100k!!?! Q&A Question Thread

Okay, first of all, thank you all so much for 100k subscribers. It means a lot to me and I appreciate everyone so much. I've been so excited all day. 


Also, I'm planning to do a 100k Q&A livestream tonight (or, very worst case scenario, tomorrow night). I don't know exactly what time since I've agreed to go out with my sister this evening, but I'll start it once I'm back and provide advance notice in the Discord server. 


Since patrons will get f...

NEW VIDEO UP: Double Standards and Diverse Media

Here, I talk about why leftist critic communities are often significantly harsher on marginalized creators who try their best and don't always perfectly succeed than we are on creators who don't try at all. Hopefully you enjoy!

I'm not dead! (New video soon!)

Hey guys, 


Busy busy month. Between three debate tournaments, being super sick, moving apartments, and all my classes, I've gotten a lot done in the last six weeks. Now that things have settled down, I've officially started writing my next video and I hope to have it out by next week! Stay tuned :)

New (short) video soon!

Hey guys, 

My next video will be a short Casual Review of the latest season of A Series of Unfortunate Events! For people who are new to my Patreon, I don't charge for the Casual Reviews, since less work has to go into them than a full video essay and I don't think it would be fair to charge the same amount for them.

I also usually don't do my special thank-yous to new patrons in them, since they tend to be shorter and get fewer views than my video essays. So, I will give an ...

Q&A Stream!

Hey guys! In about an hour, I'm going to do a short Q&A livestream to kick off the new year! People are welcome to ask questions in the stream, but I want to answer patrons' questions first, so if you have anything you'd like me to answer, comment it here and I'll address it first!

Exciting news!~

Nah, I'm not really starting an ASMR channel (thank god, because I do NOT have a pop filter). But, I do have a proper mic now, which means no more tinny laptop mic sound! And yes, it's a Blue Yeti, because apparently I am SUPER BASIC.

NEW VIDEO UP: Bad Media Criticism

My next video is finally up, in which I talk about "nitpicking" and "tear-down" channels, and why I think their contribution to the world of media criticism is negative. I hope you enjoy!

New video, "Bad Media Criticism", out soon!

I've been working hard on writing my next video! My last final exam is on Monday, which is also when I fly back home, so the video should be up on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Also, once I am free from the obligations of university, I should be able to put videos out a bit more regularly!

Patron Goal Discussion

So, as evidenced by my excited posting and the AMA stream I did today, I'm super happy about having reached 100 patrons. I wanted to talk with everyone and get all your input on my patron goal, which mentions doing monthly AMA livestreams. I'm more than happy to keep doing livestreams monthly if that's what people want, but I am a bit worried about running out of interesting questions to answer within a couple of streams. So, I'd like to ask everyone how they feel about how livestreams should be...

NEW VIDEO: CASUAL REVIEW - THE DRAGON PRINCE

A quick review of The Dragon Prince before we gear up for the next big video essay!


(Just as a note: $20+ patrons who I haven't specially thanked in a video yet, I will thank you in the next video! I wanted to wait and not do it at the end of a casual review and instead give a special thanks to people in a video that will get more views. I hope that is OK with everyone!)

NEW VIDEO - A Series Of Unfortunate Events: A Tale of Two Adaptations

My next video is now out! Hopefully it's sufficiently convivial, a phrase which here means "I really hope you like it".

Working on another video essay!

I'm going to be talking about a childrens' book series that was adapted multiple times, comparing and contrasting the multiple adaptations and why they turned out so differently. Hopefully it turns out to be a Very Fantastic Dissection...

Hey y'all!

How would you guys feel about me sometimes making reviews or video essays about books/comics/video games/podcasts/etc? Would you prefer I mostly focus on film and TV stuff, or branch out occasionally?
