Facing Ungodly Sounds and Acid in Hollow Knight

I've got another Hollow Knight episode!

I was intending to work on a new Red Dead Redemption II video at some point but I'm trying to find time to obtain a recording from my PS4. So for now I've just got some more Hollow Knight content to share with you guys!

Once Thankmas is passed and I've taken care of most if not all rewards associated with it, I'm shifting gears to editing down the spare gaming content that I still have remaining. While Hollow Knight will be a high priority, I will put more focus in...

Hunters Page 179 (+WIP Images!)

December will certainly be slower for lots of content, Hunters pages included. However, I have already planned on giving the comic a hiatus...for public viewers that is!

I'm hoping to finish at least one or two more pages this month and providing to patrons before I release them once more on Webtoons starting January 1st. For now, here's the next page of Hunters for you!

Nysha's hyperactivity I feel has gotten more and more expressive and obvious over time, at least that's how I see it. Alina provides a nice balancing act to her ...

Deadly Laser Beams! in Hollow Knight Part 12

The Crystal Peak is probably one of the most cursed areas I've had to explore in Hollow Night. The enemies are varied and ridiculous to fight, I am frequently playing "The Floor Is Lava" game, and there are far too many laser beams trying to kill me as I attempt to reach an area to gain an ability I need to progress.

*sighs*.......

Well, hopefully an old moth lady can help me figure some of this stuff out.

Working Hard on Compilations!

Normally I'm not putting so much focus on compilations, especially concerning content from other YouTubers...but this time of year is a little different!

For the third year in a row, I'm participating in the Thankmas livestreaming event, and I will be streaming for 8 consecutive days to achieve a minimum donation goal of $2,000! In order to make this happen I needed to have some decent incentive for people to donate even little bits of money for this.

What better way than to offer super duper early releases of co...

RDRII Part 19 | Hunting Animals and Helping Micah

My sis and I are back at it in Red Dead Redemption II! We decided to extend our recording sessions to about an hour-and-a-half per turn.

It was my turn now, and I wanted to search for some dino bones, some of which were located! And then suddenly I was in Legendary Animal territory with quite a trek!

Aaaaand then....*sighs*

Seren told me to help Micah since he was so close by. So I guess I had no choice.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my stateside patrons!

No Project Request or Art Commissions for December!

Hey all!

Wanted to put this out there for current patrons or an potential prospective patrons! Due to the huge commitment I have set aside for the Thankmas charity event next month (I will be streaming games, art, activities, etc. for 8 consecutive days between December 4th and December 11th), and given the fact that I have plenty of individual rewards set aside for donors as well as rewards to prep for regarding community rewards, I will have a huge project load for the next 3 weeks to prepare for Thankmas, and I will...

Hunters Page 178!

I rather enjoyed drawing this page of Hunters, for a few reasons! The varying emotions and faces of the wolves, the easier time I had with the backgrounds...it was such a pleasure!

Can't wait to introduce a new character in just a few pages!

Simplified Story Summaries

I couldn't tell you exactly where I came up with this idea, but I would definitely like to put some more focus on my writing, because it means a lot to me. I mean, I've been writing longer than I've been drawing and YouTubing combined!

I have lots of story ideas, and all of them are trilogies or longer. Some even span multiple series (though that's only a couple of them)! Naturally, some are still not well thought out. Some still require research. But then there are stories that I have been thinking about and developing for years now, ...

South Park Season 11 Episode 5 (Fantastic Easter Special)

Well this episode was flat-out wack!

It took turns I did not expect, and I think I learned more about Easter than I needed to. This episode definitely goes to show my lack of knowledge about most religions out there, but in an odd way South Park is able to teach me little bits and pieces.

And no, I know that St. Peter was NOT in fact actually a rabbit! I can usually tell fact from parody regarding South Park episodes (though the Scientology thing many episodes ago did catch me off guard).

7 Days To Die Part 7

Holy moly, editing this episode gave me such problems. Well, namely the problems stemmed more from the ridiculous amount of time trying to export the video file. I need to stop trying to record 1080p game files that end up being 3, 4, 5 hours in length....they just create problems when editing and exporting.

