Please Don't Pledge To Me
A reminder that this Patreon is technically closed! Closing it properly would make all Posts unavailable though and I don't want the essays to be lost, but I am not posting anything new! I just saw someone become a Patron, so let me make it clear: Please, I am keeping this Patreon open as an Archive. I may do stuff with it in the future, but not any time soon. Sorry!
Pssst
I unlaunched the page briefly because I don't plan to reopen the Patreon any time soon, but that just made all the Essays unavailable. So instead I've changed the payment to "Per Creation" rather than "Per Month", so that it won't charge anything to anyone that is still a Patron. If there's any issues, please inform me.
The Future of This Patreon
Hiiii! So.... Yeah okay we need to talk about a few things!Last month was honestly quite crazy- Starting with the editing of my Hiveswap Streams, a lot of Personal Stuff happening, and the sudden, totally out of left field VTubing Stuff that you all encouraged me and helped me achieve? Yeah. Yeah it was a wild month.And when the Month was over, there were a lot of things that simply needed a change.I made this Patreon with the intent of, supporting myself, having an excuse to keep doing HSE on T...
Self-Indulgent 2021
Hi! So! New Years huh? 2020 was a god damn mess and let's hope we can make 2021 a better year.I thought I'd kick the year off with something extremely self-indulgent though! Just some of my Headcanon Jade, some JadeRoseMary, some buff, and a holiday greetings to all of you who've been supporting me thus far!... Speeeeaking of. Uh. There's some Patreon Stuff I'll be doing this month, but that's for another post. News to come soon.
Apologetic Chibi
So uh. Patreon Art! ... Yeah about that.This week has been kind of devastatingly shitty. My grandpa died, and we had his funeral. My grandma has Covid, and we were exposed to her during the funeral. She's also not been doing okay, mentally, since the funeral, and mom wanted to bring her home for a while, which made me have a panic attack because I am absolutely terrified of this virus and-*Deep Breaths*Huff. Yeah. Merry Christmas, huh? I wanted to draw something to celebrate New Years, so th...
Worldbuilding & Hyperflexible Mythology
Hello there everyone! Happy Holidays and New Year! Not quite yet but, hey, I'll probably post next Essay in the middle of January, and it'd be a bit late by then. We're almost past 2020, and we've made it this far! A cheers, let's strive so that next year things will be better, and keep our hopes and good spirits up!But with the Holiday Cheer off the way, let us talk about Hyperflexible Mythology. I know that sounds like some weird and complicated bullshit, but I can assure y...
More VTuber Asset Work
Like with last week, I used this week's Patreon Art to get some assets done for the whole Major Project VTuber thing! Here's a preview of the way the 'basic chat background' and the 'debut stream background' would look! There's 3 more pages for the Debut, but I'm saving those for the ACTUAL Debut. ;3 There's also a Thumbnail, and as I spoil in it, I'm going to be streaming Hades! Speaking of which, here's the Zagreus Chibi I used for the card.That asid...
Hiveswap Act 2
So. Hey there! Hiveswap Act 2 actually came out! Who would've thunk, huh? I'll refrain on doing any jokes about the delay, because honestly they never were really funny to begin with, and became even less funny when people started using them to harass the WP Team on Twitter. Hoo boy I just can't go on a single Essay without bringing discourse in can I? Sorry about that.But yes! Hiveswap Act 2 is out, and you know what? It was... Really good! There were some issues here and there, peo...
Stream Cards
Today's Patreon Art! I decided, since I'm doing the whole VTuber thing this month, I could at least make the Stream look fancy and stuff! Next week I want to work on a general-purpose background for chat/overlay purposes? We'll see.
Discord Emojis - Part 1
So for this week's Patreon Art I decided to make a bunch of emojis! These are all available on the Discord, and you can download the full, transparent versions below, so you can use them on your own servers as well! :p I plan on doing more unique emojis like these for the Trolls, and a few others, so stay tuned I guess?
Major Project Poll
So! Earlier I posted the Alpha of GlitchSim! And I want to continue doing stuff and finish at least the First Route of it. However as I mentioned, this month I may be a bit busy with some family stuff. So I was wondering whether to just suck it up and do as much Glitchsim as I can when I can, oooooor, keep it off for January and work on a different Major Project this next month? In particular, after the Hiveswap Livestreams, and due to some friends in my life right now, I may actually be able to...
Essay Slots#19 (December 2020)
What a wild year it's been, huh? It's uh. It's finally ending! God, let's hope 2021 is better in many, many regards.Either way... December is a busy month. Christmas, New Years, Family is bound to want to hang out, sooooo, let's get this poll early so that I may also maybe get the Essays out early!
Glitchsim: Alpha 0.0.5
Hey! So. I haven't been able to work much this month on the Glitchsim, but I decided, why not release the basic Alpha I have so far for Patrons, just to give y'all a glimpse to what I got? Dialog may be subject to change, and all art is Placeholders, but there's one Bad End so far at least!
Hiveswap Act 2 - Thumbnail
Did y'all know I livestreamed the entirety of Act 2? It was SUPER fun! I am going to definitely be uploading them to YT, so I decided to do a Thumbnail as my Weekly Patreon Art! :3c
Worldbuilding & Lore: When Is It Too Much?
Creativity, making things... For those that like thinking and developing ideas, be it through art, writing or otherwise, things don't tend to come out of nowhere, materializing from the ether. Sometimes, these ideas are fleeting- Little tid-bits that hold our interest for a little bit, cool thoughts, but nothing we seriously want to develop and expand upon, perhaps a side-story within another frame at most. Other times, they stick with us, becoming a recurring theme among our works, or furth...
