I always thought my sense of humor is derived from a lot of over-the-top web stuff and various things on TV both old and new, like Nicktoons Network era stuff and anything Toby Fox's makes, but from the times I hang out with my family, I think I actually got it from my mother, like some of my other traits and quirks. I don't know how to feel about those, however...

So, thanks mom for giving me the comic relief and Happy Mother's Day!

Huh, first time I did a 3D combo of Trainz + Garry's Mod. I haven't even used Trainz in years. But hey, I can actually celebrate not-SpongeBob for once after missing last year's magnum opus of a celebration because of Smash Bros. and Luigi!


...and not knowing what part of May The Railway Series first published...

ANYWAY. The character picks may (pah) seem odd on its own, but for context, the first week of May already has at least 4 anniversaries/birthdays I can remember on the top of my head. SpongeBob's debut anniversary with Help Wanted on May 1st, Pinkie Pie's Birthday on the 3rd, Star Wars day on the 4th (look at the sky), and Michael Rosen's Birthday on the 7th! Then half a week later on the 12th, becomes The Railway Series' anniversary! Sheesh, already so much to celebrate!!

Why these characters specifically? SpongeBob is my childhood icon as you can tell by my theming in socials, Thomas while roughly the same reason is also my gateway into modding games in the first place starting with adding trains in Microsoft Train Simulator, Pinkie Pie though not very prominent in my content besides 1 M.U.G.E.N video does relate to a short brony phase I had upon discovering MLP, (don't judge) and was also the leading inspiration for my username. (You can guess who I got that from.) and Michael Rosen, because he's the first YTP source you'd see in my YouTube channel debut video, obviously I don't use him as a main source anymore, but it was fun while it lasted. The first characters are quite cheeky, whilst Rosen isn't, but is betrayed as such in YTPs (including mine) and almost any story told in his younger years. I heavily relate to Hot Food the most.

And now they shall parteeeeeeee!!!

*Warning: Long exhausted vent ahead?
If you're expecting anything to come out of this channel or my other accounts, I'm sorry to say that I think this burnout is lasting longer than I thought it would. The only thing I was somehow able to do is reupload some lost YouTube videos to the Internet Archive, draw a Feels handcrafted egg based on some of April's holidays (Autism Awareness, Earth Day, Parents Day, Deep Dish Pizza.) and before that, draw a birthday sketch for my uncle. Mom said it was his birthday and thought I should send him a message. (See how bad I am at memorizing birthdays and some lesser-known holidays?)

If you're wondering about the characters at the bottom since I haven't colored it, from left to right, they are some autism representatives from the shows I've watched or heard of:
SpongeBob, Donnie (TMNT), Bruno (Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!), Carl Gould (Arthur), Lavender (Blue's Clues), and the Autism Creature.

As for this burnout, it had to do with the projects having WAAAY too much content to apply, and when I get started on one (you know the one), a lot of things happened that are out of my control and delayed it, and thinking about how long I've been making these big or small, starting when I first entered the web, not making any of this a real side-hussle especially with the times I've exhausted myself, and realizing this doesn't seem to related to who I want to be, working on it now became depressing, it doesn't feel relevant to my intended path. That might've been the same problem I've dealt with when stopping RTPIDFS, only that one had NO computer problems delaying it, just lost of interest, I still miss that server. Speaking of future, I'm just too worried about both my future and the internet's, usually my own personal worries don't bug me too much outside of "Oh. Maybe I should try this to help out my family steadily because of the outside world." but this year's obstacles felt like the worst, making me think "Maybe I should've tried this waaay earlier, or maybe outside of the web I should've tried that, or shouldn't have I done this differently for myself and/or the channel? Even if it means becoming inactive again?" And the biggest one of all "Shouldn't I be focusing more on M.U.G.E.N despite my lack of sprite power?" These haven't been regulated to a degree, I could barely be bothered to turn on the PC, I feel like I'm running out of time before something bad happens in the future that could put me in a lonely predicament, but even if I CAN try to prevent that, all the skills are not with me and it'll take too long to learn them on time in the age that I'm in, even when knowing people that struck gold started around that age or older! Hence why I'm trying to up my financial game with ko-fi despite that I'm not the one managing the house. I've read that's what some of us autistic people worry about and I'm not alone in this; I've read someone else has that worry too, only they have a shop, so why didn't I try expanding out? I wish us luck on our survival. I don't understand how my besties who are also MUGENites are continuing their works when something bad could happen.
If this isn't regulated, I might be reduced to just a commenter on YT, like how I was when I first logged in. Yes, you might have noticed I have been uploading less frequently recently, but that seems to be getting common to old veteran users (some I can't mentally handle their channels being around 10 or 20, not even my own videos turning 10, my god.) not just on slower upload schedules but I have noticed more people have been asking for financial aid whether or not be because of YT or their motives are suddenly put into a halt, some have it worse than I did and I CAN'T imagine what that's like, living alone doesn't feel right. Do YOU guys have or had these problems? How do you regulate them?



