I'm the creator of Yet To Be Confirmed - the YouTube channel, the brand, this Wiki. I like to create fiction, and to visualise the fiction I'm creating is the reason I've opted to write a wiki out of my fiction.

Also because I just think having a wiki of my own shit is funny

## Personality

I'm South East Asian, if that amounts to anything.

Besides creating artistic works and fiction, I enjoy listening to and breaking down music of various varieties, including Japanese city pop, videogame soundtracks, the odd electronic song, and Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", unironically. I also like playing videogames.

I spend most of my time online, YouTube in particular. It forms a large part of my childhood and overall life, having been the most influential source of culture and information in my life. Through it, I've learned many things and experienced many events.

I'm a child at heart, hence the immature and unbridled motivation to create a wiki about my lame headcanons.

I have social anxiety, as well as little affinity for social interaction.

## Background

In the fifth grade I was assigned a group project showcasing Gibson Desert, Australia. The final product was to be an individually-submitted video. Due to the fact that this was the fifth grade, and that I also have the smallest brain in all of mankind, the resulting video was of poor editing quality. Not even laughably bad. I still have the file somewhere on my iTunes library, of all places.

In mid-2013 I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which is now grouped into Autism Spectrum Disorders. My autism, assuming I have it, is not very severe, save for the social anxiety.

In 2014 I experienced an overwhelming desire to learn more about the *Super Mario* franchise and spent most days of that year reading the associated fan wiki. Some time after, I did the same with the *Sonic* franchise, mostly watching cutscene compilations on YouTube of various Sonic games. This and more became my love of gaming.

Around 2015 I started my own fictional universe, titled TerraCasT (for lack of a better name, perhaps.) Originally created as a comic series, the main setting was a massive island in the sky. Teens who "didn't fit in" were originally magically transported there and learned to live responsibly. This has been in development since then, stagnating somewhat in recent times. Plans for the fiction included videogames with titular subtexts such as "TerraCasT: Twilight", "TerraCasT: Dawn", and "TerraCasT: Eternal Midnight", alternate universes, and implementation of some of my real life friends.

In April, 2016 my father took my sister and I on an overseas trip to Japan. This marks the first time I'd visited the country; surprisingly, I initially took little interest in it. It was only at the end of 2016 that I really began to obsess over Japanese culture, particulaly after viewing critically-acclaimed anime film by Makoto Shinkai, *your name*. Following this, I began watching anime.

Starting 2016-2017 I began composing and arranging music, using Garageband. Around this time I met many of the friends I have now, such as Ryan.

In 2018 I received my copy of Minecraft: Java Edition.

In April, 2018 SiIvaGunner uploaded "Agent Yoru o Yuku - The iDOLM@STER", which was a high quality rip containing a cover of the entire *Nico Nico Douga Kumikyoku*, also known as "amazing mario level that plays itself and own music", which I watched when I was younger. These events led to my fascination with the medium of Nico Nico Douga, and Japanese internet culture as a whole.

In August, 2018 I went for my high school's work experience at a university/TAFE, where they had no work to give me. For the duration of my work experience (five working days) I played *Super Smash Bros. for Wii U* with the university students, created a small animation of myself walking, and composed an original song. Apart from sorting some papers on the Monday I started, I did no other actual work.

In January, 2019 my father took me to Japan for the second time. Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived, I became very sick, not used to the cold winter in the northern hemisphere. I spent most days in our hotel room. My father's intention was to take each of his children to a country of their choice on their sixteenth birthday; my sister went to America for hers. My brother didn't receive his as he turned 16 on March 7th, 2020, during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Around mid-2020 I decided to start a Bandcamp, in order to store all my music online, since Soundcloud only allows a certain amount of music for free.

In October, 2020 I graduated high school. It was also around this time I began taking interest in V-Tubers, and found Hololive.

## Channel and Music Timeline

I created the channel on April 1st, 2016, with nothing but the full intention of writing a single comment on a JaidenAnimations video, as an account is required to access this feature of YouTube. Some time after this, I realised you can use a YouTube account to *actually make content*, and so proceeded to do that.

### 2017

Most of the content I made in 2017 consists of poorly made remixes and other music-related videos.

On April 13th, I uploaded my first video, titled "HAHAHAHAHA". It was a video featuring my Rōblox character in its walk cycle on the torso of an NPC, giving the appearance of kicking him in the face. This and all other subsequent Rōblox videos have been privated for various reasons.

On May 28th, I uploaded "Some YouTubers Sing Pokémon Theme Song", inspired by a video with a similar premise containing clips of Donald Trump. At the time, this was the largest project I'd ever pursued for YouTube.

On June 24th, I uploaded "how2coook", in which I rhythmically edited a video of me making scrambled eggs to the tune of Gourmet Race from the *Kirby* franchise.

### 2018

In 2018 my channel content branched out to gaming with the introduction of more Rōblox gameplay, which has since been abandoned. These videos typically feature me playing with one other friend who does not also make content but just happened to agree to being in a video at the time. I also made several videos where I played *Pokémon Showdown* with my friend, Drompus.

