died at "full eye contact" and "just washing my areas Ma'm!"

When I was a kid I had a secret imaginary friend named Susan. One day I told my older sister about my secret friend and how similar we were. She said we should share her. This quickly turned into a fight and she told me that Susan didn’t like me anymore. I was devastated. My sister literally stole my imaginary friend lol.

"wow thanks,, my, uh, bed is so smooth(?)" "You are WELCOME, mum!" i loved being so proud of strange little things like that as a kid

she protecc she attacc but most importantly the high bun is bacc

wAs this cHild dOiN aM jus wAshiN mA arEas m’Am

*i'm just washing my area MA'M*

Now I know about the secret words of ‘arms unfolding’ I can’t un-hear it 😂

when i was little i used to hide my mom's spoons and she'd keep buying more and one day she found all the hidden spoons and we ended up with like 50 spoons

as a kid my sister convinced me I was going to turn into a mermaid and so, like in h2o, I wouldn’t let myself touch water in public and if I did I would just RUN

aw the beginning throwback to the eyebrow vid

I looked at the title and was like Oh the facts are little But then I realized These were little Dodie, kid, facts

OMG IM CRYING LAUGING FROM THAT FIRST STORY ABOUT SHOWERING

You're a precious gem aren't you?♥️💛

"I'd like to play alone on the playground... or i just had no friends. Either one."

Love knowing that when she says “self defense” and “attack” it is because she’s singing Arms Unfolding

you are literally the cutest human bean everrrr. ilysm

Woman: “What’s this child doing?” Dodie: “I’m just washing my areas MANN” 😂😂😂 I freaking love dodie!!

since she didn't say it,, I guess I will like it if you liked it if you'd like

I didn’t have any imaginary friends, I had an imaginary enemy. His name was Mr. Mister and he was super evil and I’d always invent these little challenges for us to do (for example, lining up all the shampoo bottles and knocking them all down with one push like dominoes). He always thought he was super smart but I always beat him and I had this imaginary classroom where all the challenges happened and after every challenge I would get a trophy and we each had a trophy room but mine got so full that we had to start using his trophy room for my trophies

human is gonna kill me and that's the tea

The bun is here and it is thriving

i remember being like five or six thinking that i had come up with the tune to "...baby one more time" by britney spears and getting upset when i heard it on the radio cause i thought they stole my idea. lolol also in 1st grade the principal at my school asked us what could be improved about the school and i said to replace all the walkways with swimming pools so we could just swim to class and he just laughed and said "wow, great idea!" looking back his reaction makes me giggle cause as an adult you're like "lol kids" but as a kid i was like "omG he thought it was a GREAT IDEA!!!"

When I was a kid, my mum would always take a piece of whatever snack I was having and say she was testing it to make sure it was “safe”. So one day, lil me finally got invited to another kid’s birthday party, and they handed me a slice of cake. I then walked up to my mother, in front of all the other parents, and said “Mum, make sure it’s not poisoned!”... Understandably, I didn’t get invited to many more 😅

The harmonies with yourself are just gr8

*whispers* you should cover rain to follow the 2009v2019 theme

Watching this after she released Arms Unfolding and I nearly screamed when she went “I guess it was sElF dEfEnCe”

I forget how pleasant it is to listen to your voice. I was a friendless kid--I wasn't lonely, yet--but I did spend a ton of time fantasizing about how I'd fit into the plot and character arcs of my favorite TV shows and video games. Reader, I love you. Have a great day :-)

When I was younger I often saw my mum smack my dad’s butt or the other way around and they told me that it was just a form of a joke. Then, when I was making new friends at a new school I decided that I’d smack their bottom and to make a long story short that did not end well. Thanks mum and dad!

When I was a child (kinda also now) . I used to pretend I was famous and answer interview questions about my new movie or album lol anyone else ...

i could literally just listen to dodie talk like this for HOURS

When I was younger sometimes my gran would look after me and my older brother for a couple hours. Whenever we went to her house, for lunch we loved to have those spaghetti noodles for kids? They're by the same brand that do the alphabeti spaghetti. Anyway, me and my brother would always pretend to be baby birds slurping up worms that our parent birds fed to us. We wouldn't use the spoon, and we'd make chirping noises and everything.

on friday i can add "she" to my crying playlist and i'm very excited about it

so i wasn’t the brightest child and as a kid i liked to run around with a pillowcase on my head, i’m not sure why but it was my favorite thing. this ultimately ended up in me tripping (because i couldn’t see) and i hit my face on the corner of the radiator in my sisters room. now i have a nice scar and an uneven lip to remind me😂

I’m listening for the words that are sung

omg i used to pretend i was the only magical one in my class too!!! except i lived in a big glass ball at the back on the class not a tent lol and there would always be an earthquake and the yard would split in half and id have to save everyone with my powers and then id faint and they’d carry me back to my glass ball home

there was this Disney movie called bednobs and broomsticks but I couldn’t say that so I called it dob dobs and and we saw the actress in said movie and 4 year old Bella ran up to her and screamed at her DOB DOBS and my mum looked at her in pure embarrassment and that is my first memory lol

