History Trivia / EmmaBlackery

** In 2024, she made a video called "My Top 5 Regrets as a YouTuber" in which she mentioned regretting having multiple channels, putting her younger siblings in videos (since they were too young to consent), getting involved in online drama, being rude to fans, taking things too personally, etc.

* OldShame: She did a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5ylKZaJcWk "dating rap"]] when she was 19 that she's not exactly proud of, and eventually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSpJaF2vXYc parodied it]] after reaching 1 million subscribers.

* CreatorBreakdown:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to4vOb08s8c Reportedly]] suffered severe disillusionment/burnout with her musical career after releasing the ''Perfect'' EP, not thinking that she could make any music that didn't all sound the same, and convincing herself that she was no good at music and only good at [=YouTube=]. In a subsequent turn of events, her manager dragged her to a Music/TwentyOnePilots concert that opened her eyes entirely and got her interested in music again.
** Suffered another [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WpRvt4BxUs hideous one]] in early 2018 when her channel growth completely stalled, which combined with drinking enough to trigger alcohol poisoning during the production of a video to cause extremely negative pent up emotions to all be let out at once.

* PromotedFanboy: In 2003 (when she was 12!), Emma was inspired to badger her dad into buying her an electric guitar after first hearing Music/{{Busted}} and dreamed about one day playing with her heroes. Her hopes appeared to be dashed when Busted broke up in 2005, but she continued to write, sing and play, eventually becoming famous on [=YouTube=]. In 2015, Busted reformed with their original lineup, and in April 2016, it was confirmed that Emma would be joining the band on their 2016 "Pigs Can Fly" tour. After 13 years, Emma's childhood dream came true.
* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Emma has confirmed that there will be no more "[[LetsPlay/NerdCubed Demma]]" videos, as the attention from fans both keen on incessant {{shipping}} and only coming to Emma's channel because they saw it as Dan's second channel "ruined" the focus of the videos in the first place. It eventually became enough to make Emma pull the plug on the public aspect of their friendship and keep it strictly offline, where it is alive and well.

** She also didn't play "The Promise" for a long time staring when she supported Music/{{Busted}}, due to feeling she'd improved with every new release but having fans still clamouring for a song she wrote in her late teens and didn't think was that special. She openly made fun of it by singing a line and saying "[[SarcasmMode how innovative]]" in her "Roast Yourself" rap, and for years mentioned her dislike for it along with the reasons why, every time the subject came up. She's since softened on it, due to talking to other artists with similar problems and realising she shouldn't hate the fact fans love one of her works.

* OldShame: "I'm Emma, 19, and I don't wear hats." Or in other terms, she did a "dating rap" when she was younger that she's not exactly proud of.
* PromotedFanboy: In 2003 (when she was twelve!), Emma was inspired to badger her dad into buying her an electric guitar after first hearing Music/{{Busted}} and dreamed about one day playing with her heroes. Her hopes appeared to be dashed when Busted broke up in 2005 but she continued to write, sing and play, eventually becoming a Website/YouTube celebrity. In 2015, the unthinkable happened - Busted reformed with their original lineup. In April 2016 it was confirmed that Emma would be joining Busted on their 2016 "Pigs Can Fly" tour - after thirteen years Emma's childhood dream has come true.
