Hi all,

So you may have noticed that we didn't release anything last month. I could be coy about it but the truth is I was busy having my government-mandated semi-annual YouTuber meltdown, and I desperately needed to step away for some time. But we are working on some new stuff that we're pretty excited about, and I hope you'll feel like it's worth the wait, as well.

Thank you all for your patience, and for those of you who've had to scale back your contributions to us, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE. First of all, I feel like a dick that I wasn't able to keep up with the schedule, and second, I'm not entitled to anyone else's money. I'm grateful for everything you've chosen to give.

In the mean time,  we've partnered with the fine folks at DFTBA to create a merch store! It only took me ten years! Now you can own physical artifacts that reference highly obscure in-jokes! Broadcast to your friends that you are losing to a bird! Right now, it's exclusive to patrons only, and patrons all get 20% off everything in the store.

That mug and Whole Plate shirt are MINE, everybody stay back

Hilary Thomas

I don't need another mug but I need that mug

Nick Thornley

I am UK. This post makes me very happy, but the geography makes me very sad. 😀/😪

Gabriel Gianola

Great merch, and genius shan't be rushed ;)

The "fine" mug is going to make such a great Christmas present. I hope you feel a little better, take your time--your work is always worth the wait.

cutselvage

Thank you so much for all that you do! I've nabbed a mug and a bird pin because they are terrific and I definitely have yelled IM LOSING TO A BIRD at times.

See How I Glitter queer merch. An idea. Not a demand. Thank you for the This is Fine mug <3.

Marshall Lager

Needs more Lindsay bobbleheads. Like, any Lindsay bobbleheads.

Joe Bloe

beastzoned... Jenny Nicholson reference?

Joe Bloe

Wait, is Beast zoned a Lindsay thing that Jenny referenced that I didn't get? #ohnomybrand

I know it can be tough to be a Youtuber and I completely understand that you need to take a break sometimes. Don't worry about it, your mental health is more important than my need for video essays.

Crescent Minor

I assumed it was time for your meltdown, considering the last video was about how stressful your job is. I get it; everyone needs to go through one at some point. Frankly, you make some of the best stuff out there, and I'm not about to begrudge you a little time off.

Crescent Minor

First access and a discount at your store makes me feel very appreciated! Thank you, Lindsay! I need like 3 of that mug ... and may I suggest *deep, beleaguered sigh* as another possible mug design? I would buy it.

Yas! And also a shirt that says: "We invite you to open your heart and mind to the magical worldview of pedantic nitpickers who point out plot holes in fairy tales" etc. I want the whole speech on a shirt.

Eric Mulder

Take all the time off you need! Your videos are great, and well worth waiting for!

Emily Daenzer

Heck I'd buy a *deep beleaguered sigh* t-shirt!

Emily Daenzer

Hey, you need to take a break don't worry about it! I have depression and anxiety issues and I get overwhelmed super easily. Please take care of yourself first and I'll still be here to support you!

Kaitlyn

Oh no, I kind of want that "It's Fine" mug... guess it's a good thing Christmas is coming up!

Kiva and Emy

Totally understandable break, take care of yourself!

Amy Fuchs

FYI: I'm on my laptop and there is no way to get to the store from here. Clicking the title of the post just reloads the post. There are no other links or buttons to click!

David Husa

I doubt most of your Patreon patrons noticed. Take it easy. I support you because I learn a lot from every video you put out, and you couldn't keep that up if you had to succumb to the typical new media model of transactional pandering and amusement.

Yvette

Honestly, everyone needs a month to have their meltdown. Hope you’re doing a lot better and take care.

Josh Spicer

Surprised there's no "Thanks I hate it" merch yet. Or is that too new on the Lindsay Ellis Recurring Theme List.

PogieJoe

Love the merch! Take all the time you need to crisis. Your work is always worth the wait.

Dycehart

Sick merch!! Take all the time you need :) I love your content so I'm personally here to support you and your process.

Eileen Nguyen

I don't want to tell you how to feel because that's your business and not mine, but I don't see a need for you to feel bad or guilty. (Actually I've been really busy at work and wouldn't have had time to watch a new video but would have been sad and staring longingly at YouTube in my browser, so really I should be thanking you for not putting me through that) Also I would love to see a See How I Glitter item, should that not fall into copyright issues and especially if you can put it on something that actually glitters.

Lindsay Ellis

There is absolutely "see how I glitter" merch in the pipeline

CodeTako

No one can continue to make good things if they destroy themselves making good things. A large part of why I support you here is so that you can take proper care of yourself and keep making interesting things without worrying as much about money. Patrons are supposed to be more about supporting an artist doing their own thing, not customers with contracts for x pieces of art. Right? Anyways, hope you had a recuperative break, and take whatever more time you need. Keep on keeping on.

Andrea Beauvais

The “It’s fine.” Mug is the greatest piece of art I’ve ever seen and I can’t wait to fill my cupboard with them xD The designs for everything is so perfect and wonderful. Please pass on my praise to all parties involved in these products! ❤️

Scott Ricketts

Don't sweat it! Happy to still be a Patron and your work is worth waiting for. Take all the time you need.

Askeptosaurus

Does your Whole Plate University shirt have Latin on it, or am I just too blind to read it? And if that is a Latin motto, what does it say?

Frances Webb

I didn't think I'd be interested in merch, but followed the link. Ordered the It's Fine mug. I think everyone I know will understand the joke, even if they have never seen a Lindsay Ellis video.

#1 Gossip Girl Fan

FINALLY, an enamel pin that causes Jason Alexander's voice to rebound around the inside of my skull!! (Also, never apologize--great content takes time, and at least one quality meltdown.)

Cinebeast

these are AMAZING

TalysAlankil

Is the Patreon discount permanent or will it go away once the merch store goes live for everyone? I might need that "it's fine" mug but I need to research if DFTBA is all right for shipping to Europe. Also don't apologize for not posting anything. We're all mentally broke.

Belinda Zoller

Yaaaay welcome to the DFTBA store family :) Congrats on the merch launch!

Gabe

Thank you for pre-empting my question.

Gabe

I just want to say Lindsay, I hope you feel better, and please hang in there, you're wonderful.

Exprmntle

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make merch with "Thanks, I hate it" on it!

Sarah Jesness

Nice! I may spring for an It's Fine mug, or that I <3 My Monster Boyfriend shirt!

FauxRetro

Super into The Whole Plate shirt...but is it 100% cotton or one of those cotton/poly blend shirts?

LeeBee

I hope you're feeling better

Rodri

Finally I can proof to my friends that the degree I earned is a real one!

Scott Hutcheson

A second vote for some "Thanks, I hated it!" merch.

M. R. Turnage

I say, "This is fine. It's fine. She's fine." ALL of the time, so it will be a pleasure to have it on a coffee mug.

Miss Jess

I would love something sparkly that says "See how I glitter!"

Sata Prescott

Also, best wishes on your mental health. You're doing more good than bad.

Owen Kroeger

The link leads to a site that gives the message: "No products found in this collection."

Minimag

You know what would fix that youtuber meltdown problem? A trip to Milwaukee to get drunk and do a crossover episode with redlettermedia. That's all I want in life, for you and Jay to talk about obscure movie nonsense related to shitty vhs movies from the 80s.
