NEW VIDEO! The Hunger
Hey friends!Nine months in the making, it's finally done!Whenever I'm working on a video people ask me what it's about. Sometimes it's easy to answer that question. "Envy" is about envy. But this video I've had a hard time summarizing. If I had to say it's about one thing, I'd say it's about desire.This project began as two separate ideas. One—a video about addiction. Two—what if Plato's symposium, but with lesbians? I can't really explain why I decided to combine them into one video, except t...
Preview Stills for Upcoming Video
Hey all!I've been slowed down a bit this month by health problems, but I'm doing better now and in the final editing crunch on this video that has taken 7 months to make. I figure you'd rather I just finish it as soon as possible, and then we can do some extra livestreams! In the meantime, here's some stills from the video, which will be posted in the next week or two!<3 Thanks for your patience and support,Natalie

28 Minutes of "Envy" Outtakes/BTS/Deleted Tangents
Hi friends!While I'm at work on my next video, here's 28 minutes of extra content to help tide you over!I shot more than 20 hours of raw footage for "Envy," and removed quite a bit of rough-cut material in later editing, so there was much more content to work with than usual in creating the outtakes video. The result is a supplement to "Envy" that's longer than many of my primary videos used to be.Enjoy!-Natalie

Invite to Submit Questions for AMA Stream #54
Dear 15+ Patrons,I've decided to label future AMA streams numerically, rather than naming them after months. This probably makes no difference to you, but it helps me in my brain because I am mentally ill. Serves you right for supporting artists.I'll go live next tonight, September 12, at 8pm ET.

Rethinking the AMA Stream Schedule
Hi all!We've been discussing for a while that the AMA streams have gotten a bit hard to manage—each session has 130+ questions, I have to break each "monthly" stream into two parts, each part lasts more than 4 hours—it's been stressing me out and contributing to my falling behind the monthly schedule.I've considered either replacing the AMA streams with a different reward, or changing the question format to live chat, but since this is one of the more popular Patreon perks I'd rather just try to make it work.My curre...

NEW VIDEO! Envy
Hey all!Here it is!I won't offer an explanation as to why this video took so long to make, because I think the video speaks for itself in that regard. It's been six months because this video took six months to make.This is me giving it everything I've got. I don't think I've ever worked so hard on anything.It will probably be quite a while before I do another video this big, and I'm going to need to rethink some things about my process—but we can talk more about that soon. For now, enjoy the video, and thank you all so...

Update
Hey friends,Just want to check in because it’s been a little while. I’m ashamed that another month has passed without my finishing the video and I’m once again racking up AMA Stream debt, which will be paid off of course in a marathon when the video is done. But I figure the least I can do is let you know how things are going.I’ve been working on what was originally planned as “Justice (Part 2)”, but which has since mutated so much from the original concept that it’s been through two other working titles on its way to its final fo...
