Dear Johanna, I like the new additions to your city and I'm glad you found new inspirations and time to build something new and enjoying it. Speaking of enjoying, I totally get the pressure you feel about posting on TH-cam. But you don't have to stress yourself. Your videos are always quality content and not about quantity. I take 5 videos a year you like to make over any amount of videos you feel pressure to make, anytime. You've build a great community and I'm glad to be a part of it. And your community is growing, even when you are posting less then before. This proves my point. Big hug, Thorsten (T Lac)
I would love to see you put out a 10 part series on LEGO 1x1 plates! Kidding! :P I am just happy with whatever you post, whenever you want to post it... as long as it makes you happy! Your city is creative, has a treasure trove of stuff to be inspired by, and your knowledge about, and passion for LEGO is wonderful to listen too.
I only found the channel a few months ago after being a recent and late convert to modulars, buildings, city (previously investing my money in 18+, Creator expert, IDEAS, ICONS cars). I've already been through a lot of your back catalogue, love the channel, your enthusiasm, and creativity. Great to see new content. Take care and health and wellbeing comes first.
Good to see you again! Your city looks lovely! Great expansion with the friends adventure sets, so much details als always. Take your time and pace. So much change over the last years with the city and your personal life and we're all here as patient as ever to share our thoughts and buildings with you and the lovely members of your discord! Never forget, it's your time and you have to enjoy it the way you like.
Hi Johanna, good to see you again! With a clear message, thanks for sharing. Sounds to me like you are getting the best direction for the channel, namely the one where you keep happy and sane. I also think you look different and fresh in this video, compared to the previous image i have. Maybe the burnt-out aura is gone? (If it was of course, i am stopping myself from actually looking back at the previous videos.) Looking back at the older thumbnails, an obvious difference is that you seem to have new glasses, they suit you well! The city updates look pretty, you are doing yourself proud.
Hi Johanna! It’s so wonderful to see you back-I so enjoy watching your videos. I understand the need to take a step back and focus on just your personal joy with Lego and not being bogged down by the need to film frequent videos. One of the reasons I so enjoy and subscribed to you is that you have such a genuine joy in building Lego, and that always come across in your videos. If making frequent vids diminishes that joy, then I totally get why you want to step back. Also, I completely respect your decision to not do sponsored videos anymore. I’ve always found sponsored vids to be a bit problematic. There are other TH-camrs who do that (JangBricks for example), and they are quite successful. Wishing you all the best from here in the US, and I so look forward to seeing more pics of your awesome city and MOCs! ~Les
Great to see your city again here 🤩 I have the luxury of seeing your progress on the Discord. Still, seeing it here talked about is also very nice. As always, feel your own flow when making your vids. We wait patiently and are just happy when something new arrives. No pressure Johanna is a good energy to watch 😊
Good that you start enjoying Lego again and decide what is good for you and what you would like to do. I love your videos and it doesn’t depend on numbers of videos but on your person, your honesty and the content itself. It’s your life! And I love our discord community, so glad we can continue to have fun. Thanks for all you have done for us !
Your city looks absolutely stunning, it has been great to follow and watch how you first created the Lego room that your in now, you've both worked extremely hard on getting it how it looks today, brilliant!. Always give your own mental health the priority to breathe, your hobby should make you happy, and produce content when it suits you, your supporters will always be here. Always be happy, we only get one life, so enjoy it. Sending love and best wishes.🫶
Hi! it's so lovely to see you back again. I've always admired your ability to blend landscape, you've alwats been a source of inspiration for me. Looking forward to see what you do in the future without brand obligations.
Even if you aren't actively making videos all of your older videos are still here. So people can still discover your channel and enjoy the older videos. Love the updates to your city. Love that you are figuring out what works best for you. ❤ No pressure but I wouldn't be mad at a vlog... maybe seeing a kitty or husband around. You could talk about Friends Lego and Harry Potter Lego... I love those themes. All the best!
