Book update! 50k is apparently inevitable now 😂 I thought I was done at 30k and just had some cleaning and editing to do (self-publishing, so I gotta do it all), get my unpublished stuff from 20 years ago tidied up , but nope! The Same brain goblins that brought you the universe on my channel are at it once again. This thing is just … I wish I could share, it’s so weird keeping this under wraps when I’m used to posting stuff all the time. Hopefully by Spring, if not before, as long as I can get the goblins to stop at some point. 😂 (Maybe sic Iggy on them) Absolutely loving it though! Once done and out the real universe book will be next I swear!!! Be patient!! 🙏 oh right I don’t pray uhhh … 🙌 there I guess

I'm ending the Megadeth vs Metallica debate right here:

1. Metallica went commercial/radio friendly/chased trends (Load/grunge era).
2. Megadeth/Mustaine remained the truer artists/punk.
3. It doesn't matter because King Diamond is better than both and remained true north as an artist!

The "Arkham Sanitarium" or "Thalmultaria" book is going to happen. Maybe that should/will be my next book. All I can say/ask is be... "patient" ;)
(gotta get the one I'm working on done and out first!)

Until then, enjoy this casual lore drop, especially if you're new here!

Full text: "So in THIS particular timeline, Margaret liked the Professor when they were dating at Miskatonic University. But then they went on that fateful expedition to the Himalayan mountains, she got killed, somehow (she was pregnant too, Prof didn't think the baby was his), he brings her back home, reanimates her (the Margaret you see in the videos) and their relationship just hasn't been the same ever since. Not to mention everyone's tired of the Professor's shenanigans, always summoning eldritch abominations and what not. But like I said, this is just ONE timeline out of infinite timelines, infinite universes, and (infinite) omniverses. So in others it's the Professor who gets killed, in another no one gets killed, another they don't ever date, another the Professor ends up being never being a professor, etc., etc., ad-infinitum."

For those curious about what my first book will be about without any spoilers, I asked AI to come up with a short blurb of my 2 months' worth of progress thus far (see image, and it's not my fictional universe stuff, that'll be a future book).

And the funny thing is, I never read *any* Pratchett, LOL (no offense to the author, of course). I only *vaguely* know about the flat earth on a turtle's back, which is the premise of Discworld I think... and "Adams" is Douglas Adams.

You can read a little more on my website f you want (no spoilers there either): ephemeralrift.com/what-ai-thinks-of-my-manuscript-…

It's taking longer than I expected, as I'm learning as I go and then revising what I've already written based on the new knowledge I've acquired. I'm pretty much done "writing" for the most part, but there's a lot to work on since I've learned a lot in the last 2 months.

Hopefully it'll be out early 2026, like between January and March.

Website link to the 5 hour long ChatGPT session I had on December 4th from 9AM-2PM to create the "AI Does My Recap" video about how I was "too busy" to do the recap myself, is now available for your enjoyment: ephemeralrift.com/a-recap-of-the-5-hour-chatgpt-se…

While my prompts to ChatGPT are intact, ChatGPT's responses have been summarized as to remove/redact any spoilers, not to mention it's responses are quite lengthy.

YES!!!!!! Thank you, my AI overlord. I went into a little more about this on my website: ephemeralrift.com/eureka-i-think-i-fell-into-an-or…

I'm glad what I've added to my manuscript is a brand new take on an existing trope (which was never what I was trying to do, it just ended up that way by accident), and more importantly: may never have been done before!

I can't wait for ya'll to read this when it eventually comes out, hopefully early 2026, as long as I stop adding and revising, LOL!

Here's that website I mentioned in my video below: www.bishop-accountability.org/

It's considered a trustworthy and invaluable resource by journalists, legal professionals, and scholars for information regarding the Catholic clergy abuse crisis (per Google AI, and yes you read that correctly: abuse crisis. Need we say more?)

This way, the next time you see someone (anywhere) spout some biased, uninformed (unless it's intentional deception & propaganda) nonsense about how their (or any religion) is some kind of perfect bastion of virtue and excellence, you can show them that website to shut them up (in addition to all the horrible things religions have done throughout human history, which always seem to be conveniently left out).

New channel art! Whoop whoop! I was going to say "in the world" or "in the universe", but not only does that go without saying, but this channel encompasses the entirety of existence, kind of like Iggy's sexuality! I'm probably pissing off every other thalmultarian in the process, but I do aim to please (again, like Iggy)!
