Silver Creator Award, Happy New Year and Farewell! 

As much as I love Gothic Homemaking, I think a travel show of strange and unusual things around the world would be awesome. Especial, if it's hosted by you. 😃👍🏼. Happy New Year!

The "farewell" scared me!!!

Voltaire: "We're only having this chat because of you viewers!" Me: "We're only here watching because your videos are so fun and interesting, so there!" -_^

I would kill to see you do a gothic baking thing when autumn draws back around

As much as I'm looking forward to "A light in the Shadows" please don't get rid of Gothic Homemaking I love that show.

You know Aurelio, the term "homemaking" involves more than just decorating. It can also involve party planning, dinner party ideas. Not just Halloween hauls, and diys. Although your haul videos are really informative and the diys are fun to watch. It would also be fun watching you plan a gothic "holiday" dinner, or a dinner for a non traditional goth holiday for your monster fiends. Just imagine a gothic Valentine's day, or a gothic spin on the 4th of July and such so you would be able to enjoy the holiday season and still do videos. But either way I will remain a loyal fan regardless of which direction you go with your channel. I would prefer you to publish videos you are proud of rather than videos you feel pressed into doing out of some obligation or another. Even if they are sporadic coming out. Apologies for such a late reply (2 months) but I only just found this video today. Even tho I have your channel marked for all notificarions.

I think that it would be awesome if you and Christine McConnell did a show together. 😊😍

It would be so cool if you got a Netflix show!! I disagree with that entertainment lawyer! I would watch the diy, shopping, and travel all in one show or three separate shows.

I love Gothic Homemaking but I would love to see a "Halloween Homemaking" 😁🖤 I hope everyone's year was wonderful and let's have another awsome gothic/mokhov year 🖤🖤🖤

The fact that you’d rather do quality over quantity speaks volumes! Others would just put out content to get more out there. Your videos are funny, entertaining and extremely inspirational and informative. Thank you for all you do for us.

The silver award matches your Lair's color scheme! Congrats!

"Monster-themed Broadway shows" *BEETLEJUICE* *BEETLEJUICE* *BEETLEJUICE*

I would have 1000% watch Halloween Homemaking, if you decide to follow through with it. I understand your plight about missing the festive joys of Autumn (the desert doesn't have much of that) and will say to make sure to take some time for that too. If it becomes part of one of your series, then I wouldn't object to that either. I'm very excited for Alight in the Shadows to air. There are so many places around the world to recommend going to see, there's just not enough time in the day for it. Keep doing what you do, and it'll make itself work out for the best with your needs and designs.

Congratulations! I loved all of your episodes and have gotten lots of inspiration. Don't apologize for being casual!

I just realized I need an Aurelio and Caitlin Doughty collab. I'm really looking forward to the NYC guide and all the other new content!

I would just like to say that your fan base is so proud of you. Ever since I heard your music in the background of an old Black Friday video, I've been hooked to your music, your sense of creepy Dad humor, your taste in fashion, and your want to show your creativity. You've worked so hard to get this far and we're all happy you never stopped. You kind of brought me into the Goth culture, expanding my mind on so many topics and adding on to my love of music. You're one of the big reasons I love the dark and strange, I even started playing guitar after hearing some of your world premiers, realizing that having a big band is nice, you can still have a good time with just your voice and a guitar. I hope you have a better year than the last and you really do feel proud of what you've accomplished.

That intro gave me a moment of anxiety.

Congratulations on the silver play button, V! Here’s to a great 2020! Cheers!

Long lasting happy new year my old friend we hope for more episodes and my old friend the year was lovely with you we hope to make 2020 brighter with you i wish to see you in 2020 of may and hoping that wish comes true my old friend you are the most precious person i hope you never ever stop you are a very caring person we have been through thick and thin i wish you and orville happy new year- From alice and her family

At this point with how things have changed on RU-vid, NOT seeing a clickbait title and/or thumbnail is what makes me more likely to click. Hope you have a better Halloween next year.

