Hey guys quick life update! finally got our house back and have moved back in! I know My upload schedule has slowed down considerably over the last year but that should be turning around now. Grim dark mysteries Volume 9, another grimdark story hour, and a dedicated video on Warhammer horrors greatest unsolved mystery, Valgaast, (a word/name that shows up in every single one of the horror stories and nobody knows what it means), should be out soon.
Okay so that's the YouTube update out of the way. Now for the life update where I'm going to get a little bit vulnerable.
As many of you know me and my wife lost both our home and our studio which is a separate building to the hurricanes in Florida last year. Not having a place to live permanently, cycling between friends houses, hotels and couch surfing while also Trying to deal with insurance, contractors, rebuilding the studio ourselves (it wasn't insured) while also trying to dedicate my usual 50-70 hours a week to making videos was More than I could handle and it left me and my wife overwhelmed and exhausted pretty much every day.
I'm really thankful to all of the wonderful people who helped out during this time. Like my amazing editors who put up with my insane schedule and gave up their time and energy to lessen the burden on me. I also want to thank all of our friends and family who were there for me and my wife. whether that was to put sledgehammers through drywall during the original demo, or to just be a shoulder to lean on when things got hard. Also a big thank you to All of you who offered kind words of support in the comments, you truly have no idea how much that meant to me, especially on the really dark days.
Me and my wife's mental health is also in a much better place finally being back in our home and being able to put this terrible chapter behind us. I'm not going to lie things got really bad behind the scenes and the two of us went from being closer than any two people could possibly be...to at each other's throats on the edge of divorce. With how much we were dealing with and how overwhelmed we both were, we completely lost the ability to communicate and pretty much everything the other person said was interpreted as an attack. We knew we both loved each other and took our vows to one another seriously, so we ended up going to marriage counseling once a week for 12 months. It was a long hard road that required a lot of healing but I can say happily and humbly that it saved our marriage. We're closer and stronger together than we've ever been.
There's still A lot that needs done. There are still boxes stacked to the ceiling and we're still out $250,000. Insurance is supposed to reimburse us 100k of that But I'm anticipating we're going to have to fight tooth and nail for it.
So again thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for your support. I'm so excited to have a bit of normalcy back in my life and to get back to making videos without having to also balance a million other things haha. You guys rock!
