"Here's GG signing off. " I closed my video and saved it. Today, I decided to try my hand at Five Night's At Freddy's. This game is truly terrifying but seeing my fans, even if its only 5000 of them, happy, is worth the heart attack. After I uploaded that Let's Play video, I decided to add a vlog talking about this weekend. How I will be heading to Momocon in Georgia and will have a booth open to have a meet and greet with fans and other things.
I stood up from the computer and saw that I had a message. I clicked it open and saw that it was from my inspiration and favorite youtuber, Markiplier. I had to hold back a fangirl scream.
I Remember when I first discovered Markiplier. Me and my little brother were watching Pewdiepie play Slender and someone in the comment sections mentioned Markiplier. We checked it out and from then on I was in love. Well, I mean not really in love since I didn't know the guy personally but in love as in his personality, the way he handled his fans, and the entire vibe of his videos.
It was months from that day, that I decided to try my hand at let's play gaming. At first, I wanted to include a video of my reactions but I didn't know how people would react to me being black, not that I'm not proud of my skin it's just I want people to give me a chance. So, I decided to do it with just the voices. So that's how my career got started. Of course, my first fan was my little brother. He supported me no matter what even though he wasn't here to record them with me, I always asked him what games I should play next.
I thought it was a message to me but actually it was a Vlog saying about him being at Momocon too. I kinda forgot that I was following him and it alerted me of whenever he posted a new video. Hopefully, I'll get to meet him and even get a picture or an autograph. Just the thought made me even more excited and I'll get to see my little brother who I haven't seen in almost five months.
I headed upstairs and began to pack and get ready to leave for Georgia. It would only be a two hour drive but I wanted to enjoy everything so I also booked a hotel for the entire weekend. I am super excited. It's not my first convention but It's the first that I'm going to with a little fame under my belt. If I can exactly call it that.
Honestly, It was about the followers and fame at first, I wanted to make money to prove that I was someone. However, as I grew, I realized that I really just was a normal everyday girl who played video games and wanted to share them with others. If I inspired others and got a little known, then that was a bonus. An incredible bonus.
After I packed, I told Twitter goodnight via a tweet, grabbed a bottle of water and then headed off to bed. I had a long day tomorrow even though I was going just a day early to make sure that I have everything that I needed and to get a good understanding of the area since the last time I was there was last summer with my family.
