Year 2024
2024 – A year of mental breakdown
2024 was defined by many highs and lows, between the controversies involving 7VEN and Tubunga. It heavily defined who I am today and made a negative impact on my self-esteem to this day.
On January the 7th 2024, it was a very good day, because I managed to recover my videos from the hacked Villager Boy channel, by downloading the YouTube data from Google. My mum was very proud, even though I used to make those videos by disobeying her. Now, every time a video on my channel goes viral, she is the first one to say well done.
At the end of March 2024, I was involved in major controversy with the 7VEN clan. The controversy was long and mentally exhausting for me. It started when I falsely accused a member of the 7VEN clan, Rohan. Later on, he exposed me on a video titled “The End Of VillagerBoysServer @VillagerBoyYT”. This video got attention inside the clan so they started joining my server and writing hate messages. It immediately caused me stress as I knew I had to respond and I also had friends who were part of this clan. This is where is4m came in. So I created a server called 9INE to rebel against 7VEN. I then discovered that some 7VEN members had problems with is4m, so that server was then used to rebel against is4m.
On the 21st of April 2024, it was time to say goodbye to my channel for one month. I was very busy, so I just decided to leave my channel until the summer break when I’ll have more time. I can’t wait until the break is over, even though I don’t have much patience with editing. This is another reason why I’m taking a break. It’s a real strain having to do all the homework, recording, editing, and uploading the videos by Saturday. That’s also the reason why I have been recently posting more livestreams that long-form edited videos or montages. I’m planning to make Shorts during this break because they usually work to keep my channel active, but I won’t be using my voice. I hope to see you guys soon. Bye.
Finally, about a month later, I’m back to making videos and livestreams on my channel! I am so excited as I was so busy last month. Everything – my server, my channel, my website – was dying. Finally I can come back to posting every Saturday – or once every two Saturdays, I hope not – again! To be honest, I really did miss making videos, even though it was only 1 month.
Summer 2024 was miserable for me, and it was partially my fault. As you can tell, I was creating controversy wherever I went and it was primarily caused by my arrogant attitude, and a lot of this drama is documented in my Discord server announcements. I was disobedient towards my parents, there was loads of overwhelming stuff going on in my life, which, with me already being weak, I ended up seeking justice through the devil without realising it. I was quite open to religious conversations, but I didn’t understand even half of what they were saying because of my ignorance.
On the 13th of September, 2024, I struggled to go to school. It was nowhere as smooth as it was last year. I’ll tell you why.
One or two weeks later, my parents had enough of seeing me thin. I was 160cm (5’4) and 46kg (101lb). If you ask me, that is far too thin in puberty. I don’t talk about it much, but I feel like I have to include it in my about me. My mum helped me to recover the weight.
On the 28th of November, 2024, in a video titled “Leaving Craftsman (and face revealing)… time to start a new chapter”, I announced 2 big changes to my channel’s content: I announced I would be leaving Minecraft 0.14.3 and 0.15.10, the Craftsman community, and I face revealed. After this face reveal I started using my face in some videos.
Around the end of December 2024, we (me and Mike) bought two Acer EK241Y monitors which we now use as our primary monitors. My secondary monitor is an Acer X223W. Anything will do as your second monitor!
On the 21st of December, 2024, when I turned 14, I started using Instagram to share my photos: https://www.instagram.com/villagerboy.rob. Honestly I can say I am starting to open up with my audience, and it feels good to be transparent with you guys. I love it.
