Today is my birthday!! Thank y'all for making my 21st year of life one of my very best for this channel. I can't wait for what 22 is gonna look like!!
I have a big video in the editing process right now that I can't wait to share with you guys, but until then, go be dears and like my birthday Instagram post if you're awesome like that :)
In case you missed it, I just released a new (and very long) video on the main channel and it's also available without ads on Patreon if you want to be awesome and give me a little extra money (video is one five dollars over there!!)
Anyway, y'all are awesome, and I hope you enjoy the new video!!
Hey y’all, I know I haven’t posted in like 3 weeks now but do not worry that I have vanished from YouTube or anything like that!!
Quite the opposite actually, I’ve just been super locked in working on a VERY LONG video that will hopefully be coming out pretty soon if I can really lock in on editing next week.
Very excited to share that one with y’all, it’s actually a video I’ve been working on in some capacity for like 2 years now so yea, excited stuff.
After that, I have another video idea that might make for an even LONGER video, but I’m trying to keep that concept under wraps while I grind on a script. Should have pretty relaxed editing workflow for that one though, so I’m not too concerned!
Anyway, good stuff on the way, all stuff I’m hoping to have out before my twenty second birthday in August, so hopefully I can work a little B-Day magic and make it happen.
My future channel goals are getting even more famous!! So keep supporting and help make my dreams come true😁
For the first time in like 9 months, I can officially say I have a new video on Patreon right now, and it's set to release to the public this Friday!!
This past year has really been a crazy one, between graduating from college, moving to a new apartment, and just dealing with all kinds of life stuff. But, now I am back to (hopefully) make you all happy with some new videos!!
I plan to aim for weekly or bi-weekly uploads soon. More information surrounding my plan for that is on the way, but until then, I hope y'all will enjoy my newest video and remain excited for what's to come.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for supporting me even as I've stepped away from this channel; it has meant the world to me!!
First of all, I would like to apologize for the channel's relative quietness over the past few months. I promise you I've wanted to release more and work on a greater number of videos, but full transparency, life has just gotten crazy lately.
I'm in my senior year of college, looking to graduate this May, and I've been so overwhelmed by classes and various life commitments that I've struggled to focus on my creative passions. I've tried my best to stay active on Instagram, posting some reels content, but even then, my schedule has really prevented me from making even those shorter-form videos.
Additionally, I have just been super burnt out on YouTube. I was making videos pretty consistently over the summer and putting so much time into them, only to see so little relative success from them, and it led me down this path of exhaustion with the whole idea of video-making. YouTube can be incredibly draining, especially when you feel as though the work you put out isn't being rewarded to the extent you would like, and with algorithmic changes last year, I certainly started to feel like my channel wasn't getting the love I wanted it to.
Going off that, I guess I was also just burnt out on life for a bit there. I had a really difficult summer in regard to personal life, and while I tried to work through it, all the depressive feelings I was juggling at the time caught up to me by fall and winter of 2025, and it did take time for me to build myself back up, getting in the way of my ability to produce new stuff for you all.
But, I am going to try to be back in a bit of a major way going forward. I'm really challenging myself this year to release more consistent videos, probably a lot more bite-sized ones, and to just create in a way that feels comfortable and easy for me to do.
That probably means some less-scripted stuff, less of me on camera because the whole act of filming in itself can be so demanding, especially in my shoebox dorm, and just an increased focus on creating what I'm passionate about.
All that being said, I am currently working on a long-form video, perhaps my most ambitious one yet, stringing together clips and analysis from a bunch of different movies to talk about a horror sub-genre I think is super underrated.
Pictured above is a little screenshot of my editing bay for the video right now, and there's a sneak peek at the intro for it over on my Patreon right now.
Hope you've all been well, and I'm incredibly happy to be back!!
In case you missed my post about it on Instagram, I recently had the pleasure of featuring in a video for @jamesdewayne where I got to list off some of my favorite horror movies ever!! Super exciting collab and definitely one you should check out if you're at all interested in getting the perfect wachlist for this wonderfully spooky month!!
Why am I discovering that all the videos where I show the slightest bit of cleavage have been flagged as "mature content" by YouTube and aren't visible without completing age verification...
Like my Sinners video, my Friday remake video, and even the SahBabii video I did, it's all been flagged. But somehow my Weapons video, about a very mature topic, is completely unflagged.
That is crazyyyy. Lowkey explains why my stuff has been performing so poorly, even when it's of such high quality.
And y'all ask me why I censor certain words in my videos lmao
I love this platform and all the rules it implements without the input of the people who make it successful!!
Blessed to have such a supportive fanbase on here, genuinely working on new videos as we speak and I can’t wait to be back producing stuff for y’all soon!!
20 was my favorite year of the channel yet, and I think 21 will be even better!!
