Box Peek is finally completed!

It's been two and a half years since we funded this project here on Patreon. While a lot of people say it's clear from the product that a lot of time and effort went into everything, to me the real reason this has taken so long is simply depression. Kyle Bosman minus depression probably would have wrapped this thing up in a few months and also remembered to put all the actors in the credits correctly, but lately I'm not sure Kyle Bosman minus depression will ever exist, so we're all stuck with me. I definitely took too long to accomplish this goal, but hey I still accomplished a goal, and in a way I'm feeling more confident in taking on future ill-advised goals.

My biggest takeaway from this last day of reading comments has been an unexpected feeling of gratitude. Specifically I just feel appreciated. I made a weird, funny, and unhappy thing and other humans get it and like it. It's a unique feeling in my life and I realize it's probably also incredibly rare for anyone to get to feel this way. After Episode 10 more than any other, I'm grateful. (Even for the people who hate the ending)

Also! Attached to this post you'll find each script. I can't promise they'll have professional educational value but might be fun if you're curious how things evolved during production. Please note that cut lines are non-canon. Bronze Fang has a name in episode 8 but we decided that was too cheap. I promise that's not his name.

Anyway thanks for humoring me with this stuff. This community has been overly patient and supportive, and I appreciate that for its rarity too. Deeply grateful shoutouts to Amanda Troop for forming Box Peek into what it is, Luke Arnold for saying Yes to a tiny dumb project and then also giving the realest writing feedback I could have asked for, all the Easy Allies for taking their goofy roles seriously and being nice whenever I tried to explain how much longer Box Peek is going to take, FantomenK for producing a legitimate dream theme song, Sean, Elyse and AJ for doing guest roles in something that surely sounded insane in an email, and my friends and family who support me more than anyone could deserve.

And thank you, person who read this whole thing. I got to write, film, and edit my own commercially unviable series and it's hard to imagine any of that happening without this patreon and community. I might be constantly depressed out of my mind, but that makes these small moments of contentedness pretty special.

A thousand thanks,
Kyle

Incredible to see this through to the end!

I want to give you the biggest hug, Kyle. I'm so proud of you. I hate that you suffer through depression but I'm glad that you're working through it in some way. You are incredibly talented and a pleasure to experience. You deserve all the praise. I'm glad that you realize that you are appreciated and admired. Please, never doubt that. You touch so many people that you'll never meet. Keep up the good work, sir.

Kyle, the fact that you talk so candidly about your mental state is one of the reasons why we all love you so much. Take care of yourself, man. Can’t wait for the next great thing from you, no matter how long it takes :)

It's been a hell of a ride. Thank you, Kyle, for all the hard work and also in sharing your thoughts in these posts along the way. You really are an inspiration for people like me who sometimes can't see the forest for the trees when trying to push through and grind to get 'the big project' done, amidst a near-constant feeling of anxiety and gloom. Now put your feet up, get the Mountain Dew ready and enjoy the holidays. You've more than earned it.

Loved every single second of this project, Kyle. I'm so glad you are picking up the appreciation the community is putting down for you and everyone involved, it's so well deserved. L&R

If I didn't know anything about you, Kyle, I probably would have hated the ending. But knowing just the little bit that I do from watching Easy Allies for the last couple years, I loved it and couldn't have expected anything else.

Love you, Kyle! Lord knows you've helped some of us through tough spots without even knowing, so I'm glad you feel this way about Box Peek- you deserve it

Depression's a bitch, and I know it all too well as it's burned a huge chunk of my 20's. Regardless of the time it took though, I'm glad you pulled through. I'll admit that it took a little time to wrap my head around the series finale, but I'm also glad you went that direction. You've made something, accomplished a monumental task, and that's a lot more than many can say.

I didn't comment previously so I will take this time now. Kyle, Box Peek is fun. It's dumb, but it's so much fun. I've been a huge fan of yours in particular for years. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I know I'm not the only one online who really loves you. You bring a smile to my face whenever I see you on the new podcast, stream, etc. Box Peek was that times a thousand because it has always been one of the most Kyle Bosman things you've done. Thank you for that. Finally, I know you are going to take some time off of personal projects like this. But when the time comes for something new, remember that you have so many fans who will be here to support you and make dumb jokes, and maybe even draw fan art because it's all so much fun. Kyle, you're fun and you make it easier to deal with my own depression just watching you be you.

