and took me a long time to get this, but congrats on your transition bro
Same dude. I would make cute goth ocs to roleplay as then I realized "oh....I AM the cute goth boy.."
Why is this sentence long story so well written and better than some popular literature nowadays?
Same
FUCKING ME TOO BRO
Your voice is extremely calming to listen to... I don't know why but it's just very pleasant. It's probably because I'm American.
EDIT: I've never had this many likes on a comment.
Also, the tone is pleasant
Fatal Tuffles I completely agree with you
Official snack
I fall asleep listening to him at night! LURVVVV HIS VOICE!
The weirdest thing I've ever been told about my voice especially when it's a very low and calm is apparently it's a turn on which I thought was just kind of creepy but I guess everybody has a certain taste
You remind me of Hades, and I'm kinda digging it.
honestly though haha
Truer words have never been spoken.
My lord it is!!!! A x
Not QUITE a Catfish situation but a good story nonetheless that makes for good feels.

It's four years later and we still talk to each other every single day. I went to graphic design and programming school while he went to med school. No one bullies us anymore. We plan to see each other this summer.
Zethany love this 💕
awesome 💚
That's actually cute, but not catfished 👌💜
Adorable
That’s great
This cyberpunk daydream makeup look, I love it. Also I really like these more sit-down-and-talk videos along with some different video ideas. You're a really interesting person (not just your aesthetic), and even though we're probably never going to meet I like getting to know you (in a NOT weird way). In addition, how did you manage to make me laugh three times in the first two minutes???
I met someone who claimed to be female and had convinced most of our WoW guild of this. While playing one day she has a melt down about her girlfriend. Being the concerned friend I was I reached out to someone else on our server that knew this person amd explained everything. This guy tells me that our female friend was actually male who posed as a female to use people. Funny enough a few years later I actually started dating the guy who told me my guild was being catfished. Then we married. So happy ending to a luckily benign catfish.
Best quote of all this year. "Online teen romances are kinda fun" ~Jake. This literally described my whole teen relationships
sames lmao
Ack me too!?!?
"Hey dude! NICE BULGE!" Priceless!
I'd watch Jake stumble through his orientation, I'd watch Jake stumble around anything.
I love your voice. I'm older and "normal" looking but I love goth or any unique aesthetic. So when I see someone that looks this way my first thought is "I want to keep looking" (stare). I'm not doing it because I think it's a bad look, I do it because I want to take it all in. I want to see everything and continue to look because I find it beautiful. That is where UA-cam comes in because I can stare at the person and take in every little detail.
Ditto.
I understand this!
Totally agree! 🖤
So true I was staring at Jake's face thru the entire video. I really like this make up color combo! And I really love Jake's stories. I too am an older woman! Look Jake your fan base is expanding. I share your videos with everyone even people I don't' know. Because I think they might like your music or your look. Or unusual stories.
I just started watching him. Not only is this aesthetic very cool... He pulls it off well. But when you see him without all this... He's still very "classic" looking. And then? This amazing voice and vocabulary comes flowing out of him. He's has a charisma that's infectious. I'm surprised he doesn't have more subs.
I accept your challenge. I pretty much learned my lesson when it came to me catfishing people. If I remember correctly.. I was 14-15 years old and very insecure. I stolen an emo girl's pictures and used them on a chat room that was on an anime site. I got so much attention from these people in the chat room that I was getting before.

I've "catfished" someone.
When I was in highschool, everyone was blonde and beachy - and I was this awkward redheaded goth kid. I wanted more than anything to know what it was like to be "beautiful." So I found some pictures of a cute blonde tanned girl online, and talked to a boy from my school for a few weeks, pretending to be this girl.
It didn't take long for me too chicken out and confess it wasn't me in the pictures.
It was all just because I was insecure and really wanted to be someone else.. but I still feel bad about it. Not a proud moment.

Kat Smith that's craaaazy, what a trip
your accent sounds like you were born in england, then moved to new zealand, then spent time in australia, then moved to america lmao
yeah lmaooo
Loving this look on you 😍 also as someone who identifies as sexually fluid who hates to leave the house and spent all my teenage years online, I can relate to this so hard.
I don’t know what it is. But I find you fascinating. You have a magnetic personality.
I used to catfish before I came out so I met this guy and I was really interested in him but the entire time I spoke as if I was a cis Male. (so I had no idea what to do when he asked for a photo) so I sent him a photo of a friend of mine (with his permission) . So we talked for about 5 months until he decided he wanted to video call. I panicked at that and called my friend and had him video call him with me behind the camera, but it got really romantic and I started crying, and because of that we diced that moment we should work together to admit to him what I had done. I felt so much guilt and shame that I almost puked because I thought that he would only ever love the idea of me and even if he did like how I looked at the time he would hate me for lieing. after he found out he didn't talk to me for about 3 months until he found my real Facebook and we reconnected. I have been friends with him for 5 years now, and I have to say that no matter how great the outcome, we are both still very emotionally damaged by that experience to this day.
