BadBoyHalo (also known as Bad or BBH) is a Twitch streamer and YouTuber of primarily Minecraft content who uploaded his first Youtube video on June 5, 2012.[1] He has kept his more personal information, like his exact age or real name, private. Although he's said he neither confirms nor denies it as his birthday, his birthday is celebrated by fans on April 2nd.

He owns the public Minecraft server MunchyMC[2]. He was an admin on the once popular McPVP server and created many YouTube videos on it. He is known for featuring in many of fellow YouTuber Skeppy's videos and has links to the Dream Team, having participated as a hunter in many of their Minecraft Manhunts and was a member of the Dream SMP. He was also a member of the QSMP, as well as other SMPs such as How To Minecraft SMP, the iDots and ChadSMP. He's also played in and won Minecraft competitions like Minecraft Monday and MCC and competed in many Twitch Rivals events.

He tends to give off an innocent aura, striving to be child-friendly, and is known as being a kind and genuine person. There are many examples of Bad being kind to his friends, such as: helped Dream[2] pay his rent, helped Punz and Ponk buy computers to start streaming,[3] and was one of the first people Antfrost and Red Velvet came out to.

New fans tend to be shocked by Bad's choices in hobbies and music tastes because of his innocent persona and lack of swearing, and also by his vocal range and impressions.[4] There is debate among fans about how much he plays a character when on video.[5] Fans will point things out like how Dream once snapped at Bad and told him to "stop playing dumb" in a Manhunt behind the scenes video, or that Skeppy and Bad both have admitted that Bad isn't as gullible as he sometimes appears and has figured out some of the trolls Skeppy does to him in videos, with Skeppy saying he's gotten Bad to fake reactions and play along with the bit before. However it is clear that his personality and lack of swearing is not a fake character trait, as Skeppy streamed their conversations multiple times without Bad's knowledge in the past. Others like Quackity have said that Bad is one of the most genuine people he's met and that he is the same person both on and off camera.

He tries to be family friendly, nevertheless he sometimes says things that sound dirty, or is 'tricked' into saying things that sound dirty (such as "sofa king"), and which leave people questioning if he said it unaware of the double meaning.[6][7] A 2023 example on the QSMP between him and Foolish:

Foolish: I feel like you're not quite getting it.
BadBoyHalo: Getting it? Are you giving it to me?
Foolish: *giggling* What?!
BadBoyHalo: You literally said I'm not getting it. What am I not getting?[8]

Along a similar line, sometimes Bad's friends will call him Big Daddy or just daddy, epsecially Red Velvet. This is because he tweeted a photo of his dog, Lucy, sitting next to a mug with the words "Big Daddy" on it.[9] Bad said he didn't realize there was anything questionable about that, and thought it was just cute (as he's bigger than her, and like her daddy...)[10] So it's a bit of meme to call him Big Daddy, or get him to call someone else Big Daddy.[11][12] [13]

Even though he revealed his face early in his career, he rarely has a facecam since he's said it makes him self-conscious. The rare times he had facecam, he usually used a filter to obscure his features, with his favorite one being a devil filter that gave him horns, sunglasses and flames at the bottom of his screen. When he met up with his friends in real life, many fans were shocked at his long hair, some not having seen his face since he had shaved his head two years prior. Fans had seen so little of Bad they'd even made jokes like him not having legs.[14] He very rarely will use a vtuber that matches his Minecraft skin.

Relationship With Fandom

As far as first glance goes, BadBoyHalo's relationship with fandom might be described as "neutral' as he has tried to stay out of much of fandom drama. He's encouraged his fanbase to also try to stay out of drama, telling them not to defend him and that they 'know who they are' in regards to outsiders spreading mean rumors about him and his fandom. He has stated that he considers fandom, including shipping fandom to be "like cherries, that's the best analogy I can think of"[15] in that some people will like it and others won't and when pressed heavily stated he doesn't like "hardcore NSFW" art, but that overall he considers that something for each content creator to deal with. Specifically he has said he's fine with a little blood, but not excessive gore, and with anything that you "would be comfortable showing to a cool high school teacher." He suggested to check his Twitter likes for examples of fanart he's comfortable with.[16] In general he is not opposed to shipping, including RPF, as long as it's not against the other person's personal boundaries.

