―Yamimash's Intro | ||
Aaron Ash (born: August 25, 1991), better known online as Yamimash, or Yammy, is an English YouTube gamer who plays tons of horror games.
History[]
He started uploading videos in 2009 when he produced GOW3 videos. He didn't do commentaries on them at first, but after a while, he gave it a try. His first subscribers were there only for GOW and COD, but in 2012, he gave other games an opportunity. Yamimash then played Slender and other scary games, where he hit massive popularity. However, he does not just play games based on horror or puzzles. Pokémon and Minecraft are also on his list.

In Slender Prison, you will see Yamimash raging, glitching twice through the map. His mother played also slender the 8 pages.

The names of the custom stories are:

In some of them, he didn't play alone; Markiplier and Morfar joined Fear in a story.
Platform games[]
Super Meat Boy[]
'Until I Go Crazy' that was the name of the series. Yami isn't the best in platform games, that will become clear if you watch this series. However, he lasted at least 16 episodes before he went for a ragequit.
Happy Wheels[]
After that his fans keep asking for Happy Wheels. He has played some of the custom maps about himself.
Co-op with TheOfficialEdge[]
One of the best friends of Yami is TheOfficialEdge. Edge is the second one that makes a lot of video's with Yami. This won't be much scary videos but puzzles, Platform or Call of Duty.
Bloody Trapland[]
This is probably the game that causes Yami and Edge to rage the most. This series contains 20 videos of raging and laughing (the laughing part is for the subscribers). But what's very clear, is that Edge is better than Yami. That makes Yami rage even more.
The first nine episodes they play together as a team. Trying to survive each map. But what its looks like at the 9th episode its almost impossible.
Slendytubbies[]
In a special horror collaboration "Edge Vs. Yami". They couldn't resist this game. Yami needed to collect the "custards" ("pages" in this game). While Edge had the roll as murderer (Tinky Winky). Edge trolled Yamimash by saying that there was something behind the tree. Yamimash also teamed up with horror gamer Markiplier for a collaboration of "Slendytubbies."
Terraria[]
This is the shortest series there was. They did 2 episodes and then quit it. They didn't find the objective. Yami promised he will upload another episode in the next 2 Years.
Co-op with AaroInTheKnee[]
Yami's old roommate is Shane (AaroInTheKnee). They are best friends and have played multiple games together which turns into hilarious moments, watching both of them doing well together or turning into each other.
Minecraft[]
Solo Minecraft[]
Minecraft is also on his list. At first he played Minecraft on his own, however he found it boring. He died a lot; he had to restart all the time because of this.
YOGBOX[]
So he decided to play YOGBOX. After a while, he quit playing it.
Legend of Zelda mod[]
The Legend of Zelda mod was not a success either. In some of the videos he must do a jump challenge. He often time lapsed it because he fell several times.
His own server[]
After that he had a server. It was very popular; it didn't last for long. Here he met his currently friend Edge. TheOfficialEdge joined him in other games multiple different times afterwards.
Present Minecraft[]
From this point on he has had a long Minecraft series. A dual survival with AaroInTheKnee. The series has more than 50 videos. It ended with them losing their world. Now they troll each other in creative mode. Markiplier joined them as the third player. Yami also appeared on several episode of Markiplier's drunk Minecraft which he uses he's Ash Ketchum skin and role played as Hershel from the "Walking Dead" series though he becomes Pirate Hershel in the middle of the first episode he's in when Mark heard him grunt like a pirate. The last episode they've done is a Minecraft version of the "Hunger Games".
Controversy & Decline In Popularity[]
Grooming allegations[]
In early 2016, YouTuber known as Keemstar released a video talking about a controversy involving Yamimash and a 14-year-old girl. Apparently, Yami was flirting with the girl and they had exchanged some pictures. Later Yami and his (now ex) girlfriend released a video on YouTube called “My side explained” said the girl twisted the situation into something it wasn't. Even after evidence was provided proving his innocence, Yami's channel continued in a downward spiral. This led to him uploading another video in February 2017 titled “My channel is dead”. And in early October 2017, he stopped posting videos altogether. As of early 2018, he has started posting videos but at a slower rate and presently he made a collaboration playthrough after several solo plays.
Post-Controversy, Hiatus & Future[]
Since the controversy, Yamimash's popularity seems to have plummeted with a significant decrease of views and the other YouTubers he used to do collaboration videos with have stopped to make videos with him (many fans started to believe Markiplier stopped to make collaborations with Yamimash since the controversy). His hiatus in 2017 also didn't helped as most trolls tried to defame him by recalling the past controversy (see in Trivia). Despite making videos back in 2018-2019, Yamimash's views would be very meager and with no collaboration videos with other YouTubers, his subscriber count also has noticeably decreased over the years, going from 1.3 million subscribers to 1.2 millions. His last video was "Code Cadima" in December 2020, after that he ceased any forms of activities on his channel.
In August 2021, Yamimash posted on his Twitter account a message with a selfie and explains he might return one day to make videos or streaming, however it won't be on a daily routine as it was before and most likely as a "part-time thing". Despite the little activity on Twitter and YouTube, this sparked a small gleam of hope in his fans.
In July 2022, Yamimash came back to youtube and is back to streaming on Twitch.