Moral of the story: don't catfish it not only hurts the other person but also your personal image of yourself and self confidence.
P.s. love your music and your videos 🖤
Almost a year late but dam.. but hey, you learned something. And you assumingly didnt do it again. That's what life is, learning things. Worse people have done more and got less out of it.
Does anyone love his voice I mean his voice is so soothing lol 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Dude, I could hear you talking for dayyyss. Also keep up the great content 👐🔥
I made quite a few friends also on VampireFreaks, Gone Gothic(Jesus 😂), MySpace, blah blah. All those old social media's. My story was a bit scarier due to one of my friends I met online had recently deleted all of their social media. At this time in my life, it was 12 years ago, I had just gotten out of a violently abusive relationship. Little did I know, he was stalking me shortly after I kicked his ass out. So back this friend who deleted their social media, and I mean all of it, all of a sudden I they re-add me on MySpace and MSN...
OH Boy.
So I was like "Hey! What happened?"
This friend is a woman, she explained that she had changed her mind but decided to keep her friends list small.
Okay understandable. We were talking, she tells me she's driving through my state to get to California, she's heading to San Francisco. Okay makes sense. She wants to meet me in person. I was 20 at this time.
I am so excited getting to meet someone who I was close to online, but just online. So we pick a place to meet, 2 weeks go by, day comes. I'm standing there at this location outside waiting, I texted her and was like where are you? Got the response "What? I'm home in Texas. Why?"
My heart fucking stopped. So I looked inside this restaurant and there is my abusive ex playing with a steak knife. I immediately called my mother to pick me up and informed the police.
He made fake accounts as her. Stole photos. I didn't even think to text her. I hate people sometimes. lol
Omgg I'm so glad you got outta there safe! Did ur ex get in trouble with the cops?
@@EVILx3MPIRE He did! He went to jail for about 6 months.
@@kaijuskum5075 fuck yeah! That's the kinda shit I like to hear lol. Did he ever bother you again?
You have very quickly become one of my favorite youtubers! 😊 It made my day getting a notification from you.
Thankfully I don’t have any catfishing stories, but I think that’s mainly bc I’m a hermit and don’t really talk to people online or otherwise 😂
Agreed.
My bisexual little heart appreciates you even more for this, and for being open about it ♡
....OBJECTIVELY.....bwahahaha!!!!!!
How you edit to express yourself is brilliant and part of the story, is so very enjoyable!
I don't really have a catfish story. But I wanted to let you know that I have been really down lately. Your videos do seem to pick me up for the time that I'm watching. But what sticks with me is how you always remind us that you had a great day, because you made it a great day. I haven't been able to fight thru it myself today. So thank you for putting your video out. Yes, it was therapeutic for you. But - you are helping others whether you realize it or not.
Your voice is amazing! ✨👌🏼
So here I am after having the worst day ever laying in bed drawing to get my mind off of things.. And then boom I stumbled over your channel and good Lord of the darkness I can't stop watching/listening your content! I love your voice and the way you look and present yourself on here. People like you give me hope that there are still so many people who just dgaf about what mainstream people think about them! Dude you're amazing and keep up the good work I'm so happy to have found you on here my day got so much better 💜
youre giving me zen between work and playing my set.. this came at a perfect time!! mad respect
Man that questioning is something that many go through. It’s refreshing to hear someone be honest about the process of finding their way.
Thanks again.
Happy Late Birthday Jake !
You have such a pleasant, calming, unique speaking voice. I think I could listen to you speak about almost anything.
Oooooh boy i have a catfishing story of a lifetime lol ill try and keep it short but long story short i had a friend who told me they liked me romantically and i rejected them. Months later they introduced me to someone online (their alleged childhood bff) and after months of talking all day every day we were in a long distance online relationship
This was my first relationship. It went on for about 8 or 10 months. Eventually i found out it was actually the friend i had rejected. In 3 way chats they had set up 2 computers to be them and my online boyfriend and would converse as both people. They even pretended to be this boyfriends roomate too who would also sometimes chat as well.
This all happened so long ago nearly a decade but it defiently gave me some trust issues if im honest lol
did it seem like they were pretending to be someone else or did you feel like you actually knew them better than you did as a friend? Do you regret initially rejecting them?