I loved the whole show is awesome! I always keep an eye open for whatever you are doing because you are talented, maybe because you live in a town where everyone is making stuff you might think that your stuff is not all that, but I live in Mexico and this was the only piece of media that I care to watch the day of the release and you are the only creator that I bother to write a comment, your creativity is all that for sure.

Kyle, I never liked Box Peek, but the ending changed my mind. Congratulations on finishing this long project!

This series has produced a much stronger emotional reaction in me than I thought it would, and I'm almost certain that's because I have an attachment to Easy Allies and to you Kyle, starting from watching your Megaman Legends stream years ago, through all the bits and podcasts and dumb games. We aren't friends and I know nothing of your personal life, but from one human being to another I would like to say thank you, and please take care of yourself. These are just words on a screen but they come from a real place, from someone who has also had to live to with depression.

I had a milkshake today in honor of Box Peek. Thank you for all the laughs and all the weirdness Kyle!

The show was great. I was definitely one of the many people who were disappointed when you decided not to resurrect The Final Bosman in some way after GT ended (or continue Bosman at home). But after seeing Box Peek, I'm happy that you trusted your gut and gave yourself more time to expand your creative output. The series was above and beyond what I could imagine being done with paper puppets and is truly unique. Hope you take a well deserved break and soak in all the accolades. Bosman + Depression makes better content than Bosman not doing anything, so don't worry about your pace. Good luck with the game awards and I look forward to seeing you streaming in 2020!

Well done, Kyle! I'm casting my mind all the back to episode one, which I really liked, but I actually remember thinking "huh, gotta say I was expecting more of a dark Bosman twist"! Of course you sucked me in with the early jolliness, such that I really felt the weight of the turn in episode six/seven! Peak Ref 12's story really affected me (incredible work from Ian on VO there). While my initial reaction to the finale was "Kyle, no", it's actually really sitting with me. It asks the question, "why do we put so much of our identity in things that don't give lasting happiness?" In its own small way, it's doing something similar to Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde", which builds up this magnificent, utterly beguiling image of romantic love, only to tear it down pretty brutally at the last moment: it redirects us towards divine love, but the doomed fantasy still lingers in our imaginations. I like to think something of the fantasy of Box Peek still haunts CD and Kazomi, even after Jordi punctures it.

Thanks, Kyle. It was a very weird series. I enjoyed it a lot. I also appreciate all the work you put into it, and look forward to whatever you do in the future. With Box Peek, I realize that that could literally be anything, so I will try not to guess or hypothesize.

The value of Kyle Bosman has nothing to do with the presence or absence of depression. It has to do with the heart, the perception, and the talent that were all at their height in the making of Box Peek. I know it has been a struggle which is why I'm so glad that you got so much out of it yourself. This was an amazing achievement and thank you for letting us share the ride with you. Whatever you decide to do next, I can only say good luck, Kyle Bosman. You've got a lifelong fan.

I said as much in the backer survey, but I finally became a patron a year ago because I just had to support Box Peek after watching season one (and I had to get me some Fancy Fifteen). After seeing the finale I can say that I'm proud to have contributed what little I could. To further years of making the commercially unviable viable! *clink*

