First monthly newsletter talking about what I'm up to!
Hey y'all! I'm doing pretty good this month, things are starting to pick up and I'm really hoping to have more videos on the channel this month! (I have 3 currently planned, paid members get to see what they are 👀)
College has taken up a good amount of my time (as it always does) but I think I'm starting to manage it way better so yay! For college I'm investing most of my time into writing a screenplay and creating a short film, so I'm hoping that goes smoothly! I try my best to keep my online life and real life separate, however I do have to acknowledge how much of my creative time goes into this one way or another XD Maybe I'll share! I did show a sizzle reel of some college projects during the rebrand video.
Also, here's another look at the new intro!!! I had a lot of fun animating this and composing it in after effects. Mark "Nowa" Taylor composed the little jingle, (if you remember them from Fazbear Finale's OST pieces)
Finally being through the movie has upped my confidence a ton and I really hope things look up going forwards. New video didn't do as good as I was hoping, but we press on. Who knows! The algorithm is weird, maybe it'll turn around.
Speaking of weird algorithm things, wow that video on the second channel is doing really well!
I am ever so slightly bitter that it was a video I took like 3 hours making but whatever XD. Anything that'll help get the channel monetized the sooner the better! Once that happens I really want to upload on there a ton more, just uploaded a new video on there! Second channel videos are more or less gonna take a lot less effort and just be more for fun. I have a few planned! I've got some ppl asking about a plush collection, which I would like to do but I don't really have many new plushies from 2025. I HAVE considered doing a room tour so maybe I'll do that! (might have to clean up a bit first oops). It's basically a collection video. Just less I guess.
I'm also developing a whole new wave of stuff for the merch store 👀 It's in very early stages rn, but I'll have more progress shown for paid members in the coming months!So yeah, that's about it for my free access talks, I wanna try giving SOMETHING to free access folks to possibly entice them to becoming a paid member... it helps a lot! But very little here will remain completely private forever. So don't feel obligated!
HEY Cool paid members what's good
Alright let's get down to business, so what ARE those three new videos I have planned for February?
The New Muppets Show Pilot is Hopecore
I absolutely ADORE the Muppets! And the new pilot was so so much fun! This will probably be a shorter video as will be the next one. But this will likely come out first! Maybe this is ever so slightly capitalizing on the buzz of the pilot, but I have a lot to say and talk about in relation to the Muppets, the Pilot, and their absence in the last decade!
Hope to have this out in the next week! Script is almost done!
HEX FNAF Plush - The Strangest FNAF Merch
Awhile back Warren James actually reached out to me to send me a TON of Hex stuff! I was considering making this a second channel video, however I felt bad as they reached out to me on main and it'd feel a bit disingenuous to upload that on a channel with far less reach.
But I have a lot to say about Hex! Some good, some bad. So I think it'll make for an interesting video. I'm already loving the script so far. Hopefully they aren't too mad at me for not endlessly glazing them. But all I have to say is for the desire for Hex to improve. Plus I'm sure it'll mean a lot more when I have nice things to say if you can tell I'm being honest about it!
I mean they didn't pay more nor make me sign anything, so I guess they can only be so upset.
Also I can't lie, a video of this nature is gonna have way more reach than a standard "review" who knows, maybe I'll convince some folks to buy Hex stuff. This is actually why I made that Youtube Short promoting the hoodie.
Also Dawko followed me on twitter!!! Wow that's neat!!! At what point do you think I get to call him oomf?
This will come after the Muppets video, There's a slight chance the third video isn't out by the end of the month. But it would be pretty early in March if it isn't!
The Weirdest Mario Plush Videos You Forgot About
I remember this series from a LONG time ago, and I've been wanting to make this video for awhile! Cause this series is fuckin weird! In all the recent retrospectives I've watched about Mario Plush Videos I have yet to see ANYONE talk about this one.
So, this is gonna be fun! It's been in the back of my mind for awhile, and I love what I have so far. This will likely be the longest of the three. Probably 25-30 minutes. I don't wanna spoil too much, so I'll leave it at that.
INVADE THE PLUSHVERSE - CRYSTAL CHAOS
Here it is! My last standing plush series, I am so incredibly excited to really sink my teeth into this. However, I know people are eager to see it; so I will be drip-feeding content every month!
I have quite a lot written in terms of the synopsis and scope, my plan is 26 episodes. mostly running at about 11-15 minutes a piece. With 4-5 episodes nearing the 20-30 minute mark spaced through the show. If things go well this is going to be CRAZY. I have so many ideas on evolving my format and I hope everything goes as planned! I aim to have all my pre-production elements done by the end of the summer. The plan is to have the first batch of 4 episodes finished at the same time so I can premiere them all in a line. I'm still back and forth on the idea of needing funding to make the rest of the show (yes, I am that serious about how far I wanna take this)
However, if the main channel does well I might not even need that. I can do most of the work myself. it's just a handful of things such as set design cost and voice acting that would need additional assistance. Please keep your expectations at a minimum though, I share this stuff with y'all cause I appreciate the support and want to give you little tidbits! This stuff isn't hard locked, so take it with a grain of salt.
To leave off, here's the first look at Travis' redesign for the series! Thanks for the support!
