The Online Disappearance of Drakestopher (CatchingYourClouds)

[@littlemetaldevil]

So a few things, drakes video was him talking a bit aboout Cecilias allegations but he barely brushed on it and said some of the things she mentioned were true & some were false but wouldnt clarify which was what. He also talked about him giving away her hamster and strangely stuck to that part a lot longer than he should've, i havent finished the video yet but im surprised you didnt mention the animal abuse he caused for his poor husky.

[@littlemetaldevil]

Haleys video was her defending drake & was later retracted. Cecilias statement was her recounting her relationship with drake & how she was groomed/manipulated by him. Also multiple threads I made about him went into in depth detail about his relationship with Cecilia.

[@littlemetaldevil]

Also Cecilia saying the relationship hadn't started til she was of age was never shown/proven

[@marsii]

Is this video okay? I appreciate your clarification and will pin the comment

[@littlemetaldevil]

@@marsii your video is kinda tip of the iceberg stuff with this whole situation, there was a ton of stuff that wasn't included like tinychat (where he would give out his phone number regularly, and even showered once (possibly more) while still in it) and cass who was also abused/manipulated by him, more proof of his and cecilias relationship in threads I had made, etc. Alot of the stuff in the video is part of the bigger story with him, i wouldnt of cut it up imho, and stuff that you're having issues finding is documented & safe but not posted. Also as a note hibi is a good friend of mine and will probably not reach out to you as she just wants to move on from this situation, but her tweet that was shown rescinding her statement was part of a big thread where he used some very choice slurs and she had had enough of him.

[@marsii]

I hope pinning your comment offers additional context to people who are wondering. I wasn't sure how to go or where to go to find more, I tried my best with what I could find. I really appreciate your comment

[@TempuraKai]

I always wondered what happened to him...He use to be one of my favorites and I religiously kept up with his uploads from WAY back....sheesh

[@kitkat88816]

Oof didn’t realise there was allegations 💀

[@daturainnoxiaa]

Literally just went down this rabbit hole when I realized his music wasn’t on Spotify anymore-????

[@marsii]

I'm not exactly sure but through some distribution companies I think you have to pay a fee each year to have them on Spotify, there's a chance it wasn't financially viable anymore

[@Vampryn]

his original channel was called drakeLAWL where he would upload videos with his friend colton who had a falling out with him after they met irl (i think coltons username was 1c3xc01dx10v3). i think there are still some videos available on the drakeLAWL channel, colton is in the great escape chipmunked one

[@marsii]

Thank you for that, it didn't come up in my research, I appreciate the additional information

[@Rh11993]

Omg yes I couldn't remember the original name and my bad, I thought it was carlton 😂💀 Tysm for memory jog! He always evaded telling me why him and Colton fell out, and now after seeing all of this, I'm super curious.

[@Vampryn]

@rhiwillow8090 Colton posted about it, saying drake was being rude to his mom and acting privileged. I don't remember the specifics though

[@kitkat88816]

Thankyou so much for doing this video!

[@celestate]

holy shit 😂😂 i thought nobody would've talked of this

[@marsii]

It is strangely not documented very well

[@celestate]

​@@marsiiI used to watch him all the time, was wondering the story why the channel disappeared. Thanks for covering this.

[@TaurusRose28]

We will never forget. For the ones of us who watched his playthroughs and listened to his music and loved his ideas and his unique talent for writing music. Your mind is your anchor your heart is your sail. Ive been following Drakestopher and Catching your clouds since i was 16. I know all the songs hes written. I have mostly watched all his videos. I am not his biggest fan by no means. But he was the reason i never gave up when i was younger. Im so sorry.

[@kael1716]

Great video, you are really clever to find all those threads - from just about nothing. Thank you once again!

[@selenasanchez4168]

this video is great! a shame a lot of what was posted about him and such is basically lost. i had been present for the whole thing when it went down, but i also have my own story about him and my experience that took place in the summer of 2012. multiple girls do that haven't shared their stories.

[@marsii]

do you have any archive of it?

[@sytmor]

I did once ask Jake (the other half of flatline) what happened, and he said Drake was a horrible person. I wish I could find the video I commented on but I can’t.

[@marsii]

It might be on the way back machine, do you have any idea of a date or title?

[@sytmor]

@@marsii I tried to look again and wasn't able to find it. If I have time again, I'll try to reach out to Jake Bateman and see if he would be willing to talk about the dismemberment and his experience with Drake.

[@marsii]

I could go through his channel on the wayback Machine if you have any idea of a year?

[@sytmor]

@@marsii sorry I just saw this. I would say maybe 2019/2020?

[@cinnamonbun1354]

I still follow cess on Instagram she a sweet soul i do miss her KZbin videos. But great video marsii! Its very hard to find info on this dude you must done some extreme digging. I remember watching his videos and he would just throw his cat around the room for no reason so i stopped watching him

[@Alyssakamui]

What’s her @ I miss her

[@laurel_bee]

I'm friends with a partner of someone who used to be friends with Drake until they also realized that the friendship dynamic they had was unhealthy, a couple years ago. I'm just glad they aren't associating with him anymore. He's a piece of work.

[@marsii]

I hope they're safe

[@lumiskullgurl923]

hooo boi this guy.... he never did pay for any of the twitch emotes i made him (i also made the hauntsii logo)

[@marsii]

I'm sorry to hear that, did he 'pay you in exposure' or was it actually supposed to be money?

