==History==
Josh first started out on TikTok back in late March, 2018, making transition and drawing videos. He began doing a few Aphmau related stuff by November and they started gaining a lot of popularity compared to his earlier videos. He continued to post more of them, making him reached almost 40k fans as of now.
Josh started his channel mid March, 2019, and advertised it to his TikTok account giving him a boost in subscribers early on. Josh's content consisted of Human Fall Flat, Minecraft Bedrock, Stick Fight, Apex Legends, and Sea of Thieves with his friend Noah.
Then in late July, 2019, Josh started playing Doki Doki Literature Club and his first Bedrock Survival Series which brought in a lot of new viewers to his channel. After the Doki Doki Literature Club series ended, Josh continued to stream his Survival world and even invited a few of his active viewers to join him. Then on September 22nd, only two months after starting the world, Josh and some of his viewers went and defeated the Ender Dragon, ending the Bedrock Survival series.
Just before the survival world ended, Josh gifted Minecraft Java Edition, allowing him to meet new friends and connect with more of his audience. Josh was invited to a new Minecraft series call The International SMP, this is where Josh met Granolabar, Lasse, LOBO, and Critz. This series only lasted for 7 streams and died out pretty quickly, but Josh continued to play Minecraft with his new friends. A few months later, Josh joined another short lived survival series called Cynical SMP where he met Cyrotech, Shad0ws10rm, and Weedles. This only lasted 3 episodes and the server was deleted after the dragon fight, but never had a finally since everyone in Josh's group either died in the void or their videos got corrupted.
Then on January 23, 2020, Josh hit 1000 subscribers and celebrated with a chill talking Livestream and watched a bunch of old videos with his community. After this point, Josh began uploading more videos instead of streaming and introduced some of his TikTok friends, Grunge_Soda, Arichan.cos, CarbonatedBlues, and LittleMissKeegan and one of his gaming friend DryBones0123/Crspy. Also around this time, Josh began befriending the creator Mithzan by being active in his Livestreams and Fan Games, and now most recently starting to record Minecraft Randomized Hunger Games with his own friends.
Josh decided to take a break in late June after not having enough motivation with editing and dealing with his health. He was talking about taking one few months prior, but the official video came out on July 3rd. Josh's break officially ended on July 20th with a Pokémon Nuzlocke Stream and he jumped straight back into streaming and uploading again with a potential stream and upload schedule.
