got a message about hippie's pill popping and I looked up some stuff, but I think I mixed two memories, hippie once live tweeted that he had a shooter in his apartment complex (it ended up being a false alarm) so at the same time a bunch of people went on PP station, which was an offshoot server of hippie, and played an event round where one guy was the shooter looking for admiral hippie. a guy did recreate the suicide attempt as well but it was a single screenshot thats now a dead link (rip)
I did find this though, it looks like hippie didn't delete his channel randomly, and instead deleted it because of a guy called spicychickengod?
I can probably help clarify the record on Admiralhippie as I was around and knew him decently well between 2014 and 2017. There's a lot to condense so pardon me if I'm messy here.
Admiralhippie was part Native American and his parents abused the shit out of him, if I remember correctly he lived on his own, was set up with his own place to live, and never had to worry about money thanks to a fat check from govt welfare. He complained routinely about how the entirety of his family were fuck-ups. It's not surprising considering all of that, that he was a lonely anti-social nerd the entirety of the time I knew him, which isn't exactly atypical for the average guy who gets into SS13 in their early teens. He was part Native American and his parents abused the shit out of him, so if I remember correctly he lived on his own, was set up with his own place to live (or with his Mother I can't remember exactly) and never had to worry about money thanks to a fat check from govt welfare. He made cool videos, lobby images, and music but had huge self-esteem and motivation issues and would spend hours talking to people on Skype/Slack/Discord asking for advice and help.
Hippiestation itself came into existence from two catalysts: the first being that there were no real lowrp servers at the time and Admiralhippie wanted a place he could fuck around in and make videos without being banned; and the second was the death of Facepunch Station. In the dying days of that server, Admiralhippie became friends with the Host, a fellow called Foos/Foosili (xitter guntranny as of right now, but back then he was just a gay dude), and got made an admin. When Admiralhippie wanted to set up Hippiestation, Foos offered to handle all the administration management and Hippie could just enjoy his role as Host.
Admiralhippie hung out with Foos a lot privately, and they chatted and played games together constantly. I think they might've also attended conventions together, but I'm not certain about that. Admiralhippie was a pretty clingy person when it came to your time, and tension developed personally between them and also administratively as Foos got annoyed that Hippie would log in to shitpost and press every single button possible. The tension between the two of them as their relationship soured is what led to the Atlas Station/Hippie Station server split later on, and then the Adminati drama later. I don't know the full breadth of all their time together, but the outcome was Hippie coming out as gay and Foos trying to split the server in half. He did have a drug habit of weed and pills.
He divorced himself from Hippiestation shortly after the Trump election and I believe it was mostly due to him feeling a lack of control over the server, and due to the reputation we developed on Reddit as the evil TND racist server courtesy of the alt-right popularity and dialogue in the OOC chat at the time. The server kept the name though to his chagrin. He had a following in the Lisa game discords I think as he mainly made music for them before having a meltdown I learned about later. He did delete his account, and a random guy did create an account to troll him but that screenshot you've found is almost definitely him. Akari was an old friend of his that he brought into the server as an admin ages ago and was bullied out within a few months, and he hates Foos so it all makes sense for me. Moral of this whole story is having an account on Facepunch makes you a high risk for the autistic faggot to tranny pipeline. He was set up for failure with his personal situation, but certainly didn't do himself any favours. Hopefully the tranny thing is just a fad and he doesn't seriously commit to it, but who knows what can happen to someone when they're in those types of crowds.
