Moving!!!!
🕑 Added 2024-12-02 11:55:17 +0000 UTCGood morning Patreon Family!
Firstly, apologies for the channel and community radio silence for the past week, and the next week or so coming.
We are currently moving into our brand new place and it’s all hands on deck and many layers of red white and royal blue wedding cake level chaos! To say the least...
We promise to resume your regular schedule of gay sh*t and fabulous representation reviewing ASAP but in the meantime we will give you little updates of the move and in particular, the look of the brand new ASWT recording "studio" (no longer Alex’s bedroom - so that’s exciting)
Can’t wait to keep you all posted and sending lots of love!
Thanks again for your patience’s
Love
Alex and Josh
Xoxo

Good luck with the moving process! I can't wait to see the new studio 😍

And Sam it seemed you missed the mark on my comment. I never mentioned anything about when Alex and Josh should be posting their content nor do I agree with that sentiment as expressed by the two people who were complaining. My comment (not complaint) was that (with the benefit of hindsight) if ASWT had told their subscribers that there was an up and coming hiatus on new content then all of this back and forth commentary would not now be occuring. Also furthermore, I don't need to be reminded of the efforts that Alex and Josh put into their content. I have been a fan of them for over 2-1/2 years, was an early subscriber to their Patreon Channel and one of the first to subscribe to their Discord channel (though I did leave Discord a couple of months later as nobody seemed to be chatting :) ), so I know what they're about and what they stand for and I have sent supportive and messages of praise to them in the past. And I've even been known to not agree with them and voice that In the comments: I know, shocking isn't it. Take care. Pip. P.S. 2 people making adverse comments against 30 or so people making positive comments plus 145🖤 for the post is hardly a barrage of complaints. :)

Congratulations on your new ASWT home. xx

Exactly this! 👏🏻👏🏻

Pip, if that was meant to be humorous, I think you missed the mark. You might think it’s “funny” to post a comment here and think it’s a one off, but please bear in mind that ASWT receive hundreds and hundreds of comments on multiple platforms, and receiving a barrage of negativity isn’t likely to encourage them to post more frequently. Alex and Josh are human - just two regular guys who happen to have a platform sharing their (insightful) views on queer representation.

If you need the discord invite link again: https://discord.gg/PA86fRUN

Are you in our discord community? The best way to reach me is to contact me there. I will allow members of our discord to send me a DM if you have concerns you’d like to discuss. PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT an invitation to DM me to request content to be added to our recommendation list; that has to go through the proper process on discord per our rules there (and yes I know I’m behind on updating it). Please do NOT send me a dm for anything other than discussing concerns related to your membership or private issues about the ASWT community
Pip
It was meant to be taken as humour.
Pip
So how do I contact you privately?

Good luck with the move guys I know what it’s like. I’m in the process myself and it’s soooo stressful! And those complaining need to give it a rest. Recently I’ve subscribed to other Heartstopper reactors and I was so disappointed. Their ‘complete and unedited’ reactions are like one or two minutes longer than their edits! You get your money with J&A - each of their Heartstopper vids almost always over an hour 🤣🤣 keep doing what you’re doing you two! ❤️

Well Said Charlie and Thank You! ASWT is become a wonderful family and community. I’m grateful for their efforts and respect that we all have stuff going on. Life gets in the way sometimes. It would be nice if Folks would respect that.
Charlie
I do not want to start an internet debate, but I need to address the negative comments here. I’ve had the privilege of being a moderator for this channel for a year now so I can say with absolute certainty that the gentlemen behind ASWT work tirelessly to bring you quality content as often as they can. While I understand that may not always be on a “regular” schedule like other content creators, you must realize that not everyone does this full time and that there are REAL PEOPLE behind this work with real lives and daily responsibilities they have to juggle on top of the work for this channel. There is a lot that goes into the prep, planning, and scheduling before even shooting videos, then all the editing, etc. There is also other behind the scenes work that ASWT is doing for their brand that you may not yet be aware of; just because you haven’t yet seen the results of that work doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I have been on Patreon for quite some time and have subscribed and unsubscribed to a number of different creators over time. That’s one of the lovely things about this platform: I can choose who to support, and if at any time I’m unhappy, I can simply withdraw my support and cancel my subscription. Simple as that. I’ve done so plenty of times over the years. I’ve subscribed, unsubscribed, and resubscribed to people, or changed tiers when my financial situation has changed or when I no longer wanted/needed certain perks. The control is in your hands. There’s simply no need to be rude publicly in comments and post things you know will get you attention just because you are unhappy. Clearly you must know that video reactors don’t employ PR people, so comments like that are simply meant to be snarky and gain attention; posturing behind the safety of your computer screen is highly unnecessary when all you need to do is either reach out to a moderator with questions, or simply change your subscription. I’m going to say this on behalf of everyone in this community: ASWT and the moderators work hard to make the Discord, Patreon, and YouTube communities safe and supportive spaces for everyone. We have been so lucky that we’ve had such lovely members who have become like family, and we are fiercely protective of everyone in these spaces. We would like to keep the positive vibes going in all these communities. So to everyone who has questions or concerns about future content or timing or anything else related to this channel, please remember our community guidelines and don’t post comments about that here. You can reach out to me directly and I’ll address your concerns myself. But please try to respect the ASWT team and everyone in our space.
Suze
They’re two young content creators who have only just been able to manage for one of them to go full time on the channel; how are they going to afford a PR person?
Pip
Maybe ASWT could have just warned subscribers beforehand that there was going to be some “radio silence” so that they could then adjust their subscriptions accordingly and so not end up so disgruntled. I can afford to bear the cost of “radio silence” but some people are on a limited income and may have foregone a small pleasure to subscribe to ASWT. Maybe they need to employ a PR person.

