It's been a rough couple of months, on a lot of fronts. It's honestly been exhausting. At this point I'm just looking forward to putting it behind me. The Cataclysm storyline will wrap up with four more installments, with the finale releasing on Halloween. To be blunt, I've really had the wind kicked out of my sails with this and it's very demotivating, but this is a story I've been planning for almost a year now, it's one I'm proud of, and at this point, I've already done the heavy lifting on it so it's just a matter of getting it out there and closing this chapter.

We're getting some soft, feel-good, non-narrative fluff out of Ollie (on the 4th), Aaron (6th), Guy (8th), and Milo (10th), which will be a palate cleanser for not just the channel, but also for myself. And then I'm taking a break. From a channel perspective, it'll be a week. After Milo's fluff video drops on the 10th, there won't be a normal channel video again until the 19th. Behind the scenes, it'll be closer to three weeks because of the videos being done beforehand. If I'm feeling inspired, there might be a Reductive Audio released during that break, because filming those genuinely makes me happy and doesn't feel like work, but we'll see where I'm at. Either way, after the fluff, we'll be back in action on the 19th, and hopefully back to some semblance of normal. I appreciate all of your patience through all of this, and your support has meant more than you know, so most of all I just want to say thank you to each of you that has been so kind over the course of this shitshow of a few months. I'm looking forward to the future.

Please rest up Erik, it's been hard on you, I know for sure. Thank you for all the content you continue to provide regardless of the bullshit being thrown ur way. We appreciate you 🤗

Gemmyrose

I'm glad you're giving yourself some downtime. As much as I enjoy your content, I don't enjoy the idea of it burning you out trying to push yourself too hard. Good job. "It is the role of the artist to be tortured, and the role of the patron to release him from it."

LunarArtz

going feral for more guy content omg

Classically Incorrect

Thank you for all your hard work! Fatigue/burnout can affect anyone especially with the mountains you’ve had to move. The content is amazing but it’s nothing without YOU so do your best to focus on your own health and happiness. We’ll all still be here ❤️✨🙌🏽

Fedya

Take your time! You’ve been so kind with us, you truly deserve a break. Don’t stress yourself and take care.

Nataleee

I’ve been anticipating the return of the imperium since last year, and the new chapter has been everything and more. Nothing short of genius and, in my opinion, perfection. Thank you so much for everything, and please please take as long as you need and a little more, you deserve a break and time for yourself in spades.

L.L

Very glad you'll be taking a much needed break :)

Syn Unknown

Love ya rik. I don't think I've ever been happy to hear about a creator I care about announcing a break. x| You deserve it and I hope it's exactly what you need. Thank you for your hard work and thank you so much for Imperium. it's been a wonderful ride. ^^

ListeningPhoenix

I hope you get the break you need and things start to become peaceful and fun again. I saw your message on YouTube and hope that your videos stop being placed on other platforms outside of your control and without context. You have had a lot to deal with this year channel wise so just know we all appreciate your hard work and wish nothing but the best for you. Take all the time you need to deal with everything.

can't wait for it all :-) take care on your break ! ♥️

You've handled it all with grace and dignity. You remain this professional person while simultaneously being hilariously human and seeing the way you approach things with class and quick wit is inspiring. I hope you find the break refreshing and get some well deserved rest.

GHOSTLYTOASTY

You definitely deserve a break! You’ve pushed through a lot already, and honestly it’s great to hear you’re giving yourself some time off. Love your content, Erik but most of all we want to make sure you take care of yourself first. Enjoy your break, it’s well deserved! 👍

Nightshade1217

We are not worthy of your kindness Erik you go above and beyond for us and I wish there was more that we could give back too you especially with the struggles you've had to face. Take a LONG break to get yourself sorted because your health and mental state comes first thank you and I can't wait for the conclusion of the imperium storyline and the domestic bliss that follows. You have no idea what your content does for me because these past few months have put me through hell and back. I can only hope that these words if you even read them bring you a bit of joy in the grand scheme of things. Much love to you

Alexandra R

Sending so much love and positive thoughts your way, Erik! Happy you are taking a break, I hope it's relaxing and enjoyable! 💕

Bambi

riathepinkie

You’ve beyond earned the rest. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Cataclysm thus far and can’t wait to hear the finale. Afterfluff looks like it’ll be great too. Hopefully the end of the year is kinder to you than the last couple of months have been.