P.S. Because I don't have anything else to add onto Kung Fu Rosen due to it being a retired source for this channel. Tell the YTP Michael Rosen Community I said Happy Birthday on the 7th.

I'm late, but for World Autism Awareness Day + month. Let me tell you something I was afraid to say outloud.
I have autism.

There, I said it. I rarely ever mention it, but I'm more open to this starting this year. I didn't like to say this due to how unpredictable internet users can be, I was never insulted for it both here and in real life, but the thought of it happening sounds terrifying. That may have caused me to not like it when my parents clarified I'm autistic to people. I know it's not bad to have it, but who knows how people feel about you when being informed about it, you have a problem with me having it? Don't waste your breath complaining about it!

As for how it affects how I roll, it was mainly exaggerated on my early days on YouTube and Steam, I type silly a whole lot (happens less unless it's a comment), sounded obnoxious when it came to that or OCD issues when correcting somebody, learned or perform my skillset "my way" rather than the intended way when it came to things outside of school, and in the real world, have difficulty structuring sentences despite my vocabulary learned from shows like The Upside Down Show, less prominent when writing it down, but I could repeat, overuse, or misuse words, which is odd because I don't think I have trouble with that at school, plus my parents mentioned there was a time where I would talk a lot, then all of a sudden, I stopped, leading me to have speech therapy, clearly I can talk, so whatever my deal was might have to do with that. (Gave me a personal headcanon that Classic Sonic preferred not to speak and said few words like Max does in Max & Ruby.) It's demonstrated especially through not only my shifting hyperfixations or interests both in childhood and nowadays leading to this channel's "jack-of-all-trades" type of content, but also all the times I have to break my sleep just to finish a project and/or unknowingly take longer on them due to breaks or burnout, which seems more or less common when it came to making long-term stuff for friends rather than myself, not the minimal stuff like ideas that I thought were cool. That also seems to explain the problems I have when trying to create the more complicated stuff like the LugiOGM Musical, I could unknowingly stop those altogether due to losing interest or ADHD seemly shifting to another interest when I thought I can multi-task, don't think I have the skillset for it, (when it comes to 2D, not 3D like GMod) don't have the PATIENCE for it, and why I always say "Don't expect any promises" to projects I teased, because I always find out to be a terrible idea to tease it when I end up not working on it, those might not be autism traits though, that may come down to when your head is full of ideas and almost little to no way of perfecting them with one's current abilities, hence why in M.U.G.E.N, Trip's release is in a form of a collab agreement rather than just myself, which resulted in out of place sprites in the animations since placeholders were used.

Heck, this year I'm learning more about myself by studying characters from shows I know or like who are autism-coded or actually part of the spectrum, like SpongeBob (Mom showed me Tom Kenny confirming it a year ago, thanks by the way! <3) and Bruno from Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, (and in a lesser sense, Theo in the original series.) I have my username and channel's theming revolved around SpongeBob, but I didn't think I would relate to the Sponge THAT much and it seems to show in several places. And for Bruno, him worrying about being late to ANYTHING is something I relate to now, especially with the PC problems I had trying to work on something! And if you don't want to watch AEG's "Shake, Rattle, and Bruno" to see what I mean, look up Joey Turner's "We Don't Leave Behind Bruno."

