oh, uhh. hello! as you probably know, my video about the McElroys got... kinda popular? at time of writing it's sitting around 155,000 views, and my channel is just over 15,000 subscribers. i'll remind you that my 9k sub celebration stream was like two weeks ago. words fail me, so i'm not even going to try.

it's time to talk about the future.

i enjoy making these longer videos, and i know you enjoy watching them. however, keeping them up to my standard of information density is, shall we say, a lot of work. there's an unfortunate feedback loop here, in that i feel obligated to get at least one video out a month, and when these projects keep eating so much time, smaller projects get pushed back because, you know, i want to give everyone bang for their buck!

tbqh, this sucks. i want to put out more stuff. this isn't pressure from you, this is pressure from me. i don't like being stuck making these gargantuan monsters every month, i can already feel myself start to burn out from the workload. so, i'm gonna try scaling things back.

something i've wanted to do for a while is a film-by-film examination of the Wachowski filmography, especially in the wake of their retirement. instead of making this one overlong video, i'm going to make it a series of 10-15 minute videos that i can turn out a lot faster. each video would focus on one of their films.

honestly, this sounds fun! and fun is something i desperately need.

so! here's the tentative schedule: i'll have a short video about the first Wachowski film, Bound, sometime next week. after that, around the week of 4/13, i'll have a longer video about Homestuck. there are a lot of other projects on the table, but we'll take those as we come.

the podcast is still on hold for the time being. this week was nowhere near as productive as i'd have liked, on account of a lot of backend maintenance. i'll keep you up to speed on that as time goes on.

thank you, as always, for your support! it really means so much to me, and right now is a particularly exciting time. see you again soon, and please, take care of yourselves.