Shana

Glad you're taking a break! Definitely deserve it after all the shit that's been going on, and if you ever need more than that, you won't hear a complaint from me, you're a hard worker and should definitely be taking breaks when you need it. You do a lot for us and I'm glad to be able to support you in this way. Looking forward to what's ahead!

EntangledSawyer

glad you’re going to take some time for yourself! Can’t wait for the afterfluff but I hope that you take the time that you need

Litlkim

I really hoped you’d consider taking a break and am extremely relieved you’re going to. You deserve it. I’m glad you see how loved and cared about you are. You are far more than just a content creator to us. There’s a reason your support here on Patreon is as great as it is…we care about you. Because we feel how much you actually care about us. 💜 We aren’t going anywhere…ever. Take as long as you need. Do not worry about us. We’ll be here.

Tech

I’m so glad you’re taking time for yourself! You deserve the rest, especially after all this crap. So excited for the end of the Cataclysm arc and the fluff!

Empress Arcana

I’m so sorry you’ve been going through such a difficult time, with everything coming down at once. It breaks my heart because you are such a giving, genuine, and talented person, always sharing your beautiful creations. Every story you weave together comes in layers and resonates with so many people. Thank you, Erik, for sharing these creations with us. Please, take all the time you need for you. Stories are meant to be told and shared, no matter how long one has to wait. You’ve got this!

EmpyreanSky

You're doing amazing, Erik, and don't you forget it. Truly, you have blown us all away and given us so much happiness and substance and fun and all the feels. Throw yourself fully into taking your break; reacquaint yourself with the beauty of doing nothing! It's a necessary, needed, valid form of care and recovery. I think nothing would make all of us happier as your supporters than you relaxing into this time off, we all just wish for you to feel lighter again in yourself and replenished and at ease from a nice holiday! You beyond deserve it. We're all behind you, Erik! We're proud of you and we love you and we are SO EXCITED for you to enjoy this little rest. Thank you so much for everything, you give us so bloody much! Now it's time to give a lot more to YOU! 💜🤍💜🤍

Georgia Morgan

the most important thing is that you take care of yourself!! i think i speak for all of us when i say i’m so grateful for the time and effort you put into these stories and characters. i know these past few weeks have been especially rough for you, and i’m sorry you’re feeling demotivated right now :( we love and appreciate you!!

heather

so glad you’re taking time for yourself erik! it’s well deserved

ReplayCamera2 Chloe

Thank fuck you’re taking a break, I can only imagine the amount of stress you’ve been under since September and that’s just channel related stuff. Take that well deserved break. Eat pizza, play video games for hours, stay up late if you want to not because you have to, sleep in, whatever the hell you want. You’ve more than earned it. The channel schedule might’ve been shifted around but the quality of your work never slipped. Thanks again for all the work you put in for us and enjoy your break. Looking forward to whatever comes next.

Ammy

I'm really happy you're able to take this time off, I'm super new here but it looks like you've gone through....Some Shit(tm). I hope you get lots of naps, play some cozy games and eat lots of delicious foods. 🥰

Please take all the time you need. I can understand with all that has been happening why you would need a break. It is an intense storyline for a number of reasons and you still have your real life as well. You are an awesome storyteller and I love all that you have given us and I am proud to be part of the community that you have built. Take care of yourself and enjoy your break.

Lmao.😂 Enjoy your break, take care of yourself, and we’ll be here when you bounce back better than ever!❤️

Prim

Do whatever you gotta do to decompress, including taking a longer break if need be! I know that I and many others can’t wait to be spoiled by all the fluff from some of our loveliest boys in the coming weeks. Love your work so, so much! 💗

SebCastellanYES

Glad you’re going to take a break. You deserve one. Of all the audio artists I listen to, you’re honestly one of the hardest working and talented and it always shows. Remember we all want you to do what’s best for you and your health, physical and mental. Looking forward to the fluff and everything else to come.

