"I just need to punch myself in the butt." That has to be the best way to say that you need to push yourself I've ever heard.

[@xphoenix1234x]

I'm using that from now on. Sounds so much better than "I need to push myself"

[@LizThatsMe1]

Swords and Stitches is probably one of my favourite things ever. I honestly think it needs more views,i honestly didnt think it was doing to badly. but it'd be nice to have a teaser video or something to know what kinda fandom your doing that week and release the teaser the week before? like get everyone hyped about it i like that its you and aaron, i think that bringing in a guest would complicate things a little more you'd have to know what their boundaries are or what kinda thing they'd like to do. unless its a CraftTuber like idk Thread Banger or something then they'd be all in. and you'll have a laugh and if its putting a hole in your pocket then id say sell/auction some of the things you made (if your buying bulk in supplies make a tonne of them) that way you can put a little bit back in your pocket. i really hope you dont stop doing it.

[@Lucy-io7pt]

You could downsize Swords and Stitches so it's just in like your living room if need be. I also agree with HuddleWaddle, it needs a set time like every 2 weeks or once every month on a set day, you could record 2 episodes in the same day and save the other to save time if you need to. I really love Swords and Stitches like so much! I think you should do I tried too, but not together. If you are spending lots on buying materials for making the things you make you could sell the product off to us viewers at a bit of a higher price than you bought it all for. These ideas all combined mean you get to keep the show, give people a reason to be excited and a time to be excited for and you get a bit bigger of a profit for your hard work. I'd love to buy some of the things on Swords and Stitches. Yes, I could make them myself by following the process shown in your videos, but it is nice to have something someone you admire has made. It's a good way to get the most out of your efforts :) whatever you do good luck!

[@PurpleKangaroo4]

I love the friendzone skits because they remind me of the old TGS skits and shorts.

[@candeehoover]

Funny, I didn't find your discussion about money boring at all. Reminds me that I need to do some financial planning! As for Swords and Stitches - I reallllly love how you've been uploading your streams where you do crafts. I'm in a different time zone, so I often miss the actual streams, but one thing I love to do is listen to coffeh, etc, and crochet! I've done it several times to the uploaded craft streams as well.

[@ivulpixs]

Ooooh combining S&S with "I Tried"s seems really interesting! I do like the format of S&S currently, but I would definitely be for seeing it transform into something new especially if it would get it a bigger viewership which it definitely deserves. I like the smaller projects during craft streams though, they're entertaining and relaxing and I actually always end up learning how to do something which I can't say for a lot of DIY types of things.

[@CharlesStacyII]

I love tuning in for the little slivers of your life you share. My only problem with Swords & Stitches is I never missed an episode when it was 20 minutes in your living room but when you switched to an hour or two I just didn't have the bandwidth to watch anymore.

[@briancrocker3377]

Don't feel bad about a Patreon. The point of it is to get funding for something directly from people that want it, when it's something the mainstream usual sources of revenue won't/can't properly fund. Niche shows don't do as well ad-wise. I think adjusting your expectations of S&S to a more reasonable size (mostly small/mid-range projects with an occasional large project for shits and giggles that maybe then you get a guest on for to attract higher views), crowdfunding it, and then making it "seasonal" as in - you have a season run of S&S, so you have a definite start and end date of its run, giving you a) a goal, b) free time to stretch out material/plan/idea gathering and just refresh enthusiasm which prevents burn out and skipping a show here and there, which leads to show demise and c) a schedule for the fans.

[@redglasses13]

I was totally not bored by your financial talk! I actually learned a lot! As a twenty year-old who has NO idea about finances (as a living at home student), I feel like I'm gonna start following some stuff your friend said, especially if I can save money. ^^ So thanks!