Hey Kyle, I just wanted to mirror so much of what has been said elsewhere across the community. I love the show of Box Peek. I tried to give a shoutout wherever my voice would be heard, from Community Showcases across the months, in the company of my extended family, other friends and elsewhere on the internet. Truly there is so much love and care that has gone into every aspect of this show. I’m a sucker for happy endings, but I want to stress the value of sad, more poignant endings because they often allow for greater reflection of the journey as a whole. I think it’s compelling, and interesting, and we can’t help but remember the Box Peek adventure that so many lovely characters got to take. As an art graduate, what has always helped me stay motivated to create work is deadlines (not saying that BP would have, or that you would have benefited from them, just commenting on the idea of productivity), which is why I love the Community Showcase so much, as it helps motivate me to make stuff where I otherwise would not. I find so much value, and I know you’ve commented on this in the past with regards to The Final Bosman, and how a weekly schedule engendered productivity. I actually feel a great deal of kinship in the Magna Soldiers montra when it comes to just making something and getting it out there. Yes there will be flaws, but to create and learn and grow is so much more valuable than just stagnating and not producing anything at all, but as long as you fight for your love, you’ll always find yourself on the path of justice. Maybe. Lastly, it’s important to remember that your mental health doesn’t define you. Mental health is something we all struggle with in our own specific way, and whether or not we live with poor or great mental health is irrelevant of the fact that we persist in having dreams and goals and likes and dislikes. “Kyle Bosman with depression” is a person who is infinitely more complex than “he has depression”. It’s something that you live with, not who you are, and it may feel like you’re in an endless ocean, exhaustively treading water, but the support you get from your loved ones hopefully act as the occasional life preserver to make it that much easier to bear. I wanted to try and comment on every monthly update because I support the EZA, I support every project they wish to create, and I know how important validation can be. A like is one thing, but a comment is a special kind of engagement. I personally wanted to voice how excited I was for each new bit of information, and completely understood the time that goes into an undertaking like this. We’re gamers. We are used to long waits, so it truly wasn’t a big deal for me. Kingdom Hearts is my favorite franchise. All this to say, I love the Easy Allies, I love Box Peek, and I love Kyle Bosman, and to shamelessly mirror an earlier comment, truly, you’ve got a lifelong fan.

<3 love ya, Kyle. depression is an asshole but you're not, you made such an amazing show that made me laugh, smile, gasp, and just be sentimental about. As a person that gets depressed and can't stay interested in shows most of the time and is pretty picky about shows to watch this was 100% worth it. This is definitely a show I'll watch all over again in the future. thank you so much kyle <3

As someone who battles with depression as well, I understand how wholly unmotivated that can make you, which is what makes the fact that you finished this even more impressive. I'm super proud of you Kyle!

I'm proud of you, Kyle! We're all happier that Box Peek gets to exist in this world. Know that once as I was in the middle of gargantuan, late, multi-year project that I needed to be done with, the thought of "hey, if Kyle can deliver Box Peek, I guess I can do this too" passed through my depression-stricken mind. If the EZA community helped you in this, you've helped the community too. L&R

Box Peak is fantastic. It looks great, has a gripping story, and tons jokes that land. On top of it all, its well acted! I wish there was more but this is a great as-is. Congrats.

I really loved Box Peek! I wanted the happy ending.. but this ending is funny and feels way more like a Kyle kind of ending. It was a really awesome display of your humor and creativity. The world building you did on this and Genomsters shows you are an exceptional talent. Thanks to Amanda, Jones, Ian, and all the allies for doing such amazing work. Everytime I heard someone's voice it made me smile. The casting was hilarious and perfect on all of them. Lastly , Kyle, Depression is a strange thing. It never makes sense. But as I hope Box Peek (your gameboy game.. EZA.. the game awards) has shown you can also surpass it and accomplish anything you want. It's a part of you, but it won't define you. ANd TRULY lastly.. as someone who DOESN'T suffer from depression, but is currently entering year 4 of a comic that was meant to wrap up in 1 year... Every creative project balloons from feature creep and increasing ambition. Yacht Club did a really great set of breakdowns about the design work that went into Shovel knight so far, but the repeating theme? They kept getting too ambitious and building things up more and more that were meant to be simple. It happens to us all. Don't beat yerself up about it. Thank you all for Box Peek and all your hard work! LOVE AND RESPECT

Amanda did an incredible job of course, but I thought it was interesting that in the end Jordy was mainly just a plot device to set up the events of the show, like a mary sue type character that can't do anything wrong. The real protagonists were CD and Kazome those are the characters you really feel for, identify with, and rally behind so it was fitting the show ended with them reconciling with each other. Also, that drawing of peek ref 12 relaxing on a hammock happily thinking about box peek strategies until his battery ran out has got to be one of the jolliest things I saw on the show, I'm surprised that didn't get any mention in the post show commentary.

Completes an enormous task. All on his own. Thanks to multiple talents and determination. Ending it on a "Thank you" to his fanbase. My friend - you bow to no one.

