❤️❤️❤️

1st, sorry for your losses and struggles ❤️, my goodness, thats a lot. If I'm not mistaken, the YT channel has , what seems to be, daily uploads as far as I can tell. But , to me , that's way too often , TOH. I would be thinking 3 a week is more than enough for me, as a viewer. Although you two are the sunshine of my life, I'm not so addicted. There's enough love to go around. I want you to be happy , joyous and free, to be safe, be healthy, and be what you need to be, when you need to be it. Being true to yourselves is why we love you. 🤗 P.S. even if you want to take time off to get high and lay around pool all day, thats also valid! I love you too Chad 😂. Thank you, thank you, & thank you.

Arson Stays Up Too Late Watching Video Tapes

Communication goes a long way. Appreciate you guys for taking the time to fill us in. Its sad in today’s day & age that consumers cant grasp the concept that most creators dont create full time. You have lives,friends, troubles, relationships, families & most importantly JOBS . You guys dont ever have to apologize for having lives! Id rather you guys focus on downsizing the content load to maintain quality & sustainability. So it stays fun for Arianna & Maple. You guys are why we tune in. We’d hate for you guys to get burned out & feel like its becoming a chore. Release what you guys can!

Girls I'm so sorry for all that you've been through :( I appreciate that you tell us this even though it is not you obligation to do so. I know you say we are strangers and we technically are, but I think I speak for many of us in the community when I say after all this time following you and watching you, we genuinely care for you and your wellbeing! Sending you big hugs and lots of love ❤️

Claudia S

Also, though some of us are always here to listen to you vent, don't ever feel like you owe anyone an explanation. And you never need to apologize.

Andrew Clifton

I Just joined a few days ago for Breaking Bad mainly and ive already decided Im here to stay. These things happen on every channel I've ever supported. I am terribly sorry for y'alls loss and I truly wish that you get through it alright. Anyone who has a soul wouldn't complain about schedule situations bc of this shit. I just got here but you guys are already in my top 3 movie and show reaction channels. I fucking love u guys. Don't ever change and always be who you are. Heart ❤️ I wish I could squeeze both you right now. 🙏 Stay well and keep your head up.

Andrew Clifton

Well, I just now joined your Patreon. You know why? I've been watching your content on YouTube for a long time, and recently realized how much I look forward to it each week. You guys really have lovely personalities. A joy to watch. And while I understand you're basically "on stage" in these reactions, I sense a real genuineness. That can be powerful. Otherwise, yes, deal with you personal lives FIRST. The world can wait.

LazyArtist

Y'all are the best, take all the time you need. l got chills listening to this Maple and my heart goes out to you and Arianna. It brought up a lot of bittersweet memories having lost a brother a number of years ago who was only 35.

sean

Hope you are doing better. ❤️

Chris Bruneau

Same to you, thank you xxx

T.wiley

THANK YOU EVERYONE. Going through and reading these comments truly made my day. The kind words and understanding truly mean a lot. 💕💕💕

Arianna

Sending so much love 💕

Arianna

So very sorry for both your losses. Don't worry. We'll be here.

Rick Glassman said it best in one of his recent podcasts (paraphrased): if someone cuts me off in traffic and then waves to apologize, they not only redeemed themselves but now I want to go have a drink with them and be their friend. This video alone makes me want to subscribe. That aside, I felt like you guys post more than almost anyone else I subscribe to. An episode per week per series should be the barometer. If you can't make that, don't stretch the timeline, drop a series. And my last suggestion is to do a weekly Q&A show. Not live, take Q's from a weekly post and screen them. For example, maybe you don't want me to ask about your other passions, even though I'm dying to 😉

Donkey Lips

Do not apologize for this. Life happens, please take your time and take care of yourselves. Y'all have done great in providing content, and I am sure others can agree. Thank you.

jo and joe

Hey ya'll are awesome. For whatever reason its just chill to occasionally watch your reactions on a chill weekday and vibe with your emotions on these stories. But you do you, take care of yourselves first your top priority. I'm sorry life is hurtin but it'll get better in time. Cheers

Fernando Paiz

My condolences to the both of you and your families, we all appreciate the communication and we completely understand and support you guys through this difficult time.

Mac Jones

Please don’t apologize! Y’all are amazing and should always take the time you need for life events. Always!

