Hello, everyone! Welcome to another update on my projects.

The Next Album: Album 5

I'm excited to share some details about my upcoming release, Album 5: The Fifth Album. Here are some tracks you can expect:

"Plight of the Artist"

"I'd Intercept Me"

"Dommy Mommy"

I'm also considering "Jolly Roger", though it might be a bit too short.

Track Lineup

So far, we have a mix of themes:- A sad girl song- A sex song- An F-22 inspired track- Possibly another sex songIt seems like a decent lineup, right? Unfortunately, "Burlington" and "I See All" aren't quite up to my standards yet. They're close, but not quite there. I'll release them once they're perfect, which could be...eventually.

Song Tweaks

For "I See All", I'm thinking of removing the vocal effects from James' verses to let his talent shine through. "Burlington" needs different effects that work better, as I went overboard with the current ones.

The Unfinished Gems

I can't let go of "Too Smart", even though it's not quite finished. It's in a similar state as "I See All"—almost there, but not quite. The version of "I See All" with the uwus was so much better, and I'm upset I couldn't get that to work.

EP Plans

Album 5 will probably be an EP rather than a full album. It's been a month since I released anything truly decent on YouTube. I'm counting on the F-22 song, "I'd Intercept Me", and "Dommy Mommy" to be my moneymakers for early fall. Once Nik finishes the art for these tracks, I'll get them off to the distributor. I might make a few tiny changes to "I'd Intercept Me", but it's mostly where I want it to be.

Upcoming Releases

Nik is expected to finish the F-22 girl art by Friday, and the Dommy Mommy Charli art two weeks after that. So, YouTube will be missing me for a few more weeks, but I won't be slowing down here.

Commissions

I got a personal commission from someone, which will be super nerdy and super cute. That'll probably be next week project.

Taking a Break

I plan on taking the weekend off (minus the obligatory ramblings here) unless inspiration strikes. I've been working hard these last few weeks, and now that I have a really good song in "Dommy Mommy", I think I've earned a weekend of spoiling myself. 😇

Closing Thoughts

I got Pokémon Arcaeus on switch and I have to say...WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FUCKING DIALOGUE. DO I LOOK LIKE BRAND NEW TO YOU, NINTENDO? I'M HERE TO CATCH POKÉMON, NOT PRESS A 1000X TO GET THROUGH UNSKIPPABLE DIALOGUE SEQUENCES I A TUTORIAL THAT I DON'T NEED. I'M A POKÉMON MASTER, NINTENDO. I FUCKS WITH POKÉMON. LET ME GO. I HATE DIALOGUE BOXES. OMFG, DIALOGUE BOXES. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ANIMAL CROSSING. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE FRUSTRATED THAN WITH A GAME THAT DOESN'T LET ME CRAFT MORE THAN ONE ITEM AT A TIME. DO I LOOK LIKE I ONLY NEED ONE SHITTY LITTLE AXE? NO? YOU THINK I PROBABLY NEED 99 SHITTY LITTLE AXES? FUNNY THAT, NINTENDO. MAYBE LET ME CRAFT 99 OF THEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE I TOLERATED THIS ONCE UPON A TIME. LITTLE CHARLI HAD WAY MORE PATIENCE THAN I DO. GAME NEEDS MODS BAD. YOU WANNA KNOW A GREAT MOD, NINTENDO? HOW ABOUT I DON'T HAVE TO CONFIRM WHEN I WANT TO USE A WORKBENCH. OBVIOUSLY, I WANT TO CRAFT SOMETHING OR I WOULDN'T BE AT THE CRAFTING TABLE.Anyway, yeah, so Super Smash is cool, though, and I'm an Ike main because he has big Guts energy.

Early Night

I'm going to bed early tonight—2 AM is early for me, but my nightshift hype squad knows that! 😅As always, thanks for reading, my lovely lovelies 🤍🤍🤍
