After a few years on Tiktok, how are we finding it?

In the vast and sometimes treacherous landscape of social media, we found ourselves on a hilariously unpredictable adventure as cosplayers, attempting to embody the iconic characters of Pamela and Jason Voorhees. Little did we realize that our comedic escapades would attract a following of brave souls who appreciate our unique brand of humor. Today, we want to express our deepest thanks for the surprises that await us during our TikTok livestreams, the unexpected connections we stumble upon, and the incredible community of fellow enthusiasts who join us on this wild ride. Just like an unexpected banana peel on Jason's path, the surprises we encounter during our livestreams never fail to leave us hilariously startled. But before the laughter takes hold, we must acknowledge the jittery nerves and nagging doubts that haunt us before we hit that "Go Live" button. Like two campers trying to put up a tent, we question ourselves: Will anyone even care? Will they be rolling on the floor laughing or simply rolling their eyes? Yet, as we take that leap of faith, the overwhelmingly kind and supportive comments we receive from all of you sweep away our worries and leave us in stitches of gratitude. Similar to stupid campers stumbling into Jason's clutches, we find ourselves equally bewildered by the overwhelming support and laughter we encounter. Your words of appreciation and encouragement hit us like a crazy plot twist. We never expected such a level of comedic camaraderie for our cosplaying endeavors. In these uproarious moments, we come to realize the impact we've unintentionally made and the connections we've hilariously forged. We are eternally grateful for each and every person, tapping, sharing, gifting or subscribing who has joined us on this super satisfying journey, adding a much-needed dose of laughter to our lives. Navigating the intricacies of our cosplays, attempting to perfect mask design that doesn't resemble a dogs dinner, and putting the finishing touches on our comedic routines often leave us in fits of laughter. But it's precisely these late-night shenanigans that make going live so side-splittingly exciting. Anticipation builds as we transform into our characters, ready to share our comedic passion and unleash the Friday the 13th universe with a touch of silliness. It's like Tommy Jarvis trying to outwit the real Jason with a rubber chicken and a plastic machete! Little did we know that the laughter and support we receive during these live sessions would become the most rewarding part of our comedic cosplay adventure. In the Friday the 13th movies, Jason often encounters memorable characters who infuse the story with their own brand of humor. Tommy Jarvis, for example, brought his own quirky charm to the series. In our livestreams, we're lucky to have our own memorable Characters popping up for live chats and battles. We appreciate them and all the other Tommy Jarvis-like viewers who keep our livestreams entertaining with their entertaining brilliance. Speaking of brilliance, we can't forget to mention the mighty Kane Hodder, the master of physicality and the man behind the iconic portrayal of Jason Voorhees me and Ma love. His skillful blend of terror and funny moments serves as a constant inspiration to us. We strive to capture the essence of physical genius as we stumble and fumble our way through our own cosplaying endeavors. It's the same with Ma, speaking some of Pamela Voorhees' iconic lines but altering them to make me go get her a drink! We are really enjoying putting out the content on Ma's account at the moment (@originalpamelavoorhees), where we've unleashed a series of comedy show videos. Ma (Pamela) tirelessly works to find the perfect funny sounds for us to use, finding some classic British Comedy gold to use. Her contributions add an extra layer of entertainment to our cosplaying output, and we are thoroughly enjoying this collaborative comedy chaos. In Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason's wrath extends even to a boxer who loses his head—literally! It's a knockout performance that really left us all in stitches. While we don't have boxing skills, we hope our comedic antics can deliver a similar "punchline" and we'll continue to put out content for our friends and followers to enjoy hopefully. As we stumble and pratfall our way through this strange journey, we invite you to join us in the comedic depths of Crystal Lake. In the words of Crazy Ralph from Friday the 13th Part 2, "You're all doomed! You're all doomed!" But fear thee not, it is not a curse but a promise of laughter, silliness and the camaraderie we share. Together, we will forge a community where surprises, kindness, and Chief Williams' melodies thrive. We shout out our deepest thanks to all of you, for everything you do for us! Lets keep the positive vibes flowing, Much love from Pamela and Me💀

