Sorry for the breakdown earlier. Honestly I haven't been behaving very professionally on social media, so I think I need to step back from it and reevaluate my priorities.
12:59 PM · Feb 22, 2026
Social media brings out the worst in us all. I'm glad you're safe, and I'm glad that you're drawing boundaries for yourself. Please take care; we love you, and more than this show's success we want you to take care of yourself. ❤️
Man Reddit and twittter are fucking awful, Reddit clipped scenes from the stream and twitter acted like babies 💀
We are not made of steel, we crumble sometimes and that's ok.
If anything, makes you feel more human.
But also! Social media is bad and you honestly need a break from it if you think you need a break from it! Be safe
Take care, Gooseworx. I wish you well. for what it's worth I understand how you felt.
I don't think you should need to "behave professionally" but stepping back just to not have to be exposed to The Horrible Opinions Of The Masses would probably just be a nicer experience to live
Either way wishing you well
I think at this point it’s smart for certain creators to just not have a relationship with their fan base. Even if some good can come from it, I don’t think it’s worth the mental anguish. It’s been fun having Goose be active, but having to deal with these people is simply not productive.
Im extremely sorry all of that happened to you, you deserve none of it.
I’m of the Gianni Matragrano school of the less social media, the better. It’s such an unpleasant place at the worst of times. You’re fantastic, and deserve infinitely better.
Take all the time you need, and let your brain heal from this hellscape. Love you and everything you've done for so many folks!
The way you’re treated online isn’t remotely justified, so crashing out is totally fair. You’re just a person at the end of the day
You're an excellent creator and have made my favorite series of all time. I am patiently waiting for whatever you make in the future. Please take care of yourself. I know it isn't much but you've changed one person's life.
I'm sorry the fandom's grown so vitriolic, you don't deserve the hate you've gotten.
When it comes to looking after your mental health, you owe no debts and you deserve that time to take care of yourself ~ rooting for you and your successes, but moreover, wishing you well
Please take a step back, this fanbase takes you for granted
You have not tho. Legit you have been nothing but funny and kind and if anyone says anything else there just being a jerk to be a jerk. I think you should still take a break for your own mental health.
You're a funky little artist on the internet, not the CEO of Big Business Inc
You should NEVER have to feel like you need to apologize for being a human experiencing human emotions
Do not stand for being mistreated. Period.
You deserve so much better
thats understandable; none of us r perfect, especially when online and with ppl watching us
I think that’s a fair and mature decision. I wish you wellness girl! Take the time you need.
You are a big inspiration for me to push forward of my art I’m sorry that there are bad fans that are just acting so horrible to you, it’s good to call them out to make sure things don’t get worst but it’s also important to take a big back from the stress
I hope you know many people care for you
Nah goose you were justified some of these “fans” are straight up mentally deranged I’ve seen it first hand in other fandom spaces too
Take care Goose, internet is the problem, is not you in my opinion.
No worries, after all that shit, you deserve a break. It upsets me that all those morons decided to harass you over something as simple and harmless as making a cartoon the way you want to make it.
No matter what, I'll always support you and your projects. You're awesome Gooseworx!
I can't imagine how embittering it feels considering how much you've worked on it. People can't appreciate what a good thing you've made without feeling like they own it. Disappointing, to say the least.
You did nothing wrong, take your time. 🫂
A wise goofy chess guy once said “you need to look out for yourself in all of this too”
I, along with millions of others, appreciate you and what you’ve created, we love you Goose, don’t ever forget that
Do what you need.
Thank you for creating something that me and my friends can come together and watch. It's always an event for us lol.
Valid reaction considering the atrocious behavior of people
What you felt earlier is completely justified. I hope you’ll feel better and more like yourself again in time.
I’m terribly sorry that the fandom puts you into so much pain. I just really hate the mentality that people claim that indie is “the future,” but in reality they just want something that feeds their ego.
I know a lot of people are saying this, but I think it's best to have a good break from the internet.
Touch some grass, hang out with family, and get to a piece of media you've been meaning to get to. It will help out.
Heck even some small chores like cleaning csn help.
Please take all the time you need. Your mental health is way more important. 💖 You deserve all the love and support. Words can’t express how appreciative I am of you. I’ve always really admired you. Please be sure to take care of yourself Goose. 💖
Honestly I dont think you yourself should have to change the way you act on social, you arent the problem in this situation, dealing with with toxicity like that for years would erode anyone down. But I do agree with stepping back from it, you deserve a break from this mess.
Goose you're cool af and care you homie o/ wishing you well and take your time
honestly I agree with you we all need take breaks from social media/the internet from time to time
Nah, genuinely, fandom people are annoying. The crashout was justified. You can’t submit to cry bullies like that. It will only make them bolder.
