That's adorable! The curtsey at the end is the cherry on the cuteness cake

That was adorable indeed. :}

I am glad y'all liked it! :D

I'm working on episode 2... and hope I can get ahead of the ball and get the buffer I hoped to have.

The difficulty level of things actually hit us again a few months ahead of the planned early November debut, but that time instead of moving it yet again I buckled down and stuck to the plan hehe :D

Felt good to push through, but, I sacrificed the buffer I wanted at launch, but becuase of how I have things formatted, I should be able to work smart and get at least a few episodes ahead in a few weeks.

That's the plan anyway, wish me luck!

If y'all want to check out the content I would love to know what you think about it :D

Trying to push the levels of cute ho ho ho I am a rebel like that haha

Good luck. Being a content creator of any kind is always more work than most people want to believe. :}

That is a very true statement Dream-Baby!

I think that is why I went back and forth on it for over a decade.

I did a dabble into streaming while Mixer was still around to make sure I liked that. I also experimented with building a micro-influencer page on Instagram as well around that time as small tests to ensure it was something I would like to do or had a knack for.

Then, I waited until I had gotten to a healthier and more stable spot in life and was super clear on what I wanted to do. Then I worked on the plan and associated materials for 3 years before posting things seriously.

I may be taking it more seriously than a lot of folks do, there are some benefits to just doing a thing, but with my health having always been a mess and super limited energy I wanted to be very careful what I got myself into.

The VTuber technology took care of the personal safety/autonomy hangup, and I am thankfully also in a spot where my husband and I figured out how to lower our overall costs so we are comfortable now on just his guaranteed income.

We also own all critical things (car, housing, etc.) outright to ensure our stability after years of issues after the hurricane destabilized us.

Since I can't help contribute with a regular job without messing up my health and making a bigger issue, he encourages me to work on a creative project as well as building up a clientele for the B2B stuff I am good at, so I can grow those over time while working on also improving my health. This should let us work towards a better quality of life and make sure that I can be healthier and have a longer life than continuing on a path that is taking longer to recover each time things inevitably go sideways from me getting overworked by a boss.

I am glad he is taking working with me on these things seriously.
And since I already have a few regular clients for the B2B stuff I at last am contributing enough to help cover a few bills too. I don't expect the content creation stuff to yield anything substantial for a while. That generally takes time and luck to grow to that point.

Same for me.
Worked on many things in the past. But my health leaves me with less time than is needed for it to work as I wanted. :}

I am both glad and sad you get it *hugs*

:)

Sometimes we all have different physical capacities, but it doesn't mean we don't have our own gifts and skills. Just have to figure out how to still contribute without grinding ourselves to dust in the process hehe

Exactly.
It just took me some time (years) to accept my physical limitations are what they are. :}

I guess I can comply. c:

ooO!! hi Outline!

What kind of crumpet would you be if you joined our merry band? :D

@Dream-Baby: Same tbh... it was tough because I didn't get an official diagnosis my parents understood or accepted ever. It shouldn't have taken getting covid to figure out what the baseline issue was... but by then relationships and what not were worn thin and I was sick of the horrible cycle I had been thrust in by my parents trying to force a 'normal' existence and output from me.

thank goodness my husband is supportive and happy to work with me to let me be in a spot I can be productive, but not in a constant turn and burn cycle! It was so unproductive... and sadly avoidable what happened to me. Probably part of season 2 I will make an episode about medical gaslighting and whatnot.. it's a heavier topic, and I feel needs more prep and research. I also feel like I need a more complete 'what happened next'. but this year was stupid tough and we've just not gotten into the right specialists yet though we got the clues in place... finally.
