SIGMA PAWS VIDEO FOLLOWUP: Furry Weekly, art sourcing FAQ, etc
First of all, remember that feel-good furry webzine (?) that Anthony ghosted?
www.furryweekly.com/
The story gets a bit sadder, because they're specifically on a bit of a hiatus due to a lack of staff. So if you're a writer who likes what Furry Weekly does and wants to engage with the community more, consider reaching out to President and Editor Yeshua. You could be the Sigma Paws they never had!

People also ask about the shirt I was wearing in that little investigative reporting segment, and that'd be by MothSprout! You can find their stall at a lot of cons!

The hyena "curtain" people keep asking about is a blanket that showed up in my PO box last year. I kinda throw my "set" together in five minutes before recording a video, just trying to find anything that can make for an okay shot. Sourcing it was a bit tough, but I did find a post of the image titled "hyena pattern" by brindledcashew on FurAffinity back in 2012 [I feel like I can't link FA on youtube lol]. I can't find evidence of a store anywhere, so my guess is someone on Amazon probably ripped the image and has since been taken down for copyright violations or something.
I pre-ordered my Zodd figure from the BigBadToyStore a while back and got a bit jump-scared when he arrived and was huuuuge. If you would also like to have distracting musculature on your desk, it looks like he's still in stock and hasn't gone the way of all those exorbitantly expensive second-hand Weregarurumon figures I keep looking at. Yet. I don't even like Digimon really he's just that cool. Like Obstagoon. I do read Berserk though. You saw my collection in the Beastars video.

And finally we have the miserable lemur. He's by Eric Strother! I couldn't find an active store online, but I've seen him at a lot of cons, generally at the far corner of that huge black stall that Jonathan Vair Duncan brings everywhere. I bought the print in person. I've also bought too many from JVD lol. You can usually spot Eric because he's got these really beautiful furry masks on display. Like solid masks, not fursuit heads. My resistance to getting one wears thinner every year.

There. Now I can link people here whenever these questions crop up. And no, I am not sponsored or compensated by anyone mentioned in this post in any way. I don't set out to do product placement specifically, but I also don't want to ignore people who ask about what they're looking at.
But anyway, I forgot to put a call to action in the new video essay, so the Patreon account didn't see much activity. Whoops. That's how I actually make a living since these videos certainly don't pay lol. You can read an early draft of the Beast Complex script over there. I also streamed the editing process of the Sigma Paws video (19 hours!) exclusively to Patrons and the VODs are still up.

Beast Complex Essay WIP Snapshot 5/9/24
www.patreon.com/posts/beast-complex-5-103936187
The next video essay script is coming along fairly quickly. Patrons get to read through a frozen snapshot of where I was before I left for FWA and had to take a break from working on it. Hope to have a finished script soon! Maybe I'll stick to what I'm doing, maybe I'll restructure it. I need to weigh how valuable it is to be tight and concise, vs the potential value of explaining a whole manga to Beastars anime viewers who will never read it.
Needed something to keep me company on the way home from FWA and this video rocks. A breakdown of how shaky the history of gender is, both narratively and scientifically.
WHERE HAVE I BEEN?! Well, I actually put out another video essay about a month ago, but it was kind of dead on arrival so it may not have been shown to you. I'm rebranding it a bit to see if I can give it a second chance. Check it out! Anyway, I'm pretty far along on a script for a video on Beast Complex, the half-predecessor, half-spinoff of Beastars. I'll probably put up a fragmented WIP script up on Patreon this week before I leave for FWA, and then once I get back from that trip I'll be trying to get that video made for ya'll ASAP!
Next video essay is basically done! It's about Evil Dead Rise! You can watch it right now on my Patreon while also helping me pay rent and whatnot.

The next video will probably be about either Beast Complex or Before You Depart, depending on what my brain takes to. Hopefully much sooner than these last two videos! Trying to figure out my workflow there lol, by which I mean I have a scheduled appointment to figure out if I have ADHD or not.
QUEER TOLKIEN RESEARCH LET'S GOOO!
Our new TTRPG Actual Play series has begun! I promised you some gay cowboys!
it's coming
👁️
On our Actual Play channel we just wrapped up our first season: Cape Escape! It's a tight, short, fast paced (for a TTRPG game) campaign that lasted seven weeks and is presented like a visual novel. If you're not a fan of waiting, you can now just binge the whole thing! We're really happy with how things turned out, and there's now also a weekly bonus discussion series as well.
Check it out! youtube.com/@GnollplayingGames/featured
Look forward to our weird west campaign coming next year: Deadlaws!
You know how other kinds of YouTubers make a Let's Play channel? Well this Let's Play guy just made an Other channel.