GravesVerse

I've never been dissatisfied with any audio, and I can't wait for what is to come. 💙

Joyeuse

Repeating what everyone says: Take that break! Treat yo'self! You deserve it! Rest a lot!

Callisto

I'm sorry everything happening over the last few months has sucked some of the joy out of creating. For whatever it's worth, I've loved every minute of the cataclysm storyline and I'm so excited to see how it all ends. Enjoy your break and take all the time you need! It is very well deserved and I hope things feel refreshed and exciting whenever you're ready to get back to it.

Bonnie

Erik, you're always doing the absolute most for us. Enjoy your break! ❤

Mira

I normally am a silent listener but I’ve gotta say something especially with what’s been going on lately. Please take whatever time you need to recuperate. I’m so sorry this past month has been so rough. You’re feelings are extremely valid. I hope things grow kinder and gentler soon. I can’t speak for everyone but I’ve genuinely enjoyed your content and I truly appreciate the amount of work you put in to each one. There have been so many nights and times where your audios have made me feel comforted and seen when I needed it most. They’ve been cathartic, exciting, and comforting to listen to and explore. We’ll be here waiting for if you feel comfortable coming back and if not, we support you. Take whatever time you need and at the end of the day I hope you know how many people you’ve affected for the better. Please take care of yourself too💙

Syd

Please enjoy your time off! You definitely deserve a break, and we’re all so thankful for the fantastic content you create

Nikki 5¢

Love the fact that I’m getting another Ollie video around my bday hehe :3 I can’t imagine the stress you have went thru these past months. You always go above an beyond when it comes to not only your videos but looking out for the well-being of everyone. I love the imperium but man do I love the after fluff. I truly appreciate the care and time you put into everything. I hope you get to enjoy your break and actually take a lil breather. Give yourself the after fluff that you’re gifting us (that sounded better in my head jsjsjsj). Hope you have a good one :)

Carmilla Dragyns

You more than deserve to have all the downtime you need! I send all the hugs in the world! ❤️❤️❤️

Aria Lee

I’m excited for you to enjoy and relax on your break :) thank you for all your hardwork, Erik!!

I’m so excited for some fluff! I absolutely love the imperium but this will be a nice refresher of sorts. Enjoy your break! You’ve earned it 💜

RainyDay

Oh I bet it'll feel so nice to have a break from things, I'm really glad you're taking some time for yourself. You absolutely deserve all the rest, comfort, and self-care you can get, plus so much more.

Somizjhae Randolph

Its honestly been a headache to deal with these past couple of days so I'm glad that everyone is getting fluff and you are getting a well deserved break after. ♥️

Spookygirl26

You more than deserve a break, enjoy your time off and take care of yourself 🖤

vittoria

Enjoy your break, you deserve an amazing time off! Treat ya self! ✨

SunnyScripts

So glad you’ll be taking a break! I was JUST listening to Hewll Yeah where you mentioned planning softer comfort content in advance that’s easier to produce to give yourself some time, and we’re sorry that you had to utilize that strategy under these conditions. Be well, and thank you for all- and I mean, all- that you do.

gremlin_king

I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing break you deserve it. 😙 Thank youu for the fluff. Much love 💕

Alluwi

you are amazing, please enjoy your time off!! we love and appreciate all you do. thank you for all ur hard work! ♡♡

thank you for everything you do Erik , your content and this community mean the world to me. you deserve a break and to take time for yourself , so enjoy yourself and relax!! you're doing an absolutely incredible job and i can't put into words how thankful i am. <3

beck

so I'm new here, I started listening to your stuff at what looks like around a month after the shit went down in September, I don't know if this helps but I can assure you, flitting between patreon and youtube to listen to all of your audios? fucking worth every second. I'm so sorry youtube did a number on you and I'm glad you're taking a break; you absolutely deserve it. Your release schedule is fucking insane, your content is beyond incredible and I cannot express how lucky we as fans are to have you. Anyway, now about to start cataclysm, wish me luck

Teslyn Tan Ai Lin

Take all the time you need for yourself. Take care and enjoy yourself to the fullest! You only live once as they say.

