Jesse P James

**Jesse P James** (JessePajamas) is a retired content creator, musician, songwriter, and composer. He is the real world friend of TrueBluefuse and has collaborated with Emily Jones on her most popular music tracks. He is the inspiration for the fictional JessePajamas in the film Unknown From Emi: The Movie, and several songs made by him have appeared on the soundtrack, although James was not directly involved in the movie's music or its creation whatsoever, nor was he involved with Unknown From Emi.

## History

James joined YouTube sometime in 2006 and uploaded content containing voice acting, music, as well as parodic content featuring a robotic voice called Speakonia. He also invented the Singonia and is considered by some in the Speakonia Community to be a "legend."

James had been on-off friends with MugiMikey since 2007 and such has appeared in many of his videos. In 2017, James created the moniker JessePajamas as he wanted a name looked and felt similar to MugiMikey's current alias. Joining the animator's channel as a music composer, voice actor and a writer, James assisted Mikey in creating some of his most popular animations. This eventually lead to MugiMikey creating a fan-discord in which James was able to meet TrueBluefuse as well as ProgFrog. James remained friends with TrueBluefuse since that day and the two have gone on to collaborate on many projects such as Pajamacast streaming. One one stream, James attracted the attention of Dillin Thomas who later joined him and TrueBluefuse on the Pajmacast channel as a regular.

James collaborated with EmuEmi on three songs: Endless Possibility, Reach for the Stars, and Infinite. James has stated in the past that working with Jones was "difficult" and "lacked proper communication." According to James, Jones would "say "Thanks!" and take his guitar recordings without discussing the direction of the song or ideas" and that James "wouldn't hear back from her until the music was already uploaded." This resulted in her often using incomplete backtracks in her uploads much to the distress of James, feeling that the "uncompleted music [didn't] represent [his] vision" of what the song was meant to sound like. James was also unhappy with the fact that Jones constant misspelled his username as "Jesse Pajamas;" the space making it difficult to link the tracks to his actual uploads, which did not contain a space, and that Jones never featured James' name in the videos or titles, despite him be a very large part of the song's creation as James has said "it wouldn't have existed in the first place without me." James stopped collaborating with Jones after she posted the theme of Infinite on her channel with an incomplete musical backtrack. According to James, Jones "would not be reasonable" on giving him time to complete the backtrack, stating "it has to go up today, I promised my Patreon backers" despite not giving him any deadline beforehand.

It was during this time that TrueBluefuse created the Unknown from Emi parody. Eventually, MugiMikey collaborated with James on a video called "Sonic Meets Female Sonic" in which Sonic meets a sexualized female version of himself - the punchline of the video being that Female Sonic was actually Futa Sonic, much to the disappointment and disgust of male Sonic. MugiMikey received a lot of negative backlash for his humor to which James gave MugiMikey the advice to not let the criticism get to him and be true to who he was. MugiMikey took this advice for many months.

In February of 2021, MugiMikey surprised James with a statement posted publicly in which he blamed James for the transphobic jokes in the Sonic Meets Female Sonic video, for being the reason as to why MugiMikey kept the video up for so long, and he supported the allegations made by one of James' exes that James was sexually abusive. Ironically, the ex mentioned was himself trans, bringing into question the allegations of James being transphobic proposed by MugiMikey. The vast majority of MugiMikey's audience as well as the Sonictubing sphere at large believed the animator on the spot and began unfriending and blocking James. Others came out with their own testimonies, claiming James sexually assaulted them as well - many of which who had actually never met or talked to James at all. MugiMikey also blocked James, preventing any response of his, leaving James with the only option of responding on his YouTube channel Pajamacast where James reacted to the post. It was later revealed that MugiMikey and his girlfriend were present during the stream, monitoring the stream chat for anyone of their audience they recognized showing any kind of support for James, banning them from their own channels on sight. James' ex also arrived to the stream in order to gloat about James' cancelation and even attempt to argue with James' co-hosts and the members of the chat. The vast majority of James' mutual friends with MugiMikey took the animator's side and unfriended James, never to speak with him again. James has since not made any music for any YouTuber whatsoever, nor has he posted any music online since. James attempted to respond to the allegations by making his own document in which he provides screenshots for evidence that debunk many of the allegations made about him by MugiMikey and his ex.

Since that time, the Pajamacast channel as well as James' other media accounts such as his Sonic Amino and Newgrounds would receive multiple attacks by MugiMikey's audience, or people that his and James' ex's allegations manipulated. It ultimately resulted in another of James' exes releasing her own document with allegations similar to Kilian's, with insufficient evidence to back up the claims. This document was short lived however and was quickly retracted by the author after receiving negative attention from members of Kiwi Farms after posting it there. It was during this time that James' Sonic Amino account was banned by the moderation team in fear of them being involved with James whatsoever. This lead to James voluntarily leaving his Newgrounds account, which had a 10 year archive of music he's made since 2010, in order to prevent Newgrounds from having to deal with any drama. James also voluntarily removed his JessePajamas YouTube channel, which was dedicated to the music he made as well. Some have taken this as James' admission to guilt, but James has stated to many people that the real reason he removed all of his accounts was because they harbored too many painful memories for him to deal with.

In August of 2021, Dillin Thomas received a strike on his channel for a video that featured Jesse. This lead him to conclude that James still had haters attempting to cleanse him from the internet, including on his channel. This lead to Thomas cutting ties with James not only as a content partner, but also as a friend as he stated "I'm not gonna throw everything away for 1 guy." Thomas made an announcement that he and James were parting ways shortly after, and he removed most of the videos on his channel featuring James. It was later revealed that this strike was actually the fault of a YouTube bot and it was a known glitch that many YouTubers were dealing with at the time. Upon learning of this, Thomas remorsefully apologized to James in a tweet, but James and Thomas to this day have not collaborated or spoken to each other. In October of 2021, James' Pajamacast channel was striken down and suspended by YouTube bots, but all of its content was archived on Odysee by James and TrueBluefuse.

## Trivia

* James picked the name JessePajamas due to it looking similar to MugiMikey but also because one time James meant to type in "Jesse P James" into his phone, but autocorrect revised it as "Jesse Pajamas." After finding it amusing, James adopted this as his alias between 2017 to 2021.
* James chose the name Pajamacast for his streamed content due to being a fan of the Yogscast and making the name as a tribute to them. An ex-friend of James', Spazkidin3d, was apart of the Sleepycast, which also has a similar name and possibly provided influence.
	+ For a short time, James also had a gaming-centric channel called PajamaPlays in which he played video games and provided commentary, usually solo.

Knowing that his enemies were contacting the staff of websites he had accounts on, he voluntarily left Newgrounds staff and the website in order to prevent them from dealing with his drama.