Pamela and I were chatting yesterday about our livestream on tiktok and thinking about if there are any benefits. We all want to get better and level up at a few things in our lives don't we.. We both think that the hours we've spent chatting to our friends while hosting our tiktok lives have had some really positive effects on our day to day life actually. Here are some of the positive effects we feel: It makes you more tolerant because lets face it, we deal with enough trolls! better at speaking publicly better at listening better at communicating with different types of people from different backgrounds Makes you more diplomatic Makes you better at storytelling I remember being at School and being terrified of public speaking. I'd always talk myself out of it and never want to volunteer to do presentations. Ma's the same. Don't get me wrong, she's a confident girl but she feels so much more confident with public speaking as a result of being on tiktok! We've mentioned before, Pamela and I love a bit of performing and used to go to a lot of Karaoke's back in the day. Even open mic nights. Now we just make sure to include bits of that in our tiktok lives. So the regular streaming is really helping us with a creative outlet. It's the same with our mask making. We make themed masks that allow for an artistic outlet. All of this will hopefully make us get better at it and most importantly it's giving us the chance to do something we love. This is wonderful for our mental health! There are so many hosts out there doing something. Imagine all of these people somehow progressing in some way or another because of streaming. That's the beauty of being a tiktok live host. Sometimes you are progressing and you don't even realize it. The icing on the cake is being able to help others who may be watching your show. A lot of our friends have told us that we've helped them so much and their mental health. We feel it's the other way round. Our friends help us so much more than they know! Thanks for reading. Just our thoughts. OriginaljasonandMa🥶

We've all been there haven't we.. You're doing so well on Tiktok. You're videos are getting good numbers. You're lives are full of amazing people from all over the World and then bang. You get a suspension and you can't go live for a week..😭 Next thing you know, you're content views plummet and you start to think people aren't interested in your vids anymore or you get paranoid that people aren't making an effort with you. Well it's a shame to say but this is often caused by those pesky little Trolls that we all have to deal with at some point in our journey as a Tiktok live host. But who are the Trolls? In Pamela's and my experience, there are two types of Trolls. One type are the Joker type characters who just like to inflict random carnage and then watch the World burn... You know, they come in and just say silly things. I don't mind these ones. They can be funny at times and you can turn it into a funny moment. Our mate Walking Leaf say that some of his biggest fans are Trolls!🤣 He's a good guys who looks on the bright side of life. The other type are sadly people you have fallen out with who at some point may have even been really close friends with you. They've taken offence to you blocking them, so are out for some type of revenge. They don't want to see you do well so really try to stop you by mass reporting your content. A lot of people say it's jealousy. I think it's more a way for them to get back at the person. I would urge anyone who has ever been blocked by someone to just move on with their own lives and content creation and put in 100% effort with it. Don't waste your time holding grudges, talking about the person you've fallen out with. Don't put up hateful vids calling people out. This will get you nowhere and actually make you look like a c*nt. All it will do is put people off and make people think twice about wanting to get close to you as they see what you are capable of and how you hold a grudge when things don't go your way. It's a child like reaction really. School kids stuff.🙄 Remember, time is precious and you can't get it back once it's gone. We see time and time again, lots of our good friends being suspended and this can be soul destroying for them. It takes a lot of bravery to become a live host and start streaming. So many hosts build up a community where they help their viewers. Life is a struggle as it is and the road to being positive is tough. When Pamela and I go live, we find it really helps our mental health. Some of our best nights have been on Tiktok. A few kind words go a long way. People cheers you up. We have amazing friends coming in all the time bringing us up so we try to be positive too. If we get these negative moments or suspensions, we just take a break from going live. Maybe shift our focus. It's when you may be struggling in your actual real day to day life and then get problems online too. That's when everything can start to get to you. Just because your favorite live host always seems happy, they may actually be going through some tough times. Being on Tiktok may be the only glimmer of hope they have in an otherwise less than fruitful life. It may be their lifeline. So if you're reading this and have someone you've fallen out with. Take a moment to stop before you try to take them down. You can channel that energy into having fun with your own content and try to make some vids. Having your own project gives you something to actually put some of yourself into. You never know. You may really start to enjoy becoming a content creator and want to forget about being a Troll.🙏 Thanks for reading- remember, just our thoughts really... OriginaljasonandMa🥶

