Every now and then I get a BMI royalty payment for a film I worked on. Nothing major but it’s a little surprise treat. It’s conflicting cause while it was one of the most stressful projects I’ve ever worked on, it’s also the only royalty I’ve ever gotten

Finally got round to watching Daemons of the Shadow Realm and gave the Dub a shot! 1. Right (Bill Butts) and Gabby( Mikaela Krantz) were standouts! 2. Getting Envy’s VA was clutch, locked me in 100% 3. It occasionally leans into some of the anime Dub tropes I don’t love but nothing egregious

My partner and best friend Kyle suffered from two strokes last week. We need your help. gofund.me/e25c60dfb Anything helps, a like, a share, a donation. thank you for your support during this difficult time ❤️
Support Kyle Fraser’s Recovery after Two StrokesSome of you may know I’ve been dealing with a personal matter over the last week. Most of you do not. I consider myself a very private person but I need to ask for help at this time. 

Last week, my partner and best friend, Kyle Fraser, suffered from two strokes in a single day. 

There is a very long and expensive road ahead, and our friends have been gracious enough to help organize a GoFundMe for anyone who wishes to offer their support. On it, we have written up more detail on his condition for anyone curious.  Even a repost or share helps. The link to that is in my bio, my story, highlights - pretty much anywhere. 

Thank you for your thoughts and support at this time. Apologies in advance if I take some time to reply, I’m taking it one day at a time. 

For those who don’t know him, Kyle is probably the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. He is as gentle and brilliant as much as he is strong and funny. He loves his two cats Poly and Moog, and adopted them with the explicit intention of ‘which cats are you having a hard time adopting?’ Though he can be reserved and introverted, Kyle has a fierce passion for his career and will always offer a helping hand to anyone in need, often taking calls to mentor professionals beginning their career. I’ve become a better person through knowing and loving him. Photo of Kyle and I early last year

No, because we’ve gotten to this place where everything needs to be explained or include extensive backstory which has made a money grab for studios and a crutch for the human imagination. People need to be comfortable with endings again. Sitting and chewing on the what if of a thing.