Thank you, Kyle! You created something pretty unique and I love it to death. Box Peek is already among my favorite shows of all time, something that I keep coming back to because it's funny and familiar and overall just a great pick me up that makes me happy (yes, even with all those terrible things, that's a huge part of the charm). I can just put it on youtube on shuffle as a background noise while I do other stuff and then find myself rewatching most of it anyways because the whole show is my favorite part and needs my full attention, your writting is simply too good, no filler. And it's just so charming visually, I'm so impressed with your crafting abilities and ideas! Plus the voice acting is superb, I didn't even recognize some of the Allies few times. So thank you again, Kyle, for making this a sharing it with us ♥ L&R

Not only has Box Peek been a great, entertaining ride that I think masterfully accomplishes what you set out to do with it, but I really want you to know what an inspiration you've been. I myself have been struggling with a personal project that's taken way longer than I ever wanted it to, but whenever I start to feel crushed by all the missed personal deadlines, I think of you and how you've openly talked about the process, and it's allowed me to look past that and just keep pressing forward. It really means a lot to me. Enjoy a well-earned break, and whenever you get the drive to start another big project I'm confident you can nail it again no matter what it is or how long it takes.

Thanks Kyle! I want you to know that you are my favorite creator. You bring a smile to my face anytime I see you on screen, for podcasts, streams or with projects like Box Peek. I'm also battling with depression and, every week, I eagerly await podcasts and streams where you're featured because you make me laugh and it helps me forget about the other stuff for a while. You've made my life more bearable and I can't thank you enough, but please, think about yourself first. Don't let this put any pressure on you. Over everything, you should think about your own mental health and well being. We're all eager to see your next project, but we will wait until you feel ready for it. I wish there was a way for me to help you with your depression, like you help me with mine. The best I can do is come up with some funny things to say in chat to make you laugh. So, I'll see you on your next stream! L&R

Box Peek is absolutely one of your greatest public achievements, right there along with The Final Bosman, the betting specials, the podcast, Achieve It Yourself, and being a part of The Game Awards. Personally, I'd put some of your stream bits on that list too. :D On that note, would you feel a bit better knowing that your Friday night streams really are the highlight of my week? Your personality is addictive, and getting to have several hours of it at once, plus chat with you at the same time, is an incredible treat. :)

Hey Kyle -- my wife and I loved watching Box Peek, and I'm sure we'll come back and watch many more times. I don't know why brains like mine and yours just refuse to make the happy chemical sometimes. Here's something that I hope helps make a little bit o serotonin for you: at the end of episode 9 when we see peek ref 13 experiencing fear, I didn't understand the true meaning of that scene until I heard you explain it in the Q&A. When I saw that scene, I was 100% absolutely certain that peek ref 12 MUR-DIDDLY-URDLERED peek ref 13 and took his number and identity. Of course my explanation makes no actual sense and you foreshadowed the SD previously and and and and. And so I have decided to completely disregard reality and that this is my head canon for the Box Peek universe anyway. You may not like it, but this is what peek ref 12 looks like. I hope that was good for at least a laugh and if not feel free to head canon me out of your universe. Much love my dude!

Hey Kyle, I just wanted to say I adore Box Peek, I think your creativity and personality shine through it and it is definitively you. To have tackled such a project whilst working with depression is truly incredible and inspiring. You say that you don't know if Bosman minus depression will exist but it absolutely will because clearly you're working through it every single day when you're still able to accomplish such herculean tasks. Please don't ever lose hope, please value yourself and please take a well deserved break after completing Box Peek! Love and Respect

Hi Kyle, I don't comment that often, but I felt I needed to following this finale. Box Peek is amazing and you should feel so proud of it. Everyone's experience of life is different and I cannot say I understand exactly how you feel. But as someone who has depression too - leading to me taking a whole year out of university this year - I must say I really appreciate you talking about your experience. I remember a couple years ago you talking about getting treatment on Frame Trap and how it was helping you. Honestly that was one of the reasons I decided to take things seriously and get help too. Thank you for that. In my mind, the creation of Box Peek represents that despite all that, we can still fight back and do amazing things in this world, despite our bad days/weeks/months/years.. and it gives me hope for the future. I loved every episode, and I can't wait to see what you have in store next, after a well deserved rest of course! A huge congratulations to the whole cast too, it wouldn't have been the same without them and their awesome takes on these characters! P.S. Episode 9 made me cry damn you!

