PeaTea64
, also known as PurpleTriforce64, PuffyTrousers, or PootyTooty, is a YouTuber, artist, and musician who is best known for her Kirby and Mega Man (Classic) videos. While her videos are cheaply made "MS Paint slideshows", she makes up for it with clever writing that manages to be incredibly quotable. Her videos were usually made with the help of her good friend Coolgrr980, who left the channel sometime around 2011.
She joined YouTube in 2009 and was at the peak of her popularity in 2010. However, in 2012, she announced that, being swamped with real-life responsibilities and personal projects, she would not be uploading any more of her signature animations. She is still active on Twitter and Tumblr, however, where she still posts art and memes.
Tropes present in PeaTea’s videos in general
- Author Appeal: Kirby, Mega Man (Classic), The Legend of Zelda, and Nintendo in general.
- Also, Touhou Project, chiptune music, and mystery novels.
- Author Avatar: PeaTea usually represents herself as a brown-haired woman in a purple shirt.
- Better than a Bare Bulb: Most of her animations lampshade the heck out of the tropes present in the games they’re parodying.
- Color Motif: PeaTea associates herself with the color purple- most likely as a reference to her original username, PurpleTriforce64. Her Author Avatar is always seen wearing purple.
- Everybody Do the Endless Loop: How she animates characters dancing. A notable example would be Happy Kirbyversary, in which she animates a bunch of Kirby characters doing endlessly looping dances.
- Lazy Artist: So much so that she now refers to her animations as “MS Paint slideshows”.
- Those Two Guys: PT and CG.

- Ukefication: Discussed in regards to Mega Man’s portrayal in Hyadain’s Mega Man songs in “PT’s Interpretation of Rockman Hyadain”.
PT: Now don't get me wrong, I do not have anything against Hyadain. I love his music, quite honestly. His Rockman songs are very addicting and funny. But when I decided to play Megaman 2 again out of boredom, I realized something. Rock is competent. He defeated those Robot Masters quite easily. So when people draw pictures or write stories of Rockman getting... well, "taken advantage of" by the MM2 RMs, it doesn't really make sense to me.
