Marisa Hunt (ImaKuni)
Marisa Hunt (Also known as... a million different online identities) is a gamer/entertainer for popular gaming group, VineSauce. She joined them fairly early into the 2010's, and slowly but surely worked her way into the hearts of her fanbase.

Marisa's Past
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Well, we all know the real reason you're here. You want some serious dirt on your favorite or least favorite vinesauce gamer, right? Well, you've come to the right place! Where do we begin?
It's hard to track down anything before 2007/2008, mainly due to her having a fetish for anonymity at the time. It's only recently that she has shed her shield of anonymity; For what reason, no one knows. At any rate.
Chapter 1: Pre-Pink Milk n' Munchies
Before joining a PaRappa-theme forum in late 2007, Marisa ran into a few entanglements, to be sure. She had to deal with an unnamed "stalker" who would constantly harass and belittle her using whatever means necessary. While this may not seem major, it seems to have damaged Marisa on a psychological level, as it was because of these events that it would come to eventually affect a later friendship.
Oh, and if you're wondering about her condition: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, supposedly not even Marisa knows what caused it. She claimed to be fairly regular up until around 5th Grade, where she mysteriously contracted the disease. Based on extensive research, it seems that CFS is usually caused by a virus or something. Nothing concrete or solid, but the most accepted theory is that someone may have poisoned her. It would seem that as a result of this, she would go on to be home-schooled right up until the end of her high school career. Thankfully, she managed to go to college in person, so it all worked out in the end.
Chapter 2: Pink Milk n' Munchies Era
Now we're really getting into the meat of it. At the tail end of 2007, around December or so, Marisa joined the forum under the guise "Elly', this is but one of her many many alternate online handles. More on that later. Anyway, she joined the forum, which at the time had been "taken over" by a new admin that she wasen't quite familiar with at the time: Taylor1991. Unrelated to Marisa herself, what had transpired was that Taylor1991 had committed a hostile takeover of the forum from its former admin: InsertCoinsToContinue, also known simply as Ryan. This action was committed under the guise that it was not Taylor1991 himself that caused it, but rather a hacker by the name of "Triple H". These events transpired around September of 2007, a few months before Marisa entered the picture.
Soon after joining, Marisa became friends with a few of the members, such as TyphoonBling (Chris) and ShadowMyLove (Julia). Out of all of them however, she would seem to connect the most with the supposed fake admin, Taylor1991. They had gotten to such good terms that Taylor1991 even granted her modship, and eventually, adminship. It was merely a week into her membership that she started asking people to play Pokemon Wifi with her(Mind you this was DS-era and the newest Pokemon game at the time was the rather shitty Diamond/Pearl). She played with a few, but one of them stuck out. That's right, the fake admin, Taylor1991. After a few rounds of Pokemon, the two started talking about their interests, likes, dislike, you know all of the usual introductory crap. Interesting to note is, during this time period, Marisa was going around under a false real name (Yes I know it's a contradiction but just roll with it damnit), "Amy Dutka". At first it was thought that this was only given to the fake admin, but it turns out, she also used this false pseudonym with another supposedly close friend of hers: Steve Lisca, also known as Bleachman. More on him in the next chapter.
After several rounds of playing Pokemon on DS, and talking through voice chat (It had gotten to the point where Taylor1991 and Marisa would ONLY PLAY POKEMON TO VOICE CHAT VIA DS, I KID YOU NOT). Mind you this was before Skype became the defacto IM service. Back then MSN and even AIM were sitll the most common. But I'm getting off-topic here. Point is, they would start becoming more ambitious with how they spent their time. It got to the point where Marisa would play video games at her home while Taylor1991 would talk to her and keep her company, while also playing the same games himself in order to provide assistance with Marisa. Notable examples are the N64 Banjo games, where Marisa would go back and revisit the games in order to finally beat them for the first time. This took place during the early part of 2008, before the announcement of Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. The announcement actually happened while Marisa and Taylor1991 were well on their way to finishing Banjo-Tooie... an interesting coincidence, to be sure. After beating the Banjo games, they admittingly didn't play much else beyond one session of MapleStory and also an attempt at joint-playing Jet Set Radio Future, this time via Skype because they finally realized how cruddy DS voice chat was. Needless to say, they had some good times together, and for a time some would even assume that they were an item, despite both of them being against "online relationships".
This friendship was unfortunately strained after the fake admin committed a grand-scale prank towards all of its members, Marisa included. This grand-scale prank included sending a picture of his un-erect penis to everyone's e-mail address, while also posting it as the forum's background. While everyone was repulsed by it, TyphoonBling would eventually get over it and in fact "praise" him or having such "balls". Alas, Marisa did not take it well, thus this planted the seed that would only grow and grow.