Don't worry about it Goose, you don't need to apologize. It's understandable, relatable, and it happens.
If you need to take a step away, that's perfectly alright! If you need a break, its well warranted.
Stay safe and do what you need for your overall well-being.
Nah, we understand your frustration, the fans were being ridiculous and out of line. No creator should get hate just for saying the main characters are the main characters.
Social media is just a place for the worst of humanity to scream without consequence. You are plenty professional and deserve to step back for yourself and nothing else!
You’re a Visionary 🌟, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❌
You're why a lot of my friends are eating good.
Fuck the haters.
Goose, what happened to you was completely unacceptable and you had every right to be pissed off. Take a break if you need to, remember you’ve got people in your corner
Take care of yourself first and foremost! Sorry you had a rough night.
Take care queen, do what you want to do because what you want with your own creation is what makes it special, you come first
Take time to recover. Mental health takes priority above all else

Take all the time you need. I feel for you that there’s people that think it’s ok to treat you in this way over a show.
You are 100% valid in feeling upset about it, it’s human.
I support you 🌸
Woah, woah, woah, woah! You did NOTHING WRONG! Those fans are just assholes! You are talented and capable of doing what makes you happy! Do not let anyone tell you differently! #LOVEFORGOOSEWORX
I think you should honestly take a break from your social media accounts because clearly your "fans" don’t know how to treat your decisions with respect
I tried to find out what happened and honestly I don’t think you did anything wrong.
Although definitely take a break if you need one, I can’t imagine the stress you have.
Please take all the time you need! Don't let media illiterate fans make you stop loving the work you create. 💖
Dude, it’s okay.
We appreciate you, please take care of yourself first.
We're all human and none of us are built to have that many eyes on us at all times, don't be too hard on yourself over this
I'm sorry I never took the time to say this sooner. But thank you for all the hard work you've been putting in.
I recall enjoying a lot of your pre-TADC works and it's super cool to get to see you achieve this dream on such a huge scale AND for it to be such an enjoyable watch on its own merrits.
I'm wishing you the best and looking forward to the rest of what you create.
If you need a break from the Internet, I'm all for it and totally get it.
it really sucks to have a responsibility to be professional thrust upon you just because you happened to create something that got popular. youre just a person.
You frankly have nothing to apologize for, but I think stepping away from social media is almost always a good choice. Entitled fans really don’t deserve the access to creators that they have these days. Putting a longer arms length between yourself and fans is always understandable.
Take care of yourself fr. Don’t rush things especially at a time like this, these are awful times. Pull through strong 🤘
I mean to be fair I dont think we really analyze the impact hundreds of thousands of eyes on your Very Personal Work has on the psyche. Youre doing really good goose, your work speaks to me in a world where I dont feel understood.
Gooseworx is awesome! i remember looking at your art on DA and listening to your music having NO damn idea how it works (i still dont know music!!! the hell is a bay-toe-van!!) and i still feel nothing but raw inspiration seeing you trailblaze for indies around the globe. take it easy sweet Goose!!
You can take all of the time you need. We appreciate everything you've done & have been doing.
You deserve better from the people who call themselves “fans”. I can guarantee that there are more who quietly love you than the loud few who criticize.
Take care of yourself, first and foremost.
You're allowed to feel things and vent your frustrations.
Never feel like you can't be human just because you're a creator of joy.
people are being incredibly abnormal and unkind to you, please take your time away from socials. i hope you get to feel safe engaging with people publically again some day.
Wish you didn’t have to go through all this BS, with those guys.
Goose, I really feel awful about this situation🥺 your show is amazing. You inspired me to draw your characters and animate 🫶 it’s okay to take long breaks and take care of yourself
No need for an apology we all understand💜
You deserve a break from all this stupid BS
Do whatever you need to take care of yourself. As others have expressed, I'm sorry that you've had to deal with such an immense amount of pressure and scrutiny, not just in this particular instance, but throughout this IP's cycle. Your peace and health matter most and my wish for you is to rest.
Go right ahead, take care of yourself and your mental health.
I don't blame you for doing so, this fandom doesn't deserve you honestly.
Do whatever makes you happy goose
Also you are really cool <3
Honestly I legitimately don't blame you considering how people were acting
Do what you need to do, goose. I honestly don't blame you in the slightest.
Above all else, you're the person you need to take care of the most.
Naw, valid crashout, normalize calling out cretins.
Take as much time as ya need, and whatever happens, there will be folks that'll respect it
The people who truly care about you will absolutely understand.
I feel so sorry and badly for the crap people gave you for absolutely no good reason.
