I hope that everyone is doing amazingly! Just wanted to take a moment to quickly update everyone on some things:
Chicago Trip
I just came home from my trip with Topher to Chicago yesterday evening. I've been sleeping ever since lol
We had such a blast! I absolutely love the city and hope to live in the area again someday. It was also SO nice to show Topher things about the city that I love and we even visited some of my favorite places when I lived there(Joong Boo Market, in particular). If you've been following my Twitter and Instagram, you've probably seen many of those pictures from the trip.
There's videos that will come out at some point etc, but overall, it was such a great time. From Meeting Topher again (in person), to meeting SOOOOO many A'tin, and the many things we did in between - it was amazing. I absolutely LOVE meeting you all and taking sharing in these big moments. I really hope to do more of that in the future.
August: Family Time
Over the next week, I will be recording A LOT of videos. Like, 3-4 weeks worth of videos.
Why?
Well, I haven't been home to Pennsylvania to visit my mom or my grandmother in a while and I've been really wanting to. My family is aging and my grandmother is the last grandparent I have and that's been weighing on my heart a lot recently. Over the last year (since Angel's death) and my grandfathers, I've thought a lot about our time together and just wishing that I had more time. Ya know? Much of the time, I stuff those feelings down because I have a lot of things that I have to do (always). I think we fool ourselves sometimes into thinking, "Well, once I [insert milestone here] is completed, I'll have so much more time." The reality is, however, it continues to get worse as more things demand more time.
Therapy has also been bringing much of that up as well. Plus, if I'm being honest, I've been burning out a little and last week, I just made the decision that I need to go back and spend time there where I don't have my PC. It just seems as though everything is pointing me in that direction.
Videos this week
This week, I will only be releasing the latest His Man that I have. I know that might be a little disappointing, but hear me out!
Over this coming week I will be recording 3 - 4 episodes of every series that we're watching together (including Peak Time). PLUS, a few movies and anime. These will be released while I'm away throughout the entire month of August. For you all, it will be as if I'm not even gone!
But to do that, I need a lot of time to record, edit, upload, and then the servers to process the videos so that they can be released.
I hope that makes sense and allows me to come back into our good graces π
Public Videos
Unfortunately, I've been hearing through the grapevines (directly and indirectly) that I need to make some of my videos less public due to some companies. They don't like even for a reactor to have watch-a-longs of their full content out there for free.
From the very beginning of my channel, I have always wanted to keep my content as free as possible. I still have this desire and it still my ultimate goal. However, things like my movie reactions, anime reactions, and even some shows will have to be released behind the paywall.
The good news is that we have a very small wall already at $2. The bad news is that those who have relied on the free public releases will no longer be able to access some of those.
I sincerely apologize for this and wish that our hands weren't being forced.
Conclusion
As always, I love to hear from you all about all of this and everything. My comment section is and will remain a place for all of us to come together to chat about things. I'm also always open to constructive feedback as well.
Thank you all for your continued support, it really does mean the world to me.

Hi Shawn, Iβm a new patreon who signed up so I could access some of the restricted videos (due to copyright etc). However I noticed that this round of videos arenβt open yet for my tier although it usually is open on Sunday? Or has the schedule changed? Just wanted to check in so I can keep track

It's easy to get burnt out when doing content and life things. I know I often think, "Okay, I can get back to doing all the things," and end up right back to burn out or over stressed. Please take the time you need. Spend time with family and enjoying things. You can't always give all your time to the channel (and content) and that's okay. And being a creator and being online all the time can be rough sometimes. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your Chicago/concert trip. I also hope to go to Chicago again someday. β€

You do you boo. I get being burned out. I'm in my last week of the semester and fall is my last one before I graduate. I'm glad you had fun in Chicago and have a good time with your family!