Enough complaining though. This particular episode was definitely focused on both resource-gathering and humor. Especially regarding benny. That guy cannot seem to catch a break when it comes to our ragtag trio in 7 Days!<...

The Soul Sanctum | Hollow Knight Part 11

I told you I would be pushing to...well, push these Hollow Knight videos out! I've got to catch up on as many as possible before Thankmas this year (in just a few weeks), but I won't make it an absolute necessity.

This new area of Hallownest has some of the toughest enemies I have faced thus far. Those that have been corrupted by soul are teleporters and have ways to defend themselves from near and far. And the Soul Master himself...

I NEED the Desolative Dive ability. I need to access more of Hallownest and uncover more of this ...

Hunters Page 177 (+WIP Images!)

I need to better examine my schedule for releasing more pages to you guys earlier than they're released!!

Anyways, here's the next page of Hunters for you guys! Laruk is feeling very overwhelmed and she makes sure the others know it. Naturally, Alina is trying to figure out what is going on while hyperactive Nysha is getting a little ahead of herself (at least based on the previous page).

A lot of the backgrounds were almost identical based on the perspectives of characters on each panel, so for once the backgrounds weren't too c...

South Park Season 11 Episode 4 (The Snuke)

Sorry for the long delay, but I finally have another South Park reaction for everyone!

Thanks so much to the people willing to support despite the huge change I made with the South Park content in recent weeks. It is greatly appreciated and I do hope to provide plenty of people good content and reactions. And, while I'm not yet sure on the limit, I am actually able to upload videos to Patreon itself so now I can provide patrons with [hopefully] higher quality reactions.

There won't be a set schedule for South Park any longer but ...

Hunters Page 176!

Another Hunters page for you!

I gotta say that lately I've noticed stark differences between the initial and the final draft versions of some of the most recent pages, and it's crazy how I just remember who's who in which panel.

On to the story, Nysha and Alina are quickly "reunited" and Nysha does not hesitate to frantically tell the story of what happened that day with their quick hunting expedition, while Laruk stands in the background with quite the look on her face.

I'll hold off on releasing the next public H...

Major Channel Changes...Thoughts?

I recently watched a video from YouTuber DougDoug which he calls the Guide for New Content Creators (which I will link above, it's a great video despite its length!). I'm not a new content creator of course! But that doesn't mean that some of his advice wasn't invaluable information. This is a bit of a longer post, but I hope people read as it there is a huge impact on my upcoming video content.

For reasons, I have recently been thinking of ways to promote my channel and increase viewership, audience, and monetization....

October Request Poll

Sorry for the lateness everybody! I intended to get this poll up a little sooner, but some rough situations with the home and finances got in the way and I couldn't catch up to everything. I'm worried I may need to adjust things in the coming months as well.

Anyways, with that out of the way! Here are the options that some patrons requested for an activity/project from me; select which you'd like me to do for the month of October! (I still have last month's request to fulfill which is to play Jackbox with the community, which I may end...

Drawing Another AMA Poll!

Please only select your top TWO picks for whichever question you'd like answered in a Poppy illustration. I will draw the top 3 choices but only the top pick will be shared publicly, so choose wisely! I can see who picked what and how many choices they picked so please only choose two max otherwise I have to run the poll again!

____________________________________________________________________________________

While a bit slower, the AMAs are shaping up to be quite the ...

AMA Draw Strips #2

Oh man, I almost forgot about this! Thank goodness I was recently checking back on all my posts!

For those unaware, I let the public YouTube community ask me whatever question they want. I put those questions into a poll here on Patreon, and the top three picks will get answered, but by my ottersona Poppy and in drawn format! Better yet, patrons can easily view all those questions, but only one will be selected for the public community, so you guys are getting a good deal out of this!

Can't wait to see what the next batch of ques...

Two Questions For You!

It's been a while since I've focused a bit more on my writing, whether it's Awakening or general advice for others.