Take care of yourself, because You are more important.🫂💖
No no please don't apologize Miss Goose! Sorry that you got harassed you don't deserve this!
That's alright Gooseworx, sometimes many issues can appear from any corners and even when it can effect to you, anyone and even myself included.
I want to say is keep on trying because your projects from music, animations and others that many people all around can support your talented work.
Honestly, you reacted the way anyone would if they were in your situation. Some people can just be assholes for no reason. No one should put up with shitdiggers like them.
I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Take care, Gooseworx.
Social Media sucks a far wet one honestly. Please take it easy, eat something nice, and have a better one. You of all people deserve it.
Reddit is a toxic hole and creatives need to cut them off. Its kind of telling that the toxicity came from them and not places like twitter or 4chan...like imagine being more toxic than 4chan. Take time to yourself to feel better.
Totally understandable. If im being honest we all could use a break from the social media hellhole & you didn’t deserve to go through all this discourse.
take care of yourself 🙏♥️
You have nothing to apologize for Goose, don't let the haters break you down. We love and support you ❤️
Just make your art how you want to make it. Those of us that love it can enjoy it, and those who don't can go away.
You don't have to respond to anything. Remember, it's your show and the story is already written.
please take all the time you need, goose. I’m so damn sorry you had to deal with all of that. no one deserves to go through this, let alone someone as talented as you.
take care ✌️
Goose, it's not your fault, the bad side of the tadc fandom is just full of assholes who get upset over petty things.
Take as much time as you need.
You dont have to apologize
I wish more creators would lash out a BSers
It's fine, take a break, just don't let the toxicity take you over to the point yoy become one of them.
You're making the show of your iwn volition, and don't let any of the community change your mind.
Do what you need to. What you went through sounded stressful. 🫂
Don't let a few bullies get to you. I'm sure I speak for most of the fandom when I say I'm excited to see whatever you have planned.
Goose, I appreciate you and your creations. While I'm a random person on the internet.
Even tho I don't post or comment stuff on social media about TADC as I enjoy it on my own accord in personal discords.
Just know many more people love & cherish you and your worlds more then those who hate. ❤️
It’s always a good idea to step back sometimes, social media can be a cesspool. Good on you for knowing when to step back, At the very least for your mental health. Not a lot of creators can do that.
Everyone collectively should take a break from social media. Some perspective and time away from the screen will probably do some good mentally. But please keep in mind that the people stressing you out are an extremely loud and annoying minority. Don’t feel the need to accommodate them.
You're human it's okay that you break every now and again. You take care of yourself<3
Very fair. But I think it's also time for people who harass creators because they're not writing a cartoon the way they want them to to also reevaluate their priorities.
(Clumsily said; you didn't do anything wrong, keep doing what you're doing, people can learn to write fanfiction if they're not happy with what you're doing.)
it's not really unheard of to feel a lot of pressure when it's something that's gotten so big. I hope it's a nice break.
No one is trained to deal with a sudden spike in popularity online, so one must do what they can to stay sane upon being thrown into a flood of literally every kind of human emotion in their inbox every day everywhere they go.
Heck, the closest to people trained to deal with this, such as those taught public speaking and business skills, also totally break down when placed in front of the internet. It's a LOT to deal with.
I'm not really sure if those that handle it well have figured it out or just have a kind of personality that handles it well.
Does it take wearing some kind of weaponized disassociation? Who knows...
Honestly you deserve the crash out fandom Culture has gotten extremely unbearable nowadays. God speed and good luck
That's okay, toxic fans often cause a lot of problems and behave inappropriately. It's normal to feel stressed and angry with them.
i don't know what i missed but i hope you're doing okay and continue to do okay
I’m so sorry that you went through all of this. If you need to step away, then take all the time you need.
It’s okay, Goose. I’m sorry people have been giving you such a hard time about the show. I love what you’re doing with TADC and hope you feel better soon. For every bad apple, there’s hundreds more of us who think you’re amazing.
Hey you're perfectly fine Goose. I love your work and it's your work no matter what diluted people think. You're entitled to feel the way you do about your creations regardless of the loudness of a few ignorant people. Take the best care of yourself and be proud of what you've accomplished :3
Everyone is having a hard time and crashing out a little. Break is warranted. World is a fuck, with hope of being not a fuck.
Taking care of yourself is the hardest part while being online. Take as much time as you need, delay the show a bit if you need to.
You needed it.
I'm glad you're okay Goose! I love your work and I love Pomni and I love Jax and I love what your team and all the wonderful people supporting you are doing!! I can't wait to see what else is in store bc I've never been so touched by an animated series before. I love the story you have to tell.
