==Channel History==
===Early Era (2016 - 2020)===
Stropion first created her channel at February 6, 2016, going by he/him at the time and posting their first video at October 15 of the same year, "(Roblox) escaping prison and being a town protecter! [Unfinished]." Stropion had a very slow growing channel, only achieving 50 Subscribers by around November 2018 and 100 Subscribers by approximately September 2019.
She would start creating primarily Roblox videos before making a slither.io videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBVnPbE09kQ at 30 Subscribers and Part 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLbvlda5s7c of her first Stickfigure Tournamenthttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhwE98MuiJfRr0bGCC-UZ1UfwFqqJ0WKb at 50 which sparked a much longer era of Stick Nodeshttps://sticknodes.com/ animation. She started making short series that wouldn't really get far and ended fast, including her second Stickfigure Tournament, The Mysterious Murderer, The Color Games, The Dark Lord, and many others that didn't come to fruition.
The Dark Lord in particular was one of the more important ones. It's first appearance was when a trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKluweH-f8Q for it dropped in March 3, 2019, one that very blatantly stole lines and plotlines from ObliviousHD's Blox Watch trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOkSLO_dlrk Multiple other videos like sneak peeks, more trailers, and other videos related to it eventually lead to the first episode of the series finally being released on July 22, 2019. The series continued until its fourth and final episode dropped on December 30 of the same year, eventually leading to its cancellation.
===Totally The Color Games (2020 - 2022)===
Totally The Color Games is a reboot of the much older series The Color Games. Its main premise is that its a reality show starring colored stickfigures as its contestants with Stropion's persona as the host, much like its older counterpart, however this time the characters' personalities are completely changed and the series essentially treats itself as a joke, even being made in MS Paint and in real-time. This was mostly to make fun of The Color Games for practically being a ripoff of well-known web series Inanimate Insanity Season 2, down to the lines and personalities.
The series was made with the assistance of a friend, and it quickly spawned another mini-series titled TTCG Shorts, mostly starring one of its characters, Orange, going on random adventures instead of participating in a contest. TTCG Shorts saw its final episode at June 8, 2020, while TTCG itself had its finale 4 days later. Both series were later discontinued.
Other videos were made during and after Stropion's focus on Totally The Color Games, notable ones being her former most popular video "[SPOILERS] Undertale: Last Breath [OFFICIAL] - Phase 3 Completion," multiple videos on Roblox game Jojo Poses Simulator, a failed Multi-Animator Project for 200 Subscribers, and the "first episode" for a remastered version of The Dark Lord that turned out to just be an April Fools joke, with the actual video being an earrape cover of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
Afterwards came the "Friday Night Funkin' but There's a Twist" series, starting with "Friday Night Funkin' Blammed, but there's a twist..." made at January 29, 2024, having two more related videos before ending with "Guns, but he twisted my ankles," released at June 21st of the same year. Then, Stropion released her first original public FNF song titled "ballistic_missile_approaching_your_location.mp3." It was clearly meant to be a joke, but it unintentionally sparked two covers of other FNF songs featuring Red from TTCG as well as a sequel to Ballistic Missile.
===Modern Era (2022 - Present)===
The modern era starts with three videos regarding Jackbox Games. The videos in particular revolved around Talking Points, Monster Seeking Monster, Survive The Internet, Champ'd Up, and Tee-KO. These videos were meant to be a revival to the channel since the channel was super inactive beforehand, but after the third and final installment of the Jackbox Series, the channel saw yet another drought.
However, Totally The Color Games saw a second season at December 10, 2022, with a unhinged take on Mario as the host instead of Stropion's persona. The second season compared to the first was much more organized, with characters such as Lime, Brown, Cyan, etc being introduced. However, unfortunately, like its predecessor, it only lasted 3 episodes that posted weekly.
A few more unrelated videos and an unannounced transition to female later, Stropion posted by far her most successful video, "Item Asylum Perfect Runs - Easiest to Hardest." The video ranks all of the bosses in the game to beat with one life on difficulty and currently has 166K views, skyrocketing the channel from about 480 subscribers to over 1 thousand.
A second Item Asylum video was made titled "13 Minutes of Slightly Useless Item Asylum Facts"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUt47WmjCKQ was posted around a month later, gaining 62K views and now being Stropion's second most popular video. Her third Item Asylum video, "We Played Hide and Seek in Item Asylum," birthed her discord server, with its original purpose being just to host the event and record the video. After the video was published though, the server experienced a total rework, now turning into the community server it is today.
