Hey chums,

In this episode, we look over one of my favorite character arcs in Hiveswap Friendsim/Homestuck--that of the MSPA Reader: In other words, you/me/us. The way their character arc progresses through friendsim to the end of Homestuck is one of my favorite things about the story now, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Hope you feel the same way.

Til then, Keep rising!

New Patreon Perk!

Hey pals, I've updated the 50 dollar patron tier with a new perk.

As a special thank you for helping the channel really take flight, you’ll receive a one-time set of fully original, gorgeously illustrated, limited edition optimisticDuelist pins.

A couple notes: The hope is to eventually sell these as merch, but as things stand right now I can't really promise they'll ever be available that way. Let me issue a reminder though that I discourage anyone from hopping on this tier unless they're totally economically stable! Please take care of yourselves before trying to support the channel more than you're able, or at all.

Other perks at lower tiers are in the works, and I will be updating you all on those as they come out. You can get an idea of what some of those perks will be by looking at the Patreon Goals I've outlined, which I'll include in their own post. Or, you can look at them here: https://www.patreon.com/optimisticDuelist

Thanks, and as always,

Keep rising.

PATREON/YT Channel/Essay content UPD8

Hey guys! I've got several upd8s for you: 

1) Patron voting on the Beta Kids' videos has already begun, and will continue until April 13th. I wanna make sure I get the kids' videos right, so I'm not going to rush making them. Over the next couple of months, we're going to do videos on the Friendsim trolls and my views on their classpects/the Hemospectrum instead. Maybe some other stuff, too, but that's a surprise ;)

2) I'm going to be attending the Perfectly Generic Live Show on March 24th! Kate was kind enough to invite me onto the show as a panelist, along with other rad folks like the creators of Vast Error, Hiveswap musician James Roach, and Hiveswap Friendsim's head writer Aysha Farah! I'm immensely excited about it and honored to get to join.

The show will be hosted at the open-access Guildhall Bar in Burbank, California. If you're in the area, feel free to drop by and say hi! All info on the show is here: https://perfectlygenericpodcast.com/live

3) It turns out, I'm moving soon. This means I'm going to have my own recording/workplace and can devote myself to the channel full-time, which means more content for all of you--hopefully including more streams and stuff like that. But it also means more expenses for me! If running this channel doesn't end up being able to pay my bills, I may eventually have to consider getting another job and dropping or slowing down content substantially.

That won't happen soon. You can expect me to stay around without issues until at least June~July. But if you're invested in this channel and seeing my Homestuck content keep growing, and you have the income to support me on Patreon, now really is the best time to do so. That's because I'm revamping the Patreon, too! I've updated it with a new Patron-exclusive perk, with several more coming down the pipeline, and several Patron goals that I think many fans will find pretty useful and exciting, if/when we hit them.

You can find pretty much all the new details here:

https://www.patreon.com/optimisticDuelist

But otherwise, I'll be putting all the new Patreon information in another news post shortly, so keep an eye out for that. Til then, keep rising.

Thanks, and as always, Keep rising!

A. CLAIRE...A CLONE? Joey...the Heir of Life!?

This time we go over some of my wilder thoughts on the potential identity of A. Claire, and explore the only other title for Joey that seems like a solid possibility to me, based on Act 1.

But you know, that's just a theory. A Hiveswap theory. :o)

Today’s questions are: Do you think Joey’s an Heir of Life, or a Maid of Light? Think there’s anything to this stuff with A. Claire? Think I’ve finally lost it completely? Lemme know :3

A special shout out has to go out to the tracks I used from the NEW HOMESTUCK-THEMED ALBUM, p[S], by Casual Sunday. Casual Sunday is a new musical group made up of former Homestuck music team veterans, and they’ve really outdone themselves with this album, so I encourage showing them some support!