Alternatively, I searched up the symptoms I've been having recently to see if it applies to autistic people too, that includes the aforementioned autistic burnout, autistic inertia, seemly not acting mature, slight monotone voice, and in a way, worrying about the future, that last one became part of the reason why the ko-fi exists and why I should've done so earlier. It's not just me, right? PhantomStrider's most recent video "Secret Autism Traits" describes more of them, go check it out.

Now you guys know loud and clear that I'm autistic. If you don't like that, just click off to another page and nobody gets bothered! It's not wrong to have it, but other people should learn how to deal with us, that way the both of us won't get exhausted with each other. Do you viewers have this as well? I'd like to hear it.

Thank you for taking your time to read. - Derpy Sponge

YT is confusing me, did I actually hit 7000 or not? Whatever the case, please you guys, I'm grateful for whatever video you came from, but I'm just 1 person! This channel does whatever it does nowadays, and I feel like I'm nearing the end here!

Nevertheless, April Fools is also the anniversary of the YouTube Poop "Sonic and Robotnik's sodomy hour!", where the genre itself got its name. To celebrate this and the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, I give you an HD recreation of ‪@Themysteriouspirate‬ 's Spongebob and the Chocolate Pizza over in my alt channel, ‪@anotherspongehere‬. An editing test I did a few years ago but never completed it fully. It's my favorite Classic YTP with it being a tie between that and "Ddede Invisible Touch'es Dr robit inappropriately because toNIGHT TONIGHT TONIIIGHT OHOOO". I know there's another one here, but I didn't like it very much, sorry to the user that made it.

I also uploaded some YTP user content here and there on the internet archive, don't know if I should reupload it on my alt too, because 1 of them actually violated the rules and the other has some copyright music, knowing how unpredictable the site can be, I don't want to risk getting a strike there or my main, but for today, I made a go for it.

Here's something for Thomas fans, before St. Patrick Day's and Wonders of Sodor's release, I decided to upload as much Sodor Island Sim content as I have to the Internet Archive for nostalgia reasons. Keep in mind, I do not have everything from that site and there's others not from the site I can't seem to find the links to anymore, like the only surviving MSTNoodle models of Thomas and the tankers or some of Felix Cheng's accurate models which look similar to the Trainz ones, maybe they're still in the trainsim site? It's been revamped, but I'm pretty sure you need to log in to download something. And most of my leftovers have been modified with differing whistles, so they're not going to be 100% unedited.



Microsoft Train Simulator is what got me into the world of game modding back in early 2010, after finding "editors and tools" and sites to download more locos, chaos ensued. Long trains, FAST TRAINS, talking trains, THE ROLLERCOASTER ROUTE, WOO! What a simulator!

HEYA GUYS LET'S FIGHT!
If my newest video didn't make it obvious, AFFG's Dojo has been recreated in M.U.G.E.N, with .defs utilizing the round feature to recreate the games' scenarios. Assuming the match goes on for 4 rounds of course!

Decided to place some potential or lesser YouTube Lost Media into the Internet Archive. They may not seem like much, but 2 of them, "Series 19" and "Ronald Mc Donald = VILLAIN (illuminati Confirm?)", were starters to early videos of mine. Those being "leak_thomas_mad_bomber_ep2_aka_series_19_trainz_remake.bomb" and "So I found Flowey's original source of his voice clips." respectively. The TomixNScale89 stuff were meant to be videos, but I didn't end up making them. Now they're about to be nearly a decade old. Maaaan. Do any of you subs remember these at all?

I didn't reupload them into my Alt YouTube account because I feel like I need consent with the original authors, ‪@TomixNscale89‬ , ‪@andrewmeda_art‬ and ‪@AdamDampOwlPowell‬ to do so. (Unless just placing them in the archive is not allowed either, in which, I'm very sorry to you people.)



P.S. I think my mentality's still low after my sickness...

I like to think after the Luigi virus incident in the LugiOGM musical, the bros. still miss their previous Yoshi. It was worse for Mario; he had to witness his corruption while running away from LugiOGM Type-NES.

Also, Mar10 day is the birthday of the artist of my YouTube banner, ‪@CloverLeaf777‬. The one I've used on YouTube for years (may or may not update text stating name after very tough decision) and later a couple of other places, I don't think they'll stay there though?? I'm fine with it on BlueSky, but it being on ko-fi is only temporary, or at least I think it'll be. Everything in and out is sorta melting me...
