Special Thank You
Added 2023-07-19 13:16:02 +0000 UTCHey Patreon Beans,
With August approaching means my next surgery for my cancer treatment is too. Fingers crossed we get good news! A few things I wanted to address because I know there are a lot of new people to my community and a lot of changes :3 so here we go!
1) I’m a cancer patient who sleeps for WAAAAAY too many hours a day. It’s hard for me to stay awake so usually I have a small 3-4 hour window after waking up where I get to function before I get exhausted again. So I spend the whole time recording.
2) It’s actually what inspired me to start streaming on twitch. I was feeling insanely lonely and getting more depressed about my health and life. I started getting so tired I was reading comments less and it made me feel even more alone. Until I thought about recording live and honestly I’ve just been happier these past 4 days.
2.5) MAIN THING TO ADDRESS: as Patreon members you get early access to all my series! Streaming my reactions on Twitch means people can tune in as it’s happening or miss it completely. Reason being is I don’t keep the vods up. The only way to see the vods and get early access is by being one of you a Patreon homie! Your special privileges are still here!!
3) My health sucks. As we read before but since I’m so happy and a vtuber it’s really hard to understand the severity of what I’m going through. I’m someone who can’t walk unassisted and can’t even go up the stairs alone to fill up my water bottle which is why my mom is always helping me. I can’t even shower by myself. I really need you to understand that I am always and will always try my absolute best for you all. If my best isn’t good enough I’m sorry for that because it is your money you’re spending. Just know I’m trying to be happy and myself while going through something and that I care about giving you guys content.
Thank you for supporting me but also thank you for making battling cancer less lonely. I hope you feel happiness towards me going on twitch as well realizing that I’ve gotten more content out than usual and I’m happier too.

2023-07-19 23:35:03 +0000 UTCIf you miss the twitch, you can ONLY get to see the full reaction on patreon, uncut, unchanged, unfiltered. That's worth it, imo. Also, we and her discord are the only places she alerts of going live so it's really just another patreon bonus, since she doesn't have a set schedule for streaming. You'd have to either check here or her discord to even know when she streams.

2023-07-19 17:05:42 +0000 UTCI dont mind the Twitch stuff. I watch the vods after i wake up and eat breakfast. I couldn't catch the streams anyway ( timezones). Get some sleep and good luck on your procedure.

2023-07-19 16:37:38 +0000 UTCMy mom is recovering from her Stage 4 lung cancer at the moment and it was super rough for her. Take care of yourself however you need to. Shit's rough enough without trying to do anything on top of it. While my job keeps me from catching most twitch stuff, I'll be here and on YT catching the VoDs. Good luck on your surgery!
Jeff
2023-07-19 16:32:13 +0000 UTCYou're an absolute legend in my eyes. Your personality is so kick ass and you sound so lively in your reactions, I don't think I ever would have guessed that you were sick. I've known for a while because you've mentioned it of course but what I'm trying to say is you fucking got this 💪 Your energy is too strong. You will overcome 💪💪💪 I'll be sending energy your way DBZ style anyway 🙌
SomeoneElse
2023-07-19 16:28:54 +0000 UTCFor what it matters, other content creators do the same, plus if you are not a Patreon, you don't get to see the reactions in order since the YouTube videos might very well not be caught up. I don't think it's likely that you can catch every single twitch stream exactly when it will happen without missing any.
leviathan_13
2023-07-19 15:44:25 +0000 UTCBest of luck with the next surgery! couldn't imagine going through what you are going through and still finding energy to record these super fun reactions, we appreciate it to say the least
cyberspacecat
2023-07-19 15:22:16 +0000 UTCDepending on your timezone, you don't get to catch it live, so the patreon thing is still the best way to catch it early. You also get to rewatch the episodes you like the most uncensored, while youtube has to go for the censored version,a nd later than us. Btw, this comment screams of "I didn't read the post" energy.
Kaz
2023-07-19 15:10:24 +0000 UTCHonestly I have so much respect for you. Going through all that and working on the side as hard as you do. Cancer must be shitting its pants. 😂 I'm sure the surgeries and the treatment will go well. Regarding Twitch, that's for sure the right way to do. You also don't have to do it alone then with a live audience in that sense. Personally speaking I don't mind that the Vods are then here on Patreon. With the time difference I could hardly catch a stream either way 😅
Tokken Release
2023-07-19 15:05:50 +0000 UTCI see it more as someone who catches a TV show as it airs for those on twitch, while the patreon members are those who own the box set with all the bonus little features. We get commentary and a more personal experience at our discretion. While twitch will have to sit and wait until the next "episode" is on Tv again.
Tyler Denny
2023-07-19 14:54:35 +0000 UTCdon't you feel it's unfair that we pay 5+ dollars a month to get the early uncensored content yet Twitch viewers get that for free and earlier then we do?

Blackhook
2023-07-19 14:33:22 +0000 UTCI'm here because you're fun, funny and just great at entertaining. I'll admit, I don't usually watch the lead-ins and chat-only sections of reaction vids and streams, but I find yours engaging enough that I watch all the way through. Just keep being the awesome person you are and take what time you need if you're feeling sick or tired or whatever. I, for one, am happy to wait and I'm enjoying all the content you put out (even if I'm currently only watching a few of your series reactions, I figure I'll get around to the others I'm less interested in eventually. Just.... not that much time in the day to watch EVERYTHING, ya know?)
Liberty
2023-07-19 14:28:19 +0000 UTCI am not what to say reading about your health be kinda sad and I suck and words, but i will say that I hope you can keep smiling a true happy smile, and so I will keep praying and hoping for you well being, cause your awesome

I found you a few days ago and you're amazing, love your personality and seriously could not have guessed you were going through such a hard time until I heard you mention it in a video. I hope the surgery goes well! Until then please don't overwork yourself and do things you enjoy <3

2023-07-19 13:57:35 +0000 UTCAlways do what is best for you, I and probably a lot of us made the decision to support you on patreon because i thought it was worth it and it has been and it will be even if you take more breaks. You don't need to feel bad for making less content. Stay strong alicia <3

Slurp
2023-07-19 13:47:12 +0000 UTCI think I'll answer here to your reply on my other comment since it seems more appropriate: I'm not sure if we are understanding each other, because you said in the other comment that you will try to do MORE work when you will be healthier, while I'm suggesting you to do effectively LESS work. Maybe I did not explain myself correctly, but you wouldn't do any more reactions than you are already doing. Just by splitting the One Piece double reactions into single reactions for YouTube, you are effectively doubling the number of videos you can post with the same amount of effort. Let me make a practical example: let's say that you do a reaction for One Piece 66 + 67 and post them on Patreon. Normally you would then post the same reaction on YouTube a few days later, but that way you just have the same video on both platforms with just a short delay. Instead, if you split the video in two, you would still post ep. 66 + 67 on Patreon, but only post ep. 66 on YouTube. WHENEVER you will be able to do the reaction for ep. 68 + 69, you will then post them both on Patreon but post ep. 67 on YouTube. Now Patreon is at ep. 69 while YouTube is at 67. See? You did the same amount of reactions, and posted two videos on both platforms, but with just two uploads you have now have also two more videos in store for One Piece ready for YT. So if during a week you don't feel well and don't do any reaction for Patreon, you still would have a video for ep. 68 and one for 69 to post for YouTube. If you do that just for a month, you can easily build a large gap between Patreon and YouTube that you can promote to incite people to join and also have many videos in storage ready for YouTube even if you feel unwell and can't do new reactions. Once you are comfortable with the gap you have created, you return to post double reactions on both platforms, which at that point will simply be de-synced by the gap you have created. If you feel bad for YouTube you can also mix and post single, single, double, for example. For other series, your best bet is to just build a lead when you start a NEW series. E.g., let's say that you start Full Metal Alchemist and do single episode reactions instead, you can just post the first 10 episodes on Patreon and only then start releasing the videos on YouTube at the same rate you post new episodes on Patreon. Or alternatively is changing the rate at which you move videos from Patreon to YouTube, e.g. for every 3 episodes you manage to make for Patreon, you post two on YouTube. I'm not sure if that would work, but the point is to tweak in the RELATIVE flow of content between the two platforms. This is irrelevant to how many videos you can make, that will always depend on how you feel and you should not force yourself to do more. I hope I made myself clearer... I'm suggesting this to make you do LESS work but in turn, making it more effective and worthwhile. All of this because it seems to me that you tend to try to "binge" things when you feel well to catch up only for all that work to go to waste when you can't make new content. I just wish you good. P.S.: I don't see any issue with the Twitch streams. Other content creators do the same too.

Liesmith
2023-07-19 13:40:59 +0000 UTC:D thank you! Yeah I took a lot of time to make sure I could still keep the best experience as I could for Patreon beans by not having vods for twitch and having emotes only on while the show is going on.

2023-07-19 13:32:07 +0000 UTCI press my thumps that the surgery is going well. I think the Twitch streaming is a good Idea. No Vods is a good Idea. To just allow emote while watching is also a great Idea. No Spoilers and other stuff that can happen. Stay strong. Do your things as you like. No pressure. I will look forward to your reactions anyway. You do not have to do Content every day. Greetings
