hey! i hope you are all doing well.

i unfortunately don't have much to say at the moment in the way of My Own things, BUT! at long last, i can now announce that i am/was an official guest on the second ever DELTACAST on ‪@MysticSlime‬ 's channel! come and see a slightly more tired than usual molly ramble with her peers about the video game. i don't remember most of what i said in it but i'm sure it was pretty profound.

...progress on my own side of things has been going pretty well! i was occupied with taking care of some changes in my IRL situation that have now started to finally settle, which means i'll be able to start actually doing more than just brainstorming after the whirlwind of a summer this was! but even then, i'm still feeling very good about what i have at the moment, although i can feel my creative gut is itching to really make more things again, finally. i'll see where it takes me, but just know i'm doing alright =v= will let you know if there's anything to show!

as always, take care of urselves, and also happy 10th UT anniversary!! ^^

hiya. long read ahead (not all bad news, dw)

it's been a bit since i last updated, and i want to just get you up to speed on where i've been at lately.

i wanna apologize for not much progress coming as of late for the next video; since getting a decent outline of everything done, i wanted to get straight to writing/recording, but i'll just keep it a buck with you: july up to now has been particularly rough on me and thrown me completely off course of my original plan for this time of year. it's not all bad! but it's not at all what i was expecting.

this year has unsurprisingly been a very hectic and unpredictable one, and it's been hard to find stability throughout, as i'm sure is the case for A Lot of people; there's been a prevailing feeling of not quite knowing how to keep myself sane and focused amidst the uh, [points vaguely in the direction of Everything happening lately]. what got me this time particularly was a mix of burnout, an excess of pretty difficult news globally, and a lot of personal life stuff flaring up that i needed to tend to, and that led to me realizing that i kind of needed to take a step back and check in on myself.

this has led me to a...surprising turn. i don't actually feel Too bad about not much progress having been made on the next video, because in lieu of that, i've found myself reconnecting with a project that more or less has defined my trajectory these past few years; you could call it my personal dream project, my own "DELTARUNE", the thing that keeps me up at night just thinking about it, that all of this feels like it's building up to. i realized that in order to really feel confident about everything else going forward, i needed to actually get back to that project again and bring it up to speed with where i am now in my skills and experience. i've been wanting to really love what i am thinking about it again, and to actually believe in it. i know there's something good in there. so, this past month has consisted of A LOT of re-sorting and brainstorming about the finer details and figuring out how to bring it to a point i'm actually happy with.

of course, there's things i'm not gonna be able to fill the gaps on until i like...am actually making the thing. which, well- that won't be for a long while, still. the easy way to put it is: there's a bit of this project in everything i've been doing. and i do mean Everything. it's the roots of what i'm making, and i want to make sure those are maintained, or else everything else i do, in my eyes, may suffer for it.

make no mistake, **i am still going to make the next video.** i'm REALLY excited for what it's going to look like, and i want it to be not as long as a TDT3, but certainly beating its production quality. but in order to do that, i want to just finally get some of the personal shit out of my system first rather than follow a certain order of things to do; i've been keeping a lot of this in my head for so long that it's just grown nearly impossible to ignore it, and honestly? with everything happening recently that i'm seeing, it also feels too relevant to not at least try to use this project as an outlet. this year has been a huge reminder for me that there is no truly right time, there is no "someone else", and you never know how much time you have and how much you can fit in it: so the very least i can do to be kind to myself is to not ignore the deepest parts of me creatively that want to speak out a bit.

i've been very secretive about the non-youtube aspects of what i do since starting all this, and while i'm still gonna leave gaps about this work i'm doing (i STRONGLY do not want people to have certain false pretenses of what my work will look like), i think at least making people aware that it exists and that it's what i'm slowly gearing up towards is the best move. not in such a way that it abandons the youtube side (in fact, i think they go hand-in-hand in some regard), but enough that i make my intentions clear in the long-term. i love brainrotting about my interests, and i will continue to when there's something that feels worth doing a quirky little investigation on. but even more so, i have characters and stories and Feelings that i want people to know, and to cherish. i'm pretty sure i'm a storyteller above all else, and it'd be just rude to not show you what i've been sleepless about for the past several years, and will Continue to be for quite a while. it's all still kind of a haze. but i just want people to know it exists, if i have to start *somewhere.*

i wasn't sure at first if i would even gain an audience that likes me for me at all, but now that i have a sense that's what my audience is indeed here for, i don't know what the point in "hiding" it so much...is, anymore. at least, to the point of not even being aware that that's a part of what i do.

if this goes well...then hopefully, i can communicate that Efficiently in the next video alongside what people are expecting out of it. i'll be more offline while i'm essentially working from the inside out creatively to reinforce things, working my way back to focusing on youtube stuff. in fact, i already am feeling the motivation to pivot to some other stuff just because i already am feeling VERY good about what i have for this project of mine as of late. there's still work to do, but i get the feeling that once i'm past the initial bumps, it's just gonna come to me naturally.

