A little update :)
Hey there friends! It's been awhile since I've formally posted here. I know a lot of you follow me on twitter or are in my discord server so I worry that my posts get redundant. Anywho! Azzy and I took a step back last month to try and regroup and work on other things. It's been a hard couple months on work trying to get out all those list videos.
What we've decided is that what people really love, and what I really enjoy doing is character work. We all miss Remington. He doesn't work as good as he used to but he's still here and we can still use him somewhat. But what I think we realized is, while Remington started to fall apart, I kinda gave up on characters because it got too difficult to manage. I don't have space like I used to, but I do still have the desire and excitement that I used to. A lot of people are very surprised to find out I'm not that different in person lol.
So Azzy and I decided to find some new characters. We're bringing in puppets and dummies and all kinds of stuff to do more character work on a much bigger show. I miss the formality and the fun, so I'm gonna do my best to bring that charm into my work and do something really neat with it. Imagine Vampira meets Mr. Rogers. That's who I think I could be if I really committed to it. I'm tired of half-measures. I really wanna take this one all the way.
I've just been through a hell of a last couple years. Coming out, family issues, moving, meeting someone who abused me for months, escaping, meeting the love of my life, moving in together, covid, moving back to my home town. Just feels like everything has been in my way for years and I've just had to make due. I'm so tired of that and I'm gonna do whatever I can to assert some control in my life and make my show really cool and neat. I've been trying to do it forever, but I'm really doing it now and it's very exciting.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. But mostly I just want you to know I miss you and love you all very much for all the constant support everywhere over the course of these wild years. I look forward to showing you what I'm working on very very soon.

Much love, keep flying.
I'm a brand new viewer (like literally just started consuming your content last night) so I don't have much input here, but I have to say Vampira Rogers sounds like exactly what we need in 2020
This is totally rad news, but take your time! We'll be here for you!
This sounds amazing and I am so excited to see anything that you do, May!
I’m really glad to hear that. My favorite videos were always the deeper dives on a particular film (or franchise) with a semi-dialogue with Remington. I loved your interplay (it’s kinda sad how much I’ve missed him). I’m eager to see what you come up with character wise, but if at all possible it’d be great to see him get repaired. I don’t have a lot of disposable income these days, but I’d throw in on a fix Remington fund. Anyway, super happy you’re making this move, I’m really excited.
So excited to hear that, May!