@@frostfang1 i had no clue for a long time that they were pretending
I was also very young at the time and catfishing wasnt really something that was talked about; especially in the context of it being someone you know.
And i absolutely still dont regret rejecting them. lol knowing how really manipulative they were to do that and the ability to lie straight face for months and keep up an act and not respecting my "no"... those are not qualities i look for in a partner lol
It did teach me some hard lessons i clearly needed to learn though
I can just lay down on my bed and listen to your voice the whole day. Its so peaceful and beautiful, agh.
I love green and purple together.
Your make-up looks beautiful creepy.
It really does😍😍😍
Same
My catfish/catfishing stories are so long lol.... I was catfished for 5 years and up to the time when he was "flying out to meet me" then he disappeared off of social media.
And when I catfished someone, it was my now ex best friend, she pulled some super shady stuff so I pretended to be someone I wasn't to get the truth(big mess)
Love your videos and can't wait for more ^_^
Once upon a time I didn't had wi-fi so used to catfish old men for phone credit HAHAHAHA
Ahhhhh! You are so amazing I’m so happy to see other people who go through their lives in a similar fashion to me! I tend create the same affect with people and I loved to hear your point of view with the sparks behind their eyes. Keep redefining beauty in your own terms darling and keep up the fabulous content 💚
WSS! :)
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you’re filming in makeup again, Jake! I watched your daily vlogs and enjoyed them, but it’s so wonderful to see you expressing yourself in full esthetic glory! And thank you for sharing this story! This will help so many people understand that it’s perfectly normal to explore your sexuality!!! You’ve done a great thing here! Bravo! ✌️🖤✨
I was catfished a few times! The saddest one happened when I was around 14 (so 2007-ish.) I was talking to this guy from the states and he was this adorable little emo kid from what I remember. Little me was smitten! I had a bunch of people I didnt know on MSN at the time, so I was just looking to make some new friends. This girl from the UK added me and we got to talking about life and relationships. So I showed her the picture of the guy I was talking to, ends up it was a picture of her brother. Thankfully they were all cool about it and I became friends with her and her brother. Never did find out who I was talking to, but I blocked him pretty quickly when I found out he was a catfish.
I have been binge watching your vids for the past 3 hours now. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you, I love your style and your body language and just everything! Ugh I adore you!!! I immediately subscribed and hit the bell hahaha can't wait for the next video 🖤
Hoping birthday re do will be 1,000% better! Thank you for sharing such a personal story, I've never been catfished or catfished anyone but this is so scary how often it happens!
I think your mismatched accent is perfect. Very unique sounding :)
Dude, you are so beatufuli inside and out and I love how you're in tune with yourself. UA-cam recommendations finally did good!
I really should draw you some fan art also your make-up in this video looks super awesome
espurr is possessed do itttt!
Seeing the amounts of likes on this I'mma work on it right now. If y'all want to see, my username on Instagram is the same as here :P (oof that's sounds an awful lot like self promo, my apologies for that)
Binged so many videos XD so refreshing to see more authentic channels. I love everything, your content, voice, style, talent, honesty. Keep it up!!
You look mystical, ethereal, and I love it.
You are a total jewel, Jake. You always make me smile. I don't mean by your sad story, but things happen for a reason.
1:24 the way you said objectively was like so strange to me for some reason idk why
Well I just remembered it reminds me of the dang “the world is ending” vine and idk why well okay
I love that you side ramble while you tell your stories.
Lovveee when you say "looking at them, objectively" your voice reminded me of Tim Curry in RHPS at that moment lol love it!
You are so visually, and audibly pleasing to watch. Your sense of humor is wonderful as well.
I have thankfully never been
Catfished. I never have used dating sites either. I always found ppl i date from death metal concerts.
Also I love that at the end of your videos you mention making it a great day. That's so hard to do and to see someone else understand the fight and struggle to make it a great day....yes. just..yes
New subscriber 🙋♀️ I really like your style it's unique and gives me slight joker vibes. Enjoying your content so far!!
My heart broke when jake said "and it was raining."
I like that a lot: "MAKE it a great day"... Feel better!
Loving the makeup colors here. Also I find your voice incredibly soothing.
No extravagant or titillating story here, but back in the day when I was like...10-12 on Preteen Planet I did occasionally pretend to be a dude to get online girlfriends. Lmfao. I've pretty much known from an early age that I was Bi\Pansexual , so getting acquainted with and utilizing my masculine energy (especially during the preteen years) was very interesting and formative in terms of being comfortable in myself and accepting my gender and identity.