Hi, Kyle. I've just finished watching all 10 episodes of Box Peek in one go. I waited for it all to end and it was definitely worth it. Episodes 1, 5, 7 and 8 are my favorites. I'm gonna watch all the Box Peek Live Q&As in the next 1-2 week(s), but I wanted to say something now. Box Peek is smart, funny, creative, unique, charming and brilliant. Thank you so much for creating Box Peek! Thanks to all the people who collaborated in this project, as well as all the Patrons who supported it financially and the whole EZA community who sent love and encouragement to Kyle and the Allies. You're all breathtaking and I love you all. Lastly, but not least, Kyle, you're a great human being and we will always care for you. Please know you are loved and you are not alone. Even if we live in different countries, know that you and the Allies are always in my mind and my heart. As in those of hundreds of thousands in the EZA community. I look forward to your "future well-advised goals". Whatever you do, we will always be there for you. L & R

I think that while the show took longer than you initially expected, the question at the beginning was: "can you make a cool anime-like children's show with paper puppets?" You knew from the beginning the answer was yes, and it turns out you were right. So what I am trying to say is that you did it you mad man. You have a unique perspective on the world, and I am glad to be one of the people able to support it.

Just wanted to add my piece. I watched Box Peek 1-5 with my wife, we loved it. When 6-10 started coming out, we waited until 10 was out, then marathoned the whole show. I'm happy to report we HATE how PERFECT the ending was :p. Seriously, I'm a Patron, because of you, specifically you. We love the work you do, and look forward to what's next. Be well friend. <3

I absolutely loved it, and I cannot thank you enough for acting on the insane notion of making a show about people hiding in boxes.

I just started watching Box Peek around three weeks ago and I was blown away by how much fun it was. Honestly, this was quite the accomplishment, Kyle! I found myself actually looking forward to each new Box Peek match and started to really feel for the characters. That's pretty incredible for a bunch of paper cut-outs. Congrats!

Anonymous

Kyle, I don't post very often, but I feel compelled to do so after finishing watching Episode 10 of Box Peek. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the end of the series yet. On one hand, the entire show was amazing! I was always stunned by the level of creativity in the production design of the paper puppets, the details in the backgrounds and the Box Peek battles, especially in Season 1, where Jordy's unique and intelligent solutions to all the battles with his different opponents really reflected on your intelligence and wit. The humour of the show was always something I appreciated as well, since it reminded me a lot of the Saturday morning cartoons with which I expect most patrons of Easy Allies are very familiar. On the flip side, I do think that the ending was a bit abrupt. I understand that was intentional, as there can be comedy that develops from shock and surprise, but I did feel like it was to the detriment of Jordy’s character over the previous episodes. I feel the ending fits well in what I expected from you as creator, but I wonder if there could have been some hints of this earlier in Season 2, which would potentially have made the series tighter. I also think a Season 3 was the natural next step of the story up until the end of Episode 10, but again, that was intentional, and I believe I understand why you decided to stop after 10 episodes. Regarding depression, I am always touched that you are willing to talk very openly about your mental health with us and be vulnerable online. As a cancer physician in Canada, I have had several difficult conversations with patients, including about their mental health, and about treatments like medications and talk therapy with a psychiatrist, psychologist or counsellor. While I am not up to date on the forefront of psychiatric and psychologic topics, treatments for mental illnesses do take a multi-faceted approach, targeting biological, social and cultural factors that can predispose someone to mental illness. One important component that combats the social isolation of mental illness is being apart of a community, and its hard to think of one better than the Easy Allies community. The love and respect from this community is wonderful to see on a consistent basis and should be the ideal on how to conduct ourselves on the web. While it is never easy being open and vulnerable with strangers, the Easy Allies community makes the safe and supportive environment seem effortless. Kyle, thank you so much for making Box Peek! Seasons 1 and 2 were the highlight of my weeks when they released, and I’m delighted that you were given this opportunity by this community. Please know that you have my support and the support of many others for all your creative and intelligent future projects. Love and Respect, A Niche Door

Yeah. Friends are scary. They can * get bored of you, or just stop * liking you, or even disappear, and * sometimes it’s not even your fault. * They’re just other people. - kazomi I really wish you kept this line instead of the one used in the show. Plus, I would have loved to see the past characters/enemies cheering for Jordy right up until he quits it would of made the ending hurt even more than it did and also be a nice little send off/call back to those characters.

Great series. Well done. I got a lot of respect for what you pulled off.

