April Update *UPDATED 4/26* (Patreon)

***updates to the 5/11 video and 3ER timing below***

So April is effectively over in regards to new content from me. The 3 Episode Ruling Podcast is getting recorded and posted on Saturday but after that >>> https://youtu.be/PfeccUkZZYc?si=ytikz2tgy3UHwlGe

May Video Schedule:

So far two videos are (for the most part) locked in for May and theyre both the sponsored ones Ive mentioned in a previous update.

May 11 - The Perfect Prince (Sponsor: Coolmic): they want me to promote the latest animefesta anime available on their service SO OF COURSE I AGREEEED. The video will start with a brief review before i pivot into existential crisis mode (BL's version) and briefly discuss the cancellation of Ice Adolescence along with various perceptions i have of current events related to BL anime including one upcoming announcement i have a lot of (yelling) opinions about LMAO. (Please nobody come for me about whether Yuri on Ice is BL or not in the comments, i know it isnt but it has overlap with BL fans and misinformed michaels love to debate that whenever its brought up like its killing fuckin stalking so its tangentially related - otherwise ill be discussing other BL and rainbro anime in general).

^^^THIS HAS CHANGED: coolmic just got back to me and would like to post it June 1st instead. I will be coming up with a replacement video in the coming days but i will not update this note ill just drop the video, likely will be the yaoi-danmei iceberg

May 22 - Blood Domination (Sponsor: Abracadabra Inc): ANUTHA PLAYFRU. Abracadabra (no brown eyed girls - shoutout the B. Ames Remix WHICH APPARENTLY IS GONE FROM THE INTERNET?!) is the parent company that made and distributes BD so i will be playing the game up until i believe the first sex scene. Depending on feedback i might add it as a patreon/chanmem playthru to alternate weeks with Slow Damage - TBD.

(Speaking of Slow Damage, the playthru continues biweekly (every other week not twice a week) forever, its real fuckin lawng).

Might squeeze in a third video but highly unlikely since these two may take some time to put together and Id rather use the rest of my time in may to properly brainstorm my videos for Pride. Speaking of Pride ive decided against doing daily vlogs LMAO. I was actually planning on cutting it down to do every other day but with how long its been taking me to do videos (and how much time each day ive been spending doing those videos) Ive opted out for Pride - Vlogmas is however still on the table but whether itll be BL, Geicomi or both is tbd. Also i figured since im hoping to take most of July off to work on a big project for August i figured id fuckin die if i did back to back busy months so Im gunna take it easy for pride but still aim for 3 videos (therell be at least 2).

The Natz Cast for May for OTR w/Gene Patrons will be of the (somehow) acclaimed Makoto Shinkai film Suzume. Prepare for (apparently) contrary opinions to general consensus cause i did not enjoy it anywhere as much as any of his other works ive seen, but more on that in the podcast when it drops.

Other than thattttt may is gunna may, having two sponsored videos kinda cuts into my creative proceedings a bit but im getting paid so i cant complain - but i WILL make that Yaoi-Danmei video at some point i SWEAR IT. Pride im hoping to build more momentum and make some well thought out videos but on what topics im not completely sure at this point. Might just drop the yaoi-danmei video there, might use my "shonen jump hates gay people" video concept - might use my "mappa hates gay people" video concept - might stare a whole "x hates gay people" series cause people cling to negativity more than positivity when it comes to queer identity so i might use the opportunity to pander to the idea while secretly shading the people clamoring for negativity who have no self awareness TBD LMAO. Also might take the time to finally fuckin rant about how nobody knows what a fuckin twink is anymore but like ive said 20 times in this update - TBD.