Interesting story though, dude. ^.^
Also, observing you both in makeup and without, you seem to be more natural.. more yourself when you're wearing makeup as opposed to when you're not.. Idk.. It seems like you're more secure and comfortable in your own skin and your personality really shines through a lot more when you're all made-up ^.^.
Dunno if it's just me...or if I'm wrong or what, but the comparison is interesting nonetheless...Hope that made sense..Lol
Cheers!
i was thinking the reverse. That the makeup suits his personality, rather than him being more comfortable, that it somehow comes off as being an extension of how he expresses himself, how he talks and gestures and his expressions. That it comes off more theatrical when he isnt wearing makeup(so maybe hes conscious of this and holds back), but is so much more natural when he is. I dont know if im explaining the difference properly. Its almost like i see him waving his hands and speaking and a speech bubble appears and decends on him and pops when it touches his face and splashes the appropriate makeup onto him. it is not applied and reveals, it comes forth.
I honestly do not know how I stumbled upon your videos but I'm very glad. I love your style and how it's very different and sorta unique in it's own way. And your voice sounds so lovely it is almost calming for me.
Getting Ariel vibes from the makeup, lol
weirdly reminds me of a mermaidy version of Iwan rheon in Charlottes Song
You are such a cool person. I've tried to express myself in a similar manner to you (makeup, contacts, clothes) but it's a tad difficult in my household. It's really inspiring to see such an articulate, quirky, and fantastically unique person just being who they want to be. Thank you!
Your gorgeous and I love hearing your voice..very calming!
Your voice is so soothing i like watching your videos before i sleep
Haaaaaaaahhhh do I have a story for you. I think I was about 18 or 19 years old and I was in my goth phase I still kind of em but in a different way. Anyways I was talking to this guy on Myspace and we have been talking for a while he lived in the same city as I did but I'm usually very careful so we decided to you know meet up. What I show up at the mall we decided we're going to meet in Spencer's or was it hot topic no it was Spencer's. so he says that he's going to be there in 15 minutes so I'm inside Spencer's and I'm just walking around looking at everything at that time I had gauges. So I was looking at the tunnels and all the jewelry they had while I was waiting for him. So 15 minutes goes by and he texts me saying that he's about to come into Spencer's so I go and stand at the door. Well I was really surprised by who walked in and first you know I was like what the fuc. because I thought it was just my friend from school you know so I was like okay what's up and she explains that she was the one behind that Myspace profile. I was so pissed off I'm so pissed off but for a while there we ended up dating because she was like one of my best friends and she explained to me how she felt about me so you know I like okay maybe this will work she knew I was bisexual but I thought she was straight until she started developing feelings for me. Oh yeah that's my story.
Thanks for being you. Needed everything you are.
I love UA-camrs who read their comments 🖤
Oh vampire freaks, was fun when it first started. What a throw back! I remember face the jury, the dilly and dead journal.
So , I was 13/14 trying to convince myself I wasn’t queer, and a guy from school hits me up trying saying it was his friend thinking even tho I looked spooky I was super cute. So I add this guy up on Snapchat & Facebook. We were talking, I was like super innocent back then so when he said send pics he got purely selfies and then he wanted to meet , and there’s a McDonald’s like 5 minuets down my road so I said there but I brought a friend with me cos I was scared. The guy never turns up, turns out he had a girlfriend and him and his mate had set this up so I’d get bullied at school. I never trusted Random people/ strangers on social media since.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. You deserve more ❤️
Jake I love the color choices in your make-up! I don't have a catfish story, but hearing your stories are intriguing. I always look forward to your videos and get excited to watch whenever you post them. The way you embrace who you are is awesome :) I've spent my whole 32 years on this earth and finally feel comfortable enough in my own skin to be myself. Watching your blogs from several years ago, I too strayed away from my default state and recently returned to how I felt most like myself. Thank you for making your videos, I hope to see goth vlogs in the future!
Did you tell the dude that his pictures were being used to catfish people?
The makeup look is pretty baller and the video was very interesting.
HONESTY I LOVE WATCHING YOU AT 2am because that’s normally when I start to fall asleep or my insomnia kicks in. I suffer from personality disorder and passive depression so watching your videos help me sleep in a weird soothing way. I’m going to admit that it may be your calming voice and I am so appreciated of it and you yourself. You’re beautiful you and Kaya ❤️🙏 thank you so much for the entertainment and just being you!
You should read books outloud as a side job from UA-cam. Your voice is perfect for it 👌
I love how you connect with your fanbase, you really put the effort in
Its like Dr.Jake&Mister.Hyde...i love it indeedly'💙
Omfg, Vampire Freaks, I haven't thought about that site in like 14 years lololol
LOOOOVE THE PURPLE!!! 💜💜💜
I'm glad you shared, love to get to know you, and how you are real with us. Loving the look btw! Real fun
I've never actually been catfished.. The way they act is pretty cookie cutter to me. So the longest it's taken to guarantee someone was is 15 minutes.