Nicky D

You put out tons of content so delays for real life aren't an issue. I agree with some folks that instead of a large number of shows, there should be a bit more focus with more episodes watched per week. I think 2 per week for hour long shows it good enough to keep things rolling along at a decent pace. Other than that I have nothing to add. You have done a great job and you don't need to panic about real world intrusions. I doubt there are too many people who would complain. It shouldn't be enough to effect your bottom line.

TigerMyth

I don´t even know how you guys can keep it up considering what is going on, i am very impressed with the resilience and work ethics. Please wish her well for us.

sablo

TLDW?

Christophe

Hey Maple. Hope your doing better today.

Its_Me!__Waffles

With love 'That was my bad I enrolled in school' shouldn't be a scentence-- Ya'll do what you need to do, the stuff you make is definetly something I look forward to each week, but it arrives when it arrives, happy to support even when you need time off, from firsthand experience loved ones, schooling and especially mental and physical health, comes first, always. <3

Georgia Jones

Aww yes thank you. As long as my family are doing ok and are happy then I will be x

T.wiley

It can definitely be tricky to decide what or how much information to share with people that you aren't personally close to. You guys have to do what is right for you there. I'm sorry life has been throwing difficult things at you and I hope you are able to take the time and space you need for yourselves. As far as content is concerned, you guys put out more things than I can keep up with. I would say you're more consistent than average and it's fun and entertaining content. Thank you for all the effort you have been putting in with everything that has been going on and please don't feel bad taking whatever time you need. Wish you all the best.

tastycrescentroll

Thank you for this and also you're totally spot on we have talked with everyone and want to get ahead on things almost exactly how you described

Chad Gloria

Thank you Chris I appreciate you passing on the positive sentiment your boss also gave you and I am sorry for your loss - people sharing their experiences certainly is helping ease the vulnerability of it all.

Chad Gloria

I'm sorry to hear about your Nana I hope you've been doing okay - Maple

Chad Gloria

We all hope you're okay and hanging in there too

Chad Gloria

I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t have even really noticed a lack of content besides community messages, especially since you all tend to release soo much in a week. I’m just now catching back up with Breaking Bad reactions lol. Y’all have skyrocketed up my rankings of favorite channels, and I can tell how hard y’all work. Take care of yourselves and we’ll be eager to watch again when you’re ready. 🤗

DDK

If you guys are planning to return after only 1 week thats very admirable. My pregnant sister died and the family was in shambles for months. She sang solo's in the church every sunday and my parents decided to play those on repeat on the livingroom tv for a week straight. I began to develop nightmares. I wish the best for you guys and hope you take the appropriate time to heal

TinCan Cosmanaut

Communities support each other. You do not have to apologize to us. Just take the time you need. i know from hard experience these events can be hard in ways it is impossible to explain. Speaking individually, I pay for this as a show of support as much as anything. I figured there is so much you have to do to fit these reactions into your day to day lives that you deserve what support I can provide. Please don't take my support as a burden, especially int a time of sorrow. My condolences for you losses.

Stephen B Baines

I think you’ll find that we all love you guys. You have all become apart of our lives and we love the content you give us. You don’t have to apologize to us. We all only want the best for you all and we all understand. You’re guys reactions brought us to your channel, but its your genuine personalities that kept us here. Take the time you all need. On behalf of myself, thank you for all that you, Chad, and Arianna do. We will all be here for you when you guys. Much love and peace.

Ferrell Slowtalker

Please do not be so hard on yourselves you guys put out SO much content! I feel bad that y’all even felt like you had to share so much about your personal hardships because you felt like this channel was being inconsistent. Trust me, there are some truly inconsistent channels out there but this isn’t one of them so please do not stress about that! Take whatever time you need and return when you’re ready, any reasonable person will understand.

Katie

Sending much love. We understand take all the time you guys need

Pooofy

Please look after your mental health. Love and hugs to you, Arianna, Chad, and the entire team.

Silver Hawkins

Please take all the time you guys need. No apology needed. I will be looking forward to more reactions whenever you guys are able to return

Blkm44

I've been following quite loosely lately since y'all seem to be doing shows that I've never seen (animes and the like), but I'd honestly thought your content output was insanely large. I had even thought you and Ariana had quit your day jobs since there was so much content coming out. Speaking for myself I'm continuing to get enough for my patreon contribution even though I'm not watching a lot of your videos. My condolences for your losses.