[@Bunniesan]

I was thinking S&S might not have been doing too well. I absolutely love the show and I think the move towards something that's easier to do was a good one. I guess my only suggestion besides the special guest idea would be to go on places like tumblr or pinterest and see if there are any trends going on at them time. If there's particular things that just pop up like crazy, that could mean there's also a lot of people potentially looking up how-to videos. I really hope this helps and I hope you figure out how to keep S&S around. It's super fun :)

[@ChlosterSays]

I think it might be a good idea to combine S&S and I Tried, cause it will bring more diversity to the show and maybe that would bring up the views? But it also might not be doing well cause it's not really consistent anymore. When you brought it back, you had a set schedule and we all knew when to look forward to it. But now, that schedule isn't there anymore. I would also like to remind you that if you are still enjoying S&S, to keep doing it, BUT it doesn't have to be a huge production. You don't have to rent out the studio for *every* project. You've shown us with your craft streams that you're able to do majority of the projects from your home. I would suggest only renting the studio for those big projects like the wood-burning one. I don't know... I'm just trying to throw out some insight that makes sense, lol

[@doLawN]

I agree with everything HuddleWaddle said. You may be putting money into it now, but it can really turn into something huge. Just takes time. One of the first episodes I've ever watched of any of your shows (besides seeing you on Huskys shows) was the S&S episode doing the Skyrim coasters. I took that idea and have currently turned it into a $70k business on ebay (by the end of this month, I should clear $80k in sales). You motivated me to do something on my spare time besides play video games all night. I work on my business 2hrs a day and clear more money than most people do in their entire day job (including myself!). So again, thank you and please don't stop Swords and Stitches.

[@Wolfman6999]

My main issue with S&S is that it's a huge commitment to watch, for not much pay-off (at least, that's my feeling). I really liked it's original incarnation, where it's a list of things you need, here are the steps, here is the final product, all made into a 5-8 minute video. It had a Nerdy Nummies feel, where it's fun and concise, while still being informative.

[@AllieRX]

It's either Erin or Holly.

[@nudl3Zz]

that's what I thought^^ I'm going for Holly because she is older but it sound like Erin

[@chocobabes]

might be angi's too...

[@ColtGColtG]

My non money is on Holly.

[@xphoenix1234x]

Colt Gustafson My money is on Erin. 20 imaginary dollars.

[@Videogamehackmaster]

.......EVERYWHERE

[@huddlewaddle]

I think Swords and Stitches is a good show with a ton of potential, but it's not very consistent. People need to know when to expect it, and if you make it more often it could grow more quickly. You spend a lot of money on production costs, too, between rent, materials and sending it out to edit. I feel like if you made a lot of cheaper, consistent ones in order to grow the fan base of it, and then you'd be able to do the show of your dreams someday. You're the only one doing this so the market is all yours, but it takes time to build it.

[@jerricho1325]

I agree with this comment.

[@HelenaBeckert]

I think that's a good start. While the sword and stiches stuff is awesome (and it is) a lot of it is outside of what most of us can manage at home. I would start off with lots of smaller (and cheaper for Dodger) projects. Things that are a little more accessible. God knows I want a monster hunter table, but from a small apartment that's a little out of league :)

[@Moola868]

I'm inclined to disagree, they need to have an interesting idea in order to make an episode, otherwise there will be a lot of episodes that are just some random thing thrown together just so they can get an episode out.

[@huddlewaddle]

Yeah! I would love to have a super cool table, but something actually found manageable was the shrinky dink jewelry and stuff. Papercrafting could be good, too, or stuff like the window stickers were a good idea.

[@huddlewaddle]

Moola I can see your point. Seeing Dodger doing EXTREME CRAFTING would be cool, because it would be exciting to see her build a desk or a plane or whatever, but it's probably way more expensive and has to be edited more since they're longer projects. I don't think small projects are less interesting either if they have a lot of heart put into them, especially if I feel like I can do it myself. MAYBE ONE DAY?

[@pumpitupkev]

You had me like "GWAAAHHH?!?!?" at the first min of this video.

