Hungary traby podcast would like to
start by acknowledging sooner con get
ready for the next chapter in Oklahoma's
longest running fan run pop culture
convention sooner con will be returning
in 2024 June 21st through 23rd get ready
for a weekend of Cosplay fun and
excitement vendors gaming and more you
can go to soonercon dcom for more
information on tap today I have Rachel
Alexandra better known to her followers
as I love Kim Poss a lot how you doing
hi how are you I'm I'm doing okay I'm
just um you know relaxing from um kind
of uh being a boss a girl boss is a
little bit hard sometimes there's a lot
of steps but you know it's the the end
of the day is always nice because I can
just chill and read my um read books or
whatever the case be catch up on
commissions or whatever so so what are
you girl bossing right now um so I don't
I I have no idea like I know like uh for
people who um are not familiar we talk
talked a little bit at this Con that we
just did uh like a Fan Expo Chicago so I
know this is generally a Star Trek
podcast but that is all of my knowledge
base so um you know hi hi trackies I
guess I don't know what they're called
anyway um but anyway um I I run my own
production team it's nonprofit so that
can be tricky just from a motivation
slash you know getting to the core of
why people want to volunteer kind of
thing so um you know it it it's helpful
for me because it weeds out a lot of the
toxic mindsets as far as you know why
people want to volunteer and I'm a girl
on the internet so that's even a whole
other like can of worms but um so that
and then you know I'm right now the
because we're a little bit behind with
content um I've been mostly working on
my uh my fan server on Discord so we do
we now have activities every night and
then we have multiple activities on the
weekend including movies so uh all for
free so uh just as a way for people that
are interested in the content in one way
or the other can meet other people and
maybe go to cons online and kind of
hopefully make some friends that aren't
just you know consuming the content
essentially so that's kind of my main
goal with that and um that's been
generally it I have um I got um
contracted for my first um uh comic book
SL illustration job so that's fun cool
um and then which I don't know if I'm
allowed to talk about that any more than
that but uh it's that's that's that's my
first professional work as an artist so
that's exciting um that's not just
commissions and then I have another um I
have some commission or one commission
I'm working on and that's my life right
now up up to this moment of this
recording
so well I mean as far as this audience
of this show goes just in the last
several episodes we had a writer from
Spider-Man a look at the writer strike
from the perspective of some of the
people involved in one of those shows
won't name the exact show show and a
person who had published a book on dad
jokes so you're very much in Good
Company here okay yeah I'm I'm also
happy to talk about the writer strike as
someone who's definitely not in the
industry um thank God because it's I
never thought I'd say thank God because
that's my main goal is to break into the
industry and uh be a showrunner but like
it's not really a good time for that
right now so I'm just kind of vibing and
waiting for whatever happens to happen
cuz I got no no sakes in that game right
now so mhm well you and I might be kind
of in the same boat there in that we're
not technically in any of the guilds
however some of the things we're doing
rely on people who are in that Guild
being bit more free than they are right
now so we're sitting and waiting correct
uhhuh I mean there are things I could be
doing right now that I am not and I
really don't want to say more than
that so but that's unfortunate but I
think it it's for a good I mean we need
to have these discussions had oh yeah
they should have been had a long time
ago I definitely am for the strikes just
to put it out there I you know
especially with AI as an artist and like
I I wear a lot of hats but for the
people playing at home um I'm a YouTuber
um I'm a I guess I'm a my own
personality on the YouTube channel um I
kind of am labeled as a comedian like my
my um videos are art slash like
character analysis or movie analysis and
then we make our own animations and then
I draw and animate on the side um for on
for my own stuff so I do a lot so um
yeah from an artist perspective I
understand especially with the rise of
AI from a artist SL voice actor
perspective like that's the art should
belong to the humans at the end of the
day and I just don't think without
getting too much into it um the the high
up Executives really understand that you
know the industry in general has always
been very um you know I don't even how
know how to like approach this to a
general person but the general gist is
like like you take what you get and that
isn't really healthy um at the end of
the day and I'm glad we're having these
um these conversations sother rather
than later um also at the end of the day
so I'm glad you brought that up uh
because I'm looking through your YouTube
channel right here on my screen here and
I love what you do I I really do and
here here's the thing that just strikes
