BIG NEWS + UPDATE!

FINALLY!!!. I loved this comic and I can’t believe Zoophobia is returning. In an animation no less. I just hope it’s voice acted and not too short. And I really hope there is a chance we can get new and more Zoophobia stuff in the future after this. Very excited. 👍

Matthew Bradley

Keep your head up! Ignore the people who try to bring you and your creative talent down. They are a vocal minority who don't matter and the amount of fans and friends you have outweighs the negative tenfold. You're doing great and I look forward to your future works.

Nothign wrong with securing ones mental health and well being. You and your team did awesome work last year, cranking out 2 pilots and a short on Xmas. You deserve a little break for the work you all did. I'm excited about the idea of a Zoophobia comic now <3. Looking forward to that. Keep up the great work. <3

Savage Shark

I'm so sorry about your current mood, but please don't feel down or stressed by negativity; you are doing a wonderful job with Hazbin and Helluva and all your other works! Take time to relax and care for yourself, look at the bright side rather than the bad internet stuff where it won't hurt you. I guarantee you'll feel better soon!

Take your time with your mental health, it is worth it. I've experienced my fair share of issues, and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. Once you are through the haze you will be back doing what you love, and loving what you do. Maybe it's just me but social media seems to be the most toxic place on the internet, so if the people commenting/posting aren't putting out positivity or constructive criticism, then all they are doing is whining. Give that a hard nope. I loved both Hazbin and Helluva btw! Both for the art style and the characters personalities :D

Willit Dark

Sorry to hear you've been down. Hope things turn out good this year!

Depression and anxiety suck, so I hope that you get all of the love and support that you need to get through it rather quickly. On another note, the projects that you've mentioned so far sound really awesome and I'm super excited for it all. Try not to stress out too much over everything though.

My friend just showed me Hazbin and Helluva Boss and... well, please, PLEASE make this happen! This is on a SUCH different level compared to what I expected/used to see in animtaion in general. With 22 mln views I hope you can safely assume a Kicktarter project is going to allow you to make this right without dying from exhaustion AND retaining full production control over the end product.

I'll be honest, I hope the first season of Hazbin is made with kickstarter partly because of the creative control you'll have over the project making it as good as it can be without any higher ups putting their input in potentially messing with a good thing like they're sometimes apt to do, but also because of what I imagine could be awesome perks could be attached to it. Like plushies, shirts, maybe a Blu-Ray release of the entire first season, or that same Blu-Ray signed by cast and crew. But in the end, as long as the show gets made and it's made completely in your vision, I won't complain.

Pixel Grip

It's alright! We understand your statement and we hope you get to feel better and wish you get to have this year as the best year for you. Take care and be safe ♥️

I'm sure many of us completely understand the struggles with mental health and how hard it can be dealing with it. We completely understand if you need to take some time off to get to a better mental state. The last thing we want to do is to have you burned out. So take all the time you need with your work! Your mental health is more important than all else. ^^

Sorry, I have to post one more. Regarding negativity on the internet. I am vaguely aware there has been some controversy over HH. Personally, I make a point of not wasting my time reading up on internet stupidity, so I honestly have no idea what it's about. I have, however, seen the HH pilot, and will probably watch it again. And it is a product you can be proud of, in every conceivable way. If anyone had moral objections to any part of it, I can't for the life of me understand why. I have now written two paragraphs on the subject (as seen above) which is two more than I has planned to dignify it with, but I thought I should be supportive.

Mattias Carlstedt

Hey there... I frankly was astonished at the sheer volume of work you have put out lately. Even just managing to bring Hazbin Hotel to fruition was a herculean task... an independent creator corwd-funding an animation that is, in every single detail, as good or better than anything a professional studio could make. And before the astonishment had died down, there was helluva boss and MORE CONTENT and I was taked aback. I wore my Hazbin t-shirt to a convention the other day, and thus found another fan to discuss it with. We said, jokingly "hope Viziepop does not burn herself out at this rate." Plese, do not make that joke a reality. You have done unbelievable things, but it's ok to be human. WIt's OK if there is a delay or two, we understand. Just take care of yourself. After reading this, I wish I could somehow just give you a big, warm hug.

Mattias Carlstedt

You’re such an inspiration to me ❤️🥺

Always take care of you first. Without you, we don't have anything, If there are folks out there who don't understand that, then fuck em.

Angelina

you don't need to apologize for taking care of yourself! What you do is very stressful! take it easy and make sure you stay a float! the rest will fall into place!

Take care

FeildMarshalJAC

Please take care of yourself. I know that the voices of hate can be booming and soothing voices quiet, but you have done amazing things this year. Please take time for you and feel better.

Latissha

Hope you start to feel better going into the new year Vivzie. I know those feels. You and your teams work has been a refreshing change that I have been wanting for years in the mostly PG-13 era of the last decade or more. Will always be looking forward to more from y'all but self care should always come first. I'm always patient for quality content. Take care :).

Zombiepuppet

Lots of love from all of us here on Patreon

Feel better soon!! We’ll all be waiting patiently for you to get better and enjoy your holidays!! We’re behind you, 100%!!

Kata Clawson

I hope you feel better soon! Mental health is super important and self care is the best care! Wish you the best, and happy new year!

❤🧡💛💚💙💜💓💗💕

Please take your time to care for your mental health, rest and have fun, you deserve it. Thank you so much for your awesome content, and I'm really excited to see more of what you and your team make. You will always have my full support and love. A happy new year to you, your team and this community.

I tend to have ups and downs, and my strategy has been to hold back my high phases to plummet less into my lows. It doesn't always work, but even being aware of it grants me more-or-less agency over it. Another thing to consider is burnout - I had a very mentally taxing job a few years ago, I felt very invested and responsible, and I was exploited with overtime, spread of work scope and it absolutely MURDERED my creativity, so much so that in my despair I wiped my 20 years of unpublished works from my hard drive - game concepts, short stories, a novel, flash multimedia, graphic designs, memes, game maps, mods and campagns - EVERYTHING. As you would expect, it solved nothing and I had to quit and find my current job and spend 4 years here to work up my creativity to the level where I can get creative and inspired again. So if you feel over- or underwhelmed by your obligations, do take a step back and do look for ways to relax and recharge, because motivational exhaustion can severely impact your creative abilities. I hope this is will reassure you. Cheers! ;3

We love you girl!

M.K. Haddan

Vivienne you should take care of yourself

M.K. Haddan

Are we going to see more stuff from Holidaze? Also do Jangle’s friends have names?

M.K. Haddan

Is Jingle a boy or a girl? Same question for Jangle and aren’t they from Zoophobia? Did they become their own separate thing like Hazbin?

M.K. Haddan

I can't imagine the kind of pressure that comes with launching multiple projects and gaining so much popularity so fast. Please don't feel any pressure from me (even though I'm just one patron) I know this stuff takes a lot of time and hard work (and it definitely shows that you work hard to make your projects top notch) so I don't mind the wait! And I'm sure many others feel the same.

ninniku

You just take your time on your work. Mental health is super important and you have to be in a proper state before you get back all the way into working. Enjoy your new year and good luck with the plans!

Take care Vivi! Happy New Year!

WhiteGlint211

Please take all the time you need for yourself. Mental health is important and should be #1 priority. I'm currently in a mental hospital myself bc of depression and stuff. Looking forward to what you'll do in 2020 of course, but you take care of yourself first! :)

Please take care of yourself first Viv!

So stoked to hear you're prioritizing your mental health!! Thank you for everything in 2019, we are all so excited for 2020 :)

We totally understand and support you 1000%. Just do what you need to do for yourself first and we faithful fans will wait when you're good and ready to produce. Don't stress. You're far too creative, talented and wonderful for that. Happy New Year!~

Improcomics

Take care of yourself first girl! We're all here behind you!!

Take you’re time. Know that we’re all behind you and that you are an incredible human making incredible things. I’m happy you taking some time for you. We will all be here when you’re ready. Have a wonderful New Years! ❤️ 😊

I hope you're feeling better now. Nothing wrong with looking out for your own mental health, that's important. You always do amazing work, never let ppl who spit out the negativity and venomous bile get to you. You have a talent they only wish they had. It's great you're already in the works for new stories on all your projects. Continue to have fun with it and enjoy the ride. <3 Stay awesome Vivzie. Just know your supporters got your back. Keep doing what you love.

Savage Shark

Looking forward to it all! Be sure to take care of yourselves through everything

Boss Tweed

Thank you for the hard work. Love everthing you do and wish you the best of luck :) Take care of yourself and hope you don't push yourself to much ^^ hoping to enjoy your work for more years to come ;)

Don't worry Viv about it Viv! What matters most to us is that you're taking care of yourself! We appreciate all the hard work you're putting into Hazbin and Helluva and we can't wait to see whats in store for both!

We understand, take care of yourself ok? We love you ^^

Strikerenno

Just remember, no matter how hard you try there will always be people who look only at the negative side of peoples work. They seek out any flaws or give horrid feedback in order to undermine and degrade your work and the works of others. It is best to ignore those types of comments because they don't care. They are not giving constructive criticism and have a tendancy to take things out of context or just out right are not paying attention to the full scope. These people start fires intending to burn away the person reading them, and will consume you if you let them. However just remember that where there is hate, there is also support. Focus on your dreams and goals and let your loyal fans be your wall from these flames.

Michael Laws

Take care of yourself dear. We aren’t wanting you stressed over us. As for enjoying the holidays. I’ll start enjoying them when my country stops burning from the government’s lack of care ad the arsonist

Shadow Scale Cosplay

Do not worry Vivienne, we are all here to support you and the work you post is really good. Yes, we have other options when it comes to funding artists and animators, but we choose you because you demonstrate and show determination and I would not mind supporting you on Kickstarter. Do all that you can, we know you’ll deliver and show you care about us. Thank you for everything you post and art you produce. I started following you since 2017 and you helped inspire me to be an Animator. Don’t give up and if you need help I would love to help you out with future projects and animations. I’ve been drawing your Zoophobia characters for quite a bit. Sorry for getting off topic, I love your art and animation style, much better than what’s on tv now a days. I prefer your animations than most big major studios. Again I thank you for all the work you put in and remember. All of your loyal fans and patreons are here to admire and push you forward in achieving your dreams and reaching success.

It's okay, Ms. Medrano, no need to apologize. It's a busy and stressful time of year for everyone, and it'd be unfair to expect you to get everything done right away. Your health is our main concern; just please, focus on taking care of yourself first. We're here to help, and we'll still be here whenever you get back to your projects. We're in no hurry. :)

SmilesPerHour

Please don't overwork yourself. We can and will wait no matter how long it'll take :). You are a wonderful person. Depressions can be tough... I hope you're feeling better soon. Lots of puppy dog kisses and cotton candy dreams for you ♥ :3

Kürbiskatze

Don't worry, we are not pressuring you. Take your time if you need, we know all these projects are big and it would not be wise to push you and your team. Have a wonderful time you all.

You are awesome and we love you! The kickstarter idea for a Hazbin season sounds like a wonderful idea.

Take the time you need for your mental health. That's always a priority! Excited to hear the plans and look forward to watching more content in 2020!

Jackie

Your mental health should be your first priority viv, :) you got this, much love being sent your way. Take care of yourself. <3<3<3

Hugs! Take care of yourself first and foremost. We will support you no matter what! We want most for you to enjoy your projects, so we are very happy to wait while you take the time you need. <3

Amelia Weaver

AWWW YEAH!! GROUP HUG!! Hope you feel better soon, Viv!! Thank you for all of the cool stuff that you have made and are working on! You rock!!

Christopher Anderson

Sorry to hear you're having depression problems. Having had a brush with it and seeing it a lot in my direct relationships, I get you. Take your time and try to ignore the loud yelling from us when you need to. First and foremost, you need to feel better. Everyone else can wait.

Kinan Eldari

Hope everything’s doing better and know we’re all happy to wait for you. Hope Christmas was nice

grant mercer

Ignore and block out the corner of the internet that degrades all your hard work! To hell with them! ( get it? 😏) You already have a great army of fans that are here to support you all the way! Let’s all give Viv a massive P. G. H.! (Patreon Group Hug) Either reply with a hug for viv or just like this post to join me in showing her your support! (> ^^)> 🥰 <(^^<) P. S. don’t forget to get lots of rest too. The mind and heart work best after a long overdue R&R.

Happy new year Vivienne, as an artist who has really struggled with mental health I relate to this on epic proportions. Thabk you for your honesty and I wish you the greatest success moving forward!!

I hope you feel better and take as much time for yourself to recharge

Ramsey Haddad

Your health takes top priority!

SYFYGirl2000

It is okay not to do something. Just let yourself to stop doing anything and take some joy! 💜

Happy New Year and many Internet Hugs!

ptbrown121

Happy New Year, Viv! I finally got my pins in not long ago, and I am in love! I ritualistically rewatch both Hazbin & Helluva, and I am eagerly awaiting what you have in store for us. My only real desire is that Netflix doesnt touch Hazbin because I fear they'll cancel it early.

Andrew Slayton

Don 't let the negativity and overactive fandom push you somewhere you dont wanna go. Be true to yourself. I love your work, and Hazbin has a special place with me. And never forget, "You're never fully dressed without a smile!" ;-)

Happy New Year! My best wishes to you and everyone! Your health is top priority!

Make sure to take care of yourself first! Hope you feel better soon!

Your health and happiness should take priority over pushing out content, but thanks for thinking of us! Take care of yourself, alright? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

KingOfHaphazard

Viv I have no idea how you are able to manage and oversee two animation megaprojects along with the occasional short as you do. By all accounts you should be a smoldering pile of ash by now, and to hear that you're "merely" struggling with anxiety and seasonal depression instead of a full panic attack is straight up incredible and I wouldn't be able to do what you do.

Mark Blundred

Take care of yourself, you're doing great! Hope you're having a good holiday despite the stress

We're glad you're taking care of yourself. Whatever and whenever you post, we'll all enjoy seeing what you enjoy making.

Beniferous

You've got this!

Merry christmas and take your time

We’re here for you!! you can do this Viv ❤️🥰

Dragon-Dog Astar

Your mental health is the most important thing! Please take care of yourself! We’re here for you!
