"There is no shame on simping for the right woman" _-Confucius_

For those of you stumbling on this all these years later, she's doing a lot better and recently announced that she's started walking unassisted for the first time in a long time.

Mouse: So let me explain Mouse fans: I’ve seen enough. I’m satisfied

>*sub walks in and slams 1000 dollars on table* >*Refuses to elaborate* >*Leaves*

Mouse: “can we raise $2k in 8 months?” Chat: “7 minutes, take it or leave it.”

Ironmouse : so uhhh- Gigachad : Here's 1k, no buts.

Ironmouse: okay this will take 243... Fans: seconds

"The goal is 250 d-" Chat: "Seconds?" "No, da-" Chat: "Seconds."

"I like to call my bed my work place." *Chat:* "Deep." *takes a fat stack of cash, slams it on desk, leaves*

Mouse: "I didn't want to cry today" Me, who had no prior knowledge of mouse and clicked this video on a whim: "Yeah...me neither"

Mouse: So i need $2000 for- The Entire chat: Understandable, have a nice day. **Donates $2000**

Mousey’s story is a good reminder that the internet wasn’t a complete mistake.

One thing I notice here is how different her voice is now. Her voice has changed dramatically now that shes gotten way healthier. Proud of her.

mousey: "i think we'll hit the $2000 in a few months" that one gigachad that donated half the goal: "this is.... *MADE IN HEAVEN* "

"Thank you for making me feel human" every single time I hear mousey say it. It just breaks me.

"So thank you for make me feel human" Step 1:Lie down on the floor Step 2:Try not to cry Step 3:Cry alot

I like to imagine that the gigachad that donated a thousand was just typing something like 10$ but, when Mouse clarified what the workplace is, just slammed two more zeros right there immediately.

If you're ever feeling worthless, remember that there was a 243 day timer set on this.

The guy who donated 1000 dollars you have my biggest respect ever

Keep in mind that she referred to her _BED_ as her "Workspace." Mouse didn't just need a new place to stream. _She needed a new bed,_ because she basically lives in it. God, I love this girl. If you've never heard her sing, you owe it to yourself at least once in your life. "When I Look At You" is lifechanging when you realize who it's coming from. "I really want to sit in chairs." My god.

Knowing where she was just 9 months ago, compared to where she is now with VShojo..... seeing her birthday stream recently where she's crying out of sheer happiness of getting to hang out with her friends in a virtual amusement park....... it brings warmth to my heart. :')

Donation goal schedule: get 100% in under a year Chat: best i can do is almost 120% in under 10 minutes

Ironmouse: I need 2000$ for a better place to live in becau- Everybody in the chat: " So anyway I started donating"

"Thank you for helping me feel normal" ripped my heart from my chest, just for it be put back in when I realized that the 243 day goal was reached in under 10 minutes by a group of incredible people supporting another incredible person. I need a tiny break, too. Hope you get your exosuit, Mousey.

Mousey: *wished to talk about the reason why she needs the money* Fans: *donates money in less than an hour* *Y E E T*

mousey: "i think we'll hit the $2000 in a few months" that one gigachad that donated half the goal: " my time has come"

I watched this video about 2 years ago and holy shit look how far she has come. - She’s one of the biggest female streamers on twitch - Her subathon topped the charts - She’s already getting into physical therapy - She’s a lot more open about herself and her personal stuffs - She’s gained several companions and several bonds that don’t seem like they’d be broken - Not sure if I’m tripping but her voice is slowly getting back to normal now(cuz her high-pitched voice may be a side-effect of not being ABLE to talk) She’s come so damn far and it’s genuinely inspiring and heartwarming to see

“I wish I could get an exo suit, then I could go outside” My entire graduating class of engineering students: This is a worthy cause! No joke, we are working on it, hang in there, COVID has slowed us down but we shall do it!

I just realized that right below the donation bar it says “243 days to go.” She expected that it’d take months to get to that goal, and it happened in less than 10 minutes.

Mouse: “ I use a lot of pillows to prop myself up- Wait....” The person who donated 1K: “Buy some more...”

This is not "being a simp". This is good people knowing that a disabled girl needs help, and running to gave that to her. Not wasting time, not discussing it. Someone is in real need just to make the hell their life is a bit more bearable, and human beings answering that call instantly. They will never meet her. They will never see what their charity got. And they do not care. They just want to help someone smile. Folks. That's not being a simp. That is being the best part of being human. Even those with only 5$ donations. Rejoice. People can be awesome.