While things seemed beautiful now, believe you me, it only goes downhill from here.
Chapter 3: Random Untitled Podcast Era
Sometime after joining Pink Milk n' Munchies (Possibly before, but there is no solid evidence one way or the other), Marisa was asked to join a podcast that was made by three of her friends. These are the previously mentioned Bleachman (Steve Lisca), Fatman (Name Unknown), and Viper (Name Unknown). At first she was only intended to be a guest, but due to good reception, she was made the permanent 4th member. Eventually she would even get the fake admin, Taylor1991, on there as a guest. It didn't end well, however. It was during this time also that the friendship between Marisa and Taylor1991 was intensifying, so much to the point that Taylor1991 developed an infatuation, despite his beliefs. Unfortunately it was very difficult to hide these feelings, even through voice chat. It came to a point where he even composed a lousy poem about his sweet "Amoir" (A love-corruption of Marisa's fake real first name, Amy. If you wanted to make one of her actual real name, try "Marisoul" or something). The poem was even mentioned on an episode of the Random Untitled Podcast prior to Taylor1991's guest appearance. Needless to say, it was around this time that the friendship between Marisa and Taylor1991 was beginning to strain. And again, it was only going to get worse.
Chapter 4: Yumifan Era, Part 1
Pink Milk n' Munchies was still up and running during the podcast tangent, but unfortunately new people were showing up, some with clearly malicious intent. One such member was Yumifan. A 30-something year old living in brazil who, at the time, was a jobless possible pedophile with an unusual infatuation for HiHiPuffy Ami Yumi (Hence the totally original username). Point is, due to the reveal that Taylor1991 was Triple H, members were starting to lose morale, respect, and even love for their fake admin. It was this time that neophytes like Yumifan and even Malkmusian wanted to take over. A few members even resorted to creating knock-off forums that claimed to be "totally independent of PMNM", but it was clear as day that that was not the intention. Among the fakers were Yumifan, Malkmusian, and even former admin UmJammer Kathy. Marisa at the time wasen't really on any one's side, instead choosing to go with the flow. Unfortunately, she would start to feel pity for Yumifan (A decision she would come to regret and swiftly rectify, I assure you), and as such, started to feel a little resentment towards Taylor1991, which was already not helped by the previous prank mentioned in Chapter 2. While that prank could be considered "planting a seed", the Yumifan drama could be considered the water. These events grew and propogated the seed, but we haven't quite reached the breaking point. Another reminder that Marisa still went by "Amy Dutka" in addition to her many online identities.
Chapter 5: Yumifan Era, Part 2
With Yumifan constantly trying to break admin duties from Taylor1991, the fake admin felt it was necessary to fight back. Thus, the ragtag group of Taylor1991, Umjammer Kathy, TyphoonBling, and yes even MalkMusian, banded together to raid and destroy yumifan's forum, which he had given adminship duties to Taylor1991 ahead of time due to yumifan foolishly believing that Taylor1991 was a good samaritan and that he would not abuse these privileges. It was this action that truly forced yumifan into his rage-mode, and when he really started to petition and rally the members of PMNM to fight back against Taylor1991. And while some agreed, some were neutral, and some were in disagreement. By the end of it all, each side was relatively equal in terms of numbers believe it or not. After many months of arguements and disagreements, Taylor1991 decided it was best to just kill the forum. And thus, in 2009, PMNM was officially declared dead. The war between yumifan and Taylor1991 did not end however, as it migrated to YouTube for a few months, eventually finally fading out sometime in 2010. Yumifan would go on to create a "false" Neo PMNM, which is still up as of today, but is beyond dead and salvaging. It was the loser's one last attempt at trying to be "something". Through all of this, unfortunately, Marisa started taking a backseat, and as a result, Taylor1991 spoke with her directly much less often, whereas before they would voice chat almost every day. It could be argued that this lack of direct communication also damaged their friendship. Which brings us to the next chapter...
Chapter 6: Post-Yumifan and Justin Era
After finally taking care of the Yumifan menace, Taylor1991 started trying to talk with Marisa more. However, the damage from not only the war, but also the previous actions, were really starting to take its toll on their friendship, and it got to a point where she would troll him behind his back, often rehashing dated 4chan memes to do so... yeah, she had a really wierd fetish for 4chan around this time I dunno. Anyway, in early 2010, Taylor1991 decided that after a couple years of friendship with her, it felt like the right time to try and show his appreciation for their friendship, so he posed a very difficult question... "What's your address? I want to send you a gift."