I was looking through some old posts and realized that while I had made a post detailing my process behind creating a variety of characters, using some of my own characters from Awakening as examples, there were still other topics I had been meaning to discuss. So I'd like to do that! Pick whichever topic tickles your fancy for wanting to know more about, and throw in some more ideas / suggestions / specifics in the comme...

Hunters Page 175

I've been working on some more comic pages while on vacation, because art is very relaxing for me, and because in order to stick to my usual schedule I needed to spend a little time in recent days working on new comic page material.

Even with high-quality adjustments my phone doesn't take quite as good of pictures of the pages as my scanner does, but by the time this page releases I'll be able to scan a proper page.

You guys still get to see the story unfold before everyone else though! Alina and Kalip are still having a bit of a...

Reminding You Of Exclusive Content! (Dec. 1 Update!)

Heya patrons! The last week or so has been a bit slow since I've been on vacation, but I've still been trying to push out some Patreon content! I've also had some newcomers show up to support me, which I greatly appreciate. So I thought I'd put together a little post of all the early access and exclusive to Patreon only content that you guys have access to right now! Because there is indeed a lot of cool things that many of you get that either are not publicly available yet, or will not be made public that you can see!

South Park Season 11 Episode 3 (Lice Capades)

This will be the last South Park reaction I give to you guys before I return from my vacation with my sister!

I was most certainly thoroughly confused with the B-plot of this episode, understandably! South Park certainly has its moments of throwing random nonsense at its viewers, even if various plots do make sense when put together. I didn't have too many thoughts on this, and I could not quite identify the references.

I definitely got to do some more research; there's more than The Thing and global warming and [potenti...

South Park Season 11 Episode 2 (Cartman Sucks)

Another South Park video for you guys! And boy was this quite the episode to watch.

Hunters Page 174

I bring you another page of Hunters Chapter 3!

We've quickly switched from Nysha and the hunting patrol to Alina and some familiar characters that I haven't solidly drawn in a while. And they are having a rather interesting conversation.

Working to finish the next page before month's end for you patrons!

Revisiting An Old Game

Patrons were told recently that Layers of Fear would be revisited but that there was a twist.

This right here is just the beginning. Expect an October full of videos with me playing this game.

Just be prepared for some spooks, and for a rather unusual commentary you guys probably aren't used to. It's my turn now.

South Park Season 11 Begins With Apologies to Jesse Jackson!

How many of you have been waiting for this??

With my certification program finally coming to an end (though I am still not regularly recording again just yet), I can take a breather and start to create videos once more. I said in a recent OtterVlog that I was planning on starting Season 11 reactions soon but that they would not be published until the timeframe of late October-November due to the interruption of my 11-day long vacation with my family.

But patrons are not the public.

I may not be super regular, but South Park...

It's Genshin Time

I told patrons recently that I would be playing this at some point....what you might not have known was the fact that I was already planning to play it days after writing that particular post where I first mentioned it.

Most of my gaming videos take time to edit, but these Genshin Impact videos will be an exception. Open world games often take a lot more time just with figuring out inventory, side quests, exploring, and puzzle-solving, but at the same time I am trying to provide as much commentary as possible unlike many of my...

September Project Request Poll

Here are the options that some patrons picked for their September project request! Select which you'd like me to do for this month!

Inside Look at Upcoming Content!

I've got a lot in store, guys!

With my certification program drawing to a close I can finally work to resume normal content (though this likely won't completely start back up until after my family and I return from our 11-day Minnesota vacation). And I have already begun prepping for the coming month.

October is coming up, which means a few things. Decorations will be set up in our house soon (my sister Seren absolutely loves decorating for Halloween), and there are plans to put together a littl...

Epic Games Stash Poll!

I was changing around a bunch of files on my computer when I noticed my Epic Games app...and I gotta say, I don't remembered getting half of these games! But I thought it might be interesting to explore a few of them since Epic Games in general has been gathering a lot of dust on my computer lately.

So let's hear it. Which of these games should I play and why? I'll probably put a poll on YouTube as well...but patrons are getting first pick.