It is so nice to see you (and Orville) as dear friends speaking kindly to us! ❤

You know, V, as crazy busy as you are (and we are too) it's just fine whenever your vids show up. They're always worth the wait!

Congrats on the silver play button! I can't wait to see what gothic goodies this channel has planned for next year 🖤

I fell in love with your music on AQW and well, have enjoyed every ounce of your work since. edit: I'd love to see a your cooking recipes! And do what you want to do, if making the videos does nothing for you then don't make them. You have to do what makes you happy.

I only found this channel today. Loved his music since I was a kid, but I never knew how horrifically pleasant this guy is. He's just SO lovely, I can hardly contain myself.

YYYAAAYYY!!!🧛 AND NEW CHANGE LIGHT IN THE SHADOW!!!🧛 GO FOR IT!!!🧛 OK!!!🧛 YOUR VERY WELCOME!!!🧛

I enjoy your personality and humor. You are a man apart from all others. Your music and stories have been an inspiration to me and others I share with. I don’t look like a Goth on the outside as that is a part of myself that I protect. Now as for the show options totally keep Gothic home making. You should absolutely have a seasonal separate show immersing in what you love. No reason to not have both. Excited about the new travel show.

I love Voltaire! Thanx to Billy & Mandy, 🤘💜🤘 I'm a lifelong fan👻

Clicked faster because I wanted to hear "of 2019" after that farewell 😅😭

Congratulations on your award! I love how genuine you are. Most people on RU-vid you can’t tell how they feel but I felt it through my phone screen. My husband loves your Channel as well and we watched all of your videos from the very beginning. Thank you for doing what you do and know that your are very much appreciated. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Don't... don't.... don't end the Gothic Homemaking program.... Please! Instead of making a new program on just Halloween... make it a subset in the show or a feature... Like they do for "Christmas in July" ... I love the show.... Love your music lots ... Please don't ever go away. ♥️

So excited about "A light in the shadow" 🖤😘...definitely my style!!! You never bored us, beautiful creature of macabre 😉. Art never bores!! ..and let me say you have to feel completely free to follow your own path despite the thought of the majority. May 2020 bring you serenity in life and an infinite flow of creativity. In case you decide to book a live show in Italy , one day, I' ll be there , first row!!!

Please don't stop this show. I have learned so much. There is no other gothic diy show worth watching!

Phew, indeed. I'm glad that you are staying with us and that we get to hear your dulcet tones filling our ears, painting a picture of gothic life with your words :) To answer your question. I've enjoyed watching GH for 2-3 years now (I haven't really kept track of how long) and what appeals to me is your character, your persona, giving me a view into a gothic life. First through reclaiming your space and making it your own macabre domain and then by continuing, showing your taste in decoration and the people you show us. It's been great watching a goth so hands-on as yourself as well as snippets of the gothic world around you :D To me, the travel show with it's focus on the gothic, as well as the sometimes sinister or macabre beauty of nature, has been awesome. I want to keep seeing you make content, hopefully content that you enjoy. The Halloween shopping content has been good, but it did feel like it ate everything else around it. I'd have been just as happy with one or two summary of what's out there to buy videos as your, well put together, but essentially monothematic shopping explorations. I still watched and enjoyed, but your comment about missing out on doing the things you'd enjoy really made me wish I'd seen that. Baking a pumpkin pie, or a party with other bats. Well, as you yourself observe, conversations all too happily ramble on and get away from oneself. I hope this answer and thoughts helps you in your journey to follow your path. Carry on & keep creating. edit: The informal and welcoming tone of this video did no harm and was very enjoyable to me ;)

A light in the shadows is going to be amazing! Gothic homemaking is amazing just sprinkle Halloween homemaking videos throughout the year as well as "regular" gothic homemaking sounds perfect to me.

Thank you so much for all the love and care you put into your videos. You put so much effort into the content you create and it shows. We're all looking forward to your future videos and I would like to wish you a VERY happy new year!

