SCHEDULE UPDATE: Taking some more time off
Added 2021-10-04 22:02:06 +0000 UTCFirst I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support over the last couple of days after I took some time off. I haven't had the chance to reply to comments and messages yet, but I'm blown away by the kindness and warmth you guys continue to show me and have always shown me.
It has been really difficult in the past for me to take time off, but recently I have been reflecting on the idea that I should take my own advice and try to honestly express what I need rather than trying to "All Might it." And while things have generally been great (I don't want to give the impression that I've been suffering, because I've thoroughly enjoyed everything, even the most difficult moments), there are certain areas of my life I've put on the back burner for perhaps too long, and I am now feeling the effects of those decisions and would like to take a solid chunk of time to get things straightened out.
TLDR, even though it hurts me somewhat to do this, I have decided to take the rest of the week off and resume the normal schedule on Monday.
I'm sorry for not announcing this earlier! I promise to resume videos on Monday and I will do my very best to get back to normal and beyond in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Love you guys

I'm deeply sorry but despite planning to have things return to normal this week, I am going to have to take some time off.
The reason is I am in emotional distress due to a handful of recent events. I was going to make videos anyway but I feel I can't in good faith try to focus on the episodes of the shows right now, even though in a way they're probably the best thing I could be doing right now.
I know my klondike bar debt has become near-insurmountable, but I do promise that things will work out as they always do, things will go back to normal, and I will have one hell of a story to tell when this is all over.
As always I love you guys even if I don't say it nearly enough. The kindness and patience you have shown me is deeply moving.
I more than anyone am looking forward to getting back to a state where everything is normal and I'm flowing again in all areas of my life. Until then thank you again for the patience and all the love.
Vids will resume on Wednesday with MHA, and be normal from there.

2022-09-20 00:39:55 +0000 UTCWow. 98%+ positive response ratio. You REALLY don't see that every day. @1Ak ShirtSon got dog piled pretty hard as a result tho. I recommend a restart of the FMAB reactions if you really feel you can't wait. They're juuuuust distant enough to rewatch :)

2021-10-09 03:26:28 +0000 UTCAgreed. Niche is a good way to describe it, his videos strike a good balance between commentary, personality and reaction. It feels very honest. A lot of reaction content is focused on hyped up exaggerations to scenes so people can relate. But I really like the analytical side of things too

2021-10-08 07:46:44 +0000 UTCI don't know where else to put this but since you seem to be enjoying Fruits Basket I'm gonna advocate again to include 3-gatsu no Lion on the next reaction poll. It's got such rich and nuanced characters, and every one is more engaging than the last. Definitely a show I think you would enjoy for the way it so effortlessly captures the subtle, often intangible feelings that come coupled with personal strife and complex interpersonal relationships.

2021-10-07 15:22:23 +0000 UTCJust saw two kinda mean comments, and while in light of all the positiv ones it doesn’t mean anything, I would still like to type out this comment and reassure you that you’re doing the right thing taking your time and we still love and support you. Personally, you are my coping mechanism, and while your videos are the thing I most look forward to when waking up in the morning, your content is just so great that it is on one hand worth waiting for, and on the other hand always worth a rewatch. That being said, I’m gonna go rewatch some Avatar reactions. Thanks a lot for everything that you do, and always put yourself first!

2021-10-06 23:36:22 +0000 UTCBro it's only a couple of days, no one here will think any less of you or lose interest in your content or forget about you while you take some time to rest, genuinely take all the time you need and don't feel anxious about taking more time off than you said you would, your health always comes first and everyone here understands that.

2021-10-06 23:08:37 +0000 UTCTake your time brother I would rather see your video when your firing on all cylinders, then for you to keep pumping them out and get burnt out. days off go by so fast so enjoy them while you can

Nick
2021-10-06 22:36:43 +0000 UTCTotally agree. Most of us give support for the patreon because we support the channel and him to begin with. It's always cool to see the comments reflect that without anyone being mad
Nick
2021-10-06 22:36:17 +0000 UTCIm glad you made the decision to take the break you need! Hope all goes well and you use this time to sort everything out ❤

2021-10-05 22:40:42 +0000 UTCI was in a similar but probably un-similar boat last week, so I feel that. Let it all out, get some distance from it, sleep it off, etc. as long as you need.

I don't know about every one else but I will gladly support you anyway I can even if its just sitting here typing and donating! Then that is what i will do! You have given us so much with the Attck on titan reviews to the my hero reviews that i can easily say I have gotten my moneys wroth and more.

2021-10-05 01:02:13 +0000 UTCIt's so refreshing to see such a friendly, healthy, and understanding Patreon community. I follow multiple people / groups, and the comment sections can get dark and brutal. Please take care of yourself, Alex. We'll be here when you're ready. :)

Francesca White
2021-10-05 00:00:52 +0000 UTCWe still love you Alex. I’m not keeping up with the shows you’re watching currently other than JJK and TYE but I’m sticking around for the long run, you’re one of my favorite and most genuine creators out there. As someone who’s had to recently cut a lot of things because of emotional distress I completely get it.

SystemOfADaniel
2021-10-04 23:45:58 +0000 UTCNot to toot your horn too much, but I think you fulfill such a specific niche as far as reaction content goes, that the people who have made it this far (subbing to patreon) are more or less here to stay. The days off just build anticipation for the days on. I hope your current emotional distress finds a way to foster later emotional growth. It always does in the shows. Be well
MikeWest
2021-10-04 23:40:19 +0000 UTCI second this, I will wait for Goodwin forever.

2021-10-04 23:37:59 +0000 UTCYou know your community. We all want you to take all the time you need to take care of yourself. We genuinely care more about you than the video you make. Your community is freaking epic, never forget that. You could be gone for 2 months, and still come back to everyone waiting. Do whatever you need to to make sure you are well.

2021-10-04 22:45:00 +0000 UTCThis is the best way to describe it imo.
Nick
2021-10-04 22:44:12 +0000 UTCIts okay, take care of yourself Alex. Trying to keep up an act that you are fine when you know you aren't is just an unnecessary extra emotional burden to deal with. Take the time you need.

2021-10-04 22:21:21 +0000 UTCYou definitely gonna need them, and a few more after Hanajima's backstory and "that episode" from MHA I hope you're doing fine Edit: I read the title while I was waiting on a traffic light and posted the comment, now that I read the full post: Take care of yourself, I really hope everything goes better and don't worry if you need more days than those 2
