This is a lot of information, sorry... so-- buckle up!
Wow, where to even start with trying to answer this... uhhhhhhh, well I guess I should start by explaining that the entire story of the yogscast characters all comes from playthroughs of modded minecraft (similar to the scripted-like story of Ya Dead Ya Dead’s finale and the ah fans’ interpretations of Sky Factory and other achievement hunter minecraft characters and lets plays). It sounds lame, I know lmao, but they’re actually quite a funny group of people and each yogscast character is interesting and has their own quirks/story.
Unfortunately, each grouping of characters kind of has their own set of series- Simon and Lewis (Honeydew and Xephos are their characters, respectively) are the main two characters and are the ones that started the youtube channel, Duncan later joins them and they become the main three yogscast icons, sips and sjin become the secondary two, and it goes on and on... This unfortunately means that there is... a LOT of content to dig through to get the basis of each character’s story and personality.
There are a LOT of different series and they’re all very long, so it’s difficult to find exactly how the stories all develop and come together. Some series are clearly scripted, others clearly not, depending on the people who are running the series. But it’s a really neat fandom to be a part of, and I really enjoyed getting to know each character and story.
I’ll give a basic outline of what the most important series are, but feel free to ask me more questions-- I LOVE talking about this kind of thing! This is a really vague overview, too, so I’m sure I left a lot of things out.