Have a very Joyous, Safe, Prosperous, Healthy and Gothic New Year!!! Cheers! 😜🥂🎆🎉🖤 BTW, don't apologies for not putting out a video every week. As a creator myself I know how hard it is to not only think of something to do, find the time to do it, create and TRY to keep the city life and anything else from interfering in the making of the video (like noisy neighbors or city traffic noise outside your window). We get it. Plus, we also know you not only have a career outside of RU-vid but you are also engaged to get married. A wedding takes a lot of time and money. Where do you even find time to breath, Aurelio? WOW! LOL! Wishing you and your beloved a much easier, smother and successful New Year as well. 😉🖤

Congrats Voltaire, you deserve more than 100k subs! Im glad that I found your channel and that you have given me so much inspiration to decorate my lair. Thank you for bringing me joy when I have rough days!

Here's to new adventures! My little spooky family is EXCITED to see what comes next.🖤 Thank you so much Voltaire! And a shout out to Orville too!

Ive only just found your Chanel .. please don’t stop these gothichome decor .. i love your ideas.. RU-vid needs more channels like yours

Hey Voltaire! I've been following you for quite a while and one of the main reasons for that is that you are not a sell out. And i thank you for that so much! The best thing is that not only you are not a sell out, is that you realize what that means in a honest and realistic way, not like a teenager who hasn't smelled money and still thinks its the devil. We live in a consumer society, to want money is OKAY. But to still stand for what you want to do and believe in it, even managing to pay the bills by that - please do! And you, saying you have anxiety from youtube ratings... honestly, makes me so so happy! Because i have anxiety on everything that is not amazingly accepted that i do... and knowing people i love and admire go through the same and manage to be, well, somehow better.. THank you!!! Love you lots! And everybody, if you reached his comment - If you can, if you feel comfortable - go support the guy on Patreon. I think it matters more than youtube advertising money. Have an amazingly beautiful year!!

Happy New Year to My Capitan! Make what you love! Brad & I look forward to seeing you in a few months.

I love your Gothic Home Making series. I love to see the things you find, the things you make, and add to your surroundings. I think perhaps my own home is more on the "halloweenie" side, and I personally would prefer it to be Goth Elegant. I am buying Duncan Phyfe style pieces and restyling them to suit my own taste - thanks to watching your Gothic Home Making series giving me the courage to do it.

This gentleman comes across in such a humble and genuine way that you cannot not like this man. These one on one videos are captivating. I've always listened to his music but these videos are amazing. I would play "Goodnight Demon Slayer" (and sing along lol) to my daughter when she was an infant. Present day, everyday on our way home from school we both sing "The Night". It's her favorite song. Anyway, just wanted to say to you Mr. Hernández, THANK YOU for not only all your hard work over the years but for being a sincere human being. I wish you much success but above all, great health and true happiness!! Take care 🤙🏼

Always remember that your faithful fans will enjoy what ever you create.

Maybe not end Gothic Homemaking, but do a Halloween "chapter" for those months. You could also do different seasonal\holiday chapters . The travel show does sound amazing! Having a dark perspective bringing light to these places is refreshing. Travel tips for goths! Packing, surviving heat, healthy tips for being fit enough to hike-etc, avoiding pickpockets, stuff like that. Love all your work!

Dude. Gothic homemaking is more than shopping and hauls! Anything you do to and in your home is homemaking. I'd love to see you go all out during the spooky season! I wanna see how to throw a Halloween party. I wanna see like 1000 jack o lanterns carved! I wanna see how to hide the razorblades in the candy!! Oh, wait, I'm just thinking out loud now.😜 Keep it up, love it.

Do what you are inspired to do. I love everything about your style, presence, talent, music and art.

Quality beats schlock quantity every time.

I like the idea of a Halloween series. I’d watch 🖤 Also looking forward to the new show! Ready for 2020 with you!

