Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
So a lot of you know that I have a Patreon. If you didn't, uh... you do now? I originally launched it for my comics, but it kind of transitioned to being mostly focused on my Witchcraft podcast years ago -- because that's where I had extra content I could give folks -- but it's overall just for "me" in general.
Anyways.
My goal for the last year has been to increase the "value" for Patreon patrons, with all paid tiers getting access to a copy of Super Awesome Action Heroes, and the five dollar and ten dollar tiers getting access to my novels (at different times -- the five dollar tier patrons get them on a year delay).
For a while I had been doing Patreon exclusive "vlogs," but those didn't last just because I literally ran out of things to say in them. I mean, I'm boring. The only eventful stuff in my life is the eventful stuff happening to all of us right now. Back in April, I think I came up with something fun that I've now done two months in a row.
And that's record reaction videos to episodes of The Pagan Invasion.
You see, for the April episode of BS-Free Witchcraft I did an episode on the structure of Satanic Panic propaganda, and used the first episode of 1991's The Pagan Invasion as the example to illustrate my points. For that episode I needed to, obviously, rewatch that first episode for research.
Rather than just watch it in private though, I recorded my rewatch as a commentary and reaction video and posted it as a Patreon exclusive video. And even though the podcast has moved on from the topic, folks asked me to react to episode two... so I did that last week. I fully intend to review the whole series on my Patreon now, and each one of my videos ends up being like two hours long. I don't know if I'll get a chance to do one every month, but I plan to get through the whole series.
Honestly I'm not sure why I didn't think of doing something like this before.
So yeah, we're doing fun stuff there. Oh, also, before I forget to say something -- July is the annual Q&A episode of BS-Free Witchcraft, and I need listener questions. If you have something you want me to respond to on the show, just send it in via the show's contact form by July 11th 2025.

*gets some popcorn*
hehehehehehehehehheheheheheheheheh. *JUSTICE*
And those of us that get the joke are laughing out heads off! XD
Oh dear. Will bloodstains wash out of the upholstery on those chairs?
Also, I want to see the payoff for whatever is going on with the shirtless guy in the background.
He’s cosplaying half a character from “Free!”
Honestly I think even new readers will get the gist, if not the details.
Does Terrence really think he has the authority to kick someone who they both acknowledge has a hotel room out of the hotel? For not wearing a badge?
In the face of such immovable stupidity, I can see why Max decided to quietly turn the retribution dial up to 11.
I thought about this too. What an absolute pompous douche lol.
You never kick someone out of the hotel. You contact hotel staff or the police, and have them do it…
Either of whom would laugh at Terrence for trying it for this reason. Kicking someone out of the hotel is for things like breaking the hotel’s rules, or for actual crimes.
I wonder how many parts of what Terrence is trying to do were covered in the volunteer meeting he thought he was too good to go to? (I figure that even if he did end up going to it, he was feeling so full of himself that he wasn’t paying any attention.)
Heck, he may have actually heard it and just assumed it didn’t apply to him since he’s staff. Terrence seems like kind of person…