Mostly Bad doesn't want his fans attacking other fans. As reported by one of his mods, Rurus:

[W]hen having discussions with other Happytwt members, it is important to incorporate Bad’s first and foremost request when dealing with ANY member of his community, or those outside it - with kindness and respect. We need to remember we're all a part of the same fandom and we all have the same goal. Even when we disagree on how to handle things, it is not okay to attack people over it, especially his friends, because his number one request is that we be kind to each other and others.[17]

BadBoyHalo reguarly likes fanart on Twitter and rarely will respond to fans there as well.[18] Sometimes a fanartist will do a daily art challenge in order to get a follow or direct message from him. He's admitted to denying these requests for a bit (while still liking the fanart, so the artist knows he's seen and acknowledged they are doing a challenge for his attention) in order to get more fanart. He's also changed his banner before after artist collaborations.[19] He's watched and reacted[20] to fanvids and commented positively on them.[21] He's done several art streams with fanartists.[22] He's also close friends with arguably his fandom's most popular fanfic writer, and although he's probably never read their fanfics of him since he's said he doesn't read fanfic, they did help him with co-writing lore on the Dream SMP.[23]

Every Saturday BadBoyHalo hosts events on his server MunchyMC, which he streams to Youtube (note that they are unlisted), and that fans who own Java Minecraft can freely join to play with him. He also has a fan server where fans can talk to him.

Bad's YouTube chat used to be notoriously bad, with tons of spamming and meme donations meant to annoy and troll Bad.[24][25] His Twitter fanbase is called either Muffintwt or Ghostietwt. Muffintwt is considered to be the OG fans, who are also often found on his discord and Saturday events on Munchy. Ghostietwt came about during QSMP, helped along by LilithLuvsYa creating a ghostie mascot and multiple ghostie emotes for Bad's twitch chat. Ghostietwt is a mix of new and old fans, mostly from the Twitch side. His Twitch chat is called the ghosties now instead of muffins.

His Tumblr fandom tends toward meta discussions as well as crack fic and shipping. Compared to the rest of his fandom fans on Tumblr are more open to suggestive or nsfw themes as it is believed that BadBoyHalo leaves Tumblr, like fanfiction in general, as a fandom-only space. Because of this, Tumblr fans have a reputation of being on the weirder side and oft accused of breaking boundaries.[26]

Muffin Song

He famously never swears and likes to replace curse words with muffin, hamburger, and other cutesy phrases. Muffins especially is a common motif in his personal branding. He also is known to sing random songs,[27] often ad-libbing lyrics on the spot and occasionally singing in his discord,[28][29] with fans, which eventually led to a collaboration between him and CG5 that resulted in the song "Muffin" with CG5 and Hyper Potions (featuring Skeppy and Captain Puffy) on Oct 22, 2021. The official lyrics video was also released on Oct 22, 2021 on CG5's channel.

Hyper Potions largely did the music while CG5 wrote the lyrics, produced the song and co-sang it with Bad. PhyreCreations did the animated music video with CG5's direction. Many fans assumed BadBoyHalo had more to do with the song, however his contribution (outside of being the inspiration) was primarily as a lead singer and promotor of the work. CG5 released a making of Muffin video on his CG5LIVE channel and BadBoyHalo streamed himself, CG5 and Phyre reacting to and breaking down the music video.[30]

BadBoyHalo often opens his Twitch streams playing the song and as told fans they are free to use it.

Controversies & Harassment

The biggest controversy with Bad is probably that he remains friends with people that are considered to be controversial, such as Dream and a6d.

BadBoyHalo has a habit of scolding others for swearing, usually by saying, "Language!" He made an effort to stop saying it when on other people's streams, as people said it was annoying and wasn't his stream so he shouldn't try to police other's language, which he ultimately agreed with. Naturally his fans find this trait endearing and not annoying,[31] and argue that being able to express and enforce your boundaries is a good thing,[32] and that antis have no reason to be mad at him when other creators purposely try to get a "language" reaction from him.

i swear this goofy ass topic gets brought up again every 5 months. god forbid bbh is considerate of his younger audience and keeps his personal boundaries[33]

Twitter has tried to cancel him for several things he's said in the past.[34][35]

For example, he used to say 'fatty' as a term of endearment before dropping it when a fan said it bothered them even though they knew he didn't mean it in a derogatory way. Twitter tried to cancel him for being fatphobic about a year later anyway. Around the same time, people went digging for even older clips of Bad to support that he should be canceled.

