Silver Creator Award, Happy New Year and Farewell!

[@dexan1833]

The "farewell" scared me!!!

[@oscielbs7131]

X2 hahaha

[@idk_what_im_doing_please_]

Same here

[@CelticLibra]

Oh my goth! Me too!

[@Luke-uf3jw]

scarier then gothic homemaking

[@lulitaravenmocker2247]

Same here!

[@m.g.g.8114]

As much as I love Gothic Homemaking, I think a travel show of strange and unusual things around the world would be awesome. Especial, if it's hosted by you. 😃👍🏼. Happy New Year!

[@StoriesbyIrish]

Agreed!

[@suburbohemian]

if it's hosted by V....cus there *are* shows like that already like Myth Hunters, etc. I like that V is going to focus on some of the anthropological viewpoints.

[@kkeegan32]

I think Mr. Voltaire should be on HGTV like Rachael Ray used to be and have like 4 different shows! ♡♡♡

[@kitirena_koneko]

Voltaire: "We're only having this chat because of you viewers!" Me: "We're only here watching because your videos are so fun and interesting, so there!" -_^

[@dans3.macabre]

He is my absolute favourite goth icon. Period.

[@alyxdragonchild6645]

I would kill to see you do a gothic baking thing when autumn draws back around

[@mikayla8474]

Call it Gothic Home Baking

[@katdevonshire9367]

I'd watch the shit outta that. I'd kill to see him baking stuff.

[@LadyJaggerX3]

And collab with Christine McConnell, maybe? :D

[@mensgothfashion5700]

The fact that you’d rather do quality over quantity speaks volumes! Others would just put out content to get more out there. Your videos are funny, entertaining and extremely inspirational and informative. Thank you for all you do for us.

[@colette1952]

As much as I'm looking forward to "A light in the Shadows" please don't get rid of Gothic Homemaking I love that show.

[@coffeezombie247]

You know Aurelio, the term "homemaking" involves more than just decorating. It can also involve party planning, dinner party ideas. Not just Halloween hauls, and diys. Although your haul videos are really informative and the diys are fun to watch. It would also be fun watching you plan a gothic "holiday" dinner, or a dinner for a non traditional goth holiday for your monster fiends. Just imagine a gothic Valentine's day, or a gothic spin on the 4th of July and such so you would be able to enjoy the holiday season and still do videos. But either way I will remain a loyal fan regardless of which direction you go with your channel. I would prefer you to publish videos you are proud of rather than videos you feel pressed into doing out of some obligation or another. Even if they are sporadic coming out. Apologies for such a late reply (2 months) but I only just found this video today. Even tho I have your channel marked for all notificarions.

[@Prescilla24]

It would be so cool if you got a Netflix show!! I disagree with that entertainment lawyer! I would watch the diy, shopping, and travel all in one show or three separate shows.

[@rebeccagold7964]

I love Gothic Homemaking but I would love to see a "Halloween Homemaking" 😁🖤 I hope everyone's year was wonderful and let's have another awsome gothic/mokhov year 🖤🖤🖤

[@23Dakini]

The silver award matches your Lair's color scheme! Congrats!

[@princebloodgrave8097]

I think that it would be awesome if you and Christine McConnell did a show together. 😊😍

[@aaliyahrammstein6674]

That would be awesome! 👍😊

[@azraelseraphim188]

I would have 1000% watch Halloween Homemaking, if you decide to follow through with it. I understand your plight about missing the festive joys of Autumn (the desert doesn't have much of that) and will say to make sure to take some time for that too. If it becomes part of one of your series, then I wouldn't object to that either. I'm very excited for Alight in the Shadows to air. There are so many places around the world to recommend going to see, there's just not enough time in the day for it. Keep doing what you do, and it'll make itself work out for the best with your needs and designs.

[@FoodNerds]

YES!

[@nekobat1962]

Congratulations! I loved all of your episodes and have gotten lots of inspiration. Don't apologize for being casual!