Can we have big dodie facts 😩😩👏🏼

"A little" @2:11

one time my older sister was destroying an ant pile with a large branch and I was behind her and she smacked me in the eye with an ant covered branch.

wOAH the little harmonies at the beginning were such a good surprise

when i was little, dogs would walk by our house and i’d run to the window, pounding my fists on the glass screaming “DOGDOGDOGDOGDOG” like a demon

this is about my cousin rather than me, but when we were young she used to be down right TERRIFIED of the moon !! we would come out of our grandmas during night and she would have to run back in the house and grab a blanket to drape over her so she couldn’t see the moon and the moon couldn’t see her

i'm just washing my areas ma'am

Are messy buns replacing Dodie yellow as your new trademark??

I love how it feels like dodie is just sitting with us, telling these stories :) the way she tells stories is really captivating and charming

When I was pretty little, I remember lying in bed, being very concerned as I sat and thought about the fact that the planet rotates. I was positive that in the middle of the night everything in my room would end up on the ceiling, including me, smashed by my bed, and all my possessions would be broken. Of course, that’s not how things work but it was a big concern for me at the time 😅

0:15 I hear ya singing 😆 anyone else just watched her video about her new song arms unfolded

one time my brother threw a frisbee at me when i wasn't ready and i had a black eye for a while lmaoo

Making a Build-A-Bear is literally the most magical process ever!

When I was little (I grew up in Brazil, and down south it can actually snow, but the rest of the country doesn’t get snow at all and since I’m from Rio, it was honestly always hot.) I was obsessed with snow and with the US and stuff, so I got into the bathroom, opened the baby powder (I think that’s the name?) bottle and threw the powder everywhere, trying to cover everything in white. I lied down and tried to make a snow angel (and failed) and made my very curly and very dark hair go gray from the amount of powder that I rubbed in there. When my mom walked in the bathroom (I was always a very quiet kid so nobody suspected anything) she couldn’t even say anything. She asked me what was that and I just replied “it’s snow” in a soft voice because I didn’t think she’d be mad at all lol

0:14 Sneaky dodie!!!!

THAT BUN IS ICONIC

IM SO EXCITED FOR HUMAN

1:05 I like how dodie is starting to laugh here because she realizes what she’s about to say

I would take showers in my mom's bathroom because she had glass doors. I would pretend I was cinderella and "clean" the shower doors with my wash cloth and make up songs and everything. Our water bill must've been ridiculous.

When I was a little kid I would stick my hands out of the car window every time we drove by a puddle because I wanted to catch a bird (I think I did this because I saw the barbie rapunzel movie and she put her hand in a painting and she brought out a bird so somehow I associated paintings with puddles)

Me and my best friend used to play a game when we were in the playground and it started raining, we would pretend that if we got touched by the water we would turn into mermaids so whenever it rained we had to run below trees so we didn’t get wet. It was the most fun game ever!

“Self defense” Flash to the future 😉

I got *unnecessarily* excited when I heard the “attack” from Arms Unfolding XD

SO EXCITED FOR YOUR EP! Who’s with me?!

That little tune is literally my favourite bit of the eyebrows video

when i was young, i was a very weird child and always got into things. so, one day after school my mother told me to go upstairs and clean my room. i went upstairs into my room and quickly got distracted. i had makeup in my room, so instead of cleaning my room i put lipgloss all over my face. didn't miss one spot. i heard my mother call me, she obviously knew something was going on. i walked downstairs, put my diva face on ( i thought i looked fabulous. ) and walked up to my mom. she busted out laughing and asked me what happened. i told her the story while she went to get a wipe to clean my face. she came back into the room, sat down and started cleaning my face. after a while, she looks at me, giggles, then says that she can't get it off and i had to go to school like that. what a fun time.

when my siblings and i were little we would put our feet and legs in a pillowcase and sit on the pillow within the case and sled down the stairs in our house. sometimes we would forego the pillow and slide down like a penguin. the craziest was when we would go headfirst but laying on our backs. pre-technology childhoods were w i l d

When i was little (like reeeaally young) i thought the real world used to be in black and white because all the old films/videos from like 100 years ago were black in white.. was i the only one who thought that? 😂

When I was a kid I was burning one of those tiny tea leaf candles in my bedroom. Apparently no one had told me that you can’t put out candles with water 🙄 (how would I know) and so I poured some water from my drink bottle onto the candle and the fire jumped onto the vase of flowers sitting next to it 😂 I was SO confused and freaking out like what the heck do I do and why did this happen?! The flame luckily ended up going out on it’s own. Safe to say I never forgot you can’t use water to put out many fires again...

When I was little I used to call my soother/pacifier my ‘dodie’.