me is that I'm looking at this and you
have a mishmash of like My Little Pony
and Disney and your commentary and
somebody who doesn't know their ass from
a hole in the ground could easily look
at this and say well this is the kind of
thing AI could do beautifully you don't
need a human for this and you're exactly
the reason you do need a human for this
your
channel your channel is a great
statement to how creative you can get
when you just start playing with stuff
yeah as well as um just general
collaboration like I wouldn't be able to
reach the Feats on the channel without
you know the collaboration of wonderful
other people that are um talented and me
in other different ways um at the end of
day I'm a writer and a voice artist for
the channel and then director and stuff
like that I'll occasionally do some
storyboards or something if I want to
visually explain what's going on like
the like I let people have creative
control but at the end of the day it's
it's usually my call one way or the
other but having an animation background
and just watching a lot of cartoons
before I got started getting more
comfortable with digital art um has been
very helpful um with the the move to
YouTube and the you know the move to
YouTube was never really um something I
thought of when I was younger I always
wanted to write the show or do the show
that I have in my head for like since
forever but you know it's a good it's a
fun said way and it's good that you know
I'm in like-minded company as far as you
know people that either grew up with My
Little Pony um I've been doing this for
10 years so at this point people come up
to me and they were like oh yeah I
watched you when I was a child and I'm
like how old are you now and they say
I'm like 17 and I'm just like you're
still a child so you know I was just
freshman year of college I started and I
just kind of never sto stt even though
there's been high high and low points
essentially but yeah
mhm and so you can see that this came
from a strong strong love of animation
and
cartoons yeah I I try um it's mostly we
we focus more on like Disney in general
cartoons right now um for those who are
unfamiliar with the um My Little Pony
friendship is Magic and the Brony scene
um the show um this the show ended in
2019 they're on the Next Generation
which I don't really keep up with
anymore so I will occasionally talk
about My Little Pony on my podcast or
make a shay Pony video every once in a
while but for the most part uh we are
making content based on other things so
I try not to isolate people that came
for that but at the end of the day you
know um the fandom if that's what you
want to call yeah the fandom um kind of
has dwindled down a little bit which is
fine and I'm happy to go to ponycon and
all that stuff happy to still like I'm
not embarrassed about it but you know
that's just not where the where my focus
is right now so and see that's an
example of something I've mentioned a
couple of times for people who are into
some of the bigger sci-fi franchises for
example where they're having new content
constantly come out and people will say
well I that's just not my thing and I
get angry about it and it's I say
there's no harm in saying this latest
installment isn't something I need to
follow right now that doesn't need to be
me I can move on to something else I can
do something else I can explore
something else and that's what you're
doing right and then um again for those
who aren't familiar with my history uh
my motivation for making content um
started with the character of Discord
from My Little Pony um and he's not
really in the next the new generation
he's in the comic books um for an arc in
there but um that's really it and so I
you know there's not really like and so
I was interested in him and then all the
lore kind of came um um with that and so
there was still a brony fandom that was
starting when I started making content
but it didn't PE reach its peak around
it reached its peak in around 2015 and I
started around I started in 2013 so
that's kind of I was able to ride the
peak which was fun so nice you know it's
always nice when you can make the trends
work for you instead of against you yeah
yeah I didn't you know plan that but you
know it it worked out nicely as far as
my growth as a content creator so and
you feel very comfortable stepping into
the role of commentator and looking at
just giving your two cents on several uh
uh several projects out there like your
Disney princesses for example uh and I
think that's pretty cool oh yeah yeah I
mean like I've studied media I feel
comfortable as a writer I've been
writing for myself in my content for a
very long time there's um you know
narrative stories that I've written for
for the content which you know um I
always write you know my own material
for the most part the only thing that is
not me is sometimes edit jokes that are
eded and post by other editors that I
approve but it's it's my voice I'm just
a little bit exaggerated in the videos
essentially it's you know you know the
pony is very me I have a Kim Possible KY
Mark for the pony which um you know so
it's uh it's it's pretty pretty much a a
alternate universe version of me
essentially just a little bit