Are you a content creator and Live Host in Cosplay? Would you say that you are quite serious about what you do? Well if the answer is yes, you can most certainly treat your content offering as your side hustle and a way of earning some extra money if you want to. So many people do it. The best thing about it is that you are really focusing on something you are passionate about too! Me and Pamela look at our stream a couple of ways as we've said before. It's a Side Hustle. It's a way of channeling your creativity. It's an escape from our worries in life. We really enjoy meeting like minded people who also love the art of Cosplay. When we're live, we never "beg" for gifts. If we are gifted, we are super grateful! That's the way it should be- not asking for gifts to go up in the rankings. We appreciate the support so much. If we don't receive gifts, it's all good because we love what we do on our streams and have amazing friends that we enjoy interacting with! Life tends to go this way for most people- You go to School and then maybe College or University. You then get a job and have to wait for that monthly paycheck which can be a bit of an annoying routine really. I always get payed and am okay for 2 weeks but then skint for the next 2. But if you work hard at what you do with your Tiktok or social media account, you can start to earn some extra cash that you wouldn't usually have. With that money, you should definitely try to save some as a main priority we think. Not just spend it on a load of takeout food! Then you could reinvest in your Cosplay or equipment to make stream improvements, or even try to invest in Shares or Funds to create another source of income. Either of these would be a way of making your money work for you. That side hustle really could help you to generate some wealth! We live in times where there is so much info out there. Understanding how to generate wealth is something that is worth learning about and trying to develop. I often read up articles about the stock exchange. Be someone who is constantly trying to gain knowledge if you are interested in this. Interviews with Warren Buffett are always enlightening and well worth searching up on Youtube.. Thanks for taking the time to read.. Remember, these are just our own thoughts really.. OriginaljasonandMa🥶

Hey guys, if you are already friends with me and @originalpamelavoorhees, you will already know that we love what we do and enjoy our Friday the 13th based Cosplay project. We absolutely love creating videos and doing our livestreams. We love the Mask making and putting together different costumes, selecting our music and lighting. Meeting different people, chatting and having battles. Supporting people from our community where we can. A lot of people manage to monetize their streams and content and we are no different. It's one of our aims actually. We have 3 Kids and very busy jobs too so this is a side project where if we put in the effort, the rewards can be awesome. It's like a second job for the both of us. Problem is, if you look at it as being a job, the fun starts to disappear and you start to focus on trying to earn money as one of your main priorities. Money can be a great motivator but it can also cause stress. Pamela and myself were chatting the other day and we had this conversation. We both agreed that we actually want the fun element to be the main priority and if by any chance we do earn money, well that's a bonus.. A big bonus actually! 😁 It's the passion. That is what should completely drive you. Not the money or the numbers of who's liking your content. Yes, you can use your viewing figures, likes and comments as a way to assess your progress but different things can effect these anyway that are out of your control. Things like trolls or changes in what viewers are interested in. If you then become bogged down at the lack of likes you're getting, you can become worried or upset about it. We find that it's better to come up with concept ideas for a series of themed videos where you may try something new and fresh. Once you take that as far as it can go, you can then go in a different direction. You know what I mean? How many times have you seen creators doing the same thing over and over again. You look at their page and all the vids are the same in style and substance. I'm not talking about the massive creators who have gone viral with doing a certain type of video. Good luck to them- they've smashed it. I'm talking about the ones that are doing ok and have been around for a while but have hit a bit of a wall almost like writers block. It's this moment where you want to go to the next level. If we all constantly challenge ourselves to try something new, we can keep ourselves passionate and inspired. We can enjoy every moment of the video creation and Live Hosting. You have to enjoy it! It's a must! So, if you take a good hard look at your content, try to keep what you love doing and get rid of what you are not. Change your thought process if needed and focus on your passions. I'm sure your viewers will be able to see your enjoyment in what you put out. Don't be too stressed about video likes. Work hard to make sure you're having fun and all of a sudden you may reignite that passion that may have drifted away. Remember, this is only mine and Pamela's thoughts. We aren't experts. We just love to write about our thoughts and experiences in Cosplay. It's one of our passions! Thanks for reading! OriginaljasonandMa🥶