[@aaliyahrammstein6674]

I like him being casual from time to time. It's like a casual get together.

[@nekobat1962]

@@aaliyahrammstein6674 it is!

[@katdevonshire9367]

It's comforting, tbh.

[@MrGroove1970]

Congratulations on the silver play button, V! Here’s to a great 2020! Cheers!

[@mitchellcolegrove2586]

I would just like to say that your fan base is so proud of you. Ever since I heard your music in the background of an old Black Friday video, I've been hooked to your music, your sense of creepy Dad humor, your taste in fashion, and your want to show your creativity. You've worked so hard to get this far and we're all happy you never stopped. You kind of brought me into the Goth culture, expanding my mind on so many topics and adding on to my love of music. You're one of the big reasons I love the dark and strange, I even started playing guitar after hearing some of your world premiers, realizing that having a big band is nice, you can still have a good time with just your voice and a guitar. I hope you have a better year than the last and you really do feel proud of what you've accomplished.

[@feignamnesia]

I just realized I need an Aurelio and Caitlin Doughty collab. I'm really looking forward to the NYC guide and all the other new content!

[@AnnieNorthman89]

Congrats on the silver play button! I can't wait to see what gothic goodies this channel has planned for next year 🖤

[@Alpha.Phenix]

At this point with how things have changed on KZbin, NOT seeing a clickbait title and/or thumbnail is what makes me more likely to click. Hope you have a better Halloween next year.

[@shaynabear7935]

"Monster-themed Broadway shows" *BEETLEJUICE* *BEETLEJUICE* *BEETLEJUICE*

[@shaynabear7935]

If we get to see Aurelio meet the crew, I think my heart will explode. Alex Brightman x Aurelio Voltaire (PLATONICALLY) is my jam now and nobody can change my mind.

[@thealmightyoreoking]

*has ptsd of tik-tok*

[@suburbohemian]

You know, V, as crazy busy as you are (and we are too) it's just fine whenever your vids show up. They're always worth the wait!

[@dragonlordblazer13]

I fell in love with your music on AQW and well, have enjoyed every ounce of your work since. edit: I'd love to see a your cooking recipes! And do what you want to do, if making the videos does nothing for you then don't make them. You have to do what makes you happy.

[@lynabrahamson]

Congrats Voltaire, you deserve more than 100k subs! Im glad that I found your channel and that you have given me so much inspiration to decorate my lair. Thank you for bringing me joy when I have rough days!

[@lokuzt]

"Halloween homemaking" sounds great, but don't change the name of the segment, maybe just add a dash or hyphen to the name ("Gothic Homemaking presents: Halloween HM") keep up the good work and Happ New year!

[@darktwistedwitch]

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS FOR HITTING 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS! I know it's late, but still congrats anyway for all the hard work you've accomplished this year and I hope you continue all of your hard work and creations in 2020! Second, YOU ARE NOT BORING!! Personally, I love hearing about your stories and ideas and the many MANY creative ideas and works that you come up with. I appreciate the fact that you don't want to do the same thing that other KZbinrs do in the KZbin Community! You are making music, creative ideas, you're own videos of Gothic Homemaking and Alight in The Shadows because it is something that YOU want to do! It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks because its YOUR work, its YOUR creations, music, videos and amazing projects! That's what makes it so different, and unique! And it gives me such joy to support a great artist such as yourself, sorry if I'm getting too gushy and fangirling but it's the truth! So thank you again for all the hard work that you do and thank you for being an inspiration to not just me but to your fans as well! Happy New Year, Voltaire!!

[@appalachain_possum]

Dude. Gothic homemaking is more than shopping and hauls! Anything you do to and in your home is homemaking. I'd love to see you go all out during the spooky season! I wanna see how to throw a Halloween party. I wanna see like 1000 jack o lanterns carved! I wanna see how to hide the razorblades in the candy!! Oh, wait, I'm just thinking out loud now.😜 Keep it up, love it.