BadBoyHalo had privated/deleted most of his old streams that featured his more edgy humor, but there are still a few reuploaded streams and clips that exist. One such clip included BadBoyHalo repeating a self harm joke from Family Guy (Season 12 episode 11).[36] He addressed it in his discord by saying:[37]

People cope with self harm through a bunch of different ways. Some people make jokes about it. Anything I said I said amongst a small group of people I felt safe around a long time ago before I had a large audience and before my audience was younger. If you want a more in depth explanation you're not gonna get it. I don't have to talk about my past or the things I've struggled with with anyone I don't want to.[38]

Another brief controversy was when false grooming allegations were made against him on Twitter, which the accuser justified by saying it was a joke before deactivating their account.[39]

During his time on the QSMP there was a lot of push back against him which started when he decided to enter the running for QSMP President against more popular creators. A persistent rumor spread that during the elections his fandom was xenophobic and had spammed monkey and banana emotes whenever his opponents talked during the debates, however there was no proof of this and repeatedly fans and even Bad's own mods said this never happened. All the vods, which also include the chat, are also still available to watch on Twitch.

He started to come under fire regularly for his inability to speak fluent Spanish, as he only started practicing the language shortly before QSMP started. He was often criticized for not repeating unknown words in other languages when asked as a sign that he wasn't trying to learn. In reality he had grown leery of parroting unknown words as at the beginning of QSMP it was how Spanish streamers had gotten Bad to swear in Spanish. Many of the larger foreign fandoms spread rumors that Bad himself was xenophobic, among other nasty rumors.

Shortly after the elections, Bad grew tired of the hate and personal attacks[40] against him and made some private twitter posts talking about it.[41]

Some of the qsmp enjoyers need to chill out. Im trying to do fun stories with friends but I’m reading stuff that is actually unhinged and makes playing the hero/villain or doing certain lore nigh impossible with these takes. Ill talk about it more on stream tomorrow

Yeah im sick of it im checking out of political lore for the foreseeable future. The amount of out of rp nonsense is too much.


Chilled a bit and blew off some steam. I am looking forward to some stuff we are going to do on stream soon. Ty people for the nice messages as well. Will have more info for you tommorrow

This prompted Twitter fans to send kind messages to him through the hashtag #WeLoveYouLittleMuffin which Bad acknowledged and thanked his fans for. It very briefly calmed the harassment against him for a few days.[42]

Other creators and even QSMP admins also came under fire for being friends with Bad. Sometimes he was used in order to freely hate on other creators. For example during the elections he was often mentioned with/lumped in with Baghera Jones when criticizing her and her ideas in order to avoid accusations of misogyny or xenophobia. Then when Baghera Jones was placed on an opposing team during the QSMP Purgatory event, haters gave backhanded compliments, saying she became tolerable when she wasn't around Bad. What actually happened was she was teamed with and now directly supporting their favs, which is what they really liked, as of course her personality hadn't changed. Antis said similar things about Bad's egg child Dapper, often justifying the hatred by saying things like he was only funny when speaking Spanish, and it was common to wish death on him in hopes of emotionally hurting Bad.[43] Sentiments the teenage admin sadly saw, as he commented on knowing he wasn't a popular egg and expressed fear at angering the other QSMP content creators and being killed by them (a justified fear, as multiple creators did try to kill his character).

During QSMP's Purgatory event, Bad and his fandom received a lot of hatred because BadBoyHalo was better at Minecraft PVP than their favorited QSMP streamers and they accused him of all manner of bad behavior, often swarming the official update accounts[44] with insults against him and his team.[45] A few fellow QSMP content creators tried to ask their fandoms not to send hate to BadBoyHalo, reminding them it was just a game and they were friends, though most didn't comment on it and some even seemed to prefer to encourage the hate with their own comments.

It didn't help that half way through the event Bad publicly defended Dream on his second Twitter account.[46]

Im glad you are talking about it as I know you were advised not to. I watched your stream and lts important for people to not clip things out of context. You do not help victims when you do that. I hope you release the vid so people can see what u have shown us behind the scenes

Dream was out of public favor, fighting false grooming accusations at the time and still preparing a video response. Bad's haters began calling him a groomer defender and a pedo as well. A chunk of Bad's own fandom didn't like Dream for various reasons either, causing them to stop defending or boycott Bad because of his tweet to Dream. Hating Bad because of Dream was seen as a 'legitimate' reason to spread hate and insult him. After another QSMP member was removed for grooming, some twitter users said Bad deserved to be removed as well because of his association with Dream.[47]

Bad responded on stream saying that he would never defend someone who he thought was a groomer, but that he would defend someone against false accusations as he himself had been the victim of false accusations in the past and knew what it was like to not have anyone speak up in your defense for fear of backlash.[48] Rurus, one of Bad's mods, also posted a thread on Twitter[49] as character witness to Bad being a good person who wouldn't support groomers, talking about the support Bad gave them when they revealed their own past grooming.

