GROW, GROW, THE LIGHTNING TREE, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR YOU AND ME

GROW, GROW, THE LIGHTNING TREE, NEVER GIVE IN TOO EAS-IL-Y!

Hey everyone, Earndil here with our post-audiodrama-release-post today. Apologies for the somewhat shorter video in comparison to our more recent works that have been over an hour in a few cases, but there's good reason for that!

You see, when we finished this script up last year (Yes, we were quite busy with a few things since then) the intention was for this to be the final audiodrama before Chapter 6 drops! What does that mean? Does this mean you'll have to wait another five months for Chapter 6 to drop???

no

We have been busting ass lately to get these things prepped so we can release a powerful burst of media! DOES THIS MEAN CHAPTER 6 TOMORROW???

no

But I can safely say that it does mean Chapter 6 some time in the coming weeks BABY!!!!! AND THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY WITHOUT INVOKING THE IRE OF MURPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are perilously close to getting the next chapter out, and the Grimaling being released so soon before is great because it means you guys won't have to go too long without seeing another video! That's got to be good, since that'd mean we're not your Yearly Youtubists (When IS LazyPurple coming back?).

This week won't have specific updates, since we are all hands on deck now doing final quality control on Chapter 6, but it should wet your whistle and keep you hungry. Doubtless, some of you have seen the merch drop countdown on our Makeship page. While that date isn't the correct one, (I don't think they've had time to update it yet...) it's not far off.

BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY ON THE MATTER! I'm buzzing and happy that so many found relatability in Grimaling's writing, and that like only 75% of the comments by volume are speculation about whether she's a newt or something! It's really good to see, and if you haven't seen it yet, go ahead and do so... Chapter 6 is right around the corner, should nothing go catastrophically wrong like it did with chapter five.........................

Until next time, we hope you have a poppeng rest of your day!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Earndil

Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grimal seemed to be moving pretty well for someone who got karate chopped by a living freight train.

Personally I wasn't bothered by hunter the grimallings length, I really like how to the point it was can't wait to learn more about grimmal and kitten's relationships. More importantly chapter 6 hype let's gooooooooooo!!!

EileanTheBean

Regardless of runtime, I adore anything you folks put out. You could post five minutes of bloopers and I would still be kicking in my spouse’s office door to make them watch. (They have no idea what’s going on.)

LazyPurple mention in this fine year of 2006 is prophetic and a good omen.

Yesman

IT ALL COMES GRIMALING DOWN, GRIMALING DOWN, GRIMALING DOWN!

TAKK FOR AMASING EPISÖDE VAS VERI GÜD!

Great things muk in mailboxes… nono wait! great things come with patience. Cant wait for what we see next

I was afraid this chapter was going to be depressing, what with all the "Grimal is the ghoul" talk going around, but instead it was a breath of fresh air after the rather dour conclusion of the last episode. Ofc, I was then set upon by thrice-darned onion Malkavians with maxed out Obfuscate.

Tab13

Man a lazypurple ref hope that guy is doing well

Risax the Imp

I'm happy to hear progress on chapter 6 is going so well. I expect no characters dying at all and no knife chapter after the Grimal no Uta audiolog. Nope, none at all.

Douglas B

You're such a sweetie.

Domi

Yall could put something out that's 5-10 minutes and I'll have a blast with it. Seriously, it was still a good huge chunk of content, you spoil us! Thanks for the updates!

UNBOXT

TWAS A JOLLY GOOD SHOW!!!

dirtyharry 01

IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!1!! Does Alfa want his copy of Inquisitor Draco back or should I continue guarding this accursed tome?

PEBZ101

It was short bit god dam it was good, i was expecting an interrogation or something and to get into the ghoulish details not that ! I dont even know how you make something so real, tapping into the painful past of these two. Nothing i have seen can make a conversation flow as you guys make it, lay it all bare, the ups, the downs the fucking flips in tone and yet it all feels so natural. Fucking amazing.

Adam

As much as I like the ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE episodes, these shorter ones are nice too. As long as you're giving things the amount of time that they need I'll be happy.

David

I liked it enough I didn't really notice the length. Great news regardless!

OzzyThunder

Funny thing is I can see when Chapter 6 will be released. I will not expose my connections as they could be wrong and I may be mislead because of them but having a date to look at and go "I can wait" helps me

Earndil Slartibartfast

You shouldn't say that you have connections!!! We're going to start destroying our people one by one until we stop the Leak!!!!!!!

The length of the Grimal episode didn’t bother me at all. It was rich with interpersonal conflict, torn emotions, mixed feelings, vulnerability, angst, and frankly yeah I think lingering love (not in the “they will get back together” way, but in the “this is something that neither could actually throw away so it has needed to change” way). Odoroshi and Thunder did such amazing voice work for this it was tugging at my HRT-restored heartstrings. Which also means the writing was strong, punchy, and powerfully succinct. Speaking of HRT… am I the only one who got queer-allegory vibes from some of that? Like it’s not the only thing we could have gotten from that, to be 100% clear I know that, and also that felt distinctly loaded in there for some reason for me. The way the Ogre crew writes about queer issues is subtle so far, beyond the overt presence of queer people in the show. But it is entirely noticeable. And honestly it feels good that it is written this way. Not in a “oh good they don’t make it their whole personality” way (perish the thought with a prejudice; I suspect a lot of us invest heavily in exploring it once we both know and get the chance to. Some of us need to for a while, and some probably more than others). It feels like “yes, they’re queer” in a way that feels like noticing someone’s hair color or handedness. It’s there and it is a part of their fundamental makeup. And sometimes, like with hair color or handedness, certain traits get bigotry against them at certain times. And that is going to show up in those times. Being written about like I just exist normally this way feels… soothing? Safe? Peaceful? All of the above? Something like that. So, thanks for that, Ogre Poppenang.

There were absolutely zero red flags; I don’t know what you’re on about. (/S)

IKR? Lifelong resiliency… *starts singing “Baby Ghoul” to the tune of “Baby Shark”.*

Lindsay

this episode was beautiful. a tender moment following the storm and rising tension of the prior subchapters. i ate well, my complements to the chefs!

Alex J

It osna quick and simple chapter to get us prepped for whatever we have in store next time... I quiver in fear and excitement

Rain

Ty so much I loved it! Loving our Gramilskwid more than ever! More! I DEMAND MORE AT A REASONABLE AND SUSTAINABLE PACE!!!!

Jack Ponder

It's Poppenrang Time! *kazoo cover of MMPR theme*

Professor Hazard

i don't know what i'd do without earndil's two sign offs

Mr Serket

I swear to god if one of the Garou is fucking Lazypurple

DwarfDaddy

Im fine for “shorter” videos in between. Helps world building. That said loved the episode

Josef Lynn

The Death flags are strong with this one

Yormolch

The episode brought across its points very well, no need to make it longer than necessary. Thank you all very much for your contribution to the art space on youtube and another excellent character development episode.

Kyle E Johnson

Seconded. As we always say: the 20-30 minute episode length was always good. The longer stuff is enjoyable, and it was never required or demanded. Y'all put that expectation on yourselves.

Joshua Backer

The length was perfect for a side chapter IMO. Despite nothing plot-relevant happening, it left me wanting more, whereas the Second Inquisition episode felt like it overstayed its welcome despite being about forwarding the plot.

ImperatorTempus

Grimal Ep was great, and had enough length for what I expected; the picnic table isn't a great sign for our heroes, given the last time we saw one.