Yo, extremely well done. There's so much in this little series that's so good, and I hope you realize the skill you've got aren't dime a dozen. No one could have made this except for you. And I'm so glad that I got to follow along and watch it. I don't know how to put it, but there's just so much attention to detail. There's so much more thought put into every episode that makes this so much greater than the sum of it's parts. Every single episode successfully made me forget that I was watching silly paper puppets and dragged me into your story. The comedy works, the tragic parts work, the lingering melancholy works. It all works. I hope you do another script some time. But if you don't, I'm really really glad you made this one. Thank you, Mr. Kyle Bosman.

I truly loved Box Peek. I've shared it with friends who don't normally watch Easy Allies content and they loved it as well. I thought the ending was great. It was abrupt, but I think a lot of endings are abrupt when you're a kid. It made me think of the last time I bought a pack of Pokemon cards. I'm sure I didn't know at the time that this was the last pack I'd buy, but it was. My favourite character was Victor. He really reminded me of like a hiker from the Pokemon games. He's an adult who's probably been training his whole life and then some newbie kid just walks along and beats him handily. The protagonist ventures onward but the defeated party has to try and deal with that. Really great stuff, Kyle.

I don't know you and you don't know me, but I just wanted to say something about depression in general. I have dealt with depression for years. On the latest Fiasconauts you mentioned a story about therapy. I had a similar thing except arguably even dumber: I was already going to therapy weekly and one day my therapist said he didn't think he couldn't help me anymore - but that he was sending me to his supervisor instead. It felt like such a videogame thing. The boss level of therapy. It sucked. But you know what? Years later, now, I am finally getting better. I don't think a version of me will ever exist without depression either - but that's not really what I'm aiming for. There will always be moments I slip back - but that doesn't mean I can't decrease the regularity of those slips. The trick is figuring out how to stretch out the *other* moments. Those small moments of contentedness can eventually grow into skyscrapers, believe me. I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of anyone else's problems or that some random Patreon comment will fix everything. I just wanted to say - in my own experience - there is, generally, hope. Stay strong and keep making brilliant stuff at whatever pace you need. L&R

Me and my son absolutely loved Box Peek, thank you so much Kyle for making this. The fact that you still met your goal, despite everything, is actually even more inspiring, as a somewhat mopey writer myself! I was late on buying a Jordy tee shirt for my 8 year sold, is there anywhere to download a high quality dino design - I'd love to have it on our wall too. These 10 episodes have meant a lot to us.

Kyle, I really loved BoxPeek. I don't know if this was your intention but it felt like a cathartic representation of expectations vs reality. (!!!!Spoilers below!!!) Almost every character had huge expectations put onto them from themselves or others but never really achieved what they set out to do. Jordy was thrown into box peek and eventually got bored of it. CD worked constantly at trying to appease the corporate overlords/his Mom. Peek Ref was created to be a judge with no emotions, it failed that dramatically, becoming emotionally invested in something else. Victor used to be really good and then lost his healthcare etc but at the end of the series he has a whole nation behind him. Falling from grace and using that as power to rise again is very powerful, defying many peoples' expectations. The show denies the viewer almost aggressively of their set expectations. Personally thats what spoke to me but, I could just be projecting a lot. I'm in my last semester of college and really don't feel like I'm as good as my colleagues here but I don't want to let the people around me down so I never share these feelings and put on a mask that I'm doing really good in school but in reality I'm scraping by. But this could just be my way of doing it. Who knows! Thanks Kyle! L&R.

Kyle, this show was really sheer genius. The constraints of the budget made it even better I think, and it was an absolute full stop flawless move to pull the *SPOILERS* dark serious second half trope like in the "Gundam" anime's (your not fooling anyone there, we know it's EVA your spoofing in that one episode. Can't wait for rebuild of Boxpeek "You can (not) peek Again" in 20years time. Also obvious shoutouts to MGS and other brilliant franchises:) As silly as this little show seems on the surface, it is very smart, and I think deeply original. I predict for better or worse, there will be (far inferior) attempts in the future to copy what you have done here). I Can't wait to see whatever the Dark Prince of Nerd Media comes up with next:) L&R

Kyle, just wanted to say that I loved Box Peek and that I love that you're willing to talk about depression's impact on this project openly. As someone who has dealt with depression all their life and is still only kinda keepin' it together with anti-depressants and weekly therapy, hell yeah. Hell yeah to moments of feeling content. You created a wonderful thing. It may be commercially unviable, but it's been a joy for all of us who got to enjoy it.