[@JohnNolanBruce]

I really like Swords and Stitches. I'm sure you can find a way to make the episodes cost effective. As a stage hand I love how much detail you go into about what makes the project work. The comment section seems to be full of good ideas and I'm sure you'll find the ones that will work for you and come up with new ways of making the show even better. I know I don't actually have a suggestion of my own I just wanted to let you know you do indeed have fans of that show even though I'm new to your channel.

[@salc.4968]

when dodger says "I AM PREGANT, JK" that literally made me fall over. so... unexpected.

[@Rodhakesangare]

Please continue with S&S, I love it so much and look forward to it.

[@CableLoganSummers]

Thank you Dodger! Miss you the last couple of days! Thanks for the extra long Coffeh Time! I love to start my day with it! :) Good luck with your finances! I am sure you will make the right decisions! :) I just wish I could figure out my financial future! First thing need a new job but that is easier said than done. Never mind will keep watching as long as you keep making the videos! Take care and have an amazing day! :)

[@StarSeekingGuitar]

I love Swords and Stiches the MOST out of your shows I think!! (of course other than Sherlock!)

[@RubberWilbur]

My advice Dodger is to downsize. Move out of LA back to Oregan or an area that is more small business friendly than California. 90 percent of what you do I think can be done out of LA. Your rent will be cut but 2/3rds, your state taxes will be cut by half or if not all depending on your state. You don't have anything to worry about when it comes to money and your future. Your personality and talent will create anything and everything that you want. I just hate to see you stressed like this. Life is too short.

[@SynchronisationFailed]

She needs to stay in LA to do Polaris-based things. That's her job.

[@xphoenix1234x]

Problem is her job lives in LA and most of it won't move with her.

[@VietyV]

almost all polaris members moved to LA to work, the only reason TB and the Yogscast live where they do is because almost all of their content is independently done and they can easily support themselves even without polaris. If dodger moved out of LA she wouldn't be able to do daily byte or friendzone anymore.

[@familydude-lq7ec]

In terms of life opportunities, you're right. But she's already well established in LA with Polaris and what not.

[@esaedvik]

RubberWilbur Stressed? She was just planning ahead like a smart person does.

[@Finaljustice101]

haven't seen any of your videos in a long time. glad you still do coffee time! that blonde hair though...........

[@SerratedWings]

I'm not sure why i watch these videos :S, it's soothing to just hear about somebody elses life from my own.

[@Acetyleni]

Regarding S&S...I mean I still watch them every time an episode comes out, whether or not I go and try it myself afterwards. So maybe the approach is not necessarily that the projects need to be easier for us viewers to make (because the views don't depend on that), but that the projects need to be easier for YOU, Dooger, to come up with. And that involves the whole production & editing process. I really enjoy how the videos are put together, but I would be fine with a simpler layout as well. As other people in the comments have mentioned, maybe you could just take a step back to a simpler production and this way have new S&S videos out more frequently. I'm sure everybody would be fine with that. (But don't get me wrong in regards of the "difficulty level", I think we all can agree that stuff like the MH table are cool, but at some point we do want to be able to try what you show us ourselves and therefore the projects should be, you know, accessible as well. ;) )

[@gamer_DJM]

Awww, Swords & Stitches is the best, and its sad to hear it isn't performing well for you D: Wherever you decide to take it, I'll still be watching, just do what you've got to do Dooger.

[@CiraSendas]

For Sword & Stitches, i think it is not a bad idea to to include the small crafting projects within the "I tried", and you'll still be teaching us by teaching yourself. However as you love crafting big projects and as it is really fun to watch you do it you could keep the sword & stitches as a seasonal thing (like once or twice a year when your budget allows for it), maybe with a guest as an exceptional treat for your viewers. Crafting youtube channels are very different from entertainement channels and it is hard to mix the 2 but i'm sure you'll find a solution.

[@DecemberMagpie]

Oh my gosh. The teaching yourself with cooking and crafts I would be so much in love with. Since I've recently quit my crappy job and now am a full time housewife. I am always looking for new recipes. Since I to love to cook. I also want to be more crafty. However I tend to miss a lot of your live streams. I hope it would also be something you upload onto KZbin.