Her name Ironmouse makes so much sense.. She's one tough little nugget..

6:09 "I wish I could get and exo suit, then I can go outside" Right there, this is where I finally broke. God I wish she gets better

I love watching this clip, especially seeing as how far she has come physically and financially and that she was now able to buy off her parents' house for Christmas. It's great to see people like this getting what they deserve.

So awesome coming back to see this knowing that today she’s now able to walk on a treadmill with the goal of not needing a wheelchair by the time Connor comes to visit. She’s made so much progress. ❤

Everyone was just like "There's a bar! GET EM, BOYS!"

Anyone with a physical disability/health issues knows how mousy feels, it's hard to feel normal when you can't do what others can, or needed special assistance. Even my disability (I'm an albino) which doesn't limit me nearly as much as hers does used to make me feel very embarrassed, and ostracized from the 'normal' people around me to go through life feeling that way, and to finally have a supportive fanbase like she does must be the most precious achievement of her life, and I'm truly happy for her.

After seeing this again now in 2022 and her voice sounds so much more profound. I like to think that means she is much better then she was this clip was taken.

Mousey: This will take 243 days Everyone in the chat: “You wanna see some real speed?”

I would commit war crimes.... if it means this little princess gets to go outside and be happy qwq

The gasp when she realized that someone donated 1k, 3 minutes into something she expected to take months was heart breaking but so fucking wholesome. There are some good people out there. Side note that part where she says she wished she could have an exosuit because then she could go outside. Tore my heart to shreds because you could tell even though she was joking... it was still something that she very clearly actually really wanted.

"We'll get this done in a few months." Gigachad: "who decided that"

And she thought it would take 243 days now I'm even more sad :( she didn't expect them to make it that far so fast awwww

After researching why she's bed ridden / isolated just makes the donations just that much more amazing, that their helping Iron mouse out, I saw this one comment that represents her: *Frail as a mouse, but as strong as iron*

Never give the internet a goal, they take it as a challenge and will overachieve if possible.

Cut to 2023, she is now Content Creator of the Year in Game Awards. And even having her in Rolling Stones magazine. Tungsten Rat has gone a long way.

Mouse: “243 days, timer is set!” Malaclypse23, after donating: “Days? I thought you said seconds.”

Ironmouse: expects to achieve the goal in 243 days Fanbase: SEVEN MINUTES HAVE PASSED

I was glad to be a part of this. Being able to support mouse in her early days before she got massive was an honor and I was glad to have such a positive impact on the life of someone deserving. My donation(s), however, isn't directly highlighted in this video and I prefer it that way.

My Glasses got wet. Stupid rain got into my room.

I love the part at 5:07 when the guy in chat came back from using the bathroom and is so confused because the goal bar is almost full. But all in all this whole thing is super sweet

Yeah, compared to this, now Mouse has come a long way. She literally bought her own house, supports her family and covers her expenses herself. Literally UNO reverse card. And she's a lot comfortable on stream. Voice is a lot deeper and feels more natural. Streams are at different levels of quality.

Came back to watch this, it's crazy how far we've come Today she broke the most twitch subs on the 16th day of her subathon, she truly deserves all the success and love she gets.

“Give it a minute.” “Give what a minute?” “Watch that donation goal bar.”

243 days to go: Weebs: 10 minutes, take it or leave it.

Damn. As someone who's going blind and deaf, a lot of what Ironmouse has to say hits deep. It's hard to talk about openly and a lot of days you feel like less than other people. Discovering her content and journey has been an emotional roller coaster

I didnt know about Mousey until a couple weeks ago and then I saw this. I thought she was just making a goal you always see in streams. After seeing shiesters like DarkSydePhil and others like him scamming their viewers, it makes you skeptical. Then you hear her say, "I have been bed ridden for many years." It hit so unexpectedly. Instantaneous waterworks and guilt not just from being skeptical at the start, but also not being there to donate when she streamed this lol.

Fans: I DON'T CARE WHAT IT COSTS, MAKE THIS WOMAN WELL AGAIN!

"I wish i could get an exo suit, then i could go outside" Adeptus mechanicus: "how about some minor upgrades?"

It feels interesting honestly, coming back to this video and her now winning things like Content Creator of the Year from TGA.

Honestly I only watch a few clips of v-tubers but every now and then you'll hear iron mouse explaining to her audience that she needs to untangle all the medical wires and cables that wraps around her legs and laughs like it is the most hilarious thing ever yet I just tear up that such a seemingly happy person in her v-tuber persona is a real person so easily laughing off a side effect of her debilitating disease.