When I was a little kid around four or five, I took my dad’s tools and threw them out in the field with my friends. We never found them but my dad got more. Lol😂

I love your hair. Could you do like a little tiny hair tutorial on the hairstyle you’ve been wearing

Who else clicked as soon as they were notified?

After watching this video, i have realised that we are, in fact, the same person

“I broke my nose..I think” I’m dead 😂

Anyone one else dying waiting for the new EP????? BECAUSE I AM

i played so many of these same games as a child... lonely kids unite

6:29 *arms unfolding*

OMG JUST SPOTTED AN ARMS UNFOLDING LYRIC I USUALLY JUST LOOK FOR THE TIME STAMPS IN THE COMMENTS BUT I FOUND SELF-DEFENCE AND ATTACK YAY ME

This video made me feel like I just had a conversation with dodie..... It's magic how she does that!

In NYC there used to be a huge toy store... I was in the LEGO section and my WHOLE FAMILY literally walked away without me! I was so scared and I was looking around everywhere! I finally found my family by the build a bear! 😂

*I'M JUST WASHING MY AREAS, MA'AM*

Oh my days your ABBA thing reminded me that when I was little I thought the line “walking through an empty house” was walking through a Wendy house. So I’d always imagine myself in a tiny play house 😂😂

At my school we had a game called Pepsi Cola. (I don’t know if other schools had this) It was when we were on a quite flat hill in our field. One person would have to go to the top of the hill whilst everyone else stood at the bottom. The person at the top would then have to shout : *I am a Rockstar* (you could change rockstar out for anything you wanted) Then everyone at the bottom of the hill would shout: *Oh no your not!* *You must be joking!* *1 2 3* *A B C* *Under over, Pepsi cola!* And then when you shouted *Pepsi Cola* you had to do a handstand on the hill and the person at the top would pick the person who did the best handstand and then they would get a go at the top. My school was really weird 😂

Once when I was 5-6 I was with my dad and sister at Walmart and I got upset my dad didn’t get me the cereal I wanted. So I just stood in the isle next to the cereal and pouted. My dad took my little sister to another isle and I stayed in the cereal isle, pouting. After like 2 minutes I got scared and asked a lady to help me find my dad. He was getting milk with my sister and started laughing when I came around the corner with this random lady. My dad found it hilarious and, to this day, still laughs about it.

I love how soothing her voice is , I could literally fall asleep

Her harmonies in the beginning of her videos give me so much life

you always seem to make my day. your hair and voice and face and hand motions r so cute

when i used to get mad at my mum, i'd say i was going to love with 'margaret from down the road' and go and pack my bags. margaret didn't exist and to this day i don't know why that was the name that i chose or why i had such a vivid belief that she really existed

when i was little my favorite thing to do was see how quickly and quietly i could run through the house and pretend that i was flying

THE CRAB IS SOOO FUNNY "IM JUST WASHING MY AREAS M'AM"

This is one of the happiest dodie videos ive ever had the absolute pleasure of watching. You were so bright and full of excitement and, like, pure, sweet joy. ill be impatiently counting down minutes until youre ep come out, thanks for this very nice and good content.

I had an imaginary friend when I was younger named M. He was a small little ghost looking thing. He was always so nice. M was basically a ghost with two different sized and colored eyes. He didn't have hair or real arms or legs. He was a literal ghost. M and I used to play all the time until people got concerned about me. They thought that he was like real for me. He was completely imaginary but still he was a real friend. He was one of my good friends tho

Sometimes when I can’t sleep I put on longer videos of dodie talking because her voice has this cadence and is very soothing to me.

When I was little I liked to walk around my house with a mirror in my hands and imagine I was walking on the ceiling. You just remind me that, thank you for that

for a little time i had no idea my brother was my brother i just thought he was some cool dude who lived with us XD idk why

You should do more of this bc it is literally so cute and relaxing and makes me so happy

Man, I was a pretty weird kid too.. When I went to bed I would face the wall, close my eyes and imagine my wall covered in CD's that were numbered 1-30. Every night I would pick one and each one was a different dream. Can't believe I'm sharing this with the internet.

My dad used to play pretend with me when I was little. We would pretend we were superheroes and run around the center table at our little apartament with tableclothes around our necks like they were capes. I miss these times so much that I tear up whenever I remember them.

6:30 “self defense” DODIEEEEEE

When I was little, I used to pretend to be a fairy who could travel between different realities through mirrors. I would imagine to live a different life. Thinking about it, that's pretty damn dark lol

I don’t know what it is but when she talks it’s sound so melodic. It just sounds so similar to her singing voice. I bloody love it

when i was like in year 5 or 6 i had this imaginary boyfriend named griffin and i would pretend to hold hands with him as i walked to school every morning and wave him goodbye before i hopped on the train. but this isn’t the only moment i had imaginary people in my life. in year 2 i had imaginary twins and i would walk around school and pretend to push them in their pram. then i would sit at the back of the classroom to make sure i had “enough space for their rockers”. this is embarrassing haha
