8 minutes are finally completed for BFDIA but I ruined it!! I’m in the homestretch now, only gotta animate this last minute until it’s ready to come out. If things go according to plan, this video should be ready mid-November!
Next time I post an update, it’ll probably be the release date. Thanks to most of you guys being patient with me, animation takes FOREVER, and this is definitely my best work yet. Cant wait to show you all! :)

If 400,000 people in a stadium were all staring at me, I’d probably vomit, but seeing that number on a cake makes it a whole lot easier :)
Thanks to ‪@bigchieftf2‬ for spending the day with me, and creating this beautiful cake concoction (he poured ALL the sprinkles on it lol)

Am I reading this right? 400k?!
If you told me five years ago that I’d be here right now, I never would’ve believed you. Seriously, thank you all so much. It means the absolute world to me that this many people enjoy what I make. There’s a big video on the way, and I’ll be announcing some really exciting news soon! But before that, I want to take a moment to look back on how this whole journey started, and how it shaped who I am today. It’s a little long, you don’t have to read it, but if you’re curious about how this channel started, it’s there!


I still remember the very first time I tried animating. It was on my old iPhone back in 2019, when I made that “Attention” animation meme. My character was literally a stick figure, and I thought 4 fps was the perfect frame rate, which basically made it a slideshow lol. After that, I made another video for Halloween, this time with voice lines. And after finishing them both, I decided to upload them to YouTube.

Back then, the channel was called “Puffymillie Studios,” though I changed it to “Puffymillie Animations” not even a day later. My first upload was “Attention,” followed by a video called “Love,” which isn’t public anymore (maybe one day it’ll see the light again).

After posting them, I showed my channel to a friend with a big smile on my face, and he ROASTED me so hard that I actually started questioning if I should even keep going. I figured, if he’s my friend and he reacted that way, what would strangers online say? I was in 8th grade then, and word about my channel spread around school fast. I still remember kids coming up to me during lunch, phones in hand, showing my videos and laughing: “Is this really you?!” It was rough.

The first time I ever got a dislike on a video, I almost deleted my whole channel. I was really sensitive back then. I remember sitting there contemplating, staring at the delete button, and thinking about quitting already. But then COVID hit, and suddenly I was stuck at home with nothing but my thoughts, my family, and my phone. That’s when I decided to start uploading again, this time for me, not anyone else.

Then came the day that changed everything. I was in my Earth Science Zoom class, half-listening to my teacher talk about metamorphic rocks, when my phone started blowing up with YouTube notifications. The day before, I had uploaded “The Animaniacs Intro but I Ruined It,” which I made during a long car ride. I checked my phone and saw the views jump from 90… to 800… in just a few minutes.

I jumped out of my chair, ran to my brother’s room, and told him what was happening. My mom overheard and came in too. I showed her the video blowing up, and the first thing she said was, “What did you do?” which still makes me laugh to this day.

Eventually, I hit my first 1,000 subscribers. That’s when it clicked: I wanted to do this for real. Ever since then, I’ve met so many incredible people through YouTube who’ve each shaped me in some way.

If you’re a small YouTuber reading this, here’s my advice:
Be confident in your work. Own what you make, and be proud of every single milestone, no matter how small. If you’re not having fun creating your videos, people won’t have fun watching them.

It’s been an absolute honor growing this channel and reaching this milestone with all of you. Thank you for supporting me all these years, I’m not slowing down anytime soon. I’ll be uploading again sooner than you think, and I’ve got some really cool news coming next post!

Alright… until then, thank you so much for 400k. ❤️

Hey guys! I FINALLY hit the 7 minute mark, officially making this my longest video I’ve EVER made. This last minute was one of the most action packed sections I’ve ever animated, it took me over a month to make! I can’t stop rewatching it, I’m really proud of how it looks lol.

I honestly can’t wait to share this video with you all. I’ve been pouring everything into it, and I think it’s going to be absolutely worth the wait. After this, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to top myself.

Right now, I’m feeling pretty confident about an October release. I’m aiming to push through as much as I can before then, and once I get closer, I’ll know for sure if October’s the month, I’ll keep you guys updated!

Thank you all so much for your patience, it means the world. I promise this video is being served on a gold platter, garnished with salt and brought out with a side of mug root beer. MUGGGGG. Alright that’s it lol, until next update! :)

Anyways, I currently have 6:32 done with the BFDIA video, this is the hardest minute to animate and it’s over half way done! Thank god lol, I’m aiming to release this in October, I feel confident about getting it out in that month! Thanks again guys for being so patient, I feel like I’m really cooking here with this video :)

Hey guys! I’m finally back from vacation and ready to get back to work. I head back to college on August 31st, which means I’ve got just over a week to really lock in and make some progress. Also look at these photos of Millie I took :)

On a quick side note: my Discord server is officially gone. I just don’t have the time to be online and moderate it the way I used to, and I didn’t want to risk anything happening under my name without me around. I’m really sorry to those of you who enjoyed being in the server, or were there hatefully, I hope you understand why I had to make that decision.

Other than that, the vacation was great! It’ll be my last one before the next video comes out, so at least that’s good news. Thanks as always for sticking with me, and I’ll see you guys next time :)