[@lumiskullgurl923]

@@marsii was supposed to be when he got partnered on Twitch, but he was so inconsistent with streaming :/ the logo was paid for at least. He did turn some of the emotes to merch without telling me first. I was a newbie back then so idk what I was doing but looking back I really should've asked for money upfront. Eh lesson learned.

[@marsii]

They looked good at least (based off the logo), not really something you would probably feel comfortable using as a reference to your artwork given the allegations though I'd imagine

[@Rh11993]

This is wild. We used to play world of warcraft together and he'd send me the occasional video before uploading to KZbin ( when he used to do the random vids with.. Carlton? I can't remember) and something reminded me of him, so I thought I'd come check out what happened and 🤯 Lowkey horrified. Ty for the video!

[@marsii]

Hopefully you didn't experience anything like what was discussed in the video, hope you're okay

[@Rh11993]

@marsii Aw, thank you! Honestly, I clearly dodged a bullet as he was always very nice to me. I guess you can never tell someone's true motive on the Internet, haha, scary stuff! 😅

[@marsii]

I think given the lengths he's gone to hide now is pretty telling unfortunately, I'm glad your experiences were positive at least

[@Rh11993]

@marsii Yeah, I can definitely say I'm one of the lucky ones, I can't help but feel bad for others, though. Thanks for bringing light to it! 🫶

[@sytmor]

If anyone wants to hear the song, I just posted the entire more than friends album.

[@sytmor]

I also just uploaded all his other albums/ep's. I feel like some of the flatline songs hint at his relationship with Ceclia but I could be wrong.

[@cinnamon1004]

dated this guy for like 2 weeks when I was in middle school 😭😭😭 that was before 2012 though. he made videos with Colton then! he was super weird back then too.

[@anotherirrelevantopinion4776]

What about Christian Novelli, i think was his name

[@marsii]

Just googled him, last video 6 years ago

[@ghoulissa]

look up his band fox academy!!!

[@kitkat88816]

Holy dam I remember him he was all over tumblr

[@adadove6380]

i have never stopped following him love him. fox academy is so good, he posted videos for awhile too

[@adadove6380]

literally been like a decade now lol wow

[@YungJisatsu]

All these emo youtubers are so weird. I feel like almost all of them have allegations

[@chrisallen9036]

Oh God Drake..... an absolute train wreck

[@marsii]

It's a pretty messy story

[@YungEdwin]

bro speaks like xqc

[@marsii]

That's a new one 😂

[@adorepinkx]

YUCK

[@littlexxbull]

Edit: holy shit I just made it to the end of the video and Hailey's tweet sounded so sadly familiar to how our thing went down. I don't even know what to say because when I blocked him was late 2018. That's when we stopped talking. It was around thanksgiving. That just put the biggest pit in my stomach. Him and I had a small thing going on and he got mad at me for smoking. I was 18. I was consenting yeah, but me and a friend of mine were associated with a lot of his friends and we've talked about it a lot lately. It's just so weird seeing him and video essays popping up in him. I looked up to him so much beforehand and then I dunno. Something about everything just kind of made me a little sick. He was incredibly sweet but it felt a little off and false. And when he got so so angry I smoked, I blocked him. I gave up. I still have the number he gave me on my old phone. I wish the kindness felt more real. And it breaks my heart he made so many girls uncomfortable. It makes ME uncomfortable bc he first started talking to me when I was 16 but nothing super bad. It just makes me wonder what could've happened and as a victim of my own personal traumas, the fact that I could have had anything happen to me in this instance is super fucking scary. I dodged a bullet I think but I hate that the bullet had to be dodged. I just wanna hug everyone involved man. I'm sorry I'm venting this underneath a comment on a random video about it on KZbin. It just popped up and opened up a lot of weird feelings about the whole shift.

[@littlexxbull]

I feel like it's worth noting that the last interaction I had before the anger he showed (where he told me how to handle my own disabilities, that was the main thing to cause the blocking.) was on a choir trip I had for my college. I was sitting in the bathtub in my groups motel room while they were all asleep and he was at a little pizza party or some shit with his friends. He ended up Skyping with me and went outside to do it and that felt so weird to do. And all he did was tell me I was so beautiful. I was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. Like over and over. And he asked how my day was and would just interject with how beautiful he thought I was. And it just felt so off coming from someone who already dealt with a manipulative abuser. Then to flip and show so much anger the next day over an 18 year old smoking to help her Tourette's? That's just so odd. It just felt like when I was abused. It felt like if I had kept going and let him suddenly demean me in that kind of way ever again, it would be bad. And then to see that RIGHT AFTER, the public started to become more aware of his decline and that he was getting exposed a lot. I never inserted my voice because I feel like it wasn't worth adding, but me and the people around me at the time as well as a few people who knew about it that I've become friends with recently just from being in passing with his friends, and even though I still don't feel like my voice on this is worth interjecting, it just all feels so fucking gross. And I got curious because of this video and looked him up on Facebook. And oh my god. Just oh my god the shit I saw just made me feel so fucking sick. I don't even know what to say. That's so scary.

[@marsii]

Thank you for sharing your story, you are valid, it sounds awful from what you've written, I'm glad it didn't get worse. I hope you are doing okay now,nif you're not that's totally valid too, we're all on our own journey's, trauma and recovery don't just go away.