Happy moving in guys. It’s chaos but it’ll be worth it! Just keep some drinks on hand and carry on, don’t worry about us..😂❤️

So proud of you guys and can’t wait to see how things look when you record in the new space! Sending you both lots of positive vibes for the move and set up, I know how stressful that process can be 💜
Jennifer Cooper
Oh so happy for you both and so great that you will dedicated “studio” space, though I will miss playing I-spy with Alex’s hutch. 🥰
Karen
Congratulations! The moving process sucks majorly, but having a new place makes it worth it.
Sam S
The foundation of the community that ASWT have built is based on the principle of respect. Respectful dialogue is what allows this to remain a safe space for all. This is why we have the community guidelines here on Patreon and our community rules on Discord. Therefore, to have anyone come on here and be so disrespectful towards Alex and Josh, and essentially accuse them of a money-grab, is truly galling. In my opinion it says more about you than it does about them. For many of us, this community is the safest place on the internet, and we are fiercely protective of it. Our moderating team will remove any further comments of this nature, and we hope that you take time to reflect on your attitude, because it’s absolutely not welcome here.

I'm glad you have a new space and studio! Thank you for all your fabulous content and I look forward to seeing the videos with your new place
Shelby Frost Bay
Congrats!!!!!!!
Suze
Congratulations on being creators worthy of your own studio 😘
Suze
Yo! That is an absolutely astonishing thing to say. Seriously, wtf?! If you’re part of the ASWT community you should know that’s not what they’re about. I can’t even express how much this comment has pissed me off.
Charlie
Folks, I understand that you are anxious for new episodes, but please be respectful and remember the community rules and guidelines of this space. We don’t comment on how long it does/doesn’t take for new content to be posted. Alex and Josh work tirelessly behind the scenes on planning, recording, and editing new content. And yes, real life does take precedence. While they are devoted to providing quality content to you, they are also real people with real lives outside of being content creators. Please do not forget that. Rude comments are neither welcome nor necessary here. Further comments on when new content will be delivered will be deleted. Again, please refer to the community rules and guidelines.
Amber
It is definitely way too long for a series that is a total of four hours viewing time. This really should have been wrapped up weeks ago, before this movie even happened.
k8ie
i just think it’s insane to take over two months to watch 8 episodes…especially if you knew you were moving like…you can film two episodes in one sitting and be done in 4 days and then release them weekly….i know they have a whole thing against schedules but idk it’s just makes me think they prolong very in demand series to keep people paying each month…
James LEE
This is so exciting! I'm going to miss your big window where you can easily see your neighbours and vice versa.
Amber
No, they last posted epi 7 on 11/15, it’s a bit too long to wait for the last episode when you’re paying to see it. I understand life happens, things come up but almost 3 weeks is a little excessive I think, and now they’re saying it could be another couple weeks before they start posting again. I don’t know
D.A. Rowley
Congratulations on the new place. So excited for you and so looking forward to the new digs. Have fun!
k8ie
am i the only one who thinks it’s ridiculous that it’s taking this long?
Michele 🖤🤍💜🩶
Excited for you both. Take your time to do all the things. We'll be here when you get back! 😉
Diane Furlong
Woohoo!! Exciting and exhausting times!
Amber
Anxiously awaiting the last episode of Heartstopper.

Looks bigger than your last place. So we can all finally meet in PERSON at yours. Great news! Looking forward to you hosting us all! Ta! 🤪🥳🤩
Laura Ibarra
Good luck with the move! Excited to see the new dedicated space and so excited for what’s to come! Take the time you need - moving is one of the hardest things to deal with since it comes not only with physical change but all the other changes that are time consuming but necessary! I remember the first time I moved out of my parents house, thinking “ WAIT WAIT WAIT! What do you mean I need to set up water/electricity/etc services?! They don’t just come with the place?!” 🫠🫠🫠
