Update on the Apache
That Halo video I discussed will certainly come out at SOME point, but I've decided to keep it in the reserve as I embark upon my Apache Wars trilogy. Three videos over three months, each one covering roughly a decade and focusing on a different figure. I really cannot bear to not deliver again, but it's going to be a busy three months, and I need the Halo video ready in case of a delay.
This is what Yeehaw Summer should have been (it's Yeehaw Fall now) but I wasn't ready to pull that off at the time. My schedule is less free now, as I'm going to school, but last weekend I managed to drive to Big Bend National Park (no small feat) to film the first video. The resulting footage exceeded expectations, and I'll be returning later this month to record some additional footage for Part One (the ending could be improved), as well as Part Two itself. I'm doing reshoots for you people, we're getting it done.
The problem I've had is that the Apache Wars are monstrously complicated. This is a general problem with writing history, reality does not map cleanly onto the simple three-act narrative structures which the human brain likes.
I've been busy and your money is being, I think, well spent. I hope you'll agree with me at the end of the month. I'd be lying if I said that I'm not demoralized at the moment. YouTube doubled-down on AI (& shorts) just as it removed my most earnest and personal video. All the same, your support and patience has meant the world to me as I've embarked upon my most difficult project yet.
Part One, I fear, will be the worst as it's simply the lacking in the detail and humanity which I strive to capture in history videos, it's nonetheless essential to the broader story. The video centers mostly on Mangas Coloradas and Cochise, two Apache Chiefs who didn't leave behind personal perspectives, and thus feel more like legends than people. This problem is only made worse by the lack of pictures of both of them.
This is easily the biggest challenge I've faced yet. I need to make a complicated, bleak, and long story digestible, informative, and entertaining. It's a difficult balance to strike, and it's too soon to say if I succeeded.
I can say that the first 15 minutes which I've edited is fun and well-paced, but it's always hard to say if I over-simplified the story to achieve that. We'll see soon.
Thanks again for your patience and support. This is my most ambitious project yet, and it's as algorithm-unfriendly as possible. I've been laying the groundwork necessary this past month, and I promise I've been working diligently on research, writing, and filming. I've only now begun to see the fruits of my labor, and can't wait for you to see them too.

Just wanted to make sure that you were still alive. All the best.
It's been 2 months. The people want their cobbler crackdowns, dammit. Black girl magic.
From one dry drunk to another, God speed brother
I’m very close to abject poverty. I know not how long I will be able to continue paying for Patreon but I will do my best for our lord COBBLER
Looking forward to this as all hell! I love Carlin's Apache Tears piece.
Fuck the algorithm
Create Cobbler
Cobble…
Here all the way for it man. Enjoy Big Bend, and best of luck with the academics.
DJ Peach Cobbler is the femboy girlfriend of Charlie Kirk's shooter. I just cant prove it yet. But I will. Love you DJPC 😍
I’ve grown to love the enthusiastic schizo rambling of a man obsessed with the dark side of history, take your time friend. Can’t wait for the next video.
When can we expect the next video?
Before the end of the month!
im so fucking hyped
I really wanna watch the apache and aztec videos but they are so fucking depressing that I am struggling getting through them. Like, very nice that we traded an entire continent's people's culture for hamburgerland
Take care you beautiful fruity man!
When will DJPC Cobbler feel peace?
Yeehaw Summer is a state of mind, not a season. Excited to see it stay all the way to next summer
I hope you got apples. Those are great fruits. Strawberries and raspberries are my favorite.
How much money do I have to give you to get a Yeehaw Winter as well¿
The plan for winter is Carl Jung Cozy. So, a particularly schizo arc
God I wanted to see you in that wizard 🧙♂️ costume 😹
For whatever it's worth, I don't think a single project you've ever released has lacked humanity
What about the one where he begged Casey Anthony to marry him so they could kill more babies together ... That wasn't cobbler?
Can’t rush these things big dog, ur good 👍
Take your time, you autist. Reading books for school and not just fun and yt must be stressful also, no complaints here.
Don't put pressure on yourself man, take your time, don't prioritize this over your wellbeing or anything. You'll make a banger!
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that if we wanted nuanced, complex versions of history we'd go read books. Your videos have never disappointed in the past, they are unlikely to now.
Great to hear more Apache videos are coming. Take my money.
My guy Cobblerino can do it in the speed he wants you gave me content so good i decided to use Patreon 1st time in my life this month it's now 2 years yay get my polish money and have a tiny bit more stable life where you can create awesome stuff in peace i really don't demand shit fr
I would rather wait for a genuine cobbler video than slop. As always will continue to support and wait for amazing content.
I’m loving the Sergio Leone style harsh contrast shadows in the desert. Can’t wait!
Best of luck man, I’m sure it’ll be awesome.
I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever you are cooking. Don't you dare turn into a SlopTuber!
How's school going dude?
As the fall clears the autumn leaves, may you and your content blossom, white man. Looking forward to more content as always pie guy.
I was always a fall sort of guy anyway.
Another historical trilogy+? Hell yeah that's my favorite thing you do, I believe in you pie man.
Looking forward to it pie man.
Excited to see what you make. That really sucks with your video being removed by YouTube. Art is not advertiser friendly
This sounds truly remarkable, Señor Cobbler! You going back to school after a bit and processing some truly devastating trauma is inspiring and a tremendous display of resilience. Looking forward to how this develops! Thank you.
I look forward to all of your videos. I hope the government shutdown doesn’t impede your filming process. I’d hate for the cranks in Washington to put down REAL history.
cannot wait. please take your time pie man
Yeehaw Fall is the best season after Yeehaw Summer.