justsomepancakes

Thank you for everything you take on in order to bring us this content and tell these stories. Above and beyond the consistency and quality of the audios, you handle so much. It’s truly mind-boggling. I can only say that we are grateful. Your stories and the characters that inhabit them aren’t just drops in an ocean of media. I honestly feel that these are stories only you could tell. They are unique. They are profound. The sheer gamut of emotions we cover exploring your universe in its many shades is crazy. The creativity and thoughtfulness at its core is amazing. Your writing from a technical standpoint: remarkable. The professionalism and care with which you comport yourself as a creator: refreshing. This is a fucking wondrous thing you have dredged up out of your brain matter and painstakingly brought into the world for others to experience. At times it literally takes my breath away. At other times it is an easy comfort. And overall it is absolutely top tier fiction. So impactful on my life and on the lives of others, because it deeply moves us, sometimes challenges us, and resonates within us long after we listened. I don’t know if that makes the challenges feel any lighter - probably not. But it should be said. And you deserve as much time and care as you can give yourself, regardless of it all.

Rachel_Maybe

I'm so sorry the last few months have been so discouraging for you. But I am so glad to hear that you'll be taking time to rest. You deserve it! And I hope this break is everything you need it to be. Please take all of the time that you need. You pour so much into your content and your channel, and we are so so grateful for all of the work you do! You deserve to take some time to pour back into yourself, too. Sending all of the good vibes your way 😊

Susanna

Glad you’re taking a break!! You’ve been working non stop! Take your time :-)

Sarina Boghosian

I’m so sorry you even had to go through this

Maariyaah

Despite all the shit that’s happened over the course of September going into October, you’ve gone above and beyond to give us so much wonderful (spoopy) content. So go take that break dude, go play some Mario Kart, order pizza and wings, you deserve the time off!!

Valfjet05

rest Erik, it's good to take a break, it allows you to have new ideas and I hope that the end will be an end where all the characters will have a good end.

Cole

The most important thing is that you take care of yourself. Not only is it ideal for us to be in a good headspace to listen to the heavier audios but for you to be in one to make them and after so many it can still wear you down. We prefer a happy healthy Erik with audio breaks than the alternative. I hope you have a calm refreshing break for you own sake more than anything.

RAVEN

Here comes Ollieee 💗, thank you Erik for all the effort you put in your work, you took the whole (audio rp) thing into a new level, everything here is beautiful even the angst :') u deserve all the love and support.

Shelbey W

I was hoping you were going to take a mini break, with how stressful and not that great the last few months has been, you definitely deserve a well earn break The echotober has been amazing and has to be so much work. It's been outstanding You put so much work, time and so much effort into every episode and that's wonderful! You definitely deserve a well earn break! Thank you so much for all your hard work 💕

Cinnamon Sugar

It’s been truly painful watching all of the shit that’s been flung your way over the last couple months, and I recognize that’s only the stuff we can see. I’m honestly in awe of the grit you’ve shown in sticking through the hard stuff and the commitment to continue moving forward. I’m so grateful. Your audios run the gamut of feeding my needs. The fluff, the angst, the sorrow, the love, the sex, the trauma. All of it. It’s a catharsis to hear these characters experiencing thoughts and emotions that I’ve sometimes felt so alone in experiencing myself. The care in your storytelling allows me to reflect, reframe, and explore my own darkest and most confusing moments in a way that feels like I have a hand to hold along the way. But it’s not just about what your storytelling makes me feel about myself. You also make me care for these characters on a deeply familial sort of way. I celebrate their wins and mourn their losses with them. They are friends who share my values and sometimes challenge me to reconsider my own motivations or biases in such a way that feels gentle and accepting. That’s an amazing thing. I’m relieved you’re finding a way to take a break and allow yourself to rest and heal from a wrecking ball of an autumn. It’s important that you stay whole. What you put out into the world is so valuable, but don’t let it or us suck you dry. You have so many of us that are content to wait for you to recover when you need to and still be here when you get back. We can manage a week between audios even if we’ll miss you. You’re worth the wait.

Haz

Really appreciate everything and the hard work you’ve put into all of this it’s amazing thank you. Also looking forward to the rest of the cataclysm and fluff so exciting. But please take that well deserved break, take all that time you need to take care of yourself and rest well.