exaggerated
so I had the chance to talk to Adam West
at a con many many years ago when Family
Guy was like really hitting its peak in
my mind we could argue as to where the
peak was but same with the Simpsons
right right exactly everybody's got
their own point but this was my personal
Peak and I wanted to ask him what it was
like to basically play himself on
camera because that's what he does but
he's not really himself and this is kind
of what you're getting at is you're
playing you but a very highly focused
and very exaggerated version of
yourself um yeah I've I've never um I've
never unfortunately been able to meet
Adam West but I imagine the same kind of
thing especially Adam West was so you
know in great like embedded to popular
culture at that point mhm sorry um so
it's I'm sure he kind of it seemed to me
as an outsid looking in that he just had
fun and was vibing and you know that's
at the end of the day that's all you can
ask as long as he's comfortable with it
and has a good you know he's comfortable
with the writing team in case there's
something that he doesn't feel
comfortable with and you know all God
bless you know as long as everyone's
happy with it yeah and that that's what
it kind of came down to is that he he
was self-aware enough to be able to see
when maybe his normal self was just a
little odd and he could make it a lot
odd mhm and um he did something similar
with uh The Fairly Odd Parents he was a
Catman in there so which was a parody of
Batman and then like for a lot of the
the sorry the C the Cartoon Network
Hannah Barbara kind of things I know he
was himself and Johnny bar Bravo he was
in an episode of Kim Possible which was
a spoof on the Batman Beyond premise so
like I think he's kind of been known for
playing himself for parodies of his
Batman um persona for a while at that
point as well so sure and I mean he's
done other stuff you can reach out to
other projects he's done not especially
when you know Batman wasn't necessarily
a big property at the time when he got a
chance to kind of stretch his wings a
little bit and it was it was good to see
that too yeah his his bat
wings pun definitely intended but yeah I
I can definitely appreciate the the
creative struggles you're going through
there and and being able to to make your
own internet Persona how do you
feel I mean you've got a successful
YouTube career at this point I think we
can definitely say you're somebody who
has put in your time and done well for
yourself is that fair yeah I I
appreciate you saying I've um had the
humbleness beaten out of me by um bad
things that have happened throughout my
YouTube campaign or career but for the
most part I'm pretty happy and at the
end of the day I'm My Own Boss so even
though we don't make it profit I can
still use it to reach out to others and
go to conventions and have opportunities
professionally and you know that stuff
is like an extra nice thing to do um and
have and you know um from my
understanding a lot of the other people
in that scene are not really as active
anymore just in the online space in
general so it's nice to be the one who
or one of the ones who is still kind of
chugged along even if it's not
specifically My Little Pony content so
sure well I mean I'm looking at this and
I say you've got a a Channel with a huge
following you consistently put out stuff
you've been doing stuff for a while you
you fan seem to love I mean that to me
is what I'm calling success I'm not so
worried about seeing your books that's
between you and someone else but I mean
the fact that you got this and you built
it with your your own two hands is
really cool oh yeah I I appreciate it
again um I'll I'll credit to the
wonderful staff I've had over the years
who have helped me you know who've dealt
with me in my like hyperfocus Creative
Vision at
times so you're saying you you mentioned
uh doing a Discord server and have a lot
of events and a good community on there
what made you choose
Discord um as just a as a general um
platform it's very um user friendly and
it's something that's well known in um
the general communities I'm in but at
the end of the day it's easily
accessible it's um doesn't e up as much
bandwidth as Skype because I was on
Skype for a little bit or not for a
little bit for like half of the career
because Discord wasn't around um and you
know it's good for as far as the team
stuff International stuff um you know
because if it's on Skype then you have
to worry about again the bandwidth and
so there's technical reasons at the end
of the day but it's also very
userfriendly acceptable for people who
maybe are disabled or in some kind of um
situation like that and um you know
again so yeah all those all those points
user friendly nice AI nice may start
over user friendly um and then
technically you know um low on data and
of that nature I asked because with this
this current situation with Twitter
right now oh yeah yeah that's a hot mess
yeah people are looking for options and
I just want to bring up any options that
are out there oh right right yeah um I
guess um discord's more about like
connecting with others than like having
a following like I probably won't leave
Twitter unless I have you because I'm
going to call it Twitter I'm not going