So it's 2023 and still no Flying Cars or time travel... But we are still loving life as Tiktok live hosts! What are the plans for moving into 2023? Well me and Pamela were chatting the other day about our stream, how it's going and what we want to do. The quick answer is, more of the same but we're looking to streamline our way of working. We need to get more organised. Not get too planned up but just start by looking at our Cosplay clothing and masks which we have a shit tonne of, Go through it all and have a big sort. What works well? What not so well? Looking at it, do we need to buy any additional bits and pieces? If so, new outfits really help in creating new fresh content. Cosplayer's are admired greatly for their creative costumes. Investing in new ideas are a must! Once we go through Clothing, Props & Masks, we can do the same with our lighting and actual stream area setup. How can we make improvements? Remember, your friends who follow you love to watch how your Stream evolves over time. Any changes you make keep things interesting for them. For the last 6 Months or so, Pamela and I have been trying to Duel live a lot more with other Live Hosts. This has been to try to get to know our friends a bit more and try to create more of a community where we all know each other really well. That's the choice we decided on. So it's been more talking and interacting through Tiktok Battles and less Performance. It's good for people to get to know you as a Cosplayer and not just the Character you're trying to portray. We'll be looking at ways to change up our stream always. Another thing we'll be doing more of is our Radio Show: CCL Flashback. We love to play our favorite music and have great friends coming in with song requests. I like joking around with Ma doing these shows. It also gives our friends something different from us. We'll also be working hard to make new videos. If you have a great video posting strategy, this can really gain you followers. Is it trends? Is it the video effects? We'll be putting a lot more time and thought into what vids to do and how often to post. You have to work out what works best for you here. Some people post 2 vids a day. Others post 6 - 8 vids a day. It's good to have a posting strategy to keep your content visible and keep you fresh in peoples minds. Thanks for taking the time to read our thoughts and hopefully we can all have a Happy New Year! OriginaljasonandMa🥶

So it's almost here.. Christmas 2022!🙏 Wow, can't believe how quick it's come round this year! Life can be such a roller coaster of emotions with ups and downs for so many people. We actually love to go live on Tiktok as a way of escapism, forgetting our troubles and having a laugh with the amazing friends we've met on the app! We love to run our Friday the 13th based Cosplay stream and want to say thanks to the beautiful people who always bring us up and make it worth being content creators in the cosplay world. Big shouts out to our #VoorheesFam who also support us with regular duel lives and catch ups. Being live host, its the people who join us regularly who help us to get our stream out there. So many wonderful people who help us to build a positive community!🙏 For our Christmas Special, me and Ma decided to do our usual giveaway mask but for our unbelievable subscribers this time. The reason was because we thought we don't really do much for them so this would be our way of saying thank you. On the live, we put all of their names into a hat and drew out the winner.. It was our lovely friend @Tiffanynicolevoorheesfam who won which we were so happy about! Tiff won the Krampus mask that Pamela and I made together. We'll be posting it out next week after the postal strikes UK is having at the moment.. Hope you like it Tiff! Once again thanks to anyone who has subscribed to us. That's too kind of all of you actually..🙏 We'll be doing more live giveaways in the new year so please keep an eye out for our live streams and content!😁 Thinking about it, we had quite a productive year really.. We launched our Website, Blog and other Social Media Accounts, all of which we'll be growing as we move into the new year. Without the fantastic friends we've made there would be no audience to make content for. There would be no reason for Ma to make her Diamante Masks. No reason for @theclassicmichaelmyers to make vids with us.. No reason for me to do any artwork and basically no creative outlet for us at all. Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to read our blogs too. You have all made it all worthwhile for us! Thanks for taking the time to read our thoughts.. Much love guys..🙏 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ya filthy animals!🤣🤣🤣 Hope it's a good one for you and your Family..🙏 OriginaljasonandMa &Theclassicmichaelmyers🥶

As a live streamer, over time your stream will naturally evolve and you may be doing things differently to the way you did when you first started. This could be a good thing or a bad thing really. You have to assess that and ask yourself, are you happy with your stream? Have you veered off track over time? Are there certain things you do just to please people or because you think that's what people want? You need to ask yourself these questions because pleasing people is not sustainable in the long run in keeping yourself happy. You stream for hours on end so have to be happy doing what you do. Streaming should be about you being passionate about the thing you love to do. Our stream is made up of a few things. We like to play music and chat to our viewers but also, dance and perform around our Cosplay characters too. We show content but also show our art process around our masks. We also like to run a music quiz here and there as well. One thing that I struggle with is having live chats and battles. With this, you can either enjoy it or hate it depending on your mood and how your day's going. It’s interacting with callers but you never really know who’s gonna call and what they are going to say. They may call and not really have much to say, which can sometimes slow you down. Having calls brings you closer to your friends which is awesome. We've said before that you need to have good friends who you link up with to make your stream interesting. People who bring positivity. The main thing to remember If you’ve been streaming for a while, ask yourself, am I happy with what I’m putting out there? Identify what makes you happy and strip back what doesn't. At the end of the day, you being happy is the main thing. Not what you think's expected of you. Thanks for reading our thoughts. OriginaljasonandMa🥶
