Update on Patreon subscription changes – A Plan!
🕑 Added 2024-08-13 15:00:08 +0000 UTCTL,DR: We've got a plan for how to transition from Per-Creation to Per-Month charges. Starting in January, we're essentially bumping up all of the tiers by 1, numbers are listed below.
Hi Patrons! Two update posts in two days, exciting!
We appreciated everyone's feedback yesterday on the potential tier reshuffling (thank you Tim Apple) and we've got a plan for how to go about this:
For the rest of 2024, nothing's changing.
In January of 2025, we'll update to per-month and start the year off fresh, rather than change everything in the middle of the year.
The tiers and rewards will be as follows:
$1 – Circle 1: Limbo – The Tip Jar, access to posts for new videos and seasonal updates, access to merch discounts and special bonus merch in The Vault.
$5 – [Title TBD] – The AASS tier, access to the After After Show Show.
$10 – Five Man Band – The Art Zone, access to weekly preview posts every monday, and monthly wallpaper packs with frames from that month's videos, plus sneak peeks of upcoming topics for the new month. Due to inflation, each member of the 5-Man Band is worth $2, please send your regards to Mr Wukong.
$25 – Achilles Blanket Fort – Name In The Credits, your name will be in the credits of each video.
$50 – Trickster Deities – Bigger Name In The Credits, your name will be prominently displayed in the big main column of each video's credits.
Essentially, we're shifting up the tiers a bit, but they're not all going up by the full 4x. Five-Man Band and Trickster Deities become 2x the current weekly level, and Achilles Blanket Fort becomes 2.5x the current weekly level. We support patrons setting monthly caps on charges (plz always prioritize your own financial well-being), so we hope this updated tier layout keeps people in the ballpark of what they're paying now.
Another benefit to keeping the tier levels largely where they are is minimizing friction during the switch, because everyone will still be in a tier afterwards and nobody will get booted into the Phantom Zone because a tier disappeared.
If this setup sounds good to you, please let us know. If you have a suggestion for modifications, please let us know about that too!
This also means we have one new tier to name! Comment with your suggestions for an AASS-specific tier name and we'll go from there.
We are so tremendously grateful to you all for supporting us, thank you for bearing with us as we navigate these changes. We obviously aren't thrilled with the circumstances of this change, but we feel confident in this new setup and hope you do too.

I know i am very late to this party, but i have a suggestion for a reward for thelowest tier: the fan art indigo receives "on her desk by monday". I am so curious about the creativity of this community
wqwq
I completely agree
Lauren Rose
tier name idea, Time Traveling Goatfish
Kura
How about Awesomely Analyzing Serious Silliness?
Jon Zachrisson
AASSgardians? That or "Reds coffe enthusiasts"
CritterKeeper
I'm torn between the After After Show Show Tier Tier and something along the lines of Good Domes!
CritterKeeper
I love After-After-Show-Show-Tier-Tier!
Jean-Bastien Joly
I mean, AASS for tier 2 seems fine. ^^