to call it X like nobody no one is no
one is so um you know I have backup
places in case Twitter goes down and
that's but that's where I'm most active
as far as just general um you know
social media sites that aren't just my
YouTube and you know I have a Tumblr I
have a I don't really have an Instagram
that got hacked so um yeah I have like
deving art which is a place people can
Post Fan Art but I don't really use it
that often so um yeah discord's good but
it's mostly for connecting with others
it's not just for announcements and
things like that unless you already have
a community in a following that um is
pre-established is would be my general
recommendation yeah that that's a good
way to put it and for sure and you
mentioned in in a very recent video that
you were thinking it was toxic so I was
kind of curious to see what oh um as far
as that
um people can based on their read you
know the bad thing about just reading
text's tone is can be mismatched
especially for people on the Spectrum
and sometimes people will jump with
whatever interpretation of the text that
there is I mean that's always been a
problem through the out the history of
you know fiction or even non-fiction but
Twitter specifically um like you know if
I post something people if they think
I'm a bad person they'll have the worst
read about like oh she's just doing that
for selfish reasons and they will take
that that interpretation and run with it
and say how dare you
so um that's kind of where that toxicity
can come from but at the end of the day
that's up to each individual to you know
take a minute and be like okay so this
is what I'm interpreting they are saying
but at the end of the day is this also
what they are saying so um and not just
jump on their first conclusion so it can
be um you know I wouldn't recommend
anyone you know 13 or under be on
Twitter because of that reason so it
it's it can be messy sometimes for sure
for sure and that was originally why
people started pushing for the use of em
what they called emoticons back in the
early days of the internet of the web in
the mid 90s and that became emojis later
on we kind of made it a little more
graphical but the kind of set was if you
need to specify whether you're angry or
happy or sad these are ways you can
physically show this on a screen and
that it wasn't just always about being
cute it was like sometimes it's a way of
making sure that your tone is set right
right yeah that makes sense that was a
little bit before my time so but I
believe
you yeah you were just saying that some
was you feel old and yeah you're making
me feel old now it's okay though as long
as you're comfortable with it I'm I'm
very very okay cool there there's a
reason our mascot is a literal
[Laughter]
fossil very fair very fair but um yeah
uh it's Twitter but Twitter can be fun
but you know just approach with caution
would be my general um advice for people
who are still on there for whatever
reason so yeah really any place on the
internet you want to go with some with
your eyes wide open right especially and
that happens with content too like
sometimes um I will purposely F poke fun
of myself a lot throughout the content
and people won't really read that
they'll think like I've had people
assume that other that others have
written my scripts for me without any
evidence or anything based just on their
interpretation of the content as a way
to um you know dismiss me or my opinion
or you know dismiss like my critical
thinking skills or whatever and it's
just you know that stuff is um you know
can be toxic too like every YouTuber
knows that there might be a bad comment
or you suck you know but at the end of
the day that's more about the individual
than it is the content creator for the
most part
so I had a uh there have been a couple
episodes we did on people who have done
scam consoles in The Gaming Community
basically you know trying to raise
Kickstarter money for something that
never ends up getting produced M and uh
without getting too much into the the
Weeds on that I I've seen a lot of
people who would take that say well the
people trying to expose them are are bad
because you know they don't like the
scammers like well that you're not
supposed to like scammers you don't
that's that's not actually an opinion
you have to have yeah yeah um and
Kickstarter is like like Kickstarter in
go too those things are always a little
bit sketchy because at the end of the
day I keep on saying at the end of the
day but anyway anyway um if if someone's
never run a project before a successful
project then just doing a Kickstarter is
a way to basically pay for it without
the the experience to justify you making
the project so it's a great resource but
you have to have the experience in order
to make sure that your backer is feel
secure because also if they don't feel
secure or you don't have a way to keep
on updating them then um they're your
project might not be done or someone can
just run with the money and you know
that's a huge risk um to your
credibility and you know it's I wouldn't
I would never do a kick started unless
everything was pretty much said at that
point before I even launched it so and
that was something you and I talked a
lot about at Fan Expo Chicago is the
