South Park Season 12 Episode 4! (Canada On Strike)

Holy wow, the early YouTube and Internet video references are here, and ones I can actually remember and understand!

Almost silly how it started with Canada going on strike (whatever that means) and turned into "Let's list off all these old video references that some people will certainly understand and/or remember!" And oh boy did I! So many memories from a before time, that being 15-ish years ago. It really was a different time, wasn't it?

And don't even get me started on this M...

The Very First Episode of RaftCast!

Many months ago, a few of my community members and myself recorded the unaired pilot of my new podcast which I am calling the RaftCast (seeing as how a group of otters is called a raft it just made sense!).

But if you've already noticed, I typed in the unaired pilot of my podcast because it never saw the light of day, except for previously on Patreon. I cannot say exactly why there was so much time that occurred between the post of that first unaired episode, and this most rece...

I Finally Watched Murder Drones Episode 2!

You all know I've been providing reactions less and less over time, somewhat on Patreon and definitely on YouTube. I just want to be able to provide solid forensic and science commentary (like with Sam O'Nella Academy and LEMMiNO) or substantial writing commentary and analysis (like with Helluva Boss), and those reactions that don't fit that don't get reacted to, or stay on Patreon and never get published to YouTube...

This is not one of those cases.

I let people know in a pinned ...

South Park Season 12 Episode 3 Is Weird! (Major B00bage)

I wonder how many people will be able to tell which episode this is by the thumbnail alone?

I know South Park can get a little weird but this was stretching it even for me! Granted, it's still not as weird as that ridiculous Crab People episode, but still...

We haven't seen an episode focus so much on Kenny in quite some time; while the topic was certainly odd, it was a nice change of pace and made some sense with his character. Not to mention that the event that this episode was ...

Hunters Page 186!

At the end of the previous page Laruk observed as Nysha, Alina, Kalip, and the pups all laid down, with a few in some rather odd positions. Laruk does not understand even when Nysha asks her to join them, but she complies anyways.

Bakudo finally begins the tale...but the real story begins on the next page and I cannot wait to show you!

South Park Season 12 Episode 2 (Britney's New Look)

This. This right here...is one of the very few instances where I was actually left speechless and unable to provide some solid feedback.

I had a slight idea of what the episode may have been trying to shed some light on (regarding news outlets and media as they relate to celebrities), but I can only speculate. I'm sure there are some more connections relating to the elections, and definitely to Britney Spears herself, but I simply don't know enough!

Seriously. I-I don't k...

Reminding You of Exclusive Content! (July 31 Update)

Heya!

It's been fun providing longtime and new patrons with all kinds of great content, and I just want to remind everyone with a little post of all the early access and exclusive-to-Patreon only content that is available to those that are able and willing to support me! Thanks so much to all my patrons and I only hope that community continues to grow!

To make them easier to find, I listed in parentheses the tags associated with each of the posts! (tag sea...

Drawing An AMA, Batch 4!

Have a question you've been dying for me to answer? Just ask away here!

Hello my lovely patrons! I've been trying to see if people on YouTube wanted to ask any questions for another AMA...but no one responded! So instead I will ask here. Send me up to two questions you would love to have answered, I will put them in a poll in about a week and we'll go from there!

Happy questioning!

Hunters Page 185!

Ahhhh, yes! The story begins!

Well, technically that's not until the next page (as I suspected), but we're finally going to get some backstory, plus some unique way of telling it!

Plus, oh my gosh, that Mikka shot in the third panel is one of my absolute favorites as of late. She is so spunky and adorable and I absolutely love drawing her. Speaking of panels, anyone else confused by the last one? It's okay, my sister was too, and she's familiar with the comic as well!

South Park Season 12 Begins with Tonsil Trouble!

That's right, Season 12 has already begun! I mentioned near the beginning of this video that I think I would like to speed up South Park reaction material for Patreon. Though that's not a guarantee! I still have a lot of other projects to work on from editing gaming and art and forensic vids to patron video requests to commissions to comic pages. But having expressed an interest in wanting to play the South Park games, I still have 5 more seasons to watch before I can play the first installme...

South Park's Season 11 Finale, The List!

Apologies for delays! February got...interesting in a lot of ways.

Anywho, I managed to get some recording done recently, including finishing out reactions to South Park Season 11! The List was definitely an entertaining episode in various ways, but bringing back old jokes to giving some much-needed screen time to certain characters to introducing a crazy plot involving the girls of the 4th grade.

Now I wasn't the typical elementary student, but I can SORT OF und...

AMA Draw Strips #3

Oooooh boy! It's been a while since I've made some of these! Art Focus February really has given me a chance to remind myself of old art projects I hadn't worked on in a while, and this was certainly one of them.

The last poll was super easy; there were clearly 3 top questions between all the suggested ones, so I answered each one of them accordingly. For those unfamiliar, sometimes I will ask the YouTube community if there's any question they want me to answer. Out of those questions, ...

Hunters Page 184 (+WIP Images!)

Hiya patrons! I'm spending the week at my boyfriend's place (hence why there haven't been many patron posts or updates lately), but I have been able to spend a fair deal of time getting ahead on some art projects, including more Hunters pages.

Now since I haven't been at my own place I haven't had access to a scanner so I've had to use my phone to taker lower quality images of new pages (but that should be largely rectified by the next page!). That said, staying with my boyfriend and ha...

Hunters Page 183!

I have decided that I may have to alternate between publishing 2 and 3 pages a month, simply because it's become very difficult to keep up with 3 pages every single month, which is a slight bummer because I still have so much story left to tell.

