Every view and tiny bit of watch time counts. But also, don’t feel obligated to if it’s a video you don’t think you’ll enjoy.

It seems that because of my multi-month break, YouTube isn’t pushing my videos out to as many people, and I’m gonna have to regain the trust of the algorithm. So if you have time, please try and pop by whenever you can on new uploads!

Was meant to post this with the YouTube post like 20 minutes ago 😭

I’m so sorry for the two months no upload.

Things have been so fucking busy, and then I got really ill this week. (Still am, kill me)

I have a video half edited that I’m making my way through so hopefully that’ll be up soon.

And I also fully intent to make a video on YouTube’s plans to up monetisation requirements (because that DEEPLY affects what I’m trying to do on my channel) as well as explain why I’ve been so absent from my socials lately.

But I still have no plans to quit! Like I said in one of my videos. I will only ever take massive breaks, but NEVER quit.

I love you all. See you soon ❤️

Considering coming back to Twitch Streaming. I am not sure how often as I have been getting really busy as of lately, especially with this short film I am starting work on, but I honestly have missed it! <3 If you haven't already, go follow: www.twitch.tv/spinelwillow

Unhinged teen. Loves horror and cutesy stuff. Unlike my YouTube channel, there will be some cussing and mature language, so keep that in mind.

I will be hard at work making new graphics for YouTube!

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Just a quick heads up before anyone freaks out, I have updated my usernames from 8-BitWillow to SpinelWillow to try and be a little more original, and to also just reflect myself a little more. I chose "Spinel" because of the purple spinel gemstone.

Apparently I'm just giving child, y'know. YouTube tried to silence me, but they couldn't contain me. >:3

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Yes, after school I will be making a video on this because OH MY FREAKING GOSH I THOUGHT I LOST EVERYTHING

000

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

If anyone tried to access my channel recently and couldn’t, it’s because YouTube decided I wasn’t acting old enough and decided to force me to verify my age, privating all my videos in the process! Despite the mini heart attack, everything is fine.

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Twitter is lowkey a shitbox. You can get banned for “being a parody” but not for having a racist/rapist username 😭

110

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

But I am a little curious. Do you guys think I should get a more unique username? Or I should I stay with this branding that I have gained 370 subscribers with? If I did rebrand, what should I rebrand to? Not 100% if I even want to change but I am curious what you guys have to say about it. (3/3)

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Now, this isn't my first time being compared to a content creator, whether from the way I present myself or usernames, and I honestly couldn't give a crap about what people say about it anymore. (2/3)

110

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Alright, for over 2 years now, I have posted on YouTube with the username "8-BitWillow" and whilst at the time wasn't a direct play on 8-BitRyan's username, is consistently the reason people think I'm a straight up copy. (1/3)

Interesting. I might give that a try and see how that goes. Thank you! It’s so weird that YouTube keyword tags don’t already do that, but also, YouTube’s algorithm has been messed up for a while 😭

YouTube is Recommending my videos to the wrong audiences. youtu.be/0Oqyt7fUpgY

So, I recently brought up the idea of making a tag on here for fan art. If anyone feels like it, the tag I am going with is #8BWFanArt :3

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

I tell you what, after these next two videos I am never recording for 3 hours ever again, or at least until I upgrade my PC. I have never seen my editing software struggle harder than it currently is, and I am only half way through the final cut 😭

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Sorry for the long time, no upload guys. I'm going through a bit of a hard time mentally, again. Just when I think I'm starting to feel better something else hits me. I'll try and get something out as soon as possible.

010

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

She personally doesn't mind, but I mainly did it for myself and because I want to try and keep my family private. It isn't a huge deal, it's just something I have been meaning to do a long time.

000

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Not many of you will probably realise I did this, but just so that it's out there, yes I went back and blurred my mother's face in everything related to FNAF the Musical Recreation on my channel.

Tis my birthday today. Happy 16th to me 😘

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

This week has been so exhausting 😪 I hope to edit a video over the weekend but I also need to do my driver’s test before I turn 16 😭

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Second pair that has broken this year too :(

I broke my headphones earlier today so that’s frickin amazing 😭

Sorry for no uploads this weekend guys. I’m frickin going through it 😭

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I spent 4 hours editing a video today and I just deleted the fucking project file…

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Did I just have an existential crisis? Probably. ANYWAY! I am gonna try and get a video out tomorrow 👍

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

No! My perfectly English! Anyway, *literally all day

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

On a side note to my last post, I have figured out how to get better microphone quality! It only took me nearly 3 years of doing this crap T-T

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I am like 90% sure I have ADHD, but guess what? I ain't getting a diagnostic because my parents refuse to do SHIT for my mental health if it deviates from their old ass view points. :P

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Dude, I need help. I didn't even make it a week with my chosen upload scheldue without diviating from it. I literally all have kept going "I'll edit in a little bit" and then didn't edit. WHY CAN'T I GET MOTIVATION TO DO ANYTHING! 😫

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

You guys are freaking amazing! Thank you all so much for 200 subscribers. I love you all so freaking much <3 and here’s to 300 subscribers.

Mate, I just rendered an entire video, without the webcam footage turned on...I have to re-render the entire video 😭

000

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

This probably won't be happening anymore, cause my new microphone isn't good for singing AT ALL and I can't be bothered swapping mics to my old crappy one mid stream.

000

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Forgot to mention, this year, we're gonna be doing things a little differently. Same premice, but I am going to be singing that song, with only the instrumental version, and perfectly timing it. I am by NO MEANS a good singer, but I thought it might be a little fun.

000

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Chat is going to be VERY delayed. There is nothing I can do about it until we can afford better internet.

100

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

So, as we all know, I haven't been very active on Twitch this year due to my slow ass internet. But, I have a yearly tradition to perfectly time songs exactly at 12am for new years. So, I will be going live at twitch.tv/8bitwillowlive on December 31st 11pm AEDT to continue that tradition.

Anyways, again, sorry, don’t like venting on my main account, but I just really felt like putting this on here.

ItzWillow @spinelwillow.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

They don’t fully understand something. And I got in trouble for even suggesting quitting my job to mum so soon after getting the job because fuck me for struggling to do basic things in life because you idiots refuse to believe there is anything affecting me!

“You’re not struggling enough,” Ive been having panic attacks over starting my first job, we can barely afford to keep running and I’m exhausted by the end of every week from everything going on. I’m so sick of living like this, and sick of my parents being supportive only to do a 180 because-
