Introduction: The Rise and Fall of Amarillis Blue [0:00]
Amarillis Blue was a small VTuber who suddenly announced her graduation due to failing health after a serious accident that left her paraplegic. Shortly after, a post appeared on Reddit announcing her death from a heart attack, leading to an outpouring of support and attention. Her final video exploded in views, and fans mourned her loss, with her cousin Maria confirming the news and announcing the disbanding of the Haxis agency.
The Bitter Aftermath: Maria's Complaint [4:17]
Following the death announcement, Maria posted a controversial Reddit thread complaining about the lack of attention Blue received before her death. She expressed bitterness that Blue only gained popularity after passing away, and when downvoted, she complained in Blue's Discord server. Maria's strange comments about being able to impersonate Blue raised suspicions among some fans, but were largely dismissed as grief.
The Resurrection: Amarillis Blue Returns [6:17]
Three months later, Amarillis Blue returned to YouTube, claiming she had survived the heart attack but was unconscious and unaware of the death announcement. She said she had instructed the hospital not to contact anyone, leading to the misunderstanding. Her return was met with overwhelming support, and her channel experienced rapid growth, with a new VTuber model gifted by an artist named Midas who was moved by her story.
The Expose: Blueless Uncovers the Truth [9:19]
A new YouTube channel called Blueless released a video exposing Blue's lies, claiming that her gen mates in Haxis were all the same person using different voices. The video also alleged that Blue created two new VTuber agencies, Celeste and the Luminary Project, during her supposed death, with all the voices sounding suspiciously similar to hers. Additionally, Blueless pointed out that Blue's Tik Tok account only followed four people, one of them being Marionica, who was likely Blue herself.
The Spiral: Blue's Defense and Unraveling [13:32]
In response to the Blueless expose, Blue uploaded three videos attempting to explain the situation, claiming her death was a misunderstanding and blaming her cousin and parents for exploiting the situation. She posted proof videos of her talking with her gen mates, but they came across as strange and unconvincing. Blue's efforts to defend herself on Twitter inadvertently drew more attention to the allegations, causing even her supporters to question her story.
Mounting Evidence: Cracks in the Story [16:32]
Despite Blue's attempts to deny the allegations, the evidence against her continued to mount. Blueless released direct voice comparisons between Blue and her supposed gen mates, revealing nearly identical voices and mannerisms. Momo, supposedly her gen mate, was caught shopping for a laptop for Blue, and Dia Shizuku, another VTuber Blue claimed was different, was seen walking in a park, contradicting Blue's claim of being paraplegic. Blue also slipped up during a live stream, forgetting to log out of one of her alt accounts.
The House of Cards Collapses: More Fake Personas [21:09]
More evidence emerged, including Blue's supposed boyfriend and Discord mod, Alex, being revealed as Blue doing a male voice impression. Another "man," Stefan, appeared in a Discord meeting for Luminary Idol Project, also voiced by Blue. Midas, the artist who created Blue's model, faced harassment and clarified her position, expressing distress over the situation.
Panic Mode: Dog Scare and Disappearance [24:47]
As the controversy escalated, Blue entered panic mode, initiating a lockdown on her Discord server and claiming to be a victim of a targeted harassment campaign. She disappeared briefly, leading her mods to fear the worst. Blue returned, claiming she had attempted suicide and been diagnosed with appendicitis, but the timeline didn't add up, and she was messaging her artist during the supposed attempt.
The Confrontation: Mods Demand the Truth [28:12]
Blue's moderators reached their breaking point and confronted her directly, demanding answers about the allegations. They asked Momo to join a voice call to discuss the Riley account and other inconsistencies, but Momo refused. The mods pressed on, questioning the reality of Alex and pointing out inconsistencies in Blue's stories. Momo eventually claimed that Blue was shutting down everything due to someone close to her being doxed.
The Mod Expose: Confirmation of Deception [31:20]
The mod team revealed everything, confirming that Blue was every member of Haxis and that she had been spiraling and trying to maintain control over a collapsing narrative. They detailed the suicide scare, the fake boyfriend, and the numerous alternate accounts Blue created to control the narrative. The mods also revealed the financial consequences, with over £1,000 raised through Kofi under false pretenses.
Emotional Fallout: Betrayal and Consequences [35:01]
Blue's actions caused significant emotional damage to her community, who felt betrayed by her lies. Many of her fans were chronically ill or disabled and had seen themselves in her. The artist who created Blue's model also faced harassment and backlash. Blue's constant tweets and updates drew more attention to the allegations, leading more fans to watch the Blueless video and believe it.
Confession and New Identity: The Aftermath [39:36]
Blue eventually admitted to some of her lies, claiming her gen mates were imaginary friends and that her cousin Mariona was a real person helping out. She posted a final message, a Google doc titled "graduation, my story," where she came clean about the lies and the damage she caused. Blue deleted her YouTube channels and socials and said she would be stepping away from the internet to get help. However, she returned a few days later under a new alias, attempting to start over without acknowledging her past.
