Unfiltered Prison of Plastic Review - Part 2

The last half of this review is bashing the character of Lorelai for being entirely unsympathetic. If that's going to give you RSD... dip out at this point!

Unfiltered Prison of Plastic Review - Part 1

WHEW. I've been sitting on this one for a LONG WHILE.  This is going to be a VERY negative review, so please avoid listening if that's going to give you RSD.

How the Minch Stole Christmas

"Wait, Candaru. This wasn't on the list of projects you said you were working on. You didn't find something new and feverishly complete it instead of working on your WIPs again, did you?"

"..."

"CANDARU."

Snowgrave - Carol of the Bells

Oh Boy It's Christmas! (Well, this is Patreon, so you're seeing it early. Oh Boy It's Thanksgiving!)

Mark of Inspiration: Creative Process

Everything I know, I learned from Jello. That's not even hyperbole. Like every other creative on earth, I grew up with ideas in my head and no clue how to actually make them into a reality. The most I'd done was write a lot of fanfic and do extensive research on the screenwriting industry, but actually making something on my own? No clue. Nothing. Nada.

The best advice on Jello's channel I ever heard was "how do I get people to read my writing?" to which the answer was, "make it somethi...

Mark of Inspiration: Script, Analysis, & Backstory

This is something I've been working on for a very long time! I'll be making a separate post about the upcoming audio and auditioning process, but for now, I wanted to talk about why I made this project to begin with, and what inspired the script.

MY PERSONAL BACKGROUND WITH MLP:FiM

When I was in high school, for our senior project, we were supposed to "shadow" someone in the industry that we wanted to work in. Through a series of good luck and connections, I someh...

Upcoming Projects!

Patreon is the place to give updates on stuff in the works, right? The bad news is, my move got delayed due to ✨ the horrors of the housing market! ✨ The good news is, I've got a few months now to really pump out the projects. So here's all the stuff currently in the works.

-Carol of the Bells: Snowgrave Version — exactly what it says on the tin. A Deltarune parody of the Christmas classic. Pierce, the vocalist for Glass Rabbit, will be returning for this!

-Highbeam Highligh...

Reunited - Original Lyrics

Sorry for the inactivity while I've been preparing to move! Are there any lyrical song covers you'd like to see next? (Whether Epithet: Erased, Undertale, or something else!)

EE Skit Requests open!

Since I've been falling behind and there are only like 4 of you anyway, I figured this would be a good way to make up for some lost time!

Request any vine/meme/skit (no more than a minute) you want to see some EE characters animated to and I'll do it. Obviously nothing with problematic content (slurs, pedo ships, etc.)

Just link what you want in the comments below! vvv

Epithet: Erased D&D Alignment Audio Essay

This was a script for a video I wrote LONG before Prison of Plastic came out. Every time I went to work on it, I hated a new part of it (the writing, the voice acting, the audio quality), and I sucked at staying in communication with my audio editor (I ended up just inserting most of the EE quotes myself). Then PoP came out and I thought, "well, this is just a wash now," and ditched the project.

But I've been super slow with Patreon content lately so here, have this 27-minute scrapped a...

EE in a Nutshell E6

HOUGH THIS IS SO LATE. never get behind on a college history course kids

Update!

I noticed a few patrons dropping out— I'm here to say that's probably a good idea for the moment! I'll still be getting the next In A Nutshell and writing advice podcast out ASAP, but catching up in one of my college courses has been seriously throwing off my schedule, so I'm behind on a lot of things.

Hope everyone's having a good month so far!

What video do you want to see next?

Writing Advice - Sympathetic Villains

Candaru tries to give advice on this topic without repeatedly going on a tangent about how much she hates Lorelai. It's hard!

So This Is Basically: Prison Of Plastic (Audio)

SPOILERS FOR PRISON OF PLASTIC IN AUDIO AND DESCRIPTION!

As promised, the audio for a video which will never be made! I could try to tone down the script, fill it with more fluff jokes, etc., but honestly... I'd feel like I was lying if I did that. I CAN'T talk about this book without talking about how much I hate that the 17-year-old child abuser who is FULLY aware of her actions is treated like a sympathetic villain because she accidentally killed her mom. That does NOT make her a be...

EE in a Nutshell (E5)

Can I realistically speedrun my final papers in time to get you guys E6 by Sunday? We'll find out!

Cyborg Menace - Fandub

Still not feeling super great about how little content I've been able to prepare for you guys, so have a sneak peek of something that... honestly should've been posted ages ago, but is still sitting on the shelf for some reason! (The reason is that I'm bad at managing multiple projects at once and forget about them even if they're complete.)

This will go on the youtube at SOME point, with proper VA credits and such!

Writing Advice - How to Start

One of the hardest parts of writing literally anything is starting. Besides the age-old advice "just start," how do you actually do that?

As always, feel free to leave comments on future topics you'd like me to cover! :)

Gramer Gud (short stories + read-aloud)

Full transparency: The next EE in a Nutshell was supposed to come out for you guys today, but it’s nowhere near completion. There was a death in my family and it’s been pretty emotionally taxing. I’m still going to try and get the next nutshell video done ASAP so you guys can listen to it before the public release, but until then, I recorded this silly series that I co-wrote with a friend when I was around 13 called “Gramer Gud” which was literally just Pizza Game humor.

The p...

Writing Advice - Puzzle Battles

If you've ever played or watched a TTRPG, you know combat is fun to play and torture to watch. So how do you write a battle scene that's fun for an AUDIENCE, whether in a TTRPG, a book, or a TV show?

As usual, if you have requests for future topics please let me know in the comments! :)

Writing Advice - Utilizing Your Medium

Holy heck this sure is 9 days late!

Feel free to pester me if I'm ever late posting something, because there's a 99% chance I have it ready to post and I simply forgot to do so.