just remember: nearly everything i make, or have made, is vent art.

thank you as always for taking the time to read this, and i'll be seeing y'all soon <3 take care of yourselves, especially now. when i have more to show, i want it to be Really worth it.

heyo! hope you're all doing well, as usual =v=

it has been about a month now since DELTARUNE chapters 3+4 released, and with that, i know you're all wondering quite a bit about how things on my end are going wrt a new video on it!

since a week or so ago, i've started actually pulling the pre-production stuff together for my next vid! it has been a very long and grueling process, however, as it mostly involved recording footage of both routes in the new chapters, tinkering a bit with my setup/equipment, and taking many, MANY notes along the way that, as of just yesterday, i finally finished taking and am about to start sorting through proper. as i said before, i'm taking my time with this next one because i want to be sure everything in it will hold up well going forward, and it's looking increasingly less like just a TDT-centric thing, and more like a general analysis of all the weird/secret shit in DELTARUNE overall, which is what i was expecting anyway!

that said, i am finally approaching the script-writing phase of the next video pretty rapidly, and video production will be coinciding with Other Things that i'll be bouncing between, as this month is also looking pretty packed, and i'm trying to not tunnel vision myself too hard into one thing solely. the next step is essentially to take all the notes i wrote down, and sort them into what will become the structure for this video's script; figuring out the flow essentially, of what topics i'll be addressing, and in what order. you don't need me to tell you that there is A LOT, and i don't even think the writing phase will be done within the week, frankly.

i'm still insisting on this not taking as long as part 3 did, and if anything has to be done for me to speed up the process of making it, i'll be sure to reach out if need be! but for the time being, i'm pretty comfortable at this pace, and if anything, i just hope to have more to actually *show* y'all aside from words alone. perhaps i'll get back into some streams occasionally so i'm still a bit present...? ...we'll see, as always!

that's abt all i have to say for this one! progress is going well, I Am Alive, i'm just taking a lot of time going into the early stages of making this next one. let's hope it's not...TOO much, though...

take care! and till then ^^

hello again, everyone! hope you’re all well.

i finally have returned from me being mostly offline to play the new DELTARUNE chapters. i’ve done normal and weird runs of both, and im only rlly missing aborted weird runs and possibly looking at default state files for any potential things that stay permanent between playthroughs. but…i can finally process how the new chapters make me actually feel.

it’s going to be a bit before i start really pulling everything together for a new video on it. i’d like to first focus on just enjoying the game casually, and i want to take a more open approach to discussing it, without thinking too hard about needing answers for every question that the new stuff has posed. i don’t even know where to begin, honestly. but, whatever the case, I’m sure that after a bit of time i’ll figure something out. I’ll be also needing to cross reference with other people anyway to see if there’s still anything i missed.

i can say at least, the next video 100% isn’t going to be a PART 4 or even as exclusively tied to TDT. i think there will still be a focus on secret stuff and compiling that info, but there’s at least a few other things that have had me Extremely intrigued. shit’s getting real. but im gonna give it more time to stew before i write anything.

i hope you all also had fun with the new chapters, and i’ll be hopefully giving more updates once production starts proper. it’ll be a bit, but, i want to be sure i get all the info and such as Thoroughly correct as possible. im very happy to now be on the other side of this with you all <3

till then!

heyo! a few things:
as always, thank you so much for the support on the new video <3 i was honestly not expecting it to do all that well, but it has done Basically just as well as part 3 did in its first 24 hours (although part 3 still did better because Obviously). it's insane seeing my reach Expand with each and every proper vid i make ... my power grows once more. :active:

BUT, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY:

SURPRISE STREAM ANNOUNCEMENT! I'M DOING IT AFTER ALL!!!!!!

JOIN ME TOMORROW, JUNE 2ND, AND THE DAY AFTER, JUNE 3RD, as i do a fresh replay of All of the first few chapters of DELTARUNE and Discuss the new teasers/new video with you all! if you were there for the first RIBBIT stream btw, i might be whipping out a similar setup to the one i did there! as for specific time...WHENEVER I AM AWAKE AND READY. i know this will be a pretty hefty replay, so i'm not setting any specific starting time, all i care about is just getting through these chapters before the game is out.

in lieu of me being firm on not wanting to be online/to stream the new chapters, i figured a good thing to do instead would be a very low pressure playthrough of the first few chapters right before it releases! emphasis by the way, on low pressure. i won't be focusing on the game itself *too* too much, i just wanna have a nice hangout with yall while i go through the game once more to fully immerse myself, and to do all of the...PREPARATIONS, needed, for the new chapters!

in specific, i will be doing a single playthrough of Chapter 1 with the secret boss and egg + some other small stuff found, and then getting Normal, Weird, and Aborted Weird save files for Chapter 2 complete!
i hope to see quite a few of you there, and i'm very excited to give this a try on stream =v=

see you soon!