fact that so many people really get into
the idea of making something like a
YouTube channel or a fan film or an
animated short of some kind and they
grossly misund you know underestimate
whether the time the money the talent
whatever mix they're going to have how
much they have at their disposal and and
things go bad
and even that's okay I mean you can you
can can fail at something I encourage
you to fail at something just try and
fail but when there's somebody else's
money involved it's a different
situation correct correct so I always
tell people if they've never had an
experience just could to just to try to
start small and to start you know
editing with a free program and just
kind of start you know practicing
something more than writing or voice
acting because not that I'm dismissing
those things but if you can produce your
own content even very simple contact
like content like a comic dub and and
you have a like a portfolio of comic
dubs then that's something and something
is better than nothing you know as far
as video content
so and that that goes back to the
internet literacy we were talking about
before like just like you can't
necessarily trust all the information
out there you don't always know the
context of somebody's communication you
can't trust it just because something
looks professional that it is
professional correct correct because
anyone has access to the internet and
I'm glad the internet has challenged the
industry as much as it has and kind of
worked coincide with the industry
because I think it's like like making
fan content is a great creative Outlet
it's a healthy creative outlet but you
know you can't expect to make money and
you also will hope that the um the
people that own the IP are like
receptive of your fan content like I
think you know I know in general um CBS
isn't really keen on you know Star Trek
fan Productions I um I don't know if
that's shame in the last 5 years or so
but compared to Hasbro My Little Pony
stuff um Hasbro has always been you know
unless it's very black and white it
looks like it's official when it's not
then Hasbro just kind of leaves the um
the myy Pony fan content alone so which
I think is in their best interest for
sure the fan production stuff from Trek
is an evolving
situation um there was a time that the
gates were wide open and they really
didn't care and that was abused by
certain people who will not be named and
and so there are rules that need to be
followed now and within those rules you
can still pretty much do whatever you
want but the rules are very much there
and you do not want to step outside them
oh yeah for sure because um you know
Star Trek is a huge you know Money Maker
for CBS so I wouldn't I don't blame them
but it's can be tricky because at the
end of the day like My Little Pony is
content that is not for adults and then
um you know and adults are the ones who
have the money so you know kids making
myON fan content doesn't really hurt
anyone but you know I can imagine big
track Productions kind of getting messy
sometimes there's probably something to
the fact that a lot of the fan content
made for My Little Pony or any Hasbro
product is there's a good chance it's
going to be made by kids M and you don't
necessarily want to come down on kids
doing free advertising for your products
correct correct and even the the adults
like I was who made fan content you know
and now um analyzing the show that's
again still free advertising at the end
of the day you know so but for every one
of you there's probably 30 kids under 10
doing something similar who are yeah
especially outside the internet like
maybe they're doing something at school
where they're putting on a My Little
Pony theme play or something cute you
know like that stuff doesn't hurt anyone
it's just a way for people to express
their passion for the IP which I you
know I think is great and healthy and
you know it's a good way to get your
creativity going and a in your own like
a a zone that you still feel comfortable
with because you know making your own IP
is much different than playing around
with someone else's so and it's nice to
have the the the structure already there
the characters the World building
sometimes even the physical props can be
available if it's an established IP so
you have a lot of things at your
disposal you can jump start it and then
you just have to have the good story
which just the hard
part yeah and um especially too you can
find um if you do fan projects in
general um I find you can find Community
people that are also passionate about
the same thing and they are willing to
help out a little bit more or easily
compared to a um an original Ip because
they're already invested in the thing
that you're making fan content for
versus you know you have to do a pitch
and you know they might not be into it
and it's it's kind of um you know it's
it's got a g greater risk of something
happening or you know whatever so uh
yeah as far as pitching it's a lot
easier if as long as it's nonprofit like
be careful if you start monetizing your
fan projects guys it could be very
messy but there is that you know unicorn
situation where you can have a fan
project that gets legitimized by them