But, regardless, the show must go on! And so it goes on with this new page of Hunters. Laruk offers the prey to the elder Bakudo, who graciously accepts and states his willingness to tell the 'youngsters' some kind of story. He cannot start, how...

South Park Season 11 Episode 13 (Guitar Queer-o)

I give you my reaction to the second to last episode of Season 11!

This episode has been quite a wholesome, especially regarding Stan and Kyle and, yes, even Randy of all characters! I wasn't expecting quite so many feels from this episode (mostly mentioned towards the beginning of the reaction), but there are definitely feels on my end.

Not only that, but I give you guys a brief display of some of my musical preferences (more specifically what I used to listen to as a ki...

South Park Season 11 Episode 8 (Le Petit Tourette) Is Actually Here!

I am finally and correctly caught up! I mean I still have two more episodes of the season to watch, but now there's not a random episode in the season that I had to briefly skip and watch at a later date for reasons.

So. This episode clearly focuses on a neurodivergent disorder that I'm sure lots of people have heard of (though I don't necessarily know if people were as familiar with Tourette's back when this episode came out...). Funny enough I actually have a little personal experienc...

Hunters Page 182 (+WIP Images!)

I will definitely be taking as much time in February to catch up on art projects, especially Hunters pages to ensure patrons are getting plenty of early access to new content!

He's finally here! I have officially introduced a new character into the story! Now I know I said that for the last page, and potentially even the one before that. But this time there is confirmation of the new character's name and some full-bodied drawings of his design thrown in the page. (plus, Nysha l...

South's Park's First Trilogy of Episodes?! (Imaginationland)

Well this is a first! Yes, the movie was considered a three-parter as well but that was ages ago! This is a literal trilogy of episodes that go in directions that I did not see coming. I mean, when it comes to South Park it's hard to see anything coming...but I unfortunately think I'm getting a little better at figuring out what to expect from this wacky series (no idea if that's a good or a bad thing).

Crazy things are happening in South Park's combined imaginationscape and it...

I'll Be Taking a Break in February!...Sort Of

Don't jump to any conclusions just based off the title, let me explain!

I know, I know, December was already very wonky and slow for a variety of reasons and it seems silly to take another break in February, but it won't be the same kind of break.

My art projects have really slowed down lately, especially regarding potential merchandise designs and items. I need to put more focus on finishing projects and merch designs but it is hard to do so when I already have to spend lots of t...

So sorry that these pages have been late! I hope to work on them some more in February especially, and I will be trying to get the next Hunters page to you before the first of next month.

He's here! It's finally time to introduce a new character to the comic that I've actually drawn twice before, once in a panel cameo, the other time through one of my Hunters headshots concept pieces. I also cannot wait to introduce his unique ability and how it plays into the story!

I'm Back To Writing My Story!

Well, one of my stories. I worked very hard on Awakening in the last few years especially. I finished writing out the first draft days before 2021 ended, and I managed to have all chapters reviewed and submitted to Wattpad before summer's end in 2022. But the second half of last year was complicated, busy, and rough in a lot of ways, and I wasn't really able to continue working on Awakening as a result.

Except I really wanted to get back into writing.

So recently I made the creati...

TV Series Review Poll! (Part 2!)

You all gave me a good idea of what shows you'd like for me to examine for a potential writing analysis video! I will be asking the public as well, but I would love your feedback more and would like to use it to start planning the first TV writing review video (which will take a while but I got to start sometime!)

Don't worry, my reaction to Episode 8 will come eventually! I just need to fix some things but since there was no botched reaction and I haven't watched the episode it will come at some point!

Until then just watch my reaction to Episode 9 which was...certainly weird, that's for sure. Seriously, it's probably on the whack scale ranked just about as high as that ridiculous Crab People episode. It still had its funny moments of course! But maaaaan this was certainly one of the weird ones ...

TV Series Review Poll!

I'd love to get some more writing-related content out this year, and while I have been trying to incorporate more writing topics in some of my games I'd like to push even more content out.

So I thought I'd do some kind of writing review on a show I am well-acquainted with, but I could use some help deciding which show to tackle for a writing review. 

To clarify, I am using these as my choices because they are serialized and have strong characters, worldbuilidng, themes, plots...

South Park Season 11 Episode 7 (Night of the Living Homeless)

Starting early January off with another South Park reaction for everybody!

Due to the slowness of December I will be pushing to publish at least 4 South Park reactions for patrons this month, so those of you supporting me should be in for a real treat in the next month!

I am honestly very surprised I had as much to say as I did, and on such what might be seen as a simple matter compared to other topics in previous episodes, though perhaps this matter could be a little more serious...

I've been busy with some art projects during my sick days in the last few weeks, but I should have put just a little more focus on new Hunters pages. I'd hoped a month break would give patrons a little more early access to new pages, but that did not happen...so I'll just have to work harder to get the pages out to you sooner!

I also apologize that there aren't as many work-in-progress images compared to most pages, but there could be a subset of you that do not mind that too m...

Rewind!!

Last year I wasn't able to make a rewind. And despite my vacation, Thankmas, and being terribly sick for a week all in the last couple of months....I was determined to create a rewind video for my channel!

This represents a look back on important moments and videos from both 2021 and 2022, since both years were very important in their own ways.

I can't wait for 2023 you guys! I hope you're ready too, both regular viewers and patrons like yourselves!

Sorry For Slowness and Delays!

Hello my lovely patrons, how are you?

I'll get straight to the point: Thankmas slowed me down a lot for video releases and editing, so that's why there haven't been as much content lately.

I will be busy the entirely of the next 3 weekends as I will be seeing my overseas parents again for the first time in...
