It's interesting how a reason for a character doing what they do can also be closely related to worldbuilding, since characters' actions and motivations can be influenced by what's going on around them in terms of politics, history, factional stuff, etc... (and in the process, their own deeds end up contributing to that world too). I've noticed that sometimes in things like modern script-writing for shows, writers forget that bit, and their characters wind up acting in a bubble, with the outside world rarely affecting them and them rarely affecting their outside world. (Also, I saw your Barbie video a little while back and thought it was really fun. Keep up the good work!)

Wye Oak is so damn good. This is definitely my favorite of the DT novels, though I think you're the first person that I've seen that agrees with me. Every person I know always says Wizard & Glass.

Yes! This is what I was waiting for.

LOVED the song segment

My dude, I'm obviously binging your content, and it's kinda alarming when the next vid suddenly yells at me. It's not a big deal or nuthin', but could you pick a starting volume for everything so the vids are all even? I think you'd have to normalize it, at least and maybe something else. I am very tired and just ran out of brain cells. Ok, be well fellow book nerd!