I have followed you for years and the main reason is your infectious passion for what you love. A Halloween show is a tremendous idea as it will mean you continue doing what your passionate about and producing quality over quantity

And since it's Silver and Grey, it fits perfectly with your aesthetic.

I like you for you. Not clickbait videos!! You!! You do what you enjoy and I'm sure your followers will be happy!!!!

I would watch anything you make on youtube dearest one. You are apart of my life ♥ From Music to videos.. I absorb it! I love it.

🎉🖤🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🖤🎉 🖤🖤And Congratulations!🖤🖤 P.S. I got my librarian brother to get Candy Claws in the children's section of our county library. Love you Voltaire!🖤

Awesome! Congrats! I can't wait to see what 2020 brings for Gothic Homemaking!!!

Stay as you are and dont let anybody change you!!! Keep doing videos and vlogs with which YOU are satisfied and happy with!!! Happy New Year to you!!! ✨✨✨

Thank you for sticking with us! Have a blast editing and I hope that it all goes well. Happy New Year!

"Halloween homemaking" sounds great, but don't change the name of the segment, maybe just add a dash or hyphen to the name ("Gothic Homemaking presents: Halloween HM") keep up the good work and Happ New year!

The Anthony Bourdain of Goth: Body Parts Unknown

It would be great if you had Christine McConnell as a guest.

Yay! I'm only 99,860 subs away from getting my play button! Those pillows are on fire ! Thank you for Gothic Homemaking!!!

I am truley excited for A Light In The Dark and i have to say that i love your show it have been a inspiration for me all these years. I have seen them all!!

I love gothic homemaking, but then again I love everything you make, so the Halloween show sounds great!

Congrats Voltare you greatly deserve it.

I wish I could live in New York at least for a while, even with all the negatives. Can't wait for that episode! Thank YOU for all the great work you do!

That brief moment of panic when my net blipped and the last loaded bit was "last Gothic Homemaking episode-" Spectrum did give me a frighten.

Seeing more episodes of Gothic Homemaking would be awesome, as I myself love the DIY projects and furniture shopping videos, but I'm definitely not complaining about a travel show or Halloween show (about time there was a year-round Halloween!) The comparison to Anthony Bourdain really suits you, as you are very appreciative of different cultures and the quirks within them, just geared towards the more spooky stuff. Keep being awesome Voltaire!

I think it would be cool to see a Robin Leach Lifestyles type video where you show us the gothic homes that are inspired, homes of influential goths, and historical goth homes. Love the travelogue shows, highly interested in unique cultural themes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights into the gothic world. Congrats on your award, it was truly deserved.

While a semi-consistent schedule is indeed important, its also even more important that you make the content YOU want to make even if it might not reach the views you were hoping for. The interesting thing about the Internet is that even content that might not have much of an audience now might suddenly get a big surge of attention months/years later, so dont be afraid to just post content as long as you enjoyed making it.

Congratulations on your award. Thank you for hanging in there. How you find stuff to talk about with touring and traveling I will never know!

Do whatever makes you happy because we are hooked on your personality!!

Thank YOU for putting up an amazing years worth of content! You didn’t have to make this video, but you did and that just shows what kind of an amazing person you are. To answer your question about the Halloween episodes! In my opinion, I feel maybe release a Gothic Homemaking every month/2 months leading up to October. Then, let’s say from September 30th to November 1st, you release videos every week/2 weeks all about Halloween! They could be short, amazing videos or long epic pieces! But again, thank you for such fantastic content! Be well, take time out for yourself and enjoy your New Year with all our gothic love! 🖤

Hello hello Aurelio Voltaire I am enjoying your videos keep up the good work Aurelio Voltaire.😊😊😊😊😊😊

I have been watching this show for at least a year or so and have ate up every second. I LOVE the idea and execution of it. Thank you for entertaining us, making us laugh and giving us a spooky place to come home too and feel welcome. Lots of luck and love for you and your 2020 adventures. 🖤🦇🕸

Light in the shadows would be also interesting

While I am sad I did not start watching LoV when it started, so excited go be part if it for 2020

Thanks for creating your shows! I agree you are the Anthony Bourdain of Goth. Love him! You would rock a travel channel. I look forward to seeing new episodes. Happy New Year!