actually buying it that does H it's a
nonzero situation oh yeah um and that is
the best possible case I think for
everyone involved but you know the good
the I say the good thing about the
industry in general is it vets itself
because people have to you know pay to
get into the guilds
and you know you only really get that
opportunity if you've done a you've done
a presentable job being professional
another Outlet so um you know which I
think is um great because when you don't
have that you get people that come out
of the Woodworks doing fan projects that
you're not really familiar with their
background and there could be some um
toxic at best and um or toxic at worst
very very toxic people at worst that you
know like they're you know I've been in
tons of situations where people are
exposed for past Behavior thank God it's
happening in Hollywood now but um
especially in the fan community and it's
just like oh wow you know no one knew
that this person did something to
someone else and it's good that we know
that but at the end of the day oh oof
like it's not the same as the industry
where hopefully that stuff is a little
bit more you know vetted than just
people who have access to an internet
connection if that makes sense it does
make sense and you know you mentioned
that whole the t almost predatory
situation yeah I yeah I'm glad that
those people are getting pulled up to
the service for sure um I I was thinking
especially with it seems like comic
illustrators and comic artists there's a
very not direct path but a much smaller
path for them to say you know I'm really
good at drawing this superhero and I can
I'm going to get really really good at
this and occasionally one of the big
Comics can reach down to them and say
would you like a side gig making trading
card for us or hey we have a one shot
would you like to do a cover I have seen
people in my group of friends who get
that invite and it's really cool yeah
yeah and I think that's a nice way I
mean because people are so passionate
about that IP that they're doing that in
their free time anyway so it's nice that
um Industries or whatever companies will
reach out and give that person the
opportunity but at the end of the day
that's a risk and it's sometimes that's
a scary risk if people um you know
maybe don't have a good rapport working
in a um collaborative um effort or you
know environment in general so I've seen
I've seen the high pros and the high
cons both
sides any words of caution you could
offer on that front um well for for us I
guess on the team we just kind of vet
people we just kind of look at I me
corporations do this too but we look at
their we try to look at their YouTube we
try to look at their um but wherever
they're coming from their Facebook their
Twitter and just kind of see what
they're saying and notice if there's
anything that you know I really want a
girlfriend that's a huge red flag you
know why would you be advertising that
to um you know like in a way that just
like why won't girls like me you know so
like in a way that's almost kind of uh
venting and that's not really
appropriate to be putting on your social
media essentially that's like for
between you and a therapist that I hope
you have um you know so there's nothing
nothing wrong with wanting a partner to
to reiterate but you know just being
just demanding it because you don't have
one and putting that on social media is
not really appropriate especially if you
want professional work from that social
media or that kind of that that Avatar
and the bad thing about the internet is
if you get called out um you know then
you can just make a new account and a
different name and hope that no one
catches on but usually if usually the
people who do that are not very smart
and people usually catch on based on
past Behavior bir day that gets left in
there that you forget about you know or
people forget about so it's um it's
again it's not like the industry where
you have your they have people have
their full names and they just get black
blacklisted you have to kind of do a
little extra leg work sometimes if um to
notice those things which is unfortunate
but that's kind of the way of the game
sure and people forget social media is
social first it is yeah a and there's
not really a way to secure that it's by
definition something the whole planet
will get access to so really don't put
something there if you don't want it
there yeah yeah you know especially if
you're looking for professional work and
you're not just there on your own just
for fun se you
know yeah and keep in mind like you said
anything could be looked over by
somebody who's considering working with
you yeah and um I've had um voice actors
on my own podcast um called animation
communication if people want to look it
up uh communication spilled with the K
get it get it compossible anyway um so
I've had voice actors on that before for
um and they say they give experiences
about a voice actor going into a booth
and having a negative experience and
then going on Twitter saying oh man this
director I or this thing was really
annoying like casting directors will see
that you know and they'll be like NOP
you know you're done you're not you know
so like people aren't as dumb as you
