**i've been fighting with the render for this video for 4 hours. at this point i'm just throwing in the towel, and releasing it as an audio. i'll try to get it working long term, but i wanted you guys to have it in the meantime.

for the forseeable future, the new release schedule will be just a Friday early access/Saturday release every week. that said, on week's where i have the bandwidth, i'll also sometimes still do a Tuesday E.A./Wednesday release. in keeping with that, the sneak peeks that show which videos are coming next will no longer have dates on them, since that will potentially fluctuate, but rather will just call out who to expect soon.

Age-Restricted Bonus Audios will continue as normal, released one a month, mid-month. themed releases (April Fooliverse, Hot Boi Summer, etc) will still be a thing, but they'll be released on a normal video schedule rather than a back to back situation.

the April Fooliverse Anton video will be the next up. in the meantime, i've also finally finished the first installment of the Redacted 101 series that I mentioned in the new year video. it's long, it's soft spoken, and it's either informative or sleep-inducing, depending on your style. but either way, i hope it's something you enjoy. thank you!

i don't have a transcript for this one since I was just going off notes, but the audio file can be found and downloaded here:

I hope, the new schedule you're settling on, makes juggling everything a bit easier and allows you a healthier balance. After all, we want you to keep enjoying creating these awesome stories for a very long time, and not burning yourself out over it! ♥ Also, I freakin' enjoyed this first 101 audio!! I'm excited for any future ones! :-))) This has already answered a question I was wondering about with a friend, where we tried to remember if any magical or magic imbued items had ever been mentioned in the RedactedVerse. As for questions for future 101s... I have two. It's been mentioned, that vampires don't get killed by the sun *immediately* (but, obviously, that it does kill them). If you have an explanation for how that works, I'd love to hear about it sometime. Like, could a vampire walk around in a hoodie and with gloves for an hour or so in daylight? Or is it a matter of minutes, and these minutes would already be uncomfortable? Would it be different depending on the age of the vampire, too? And... if you're even willing to reveal that secret and not just keep it a fun mystery: I'm dying to know what trick Vincent used to get into Lovely's apartment without "breaking in" or breaking anything. Did he old school pick the lock? That would be hilarious! XD Essentially, is there a specific power that he or vampires in general can use, to open doors? Porter seems to have lots of magical tricks up his sleeve, but Vincent mentions that magic isn't his (Vincent's) strong suit. But apparently he *can* get into places... How does that work? What exactly did he perform there? If that's supposed to remain a secret, I'm okay with that, too. lol

fluffsoo

the way this audio is so completely My Shit 😩👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 i am eating this all up like a starved beast thank you for the lore meal 🙏🏻

If all the sovereign dies, does it effect anything destructive on Aria, demons and empowered? In MY WAY of thinking if they ever perished so I don’t know what will happen Aria, but demons might cease to exist and empowered people’s core will ceased too. But what will happens?

Empress Arcana

I feel like a kid at a candy store, simply listening to this Redacted 101: Magic lesson. Maybe, I should be pulling out a notebook and taking diligent notes. I do love learning and I find your universe incredibly fascinating. It’s a win-win. I haven’t even finished listening but I really am enjoying it. Thank you for taking the time to record this, Erik. Or should I call you Professor Redacted, instead? I, mean, at least for these Redacted 101 lessons. Joking aside, I’m really excited to fully listen and for the future installments as well. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your creativity, your stories, your universe, too.

The list: Redacted Quejhins * do Auras have color to the trained empowered user’s eye? If so, what are your characters’ aura color? * If daemons are made of magic, do they have to same sort of magical core that empowered humans do? * I think you mentioned in a previous QA once that shifters only get one form. If shifters can transform into only one creature, are there different “packs” across the world that aren’t just wolves, or are “specialized” animals shifters so rare, that there aren’t enough of them to make different organizations/packs? * Can Brachium Kill? (I feel like that breaks a law or something) * When human threads are “cut”? What happens on an exclusively physical level and is the survival rate … high?low? Bad? Can daemons have their “threads” cut? * If daemons are named from stars within the same constellation, are they siblings?? * Do you play an instrument? * Were Min’ara and E’Laetum lovers? * Can daemons bridge with empowered humans? Is it the same as two empowered humans bridging? * Does silver affect shifters here in this universe like how it does in classic “werewolf”folk lore (such as silver bullets killing them in one shot)… or does it just.. you know…suck to get shot? * Of the bois you’ve created, who would be the one you- Erik- would least want to piss off? * Where’s Caelum!? 😰😰 * Are there other hate groups around the world similar to CloseKnit? Or other factions that wanna hate on other magical races? * If vampires and shifters are both category PEMPs, do shifters also have the ability to change non-shifters into shifters like how vampires can create more vampires? (Example being can an alpha wolf bite someone on a full moon and turn them into another wolfie????) * What is the difference between an Ice Elemental and a Water Elemental? Couldn’t water elementals also freeze water? * On average, which daemon type tend to be the strongest, most powerful, d(a)emons? * When a daemon “dies”, what happens to them? * How do daemons join the Chorus? Are they elected like humans or .. something else? * When magical people interact, how can they tell what type of magic user someone is? What do they see? * Is a Sonal Energetic likely to be individuals that mimic any noise/ have Black Canary (just google her) powers, or something more sinister like a Siren?? * Can Air Elementals and Graviton Energetics fly?

MeridianSkye

I love rambles. Glad you finally got to start!

Hazel Marie

Just one question, is the Elision Well a physical object that Daemons come out of or is it formless?

Rachel_Maybe

Ooo I have a question: With the understanding that the Sovereigns in the Meridian are responsible for "refining" Arcana into something humans can use, if E'Laetum and Min'ara were ever to be freed, and the Meridian sustained by something else, would that conversion of Arcana still be possible? 👀 Or would there be a larger impact on humanity's ability to use magic at all?

Femme Fatale

I've listened to this 3 times already. Your voice is so pleasant. Thanks for clearing up cores, thread-cutting, and bridging for me. I can't wait for Class 102 Sovereigns and Daemons.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
