Aloha People, It's been a dang long while hasn't it? Diet Stage going to turn 2 Years Old Soon and is on it's way to getting 2,000 Views, So I'm happy about that, yes, the animation is choppy but I cannot stress this enough, it was my first animation & I'm happy with how it ultimately turned out.

Now in the Years since this Film has had a huge impact on my life both positively and negatively and my God, the Negatives are weird.

I never thought in my life that I would have my Faith in my Favorite Animator stress tested this much over the course of 2 Years, Diet Stage was inspired by Matt Wilson obviously, in the days I found out there are some folks out there whom aren't fans of theirs or at the very least are Bonus Stage fans but don't like their Newer Stuff, I am both a Fan of Matt's older works as well as their Newer works, so with that in mind, my God.

I popped into an Animation based Server (which I'm not gonna say the name of here but I did name drop them in Twitter abunch) and Wow, A lot of people in that server did not like Matt Wilsons newer work or they just didn't like them as person, it was so bad to the point it was obsessive how badly they didn't like them, I checked the server Catalog & All of the Chats were just them talking smack about Matt & acting like all of the flaws they had when they were Younger were still going on today and when those guys found out I was a Matt Wilson fan, I was not prepared for the amount of Gaslighting they would dump on me, Whenever a VC was open they would be extremely vague with their wording or condescend to me about Matt, It's like they were trying way too hard to get me not to like Matt & of course I wasn't having any of it but this was progressively turning into a problem the more I was in there.

It was very clear to me that they didn't like me because I was a Matt Wilson Fan, despite the multiple times where they've told me other wise or I was always met with a "No, We like them, we just don't like their Newer works" which again, I totally get but their dislike was on a whole other level, if you're going out of your way to Gaslight People, There's a problem & It was very clear I wasn't wanted.

It got to a point where they just straight up made up a Reason to Ban me from their Server (this is wear the mature tag comes in) , They booted me from the server under False Accusations of grooming, literally I posted Two memes in the general chat which was the Meme about The guy peeing on his pillow and the then recent meme at the time "The F**k you mean Nu Uh", they took those two memes I said, accused me of flirting with an underaged user and before I could say anything to correct them, they sent me a Doubtful face and Quickly banned me. That's a pretty freaking huge thing to accuse a person of doing, and it happened so fast so quickly you swear they scripted the whole damn thing, I totally get misinterpreting what someone was saying and telling them to be careful with their wording but this felt like it was On Purpose just so they'd have a reason to get rid of me. All because I like Matt Wilson, I have never been put through such a stressful time in my life, I never thought that I would have to prove my faith in an animator before on such a high level because after all that, I'm still a Bonus Stage fan, I still like Matt Wilson and I still like my Movie & no amount of Gaslighting is gonna change that, you'd think this would have left a permanent stain on my thoughts toward my own film but no, I love what I did, I worked my butt off and I will not let anyone downplay my appreciation for the Creator who made the series.

I will go to War if I have to defend my right to support them.

So how was your day XP?

We're done with the Negative Section now, on with the Positives, thanks to the movie, I've been given the opportunity to work with a bunch of fellow Animators and Artist, Specially one's from Sonic Revolution, Yeah, I had absolutely no clue there was Bonus Stage fans in a mainly Sonic based Server and they like Matt's newer stuff too & they were totally up for helping do some Fan Animations for stuff like Puzzle Hunters in the possible future, Awesome! Don't know when I'll have the time for that since my body is thoroughly still tired from working on Diet Stage, but hey, plans for the future & alot of support from folks are there for when they happen.

A professional Animators saw my Movie & gave me some humble criticism, both positive and negative which was to be expected, so I appreciated it none the less, They said the animation was crude and choppy but they loved the writing & humor & I'm so happy that all of the Voice Actors are getting the praise they deserve, Especially Mectro15, He became the fav for most people, that boy worked his butt off emotionally in the metaphorical booth & we're gonna appreciate that.

My Film Spawned a Fanfiction! Evils Mom became such a a Prominent figure for Bonus Stage fans that she made an Appearance in a Fanfiction based off of the Scrapped Backstory I gave her, Wow! Granted the fanfiction was a crossover with a Series I never heard of before but still, that's still a shocker to me, I read the whole dang script, they made up their own lore for Evils Mom and gave her abilities & a brand new name & gave her a FREAKING ISLAND! JUST WOW! 🤯

Okay, I'm going to cut off the Diet Stage/Bonus Stage related stuff here, I don't want this being just that, so here's what's been going on in my life outside of the movie.

I've worked on 2 "Reactionary" Series on YouTube where I watched The PC Gamer Show & X-Play, Reactionary in heavy quotations because they're less reaction based videos and more "Make Jokes at everything I see and hear", a reaction implies adding to a conversation & none of my jokes are ever relevant to the subject at hand, the one time I did try discussing something, my viewers quickly told me to shut up & they were totally in the right.

Basically I turned my YouTube Channel into a MST3K/ Rifftrax Style Channel for awhile, along with that I cover Playstation/Xbox and Nintendo Presentations, I'm usually always late to the party when it comes to those though but as long as people are enjoying the content that's what's important.

I've done plenty of sketch comedies, I put out a Halo style Gmod Machinima inspired by Creators like imSuck, copyright music be damned, it was worth it in the end.

Then in the middle of it all during my latest uploads, I accidentally poisoned myself, my room was filled with a ton of bugs one day and I ended up using too much bug spray and all that bad stuff that happens when you're poisoned happened to me & not fun, don't inhale bleach folks, it'll mess you up.

Sooo yeah, that's about it when it comes to what's been going on with me for the past 2 Years, a lot of trial & error but I'm here, I'm thankfully still alive & I hope I can come back here soon to give y'all some more Art & Hopefully another Animation in the proceeding future. Buh-Bye~!