6:46 is the most brutal tearjerker moment.

There is a special place in heaven for *Malaclypse* , Ropewatch, Gib_insagib, *Eddiero* , Nrubner, *Archive543* , nightfox, and more.

When you realize the moments near the end where her model jumps to neutral position for a few seconds before re-engaging facial tracking is probably her wiping the tears from her eyes

Mouse: "It'll take about 243 more da-" Chat: "You mean no more days? I think you mean no more." *Dunks $2000 casually* It's shit like this that restores my faith in the human race. Especially that gigachad who made half the freaking goal upfront

2:49 she's so focused on what she's saying it took her until 3:11 to realize the bar went HALFWAY COMPLETE

Mouse explaining why she wants a better work place: Me who is already looking for my credit card: huh?

man old ironmouse hits different compared to today's ironmouse

I like coming back to this video from time to time just to remind me there is some really good, selfless humans out there

6:36-6:49 YO WTF DID WE DO TO DESERVE SUCH A KIND HEARTED HUMAN IN A WORLD FULL OF CHAOS...SHE NEEDS HER OWN SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION.

Ironmouse: I need a new workspa- everyone: Shut up and take my money!

She came a long way, last time I checked on her she produced 120k for charity, Mousey is really world famous now.

God damn that line. “Thanks for letting me feel human...” That makes me cry. Not only because her fanbases’s generousness but also because of how genuine and overwhelmed Mousey must be feeling. For someone as vulnerable as her - with her autoimmune disease and relative lack of outside interaction - it must be really hard to feel like people actually care about you. But to see just how much her fan base cares about her and well-being and wants to help her in any way they can, despite none of them ever actually meeting her, is such a powerful thing to see.

I will quote someone I heard ages ago, her name "Ironmouse" is that her will is as strong as Iron yet she is as fragile as a mouse. She is a very strong individual and I wish her none but the best in her future.

243 Days? Nah man,give us 7 minutes and 25 seconds.

6:51 This line… just breaks me

Back to this video after 2 years and man how far mousey have progressed since then. Still cried at "Thank you for making me feel human"

No one: That one guy who donated 1k: *_one second has passed_* EDIT: A year's passed and now that this showed up again.......I think one of my life goals will be to create a cyborg body part that acts like how a regular body part does and fluidly too after I graduate college (currently at Grade IX) EDIT 2: Just graduated from my 3rd year a couple months ago and boutta enter my 4th year EDIT 3: Shit happened and I am now headed for the kitchen (im going to take the cookery course for my senior high)

Literally has to speed talk to try and explain the situation before the dono goal is done, still failed...

it's really funny coming back to an old clip of a streamer years later and you get to see how they became more comfortable being themselves

Ironmouse: I would like to raise 2000 dollars in 253 days so I can improve my workspace it would help me a lot Chat: the best I can do is 9 minutes

“You guys helped me feel...normal” “Thank you for making me feel human” I don’t know who this person is, or why they’re on my recommended. But Damn, this hits hard. No one should ever need to say this, for there is nothing wrong with what / who you are or will be. :)

This further proves a point that I love to see. If you challenge the internet, you will almost always lose, especially in something like this. Get a large community and give them a donation goal for a cause, and watch it be SHATTERED, especially when reaching that goal could lead to more content and maybe even "better" content.

It’s enough to make a grown man cry.... and that’s okay.

Yep... still rip my soul hear the "Thanks for making me feel human". I was there with her first model... Im kinda proud of how far is she now.

I’ve been studying in the field of Biology to go into physical therapy and/or bio mechanical medical engineering. This hurts my soul to see people who feel so disconnected from the world because of a uncontrollable condition. This is the reason I wanted to go into my current field of studies. No one should suffer from dis-functionality everyone should be given the chance to be normal. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Ironmouse. I just thought she was another normal girl VTuber. Now I realize this is how she connects with the world. I have grown respect for both Mouse and CORPSE faster than any other KZfaqr for the conditions they battle constantly. I’ll find myself watching more of Mouse in the future, she deserves a better life.

this is the most precious shit... Her fans are wonderful people

Mannnnnn, I dont watch or dig into the whole Vtuber thing.... But this girl, she deserves all the love. Go her.

"you guys help me feel so normal, so thank you for helping me feel human, I love you guys so much." My heart: *Melts immediately*

Omg dude I don’t watch vtubers but Jesus Christ my heart bro. This has me in tears of joy not sadness or pity, we actually might have a little hope with humans like these. I’m so happy for her

Maybe you don't know it yet, maybe Ironmouse herself doesn't know it yet, but... she's a super star. A real, genuine legend-in-the-making. Mark my words.

