Filming update!

After taking a little extra time off to make sure my throat was fine, I'm coming back this week with filming and streams! 

My throat should hold up okay, but if it doesn't I may have to put MDZS on hold for a little longer since that series requires the most talking. I'm trying to avoid my cough worsening into one of those things that sticks around for six months, because if that happens again I'll have to find a doctor an...

After Dark: The Legend of Vox Machina

Episodes 1-3:  https://share.vidyard.com/watch/oa7TtxsWrG4XqKpoRjn1Gg?

Basically, a long-running D&D livestream kickstarted enough money to make an entire animated series out of their first campaign. The people behind this stream range from excellent allies to actual queer people who are all very so...

Should I launch Discord in February or nah?

I mean, it's so close to being ready that I'm sending out official Mod requests as we speak but I dunno maybe we haven't waited long enough, like maybe this should be a summer thing or something idk let me know what you think <3

EDIT: Y'all this was my way of announcing that Discord is dropping early next month while clowning myself at the same time and the fact that half of these comments are still like ...

Patrons Only: Win a copy of MDZS Vol. 1

Rhast was super generous and sent me Vol. 1 of all three MXTX's officially translated series. Fortunately for all of you, I already had vol. 1 of MDZS, which means I have two copies. 

Patreon doesn't support giveaways, but if you want a shot at that extra copy drop a comment on this post. Where the copy winds up going will be announced on Tuesday's MDZS reading livestream. <3

Heaven Official's Blessing: Donghua or drama? (Poll)

Season two of the donghua drops this year, and I could react to season one in time for season two to drop (whenever that time comes). Or I could wait however long it takes for Eternal Faith to air and start there, even though it may look quite a bit different under China's recommittal to censorship. 

I'd like to start with the donghua since we know we'll get something this year, but since I'm entirely ignorant to the story...

It's actually happening this time!

A new way to support: Charity Tier

If I lead off this year with any message, let it be this one: there is no shame in asking for help. And today I really get to practice what I preach.

I've just added a brand new Tier to my Patreon. You can find details on the main page as per usual, but to summarize: we live right at the poverty line, our rent will be increasing very soon, and we have several financial burdens hanging over our heads (like most people in our pos...

Send me links of Wang Yibo dancing!

Despite my overwhelming desire and curiosity, I haven't gone down the Wang-Yibo-does-kpop route yet. Basically, I wasn't ready? That's not as dramatic as it sounds, my brain just had a hard time accepting kpop choreo and Wangji existed in the same person. It's like Leonard Nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins (except kpop choreo is, you know, sexier). 

Then I realized what a potentially great reaction video it would make...es...

Sign up here to help out with Discord!

Gaywatch in early 2022 will be about finally getting around to certain bits of fun and content that have been on the books for seemingly ages. This, of course, means Discord! 

The Wife has done a lot of foundational work in learning/setting up everything so far, because she's the greatest person alive. But we could also use some help getting the server up, running, and improving (plus a couple of moderators). ...

Opening more gifts!

Another batch of gifts landed in my P.O. box, and as usual I filmed my unboxing experience (lol). There was a bit of a delay between my recording this and actually posting it due to a couple of life reasons....and an ER visit. But I do my best to get these to you asap. <3

Public Livestream: Q+A/Most Anticipated of 2022

Since there won't be a Wednesday Guardian this week, I decided to throw an end of year livestream!

When: Wednesday, Dec. 15th at 3:00pm EST

What: After I answer some questions from both Patreon and Youtube, I'm gonna layout my list of Most Anticipated queer/shippable media set to release next year! It includes everything from movies to shows to BL series to video games. After that I'll op...

Health/Channel Update

There will only be one video this Saturday, as I'm currently in an ER waiting room with what is most likely a stomach ulcer. I'm not in much pain at all and it's easily treatable, but it's one of those things that requires immediate attention. 

Protip: don't take ibuprofen for an extended period of time. 

I'll be fine, thankfully it's just a stressful hassle at this point. I'm looking at a possible 4-5 hour wait...

The Wife: Hey let's go get pizza and hangout 😁❤🏳️‍🌈🍕

Me: Absolutely, I love you and have no  to post at 3pm for a lovely group of waiting people. 🥰🍕😘❤

Ahem....let me get home and I'll post them immediately. I have been trash about Saturday posts lately, I'm so sorry. Going back to  scheduling the post like three days in advance. 💀

2022 New Content Poll: Which comes first?

One of the ways I hope to grow the channel next year is by adding some new flavors of content. Getting-to-know-you stuff, fandom and shipping discussions, opinion pieces, a more Direct Address style in general. There are a couple of topics that need to come first by definition (like Most Anticipated of 2022 etc) but other than that I have no order preference! Which means you guys get to vote on it!

We'll get to most of these ev...

Surprise! Cowboy Bebop Ep. 1

If you follow the Gaywatch Tumblr, you probably know about the Anon who recently informed me of queerness in this new live action series. I dunno when or how, but it definitely happens and I am DEFINITELY all over it. I'd planned on watching the series anyway (I always meant to get to the anime someday) and now I have an excuse to make an event out of it. <3

Vidyard problems? Come here!

Would anyone like to beta read a short story?

I haven't mentioned it in a while, but in case you didn't know: I'm a writer! Been writing since forever. Quite literally first grade. I've treated it as my main career ambition since 2009 and, despite mental health doing a massive number on my ability to do basically anything, that ambition never wavered. I've done a lot of writing over the years, but have only completed two novel length projects--a record I plan on improving next y...