I don't talk about myself much.

I'm a private person, and only keep a handful of friends. I don't really want to talk about this. I wish I didn't feel like I have to. But I can't watch a friend who has helped me recover from my own grooming be ripped apart.
[...]
But if you've gone this far and believe me when I say Bad does not support or defend grooming, and at worst is misguided in his current genuine belief of innocence, then, thank you. That's all.

First and last tweet in Rurus' thread[49]

The lie that Bad was xenophobic was even spread in other streamers' chats during the QSMP Purgatory 2 event, and streamers were encouraged to swear at Bad. His fans warned that there was a rule against disrespect that could cause streamers to be disqualified if they chose to do that, resulting in Bad's fans being mocked and accused of sending hate to streamers that planned to swear around Bad. Bad himself said he didn't care if anyone swore at him, it wouldn't stop him from playing the game and he'd just mute them.

Many QSMP fanworks purposely excluded BadBoyHalo, even from his own team specific fanworks, and he was cropped from screenshots. He was heavily criticized for having been elected leader of his team during Purgatory 2 and for his teammates choosing to speak in English, even though Bad repeatedly told them they could speak in their native languages and his team was not the only one that spoke a lot in English. His teammates only had kind things to say about Bad, of course, and it's likely most of the hatred was coming from the existing QSMP fandom and not his teammates individual fandoms.

Eventually his fans started making anon twitter accounts in order to safely debunk the extreme claims against him, such as RESPECT BBH! 📌 @burner1654092.

Fandom

In non-RPF fanworks, fans often like to play with their portrayal of Bad. Most typically portraying him in ways based off his usual Minecraft skin which vaguely shows a dark hood with red accents and light colored or glowing eyes, as well as his lore in the Dream SMP of being some sort of demon or dark angel, and QSMP lore canonizing himself as being a fallen angel turned demon. However sometimes he has also been portrayed having something much closer to his "real life" appearance with brown hair, though this is rarer. Or mixing in some real life features they think "fit" him, especially his glasses or hair while still giving an overall demonic appearance to his character. And almost always utilizing his distinctive outfit.

Some segments of fandom, especially on Tumblr, also like to portray him more feminine[50] with large breasts. This dates back to a DSMP era recurring joke.[51][52][53] This headcanon sometimes shows up in gen works[54], mostly fanart, but naturally is more common in risqué or NSFW depictions. When directly asked what he thinks about fans genderbending his character in art and cosplay, Bad's repeated that fans are free to interpret his character however they'd like. He also gives credence to these interpretations occasionally, such as agreeing to change his Minecraft skin into a dress or taking on the femme persona of 'BarbieBoyHalo' which formed after another creator on the QSMP, Mikethelink, gave him a skin with long blonde hair to wear.[55]

In fanworks there are generally a couple strands fans focus on (though these two strands are not the entirety of fanworks, just simply the majority), one being his participation in most, but not every, Minecraft Manhunt and the excitement and twists and turns that go along with that.

The other major strand is his character and participation in various SMPs. This brings in a much longer term relationship he's had in character with the YouTube content creator Skeppy, as well as other plotlines like on the DSMP his friendship/enemyhood with TommyInnit and his role in the possibly extraterrestrial threat known as The Egg. As mentioned, one of the most popular themes for fanfics in particular focuses on his relationship with Skeppy. Bad had worked with Skeppy on other small projects before joining the Dream SMP and they both ended up playing on the Dream SMP for significant amounts of time. In character, BadBoyHalo refers to Skeppy as his "best friend" and the feeling is more or less mutual, with the two living together until disruption strikes. However, they also canonically share the same pool of lives and sometimes, though rarely, refer to this bond as "soulmates". Fandom, when in shipping mode, tends to pick up on these facts and look at different interpretations for their friendship or closeness and their "soulmate" bond.

BadBoyHalo's character on the Dream SMP is also canonically the father of Sapnap[56] and Skeppy Jr. (a diamond block gifted to him by Nihachu that fans anthropomorphize). He is also sometimes headcanoned to be the adoptive father of other characters, such as the half demon Eryn, or Dream, who in real life has referred to BadBoyHalo as "a fatherly-like figure" who helped him get his start on YouTube.[57].