Dee Aitch

First, sorry for all the loss. It sucks and I too was once in a run when it went bam, bam, bam. Being straight forward on what you're comfortable in sharing is the best and appreciated policy. I am sorry it is your turn for life crashing down on you. You all will get through this. It just sucks. Wish you the best and please take your time to grieve from everything if housing problems to death of sibling where it's just to soon for. Please take care of your mental health.

ZitherManifesto

I'm saddened to hear about your losses, please don't feel bad about missing some reactions. You don't need to feel bad about taking time off for funerals. Anyone who unsubbed as a viewer for being late was just an asshole. Fuck those guys, I've had some real bad losses and you just need some time to get back to normal. Take all the time you need.

Owen Kosik

I feel I speak for a number of people when I say we subscribe to the channel and the Patreon for content, but also to support you three for making the content we enjoy and being bright spots in our days. Regardless, I can imagine there’s always a sense of pressure in your positions and there’s always gonna be no pleasing some people no matter what you do. The majority know you care about the community and your content, but you have lives. Live them. And keep doing your thing. We all subscribe and tune in for a reason :)

Aust

You guys are amazing people, all three of you, and I've gotten such a lot of pleasure out of watching you over the last year I've been following your work, and the months in which I've been a subscriber. You might feel like we're all strangers here but we're human beings and you guys are human beings and as someone who is in the new media myself I know that you can push yourself way too hard at times and ignore the things going on in your own life. Please, take your time, get back on an even keel and then, and only then, come back to us. You guys are fantastic people and awesome content creators. I'm personally happy to keep on supporting you far into the future, as long as I am able, whether you are banging up the regular content with the same regularity or not because it is always quality when it is up. Best wishes to Chad and Arriana. You take care of yourself too Maple, and thank you for coming on and sharing that with us. We all appreciate the efforts you've obviously been making for longer than you should have had to. Never feel like you can't be honest with us about what's happening with you.

James Forrest

Like Jesse from BB would say "That's just life yo"

Scott Lindsey

lol you guys dropped 4 Ted lassos today. I’m good.

MJ Eid

You all have been a great help in distracting from life’s daily troubles and providing a source of joy here and there each week. Take the time you need to grieve and get through the storm, we’ll be here ready to react with you when you’re back. Thank you!

turkeynut

Subscribed to the channel for reactions… which means I’m absolutely over the moon seeing the reactions of pure love in the replies. Fucking life, man. Cant blame people for life. You can only show love. Take care of your hearts, please.

JLee

I binge watch, so I'm happy to just get the content when it's there. However, I will say that because I binge watch I tend to cycle the people on Patreon I follow depending on content. You guys are the only exception to that, you guys I just let the subscription roll because I want to support the content, I hope you get bigger, I hope you get into the position where it doesn't make any sense to not do this full time. Because you guys are the best I've found at doing this. You know when to be quiet and just "react", but when you do speak it's never just filling up dead air for editors to cut to, it's always funny, interesting or insightful... musical interludes not withstanding. ;) Most people who react tend to detract from the content, you guys add to it, to the point where I watch things I had zero interest in because you guys reacted to it. Case in point the Mission Impossible movies, I would have never watched those on my own. I'm hoping one day you do the Fast and Furious movies because despite being a cultural staple, they look terrible, so there's no way I'm doing those on my own. Point being, you guys are great, so whatever you feel you need to do to keep being great, you should just go ahead and do that. I have no idea what to say regarding your losses, everything I could say just feels like an insignificant cliché, I'm just sorry you're going through this, and hope you're okay.

Woz Lee

Grief is tough. Stay strong. You’ll find your way through.

Grand Moff Slackin'

As others have said, it's not so unusual for there to be gaps like this on Patreon. I've been subscribed to others who ghost for months with no explanation. I'm just sorry to hear that you've been getting complaints. Your personal well being comes first, always.

b00ey

I see human beings who are dealing with some very difficult things, and we are not owed any explanation. You are more consistent than many other Patreons that I support and provide way more content than other channels. Grief is so complicated, and I don't know either of you but the fact that you have even tried to put out this entertainment for us is appreciated. I hope, more than anything, that you all are taking care of yourselves. Nothing is more important than that. Losing family is a deep wound that I am very familiar with, so I only feel compassion for you both dealing with that. I hope that there is only a vocal minority who are making you feel any sense of guilt about any of this because it's a voluntary choice to be here and I don't know about others, but I'm sticking around.