I did not mind the sponsored content since I felt you gave honest opinions about the things you received. So if you want more things, just go with it :-) But as you said, only if it is worth it to you. Also, good that you take back the fun in Lego for yourself. That is how you started. I can still remember you sitting next to the small table reviewing harry potter sets that you re-aquired.
Great video, thank you. The city looks amazing - can’t wait to see what building occupies the space between the parks. Perhaps the new burrow? I think you’re expert at creating beautiful intricate city with intriguing stories in very small spaces - so a video on how to make the best of very little space would be good eg your amazing Japanese paper shop tucked into the street! But no pressure! Less frequent uploads just makes them more special
Great to see you! Wow! Those friends sets look REALLY great together! ….what about making it a bit of a forest, I was going to say use the A Frame Cabin & Treehouse but I don’t believe you still have the treehouse & I think the A Frame may look a bit out of scale amongst the cabins- which would just lead to immense amounts of work just for a corner of your city, so.. I’m all in for Nooks Cranny. I’ve never once played or even watched anyone play Animal Crossing- but those sets are starting to grow on me a bit. I love what you did with the ice cream shop & your current bubble tea shop! I love love love looking through your city, it’s soooooo inspirational and gets my brain actually thinking along the lines of what I want mine to eventually look like & what I might want to add in or even designs of walkways or foliage that I hadn’t thought of- it’s like my brain is a cluttered mess & then taking a trip thru your city is the super detailed car wash- errrrrr, brain wash.. wow this comment is not working the way I originally intended it to! lol. I’d edit it but then where’s the fun/insanity that go along with my novel-length comments?? It’s like a long hot relaxing shower, for my brain. Like, I feel better now- so, thank you for the update- I clearly will need to watch a few more (*cough-hundred*) hours of your city in order to get my mind fully back to functioning! ANYWAY, it’s lovely as always to see you, I’d love to hear about the new(est) Ministry of Making moc you’ve got sitting there, I LOVE that building- the colors are so refreshing! Please never feel pressured from your subscribers or members about content- I think we all can (most of us) understand and relate to needing a bit of a step back, especially from a full time work week plus building then recording & editing & publishing- it’s no easy task by any means! I also don’t think you would ever need to specifically go out and buy any lego sets etc if you felt like doing a livestream- I’ve found some livestreams where people are just sorting their bricks, talking about whatever is going on- kinda like if you’re hanging out with friends only you’re responding to a chat or you could even stream with other members or friends- OMG I just had an idea- remember those painting classes pre-pandemic that were like “drink wine & paint a portrait” at a local place? I don’t drink, but what if you decided-at some point whenever you might feel up for it, could be next decade, I’m just throwing this out there..- to just do a livestream over a certain amount of time & whomever wanted to participate could- and at the end of it, everyone just shows off their builds? Like, “what can we build in 45 mins?” Or something.. it could be interesting lol. This is way too long, so I’m going to shut up. Definitely would love to hear your thoughts on the new and upcoming Harry Potter stuff, I’ll have to finally go on the discord, but please don’t feel pressured ever to put content out- and if you feel like just working in your city, there are plenty of us who would love to just watch you build or hear how you decide where buildings & walkways and all of the foliage etc will go.. tutorials on trees would be amazing lol, but that’s just me. I hope you are well!
So great to see an update from you Johanna!! 😍 We mentioned you very briefly on a stream (all good things obv) recently wondering where you had gone and that we missed you, but im so glad to hear it was so you could take a break from being burnt out 🩷 super super excited for what's to come for your channel, and massive congrats on 15k 🎉
Love the row you added in front of the buildings. The park areas, botanical set, plaza and skate park give it such a nice and complete city feel. And the adventure park looks so much fun.