In terms of music content, I uploaded various remixes of *Science Blaster* by SpellingPhailer, which is widely recognised as the theme song for YouTube show *Game Theory*. I also recorded myself playing piano on multiple occasions.

On January 22nd, I uploaded the "Fire Emblem Fusion", based on the Fusion Collab format popularised by YouTube channel SiIvaGunner. The "Fire Emblem Fusion" was originally a school project where the final section was played live. It sounded better then.

On April 25th, I uploaded "original song". This song was composed with the intention of being the final boss music of TerraCasT, and although the initial mix was something to be desired, I would later go on to use the same melodies and leitmotifs in a better version.

On June 25th, I uploaded the first episode of "My thoughts (and gameplay) on Pokémon Ruby", which became discontinued after episode 3 when the hard drive containing all my recorded footage of the game became corrupted.

On July 13th, I uploaded "my song", originally a theme song for myself.

On August 24th, I uploaded "Only My Knives", a remix/mashup of *only my railgun* by Fripside, the opening theme of *A Certain Scientific Railgun*, and *Flowering Nights* by ZUN, Sakuya Iyazoi's theme from Touhou 9. This was originally a challenge set by Drompus for both of us, since he also writes and arranges music. He has since not uploaded his own version of the challenge.

On August 28th, I uploaded "My experience with work experience", which outlined the various happenings of and thoughts about my work experience. The video is now private. Subsequently, I uploaded "original song: Temporal Colossus".

On September 7th, I uploaded "Ryan's Theme", which was exactly that.

On September 8th, I uploaded "You.", the true first animation video on the channel, inspired by the videos from various animation channels. I would later make various other videos using the format of this one over the next few years.

On September 17th, I uploaded "2017.", a medley of various songs that "resonated with me" during the year of 2017. Making a medley personally summarising the year became a trend on the channel until 2020.

On September 29th, I uploaded "Megalovania - Undertale", a remix of the titular song. I also uploaded the first episode of the "Simply Survival" series, where I played vanilla survival Minecraft. The series extended into 2019 with irregular uploads, and concluded on the tenth episode, uploaded .

On December 13th, I uploaded "Battle! Jevil - Delta Rune Remix" which was a remix of *THE WORLD REVOLVING* in the Pokémon Ruby soundfont. The video has since amassed the second most amount of views on the channel, being the first to reach over 1000 views.

On December 17th, I uploaded "ANIME MEDLEY 1", the first in a series of anime medleys.

On December 31st, I uploaded "It's Okay to be Weird.", an original song intended to close out the year. This later received a redux on December 31st, 2020, titled "It's Okay to be Weird - Music Meme Smashdown".

### 2019

In 2019 I tried branching even further out to other forms of content for various reasons. This year marks the conception of Charmelo, Shoes and Socks and Meme Month, the channel presence of Touhou's Cirno, YTBC's 12 Days of Christmas Special, and also the beginning of some semblance of formatting.

On January 1st, I uploaded "New Day", which would later receive a redux on January 6th, 2021, titled "New Day (January 2021 80s Funk Mix)".

On January 12, I began a daily vlog series of my trip to Japan with my father. I disliked the turnout of both the vlogs and the trip itself and decided to private the videos, save for "Japan vlog 6", uploaded January 17th, which became the first episode of Charmelo, ever. The reason for this video's creation was purely out of boredom sitting in our hotel room, and featured a Charmander plush gaining immense strength from Meloetta's *konbini* BLT and then proceeding to beat the shit out of a Mawile plush, who we'd purchased the day before. This video was the first to cement the dynamic between the three characters.

On February 17th, I uploaded "I'm not dead I was just the thumbnail", which featured an original song called "Missing in Action". The song contains leitmotifs I'd made prior, and featured a brand new one which I would later use in future songs.

On March 3rd, I announced my Soundcloud, originally featuring all the songs I'd made and a few others which were not on the channel. The Soundcloud has since been abandoned and now only features a few works.

April 1st marked the beginning of Meme Month, and the rest of the month in 2019 contained videos alluding to memes such as *7 GRAND DAD*, *mm2wood.mid*, and the sad song from *Titanic*. On April 27th, the joke characters Shoes and Socks were revealed in "Milly is Okay in Here", a video created in Plotagon Studio Trial.

On May 29th, I uploaded "coming soon: Paxton and Wolf", an announcement trailer for an 'animated' series coming to the channel. The series has since not seen the light of day.

On June 30th, I uploaded "Welcome to the Forge", a theme for a fictional location I'd created.

On September 9th, I uploaded the "Beloved Tomboyish Girl Fusion Collab".

On September 30th, I uploaded "THE 2018 MEDLEY", which received a copyright claim that made it unviewable for a period of time, due to the fact that it contained visuals from the opening to *Angel Beats!*. Surprisingly, nothing else about it was claimed despite other parts being arguably more claimable.

In October, various original songs containing the same leitmotifs were uploaded to the channel, as a means to create the theme for the fictional character Allison Brie Cafe.

In November, the same was done for the character Loid.

