Dildosdildo123, also known as Mr. Captain Joe 69, (1979-2023) was a member of the Speakonia Community who was active during either the early 2010s. He was well known for crafting a variety of different videos, including Drew Pickles Goes To, Generic Gets Owned, and later on Blood-style videos. Perhaps he is best known for his incredibly talented art skills, as he has drawn Drew Pickles on numerous occasions for both videos and on his free time, in addition to making art for the furry fandom. Joe would continue to have a presence in both communities until his death in 2023.
History edit
It is unknown when Joe first got his start with the Speakonia Community, but he had an online presence as far back as the late 2000s. His first YouTube channel was under the name dildosdildo123. Very few of these original videos from his first channel seemed to have survived, save for 10 uploads that were made to his Dailymotion channel, with the earliest one dating to around 2011. After that channel was suspended, he would create a new one under the name Mr. Captain Joe 69 (the name likely inspired by legendary community member MrCaptainJeff), where a bulk of his activity would take place. Most of his video content consisted of Goes To videos, though there were a few one off and experimental videos, such as one where he introduced politician Barney Frank as a member of the Barney Bunch, as well as a few videos poking fun at evangelical extremist Fred Phelps (a common thing to do in the community at the time).
As mentioned prior, the one thing Joe was best known for was his many illustrations he made of Drew Pickles. These weren't like the usual Barney Bunch-style crude, shitposty MS Paint edits, these drawings were of the highest quality imaginable. Some of these were redraws of Drew's most iconic pictures, such as the still-frame from the Rugrats episode "Stu Maker's Elves" and the Tempo card pose, but the vast majority were wholeheartedly original, and were even featured in numerous videos by him and several members of the community. Even to this day members of the community tend to use his Drew art in their videos. In addition, he has provided many art pieces for the furry community as well.
During 2015, Joe would help several community members like Skewt and Prime8NStuff create a Barney Bunch community on Google+, in an attempt to unify the community after it had been fractioned for so long. Their efforts wouldn't be without obstacles, as they had to deal with anti-Barney Bunch troll Malcom Axel Norberts, though this would be resolved after Malcom made peace with the community. Joe would continue on with his endeavors during this time, though he would get in a small scuffle with Prime over the infamous Drew Pickles Autism Documentary. Being autistic himself, Joe took offense to the video, as did a few other members of the community who were on the spectrum, but he would reconcile with Prime and apologize for his reaction.
In 2018, the Mr. Captain Joe 69 account was terminated. In response, Joe would create his third and final account on August 19 of that year, where he would post new videos on addition to a few reuploads from his previous channel. These uploads were more sporadic in nature, though he would go on to experiment with more video styles, including the Blood-style videos which had been making rounds within the community at the time. Activity would gradually slow to a few uploads every now and then, as he was was busy with his art career and real-life matters. Joe would also create a VidLii account in 2020 and reupload some more of his older videos there.
In April 26, 2022, Joe uploaded a video threatening to commit suicide, which caused extreme concerns within the community. Thankfully, he uploaded a video the next day apologizing for the scare, as he was overwhelmed with work that he hadn't had much time to contribute to the community. He would also state the he planned on fully retiring, but would continue to make a few more videos, one of which was made for the Pube Muppet's 20th anniversary, as well as joining Tracle and the Speakonia Community Discord server. However, on August 24, he would upload a video stating that he was having trouble with his drawing hand, and linked several journals from his Fur Affinity account regarding the situation. A following update video revealed that he did go see a doctor, and that everything seemed fine on his end. Unfortunately, as revealed in one of his Fur Affinity journals, Joe would confirm that he had developed a brain tumor. Community members who likely weren't aware would learn about this on October 7, when he released a Gets Owned video on his brain tumor. This would in fact be his final Speakonia video to date. He would continue to work on art and commissions on the side for the time being.
On April 12, 2023, Joe would pass away from his battle with brain cancer. News about this would hit the Discord server after Girla Purpleheart linked a Fur Affinity journal written by one of Joe's siblings confirming his passing. The community mourned his loss, as he was an inspiration for many not just within the Speakonia Community, but to those who enjoyed his artwork on DeviantArt and Fur Affinity. Joe was beloved by the community for his videos and especially his art, being one of the very few members to actually draw Drew well and use said drawings in videos. He was truly a one of a kind.
