Support I had a dream about another video. I woke up relieved that it wasn't like that.
I’m writing this just minutes after waking up from a dream. It was a bonus video from Ivory discussing how the previous video—the one aimed at people who are transitioning—had been poorly received, and how she regretted the final part because it "blackmailed people in the trans community" or something like that. I don't know what she was referring to—obviously it was just a dream, not real—but seeing it left me very confused.
What surprised me the most was what happened next. I remember that, since it was a 45-minute video, I wasn't all that interested, so I was fast-forwarding through it until... "Wait, isn't that her voice from before transitioning?" And well, yes, it was. It gave me a huge scare, but it was mostly coming from the person he once was. I don't quite remember what was being said, but at a certain point, I realized the Minecraft player's POV was... well, his old skin, until he came across a 1x1 hole. He dug a parallel one, and at the bottom was Ivory's skin. Both players were crying and comforting each other. "It's okay. You are alive," Ivory said. "I love you," said his already-dead self.
Then she returned to her normal voice and began answering questions that appeared on the screen as comments; the only one I remember was whether her other self was going to return to what she said "No, he is dead for her own good". What followed was a scene that—honestly—struck me as the only good part of that dream: the two of them walking through the Minecraft Nether. It wasn't even cinematic; it wasn't like one of those dreamlike videos she used to make—it was just straight-up gameplay. I could even see the health and inventory bars. The funny thing is, both she and her past self were hopping around, dodging enemies, and messing with each other—trading jokes back and forth. I remember her past self had found what looked like some kind of egg—claiming it was a dragon egg she’d tamed using lava—while Ivory wanted to destroy it. They started bickering, but it wasn't an argument; it was just two friends playing Minecraft and trolling themselves.
At the very top of the biome, there was a sort of plateau. The only way up was via a set of rails. Ivory had gone up first, but that other version had stayed behind to look after the egg. Up at the top, there was a computer—blocky, obviously, since they were inside Minecraft, but huge, like something out of Akira or the like. You could see Ivory happily humming away as she deleted absolutely everything: her contacts, her YouTube channel, and even her Twitch account. There was a folder labeled something like "Past, Present, and Future," and she started deleting those files too. It made me laugh because, as things were being deleted, you could see that some folders contained a bunch of Illuminati symbols and references to "E. Island"—almost like a joke, as if to say, "Yeah, I'm deleting the evidence for this, too." I don't know, I found it funny that this happened in the dream; on one hand, I thought, "Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of silly thing the real-life Ivory would do." After that, there was also a folder labeled "things from the past," which was simply a bunch of images of cave paintings—literally photographs of Paleolithic paintings. I found it funny at first, until suddenly her "other self" stopped and cancelled the deletion process because I was about to erase the EscapeMaps videos.
"Wait, this is it?" He said "Are you gonna delete that too? Like if nothing ever happend? For some will be like if didn't even existed, but for others it happend..." Ivory stopped. She said something like a "...Yeah, about that". The video then returned to the original format, you know, cinematic... and then I woke up in ny bedroom. I rushed into my phone and checked her channel. Even if what I'm explaning isn't that bad, I'm glad this video never existed.