[@DecemberMagpie]

Plus You shouldn't have to spend money that you can't afford to just to entertain us. I understand that Swords & Stitches was something you loved to do. Perhaps you could just add Swords & Stitches into you 5 year financial plan. Just re-visit the idea when you have more income. I'm sure we would all understand.

[@APUGuru]

I think you should do the Patreon for Swords and Stitches. It's a niche show, yes, but there's an audience for it and production values for it are higher so the Patreon would make sense. Plus the money from the Patreon could potentially lead to some larger projects. I think you should at least consider it more, or have a community vote on it.

[@htl2001]

Funding niche shows that otherwise can't sustain themselves is one of the purposes of patreon, I thought. Ad money isn't always the best

[@ThatLexPlays]

I agree. Patreon would work for that.

[@ivenstorm]

My father always told me. Take a percentage out of each paycheck and put it aside as an emergency fund. For me, its 25 percent of every paycheck. It isn't much considering my current job, but it still helps with paying for car payments and the like. Shop around before buying stuff. Instead of going to a grocery store to buy canned goods or bread, head to a dollar store/bargain store, they usually sell it for much cheaper

[@redheadsg1]

"I want a house in 2 years" xD U funny xD

[@thancrus]

Have you ever considered slipping between the bigger and smaller swords and stitches. Kinda like combining the large format you use now and the smaller one you use to have? That way if you wanted to do something simple you could do something like perler bead art or loom knitting and talk with a friend that way it theoretically be "Swords , Stitches and coffee With" kinda thing. When the creative need arises that you want to do a bit project you can still do those to. Also the I tried could be done with friends as well

[@Stones223]

I'm so proud of you Dodger, David is awesome and I would like one lol I'm in the same kind space as you, the whole trying to figure out my money stuff. Also on the whole Sword and Stitches/ I tried videos, I think it would be cool and probably less expensive if they were smooshed together. I actually Subbed to your twitch because of the Crafty Stream you had a while back. So keep up the awesomeness and thanks for all the videos!

[@Lucy.ward.savage]

I always loved S&S! Even way back when you started, but I think you need to do what you think is best. Like what's the point of being in debt over a KZbin segment, that seems like unnecessary stress. I think combining S&S with I Tried is a great idea, plus you still have the craft streams!

[@thepudgyninja]

You should consider setting up a third channel for Swords & Stitches, I Tried and related content. Pressheart is gaming, dexbonus is vlogging and then whatever the new channel would be for DIY and crafts. Obviously, there's crossover audience between all of these, but honestly, I think that a lot of people who might be interested in watching a Dark Souls lets play aren't the same people who are interested in learning how to make earrings. They need to be promoted and marketed differently to different kinds of people. And the new channel needs a schedule, just like your other channels have. I know when I'm going to get the next let's play or coffeh, but honestly, I have no idea when I'm going to see another craft project.

[@CardboardMoose]

I was sort of half-listening and I heard "I'm pregnant" and nearly had a heart attack.

[@CardboardMoose]

Not in a bad way! Just that it would be really big news, is all.

[@xphoenix1234x]

[@kerbecks]

Dodger thank you for mentioning the alerts thing. It was at like 3:30 in the morning and I legit couldn't go to sleep and had class and practice and it was so horrible. It was so ugh.

[@TheNZJester]

Excel is so easy to use. I made a Lotto ticket checker to check my numbers as I use the same numbers every week. I just enter the 6 numbers and the bonus and it tells me if a line has a win. I hope we might get to see Unicort on Friendzone or another Unicort and Dox video.

[@anoxthefighter7933]

Dodger sometimes it's ok to let go of something even if you like it very much any way I'm sure you'll get your solution because your a smart girl and you always seemed to take things with a smile hope you'll be happy whatever way you go

[@reizendefee549]

So has the mother-to-be announced it yet? I'm dying to know. If it's not someone I know of at least I can feel excited for Auntie Dodger.