On December 13th, I uploaded "goodbye for now", announcing my hiatus from YouTube after uploading every day until Christmas. This was the beginning of YTBC's 12 Days of Christmas 2019.

On December 19th I uploaded "ANIME MEDLEY II".

On December 21st, I announced my personal Minecraft server, which hasn't returned and is offline indefinitely because I can't actually maintain a server.

On December 25th, I uploaded "original song for December - Christmas Song", exactly what the title says.

### 2020

As soon as the global pandemic hit I decided to begin making content again in the hopes that it would entertain anybody struggling at the time. 2020 began the solidification of the channel's branding, and well as developing the channel's lore and canon. The year also marked the start of uploads being scheduled as commemorations for events on their respective upload dates, i.e., "The Force - Music Meme Smashdown" was uploaded on May 4th.

The first video of the year "(piano cover) BE THE KING - SiIvaGunner: King For Another Day Tournament", was uploaded on April 7th. At this time I had decided to create my own version of the tournament called Delicious Flan and YTBC's Music Meme Smashdown", and had already begun working on it. On April 8th, I uploaded the first Music Meme Smashdown Direct.

Delicious Flan and YTBC's Music Meme Smashdown officially ran from April 18th, 2020 to April 25th, 2020, with entries into the series continuing until the end of 2020.

On May 3rd, I uploaded "Welcome to TerraCasT!". This was the first song branded with the TerraCasT logo, although many original songs I'd composed prior were also part of the series.

On May 26th, I uploaded "charmelo returns", indicating the beginning of Charmelo Season 2.

On May 29th, I uploaded "Project Drompus", a remix/medley of many themes Drompus himself has written. The video was made for his birthday, on the same date.

On June 23rd, I uploaded "Relic Song - Music Meme Smashdown", which became the theme song of Charmelo.

On June 30th, I uploaded "The 2019 Medley".

On July 9th, I began "Minecraft with the boys", which featured me playing on a realm with several other people I knew. The series lasted 7 episodes.

On July 26th I uploaded "How I got into SiIvaGunner, and subsequently into Nico Nico and Bokaroido", which outlines my experiences with SiIvaGunner's rip of *Agent Yoru o Yuku* from *the iDOLM@STER*.

On September 7th I began the "Minecraft: Just Building" series, which features me building things in Minecraft.

From September 9th, 2020 to September 29th, 2020, Cirno took over the Yet To Be Confirmed YouTube channel, uploading several remixes of her theme, Beloved *Tomboyish Girl*, as well as themes from other notable game franchises that were released in September, such as *Undertale* and *Super Mario Bros*. YTBC found out about the takeover on September 19th as seen in the video "wait, cirno took over the channel???", and proceeded to join in, uploading various remixes of music from the *Touhou* franchise.

The most notable of uploads from the event is "YO-KAI DISCO", a remix of the song from Mamorukun Curse!. Originally a school project, the video is the most viewed video on the channel, having gained over 2,000 views.

During Cirno's Takeover, the Yet To Be Confirmed YouTube channel reached 50 subscribers. Following the event, I uploaded "YTBC: thanks for 50 subs!".

On October 7, I uploaded "MENU - Music Meme Smashdown", the first entry in the original soundtrack for the Music Meme Smashdown.

On November 17, the winner of the Music Meme Smashdown was announced, despite there not actually being any real competition. The victor, Lofi Girl, received the grand prize of the Winner's Podium Album, containing various remixes of songs from her source list. The first of these, "KING FOR ANOTHER DAY - Music Meme Smashdown" was uploaded on November 23rd, 2020, the one-year anniversary of SiIvaGunner: King For Another Day Tournament.

On November 29th, I announced the making of more Pokémon-related content as a result of having watched the Pokémon music video "GOTCHA!". The first of this content was the Pokémon Ruby Let's Play series, which has 6 episodes and has since been discontinued.

On December 23th, YTBC's 12 Days of Christmas 2020 was announced, featuring some of Lofi Girl's prize songs, "ANIME MEDLEY III", the announcement of several albums on the YTBC Bandcamp, and not the 2020 Medley.

December 31st's "It's Okay to be Weird - Music Meme Smashdown" marked the end of content on the Yet To Be Confirmed YouTube channel for 2020.

## Trivia

I'm not against pineapple on pizza. I believe it's wrong, but I'm not against it.

My favourite anime are *In/Spectre* and *Buso Renkin*; my favourite genre is slice of life.

I enjoyed *Assassination Classroom* thoroughly.

In most depictions of myself my hair is dark brown with a gradient toward the side; in reality it is simply just black. This isn't a reference to one of my classmates from primary school, who often adamantly claimed her hair was "really dark brown". The rest of us agreed it was black.

The name *Temporal Colossus* is a reference to the abilities I was planning to give the characters based on myself and Ryan, the ability to control time and the power of dragons, respectively. This is due to the fact that the song contains leitmotifs from "my song" and "Ryan's Theme". The name could also allude to the Pokémon Dialga, which is a tie between our mutual appreciation for Pokémon's 4th generation of games.
