Thannus: Serialized

Thannus: Serialized is an American gaming YouTuber who creates Let's Play-style content intended to provide walkthroughs of the games he plays through, in a style similar to Chuggaaconroy, his primary inspiration.

History
Thannus joined YouTube on January 26, 2014, and started his channel, "Ummah," making Minecraft-focused videos, in which he played through a survival world. He also posted LEGO stop-animation content for a time, specifically centered around the Mixels line. In late 2015, he rebranded his channel as "DragonFaceGaming" and began to post other videos focused on video game Let's Plays, playing through games such as Pikmin 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. However, in December of 2016, he rebranded his channel to the name "DFaceG Rebooted" and deleted all videos released prior to that month, none of which were archived.

Starting in December 2016 as "DFaceG Rebooted," he continued his Let's Play style of content, his first series covering the survival-horror game The Last of Us. This remains the oldest series on the channel that he has done. His Let's Play of The Last of Us was followed by other Let's Plays as well; he has also uploaded livestreams and reaction videos to Nintendo Directs.

He rebranded his channel oncemore in May of 2020 to "Thannus: Serialized," and has stated that this channel was to now be his secondary channel, with a new channel, simply called "Thannus," hosting less Let's Play-based content and more variety content. However, he has since doubled back, and still focuses primarily on uploading to Thannus: Serialized. Thannus currently has less subscribers than Thannus: Serialized, and future variety content will be posted to the original channel instead.

2020 was also Thannus' biggest year of growth; as he began to promote his videos on forums such as Reddit and other places such as Discord, he saw a jump from approximately 75 subscribers to nearly 150, gaining as many subscribers in one year as he had gained in the prior six years his channel was up.

Thannus also began Twitch streaming under the name "ThannusYT" in 2020; however, his streams are inconsistent and he does not finish many of the games he plays on Twitch. All Twitch streams are reuploaded to "Thannus: Serialized" in their entirety.

Unlikely To Survive
Unlikely To Survive, previously known was "mattpool1225" and later "Trashy Bashy Matt," is Thannus' cousin and most closely associated creator on YouTube. While they have few collaboration videos together, both of them were members of the now-dissolved Graffiti Jammerz YouTube group, and Thannus helped to create and technically has primary control over Unlikely's channel (though he does not exercise it). Unlikely appears in Thannus' videos "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Shaggy's Reign of Terror" and "The Game Awards 2020 - Full Stream - December 10, 2020", and Thannus appears in Unlikely's videos "Minecraft Randomness With DragonFaceGaming", "diep.io (Part 1) GET OFFA MY LAWN!", "Slither.io and Agar.io Challenge with DragonFace Gaming!", and "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Episode 1: Control Hate".

Graffiti Jammerz
Graffiti Jammerz is a collaboration channel founded by Thannus, Unlikely, and Thannus' sister. Content consisted of either two or all three of them playing multiplayer games with one another. Games played on the channel consist of Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Mario Party 10; the channel has not had an upload since 2017 and is considered dead.

Other activities
Outside of YouTube and video games, Thannus enjoys reading and watching TV or movies. He is a very big fan of the Star Wars franchise. Thannus also spends a lot of time drawing, an activity he often shares the results of on his personal Twitter and Instagram accounts. He plans to attend college in a game art design and 3D modeling class.

 * Thannus was eleven when his channel was first established, and thirteen when his oldest existing video was uploaded. He is currently eighteen and still maintaining his channel.
 * Thannus' earlier videos have him speaking in a prepubescent voice, on account of his younger age. His more recent videos consist of his more adult voice.