[@pixelmuchoyaydam2873]

Swords and Stitches is such a professional show it would be a shame to see it go, but if your loosing that much money on it that surely its a no brainer? The craft streams that you do are really good because there so relaxed, I mainly come for the music, but hey. :D Mixing it into a different show is a really good idea

[@KeijiTatsuya]

I knew Swords and Stitches was a thing, I watched your projects early on and was thinking about getting into some, ( I believe the last one I watched was the Skyrim Coasters or the Zerg Wine Glasses (I think that was a thing) anyway, I have been wondering about the progress of the show, not knowing if it had continued or not, I mean hear you say that you were working on projects and such but I thought it was a Twitch deal or something. I've only ever seen the Zerg Wine glass episode pop up in my feed so I thought it was put on hold... Just goes to show I didn't know where to look. I just found it on you PressHeartToContinue page... man I'm so sad I didn't see it sooner.

[@Mandi_mayhemm]

About swords and stitches.. i personally have loved both incarnations of the show. I liked it when it was just you in your living room doing small affordable easy to do stuff and i have loved seeing you do the bigger more intense more expensive projects as well. so how about something in between. Maybe do the smaller crafts more frequently.. the ones that require less expensive, more easily attainable supplies.. the ones that more viewers could actually attempt because it's more accessible to try it out. Then limit yourself to just a few of the more expensive and bigger projects.. like maybe 2 or 3 a year or something that you can break down into multiple episodes. And a perfect way to incorporate the I Tried aspect of it would be maybe to set up a schedule and trade off. like say you wanted some sort of S&S content up once every two weeks. you could do a normal craft one week.. then the next scheduled content could be an i tried. or two normal episodes for every i tried... with the bigger projects taking place of the smaller ones when they come up. I've seen this trade off schedule work for other people and i think it's a good solution for your issue too.. that way you don't have to have so many clean put together craft projects done so often to keep to the schedule.. because i tried is more of lets see where this goes kind of thing you don't have to worry about having a polished product at the end so it less stressful.

[@bedouinangel]

Lucky! Can't stay an hour without the AC on here though

[@bengrace8808]

SAM'S PREGNANT confirmed

[@SuperLeumas64]

For Swords and Stitches, I enjoyed some of the more inexpensive ones, like the Skyrim coasters for example. If you could find a way to have the show just be a series of projects that are inexpensive to make, I think that it would also help you a lot. Also, guests would be nice occasionally, and I agree that they would probably also boost the views of the videos.

[@sdmarlow3926]

W2TF is the show that has seemed all over the place, and it's something cool or something I can skip (not a big deal). S&S is mostly a miss for me because "crafting" is further from the "gaming world" stuff I tend to follow. But then, my reason for following you has been more about "quirky confidence" and... the human side of gaming? This, News, and W2TF make a 3-legged stool. Anime, gameplay, and S&S are basically one leg each of 3 different stools. I think what might work best is a kind of rocking chair, with gameplay as one side, and combine anime with S&S into something that compliments.. something that works with the same audience. Personally, I think "the voices" you give characters is a key aspect, so perhaps anime puppet shows? That's a thing, right? Hmm, take to the next level, you could create your own series, sort of like South Park, but for Manga.

[@brumey244]

Eat more garlic. It has legit health benefits and tastes fucking amazing! I've taken to rubbing raw garlic on my toast before adding tomato paste, herbs and cheese, grill that fool and bam! Certainly opens the airwaves. Though it will make you smell a bit.

[@greenghost2008]

Playing my archer listening to this being like,"I got my Dexbonus."

[@StubbornProgrammer]

I'd be sad to see Swords and Stitches go away, but it needs to be bringing you a profit. I mean, if you want to do the whole house + family thing, there will LITERALLY never be enough money. Given the success I've seen other content produces have with Patreon, I think you should consider it as a strategic option for supporting a family. I guarantee that any guilt you have about how much money people are willing to throw at you will disappear when it's not really your money, but money for Dodger 2.0's future.