Sara Something

I'm going to echo the sentiments shared by most others in here. I know that appeasing the algorithm is a fulltime churn, but for myself, as someone subscribed to the Patreon and supporting you all directly, YOU DO NOT OWE ME CONTENT AT THE COST OF YOUR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING! I joined this community and patreon because I enjoy sharing in the magic of cinema with you wonderful people, because you are wonderful people. Seeing your empathetic natures engage with the emotions created through film and television is the magic of this channel. In order to maintain that, I think the most important thing is for you all to be in good, healthy places. You pump out a LOT of content, which I appreciate and enjoy, but I do not NEED it constantly. Make the content when you can, both from a scheduling and a health perspective. I also appreciate your willingness to share and and be vulnerable with us as a community, because I know that can be difficult, but again, I do not feel entitled to knowing the details. All I need to hear from you is "hey, shit's rough for us right now, and we may need to sow down for a bit while we recover", and I will simply be happy to know that you are taking the time that you need to care for yourself. Arianna has my condolences, and I hope she is able to take the time she needs to grieve. And Maple, I very much appreciate you taking it on yourself to share and communicate with us. I am subscribed because I enjoy supporting you all, and if that means supporting you to take some time to heal or grieve, I am happy to do so! Hope everyone on the Diegesis team is taking care and knows how much we appreciate you all as a community.

Breck Polk

OMG, please take more time off if you need to! This is a fun channel and i love watching my favorite shows with yall, but family and mental health should come first.

Ray Johnson

I have been working at the same place for 18 years. I have never felt the need to apologize to deal with sickness, death, vacation, et cetera. I feel in America we overprioritize productivity over wellness, and the ironically that negatively affects productivity. Don't ever feel bad for doing what you need to do. You deserve it. We all do. I am lucky I am in a position I can take care of myself and would never react negatively to someone doing the same. FYI, I haven't noticed a change, but if there was a change, it is understandable. I am sorry for Arianna's trials. Thank goodness for family and close friends who can support each other.

Leenis

It breaks my heart to see that you think you owe me/us an apology. I appreciate the transparency and explanation but apologizing for being late with content because your loved ones are dying does not sit right with me. Please take care of yourselves and please let Arianna know that it‘s okay. I‘ll still be here when you‘re ready.

RX2904

I just joined Patreon but I've followed your YouTube for a long while now. You guys dont need to apologize for being human and grieving ! You clearly try your best and you obviously do have your own lives outside of this. People need to understand that. I'm so sorry for your losses 💝

Terrell

No apology necessary! And anyone that makes you feel like it’s necessary or that you owe anyone this level of vulnerability is not someone you want being part of this community, honestly.

Josh Hinrichs

No worries whatsoever. Take care of yourselves and we’ll be here when things line up.

Ian Forbes

HOW DARE you guys be human and have life events happen completely outside of your control? Like everyone else is saying this is the most unnecessary apology, anyone who doesn't understand you guys needing time or wanting privacy can kick rocks. I'm gonna take it a step further and say, even after Ari is good and ready, you guys should take a couple days off for yourselves.

The Fool

I appreciate the transparency and I'm so sorry that's happening, but I'm confused because the schedule hasn't been that bad. One channel I subbed to took an unannounced 3 month break. Another has no schedule, you get the videos when they feel like uploading haha. At the top end you have channels like Blind Wave that almost never miss schedule, but they have an entire team of people working full time in a dedicated office space, 4+ on-screen reactors who can cover each other etc. I really wouldn't sweat it, we all understand you're part-time reactors with jobs and lives and troubles and stress. I might even go further and say: take a planned 2 week break, or longer, give you all and Arianna especially some real announced downtime. At the end of the day, we send you a tiny amount of money in exchange for some reactions. It's not that deep, it's not worth creating serious stress in your life over while dealing with grief and other issues. If people can't empathise, if they're being horrible because they pay you $5 a month, they're in the wrong. I'm sure you've already thought of lots of solutions but my pitch would be: try to batch recordings more to allow for more planned breaks, take a hiatus/holiday once or twice a year that's announced in advance so patrons can prepare, (very slowly + carefully) get as far ahead as possible, like 4 weeks would be amazing if possible to account for unplanned disturbances. Don't burn out! Be well! 💖

Kara

I have been a fan of this channel for over 2 years now. I follow the girls on Instagram and support them on patreon because I enjoy the content and Chad's production quality, and even though I'm just a fan-- when I see them reacting, its like seeing old friends. So, its clear to me that Arianna is going through a VERY hard time--my God, two family deaths in two weeks has to be a horrific emotional gut-punch. That being said, I cant speak for other people, but I don't feel "entitled" to weekly material, and I respect that your personal lives have to take precedent, When Arianna is ready to come back, the true fans, like me, will welcome her with open arms. Until then, my heart goes out to her and her family. I hope she finds some comfort in knowing that the fans will keep her in their thoughts and prayers. When I lost my Dad, my old boss said to me; "I dont want to see you in the office until you're ready. Now go take care of yourself" wise words

Chris Bruneau

Appreciate the transparency. Hope you both take care of yourselves.

