Rest of July
🕑 Added 2023-07-12 22:02:57 +0000 UTCAs I've been open with, I had a long conversation with Caitlin again and it's so easy to over promise on content before jumping into everything. I've done this for a long time, I understand why I do, but now I'm going to just try to move my own way and hope that it's understandable for you all.
As a suggestion, I will be trying marathon style videos for some of the shorter content we don't do often. I tested it with the Studio Choom video we did the other day that you guys' seemed to enjoy and engage well with. I'm glad that they were still enjoyable even if dance isn't my area of familiarity. I would enjoy watching more of those things with you all. I'll be doing compilations of studio chooms, live stages, etc posted as one big video periodically as a way to keep them around. I'm still trying to figure out a good way to take suggestions for those videos.
There's no dates or episode numbers in this overview. Everything brings me stress when I am trying to fulfill a quota and allows for people to question me or expect things of me, which I've noticed I don't handle well. I took this style of "schedule" from some of the anime pages I follow, they simply have a post saying what will be covered in the week/month without episode requirements. It feels better this way. This makes it so if something is here in this post, you can expect some sort of coverage on it within the month. I'm not wanting to burnout, I thought about doing videos nearly every day I was gone and anticipated these releases so much more when I removed myself from the stress. I don't want to quit, this is all I've wanted to do. I think that this will help keep me in shape to keep going. It allows me to tell you "Hey, we'll be checking this out this month." without making it as easy for people to say "Where's episode XX of ___" under other pieces of content or in my messages. Please be respectful and understanding of this. Thank you in advance.
I've just returned home, two days before posting this and I will be leaving at the end of this month as well for a quick stop at a convention with friends 26-29th. I won't be scheduling too much this month, things will likely be bulk uploaded but I will make sure there's content going up on those days I'm away.
If this helps, I will be continuing this in the future, as a compromise between what you want and what I want/can handle. I will continue to work on backlog as well, I will not quantify it but I'll do my best to work through it.
Please do not leave requests on this post or question backlog content, trust me that I have a list and I will work through it as best as I can.
I am sorry to anyone I have disappointed or have upset, but I'd rather promise less and do more, than always feel like I'm doing less. Once I'm in my own space and feeling more confident and secure, I think things may feel better, but for now, please just be understanding and allow me to try things and just figure it out.
If you have any questions, let me know. I am looking forward to trying this out this month.
*If you are in the request tier, you are free to send this month's request as well to my DM! Taking them until July 18th, since this will be my first week within the month home.*
- We'll be finishing filming Bloodhounds today, another kdrama poll may not come in July or Aug. since I will be filming the first drama for YouTube and it will be posted on Patreon.
- What are you guys' thoughts on R U NEXT? Survival? I haven't heard too much on the show besides it being I-LAND 2, but now I've just gotten news that MNET took the rights from HYBE and now I-LAND 2 will come out next year.
- If I added a gg in the rotation, would you prefer NewJeans or Le SSERAFIM?

Hi, I just wanted to check in and ask whether this is still the plan as Julys almost over 😅
malina
this sounds like a great plan and i hope that above all, u feel comfortable and happy !! thank u for the transparency and i’m glad u’re putting ur health first. as for gg content, i’d definitely prefer le sserafim content, they’re so enjoyable to watch.
Pai
I hope you are able to find a balance point in the future. It’s always trial and error, so I hope you don’t feel the need to always apologize. If anything I think most of us understand or are able to empathize. Most important thing is your health, whether that’s mentally or physically. Super grateful for everything you put out! Without you there’d be no too crew, we’re all here for you! I haven’t heard much about ru next either. Tbh I haven’t been keeping up with any survival shows lol. For the gg questions I would lean towards le sserafim bc they’re pretty funny, but I think new jeans might have more content.

I'm happy you're moving towards a balance that works for you. The most important thing is that those watching will have a good time if you are having a good time so I think that's best for everyone if this is less stressful and it's still a great set of content! I haven't seen ru next yet, Just been too busy to check out some longer form content lately but I'd still be interested. I've only checked out le sserafim's short documentary detailing their pre debut preparations and I thought it was really cool so Id vote for them.

This sounds great man whatever makes it more enjoyable and less stressful and people still know you are working hard for the content. R U Next I haven’t seen much for it at least on my time line, like other shows maybe I’m just not following those accounts lol but I’m waiting for some more episodes, haven’t watched too many girl group survival shows. Out of new jeans/le sserafim is vote le sserafim their content seems fun from what I’ve seen so far but biased because of Sakura and chaewon when they were in izone lol Also can’t wait for you to hear zb1 debut after boys planet it was great

definitely seems like a good content roll out idea instead of having set dates! for sure more healthy to keep up with R U NEXT has been enjoyable so far (granted there's only 2 eps rn) and as far as adding a gg in the rotation as someone that watches both all of NewJeans and Le Ssearfim's content i would say the fimmies content is for sure more entertaining and captivating (which has given them the nickname "full time comedians part time idols" lmao).

much love to u ant!! hope u get to rest and feel better, do something refreshing and take care!! schedule looks great

This sounds like a nice, healthy way to produce content. Tbh, I’ve never been disappointed with your release schedule changes/adjustments. I just personally think you gotta do what you gotta do to make it as enjoyable as possible for YOU, so you don’t grow tired of it all. Looking forward to everything you’ve planned to watch and upload. (I can’t promise to interact with every new post though because I know I won’t be able to watch immediately after release. 😞 I’m always busy and have quite a lot of videos to watch backed up.)

sounds good, hopefully, u can get some of this weight off your shoulders. i have no thoughts on the upcoming survival shows. don't keep up with survival shows anymore that much, and it being for girl groups which I still struggle with doesn't really interest me either. so ill most likey be silently creepin' on those episodes
rae
love u anthony, do what works for u 🖤 as for the last question, i say le sserafim but i know new jeans has more content lol