[@nancyware7282]

Quality beats schlock quantity every time.

[@losttard7928]

hey, Voltaire I hope you see this but , do you remember that episode of Milly and Mandy with the Brains song I have been looking for you for 3 and a half years, thank you for making your music you make life a joyful place.

[@KyomiHaru]

I would genuinely watch a gothic travel show by Voltaire. I finished Dark Tourist on Netflix, and it's the type of content I love, but the host barely had the same level of charisma that Voltaire has in just his pinky toe.

[@LizabellaRose1]

Don't ever apologize for winging it. You "wing" better than most people "plan." Congrats on the award! 🦇

[@kingcornelius865]

It is so nice to see you (and Orville) as dear friends speaking kindly to us! ❤

[@CrimsonSerenity]

Have a very Joyous, Safe, Prosperous, Healthy and Gothic New Year!!! Cheers! 😜🥂🎆🎉🖤 BTW, don't apologies for not putting out a video every week. As a creator myself I know how hard it is to not only think of something to do, find the time to do it, create and TRY to keep the city life and anything else from interfering in the making of the video (like noisy neighbors or city traffic noise outside your window). We get it. Plus, we also know you not only have a career outside of KZbin but you are also engaged to get married. A wedding takes a lot of time and money. Where do you even find time to breath, Aurelio? WOW! LOL! Wishing you and your beloved a much easier, smother and successful New Year as well. 😉🖤

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Yay! I'm only 99,860 subs away from getting my play button! Those pillows are on fire ! Thank you for Gothic Homemaking!!!

[@xonglalo4702]

YYYAAAYYY!!!🧛 AND NEW CHANGE LIGHT IN THE SHADOW!!!🧛 GO FOR IT!!!🧛 OK!!!🧛 YOUR VERY WELCOME!!!🧛

[@Rickcas323]

It would be great if you had Christine McConnell as a guest.

[@desicarrion7000]

I like the idea of a Halloween series. I’d watch 🖤 Also looking forward to the new show! Ready for 2020 with you!

[@kevinjoelvazquezaponte2424]

Thank you for sticking with us! Have a blast editing and I hope that it all goes well. Happy New Year!

[@garethmorgan8326]

Now you need a black and purple Gothic scroll frame for that button. Congradulations, you deserve it. Why not call your new show " Aurelio Voltaire's Gothic Halloween Living", a Gothic life and activities, a Gothic Worlds version of Martha Stewart with parties, projects and places - that would cover all your bases.

[@Envy55555]

Seeing more episodes of Gothic Homemaking would be awesome, as I myself love the DIY projects and furniture shopping videos, but I'm definitely not complaining about a travel show or Halloween show (about time there was a year-round Halloween!) The comparison to Anthony Bourdain really suits you, as you are very appreciative of different cultures and the quirks within them, just geared towards the more spooky stuff. Keep being awesome Voltaire!

[@johnson6099]

I love Voltaire! Thanx to Billy & Mandy, 🤘💜🤘 I'm a lifelong fan👻

[@Godnando00]

i have to say, while I don't care for a bit of clickbait every now and then it gets tiring and dull, don't feel bad if you try it once in a while. your content is amazing and if it helps attracting more people, go for it,

[@misherafazbear4717]

Light in the shadows would be also interesting

[@madamehearse9379]

The gothic homemaking series I love! The travel show idea is also amazing.

