00:37What is my girl doing?
00:38Wait, is this her workout routine?
00:40Where do I find it?
00:41I was trying to have a fun time.
00:42That's what I was doing.
00:43I don't have a workout routine.
00:44I do a Pilates every so often,
00:46but I focus on what I put in my body more than my workouts.
00:51I got a homeopathic doctor that took all my blood
00:55and like went through all of my levels of every hormone,
00:59and an ingredient in my soul and I eat for that.
01:03And I feel like that's why I look the way I do.
01:05I don't work out.
01:06But isn't this crazy?
01:07Also, I'm black, so it just come naturally.
01:11Sorry.

01:24Wait, that was drama.
01:25That was drama.
01:26That was drama.

01:46I try to find someone funnier than me every day,
01:48and many people exist.
01:49So, next, on the docket, Reddit.
01:55Who is Quinn Blackwell dating?
01:56See, the fact, I'm okay with being perceived
02:00anywhere else on the internet.
02:02Reddit, I'm like, oh, there's been forums
02:04that have been talking about me that I don't know about.
02:06Well, it makes me itch.
02:07Who is Quinn Blackwell dating?
02:08Nobody ever.
02:09I've been single.
02:11Since Vine.
02:12Is that her actual laugh,
02:14or was she fake laughing the whole time?
02:17I've never watched any of her content.
02:18No hate.
02:19I'm genuinely asking.
02:21No, it's my laugh.
02:22You know, people love it,
02:23or they're like, what was that?
02:25And I can't change it,
02:26because it's what makes me,
02:27it's the sound that comes out when I'm happy.
02:29I don't know what to say.
02:30But it's my actual laugh, and I love it.
02:37Before Olive started editing my videos,
02:39I edited my videos,
02:40and I feel like the vibe that I created
02:43and we've made together is just, like, cartoon.
02:46Watch a cartoon.
02:47That's how I edit my videos.
02:48That's how I make all my jokes.
02:49That's how I see comedy, is just cartoons.
02:52Like, boom!
02:53Like, right now, blow up the set.
02:54Like, that's how I, that's what happens in the cartoon.
02:57Cartoon editing.
02:58Next!
02:59This is me with Billie and Odessa,
03:01and it says, how does she know everybody?
03:03Internet.
03:04I know all my friends from the internet.
03:06I have not met a singular friend that I have in my life now,
03:09in reality.
03:10Let me think.
03:11Nope, all from the internet.
03:12And if I tell somebody over the age of 35 that,
03:14they're like,
03:15let's see what we got next.
03:16Wikipedia?
03:18I have a Wikipedia?
03:19Period!
03:20You don't know how crazy this all feels when you just do it from your phone and then GQ's like,
03:26you want to come and do an interview?
03:27Like, okay.
03:29And then I find out I have a Wikipedia.
03:30Okay.
03:32Woof!
03:34Oh!
03:36Okay.
03:37So I see y'all got jokes.
03:38Yes!
03:39This is my driver's license photo.
03:40I was wearing a wig that was attached to a hat.
03:44They was like,
03:45all right, ma'am, take off your hat.
03:46And I was like,
03:47my bundles is connected.
03:49But I still gagged it.
03:50At my septum at the time,
03:52it was a whole cute moment.
03:53They ain't made me take off my hair,
03:54but I am beautiful.
03:56I am woman.
03:57I am sexy.
03:58I am divine.
03:59So you didn't put this out there?
04:01Yeah, someone that was trying to sabotage everything that I've built.
04:04And it's okay, because you can't do it, bitch.
04:06Sorry, that was a cuss.
04:07You can't do it, hoe.
04:08YouTube information.
04:09Channels?
04:10Quillen Blackwell.
04:11Genre.
04:11Talk.
04:12I do.
04:13It's true.
04:14Genre.
04:15Talk.
04:15She's, yeah.
04:16What do you do for a job?
04:17Talk.
04:18What's your talent?
04:19Words, I guess.
04:20I don't know.
04:21My genre should be
04:24greatness.
04:25My genre is that girl.
04:26My genre is icon.
04:29Genre, biggest YouTuber in the world.
04:32Genre, MrBeast Northstar.
04:34Next.
04:35Her online presence first began to gain traction when she posted a video of herself falling while
04:40performing a cheerleading stunt, which received more than 5 million views in one day.
04:44My online presence actually first began on my YouTube channel that I had
04:48made when I was in the fourth grade.
04:50I had no friends, so my mom bought me a webcam and told me to talk to it.
04:56I don't know how good of an idea that was.
04:58It was a great one, because look at me now.
04:59But that was my first hint of an online presence.
05:04Blackwell has asthma.
05:05It's true.
05:06I actually have a specific type of asthma called cough variant asthma, so if I cough enough,
05:11I could die.
05:12But also, I might not have asthma because I used to just hate my surroundings in elementary school,
05:19because I was in an environment that I felt seen in, so I would just act sick all the time.
05:23So maybe I dreamt up asthma and I don't actually have it.
05:26Who knows?
05:27Quora.
05:28Who?
05:29How is Quinlan Blackwell, Quincydilla so flexible?
05:33I think genetics.
05:34I was also a competitive cheerleader growing up, and they were stretching me out every day.
05:40What do you think will happen in the new HBO pilot comedy series with Leighton Measer and
05:44Quinlan Blackwell?
05:45You're going to have to watch to find out.
05:47I'm so excited.
05:48I'm so excited.
05:49Y'all about to be on my acting bag.
05:51Y'all going to gag.
05:52When I'm on my stage accepting my reward, y'all going to gag.
05:55Like, girl, this is the funny clown from the internet.
05:58She got multiple sides.
05:59I told y'all the different people inside me.
06:01X.