On another note, your last video came up in my recommendations for some reason. I enjoyed it so much that I checked out a couple more and decided to subscribe. The looks you implement are very creative and uniquely stylish, while the content is varied and refreshing. Keep up the good work.
Man u need at LEAST 3 million subs by now. You're funny asf and your recording style is addicting to watch 💜
We all appreciate you, Jake. Hope you come out of your funk soon; I’m sorry your birthday wasn’t a good one. Your makeup is very unique and eye catching too. Can’t wait for new music🤘🏻
I'm very recent to your channel, and I thoroughly enjoy your content! I subscribed just last night in fact. I was up at 2am trying to finish an English Essay, and looking for videos to play in the background, I found your video and I got so pulled in by your personality and sarcasm that I ended up not finishing my essay. But I don't regret it, because I found a UA-camr(you) that I can relate to and laugh with! So yeah, you're pretty cool. And yes your voice is cool too, but to me that's just a bonus lol. I hope your 2nd birthday goes amazing!
I see the spontaneous Jake. The whole point of blogging is to show all your sides....(which takes guts to do so). Puts u on the level with your viewers. You're someone out there that can relate to what you just said. You chose to show that side. So it might not be flashy Jake or whatever u feel at the time... someone needed to hear this. Plus it's what ur fans want. YOU!!! 🖤💚🖤
I honestly don’t have any stories, though I enjoyed yours. Ever since i was in school i remember watching a documentary about someone who got catfished. And it scared me so much!
How scary. Imagine someone stealing and using your photos pretending to be you. ):
I am so happy that came across you and your channel!
You Are basicly in everyone of my nightmares , and I freaking love it
I'm now addicted to your stories haha, so happy i found this channel and you!
Oh also, sorry you had a crappy birthday :( I hope you aren't feeling depressed now and hope you are feeling better :) You shouldn't worry about people's expectations so much! Your true fans are gonna support you no matter what and we are understanding so yeah your mental health and well being should be your number one priority! Okay? So take care of yourself ❤
Can't stop binge watching your videos....
I just enjoy listening to you talk, it can be about anything and I would listen
I came across you, for the first time today. I could watch you all day. Love the style, love your voice. Keep up the good work.
Happy belated birthday jake! Sorry you had a bad day but hopfully your redo will be much better♡
I came across you browsing Killstar reviews and goddamn you are so pleasant and I can't stop watching.
I hope birthday round 2 put a smile on your face. Congrats on your channel doing well. I am sure I was catfished at some point cause I was a teen in the really early days of the internet, thankfully nothing bad ever happened though.
I just discovered you in reccomended and I subbed. Your personality is very unique ans you are a pleasure to listen to. I love your individualism and hope to be as confident one day.
Random person on the interwebs here... And thought I would say...
You seem like a very interesting and lovely soul. I just started watching your vlogs from the start (yesterday... afternoon...and I haven't slept... I'm still watching them). Ha. Not intending to sound creepy... Or am I? No one knows... It is quite refreshing to see a man who wears alternative fashion and is open with his life in the ways you have been thus far... (who also goes to the gym and understands the importance of self love from the inside out)... I love and respect your intelligence and creativity... and wish to thank you for being so genuine and friendly... Means a lot to people like me... Who may or may not have any friends or family.... Who enjoy the alternative life... Who live in the shadows and hiss at the mailman from within the hermit cave... My cat is the only one who has yet to judge... And on that... I can only truly assume. Ha. You have a great sense of humor, and I actually think your voice would be grand for ASMR... And other things. Thanks for being amazing. If you do not see this comment, I won't be astonished. One black pebble awash beneath the void of yet another mass of mystery that is people... I'm familiar with the feeling... But one can hope... And dream. Have a wonderful day... Because you've made mine the same... (:
Sincerely,
Random Stranger
...on the Internet
P.S. I just reminded myself that this video was about an experience you had with catfishing... And that I just made myself sound extra creepy, indeed. Haha. I regret nothing!
Nothing weirder than when I used to get messages from people letting me know that there were accounts pretending to be me, I also always kind of felt that they were better at being me than me!! Haha
Great video as always! And that makeup!!! YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO INADEQUATE JAKE!!
You are such an inspiring person Jake. With many interesting stories. Lol I imagine everyone here sitting at a campfire and you are the head story teller
Okay first off, I love how chill you are. And second I'd love to see more story-times
