WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU CAN’T JUST CUT ME OFF LIKE THAT NOOOOOOO COME OOOOOOON

AAAAAGH THAT WAS SO GOOD THOUGH

I am really enjoying this show.  It kinda feels like starting Steven Universe all over again--stylistically and aesthetically it’s fun to watch, it’s funny, the characters are entertaining and likable, it’s fun to tease and makes great material for alt dialogue skits.  I’m really looking forward to seeing more of it as soon as I can.

That won't necessarily be happening immediately, though.  The patron who had me do She-Ra has ended their participation in that tier, so unless someone else picks it as their patronage pick (there’s a fresh slot open for that, if anyone’s interested) it'll be a while.

Or!

We actually still need to pick a replacement for Madoka Magica, which as I said will be on hiatus indefinitely!

As always, my patrons get to suggest shows and then vote on a list I provide, so if you’re pledged then get suggesting, but I'm gonna be adding She-Ra to the list of shows you get to vote on.  There’s a post up on my Patreon where you can suggest shows, so feel free to post ideas without actually casting a final vote, but I want you guys to know that this one's on the table.

Again, there’s a free slot in the “pick a show” patron tier on my Patreon!  If you’ve got a show you want me to watch, click this link and pledge!  People have asked me to post publicly when slots open up, and there’s only one open right now, so go snag it if you want it.

IN OTHER NEWS:

I am very unwell.

At this point it’s harmful to myself for me to pretend otherwise.  I am having the worst couple months I’ve had in years.  My Seasonal Affective Disorder is going haywire, one of my medicines isn’t helping as well as it should, I haven’t been able to afford to get the other one for a bit.  I’m suffering from insomnia, daily anxiety attacks, horrible self-worth issues.  I’m behind on bills.  My phone’s been off for weeks.  I’ve been dealing with Patreon disappearing some of my payout money all month and desperately trying to get the Minecraft server host to respond to my customer service tickets at all.  I’m stressed out of my mind.  I’m a mess.  I’m in the worst mental health state I’ve been in a long, long time.

The content I’ve been putting out for you guys has been suffering for quite a while because of my issues but those issues have really risen to a fever pitch of shittiness in the last couple months.  I’m working on the less tangible stuff in my life that you guys can’t really help me with, but...seriously, if anyone can help me monetarily, please, please drop by my donation box.  I need help, guys.  I’ve tried looking for work, but this tiny town’s dead, and even after brute-force applying everywhere in this town and the next one over (which I can only get to via a 45 minute bike ride) the only place that even called me back was a friend’s family-owned restaurant, which I didn’t do well at.  (It isn’t helping my state of mind that my parents keep telling me to just get a job in spite of the aforementioned job application saturation, let me tell you.)

Anyways, I won’t rant more about the state of my life; I let this go on too long as it is.  Things are tight all around, too--I won’t blame anyone for not throwing money at me if they need it themselves, but, please, if you can spare a few dollars, it’d help me a lot in digging myself out of the hole I’m in.  Whether any of you donate or not, though, I want you all to know how much getting to do this for you all means to me.  I have no higher purpose in life than to make people smile, and the fact I can entertain so many of you warms me up on the coldest nights.

Thank you.

IN OTHER OTHER NEWS:

I’ve recently reuploaded the movie commentary tracks I did with a friend in 2017!  Check them out here!

You should also go pledge to Gio, our Discord server maintenance tech, creator of Rubybot, and community Minecraft server overlord.  He deserves far more than I can afford to give him.

In the meantime, if you’d like more of me:

My Discord server, where you can come hang out with other fans!

My Twitch channel, where I stream Minecraft and miscellaneous games!

My Youtube channel, where you can check out past streams!

Our community also has a guild in Path of Exile, which launched their newest free expansion a month and a half ago!  Go check the game out, it’s a fantasy horror game that’s basically Diablo II with Materia and a Sphere grid.  If you want to join the guild, get in touch via the Discord server!  (The game’s completely free and survives off cosmetics, you really should try it!)

If you’d like to help support me financially (yes please, I’m stilling hurting from all the Patreon snafus of the past year) you can use my direct donation link to put some food on my shelf, or pledge to my Patreon if you want to support me per episode completed, which not only allows you to vote on what shows I do next, but also grants access to the Minecraft server I stream from to $5 patrons or higher!  

It’s your kindness and support that lets me do this stuff, and I wouldn’t be where I am without all of you to do it for.  Thank you all so much for your support, and for tuning in every episode!

I may have been one of the earlier Steven Universe liveblogs, but a whole community of livebloggers has sprung up over the last two years!   I linked to a bunch individually for a few wrap-ups, but honestly, this end-slate is already eight billion miles long, so I’m just gonna link to my links page.  Click here if you want recommendations of other livebloggers, or other neat people, or webcomics and podcasts that I recommend.
