    WE NEEED COOKING WITH KAT SO BADDDD. Literally those videos give me such comfort and warmth and I watch them religiously whenever I'm down.
    So glad to see you back and I'm so excited to watch your UA-cam pages unfurl. Stories will never be over when you're still writing pages as a wise queen said.

    1) SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK YOU HAVE NO IDEA
    2) hearing “cooking with kat” awakened something deep in my soul
    3) genuinely excited to watch new videos in any capacity you deliver them in! a feeling of nostalgia i’ve been needing, but also just general genuine excitement to hear from one of my favorite creators.
    i’m happy to see you back and excited for more and i promise not to perceive you too much queen lol

    You were part of the reason I found out about NaNoWriMo! I remember 2012 was my first year participating in NaNoWriMo and you added me back as a buddy. While you were vlogging your process, you ended the videos in shouting out people in your buddy list as they finished the 50K goal. I ended up on the list in one video! I was a teenager then, but even now I still remember that little encouragement. I'm glad see to see this update and hope everything's been well!

    I remember watching you when I was a sad fourteen year old. And now I'm still a sad fourteen year old but in a twenty three year olds body. I know what it's like to constantly feel paranoid about being seen, but maybe knowing one person got something out seeing you will be enough to make that a bit easier. Nice to have you back Kat

    It doesn’t matter if you wear make up or not, what I’ve always loved about your videos was and IS your personality and how realistic they are. I hope you can comeback soon. 😢

  • @tsunqueencos
    @tsunqueencos 18 днів тому +5

    I recently saw a TikTok video that was talking about BookTube nostalgia that mentioned you were making a comeback, so I listened to your ep on Christine's podcast, and I have been WAITING WITH BATED BREATH FOR THIS VIDEO! I remember literally sneaking peeks at my phone under my desk at work the moment you dropped "thoughts on quitting youtube" because I was devastated by the thought of you quitting!
    All that to say, I've always loved your content, and the way you express it as sort of a love-hate relationship depending on your daily mood is incredibly valid. I'm happy to watch your content as long as it exists and glad that you're back for more, but I hope someday you'll reach the point where you truly feel you can 'retire' from UA-cam and feel content with all you've created.
    And that hopefully at that point we can continue following your career as a writer!
    Thank you for all the time and effort you've always put into this channel. I look forward to seeing what you have coming!
    Also the YOI movie cancellation was a crime I will never forgive. Come on, Mappa, we waited years!

Anyways, I got my sister to also drink espresso and we've been hooked ever since. Just a couple days ago she randomly remembered and asked me about that youtuber. Lo and behold, you uploaded a video, haha. Glad to see you back Kat!

    I just wanna say, I’ve been in a slump for almost two years as well. I can’t tell you how many times I checked your UA-cam to see if I missed an upload. You made me excited to read and was always a calming and friendly voice in the background talking about books where I had no friends to do so with in real life. This has made my day. Welcome home… and in this home; we’re all clowns for RepTV🖤

    Hey Katy-I would respect your reasoning to leave for any reason. Thank you for working up the courage to make another video. You are one of the first booktubers I listened to so there is something nostalgic about your content. Your Cassandra Clare commentary made me laugh when I first came across it long ago. Thank you for all of the years and time you put in because it was worth it for your audience. Your rainbow book aesthetic on the shelf behind you is beautiful! Happy New Year! 🤗
