The Rest of Dec (ish) ❄️ Dec 16 - Jan 5

Hi everyone! Now that we're in The Week Before Christmas™️, I'm not certain about WHEN I can get reactions shared from now through to after Christmas! I need a bit more personal time leading up to Christmas to do Christmas prep work, so please forgive the "Here's what will be shared at some point over the rest of the month" post. 😂 It's just a lot easier for me that way!

While I've been busy still working on She-Hulk, Miles has been an editing machine with what's to come after that, so please give him a huge thanks in the comments! 😊

I had wanted to do a bit more for Christmas this year. I chopped two movies off my list and will do them for Dec 2025.

REMINDERS

UPCOMING ➡️ PRICE INCREASE ON WATCHERS TIER:

• On Jan 1, I'm increasing the price of the Watchers tier from $4 to $6 CAD/mo (in USD it will go from $3.50 to $4.50, I believe). This increase only affects new members, so become a member before Jan 1 to secure the lower price for as long as your membership is active.

UPCOMING ➡️ RETIRING THE EARLY INSIDERS TIER:

• On Jan 1, the Early Insiders tier will be unpublished, which means that nobody can join or re-join it. As of the time of writing this, there are 2 spots available. If you are a member of that tier prior to Jan 1 and never cancel, you will pay that price for as long as your membership is active and enjoy all of the benefits within. THIS INCLUDES ANNUAL MEMBERS TOO, so if you have cancelled your auto-renewal but still intend to stay here, you won't be able to re-join when that expires in 2025. Please double check that.

CURRENTLY ➡️ GIVEAWAY: 12 Months of Patreon Insiders Membership for Free

• You have until Dec 20 to enter this and thank you to everyone who has so far! The draw for the 5 winners will be completed on Dec 21. Anyone can enter, even if you're currently paying, just note that if you win you won't be able to redeem the gift until your paid membership ends.

  • If you are currently a member in the Early Insiders tier that will be retired at the end of the month, it may not be wise to enter the above giveaway as you will be required to cancel your membership in that tier in order to claim the free membership. I've looked into a way to avoid this, but Patreon has some platform limitations that make it difficult to have a solid workaround, unfortunately.

That's it, that's all! I'm honestly kind of excited for Christmas this year, which feels nice after what feels like many years of feeling "meh" about it. If you are feeling "meh" about it, I know that feeling all too well and I am wishing all the best for you. Remember to be kind, try and pay it forward in some way if you can!

I'll leave you with an ask for the comments. I posted this in my Discord server too.

How do you reflect on the past year? There is a method called “Rose, Bud, Thorn.” Here's how it works. Your “rose” for the year is something you are really proud of, or something that went really well for you. Your “bud” for the year is something that is not quite fulfilled or finished yet, but it is in progress and you are excited about continuing building towards. Your “thorn” for the year is something that was a challenge or an obstacle that you are working on overcoming. Share yours and let’s celebrate together all the achievements and momentum, and brainstorm on how to overcome our challenges.

Here's my Rose, Bud, Thorn:

🌹: Rescued Soka in the summer and she's become the bestest pal! And even though I was close to my next-door neighbours before we got our dogs, our dogs have made us closer, which has been awesome!

🌸 :  My plans for 2025 on the reaction channel, to switch things up a little bit and have more output due to editing some show reactions to share. I'm also excited about the games I am playing and will play next year.

🥀 : My scheduling and work-life balance continues to be one of the biggest challenges, but it's not a full thorn in my side as I do feel like I've made and continue to make good progress. That said, I've also come to terms with the fact that I may very well want to pursue the ADHD thing with my doctor in 2025, we will see.

Thanks for everything, y'all. 💛
