Delay
Added 2025-03-27 17:05:41 +0000 UTCHi Cuties
There's no video today as I haven't had time to record for Frieren yet. I still need to catch up with where I left off. I'm spending tonight focusing on myself.
My mental health is also a little all over the place - I won't lie.
1. I'm posting a new series outside of Death Note for the first time in months. I'm conscious that the quality does not reflect where the channel is at currently and I'm worried it'll flop. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so that doesn't help things.
2. Work has been stressful. I had some very difficult calls today and I had to stay over an hour late due to a complicated case so I am drained.
3. PonyCanyon demonetising both 3 x 16 and 3 x 17 on YT for music that I removed and even if was present would not have been for the length of time they're claiming it was because of me cutting clips out. Just demoralising as I spend so much time abiding by copyright and I see channels with triple the views I do with full music blasting and 0 repercussions.
4. Just need some downtime truthfully. Coming home and editing every night and then spending all my weekends editing and filming is just not healthy. I need to try find a better balance because I am exhausted and I know I'm going to burn myself out if I carry on.
I will still try to stick to the schedule for AOT for Saturday as best I can.
I think trying to align Patreon releases with YT releases is making things harder. Maybe shift Patreon to Wednesday to Saturday so I get more time to catch up on Patreon videos now that the AOT videos are getting longer and I can spend a day solely dedicated to sorting out my YT releases for the week without trying to do both simultaneously.
But yeah just didn't want to leave anyone in dark and just making you all aware as to where my head is at right now in case there are delays this weekend.

2025-03-27 22:10:30 +0000 UTCTake a hot relaxing bubble bath and remember to take care of yourself again :3 I won´t mind if you even drop down to one AoT epi per week, as those reacts are now constantly in the 1h+ regime.. Your health comes first, prefferbly by some Sophie-time, then your Work - as this is your main income and then afterwards it´s us , aka Youtube and Patreon. Especialy as hot transparent you are towards us with such things, i doubt that the majority would have any problem with you stepping a bid on the brake from time to time

2025-03-27 18:43:41 +0000 UTCJust realized I wrote "burn out" like 20 times in the above post. That's how much worried you have us, please remember to take care of yourself too!

2025-03-27 18:42:46 +0000 UTCPlease take your time! I think a break to catch up on Frieren is totally fine. You could just add a link to your collection so that new subscribers can find your previous videos and catch up with you too. Also, as much as I love your content, and will always want more, please be sure you take care of yourself and don't burn out. Releasing one episode a week of Frieren (at least until you get used to your new job) may be an option so that you can have time for yourself and don't burn out. Please remember that we are here because we love what you are doing. All of your videos are of a much more higher quality than most reactors in YouTube and you should be proud of them all. Please keep that in mind, take your time and make sure you don't burn out. We want you around for the long run!

2025-03-27 18:12:39 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind if yyou take a 2-week break between AoT S3 and S4. But you've probably already recorded a ouple of episodes, and once you start, it's hard to stop...

2025-03-27 18:04:34 +0000 UTCI wish I had a way to send you tasty lattes or tea baskets or something to help with the destressing between shoots and edits ^_^ no worries at all, take whatever time you need.

2025-03-27 17:23:29 +0000 UTCThanks for being transparent with us. Being a creative writer, I completely understand needing to take care of self, family, and business first, THEN perfect your craft before it's submitted for enjoyment 😅 I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and keeping proper boundaries 🫶🏾