Thanksyiffings
Haha... What if they were a happy family spending Thanksgivings together, hmm? Vrissy is out of frame, but don't worry, she IS there.A bit early, but, happy Thanksgivings everyone! Stay safe.
Fate Series - Classpecting (Part 1)
Fate! You may have heard it at some point, if not because of the widespread popularity of its characters, at the very least for its massively successful mobile game, Grand Order. Which, sure, is a Waifu Gacha Game, but actually surprisingly good, story-wise, and compelling enough to keep me hooked for well over a year at this point (Without having had to spend a dime, I may add-)So yes, you could say it's been a bit of a fixation of mine lately! And it got the most votes on the poll so it me...
FGO - Classpects
And more Patreon Art! Since the Patreon Channels are quite silent (Y'all should drop by some time), I went with an illustration for the upcoming Fate Classpect Essay I'll be putting up later this month!Mash is a Knight of Mind, Fou is a Muse of Doom, and of course, Gudako, is a Bard of Hope.
Hiveswap: Act 2
Heya! First Patreon pic and I decided to draw some Hiveswap in honor of Act 2 releasing later this month! :D Nothing to see here, just an absurdly shady Ringmaster who may or may not actually turn out to be helpful in the story, regardless of how horrible of an idea it may seem to follow him.Yeah, there is no way Marvus isn't going to be at LEAST a bit of a shady weirdo in Act 2.
Essay Slots#18 (November 2020)
Gasp, what's this? A Poll? Yeah yeah I know, I skipped October's! With the Patreon Renovations and the Discord Server changes, I hope you all enjoy me being back in the saddle of essays and art! I want to keep a schedule of doing art every Friday for the Patreon, but we'll see if I am capable of keeping that up...That said, here go the Essay options this month!
Celebration of Identity: Be Yourself
Hoo boy, the world truly is trying to conspire against me with this essay, Karma doesn't want me to publish it. If you're unaware of what I've talked about on my blog, hi! As of me writing this, I have been at my sister's place because she had surgery, and it just coincided with some sort of truck tearing riiiiight through the Internet cable lines and leaving us stuck on mobile Internet. So, my apologies if I'm more scattered than usual.But you know, that's fine. Not ever...
Queer Discourse: Canon Rep - Fandom Reaction
Aw shit. Here we go again.You'd think after commenting on Discourse, Fandom Reactionary stuff, and the like a few months in a row, that I would eventually run out of things to tackle, that I would move on to greener, more positive pastures! Welp, seems like all of you want me to keep hammering on the Discourse, according to the polls, soooo, you know how the deal goes at this point.Fandom has always been a contentious place. For all the good things that can, and DO come out of it, which are ...
Small Essay Slots#17 (September 2020)
Damn, the progression of Time sure do be a thing. Been thinking of changing up some stuff here on Patreon, so I maaaay close the payments next month and actually work on remodelling everything, y'know! For now though...
Ruining of a Fandom: Subjectivity & Entitlement
Ruin has come to our family. You remember our venerable fandom, opulent and imperial, gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the thread? I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor shadowed community, fattened by content and theories-Okay that's MORE than enough of a meme reference to start off. Hello everyone, and welcome to another instalment of, 'Roxy talks about things she doesn't necessarily have a qualification to speak on, but still feels are important enough and should be,...
Creativity & Worldbuilding: Don't Give Up On Your Ideas
It's another episode of, ~Worldbuilding with Wak~.Or apparently the... First episode? Huh, I thought I had other essays about Worldbuilding, or at the very least tagged AS Worldbuilding! Hell, my Land Creation guide is, in a way, literal Worldbuilding. And I've said this word so many times already it's starting to lose its meaning. Great.Jokes aside, if you're just following me for my Homestuck and general Pop Culture and Social Media analysis stuff, you may not know this, but I ...
Small Essay Slots#16 (August 2020)
We're well beyond the halfway point in this year! Come on everybody, we can do it! Not feeling too good at the moment but hey, gotta put the Poll out at the very least so I can start working on these next week or so.
Rosebot: Descend (HS^2 - Meat Theory)
You know, I am really enjoying Homestuck^2. For all the reaction the Fandom has had to it, and how far they've taken their distaste of it, I actually, genuinely think it's telling a compelling story, and doing something unexpected and intriguing with the characters. I've talked before how I do think HS^2 and the Epilogues are a proper sequel to Homestuck, that is, that they took upon the foundation OG Homestuck had built, and continued expanding on those themes. And one of the things...
Out of the frying pan and into the fire: Identity & Stereotypes
Stereotypes, assumptions, comparisons... Some times they stem from a community itself, in-jokes shared among members of the same group, poking fun at themselves respectfully. But often, they're used to blame and dehumanize already vulnerable groups of people. Ill will, spite, and hurtful comments thrown towards them, pre-conceived ideas of how they HAVE to act, how a proper something-or-other is meant to be, how deviation from the norm is, at best, bad, and at worst, punishable by those with...
Small Essay Slots#15 (July 2020)
Hope everyone had a good Pride Month! July is a special Month for myself because, hey, it's my Birthday! And to celebrate, the two new options this month have a more... Personal flair to them. Particularly the first one, which will probably go away after this month if it doesn't get picked because it's a bit of a weird topic I'm still quite shy being public about.Thank you for your continued support, as usual! :3
She-Ra and the Classpects of Power
You know, when I said I would Classpect the She-Ra Characters, I didn't remember just how many main character this series had. But hey, I am committed to see this through. She-Ra is extremely good, and also, extremely gay. As you may imagine, this Essay contains Spoilers for All Seasons, so if you haven't watched the Series, first of all, continuing WILL Spoil you major character beats and plot points, and second- What are you doing? Go watch it, seriously, I don't think I have cried...