[@gothicmom5232]

Congrats, Fairy Goth Dude! Ive been watching your videos, music and books for YEARS!! Happy early birthday ( yours is a day after my own lol) Stay motivated and dark!!🦇🦇🖤🖤

[@un1quelyrand0m]

Thank YOU for putting up an amazing years worth of content! You didn’t have to make this video, but you did and that just shows what kind of an amazing person you are. To answer your question about the Halloween episodes! In my opinion, I feel maybe release a Gothic Homemaking every month/2 months leading up to October. Then, let’s say from September 30th to November 1st, you release videos every week/2 weeks all about Halloween! They could be short, amazing videos or long epic pieces! But again, thank you for such fantastic content! Be well, take time out for yourself and enjoy your New Year with all our gothic love! 🖤

[@vanessa4587]

🎉🖤🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🖤🎉 🖤🖤And Congratulations!🖤🖤 P.S. I got my librarian brother to get Candy Claws in the children's section of our county library. Love you Voltaire!🖤

[@echo0497]

I just got here and I feel really welcomed

[@RoseKindred]

I love your videos, not just the homemaking series but the music, the behind the scenes, even interviews on other channels. Congrats on getting the award, or at least unboxing it finally. Perhaps create an episode where you build a flat coffin to display it on the wall.

[@TwilitFall]

That brief moment of panic when my net blipped and the last loaded bit was "last Gothic Homemaking episode-" Spectrum did give me a frighten.

[@Noctwa]

Lol, the ending makes me think of “Arsenic and Old Lace”. It’s been a fun year. I love seeing the different art vendors at your shows. Perhaps you could mention some of them. I know you did for Scientific Woman and it was great meeting her in person too. Really excited for the travel show. See you next year.

[@Alaxamber]

While I am sad I did not start watching LoV when it started, so excited go be part if it for 2020

[@happyghoul6056]

Honestly your videos have given me so much inspiration and so much positivity in my life, I can’t thank you or this community enough! As for your new adventures, we all can’t wait to see!

[@NordVent]

Hey Voltaire! I've been following you for quite a while and one of the main reasons for that is that you are not a sell out. And i thank you for that so much! The best thing is that not only you are not a sell out, is that you realize what that means in a honest and realistic way, not like a teenager who hasn't smelled money and still thinks its the devil. We live in a consumer society, to want money is OKAY. But to still stand for what you want to do and believe in it, even managing to pay the bills by that - please do! And you, saying you have anxiety from youtube ratings... honestly, makes me so so happy! Because i have anxiety on everything that is not amazingly accepted that i do... and knowing people i love and admire go through the same and manage to be, well, somehow better.. THank you!!! Love you lots! And everybody, if you reached his comment - If you can, if you feel comfortable - go support the guy on Patreon. I think it matters more than youtube advertising money. Have an amazingly beautiful year!!

[@Rayvana]

Do a gothic tour of various cities around the world! I for one would love to help out with a Gothic Toronto show

[@IceBlueEyesX]

Congratulations, you magnificent devil! I'm really glad for you. You have brought joy to so many with your music and your special brand of style and humor; myself included.

[@geminigrrl66]

I've enjoyed every episode of Gothic Homemaking. So many great decorating ideas, and Orville had me in stitches. He should have his own show, lol.

[@suburbohemian]

You know, too, I like Gothic Homemaking but maybe add Halloween specials that *aren't* loads of consumerism. Michael's throws enough coupons at me to make me aware of what's in the store. I'd love to see more V-Home-in-the-Lair sorts...I'd love to see you bake! I also keep wondering if you'll please give us a full tour of your place! PLEASE. :)

[@mydizzymelody]

I discovered your channel through the Halloween decor hauls. I had never heard about you before even though I have followed channels like Black Friday for YEARS and have been part of the gothic subculture since high school. Through your channel I discovered Gothic Home Making witch is a dream comes true, pun intended. 😉 Now Im discovering your music. I say, you keep making all of it. Gothic Homemaking will pick up steam, just watch. You’re a multi talented individual and your recognition will come soon. I can’t wait for you to be on TV again!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Welcome aboard!!!

[@mydizzymelody]

The Lair of Voltaire so happy to be here. I’m happy to have found someone who takes gothic decorating seriously and executes it beautifully.

[@enderthecat]

You've been making this content for weirdos like us for quite a long time, can't wait for what you have in store for the next year, whether it's A Light In The Shadows or your decision in Halloween Homemaking. I'm sorry for your lack of views over those videos and I can't wait for what you have in store next. Don't stop reaching that dream

[@Chrisdead27]

Happy New Year Voltaire. I think you should still make Gothic homemaking. I like watching your videos about anything even its when its not Halloween or Halloween in general. I think and some other viewers would agree. I think you should do a Gothic Guide in Atlanta,GA even for Dragoncon. For your show to get other people to watch your KZbin videos and even get more subscribers. Plus, you are awesome at what you do. Even clapping to your songs at The Westin Hotel at Dragoncon

[@missiraftelis2756]

I don’t know how anyone could go wrong with a year of Halloween Homemaking! I am not a gothic lifestyler but I am a Halloween obsessed homemaker so I’m all in no matter what content you provide us with. Whatever inspires you is the right choice as your personality and energy is what really gets us watching at the end of the day. We love YOU, Voltaire! p.s the spooky travel idea is 🔥🔥, I hope there’s a way to make that a reality in some way in 2020!

[@thatoneeggplant]

I love gothic homemaking, but then again I love everything you make, so the Halloween show sounds great!

[@doggytheanarchist7876]

I only found this channel today. Loved his music since I was a kid, but I never knew how horrifically pleasant this guy is. He's just SO lovely, I can hardly contain myself.

[@1989Goodspeed]

08:01 A whole heap of hindsight. Anyway, congrats on the silver! Three cool ting about 2019: This channel, discovering John Fluevog shoes (thank you) and… Hazbin Hotel. Looking forward to the new format with anticipation!

[@Test-of9sd]

It's disappointing that you're so talented, your show is ready for TV, you're a great visual, musical, and acting talent but haven't been picked up. I can see your shows on several cable channels especially as a Halloween special. Hopefully something comes through, you deserve it.

[@itsterminal7153]

"Happy new year and Farwell! This is the last gothic homemaking--" Anybody else had a mini heart attack from this or just me

[@Bellinghieri]

Anything you I will watch, thank you for everything you do for us T.T

[@Boethion]

While a semi-consistent schedule is indeed important, its also even more important that you make the content YOU want to make even if it might not reach the views you were hoping for. The interesting thing about the Internet is that even content that might not have much of an audience now might suddenly get a big surge of attention months/years later, so dont be afraid to just post content as long as you enjoyed making it.

[@greedy_muppet]

My favorite videos are the ones where you pick an item you want to make and you showcase the places that sell similar items or sell really interesting supplies. My absolute favorite video of yours was where you searched for a human skull. I am really looking forward to A Light in the Shadows. I tell people about your videos all the time. Wish you had more views, but you know, even when you start to get more views on average you will always thirst for more. If you have 100k on average, you’ll think “yeah, but that other one got 500k.” Be happy and do what you love. Your fans are fiercely loyal and we love that your authenticity and passion show through in all you do. And congratulations on the KZbin award.

[@Godnando00]

I think most of us really prefer those videos we can see you are sincere and all that good stuff, so really, focus on quality and also in yourself. anyways, see you next year

[@Batronyx]

Congratulations! I wouldn't necessarily rename Gothic Homemaking, but I wouldn't object to a whole year dedicated to specifically Halloween as a subtopic, similar to when you had a run of oddities based episodes, and some interviews with other Goths prominent in the community. But that's just me. You do you. I look forward to "Alight in the Shadows"

[@cloverncrossbones]

Please don't stop this show. I have learned so much. There is no other gothic diy show worth watching!

[@paulahatch9955]

Happy new year ..daddy goth 🖤

[@morgonas13death]

A light in the shadows is going to be amazing! Gothic homemaking is amazing just sprinkle Halloween homemaking videos throughout the year as well as "regular" gothic homemaking sounds perfect to me.