[@TheNotEverything]

The s&s with the desk was great. It might just be that it has to continue at the same level of craftliness(?) for a while. Having a few different types of things and then switching to mostly craft streams that could have been a s&s instead I don't feel helped much? The point I think I'm trying to make is that don't most shows work when they're at a set time each week? maybe go a few months like that, before saying if it's working or not? Level of craftiness = production/cost kind of. Like the desk was great but you didn't want to do too many big things because some people can't spend too much time/money on craft stuff, so it was a bit out of reach for them. Then again, didn't some people make their own versions of the desk, which looked really cool? If it's going to be a youtube thing maybe treat it like a mini TV show and have it like fortnightly or something. I think that would be good (to be spoken in a voice like someone who isn't that sure, cause they aren't an expert on youtube stuff). Or is it just going to be a stream type thing now? then you may as well just keep doing the things that you've been doing on twitch and that's not a bad thing either. I don't see many of your streams cause they're during the day (when I'm working) for Aussies. So edits of them going on youtube are good. A constant pace of output of something for a few months would be better before saying it isn't working. Maybe it needs its own channel? a crafty channel put everything on it, and let it breath for a few months and maybe it'll become something better. It'll be easier to judge then. I hate to bring this up, I'm only saying it cause it's an example of what I think could be done with s&s as well, but... nerdy nummies: about 4 times a month, it's like a TV show, a constant level of cookingness(?) (I don't know I haven't seen it for a bit, but it started out like that). (feel free to throw things at me because of my suggestions) Either way, remember that it is your choice. Sometimes other peoples ideas just muddy up the water and make it more confusing. You should just do what feels best to you.

[@kellingc]

Are you going to go blue? Because you are rockin' the blonde thing. But blue looks nice on your, too (remembering a while back)

I love swords and stitches, but it does look expensive to make. Maybe just have craft streams be called swords and stitches? Cut cost and up interactivity? Good luck with whatever is decided.

[@alfie.thebassist]

Before I clicked the video I read "thinking of children" then the topic was about having children and it just made me laugh because after I realized that wasn't the topic, but it actually was If dodger has a baby I think he/she would be adorable!

[@Titoichi1986]

About the Swords & Stitches situation : I love that show but if you think you're losing money with it just let it go, I mean just put it aside for a while until you're sure your financials are sure for that show to come back You didn't talk about the fancy dinner with the garlic situation =( I know it's not simple but keep improving the thing that gave you more money and that's it

[@SpoonfulOfWaffles]

Y'all saying that who's pregnant is either Erin, Holly or Angi. And completely forgot about Jeannie! Also i totally agree with had been said. If Swords & Stitches were more consistent people would show more attention to it. And the idea of mixing "I tried" with S&S is actually a good one. "I tried cooking an egg in a homemade solar panel". I would watch that! =D

Not to mention the big announcement at the start of this year that Dodger has a boyfriend.

[@mrbravo96rl]

S&S is a cool show though, I'm not a crafts person myself, but the production value in that is really cool, might be the actual reason I watch it.

I personally love Swords and Stitches just the way it is. Sad to think that it's not doing well and might go away.

[@MaxDSquires]

I don't think that needing a patreon means there's something wrong with the show, just that the premium for it will be higher. It's content that cannot be covered by the ad revenue, and that's ok. There are many things you could do on the channel that aren't cost effective because of the limiting factor of the ad revenue. Patreon just allows things to survive based on community demand rather than purely ad revenue.

[@SoShiBias]

Looking at S&S in the current situation, it is really a hard to run show. Takes a lot of time, need a lot of ideas, I guess Dodger have to pay a lot for the craft space too? Production quality is actually pretty good (means money too). Oh man.

