Ahh this is sad. I really loved you two together. You both have your reasons and I respect that. Wishing the both of you well for whatever the future brings.

Marvelous Dolcy

When are we getting this explanation video?

LilDickBigHeart

definitely it hits on whole new level it's like your friend group is breaking up

Trish

I took this news harder than my parents divorce

kellen davis

Jay rellim

Hope everything is still good between y'all. I feel like I've been on the internet long enough to see a lot of content creators split up so I understand things have to change sometimes cause that's life.

Dune

This is very sad but life seems to change always...I love y'all lots do well,heal and succeed 🙏🏽 ❤️

Everybody love everybody…including yourselves!

Devastated that this has happened right as Better Call Saul returned, but I understand. Your mental health takes priority over anything else. Will continue to watch both of your youtube channels and wishing you all the best. 😊

Been a fan and avid enjoyer of your vids since MHA season 3. I have a lot of love and respect for both of you as you have helped me through my own mental struggles recently. It’s obviously sad to hear; but I’m sure most of this community will not only continue to support you but watch you both grow as well. Rooting for both of y’all.

My apologies, I didn't mean to hurt any feelings with my comments. The wording was definitely something I should have revised before posting. I'm also really sorry about misunderstanding your post's intentions. I know you have talked a few times about not having great relationships with women and I just sort of assumed the worst. Sir Deb got it right on the head, I was upset more about just not knowing anything, but as for the situation I do understand a bit more now, thank you. Good luck on your solo adventures.

ToastMunchie

Hi Imon I'm sorry you're still going through it... But I wouldn't take this comment as a way to hurt you. People are just unaware of what's going on in your head, so naturally were looking for answers. Thank you for providing some here though. This helps us understand much better... I think people only rly will be upset when left in the dark. Good luck and I hope you can grasp onto this and turn it into a positive somehow!

Everybody stay awesome

Daddy Dogg Abbott

Aw this is really sad. I loved the back and forth between the two of you so much but I'll support you both of course

There's still episodes in our backlog as a duo we haven't gotten around to posting yet to youtube. This announcement had to be made last minute as I have been in recovery mode.The truth is we split abruptly very recently and I will explain this in my video. My mental health was taking a toll to an extreme and as I posted before about my Autism diagnosis I had a realization I had been "masking" for years to fit into society for survival. And my burnout came about because I was still masking around Abi. So every time we filmed together I was putting my health at risk. And it SUCKS! I wish this wasn't the reason but it is. Every time we filmed together I had to take days to recover I couldn't even eat after a while which is why I lost weight. This has NOTHING to do with Abi. She was not doing anything to harm me in anyway, but my body and my mind had enough of this, since I have been doing this since I was a child. And started to give out on me. It is my own healing journey. But this just meant I had to choose my own health. I have to choose my life. I didn't realize It was all connected until we started filming once a week for the last few months and I could see when I wasn't filming with her I was doing much better, but after we filmed together I was in bad shape for a few days after. And then I put two and two together. I brought this up to her in the best way I could which is why the decision for her to do AoT and Demon Slayer on her own was made. I didn't want to bring her down with me as I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on with me. This is all SO SO SO personal but your comment really hurt me because you all have absolutely no idea what is going on behind the scenes. And when I say this is the beginning It isn't disregarding Abi's influence on this channel but that I can start to be more of myself and be more open about my struggles and share my perspectives! And as I have been able to do more solo reactions on my own I have been feeling much better and more creatively fulfilled. Abi deserves the love and support, and I know she will thrive doing her own thing she is a special person with her own light and she has a beautiful perspective to share as well.

Imon_Snow

The great conversations between you two were definitely my favorite part of the reactions so I really have some conflicting feelings over this. For the most part, I've always found single-person reactions to be a lot less engaging as a viewer. But if I have that much of an issue with that, I can just stick to Youtube. I do respect your guys' decision. You have to do what's best for you. More than anything, I just hope the two of you are okay.

Tmatts

yeah so let's wait for the video that will be up soon

Jerico

I don't think there's any malice between them. If I were to guess, it's probably just a shift of priorities, and as time progresses, it's probably just easier for them to work separately

Newerk

same dude i would watch their community reactions everyday it just doesn't feel right to watch them now it just makes me sad that they stopped

Trish

Well, damn.

BetheSOUL

Shane has his own channel? What's it called?

s4ean

Saw it coming a mile away once I started seeing the solo reactions. I'm sorry for whatever circumstances brought this on.

ToastMunchie

What the heck??? :(

accelangel

Well, that will unfortunately be the end of my patreon subscribtion then.

Eli van Aggelen

And so one of the greatest YT duos comes to an end. It was a pleasure to be a viewer of it. Tbf this started out as just Imon (ive been a fan since TWD lol) so now it returns to its roots. And i can't wait to see what you both do on your solo journeys!

Shockzz1234

I will miss you two doing the commentary and reactions to Community, looked forward to a new one every week, but understand you two have to do what you need to do, thanks again for what you have done already, best wishes to both your channels moving forward.

Gerry Paje

I really want to be supportive about this but... damn it! I was really rooting for you two and this channel. You guys deserve all the success in the world and I feel like you guys were early-day pioneers of the reactor space and I was really happy to be one of the early fans and followers. Maybe not the earliest but I've been a fan for years. You two were the first reactors I really found actually and it was your videos that got me hooked. You've consistently been a highlight on my YouTube playlist, and I watch your stuff every day. A large part of my fandom has been from your unique and different perspectives from mine (you two are always so interesting), and your chemistry together. I'm really really bummed about this news. I feel like I've been being lied to these past months. Absolutely none of what's going on in the background is any of our business whatsoever. You are entitled to your privacy, your personal lives, and your space. But man... not gonna lie... I really want to know what's happened and what's going on. I'm not entitled to know. I don't deserve to know. But damn, I wanna know. I feel like whatever broke you guys apart must have been really big and that's crazy to me. As creators, on camera, you guys are magic together. To walk away from that... wild.

Eric H

Blindwave went through the same thing it was sad not having Shane in reactions for a bit but his channel is doing great now the reaction community is awesome I hope abi all the success in the world

Richard McClure

That sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Kinda makes sense why the Arcane reaction never came out after both of you were talking about it when it released.

GNG VEVO OFFICIAL

It sucks to read this. But do what you think is best.

slipHAZARD

I understand. And yes it's saddening but it will take time to adjust. I fully support your decisions and I wish both of your journeys the best moving forward!

Jerico

The news is extremely sad to hear, but if this is what the two of you think is best, I'm happy for you both. Just became a Patron for Abi, and I'll continue to be a Patron for you, Imon.

Merfhew

I signed on for your community reactions together, this is saddening but i am sure even sadder from your end. Much love and peace to you both 💛

Alexander Alayon Jr

Oh man. I absolutely love the Community commentary you two brought to the table, plus the talks afterwards. However... I understand doing what you have to do, and I trust you guys are making the best decision for everyone involved ✊🏾