Love the unified camaraderie in Mousey's chat. All I see are good vibes and positivity towards her and the fact they raised over $2,000, not counting bit donations, in less than 10 minutes is astonishing. You can call her chat whatever you want but in opinion these people are absolute legends in getting her the new bed which is her workspace. Praises and complete respect to the chat and faith in humanity restored.

This... this is one of the strongest reasons why Vtubing should be fully supported as a Profession and not looked down upon. These people who bring us hours of endless content, laughs, and the occasional tear, work so hard to bring out the best of themselves in this form of entertainment. Mousey is just ONE example of why being a Vtuber can be an excellent choice in both career and socializing. How many other Vtubers are there that are struggling physically right now and cannot do much, if anything, for themselves, that we are completely unaware of? How many of them had nowhere to turn when it came to finding a job or being able to make money and support themselves because they could not physically, emotionally, or mentally perform the roles that everyday jobs demand? Nearly every line of work these days requires that the individual being mobile in some form. Even work-at-home jobs such as Transcription or IT Support companies often require that you have a set amount of space to perform the tasks that they require of you, based on their own company standards. If you don't meet their requirements, then you don't get the job. Transcription may not be the best example for that, but again, we don't know the individual's situation or their needs, Transcribing may be more than what they could accomplish. How about individuals who suffer from severe or crippling social anxiety or trauma that can hardly cope with being in the same room with more than two other people, being pushed into jobs that demand they face hundreds of people a day and they end up going home stressed as hell and ready to fall apart? Many people would tell them to "Grow up" or "Get Used to it." But that's just not how it works. Yes, some people can bulldoze their way through their fear and anxiety, but not everyone is that strong, and many more struggle to find work that pays enough for them to get by on, much less actually live their lives. The Vtubers we know and love have had to make sacrifices of their own to get to the point that they are at now so that they COULD have a career and be able to live their lives, not just survive on what they had. A 3D Vtuber Model and rigging are expensive, a 2D Model and rigging are even more so. How many meals do you think Mousey had to skip out on to be able to save up for her model? How many times did she push back her medications, trying to save for days where she might need them most and sacrificing her own health, to be able to put back for this? She, like many others that we may not know about, has invested all that she is and all that she has into this, and that is why we should not treat her or the other Vtubers any different than how we treat those who work in the entertainment industry. We need to support them and show them that they are not alone and that they are loved and appreciated for all that they do. They are not Commodities, they are not Things to be treated as a passing fancy, they are HUMAN BEINGS. Real people, who work their hardest on what they do and with what means that they have available to them. I apologize for the literal wall of text, but I feel really strongly about this. Support your favorite Vtubers guys, it's the least we can do.... Edit: also, yes, I realize I'm posting the months after this video was posted and everything, but I'm still diving down the Vtuber Rabbit Hole and MAN this thing is deep! xD

6:03 Mousey says she wants a gundam exo-suit .. so she could go outside .... the feels !!

Now this is what the internet was made for

This day I still love it when she just in shock when she realized someone donate $1000 to her

Man, it's amazing to see how far she's come. She's currently the #1 most subbed to twitch streamer for current subs, and #3 overall, and still climbing. I'm so proud of our favorite little gremlin

Mousey’s dono bar: “243 days to go” Chat: *WE ARE...SPEED!!*

Holy man. I was not expecting *that.* I know of IronMouse and see her here and there, but knew almost nothing about her. But holy crap this was an emotional ride. Had no idea about her situation, and that just broke my heart. “I used to feel so ashamed of my body not working right.” “I want to be able to sit up easier and go outside.” “Thank you for making me feel human.” As someone who’s not usually too emotional, that absolutely broke me. Just, right to my soul. Bless her heart. This is one of those smiles we need to protect.

While not bedridden as Mousey is, I am epileptic and have chronic mid-lower back pain that severely inhibits my ability to function as most would. And those are are just the two worst of multiple issues. And I feel so bad for her uet at the same time so happy that being a vtuber has opened up so many doors for her that she otherwise never would have had. I thank God, when it enters my mind, that she is now able to financially support not only herself but her parents and has soany wonderful friends, like Connor, who goes above and beyond to make sure she gets to see and enjoy things she otherwise would have no access to. It is a staunch prayer of mine that she is somehow, some way able to go to some of the places she wants to go some day. Peace be to you.
