Hello everyone, Mag here with an update on Lost's health and surgery situation!
I have some GREAT news and some bad news. Let's start with the great news, shall we?
The surgery was a complete success! The surgeon was able to remove the parts she needed to without any complications. She was also able to leave the ovaries, which is WONDERFUL! Lost was in the hospital most of the day, her pain was incredibly high, even with the meds, but in the end she was a tough b*tch like we all know she is and she decided to come home. She had a really rough night last night, didn't sleep much at all, but she is safe, and I am taking care of her 24/7. If you check the update on the GoFundMe you'll see a Google doc with pictures of the growth they removed and *holy hell it was gnarly and massive*!! I named it Countess Carol Cuntingham the Cauliflowered LOL.
Now for the bad news. The Surgeon came and talked to us afterwards and confirmed that she will absolutely need some physical therapy after she recovers from the surgery. Our insurance is a nightmare, and from what I've been told thus far it is not likely to be covered, so please keep sharing the GoFundMe and consider supporting Lost if you can, it would help her so SO much.
Lost has only seen a fraction of the love and support she has recieved and already she feels overwhelmed in the best way possible. She never knew just how beloved she really was, and how many people would even just offer words of comfort and support. Please keep it coming! She may not have the capacity to see them all right now, she will over the course of her recovery and she will need that boost <3
We're looking at a 6 week recovery and then immediately some PT. This is the best outcome we could have asked for! There's more details on GoFundMe also if you're curious! And in case you need it, this is the link:

Important Health and Content Updates
Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their unending patience with me as of late, and I know I’ve been mostly quiet about the things that have been going on with me. I have always been the kind of creator who only wants people to be entertained with content, not bogged down with bad news. Well, I feel things happening IRL have escalated to a point that I need to let my audience know as it has, and will, affect content creation in the near future. I’ll start with the bad news, and end with content updates so that you don’t have to leave on such a negative note.
Trigger Warning: Medical procedure discussion
Okay. So, some of you who have been with me and my channel for years will know/remember that around 8 or so years ago I had surgery to remove a basketball-sized cyst that grew from within my right fallopian tube. I had to have the fallopian tube removed entirely, but I was able to keep everything else. As you can imagine, it was a terrifying and traumatic experience for me, one I am grateful that I survived with the fandom’s help and support. (Mag calls me a ‘Medical Miracle’ lol). Since then, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and have been receiving ongoing monitoring and care from my OBGYN ever since.
Sometimes when things happen to us health-wise, we tend to ignore the signs and symptoms until we can’t anymore, and I’m afraid I’m at that position at the current moment. A little over 2 weeks ago I was having extreme abdominal and back pain that kept me bedridden for two days. Mag got me to my OB and they ran all kinds of tests and conducted an Ultrasound examination. I’m deeply saddened to inform you all that they did in fact, find two fibroids in my uterus, and more importantly an unidentified mass growing on my right ovary. At the time, there was concern that it was the beginning stages of Ovarian Cancer (something that runs in my family), but I have received the bloodwork results from the testing that day and Mag and I are 99% sure I’m cancer free (although I do need to wait to hear it from my doctor when she returns from a trip on the 30th of this month). I have been scheduled for a CT scan on May 1st to properly identify the mass, but as many of you are probably guessing, it’s looking like another cyst. Due to the nature of the cyst, my history with the previous one, and the complications and pain it has presented, this is most likely also going to require major surgery. I won’t know the specifics until we get the CT scan results and my doctor recommends which kind of surgery I will need to undergo this time around.
I won’t lie to you all, I’m scared. Very scared. Having gone through this already, I’m not coping with the news well, and having to deal with a considerable amount of pain on top of it. Family and close friends have been wonderful emotional support, and I’m doing everything I can to stay positive, but this leads us now into productivity and future content updates.
Immortal Affliction -
This has become a Roman Empire for some of you, and I get it LOL. Mag has officially finished writing part 3, and she is working on art coordination (she writes very detailed art docs). This project is a priority for this channel, so Mag and I, along with our team, will be working as much and as fast as we can on finishing this for you all.
Apple of the Dead -
Something’s gotta give, and right now it’s going to be Apple of the Dead. It isn’t cancelled, it’s just on hiatus for a bit. I appreciate everyone who has been watching the series, rest assured it will make a return as soon as we are able.
Bloopers -
Finally some good news to share! Mag and I have been working on the next Blooper reel and you can expect it in the next week or so. We’re excited to finally show off our new vectors by being incompetent at reading and acting for colorful horse stories.
Additional Content -
I know some of you have also been chomping at the bit for the next podcast in the Apple Sleep Podcast Series, the next installment is all about the voice acting. That episode has been recorded and is in the editing process. There’s another vlog-style video in the works as well that I don’t want to give away too much detail about, but it centers around my creative process with Fanfic readings.
I’ve included a picture of my biggest supporter in this trying time (other than Mag, of course). Alice is taking on the role of Nurse for Momma very well (she hasn’t left my side, I think she knows something isn’t okay LOL). And finally, thank you again for your patience and understanding (and reading all of this). I hope you all have a wonderful day.

It's with so much sadness that I type this out. On Sunday, January 12th, I found Peanut in our living room early morning and she had passed away. It was sudden and unexpected, considering she was acting normal the day before. She was almost 15 years old, so I know it was just her time.
Mag and I are shattered and grieving. The other cats are ok. We are giving them lots of love and affection, especially Sniper who has been with her since 2012. I've had Peanut since she was 2 months old. She never failed to interrupt my recordings (and provide you all with so many laughs and memories), or sit in Mag's lap while she worked (we called it "20 minutes on Mommy"), or headbutt me to show me how much she loved me. Friends and family described her as the cuddliest and friendliest cat they'd ever met and it honestly still surprises me just how many people's lives she touched.
Goodbye my Sweet Baby Nut Pea. You were a star in every way and one of a kind. There was only one of you. It was just time for you to finally go home. Until I see you again.