A frequent topic of fanworks during this time, besides Skeppy, was Bad's struggles with Tommy and The Egg, an alien organism which Bad was at one point somewhat brainwashed by to serve. The Egg is portrayed as a red egg or red tentacles.

The QSMP really showed off Bad as a dad, since he was set up as a single father to another child, whom Bad named Dapper. He also became the adoptive father of the French egg Pomme. He was also extremely protective and fatherly toward all the other egg children as well, going out of his way to provide them with gear, safety, and save them from death. He was sometimes likened to a superhero rushing in to save them, or guarding over them. He was frequently left as a babysitter as he streamed almost every day of the QSMP and often did the required tasks to keep the children alive or helped their parents do them. He was known to cry at their deaths and mourn them, visiting a graveyard every month with his children to celebrate the dead eggs' birthdays. And at the end of the server, Bad was there to say goodbye to several of the eggs at their departing, and several of them told him he was like a father to them. One of the egg children, Richas, whom Bad spent a great deal of time with, finally agreed to let Bad adopt him for a minute on their last day together on the server.

He was also seen as a father figure to another QSMP creator, Cellbit, who gave them the shared backstory of having fought in a war together based on an old Hunger Games video they made together in 2013.[58] Bad didn't seem to like the father figure headcanon much, complaining about it once in a stream, and he didn't play along with it much either. Cellbit fans mostly used the connection to blame unfavorable traits on Bad for not raising Cellbit correctly, something they shared with Dream SMP fans as Sapnap fans would sometimes do the same. Even talking about real life and not role play, fans sometimes blame Bad for negative traits in Dream or Sapnap as if Bad was actually their father.[59] Rarely are good traits credited to Bad.

His character on the QSMP was a demon in hiding that had fallen from heaven and Bad hinted that he had ties to many disasters, which was ripe for fan theories and often sent fans into a frenzy of research. During one of the stretches when the egg children disappeared for months off the server, Bad went through a grief arc where he desaturated his Minecraft skin to black and gray. At the end of the week, Bad kidnapped a Federation worker and went on a villain arc. He also used a modded Minecraft mob called a soul vulture to infect his character. His Minecraft skin began gaining spots of bright blue cyan, including one of his eyes. Eventually, the QSMP Purgatory event happened which ended with one egg being returned to the parents. That egg happened to be Dapper. Dapper and Bad then had to run to a boat to escape a nuclear explosion going off. Left behind by the others, they fail to escape before the bomb detonates. Bad's character seemed to die, waking up in a flat sand world. At the end of a heavy lore stream, he remembers his children and wakes back up on the main QSMP island. But he is not unscathed, his character suffers from bouts of memory loss and his skin takes on toxic green hues mostly on his back from the radiation of the nuke. Over the course of the next few months, as the blue soul vulture infection returns, Bad's character slowly deteriorates until his death and resurrection, something possible since he's a demon. Back at the flat sand world, Bad's character discovers that the gates of heaven have opened to him, but he turns his back on heaven and chooses to return to his children. However he returns to life without his memories. His children are taken from him again before he fully manages to recover his memories. At the end of the QSMP, Bad gives a possible ending for his character: his character regains his memory fully, and without his children there, decides to die; in heaven he is greeted by his three waiting children.

His QSMP character was shipped with a variety of other characters by fans, and sometimes placed in the role of a jealous unrequited lover trying to break up an OTP. Bad stated he was playing his character somewhat on the aromantic spectrum, but as the server went on he seemed to give in more to the idea of romantic relationships with other characters, even seeming to become poly and saying he had "two hands" (one for Skeppy, one for another character), although when pressed would say he didn't necessarily mean anything romantic by it.

Outside of lore reasons, Bad sometimes changed his skin to fan-made ones for special events or sub goals. A lot of fanwork includes these alternative skins instead of his traditional skin.

There is also a focus on teasing out the exact nature of BadBoyHalo's character, quirks and traits, as he is played as having a strong dislike or aversion to rude language and explicit, especially scatological, discussions, and unrelatedly has moments of caring. But is also shown with an earthy sense of humor and sometimes a ruthless streak. He likes to play pranks on the other members, which adds to his characterization of either being a bit of a villain or a harmless goofball.

Ships, Duos, Trios

In MCYT fandom in addition to romantic portmanteau ship names, it is common to make platonic duo names. The following is a list of some such common pairings with BadBoyHalo:

Team up names tend to not follow the standard format and instead could be anything. Some examples include:
