TWO WEEKS Remain To Order Your Alphonse Plushie + We Want Your Ideas!
Added 2024-10-11 19:01:14 +0000 UTCHappy Friday everyone! I wanted to update you on the progress of the Alphonse plushie campaign, and get some feedback from you in regards to some fun ways to promote the plushie over the next two weeks!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has ordered their plushie so far! We're now at 250+ plushies sold, hitting the initial number needed to go into production, but that's not where our goals end! First up, we want to hit the 400 sold mark, but a small pink Alphonse shaped little birdie told me he'd really like to crush the 508 Charlie plushies from that campaign. It's going to be a steep climb if we have any shot at hitting it, but with your help we can absolutely give Alphonse a fighting chance at protecting his ego.
This also means I've got to turn the heat up with a variety of Alphonse goodies to help raise awareness and interest in the plushie, and I wanted to ask you all for feedback on some of what I'm cooking up, and fresh ideas of your own!
For this 2 week stretch I'm looking to do...
A Fall Flavored Alphonse & Boo Audio, possibly visiting a pumpkin patch where for some magical reason boys tend to get pegged?
Boy Toy Alphonse + Cryptid Hunter Seth Halloween Party, topping the listener.
A variety of shorts + Tiktok videos, like we've been rolling out already.
Alphonse 24/7 Marathon Stream On YouTube
Alphonse Gives Advice Live Stream (Viewer Submitted Prompts, Humorously Answered)
And.......????? More Ideas To Come!
We've got the meme competition currently running, and up on the 20th is the YuuriVersary stream celebrating 8 years of me being an internet lad! So there are still lots of opportunities to reach our goals, but I ain't gonna lie.......I'm pretty nervous!
We got off to a hot start but things have simmered down, and being as critical as I am of myself, I feel like my poor planning is responsible. That's why I'm going to work hard to keep things rolling on top of the other big thing going on this month, spooky season audios! It has been a lot of work, but I've enjoyed it and feel good about where we're at, but I've got to kick it up a few additional notches.
We're facing the unfortunate circumstance that in the Big Picture (TM) this launch was supposed to happen in conjunction with the Director's Cut of BitterSweet. That was a plan that took shape much later than it needed to, and we've sorta been fighting against the clock. Again, my fault for poor foresight and timing. I'm trying to get better at that.
So I'd love to open the floor for suggestions, ideas, etc.! Hit me with whatever you can cook up and I'll try to take it into consideration as I hammer away at things here on my end!
Thank you all again, for your kindness, patience, and support. I'm going to do my absolute best to make the end of this year really count, and I hope that when it all comes together, you'll love how everything turns out! <3
Edit: Oh man, it would probably help if I said you can go order the plushie here!

2024-10-14 05:36:28 +0000 UTCI think it would be funny for Alphonse to read thirsty comments about him xD

2024-10-13 21:39:23 +0000 UTCPEGG HIM! 👹 Nah fr, I think the pumpkin patch would be cute

2024-10-13 13:20:57 +0000 UTCSo I did have an idea but not sure about the logistics! I was thinking maybe do a parody of a TV series or something where you could use quite a few of the YV boys to substitute established characters like The Munsters/Addams Family/Scooby Doo even! Alphonse would definitely be Daphne. Just saying.

2024-10-13 09:30:50 +0000 UTCI feel like another Alphonse, Seth, and listener would be amazing 😖

2024-10-13 00:11:17 +0000 UTCI'd love maybe an office Halloween party with Auron dressed up as a vampire and Rook gets to tease the hell out of him for it- Whether it leads to some ✨spoicy✨ roleplay between the two is up to you! But then again I just love Auron so I might be biased. Maybe if you do cryptid hunter Seth you could incorporate some spooky folklore ghosts lol you're a Texan, too. We've got no shortage to go by.

2024-10-12 21:08:11 +0000 UTCSkip to the ✨️ for ideas. I limited myself to five, which is still a lot 😅 If I could offer you a cup of my favorite de-stressing tea, I would. You've been delivering so much and you've been cooking like crazy! We're happy to receive your performance at a pace that is healthy for all parties involved 🥰 ✨️Plushie!Alphonse skittering around the bar after closing time. Scares the 💩 out of Seth, who maybe cries a little bit. An awkward "there there" head pat from Plushie!Alphonse, that Seth not so politely says it's not helping ✨️ Lucien and Angel essentially playing hide-and-seek in a corn maze; Lucien's molten bits give him away and he pouts about it ✨️ Pull-up contest between Seth and Alphonse. Laughs at first, then Al awkwardly points out Seth doesn't talk about being locked up much (prison workouts are brought up). Seth acknowledges it but makes it known he's focused on moving forward. Awkwardness dispelled by Alphonse asking for pointers on getting better at pull-ups ✨️ Rook compliments Auron on his "cute pawprint tie." It's literally just Deep Dish's pawprints on a normal tie (Probably best as a short) ✨️ Rook finds pumpkin spice creamer at the office; attempts to tease Auron. Auron deadpans that yeah, once a year he indulges in it. And? (Probably best as a Short)

2024-10-11 20:49:36 +0000 UTCSo excited for all the future works! Personally I can never get enough yandere/dark romance scenarios. The really silly one-shots (like the charlie vs hippo audio and the Alphonse animal crossing audio) are also super fun too and just make me all giddy. Looking forward to whatever comes!

2024-10-11 19:37:40 +0000 UTCThis all sounds super exciting! I'm going to give it some serious thought. Perhaps with it being Halloween season you could do something wicked with Finn's witchy vibes and not just because I fucking love him! Maybe a cryptid crossover with Al and Seth if you want a shout out for the plushie. I think you've done amazingly well with that already tbh but our most vocal critic is always our own self. Everything you do is always with your audience in mind and you strive to make everyone happy despite us all liking different boys. Don't sell yourself short - we all love and admire you for your creativity and the brass balls to produce some of the brilliant NSFW audios which have saved me from a true shitstorm of a year. You rock, Yuuri. Keep on keeping on 💗
