Lets Play / Yamimash

Aaron Ash, better known under his YouTube name Yamimash or Yami, is a British gamer who does Let's Play videos on YouTube. His channel predominately features playthroughs of Survival Horror games, such as Slender, Penumbra, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, though his channel does feature non-horror games, such as Pokémon, Super Meat Boy, Minecraft and Garry's Mod. He is good friends with various big let’s players, such as Markiplier and Mangaminx. Yamimash is known to be one of the more laid back and friendly Lets Players, a big pokemon fan and is often easily frightened.

Yamimash has currently reached over one million subscribers.

This gamer provides examples of:

• Adorkable
• HITCHED: Early 2016 his girlfriend Jess posted a youtube video about their engagement
• Ambiguously Bi: Yami has a girlfriend, but some of his interactions with his male friends certainly borderline on Ho Yay. That could be intentional, given the fans get a kick out of it.
• The Atoner: He does admit that it was stupid for him to even flirt with someone when he's already got a girlfriend and is very apologetic about that part.
• Butt Monkey: Markiplier, Minx, and Captain Sparklez often tease him in crossover videos, though Yamimash can take it and often does so in turn.
• Badass Beard: Sometimes sports a rugged one.
• Break the Cutie: Sometimes the video games he plays leave him shaken and frightened afterwards.
  • Being almost destroyed by the internet due to people accusing him of being a pedophile, despite the fact that the most Aaron did was flirt. He did a video with him and his girlfriend explaining the situation, and admitted he screwed up.
• Cowardly Lion: He's easily scared out of his wits by most of the horror games he plays, but he'll keep pressing on.
• Determinator: Very much so.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu??: He plays a lot of Slender games and calls himself the greatest Slender playing for beating quite a lot of them...
  • Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: ...but even so, he ends up dying a lot or gets the piss scared out of him.
• Disappeared Dad: Yami's admitted that his father left him and his mom when he was eight-years-old.
• Food as Bribe: Gives his cat Bubby treats to induce her to hunt spiders.
• Gay Bravado: With Markiplier, Wade, Bob, Entoan, Dlive, Ohmwrecker...
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: Yami and Markiplier have this sort of relationship. They were good friends before either of them were really big in subscribers, they were really excited to finally have met each other live after years of contact via the internet, and Ho Yay tendencies aside, they do appear genuinely close and supportive of one and other.
• I Am Very British: Invoked. Often when he's making jokes, or having jokes at his expense and playing along.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Can handle just about anything anyone throws at him.
• Jump Scare: Whenever he plays a horror game, he's often subjected to this. But the best example would have to be the end of this video.
• Kind Hearted Cat Lover: He and his girlfriend cat recently adopted one. He's also trained his other cat Bubby to hunt spiders in his bathroom.
• Lovable Coward: His terrified reactions to horror games are why he's so often watched.
• Lovable Traitor: He's very affable and friendly when he's the traitor in TTT, but that's usually to throw off suspicion. Well, with the exception of Markiplier. They two of them love to ham it up for the fans.
• Momma's Boy: A positive kind. Yami and his mother seem to have a very close relationships, that she even plays videogames with him!
• Screams Like a Little Girl
• Sickeningly Sweethearts: Averted with him and Jess. More often they'll throw insults and try to screw each other over. All in good fun, of course. It's quite clear they love each other.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Whenever he freaks out, he'll let out a string of curses.
• Spot of Tea: Almost always has a cup of tea when he's playing games — even with games when he shouldn't be.
• Temporary Bulk Change: In his recent videos, he has gained some weight, which is especially obvious in his cheeks.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Him and Markiplier.
• Why Did It Have to Be Spiders?: He is absolutely terrified by spiders. Best exemplified by this video of Yami versus a spider in his bathroom. The spider technically wins.