Happy Happy Joy Joy for After After Show Show

Well... I have limited my Subscription to once a month anyway, because I'm poor and the only thing I'm here for is the AASS... so MY subscription is now going up by a factor of 5. Really wish you would just keep The AASS in the $1 tier. maybe put the merch discount and vault access on $5 instead?
Alex Paulson
Omg yes Seekers of AASS please!
Willow River
AASS tier new tagline: “according to Red and Blue, an OSP podcast shouldn’t have happened. But podcasts don’t care what Red and Blue think so it happened anyway.”
Shortstop
For the AASS tier, the only name I can come up with at the moment is "Gluteus Maximus"
Andrew P
How about “Bad AASS” or something to that effect?
The Yaki
For the new tier OSP cake club, for I am a child and Indigo yelling CAKE! lives free in my brain.
A_Legitimate_Salvage
I'll throw in a couple more really bad ideas: - AASS Holes - Seekers of AASS - After-After-Show-Show-Tier-Tier (shamelessly stolen from Martin Cutcher) If we want something a bit less crass, might I suggest "Patreon Screwed Up Our Subscriptions And All We Got Was A New Tier" or "Enter the Chaos Realm"?
MischiefSpirit
Okay, but what if the $5 tier list’s name was an A Midsummer Night’s Dream reference. You know, because Nick Bottom.
Doron Pinkas
I kind of like leaving the 5$ tier as [title TBD], but that just ne my dumbass sense of humor
Steffi Krenn
As I do not have too much disposable income i am very thankful that you still plan on a relatively affordable tier to still be able to access the AASS, as I enjoy this so much. My creativity fails me, but i likes the "AASSgardians" idea also something pod-specific could be nice.
Cat DeMira
Seems smart as always; I'm on board. I vote Shenaniganery as a name, purely because it's such a good word.
John Bate
*whispers into hole in ground* King Midas is AASS’ tier
ConiferRobinHood
Island of the AASS eaters [katopin katopin ekompi ekompi phagi? (as a possible transliteration)]; Much Ado About Anything; Exeunt: Cursed by Thoughts; Tragedy of Errors; Aces Up The Sleeve and their straight friend; “After the storm, I see again some Ace-holes” (Hegelochus joke in the year 2024 BCE, more likely than you think); or the Wooder Dwellers. Otherwise I like the Ninja AASSassins.
Martin Cutcher
My only idea for the AASS tier is the After-After Show-Show Tier-Tier
Jordan
Ok I hate that I have to suggest this, but something about Theseus’ severed buttcheeks? They got stuck in the underworld with Pirithous for eternity, I assume they could use all the content they can get their hands on.
JM
Sounds like a solid plan, and with the expanded benefits I'll probably have to up my subscription! Thank you for being so professional and transparent through this process.
JannyMeow
Sounds good! As for names, I'm gonna have to second The Time Heist (or perhaps Time Heisters?) from further up. My favourite bit <3
JannyMeow
Oh shit, really?
Atomic_ luck
Gald to see this and honestly i really like this structure. My offer title would probably be "Ninja AASSassins" cuz it's such an old joke like the other titles and works well the name u know?
John Moseman
This sounds good to me! The only name I can think of is Time Heist.
Kalia Grey
Lagoon Boys
Gremlin of the Caves
Maybe the AASS tier title could have something to do with the Chorus?
Gabriel
Part of me wants it's an ASMR Pun. AASSMR? ....that looks weird though
Charles Bellows
I like this plan. Some tier names: Dome Enthusiasts, Venicians, AASSgardians
Sam Fisher
You can cap it at 5/video but at only 2x a month
Sam Fisher
I think a diatribe-related joke would be best for the name because the tier is specifically access to the AASS, which is just more discussion. Call it "The Cleo Cameo".
Maria Annette
Personally, I think "Dome-ier Domes" or "Vembis" would be nice. Or something related to Blue's content in general.
- Indra -
I think the Doneky tier would be a fun name for the new tier lol
Yukiarashi
This works for me
StitchWitch
I'm happy to have a new intermediate tier. I'm willing to pay more than $1/video but $5/video was too much for me.
Courtney Rayle
Sounds good. Will the tiers automatically bump up for people, or do we need to re-subscribe to what our current tiers have become? (Sorry if this was answered already. I am in an all-day meeting and sleep-/brain-deprived already. 🥱)
NightRocker13
I'll definitely be updating my sub cause I joined for the AASS. I'd like to add my support to Brett Dufault's suggestion of AASSgard.
deadcard13
How about Apollo's Awesome Sun Supporters? Though, if I'm being honest, calling us the AASS tier patron's feels more on brand.
Kenna
This sounds fantastic. Thank you for considering all of the feedback; I think you made an excellent decision. That said, we do understand that this is an adjustment on your side too. If by March or so, you feel like the tiers aren't working the way you hoped, please don't hesitate to make adjustments. As for the AASS tier, a part of me wants to suggest Badaass as a nod to Indigo's status as OSP's bad boy 😂
Katharina
Also: damn, you guys work fast!
Anthony Victor
Could make the AASS tier the "let's wrap it up" tier, or the "Red's drink corner" tier.
Haiz
I think these look great! Idk if there's any osp references related to Warm Drinks or like a stop along the road for naming purposes...
Salvatore Corasaniti
I vote for something related to Cleo (the Cleo Guild, Brotherhood of Cleo, etc.)
Brett Dufault
Sounds like a good plan to me! And I'm gonna pitch some variant of "AASS Guard" / "AASSGard" for the new level.
AngelFace
For the AASS-specific tier, my vote would probably be something along the lines of Ring Side seat to the Pope Fight, Venetian Gondola Ride, or DOME 😁
William Warren
Good point, well sold.
Overly Sarcastic Productions
The Lancer would like you to know his cost is actually $9 by himself and the other 4 members are worth 25 cents each. -B
William Warren
Sounds like a good plan that should cover all bases. $2 per 5 man band though? Outrageous! Not even a buy 4 get 1 free offer smh 🤦♂️ this is why I go Achilles
Red Cheshire
Maybe the AASS tier could be the "Insomniac" tier or "Cleo Buddy"? I'm just spitballing here, take it as it is ^^;
Katharina
Dunno what you mean by TBD, the AASS Tier is a great title 😂 Plan sounds good to me :)
Relsee
AASS brigade
Zachary Grimm
Glad to see you’ve found a way to make things work!
Christopher Hearthstone
Seems like a good plan to me! And I cannot wait to see what you name the AASS tier because I’ve got nothing 😆
