Audio update! And thumbnail previews!
🕑 Added 2025-12-19 20:52:43 +0000 UTCHi, all! I come bearing news!
Technically, I have this week's audio in the can, and near completion. I could even get the finished product out tonight, if I really applied myself. (Although RIP early access.)
However: I'm not going to. It's for a good, creatively meaningful reason this time rather than the usual life-falling-apart thing, though! Whew, amirite?
Instead, there will be TWO main channel audios next week! ^^ A remaster and a new sequel, which should total 45-60 minutes in length if my guess is right?
See, back in 2023, I recorded Forcing Your Enemy to Confess, the first part of a lengthy fantasy series. I was sick when I did so, and it made my voice husky af in a fun way that I can rarely manage. (Do I sound like an old diner waitress named Dottie who smokes five packs a day? Absolutely! Do I love that for me? YES.)
It didn't last, of course, but I figured I'd be able to do a follow-up episode the next time I got sick and had that particular symptom. I posted the audio, put the sequel script on the back burner, and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And...
Uhh....
Well, you get the idea. Every time I got sick, I was like "Now?!" but no. My pipes would not cooperate.
Then, joy of joys! (No.) I got sick a couple months back! Surprisingly enough, my voice was FINALLY the same. I even went back and listened to a few seconds of part one to double check. Hooray! A match.
So I recorded part two (a snippet of which you can hear in my sick blooper here) and I've been working on the file this week, hoping to get it ready for release tonight.
Deep in the weeds of editing last night/early this morning, I decided to take a break and re-listen to part one in its entirety -- which I haven't done in 2+ years -- just to make sure everything would mesh the way I wanted. I got a nasty shock.
While the voices fit together, the pacing in the first installment is waaaay off from the -- imo superior -- pacing of the second. I find it so jarring that I can't abide the massive difference. I need to fix it.
What I'm going to do is dig part one out of my backup files and give it a quick update. Nothing huge (I hope) just shift some lines around to fix the issue. I'm a little scared that once I pull stuff out of the (metaphorical) deep freeze, I'll find something hugely wrong with it and I'll have to scrap the whole idea. But for now, this is the plan!
I may even record part three if everything works out and I'm feeling particularly daring because -- yay! -- I'm actually coming down with something again, and will likely forgo most holiday festivities that don't involve being cozy in bed as a result.
So! No audio today. In the meantime, I DO have a thumbnail update + new one to share, to help make up for it a bit. Originally I was just going to re-skin part one, but now it'll get a nice fresh face to go with its fresh pacing. ^^
(Currently tweaking a potential thumbnail three, let's consider that pending.)
I'll be back soon! With...something? Stay tuned!

Here's some cursed knowledge for you: I once saw someone make the argument that King George III counts as a yandere because of that song. I can't disagree. 💀

Only Velvet would be thrilled to be sick, so she can do a raspy and sensual voice for a character. "Velvet, what is wrong with you?" That was a rhetorical question. I'm both amazed and in awestrucked of your dedication to your audios, Velvet.

She’ll be back. Soon you’ll see. You’ll remember Vel belongs to we! She’ll be back, audios will tell. You’ll remember that she served us well. Thumbnails rise, voices fall. We have seen her through it all! And when push comes to shove, She will send a Patreon post to remind us of her love Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da!

Feel better soon, Vel! At least it's the right kind of sick? I guess??? Looking forward to the audio as always 💖

When I saw the thumbnail on the post I was like, "I won't confess" "That sounds familiar" nice to know I was misremembering. It's nice to know it's getting a remaster and a sequel, even if the remaster isn't "anything huge" as you put it. I shall now rewatch that audio in preparation for next week! >:D Also while I understand that the reason your recording it while sick is because of the specific way your voice sounds when you are sometimes sick, it does make me feel bad and worried that you even are working while sick, even if it is your choice, and for a specific reason. Don't forget to rest up and take care of yourself when you aren't working, and don't overwork yourself, yeah? That being said, I AM very much excited for next week nonetheless, Thank You very much for working so hard for us all the time Vel, Take care of yourself please and thank you, Miss Ma'am. 🧡🖤✨

🗣️ONLY THE BEST YOUTUBER WOULD MAKE AWESOME CONTENT FOR US WHILE SICK!! Absolute stroke of genius! Awesome use of the situation! (I’m actually sick myself rn so it’s relatable lol, but unfortunately I didn’t develop a badass voice that sounds like I was born with a whisky double in one hand and a lucky strike in the other haha) YOU’RE THE BEST VEL!🫶

On one hand, I'm happy for you the stars have aligned to make a sequel you've wanted for a long time. On the other hand, nobody really wants you sick. It isn't fun. Wishing you a speedy recovery and happy holidays.