Shit happens, and you are a human!! People shouldn't be treating you like this :( anyone would of reacted in a similar way, so please don't feel bad over that.
You have done ANYTHING wrong‼️ some people just don't deserve you and thr wonderful things you do 🥺
No worries. Being involved on a show that now has over one billion views with all episodes combined can be quite stressful these days. So I can't blame you taking a break after all that mess today. But you will always be my goat despite the flaws that you and your show has. Good luck on your break.
i mean, shit. with what you have to deal with, i can't really blame you. i'm sorry you're getting so much shit for literally no reason. i hope you're doing okay
love TADC sm
Take care Goose, it's completely understandable. At the end of the day, we're all human. Your emotions are completely valid but it's also good to take a step back for yourself when you need it. The fans who love whatever you put out and make will all be here.
I'm sorry you have to deal with so much. Thank you for all you do, many of us appreciate all the hard work that goes into TADC. :)
Don't let the crazies get to you. You do what you believe is best. I hope you get a nice break and some time to relax. Your mental health should always comes first.
Just wanna say, I've followed your work since even before TADC (Elain and your music and all that). You were always one of and still one of the biggest creative inspirations for me, and this show has been super enthralling so far. And whatever you decide to do in the future, I know you'll rock to...
I've got my own theories and observations with the show, but in the end I know nothing is set in stone, and honestly, while being write with a theory can be fun, being completely wrong can also be a blast. I'm just going off what I know, but the cooler outcome could be something unimaginable to me.
Point is, your work is like the best kind of theme park ride, unexpected drops, twists, and turns on the first ride through, and appreciating all the small little details on the second (and maybe third, and fourth, and...). Keep up those wild rides Goose!

Take care of yourself. We will be here when you come back.
Take as much time as you want to! I am sorry for how today has been for you. Take care! 🩵🩵🩵
Honestly, that does sound like the best plan. Prioritize yourself over what others say. If only I could apply that principle to myself.
All good. Having clear boundaries is important. Stay safe and keep up the great work 👍
I can understand on how stressful it is I will always pray for the best of you guys. 🙏
Its rough yea when you make something popular. You become a lightning rod for criticism. I think you handled the situation as a human would. If you find a way to not let internet comments get to you let me know.
It devistates me that this kind of crap happens to good creators who are just trying to make their passions a reality. As far as I'm concerned, you've done nothing wrong. You made a story about characters you love and shitty people got butt hurt that they didn't get to write it the way they want to.
Like I said in Alex's earlier post, this show and the hard work you all put into it has literally saved my life on more than one occasion, or at least grounded me enough to keep going through some really tough things. I'm truly grateful to you. Take a good rest and keep your friends close. 💙
It’s okay. We all have our moments where we just break down, and honestly, you did nothing to deserve such vitriolic treatment. I’m truly sorry you had to go through this.
Please take all the time that you need to step back, and some take much needed care of yourself. I‘m wishing you all the best.
You’ve been doing so well for so long, one slip isn’t the end of the world
I hope you enjoy your break, Get a nice Tuna Melt, go see a movie with friends, Maybe even embark on an epic DnD quest of grand proportions.
Just have a good time, that's all I ask.
You didn't do anything wrong, Gooseworx! I promise you, these people didn't need to ask questions they weren't prepared to hear the answers to. You were just doing your job to be as truthful as you could be 🙏💛
Goose its not your fault if anything Its this fandom's fault for not being respectful and understanding. please take a step back if you need to and I wish you the best
Absolutely, take care of yourself
I’m truly sorry some people can be so rotten, you don’t deserve it.
No need to apologize, it’s important to take care of yourself above all else. It’s really frustrating how so many people in the Digital Circus fandom have been acting as of late, stay safe!
I'm so sorry that you've been dealing with so much, I think you've handled everything honestly as best as you can given how ridiculous and shitty people are being. I hope you know that the love outweighs all of it though, and that you can recuperate and take care of yourself first and foremost.
Take it easy Gooseworx you really need to take a break from other social media not everyone in social media are gonna be nice.
You're the creator of your show and you shouldn't let anybody get to harsh on you all because you wanted to right your show in the way you wanted. You're the best creator.
Take it easy Goose. People have also been a bit much as well, please don’t stress! ❤️
I just got caught up on the hub bub, just awful. Please take the time you need, the internet is very very stupid.
Take all the time you need and remember that we all care about you and only want the best for you🫶🏻🫶🏻
Take care of yourself, Goose. I'm sorry people are being weird.... again...
Don't worry about Goose. 57% of those guys were trolls anyway. Just take care of yourself.
I'm so so sorry to hear about the rumors, Gooseworx. I'm just really affected with what's going on.