Needless to say, Taylor1991 was not expecting a serious answer. But lo and behold, after 10 minutes of waiting, She gave him a shipping address (Not a home address, and yes there's a difference.) and, after registering said address on a bubble mailer, the presents were shipped with the intention of making it to her around her birthday at the time. However, while it could be argued that this act is a sign of friendship, others would argue that this was a sign that Taylor1991 could be considered a "stalker". It was this doubt that would also start to poison Marisa's mind, and dormant memories of the last guy that tried to "stalk" her were probaly flashing through her mind at this point as well. However, there must have been some semblance of sense if she was willing to give this guy even a shipping address. Another argument could be made that at this point she no longer held any love for Taylor1991 and was "using" him to yank out one last freebie before throwing him under the bus.
Funny thing is, that's exactly what she did. Within a few months after receiving her gifts, she started getting serious with her blocking. Up until now, she would only block Taylor1991 if he made a stupid-ass comment(Which was well-deserved), only to unblock him the next day. Despite his past, Taylor1991 was always against blocking, even in jest. Unfortunately, she was not joking around this time. She seemed deadset on no longer wanting to be in communication with this guy, all because she thought that he was a "stalker". While we could devote another couple paragraphs as to why this line of thinking is totally fucking wrong, instead, let's just move on to the next chapter as we're getting pretty close to the present, finally.
Chapter 7: Facebook Bomb
Well over a year after the first perma-block, Taylor1991 tried many, many times to get back in contact with her in order to try and clarify that her assumptions were wrong and that their friendship shouldn't be like this. Believe it or not, the most cited example of why Marisa wanted to block him was because of the grand-scale penis prank which wasen't even exclusively directed at her. Just for the record, virtually everyone else that was affected by that prank is still in communication with Taylor1991 even to this very day(cited). However, there was still the fact that she used a false real name, "Amy Dutka". Feeling outraged and betrayed, Taylor1991 took it upon himself to post about the details of this argument on a message board, wherein he got multiple responses, most of which were in support of him(The obvious choice to make, given the circumstances). He posted Marisa's skype (lamikin) in the OP, which gave way for some of the posters to start making accounts in order to get answers and try to knock some sense into Marisa. Needless to say, this whole thing failed due to Marisa thinking that every new skype account was just Taylor1991 in disguise. The reality of it is, Taylor1991 himself only tried to personally contact her a few times after the initial 2010 block. Sometime in 2011-2012, some new, interesting evidence showed up in the topic after several months of inactivity. A seemingly-random facebook page simply titled "Marisa Hunt". Taylor1991 didn't think much of it until he brought it up to former PMNM member TyphoonBling in a facebook conversation, where they started comparing the older pictures of Marisa that she sent to Taylor1991(All of one photo, guys) to the pictures of the girl in the facebook account... and they matched. Not only that, but the personal info on her facebook account had ALSO matched... except for one detail: Her birth year. Previously, she had lied to Taylor1991 and told him that her birthday was in May 4th, 1991. In reality, she wasen't born until 1992. The reason for this lie is pretty obvious though, in order to get into "adult" websites. Completely unrelated to Taylor1991, yet he still felt hurt and betrayed that after such a long time of being good friends that he realized he had been lied and deceived to. Another former friend of Marisa's, Julian (BlazingBlueFish on DeviantArt), also experienced a similar falling out. In response to this, Taylor1991 made a post on the aforementioned topic that everyone was "free to harass the shit out of her". After such a hurtful revelation, could anyone really blame him? Needless to say, he still shouldn't have made that post, and it would come to bite him in the ass when Marisa made her facebook account completely private, thus shutting it off from the public eye (And not a single shit was given, arguably. She doesn't even use Facebook much).
Chapter 8: Post-Facebook Bomb
After the facebook explosion, Taylor1991 made another attempt to communicate with her during the tail-end of 2012, which just so happened to be the 5th anniversary of when they met. He succeeded, and the two managed to hold a decent conversation together, until Marisa again decided to block him, despite Taylor1991 trying to tell her that he was sorry for his mistakes and that the person he was today, is not the person he was in the past. Unfortunately, it seems Marisa still had a'lot of maturing left to do. It was around this time that she started becoming more serious with her streaming, and eventually she would join vinesauce, going inder the aliases "imakuni" and "pelikuni". You know what they say, old habits die hard. She now currently has over 2500 followers on her twitch account. Needless to say, she definitely seemed to improve as a person, becoming more social and less of a 4chan poser like she was back in the day. Yet she still has difficulty forgiving someone for sending her a picture of their penis. And that, kids, is as they say, that.