Your videos or you talking about something can never be boring, you're too interesting person to being able to be boring!🥰🙃💜

I really like your informal chats. I'd like a few more, honestly. It's really nice to just sit back and listen to you talk about, well anything really.

I would genuinely watch a gothic travel show by Voltaire. I finished Dark Tourist on Netflix, and it's the type of content I love, but the host barely had the same level of charisma that Voltaire has in just his pinky toe.

I love your videos, not just the homemaking series but the music, the behind the scenes, even interviews on other channels. Congrats on getting the award, or at least unboxing it finally. Perhaps create an episode where you build a flat coffin to display it on the wall.

🖤💜🖤 Happy New Year to you and your lovely lady! I hope this new year brings exciting new adventures to you both.🖤💜🖤

I would 100% watch gothic decor videos outside Halloween, when I too am too busy for RU-vid. Also, as someone who majored in anthropology and a long time fan of Anthony Bourdain, I’m excited about this potential new direction! 🖤🖤🖤

Can't wait to see A Light in the Shadows!!!

The gothic homemaking series I love! The travel show idea is also amazing.

My favorite videos are the ones where you pick an item you want to make and you showcase the places that sell similar items or sell really interesting supplies. My absolute favorite video of yours was where you searched for a human skull. I am really looking forward to A Light in the Shadows. I tell people about your videos all the time. Wish you had more views, but you know, even when you start to get more views on average you will always thirst for more. If you have 100k on average, you’ll think “yeah, but that other one got 500k.” Be happy and do what you love. Your fans are fiercely loyal and we love that your authenticity and passion show through in all you do. And congratulations on the RU-vid award.

Congratulations, you magnificent devil! I'm really glad for you. You have brought joy to so many with your music and your special brand of style and humor; myself included.

Congratulations!! I can't wait to see you in February! Where I will congratulate you even more. Hope you have a good new year!

Congrats, Fairy Goth Dude! Ive been watching your videos, music and books for YEARS!! Happy early birthday ( yours is a day after my own lol) Stay motivated and dark!!🦇🦇🖤🖤

I can't wait to see your new show! And, if nothing else, I can finally start following you Gothic Homemaking advice in 2020, because before that I was just so excited to see all the ideas you had in store, I couldn't just pick one! Best of the best in 2020 to you too, I hope our comments bring you at least half as much joy, as your videos and jokes do to us.

Just take us with you on your journey and gothic homemaking every once in a while

Your videos are great! I enjoy your humor, honesty and creativity. That’s what makes it enjoyable.

Some cemeteries are really breathtaking, plus I am a fan of medieval, gothic and Victorian architecture. I recommend "panteón de Belén" in the city of Guadalajara in México. Looking forward to your amazing new work, Happy New Year,Aurelio my best wishes to you!!!

It's disappointing that you're so talented, your show is ready for TV, you're a great visual, musical, and acting talent but haven't been picked up. I can see your shows on several cable channels especially as a Halloween special. Hopefully something comes through, you deserve it.

The farewell scared me as well! Also, I will watch whatever you put out and enjoy it! Just make what you want and what you enjoy!

Honestly your videos have given me so much inspiration and so much positivity in my life, I can’t thank you or this community enough! As for your new adventures, we all can’t wait to see!

hey, Voltaire I hope you see this but , do you remember that episode of Milly and Mandy with the Brains song I have been looking for you for 3 and a half years, thank you for making your music you make life a joyful place.

Such fantastic ideas! I’m all for a Halloween based show. Can’t wait to see your NYC travels as I live in New York. Also looking forward to your new travel show. I like the strange and unusual! Love & Light 💜🖤

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY BAT FRIENDS HOPE ALL YOUR LITTLE WINGS COME TRUE
