I recently re-discovered this woman from something that Erin re-tweeted. As here:
https://twitter.com/ErinPlays_Games/status/1415142116821438464
It’s a meandering list of…”ignore the trolls”, effectively. Octavius addresses this list to those who are “struggling with anxiety/depression and feel like just giving up because you got some shitty comments.”
The list isn’t even worth talking about. It’s just random stream of consciousness from a woman with severe mental health problems (as she herself will admit…repeatedly).
But Erin agreed with this mess of a list because Erin also gets depressed from “shitty comments”, apparently? Who’s writing “shitty comments” about Erin? I’m giving Erin solid advice about her life and career. This Youtube scam is not working and it’s never going to work so go get a job. That’s just common sense. I’m the one person looking out for Erin’s best interests. These horntards are just enabling Erin’s poor decisions with their ass licking comments.
Crystal Quin does a “+1”. Again, who is leaving “shitty comments” about Crystal? Well, I suppose that I have seen some overly negative comments about her appearance. And I even, very reluctantly, made similar comments. But just stop talking about how hot you are and people won’t talk about your appearance. This is solid advice. It’s not “shitty”. This is advice that you can actually use to better yourself and get along with people better.
Anyway, Octavius King. I think that I wrote about her before but if I did, it’s lost to the ages. If I recall, somebody suggested that she has a good channel and then I watched some videos and…it was really, really bad. It’s clearly a woman with severe problems.
You might remember her as Octavius Kitten. She always wore cat ears. She’s Octavius King now. I don’t know if she wears cat ears still. But her pronouns are “they” and “them” now. Yeah, I won’t be doing that. It just makes reading really, really challenging.

There’s her Twitter. Everything is about her and how she’s depressed. Depressed people are like this. They’re very self-obsessed.
She’s doing a “writing degree”. What for? She’s 32 according to the internet. That seems low to me. But is she going to apply for a job as a writer? And the writing factory is going to be impressed with her degree? It’s a complete waste of time and money.
So anyway, she has a blog. I linked to it at the start of this thing. She seems to write…I don’t know…a few times a month. Whenever the spirit moves her.
She mostly writes about herself.
Let’s check it out. Maybe I can get some pointers for this blog.
http://www.octaviusking.com/my-first-troll-was-nearly-a-decade-ago/
Oh, she has her “merch” store on the side. That’s a good place for it. I just have a link at the top in small text. I don’t bother with the “merch” store, though.
So she starts off by talking about an “abusive relationship” that she was “trapped” in. Here we go.
It’s just the same fucking shit over and over and over again. If you’ve read one post from a self-obsessed depressed person, you’ve read them all. She’s going to talk about how she cuts herself and how everything is everyone else’s fault.
This “abusive” guy suggested that she’s a slut for having big breasts. I refuse to believe that anyone said that. And if somebody did say that, why would anybody believe it?
He went on to say that any guy talking to her was only trying to have sex with her. This sounds like an exaggeration. Maybe it was a warning that a lot of guys will say anything because they’re just trying to have sex with you. It’s true. We see it with these gamer grrls constantly. Does anyone honestly believe that Joe from Gamesack genuinely likes Erin’s videos? He’s trying to have sex with her, that’s why he says these things.
Finally, this “abusive” guy said that anyone who wants to be in the “creative sphere” was just doing it for attention. Was he wrong? These are the most needy and self-obsessed people on earth. I can see why she was attracted to the industry.
So she says that she was “trapped” with him and talks about how he was suicidal and whatnot so that’s why she stayed. Why would she put this out there? Why does she have zero sympathy for somebody who obviously has mental health problems, same as she has? Because she’s completely self-obsessed. She’s the only person who matters. Everybody is “gaslighting” her. She should do a “collab” with Bobdunga.
So after she “got rid” of this guy, who obviously had serious mental problems, she put her profile up on some acting/singing/whatever scam website. Then a guy left a message saying, “Give it up love. Your singing is cringey and you look average at best. Forget it.”
Oh, she’s from England, by the way. I should have mentioned that. She uses English slang CONSTANTLY. Really annoying.
Anyway, the advice was probably solid. I mean…obviously, the guy didn’t have to be insulting about it but…how can you say it politely? “This is not going to work. Invest your time in something more worthwhile.”
She blames that guy for her current depression and her working as a copywriter as opposed to a Hollywood movie star. Let’s be serious. She was not going to get a job as an actor or singer or whatever the fuck she was hoping for.
She ends with, “There is a huge difference between constructive criticism or simply not finding a creator to be your cup of tea, and telling them that they are worthless.” Again, what was that guy supposed to say? It was constructive criticism. Do something else.
He commented on her appearance because it was relevant to the industry. And he was pretty diplomatic about it. And he said that her singing was “cringey”. So he didn’t like her singing either.
Let’s check out another. Wow. She only started the blog in May 2020. Can that be right? Usually, people doing blogs started like ten years ago at least. Maybe she had a different blog before then.
Eugh. She does a bizarre TED talk on depression, “mate”. And it includes a lot of singing. Weird singing. Everything about this screams insanity.

This is why I didn’t want to write about her back when that guy recommended her. She obviously has serious problems. And I’m sympathetic.
It was the same with SupaPixelGirl. I didn’t want to write about her because she obviously is mentally ill. Bobdunga just barely passes my mental health threshold but her stuff can be REALLY uncomfortable to watch as well because she’s mentally ill.
Anyway, here’s her most recent article:
http://www.octaviusking.com/that-time-i-got-wankered-and-sent-job-applications/
It’s about how she used to drink all of the time and she sent a drunken job application out and then when the employer asked her to come in for an interview, she just didn’t reply because she was embarrassed or drunk or something.
Wow. What a story. Does she mention whose fault this was? The boyfriend? Well, she mentions a boyfriend but it’s mostly about some unmentioned trauma that happened to her.
She sprinkles quotes throughout these articles. Quotes that appear in the article already. I don’t know. I don’t like that kind of stuff. Not to be a “troll” or anything.
It’s like those blogs that put loads of pictures in the article. It’s to try to appeal to people with no attention span. “Hey look! We’ve got pictures!” And it’s just generic images that they found from a five second Google search.
Anyway, Octavius King aka Octavius Kitten. No, this is the last time I’m writing about her. Her videos are horrendous but there’s no comedy in writing about the mentally ill. That’s just sad. She says that she’s seeing a therapist and good for her. I hope that she gets better.
One of her recent blog posts goes into more detail about the boyfriend. I skimmed it and can see why you weren't enthusiastic about covering her further.