🎉 I really enjoy your content and opinions and your genuine joy for the hobby. You give me so many ideas 💡. Thank you for all you do and most importantly take care of you 💖
Your builds are always fantastic- I would love to see more how you build (techniques etc) but this might not be what you want to do. Isn’t that the whole dilemma that you are battling with. As you explained you need to do what inspires you and not feel guilty as that can be exhausting. You are on your way again as you are a strong person, everyone does not have to follow the same path in the Lego you tube world. Have a great week
Have you considered streaming LEGO deconstructions? As a focus you could talk about what you liked and didn’t like about the set and what you might do differently. And, of course, you can branch out to whatever else you feel like talking about. Admittedly, I don’t know how much time you spend taking apart LEGO creations. I have limited space so I am slways taking apart sets before I put up other sets as I rotate through my collection but you may operate completely different.
I am curious as to your approach to what goes in your city, and where. As a city newbie I ran out and just kind of picked up whatever seemed interesting at the time, but now struggle to make it look cohesive. I am curious if you have a strategy for curating your city. Anyway I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to future updates.

It has been ages, but good things come to those who wait!!! And my favorite background music to boot!!
@@broncsddt I may or may not have added that with you in mind 😅

Out of all the LEGO cities i've seen here on youtube, yours seems the most... alive? And very cozy

Great to see the city again. New glasses really suit you
Great city update i have been a member of your channel for 3 years now
Good to see you Im really impressed with your collection and creations
So great to see an update from you Johanna!! 😍 We mentioned you very briefly on a stream (all good things obv) recently wondering where you had gone and that we missed you, but im so glad to hear it was so you could take a break from being burnt out 🩷 super super excited for what's to come for your channel, and massive congrats on 15k 🎉
Ohhhh looks fabulous. Great tooo see how it’s evolved. Love the friends campment.
Love the row you added in front of the buildings. The park areas, botanical set, plaza and skate park give it such a nice and complete city feel. And the adventure park looks so much fun.
🎉 I really enjoy your content and opinions and your genuine joy for the hobby. You give me so many ideas 💡. Thank you for all you do and most importantly take care of you 💖
One of the subjects I like the most is when you talk about/recommend/show mocs that are available on Rebrickable. I also like the info on light kits
Welcome back, 🎉 great to see you have found your mojo
Your builds are always fantastic- I would love to see more how you build (techniques etc) but this might not be what you want to do. Isn’t that the whole dilemma that you are battling with. As you explained you need to do what inspires you and not feel guilty as that can be exhausting. You are on your way again as you are a strong person, everyone does not have to follow the same path in the Lego you tube world.
Have a great week
its nice to see your reclaiming and keeping your hobby for you.
Great video - love yourself, enjoy your hobby and share what you like ❤
You could add a flame piece to the top of the half burnt marshmallow!😊 (if you have any)
looking forward to see what you do in the future. going to be here for the long haul.
Your Lego room looks Great ! Thanks for sharing. 💕
Have you considered streaming LEGO deconstructions? As a focus you could talk about what you liked and didn’t like about the set and what you might do differently. And, of course, you can branch out to whatever else you feel like talking about.
Admittedly, I don’t know how much time you spend taking apart LEGO creations. I have limited space so I am slways taking apart sets before I put up other sets as I rotate through my collection but you may operate completely different.
Beautiful city!! 🎉
what you have done with the smaller city buildings and the friends sets are fantastic.
You have to be true to yourself ❤! Lego is for your own pleasure❤
Enjoy your content, at whatever pace is sustainable for you.
Wow! Just wow! 😮
I am curious as to your approach to what goes in your city, and where. As a city newbie I ran out and just kind of picked up whatever seemed interesting at the time, but now struggle to make it look cohesive. I am curious if you have a strategy for curating your city. Anyway I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to future updates.
I love a flying tiger! If only they sold discounted LEGO... I can wish.
Keep on doing what you like Johanna 🎉
I thought at the start it was Harry Potter with the new glasses. Great City update.
Love your content! ❤
Looks great 👍👍
Looks good, are you coming back to Bricktastic in Feb?
Is there a link for the Ministry of Making MOC?
Apologies, yes I forgot: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-163428/MinistryOfMaking/diagon-alley-quality-q-supplies-daily-prophet-modular/#details
You look older than ever, it's been yearsssss, whyyyy goddess whyyy
