PINNED POST // resource overview (Patreon)

Hey patrons! I’ve been posting content on here for almost a year now, and as a result it’s getting harder to navigate through all of the posts. To make it easier, here’s a pinned post to help you find the most important content - both for new patrons and also those of you who have been around for a while and want to revisit some of the older resources!

// SUBTITLED VIDEOS //

Unfortunately, Patreon’s video tool does not support subtitles at the moment. New videos are posted with the subtitles baked in to the video file. To view older videos with subtitles, check out these posts:
