The universe didn't want me to make a Wabuu video

Hello all.

This is NOT THE FINAL VIDEO - as I think I said in a previous post, I tie myself up in knots and make myself sick over 1. not finishing videos in good time because 2. I spend a million years doing pointless things like try to make my teeth look less gross in post which 3. gets me upset and how long a video takes to make which means 4. I feel awful that I don't have a regular video release schedule and yet continue to have amazing fans who keep supporting me despite my chronic illness messing everything up 5. Return to 1.

In any case, I've had a utter mare of a year so far. For a start, the company behind my book (which is finished and was ready to be published) turned out to be utter shits (allegedly in my opinon) and have been dragging their feet for two months in giving me my rights to my work back after stealing all my backer's money. There's an insane amount of money taken from backers of other projects - mine was one of the few taken over (without my consent) to the "new" company. There's a few articles about it and I will spill the utter tea as soon as I have a confirmed legal document from them about ownership of my book.

As for the book, by the way, I have no idea what to do with it. Part of me thinks I should just post it on crappy Amazon and be done with it, with a pay what you want option. It was never about earning anything from it (which is convenient considering despite what trolls assert, I and the other projects which were successfully fundraised never received a penny for our work) so I don't mind putting it out there for free - but I would like there to at least be a physical option.

Anyway - this video has been in a state of "nearly finished" (which is what my ADHD considers to be 10 hours of solid work) for two months. With the stress of the book, PTSD recourrances, successfully getting another Edinburgh Fringe show (two, actually) and scrambling to raise for them and write the shows themselves, I'm in a bit of a muddle right now. There's been some dark moments but streaming on Twitch has been a real lighthouse for me.

While making this video my girl rats massively affected things by annihilating my sound cables, destroying the cable to my keyboard twice (I'm typing this from a "fuck it I'll just splash out on a wireless" keyboard) and stole the SD card containing all the footage so I had to watch all three Wabuu films again. Also, I have had considerable issues working out how to use my new microphones and had to refilm the oncamera stuff three times.

This version is not the final one because I just NEED to get something out. I just want you guys to have something. There are a couple of sound mixing issues and some jokes that need some visual stuff, and also a few jokes I'll add in later. I reckon the final vid will be about ten minutes longer, which means it will be an hour-long video about the most obnoxious cartoon character ever made <3

I hope you...enjoy it? Also apologies if you get the Wabuu theme tune in your head. It's honestly a banger.
