―Lucahjin in her Twitch FAQ | ||
Reese Wheeler (born: November 21, 1976)[1], better known online as Lucahjin, LucahVA or simply Lucah, is a Canadian gaming YouTuber and VTuber on Twitch. She is best known for her early Let's Plays, raunchy humor, and streams on multiple platforms.
Lucah is married to fellow YouTuber and streamer, ProtonJon. She became a virtual Twitch streamer with a VTuber persona in 2020, and debuted her most well-known "Horse Mom" character model in 2021.
YouTube History[]
According to her, Lucah got into gaming because of users ProtonJon (who would later become her husband) and DeceasedCrab.
Lucah's first videos were "test" videos, which, as the name implies, tested video and audio recording in preparation for her lets play videos.
She began posting true LPs in 2008. The game was called "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" and lasted 6 episodes. Shortly after she began to post "Let's Draws" but after early 2010 stopped posting them.
Let's Plays[]
Lucah post's a variety of LPs, including indie games, old DOS box games, Barbie games, and Nintendo games, even the entire King's Quest and Quest of Glory series.
She truly grew in popularity after her posting her Barbie Horse Adventure series with co-star JoshJepson. Since then she has participated numerous Co-Op Let's Plays with other YouTubers, such as Donnabellez, AttackingTucans, and NintendoCapriSun.
Lucah gained a boost in popularity following two popular video game series; that being Phoenix Wright and Danganronpa. On July 25 of 2016, She started playing the Ace Attorney franchise for her channel, claiming that she has "been waiting forever to play this" She has subsequently become hooked on the franchise for it's colorful characters and murder mystery genre. Sha has completed the first 5 games in the franchise, and is currently playing the second spin-off Miles Edgeworth game (Ace Attorney Investigations 2), a character that she is quite fond of.
In April of 2018, she began Playing through the Danganronpa series, claiming that because so many of her fans suggested it to her because of the Phoenix Wright games. She has grown to love the series because of its quirky characters and dark, murder mystery tones, as well as the overall mystery that the games are focused around. However, the series' trademark action oriented trail sections, and more brutal and depressing tone has sometimes put her off, she seems to still enjoy the games a lot. Often siting characters like Byakuya Togami, Nagito Komeada and Kokichi Ouma for in jokes and memes during her playthroughs.
Her commentary style is relatively mature. Cursing is very common in her videos, and one of her reoccurring catch phrases is "Mah balls!" in reference to the name of her horse inside the Barbie Horse Adventure LP. (The other notable catch phrases are "Sir, SIR?" and the lesser-used "Madam?") Though not mature, Lucah tends to make jokes Taco Bell, and for her 100,000 subscriber special ate a taco in front of the camera.
Humor[]
- Off-color humor, such as intentionally misconstruing innocuous things as euphemisms for sexual things.
- Giving off-color nicknames to game characters or objects.
- Reading character dialogue in characteristic voices, most notably in a "derpy" voice punctuated with flatulent sounds (such as Professor Frankly in Thousand Year Door, whom she thinks looks constipated).
- She often applies this "derpy" voice to Toads in her Paper Mario LPs.
- She also has a large amount of other voices, such as her old man voice (most famous for being her voice of Toadsworth as well as almost all old men in her games), and her old woman/Kammy Koopa voice (used for Kammy, as well as Cackletta from her Superstar Saga LP).
- TEAM NEW KIDS
- She likes making fun of her love for Taco Bell.
Catchphrases
- "Actually!" - Lucahjin tends to add this to the end of a sentence when flustered, making it more of a verbal tic than a meme, catchphrase, or running gag.
- "Bowser is my Husbando!" - Lucahjin seems to have a romantic interest in Bowser, the Koopa King. This is evidenced in her Paper Mario series LPs and her recent Mario & Luigi LP, in which she remarks that Bowser is cute, or that she loves Bowser, or some variation thereof. She also consistently voices Bowser with a Cockney accent (which she also applies to other characters).
- "Just like all my first dates!" is a catchphrase used by Lucahjin when a character's line of dialogue could be construed in an off-color way.
- "I'm Sean Connery" - referenced when she mimics a deep, manly voice reminiscent of the Scottish actor.
- "Miss No Arms" or variations thereof for video game characters that are missing appendages. This meme first appeared during her Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Let's Play in reference to Goombella's lack of arms and her prejudice towards other characters in the game, when she, herself, is "disabled". In her blind Pokemon HeartGold LP she named her Wooper Mr. No Arms because of his sheer lack of upper appendages. In her Bowser's Inside Story LP, she also refers to Starlow as Miss No Arms, since all she is is a yellow ball.
- "Stay Away From the Summoner" and "Hello?!" - while Lucahjin did not invent this meme -- it is a line from from Final Fantasy X spouted by an elderly woman to Tidus in reference to High Summoner Braska's daughter, Yuna -- Lucahjin mentions it when she employs an elderly voice for female characters that is reminiscent of the Final Fantasy character's tone. She combines this meme with "Hello", especially when voicing Kammy Koopa in the Paper Mario spin-offs, referencing Queen Elizabeth II.
- She uses a different "Hello?" when speaking confusedly to other characters.
- "Sir?!" and "Madam?!" as exclamation used when a character's line of dialogue could be construed in an off-color way, when a character's behavior is considered rude or inappropriate, or when she is trying to get a character's attention in a game.
- "Gurrrrrrrl" is a catchphrase Lucahjin employs as a general statement to punctuate something said by a female (or sometimes male, in the case of Link in her blind LP of Ocarina of Time, where she repeatedly used this phrase) video game NPC.
- "And We Put It In Our Birth Control Case" - a running gag Lucahjin created during her Pokemon White Let's Play. It refers to the case used to hold the trainer's Gym Badges.
- "Jizzing in socks" - a running gag referenced in her Let's Play of Pajama Sam by Humongous Games. Part of a side-quest in the game involves collecting Sam's stray socks to appease his mother. Lucahjin joked that he was trying to hide them from his mother because he ejaculated into them. This joke was referenced in her Co-Op Let's Play of Detective Barbie.
- "I'm a Girl" was a running gag Lucahjin used to her South Park: Stick of Truth Let's Play. In the game, she projected her own personality onto the player character known as "Douchebag". The character, by default, is always male. She purposefully dressed him up and crafted his facial features and hair to resemble her own. Whenever in-game characters reference the character's sex as male, she responds with "I'm a girl"!
- Claiming resemblance to Doctor Eggman in her Versus with AttackingTucans. Several fans drew pictures of her as Eggman, prompting her to cosplay as him a video game convention. She described his physiology as "a beach-ball with arms and legs" and likened this to her own body type. The two share glaringly prominent red-hair, furthering the gag.
- "You Don't Know" - said in a sassy tone when Lucahjin encounters an in-game character whose dialogue is overly confident, or, when she is projecting her personality onto an in-game persona, and something a character says references the character's personality which she deems incongruous to the characters, since she is projecting her own personality onto it. For example, the "I'm a Girl" meme and running gag employed during her South Park: Stick of Truth Let's Play.
- "Well Done!" - During her blind HeartGold playthrough, whenever her Pokémon pleases her.
- "We have a thing, it looks like a thing, and we put it in our birth control case!"
- In her Pokemon White LP she uses this to describe the Pokemon badges. This also includes her HeartGold and Platinum LP.
- "My phone!" - Whenever she gets a call in her HeartGold blind LP.
- Doctor Eggman is a running gag that came about when many people joked that Lucahjin looked like him. This has gone so far that she has begun to cosplay him at cons.