06:02At mohawk underscore 944 commented, your digital footprint needs to be studied.
06:06I agree.
06:07I actually studied it myself for an entire YouTube video where I did an autobiography on myself,
06:12because I do have a really vast, random, and just like insane digital footprint that I know
06:18a lot of people are like, why, who, how, when?
06:22Why did making a pickle video in a car lead to you knowing Charli XCX and being a part of the Grammys?
06:32Another one is like the meme of me being like with Miss Juicy Baby that is like one of the biggest
06:37to ever do it, even though I was miserable in the picture.
06:41Next.
06:42Well, I was just talking about this.
06:45I wonder how Quinlan Blackwell feels about this turned into a meme.
06:49How is missing from this tweet, Burt Von Butte.
06:51In that moment, was I happy?
06:53No, but I feel like, girl, that impression that built you a career.
06:58Now I got a job.
06:59So I'm happy about that moment.
07:02Quinn, who's your dream collab with?
07:04Dream collab is crazy.
07:06Like, dream?
07:08Hmm.
07:09Right now my dream collab is Abby from Love on the Spectrum because I feel like we would
07:14key together.
07:15Like, that's the moment.
07:17She is the queen.
07:18Two Hollis.
07:20Two Hollis is another dream collab.
07:21I love his music right now.
07:22Maybe cartoon characters.
07:26Like, I would love to collab with SpongeBob.
07:28But I've already met SpongeBob.
07:30Like, I've already met Tom Kenny.
07:31I went into this Krusty Krab, Krabby Patty taste test.
07:34It already happened.
07:36The Lorax, because I have the tattoo, so I gotta bang it on my chest.
07:39Or I would want the Wuncelor too.
07:41Quinn, help please.
07:42How do I stop falling for guys with no job and have Bicost on their bio?
07:49Oh my god.
07:50Sister, these bums are running covert ops on all of us.
07:55And don't feel bad that they got you.
07:57They're incredible with the game that they run.
08:00You have to make a list of principles.
08:03A list of values.
08:05A list of the things that you have to need to come into my life.
08:08That's what I worked on with my therapist.
08:10Because I was just letting anyone in.
08:12And then I'd be like, why?
08:14Oh, why is my house blew up?
08:18Wait, why is everything gray?
08:20And it was them.
08:21They had the gray paintbrush and they were ruining it all.
08:24Does Quinn know that she's Quinlan Blackwell?
08:27I do.
08:28My parents spoke greatness into me since I was a kid.
08:31I've always thought I was special.
08:34YouTube, also known as my employer.
08:37I'm kidding.
08:38I love YouTube.
08:38It's the best place to ever exist.
08:40Here he come, here he come.
08:42Okay, so is Duke Dennis reacting to me and Pokimane's video at Hope?
08:46Duke, we are waiting for the ice skating date.
08:49Me and Duke was supposed to go on an ice skating date.
08:52And I didn't go on that because I had to work.
08:55And then months passed and I was like, hey Duke.
08:59I think we can run that back.
09:00I ain't heard nothing since.
09:01Can you ice skate or would you have like follow-up on?
09:05I would have probably faked so he would have picked me up and carried me to the nearest Cartier.
09:09From my YouTube video, Instagram rules are diabolical.
09:12LOL, you know what's diabolical?
09:14I can't stop texting my toxic ex at 2am.
09:17Quinn, I need a motivational speech.
09:19Want better, do more.
09:22How many years do we have in this life?
09:2480?
09:25All of my exes can't say that they've seen me since we broke up.
09:28They can barely say they knew me.
09:30And you should move like that because you are a goddess.
09:33Want better, do better, be better.
09:34Next!
09:35This is my nighttime routine from Call Me Savannah.
09:39Hey Quinn, do you have OCD?
09:43Yes, I do.
09:44I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 15.
09:48I don't have like clean, like I know people think obsessive compulsive disorder is like a cleaning thing.
09:53It's like thoughts.
09:56Like sometimes my thoughts will be so loud I'll have to be like, ah, out loud to make them stop.
10:00So yes, I do have an OCD type vibe to me.
10:03But I have coping mechanisms and they work real well.
10:07Like listening to good music and having my space be very peaceful.
10:12Because it's fucking crazy in here!
10:14I'm kidding.
10:14Instagram.
10:16I love Instagram.
10:17I feel like people are like, clown, clown, clown.
10:18Quinn Lynn's a clown.
10:19Oh, here this clown go.
10:21What's she going to do?
10:21Honk her red horn again?
10:23And then they open my Instagram and they're like, oh, Pennywise can serve.
10:27Charli XCX performance picture.
10:30Someone commented, when did Charli XCX get cool with Quinn?
10:33I've known Charli for years through adjacent friend groups.
10:37I was in her music video 360.
10:38She invited me out there and she was like, I love everything you're doing, babes.
10:41I mean, I can't do the accent, but I was like, you love everything I'm doing.
10:45You have given the way for me to do what I want to do.
10:49For freak bitches to go up.
10:51Sorry, I cussed.
10:52For weird girls to go up.
10:53Quinn, is it a red flag if he doesn't text me back but watches my stories?
10:58Yes.
11:00Yes.
11:01When I read this, it gave me the same feeling as one of my friends back with her ex that I hate.
11:05It's like, I don't even know if you want to hear the words that I want to stay right now,
11:08because you already know that something is amok.
11:10I have decided that I refuse to date someone until they literally sweep me off my feet.
11:15My level of peace and comfort that I can cultivate for myself is way better than caring about
11:21if somebody is going to text me back.
11:24Girl, block him.
11:27Okay, that's it for me.
11:28This is Quinn Blackwell and I'm signing off the internet.
11:33And we about to sign right back on in five minutes, five seconds, because we're addicted.