SavageDiplomat

Like most are saying there's no apology needed. Those that don't like it can unsubscribe. Also my nana has just passed and was also a big part of my family's lives. The biggest condolences to you both for your loses, it's never easy xxxx

T.wiley

While I appreciate the apology it is completely unnecessary. Life isn’t scripted so things happen unexpectedly to all of us that change our focus for better or worse. I love the fact that you are pursuing your education and improving your life outside the channel. My condolences to you both and best wishes for you.

alonso torres

I appreciate what you both (and the entire production team) do for our entertainment. And I definitely appreciate this explanation and vulnerability, but I don’t even think it’s fair to expect this from you all. You are regular people just like us and it’s unrealistic to expect you all to never experience real life problems/situations that interfere with the filming schedule. My condolences to you both. I hope you all take as much time as needed to heal and grieve. The shows and movies aren’t going anywhere. 🤍🤍

FW27

The most unnecessary apology. You both deserve the space you need to grieve and breathe and decompress. Losing a loved one is a hard thing to deal with. Sharing things like this is hard. Much love to you and Arianna.

Eric Wallace

Please just take the time to look after yourselves, both mentally and emotionally. The channel will still be here, the community will still be here. Take all the time you need.

Olive_Sandy

I'm only here for Breaking Bad, but totally understand the blows of life, as I'm losing a beloved pet. Hang in there.

Terri

Just finished the video and it means a lot to me and hopefully all of us patrons for the honesty! I've been rather content with the frequency of uploads but it means a lot that our support means a lot to you guys. Sorry for the recent losses! Take your time and hopefully soon things'll be great 👍🏿

SabotheHunter

I can only talk for myself but the way I see it you guys are artists. You can't force art, you give from overflow or burn out. Everything is hard for everyone. Everyone should understand. We're all human, this isn't NBC, personally I didn't sign up for the tight programming. I'm grateful for all the hours of joy I've had with you two. You two are just wonderful people. I'm very sorry for everything that's been going on. Godspeed on your journey through the valley of Shadow of Suck. Be better at not trying to be so good 😜

Todd Bell

There's nothing y'all need to apologize for in my opinion. Life and family comes first, always. Take your time, only share what you're comfortable with. Personally I don't feel like my sub is wasted here, you guys have so much content it'll take me months to catch up lol Much love, take care and stay strong!

Witchy

💜

Christian Walker

Meh. Shit happens. It's fine. No apologies necessary. We'll still be here. Take all the time you need. Hugs, and sympathies for both your losses💚

Diiirk706

I dont speak for everyone here but I'd like to think all of here understand that life happens, schedules change and things can fall in unexpected way. There are a lot of reactors that take fans of themselves for granted, never have I once felt that way personally. You owe us no explanation nor apology. While I'm here I just want to thank you, watching your reactions to some of my favourite shows can really spark the excitment/enjoyment I've felt watching these shows for the first time. I am incredibly sorry for both of your losses, I hope you both take the time you need

laluneodyssee

No problem. Appreciate your sincerity and I myself totally understand. It’s all love. Whatever you guys needs to do, just do what you gotta do and the loyal fans and viewers like myself , will ALWAYS understand. It gets hard at times for all of us. I am sorry to now hear about the deaths and passings in your lives. It always hurts when loved ones move on to a higher plain. No need to apologize for anything but I respect your truths and putting yourselves out there for us to understand, even though it hurts the most to share vulnerabilities. So from bottom of my heart, as a fan I’ll always be there for you both as much as I can and show as much support as I possibly can! Honesty is always key. You both are BEAUTIFUL and STRONG women! Any obstacle that comes along, YOU BOTH WILL MAKE IT THROUGH. just always keep ya head up and just know that, once again, myself and your fans will always be here and we know that things will get better,……….BECAUSE THEY WILL. Love ya both and will be waiting. 😁💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘😘😁☺️☺️☺️☺️