know as you think sometimes so just be
careful just you know the the industry
is for good people cuz with great power
becomes or come great responsibility and
if you don't think you can wield that
power responsibly then you probably
shouldn't be in the industry period mhh
it's there's a lot of trust built into
this and I'm not even at this point I
don't even have to make the distinction
between Comics movies TV video games I
mean really they all kind of have the
same basic premise of you work with
people you've come to trust MH people
who know when to keep their mouth shut
people who know how to act in public
people who will show up on time and do
what they say they're going to do the
stuff that will get you far is the stuff
that is very very basic yeah yeah and
that's it's a collaboration at the end
of the day and if you want to be in the
industry then you need practice
collaborating and having your social
skills and it's okay if the social
skills aren't there but that doesn't
mean you don't get to not practice them
if you want to be in a industry of other
creative people that you have to work
with and have a report with cuz like you
know it's like people think I'm um dumb
all the time because I'm just a dumb
girl and they read some bad Take On Me
and they're just like oh she'll never
know about this and I'm just like I saw
you coming a mile away yo like I'm not
dumb yeah no actually you're incredibly
smart and you've got a great stage
presence um I I know this because I got
to mess around with you a little bit at
The Fan Expo there asking some
questions and there was one particular
point when I I deliberately asked a
silly question about My Little Pony and
you looked at me and said you must be
new which was just very very silly and I
liked it yeah yeah yeah and and you know
because like at this point there's a lot
of people that come to these events
where I do like you know at Fan Expo I
did a a a panel about fan projects and I
did a panel about YouTube and I did like
a fanel about art or I think I was
drawing while I was also answering
questions I was multitasking cuz hey yo
that's what I do so um there's a lot of
people that don't even know me from my
pony work my My Little Pony background
so um I have to kind of explain what a
bron is and who Discord is as a
character sure and that's fine um you
know but it's just kind of entertaining
because that was the majority of my
stage presence my online Persona like
that was my what my brand was based
around for like the majority of the time
of me making YouTube so it's just kind
of funny that I'm still around when
other people when other people are
coming that are new that don't even know
or don't haven't looked at the backlog
even yet so it's a it's a fun um
contradiction so I want to make sure
that we get a chance to talk about where
you can be found and where people can
look at your next few Adventures there
so where can people follow your
adventures on the web um so I don't have
a um I haven't had time to to to make a
website and all that stuff yet that will
be down the line um so uh the basic
thing is my YouTube is I love
Kimpossible lot um at YouTube whatever
you just put an I love compossible L on
the pink Banner it's kind of hard to
miss um you know there's plenty of
backlog there if you're new and even if
um you're not into My Little Pony
friendship is Magic then um you know
people I've been told that people still
enjoy those videos even if they're not
from that demographic based on um you
know the comedy that are that is present
in them so if you're interested or
you're open give those a chance if not
there's plenty of um videos about Kim
Possible at the show or Disney
properties we just did a video about um
like two videos about Ariel um because
jod Benson was at Fan Expo and I got to
M panel I was very happy about that um
and then Discord my Discord server is um
probably I'm most active in there as
well as um Twitter if you still use
Twitter I guess or whatever um but uh at
the end of the day my um on my YouTube
channel there's a my link tree and that
has all my stuff and then if you like
podcasts I have like I mentioned earlier
I have animation communication with a k
um and that's on YouTube as its own
separate thing as well as on um whatever
your podcast preference so um Spotify
and iTunes and you know uh whatever
there is so okay everything you just
mentioned is going to be on my website
Aaron basic.com in the show notes yep
we're going to give people a direct path
right to you do you have any plans for
cons in the very near future I have not
been booked for any cons lately but it's
kind of been on the back burner with all
of the the project delays so we're
working on convention a new convention
press um pack of Kit as well as um other
assets so um not anything right now but
um you know that stuff will probably be
announced on my social media when it
gets now so hopefully I'll get a booking
in the next like month or two depending
on who you know how it is who ends up
biting well if you get something give me
a shout maybe we'll get the same table
together yeah I I can definitely do that
all right thanks so much for being here
I would be glad to have you back anytime
okay yeah thanks for having me I had a
fun
time
