<p style="">Hi. We're the joystick system, a plural collective brain of confused personalities, usually Audrey (me) who make videos on the internet anyway this is our page description of the things we do and you probably already know at least some of that if you wound up here.</p><p style=""></p><p style="">Description anyway. We make: a) YouTube video essays in the 20-60 minute long ballpark about anime, movies and games, which also have AMVs in them, for some reason b) standalone AMVs, which are usually trying to reflect some sort of a theme with the visual/songs choice; these are less frequent but take just about as long, and c) most commonly these days, writing, both fictional and critical, which you can find on our <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/users/Silvia_Fisher" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">AO3</a> and <a href="https://joyce-stick.tumblr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> pages.</p><p style=""></p><p style="">It's still not illegal to solicit donations on Patreon is for, so we're still doing it. You can also consider donating to us on <a href="https://ko-fi.com/joycestick" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ko-fi</a>, if that's more your speed. If you're not familiar with our work, here's some good/popular videos we've made before:</p><p style=""></p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nPcdjHX7wus" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/biRsiZIsbAI" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9OVFifBE3vA" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPvT--gboRY" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GsO2aacKrCM" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe><h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(31, 73, 125);"><mark style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);">Why?</mark></span></h3><p style="">Because we feel things about art, we are mentally ill, and we are still alive.</p><h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(31, 73, 125);">How often?</span></h3><p style="">Lately we've been really burnt out, and our finances and housing situation are pretty unstable at the time of writing, we need to get an actual job, of some sort, at some point, because to be honest, this pursuit hasn't been to successful. So, those two things have slowed us down a lot. Nonetheless, we're going to try our best to update at least once per month with SOMETHING. If not a full video essay, then, a shorter video, a script, a writeup, a short story, something. You'll hopefully get something. We'll try to make something.</p><h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:rgb(31, 73, 125);">What are you using the money for?</span></h3><p style="">Staying alive, obviously. Failing that, buying things to make better videos, like computer maintenance stuff, backup hard drives, and whatever media to research that can't easily be downloaded, like physical books and etc. Also hormones, if they start charging us more for that. Hopefully that answers all the big questions that there are! In any case, thank you for at least giving a look, hope you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrBAHzXkvMp-Uz03Bo94DGQ" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">check out our stuff</a>, which will always be free. Have a very nice day. (Patron tier sprites by <a href="https://twitter.com/Fleshsqueeze" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blood Machine</a>)</p>

Free

<p style="">Name in credits + access to early videos + secret Discord access + our eternal gratitude, and a hug if you happen to encounter us and demand one.</p>

Maya Fey

<p style="">Same as the first tier but charges twice as much, if you're feeling doubly generous.</p>

Atsuko Kagari

<p style="">Access to scrapped scripts, ideas, junk, or secretly brilliant hidden things. Probably not different from the first two tiers most of the time, except when we remember this is a thing and have something special to share.</p>

Lili Zanotto

<p style="">Same as the lesser tiers, but you get your name read aloud at the end.</p>

Haru Okumura

<p style="">This used to be the old fanfiction tier, however I decided to not actively offer that (you can still ask if you really want it). So, this isn't really much different, you're just consenting to being charged more. And can justifiably ask us for more since you're giving us more money and we'd feel guilty to not oblige such a request.</p>

Monika, Just Monika

<p>The standard "you're too kind" tier that you usually see on people's Patreons for which I give you nothing special but also give you everything I can think of.</p>