Rogha

After everything you’ve done you more than deserve a long long break. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into all this amazing work you share with us. I hope your break is as refreshing as it can be and nothing super negative happens for the rest of the year (knock on wood).

dex

i’m glad you’re taking a break ! you truly deserve it after the last couple months thank you for your hard work, rest well !

Arabella Fae

I hope you enjoy you very well deserved break❤️

musicalmidnight

I lurk here in patreon, rarely comment on YouTube, but wanted to emerge from lurk mode to add my support. You take care of you, Erik. Thank you for all of the work and effort you put into these audios. I keep returning to my favorite bois, long after I've practically memorized all of their lines and know their scenes by heart. The stories are amazing, the intertwined world is awesome, and this up-coming break is well-deserved.

Loulou

You do so much for us, more than you'll ever know! You deserve breaks and deserve to take care of yourself. Happy and healthy is all we want for you! We'll see you again whenever you're ready!! 💖

Loulou

Beautifully written 😇

Arun Raine Abernathy

I'm glad you are going to be taking a break, it is well deserved and needed. You work extremely hard and the last 2 months have not been easy. Even if the break was longer than a week on our end we'd still be here when you return💛

Michelle Rodriguez

Take care Erik, thank you for all you do and for keeping us in the loop. Wishing you a restful time

SM Relix

Take as much time as you need Erik! These past few months have been turbulent, and as long as you're OK, we're happy. Don't forget, you're important too!!!

Take as much time as you need. You do such an amazing job with the multiple stories you constantly put out and we always appreciate the work and effort you do. However we also want you to enjoy what you're doing so please take a break. We will still be here, waiting for you to not feel so exhausted. I'm sorry that the last few months have been insane and I really do hope this break makes you feel better. Sending love and care your way.

You've more than earned time off. Take your time to rest and recover. You're more important than a schedule or the next installment. As long as you're happy so are we!

I can’t imagine how stressful the last couple months have been for you and I don’t know how you haven’t completely lost it. Have a restful break, take as much time as you need.

Erik I have so much respect for you and your stories, the world you’ve created is so beautiful in every which way. I adore the good, bad, and morally grey, I’ve never experienced a form of media quite like this. Life changing. Thank you so much for all the work you put in, I dont think anyone is able to express the gratitude your audience feels for you. You deserve a year of rest and relaxation honestly LOL! Take all the time you need, I really hope this becomes something you love again- not just a chore. Much love.

Meg

You deserve to take as much time as you need for a break Erik, you truly deserve it. You’ve been working so hard despite the chaos. Everything you create is honestly so inspiring and just amazing, my respect for you has only grown more and more. Take all the time you need to relax and do what you love, we will always be here to support you ♡💜♡

Asher

Honestly? You should take the whole month. It'd be well earned. Either way, glad to hear you're taking some time for yourself. I am hoping that it will be kind, to you and to us all. ❤

KayBye

Erik, You have no idea how happy it makes us to hear that you’re taking a much needed break. I’m sure none of us know the full scale of everything you’ve had to deal with these last two months. You deserve every bit of peace, serenity, and care during this break. And it breaks my heart that you’ve felt demotivated during Cataclysm, a storyline that you have worked so hard on and we all love so much. I honestly wish there was something more we could do for you. This last year has been so difficult for me and you and your beautiful mind has pretty much been the only thing that’s kept me grounded and motivated to keep going. Thank you for creating an entire world for us to escape to💕 we love you, Erik.

Quill

take as much time as you need!! you've been blasting on all cylinders, it's time you took a break 💕 we'll be here when things are easier

Rae

Yessssss, take that self-care break!!! You deserve it big time Erik, we’re all very grateful for you and the energy you put into everything. Enjoy every bit of the break and we shall be patiently waiting for your return where you hopefully will feel all sorts of better <3333

Echo

I'm glad to see that the previous plan for an Ollie audio before October is going to happen afterwards instead, my person adores Ollie the most and could definitely use some cosy cute time with him. You've had a really rough time the last few months, working so hard to keep things on track with bump after bump in the road, but you've done amazing all things considered and you definitely deserve a break. We will still be here, get lots of rest, relax, do something fun in your free time for us and feel good to come back with hopefully a more stable time so you don't have to scramble again. We love you and all you do, your hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated, we are more concerned for your wellbeing so take care of yourself. 🖤