[@shellegriffin]

I enjoy your personality and humor. You are a man apart from all others. Your music and stories have been an inspiration to me and others I share with. I don’t look like a Goth on the outside as that is a part of myself that I protect. Now as for the show options totally keep Gothic home making. You should absolutely have a seasonal separate show immersing in what you love. No reason to not have both. Excited about the new travel show.

[@jessecompton3501]

This gentleman comes across in such a humble and genuine way that you cannot not like this man. These one on one videos are captivating. I've always listened to his music but these videos are amazing. I would play "Goodnight Demon Slayer" (and sing along lol) to my daughter when she was an infant. Present day, everyday on our way home from school we both sing "The Night". It's her favorite song. Anyway, just wanted to say to you Mr. Hernández, THANK YOU for not only all your hard work over the years but for being a sincere human being. I wish you much success but above all, great health and true happiness!! Take care 🤙🏼

[@thegentlemanpirate704]

I have followed you for years and the main reason is your infectious passion for what you love. A Halloween show is a tremendous idea as it will mean you continue doing what your passionate about and producing quality over quantity

[@Sevvolf]

Congrats!!! Voltaire you're videos and music has done a lot for me. I really owe you at least my thanks. You're not only my introduction of all things goth, but you're music pulled me through some of the darkest points in my life. I have yet to go see you live, I hope to do so asap, my apologies if I cry. Congrats again!

[@cptrevenant4088]

Oh sweet! He got one of the new ones! But further to point hes just so genuinely sweet and its amazing.

[@jasperjansen8477]

Congrats Voltaire! I wish you all the best in 2020!

[@JanLegris]

Phew, indeed. I'm glad that you are staying with us and that we get to hear your dulcet tones filling our ears, painting a picture of gothic life with your words :) To answer your question. I've enjoyed watching GH for 2-3 years now (I haven't really kept track of how long) and what appeals to me is your character, your persona, giving me a view into a gothic life. First through reclaiming your space and making it your own macabre domain and then by continuing, showing your taste in decoration and the people you show us. It's been great watching a goth so hands-on as yourself as well as snippets of the gothic world around you :D To me, the travel show with it's focus on the gothic, as well as the sometimes sinister or macabre beauty of nature, has been awesome. I want to keep seeing you make content, hopefully content that you enjoy. The Halloween shopping content has been good, but it did feel like it ate everything else around it. I'd have been just as happy with one or two summary of what's out there to buy videos as your, well put together, but essentially monothematic shopping explorations. I still watched and enjoyed, but your comment about missing out on doing the things you'd enjoy really made me wish I'd seen that. Baking a pumpkin pie, or a party with other bats. Well, as you yourself observe, conversations all too happily ramble on and get away from oneself. I hope this answer and thoughts helps you in your journey to follow your path. Carry on & keep creating. edit: The informal and welcoming tone of this video did no harm and was very enjoyable to me ;)

[@lodemaiofslovakia]

Maybe not end Gothic Homemaking, but do a Halloween "chapter" for those months. You could also do different seasonal\holiday chapters . The travel show does sound amazing! Having a dark perspective bringing light to these places is refreshing. Travel tips for goths! Packing, surviving heat, healthy tips for being fit enough to hike-etc, avoiding pickpockets, stuff like that. Love all your work!

[@amygonzalez3734]

I'd love to see you go into the catacombs!

[@elizabethschultz5112]

Congratulations! I would love to see a series about Halloween. As they say throw it on the wall and see if it sticks! Keep being fabulous and have fun!! 🎃

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY BAT FRIENDS HOPE ALL YOUR LITTLE WINGS COME TRUE

[@Prescilla24]

I will watch any gothic homemaking type video, doesn't matter what it's called or if it's a separate show. I'll watch it all!

[@anneargo-davies692]

I think it would be cool to see a Robin Leach Lifestyles type video where you show us the gothic homes that are inspired, homes of influential goths, and historical goth homes. Love the travelogue shows, highly interested in unique cultural themes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights into the gothic world. Congrats on your award, it was truly deserved.