Swords & Stitches needs to be scheduled. The only reason I found your channel were those videos. Please do not stop making it just schedule it so people can expect it and they don't miss it. Do the same with the S&S streams, release a schedule a week in advance and talk about it in your other videos like "Stay tuned this day and time for a S&S stream on my twitch channel!". Promote the living shit out of it, because it's one of the best,if not the best, nerdy DIY shows on youtube.

aww Dodger, you got dis. One day you will own that 4 bedroom house and the future of S&S will be figured out. Sucks that S&S isn't doing too well though, I really like that show. If it does end it shall spiritually live on in craft streams!! since the two are quite similar. Oh dude, I get cat hair ALL OVER my carpet and sometimes is a pain in the butt to get off the carpet. I have a black/light brown cat and a light brown/white cat and they both shed so bad. Yeah, you're right. No one's gonna believe you when you are actually pregnant. It's totally gonna be the boy who cried wolf all over again.

I fundamently disagree with the patrion comment, patrion is DESIGNED for shows that can't make it on viewership alone, but have people willing to pay to see it. So a show that is of interest to too little people, as might be S&S cause of production costs, can be made. Although a regular update scheme of even small things with the occasional bigger project, also repeat projects aren't bad, see how many cupcake/cake recipes Rosanna does on her nerdy nummies.

As much as I love Sword and Stitches, I think the streams is the best way to go. Or just home done like before.

[@RenegadeJuicebox]

You should make Swords and Stitches a DIY knick knack type show. Cheap materials/ household items made into geek-culture memorabilia. That way it's more approachable to you and the audience.

Wants to save money...5 minutes later, hires a cleaner. Seems like a great way to save money...

In my opinion, (btw im sorta new here so I'm basing it off my own views towards it as a person who doesn't know anything) The thing about swords and stitches is that it seems to be like a small segment in your channel where it's put there as a hobby or something. And from what I've seen from a few of the videos, it also needs a lot of different materials and expensive equipment that most of us don't or wont ever use after the craft. (sorry if anything there is incorrect or I dont know about).

$10 on Erin is pregnant.

One of your headlights is out? Why don't you get more headlight fluid? =P

[@tiredhoneybadger1916]

I think changing up swords and stitches is a good idea. If it's better for you economically and I still have the chance to learn something new from it, I would definitly support the change ^_^

[@polomonkey27]

I really love swordsandstitches but I understand that it's financially draining. Maybe look into selling certain things you make on etsy or something, if they're not something you use a lot. I hope you find a way to keep it going, even if that means combining it with I tried.

[@Weirdosity]

it's confirmed Crendor is pregos because meatballs

[@MakiMegumi]

Is it Happily Erin?

[@Stewbedale]

*gasp* Is it Erin?!

[@thanksmoo]

given the cost that comes with making S&S, i don't think it's unreasonable to go the patreon route for it, especially if you still want to rent the studio / do big projects.

[@707zacbuster]

Happileeerin is married?! Didn't know that

[@ambidextrousworm]

I missed this, where are they going? Somewhere for the holidays I assume...

[@awesomeraingirl]

To the UK to visit Sams family for Christmas

[@slade81]

Sword and stitches, I really enjoyed the monster hunter table series and I don't think there anything wrong with crowed funding big projects.

[@TheGoldenMiner]

ER MAH GERD

[@ArgoVaughn]

Its most likely Erin. She's been in the stages of planning for a family for like the past 6 months or so. But who knows what Erin's time table is.

[@TheCutiBear]

I'm guessing that maker studios threatened to fire dodger. Because, before the move she was saying that the content would come whenever she had the time or the resources to do said content. Maker studios puts alot of preasure on their partners, and don't have a really good reputation atm

[@TheSnorlax7]

I think that Dodger is pregnant.... She's talking about FINANCE!! (Red Flag) Congrats! ;)

[@TheSnorlax7]

lol! XD

[@nihlify]

That's a sign you have reached the ripe ago of 25+ years. (I have no idea how old Dodger but still).

[@pipsqueek89]

watson's pregnant?

[@hawkmoe2789]

what is this "swords & stiches" maybe the "problem" with it is that it is under promoted...I didnt know about it... where is it? what is it?