Icedragonlady

While I am glad to hear you will be taking a break, I wish it didn't have to come at such a high cost to you. You've worked your butt off these last couple of months, we can all see that and rest assured it is acknowledged and appreciated to the highest regard. But, as many other commenters have no doubt said, your health: mentally, physically and emotionally, are of utmost importance. The world you have built for yourself and for us has been amazing. I'm on pins and needles to see how cataclysm wraps up, but you have to come first, Mr. Erik. Your dedication and care is beyond admirable and we will be here after you get some well deserved rest. Until then, may you get all the care, hugs(if youre into that) and relaxation you can get your hands on. You deserve it and so much more. Much love!

RicePuff

The imperium has honestly been some of my favorite videos so far, thank you for all the awesome work you do Eric! Enjoy your break you more than deserve it!

Audrey

Thank you for all you do for us! I look forward to the Fluff but am also so intrigued by the cataclysm element. You are so very creative and the world building behind the episodes is INSANE!!! 🥇 🏆

cloudybun

you need the break my guy! your back must hurt from carrying the entire fantasy audio community on it lol. but seriously, you've been providing us with amazing content and you deserve to take some time for yourself! and i hope the break gives you time to rest up and feel good again :)

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

I know I'm so late with this comment, but I still wanted to say this, regardless of the time passed. I'm so sorry for all the difficulties and upheaval that the past few months have brought. You've truly been through so much. And again, I'm so sorry you've had to endure all that. I can only imagine the multitude of tumultuous emotions you must be experiencing right now. You truly have all my sympathy. My heart goes out to you. I'm sending a huge virtual hug your way 🫂💖 It's totally understandable that recent events would take the wind out of your sails. I'm so sorry that you've had to battle with that feeling of being disheartened, in such a way. I know those feelings can be very tough to overcome. But if it's any comfort, please know that everything you do is wholeheartedly appreciated 💜 This always feels like a massive understatement, and I know that I must sound like the ultimate broken record at this point, but: Thank you so much, for all you do! With everything you do, your talent, care, dedication, and unbelievably hard work shines through. It shines through so brightly. It is truly unparalleled. You're amazing! 💖 And of course, I can't write this comment without mentioning the fact that all The Imperium content was INCREDIBLE! It was absolutely FANTASTIC! 😍 I'm still in awe over it, honestly. And I'm so glad that you got to tell this story, as you had planned. You did it! And you created something stunning, as you always do! Plus, gotta celebrate all the spectacular fluff installments, as well. That set of releases has been SOOOOO awesome! 😍😍😍 The stellar content never ceases! And I adore it all! Over the span of The Imperium: Cataclysm, and the following fluff installments, I've definitely acquired so many new favorite audios! Oh, and the newest Reductive Audio Episode was amazing! Another favorite, for sure. It was a blast, hearing about all of your Pokémon 😄 It has all been endlessly enthralling, and so much fun! Thank you, for everything you do, and for everything you create. I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say that it is an honor to support you, and your fantastic content. And another massively important note: I hope you have a wonderful break, Erik! In whatever form that time off takes, I hope it's restful and rejuvenating. Because you deserve the absolute best! Take all the time you need. As always, your health, happiness, comfort, and well-being is the most important thing! There's truly no rush with any of this. We will all be here, excited as ever, when you're fully ready to return! 😄 Just know that we're endlessly thankful for YOU as a person, Erik. That immense gratitude and heartfelt care... It goes so far beyond the Content alone. We all think you're incredible, just because you're YOU! 🥰 So, take all the time you need, with anything and everything. Truly 💜 We all support you 100% with anything you do 💖 You so kindly thanked all of us for our patience and support, but in truth, you deserve all the gratitude and appreciation here 💜 I can only imagine how much work you're constantly, diligently doing. Thank you so much for all of that hard work, dedication, and thoughtfulness. That genuine care means so much. More than words could ever fully express. And with all that said: Thank you so much for sharing this update with us. Cheers to happier times ahead! 😊 I can't wait to see all the awesome things that the future holds! Again, thank you for everything!
