August 2023 Updates
Hey all! Welcome to my first proper newsletter… post. Thing. I haven’t figured out how often I’ll do this yet, but monthly at the very least seems good, so August 2023 Newsletter it is.
Anyway…
Live Laugh Stuck
Last week we had our third Doomed Timelines episode and the second and final part of “in our days we will live (like our ghosts will live).” I’ve also been calling it “Here Comes the First Step,” which is the name of the overarching series of stories in that universe. I think this is the only fic from that series that we recorded, but I don’t have a list of Doomed Timelines episodes in front of me, so take that with a grain of salt. I will say we only have two episodes left, so treasure them while you can.
Next week (Aug 10th) we’ll be back to our Homestuck readthrough with Moosie, starting with Act 5 Act 2. Shit gets confusing! We ended up recording three parts in total for the entirety of Act 5 Act 2, which means we’re set to finish the webcomic sometime in the next decade.
The interest form to get on an episode of Fanstuck or Problematic Faves is open again! It of course doesn’t guarantee you a spot, but I want to get back to having more guests and promoting more projects, so shoot your shot!
Speaking of guests, the new website’s guest list is still under construction, but is still a great resource for earlier episodes! Really excited to eventually get it all in one place.
Jax Yacks Elsewhere
I have two updated Youtube playlists of me on other channels. One is all Homestuck related and the other is currently me in various actual plays by Bard Rock Cafe, but is effectively the non-Homestuck related stuff. I also try to keep an updated list on my website, which includes a one off episode for their main campaign that’s not yet on their Youtube.
I’m working on other things, but none of them are in a state to talk about yet. Hopefully by the end of the year!

Prompt “What does the body know?” generated here.
Abstraction distraction Tremors you hear Vibrations you don't Ghosts of pains and limbs and phones Sporadic phantasmic Shadows loom as Peripheral foes Branches and lightning and piles of clothes Longing belonging Psychosomatic Aches with no source Creeping fears of death and worse

I also have various commissions open from Tarot readings to voice acting to writing and editing. Also a shop on Ko-Fi and Redbubble that I might be adding more designs to (or reuploading some after Viz wiped out a bunch of Homestuck designs).
Thanks for reading, and let me know if there’s anything else y’all want to know about!
