Hey, hey, hey, guys!

Hey, hey, hey, guys! 

Not really a huge update, but I had some things that I've been wanting to say recently, but keep not having the ability to really form properly. I've mentioned that recently, I had another not-so-fun time dealing with a bout of seasonal depression, and I noticed that when I did, there were also a lot of other people going through similar things within the Comfydant community. I always do my best to keep drama, my personal issues, and unrelated topics off of the channel, but sometimes they make it through anyway, and for that, I apologize.

I think it ends up as a bit of a double-edged sword in which it will shield us from some of the outside issues that we use streams to escape from, but also means that I can't talk about some of the things that I know we're all going through in the community. So allow me to state right here and now that I am so incredibly thankful to everyone in this community who goes out of their way to make other Comfydants and indeed Nijisanji EN fans feel more confident and comfortable to be here with us. Just please make sure thar you're always taking care of yourselves above all else. You can't help anyone unless you make sure to always support yourself first and foremost.

I just want to remind you above all else that no matter how you chose to interact with this community, whether you are a silent lurker, an active chatter, someone who makes fan content, someone who interacts with just our community, or someone for whom this channel is just one of many larger fandoms for you, we are all lucky to have you here. I don't say it enough, especially since I'm always scared of my words coming out wrong and being used in a way that I don't mean, but you Comfydants mean so much to me. There are plenty of things that influence my choices in life, but one of the most important is always me thinking about what is best for our community, and while I may make mistakes here and there, please know that I'm always atleast trying to look out for us while also balancing other responsibilities and concerns. 

You've all given me a reason to keep moving forward and ignited so many of my passions that I thought I'd given up on long ago. So while we leave our old home and move into a new one, I just wanted you all to know that whether this is a dream or a fantasy, it doesn't change the very real way in which it's changed my life and hopefully many of yours for the better as well. If it ever does feel like the journey has taken too much of a toll on you, then please do take a break, rest, even set off on a journey of your own and hopefully do so with happy memories of this adventure to warm you on the colder nights. Wherever we end up in the future, I'll always do my best to keep it comfortable and warm in case you decide to visit again and check in on us. To those who have stuck with us on the whole journey, I hope we can all do the same for one another as we have so far in the past. 

Thank you for everything so far, my Comfydants. I have a lot of work to do before Sunday, but I hope as we take another step forward, you'll all feel confident to call yourself Comfydants, as I always take so much solace in being able to say that I am atleast trying my best to be your shepherd. 

Also, I'm not sure if this gif will work because YouTube be bugging but I got my final draft of the opening animation today and I hope it's obvious what is being said here if it actually works and moves. If not... look forward to it on Sunday 🤭. 

Don't be led astray my Comfydants, and I'll catch you all next time. Thank you for reading me and helping to write this adventure of a lifetime.
