TLDR:
I'm thinking currently on how to move forward, seeing as there's a multitude of issues with YouTube in general currently, not only with my channels. ASMR content is currently taking a big hit from YouTube, so the current plan is to wait out most of next month and see if there's any changes.
Name Rebranding: Couple things, I want to keep the name Ria as my personal one, changes to channel names, accounts, etc may be put in place, but I want to retain the name Ria. Though I'm currently really quite in love with the name Blood Maiden (ASMR, TTV, VT, etc).
Looks Rebranding: I know if I start a new channel, I want to have it fully moved away from AI art. Either I'll do my own art because I've been getting a lot better recently, or I'll get commissioned art for videos.
OC: I'm either going to move to just one main channel character, OR I'm going to keep Pepper/my main channel avatar as a primary or secondary OC. I'm honestly so attached to her, plus I like the fact that visually she looks like me, but I would love to make changes. I have a design and character in mind who would be this 'Blood Maiden' in question, she'd be a vampire and like our favourite vampire boyo from BG3, she'd have white hair, red eyes, and be elven (I SWEAR TO YOU I DID NOT INTEND HER TO BE LIKE HIM!!! Legit only realised it yesterday 😠I just like the pale white and red aesthetic as much as I like the black and green and purple one that Pepper has 😂).
The REAL TLDR:
I probably am going to come back to YouTube in some form or another, but not for a little while. Things I'm thinking about changing are quite extensive, channel name (brand name), all original/commissioned art for the channel, maybe a different OC and potentially only one (I'm considering keeping Pepper/my main pfp avatar cause I'm attached, I won't lie). This is all just me currently thinking about things and slowly putting them into motion, but any and all of your thoughts is greatly appreciated. I'll probably post some things later and in the upcoming weeks about everything 🥰
