“Ayyy, pink man, where the content at”
So uh, it’s been a bit since a Patreon upload, huh 😅 I got over a month ahead on all three of my recurring series, so I gave myself a nice casual week off.
Aaaaand then I got sick. And I’ve been running auditions and callbacks for my IRL job, which has been very fun, but also a lot.
But honestly? All of that is just fluff sitting on top of the shite. Because this month has been really, really hard. Probably the hardest month I’ve had since Mortius was a thing. I’ve been presented with a number of things that have challenged me as a human and as a creator, and the ways that I typically try to deal with and move past challenges in my life have been removed from my lotus of control. Partially as a result, within the last few weeks, I have re-started therapy specifically for the sake of content creation, and how to do it in the healthiest way for myself and those around me.
I… don’t know what that’s going to mean for content in the short term. I’m very lucky and grateful that I was able to get so far ahead on content before this all really took off, and that my editors are doing a great job essentially keeping things going without me. But it’s really, really hard to make myself make content on my own right now. So… it might be a bit. But I thank all of you for being here and supporting me throughout. Hope to return soon.

that's rough definitely make sure to put your mental health first i cant exactly speak for anyone else but i myself knew when signing up for patreon that it wouldn't be regular single uploads but rather batches and then a break. Anyway i just want to say i appreciate what you do so much so thank you and just remember to make sure you take care of yourself which it sounds like you are doing :)
K-Pop Therapy Hunters? Jokes aside, I'm glad to hear you're gonna take time to take care of yourself. Hope you find satisfaction in the work you have and the life you live and the community you've fostered. :)
Love the transparency. We know you'll do what you're able to, and we'll be able to wait patiently. Appreciate your content.
Do what you must pink man!!!!
Good luck I hope you feel better soon! But for yourself not for us, you are the priority not your content 💙💙
So appreciative of the info you are willing to share. It helps to remind us that we are not alone. Sending positive & healing vibes your way. We can wait.
You are the priority. Even if you need a full hiatus, we'll be here when you come back. Take care of yourself and get lots of kisses from the puppies. That's the best medicine.
You don't know how much we appreciate what honesty you're comfortable with giving. I know we'll be fine while you rearrange what needs it in your life, get required rest and start to feel better. I could go on for an hour about why taking your time is okay, and the right decision. Till you return, we have so much to binge-watch, so don't worry. All my best wishes to you.
As someone who struggles with severe chronic anxiety and depression…. Thank you for taking care of yourself. Take as long as you need, we’ll all still be here when you’re ready. ❤️
Wishing you nothing but the best. Glad you are taking control and working towards a healthier way forward. The community will be here when you get things settled and will always support you in your need for more personal time. Be well and happy. ❤️
You take care of yourself, and know that we are all here, routing for you the best we can.
Take all the time you need! Health + getting better are the most important things. We will all be here supporting you in the meantime <3
Take whatever time you need. We will be here supporting you no matter what.
Really appreciate the check in. Take care of you! 💜
At the end of the day, it is what it is. You're only one person, which means you can only do so much. Especially when times get tough and that isn't a failure on your part that's just normal. But the content isn't the only reason why people want to support you via patreon or on YouTube. It's because of the passion you show, the value that your commentary adds to whatever you're reacting to and the way you connect with your audience just by being you. And you can't be the best you if you aren't looking after yourself. So take the time you need to get things together, feel better and when you're ready, your stage will still be here and so too will your viewers.
A poster on my wall says, "Things to remember when going though hard times: 1, Everything can - and will - change. 2, You've overcome challenges before. 3, Everything's a learning experience. 4, Other people's negativity isn't something to worry about. 5, There is always something to be thankful for..." ect. I can't remember the rest off the top of my head but you get the picture. As fans, we can only be here for you digitally, but remember you have people in your corner, and you can get through anything that comes your way because you have gotten through everything that has already been sent your way.
We’ll be here no matter what, Mortius. Take as long as you need.
Take as long as you need, we’ll be here when you’re ready. Thanks for the heads up, I hope things get better for you soon 💕
Chin up pink man. Life has it's highs and lows, the content might slow down or take a break, but you've built a community here that cares about your well-being. The people will understand when you're in need of personal time, and they'll appreciate you when you come back with your head actually in the game instead of going through the motions to fill a quota
It’s okay. You are not a content vending machine. You are a human. Or so I try to tell myself when I put undue pressure on myself.
creator comes before content <3 take however long you need. i hope things look up for you soon :)
Take your time and we’ll all wait patiently. You have to take care of you. I’m just really sorry that my circumstances have changed and I’ll have to cancel my account 😞
I'm sure this is easier said than done, but if it were me, I'd take Septembers off entirely from content. You work in the school system, right? Give those kids and your own life 100% for now, we'll be here when things calm down and you feel up to content again. I think we'd all rather see a happy and healthy Mortius later than an overworked Mortius now. Thanks for updating us, though. Take your time.
Take care of yourself, your well-being comes first! We'll be here whenever you're ready to come back 💜
Your health comes first, we'll be here whenever you're ready 💙

Take as much time as you need - personal wellbeing always come first 🩵 🫂
Take some time and take care of yourself!
Please take care of yourself as much as you're able ❤️
So sorry to hear you've been going through it - really hope things get better soon. P.S. "fluff on top of the shite" is an incredible metaphor. Thanks, I hate it!
🫂 take your time mort
If you need to take rime off thats alright take care of yourself the best you can🫶 Your mental and physical heath is the most important thing at hand. So make sure you do what's best for you at this time. I don't plan on stopping supporting you. Hopefully things start turning around soon but for right now you take care of yourself and your family 🩷

Content can wait - prioritizing what you need in order to take care of yourself right now mentally and physically is most important. Sorry to hear it’s been tough recently - hope you feel better soon and that things improve. Your community is here for you and will continue to support you, especially right now. Sending you love and positive energy.
Wishing you compassion from yourself and others while you get through this time, thank you for keeping us updated and please know that we’re rooting for you!
I can only reiterate what everyone else has said. You look after you, we aren't going anywhere xxx
Hey take care of yourself first. Part of the reason we ask what's going on is to check on ya. We can only hope things get better for you. And if that means we don't get any tasty content of you going crazy over cool stuff. Hey that's fine. Sides gives me time to catch up on other content.
Take your time Mortius! 🫶🏻I’ve honestly just been worried about you, so if you need a longer break I totally get it! :) I’ll be sticking around no matter what, so please don’t feel bad for putting your mental and physical health first! Take your time, enjoy some tv and stuff outside having to react and come back when you’re ready! 💕🫶🏻💕🫶🏻💕

Take it easy. We appreciate that you work so hard for us. If you need time, then you need time. Thanks for the update! Best regards.

Sending you tons of hugs. It’s hard being humans sometimes, it really sucks, but it’s our duty to take care of ourselves, we owe it to our bodies and our minds. Take care Mortius, we will be here.
Always put yourself first Mortius! Your mental and physical wellbeing is the most important thing and you should do whats best for you, even if that means no content for a long time or even ever. We still love and support you and I hope things start moving in a good direction for you 💜
As always, take care of yourself first, Mortius. The funny internet man dance can wait. I don't plan to stop my support just because you're between a rock and a hard place at the moment. This is probably when you need it most! Take care 💙
Here's hoping things start looking up. Take the time for yourself and your family. 💙💙🫂🫂
Take as much time as you need! I hope everything works out.
Oh hey I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time, take the time you need you deserve the break
It’s ok! You come first
