Unbelievably late August Q&A and extremely outdated catchup video (with timestamps) (Patreon)

Okay so this is extremely late, so much so that the catchup portion is now a distant memory, but it also I guess serves as a blog of where I was living in Jeju and my mental state about 2 to 3 weeks ago (which feels like a long time ago in light of a lot of recent changes). 

So here is the catchup video as well as the Q&A questions for August. Seeing as it is now September I will be doing the September Q&A video right away which will include a much needed catch up portion. 


Timestamps:

00:00 - Q&A and catchup

08:36 - Will Izuku's greatest hero story change or stay the same?

12:31 - How do you stay motivated / beat procrastination / work on big goals?

19:14 - How do you handle moving so much?

22:19 - Thoughts on parasocial relationships?

24:52 - How's Korea?

30:21 - Top 3 favorite / least favorite characters from MHA?

31:58 - Harsh truths about life you'd prefer to ignore?

34:37 - Best MHA / Fruits Basket crossovers?

It's so good to hear from you Alex! I was really looking forward to one of your catchup vids to see how you are going as I am not watching your MHA or Fruits Basket vids since I haven't watched it myself yet! Glad to see you're doing well despite life being pretty full on. I also appreciate the advice you give on some heavy topics. Cheers. :)

How I interpret it is izuku might not become the next All might aka the number 1 ranked hero in Japan but just the most important one for society in some way via impact or change. Which would lead to somone like Bakugo or Mirio becoming number 1 a goal both are likely capable of statistical wise.

I just wanted to give some perspective on the idea of feelings of suicidal ideation from someone who has been in the position of your friend's friend. This is going to be a heavy comment so if anyone is triggered by talks of suicide I would just warn to proceed with caution. And keep in mind I can only speak for myself and about my experiences, so maybe this won't be applicable here but I thought as someone who unfortunately considers themselves relatively qualified to touch on this topic it might be helpful for everyone who's either been in the position that you and your friend are in right now or someone like me who's been in the position of your friend's friend. Just for some background, I have been admitted to multiple times to hospitals and psychiatric facilities for expressing thoughts of suicide as well as ultimately making an attempt on my own life. At least in my case, these kind of resources are horrible for the person dealing with thoughts of suicide. Its like prison: you're not allowed visitors, any form of electronic content, any modern form of entertainment, etc. While they do their best, often times the people working in these hospitals are just regular nurses who, at least from what I've been told by nurse friends of mine, are acutely aware of the fact that they do not feel qualified to be handling this stuff. Additionally, the environment can often be more triggering, both because of the aforementioned prison like qualities and because you see the pain the other people in these facilities are going through and how little is being done to help them. Additionally, your freedom is totally at the mercy of the people running the facility, so you really have no idea how long you're going to be in this horrible situation, whereas even prisoners at least have and length to their sentence they can rely on. Because of these experiences, I can say that the idea of reaching out to people who care can be terrifying, because at least in my case I knew that if I were to express that I was having these feelings again I would be back there and the cycle would just continue. As far as the idea of the effect committing suicide has on the people who love you, at least for me I was definitely cognizant of how this would affect the people around me, and it only made the feelings worse. I felt intense guilt over this, like I was a terrible and selfish person for even thinking about doing this to my friends and family, and when I was already in a state of feeling like ending my own life was the only way out from the horrific pain I was experiencing, that intense guilt made me feel like I didn't deserve to live in the first place. To be clear, I totally understand the bitterness you are feeling, I don't want you to feel like your feelings are not valid, because they are. And I really, truly feel for your friend, and while I understand it may never happen I do genuinely hope she understands that it isn't her fault. Its a very complicated issue that affects everyone around you, and everyone has a different way of processing how or why this could have happened. Like I said, I thought talking about my personal experiences might help everyone understand what its like for the people feeling that kind of pain. I also do want to add (after editing this comment about 42,000 times) that a lot of your insight and commentary has been very helpful for me, especially when it comes to things like gaining confidence through action rather than feeling like you need confidence to take action, so I want to sincerely thank you for that.

*tw suicide* Yeah it's a tricky situation. Like on the one hand as someone who sort of had self-harm ideation in the past my mom would yell at me and I would feel worse and guilt ridden as you said. At the same time I lost my young cousin a month ago to suicide so I understand why anger is someone's reaction, that seems to be a lot of people's reactions when I tell them, but I'm mostly just sad. That's all to say I've sorta been on both sides and still have no idea how to help others because it's so complicated.

Tohru with One For All would be amazing lol

I feel like my issue with moving was probably the socializing. I'm basically terrified of people and social interaction because literally no one seems to like me (or maybe thats just my perception) and, more often than not, I had no one and then I moved and not only did no one care but I also still had no one. I was an empty shell drifting but I'm glad you have people and the mindset to go out and find more for yourself 💙

I'm happy to hear you are doing soo much with your life and having what seems tobe a fun and interesting romantic life aswell. I envy that my whole life I've only ever fallen in love with 2 guys the first my early teenage from when i was 12 to 15 and he was 14 to 17 where we were both careless and sexualy reckless but it was some of the most intense and fun times of my life then that ended cause we never actually dated officialy or even spoke about dating being young and frankly stupid then I moved and i had to just let go of it never knowing if he was actually in love with me like I was then I felt nothing for anyone else for years until I was in my early 20's with this guy that really did not have any interest me at all aparently but I somehow fell in love with him immidietly,it wasnt as strong as the first guy but it was there and i texted him for 2 years until he agreed to go on a date then we dated for 3 years and I forced myself to become the person he could depend on and the right person for him for all that time until at the end I just couldnt take it anymore breaking it off cause I realized even after dating 3 years he really never put up any effort and I was doing all the work to make it work. Now im on my early 30's and honestly I feel like I will never fall in love again and really have no interest in dating one bit and if this is the rest of my life I will be fine with it and happy since I'm not really someone who depends on social interactions to feel happy. I'm happy just bieng the gay uncle for my 3 nephews and niecies who always need me around to be there for them since my younger brother was a dead beat dad who left to live back home and I spent the last 12 years practically raising his son for him for half of the year every year and nothing brings me more joy then being with my nephew and nieces.

Apartment Tour and Big Ol’ Woofer were the highlights of this catchup, but this was sort-of a non-catchup where all the info is so dated to whats going on with you now that the next catchup could be RADICALLY different. I’m highly anticipating the next catchup video, you truly have me on the edge of my seat.

In the next catchup video Alex is wearing an eyepatch and has grown a full beard.

Your answer on parasocial relationships was great. I think you have a good way of viewing life in that regard. And for example, while I don't think people should turn to a content creator to fix their problems, I do believe you can take information from them and think about it yourself. This is going to be a bit of a ramble, but back when you were doing the series on The Midnight Gospel, there was something you said that resonated with me extra hard. It was one of my first comments on the channel, actually, but I deleted it because I felt like I was venting too much in a public space. Basically, what you said was a criticism of certain types of people, or a way people act sometimes, which then caused me to reflect a lot and figure out how I could improve. I wish I could remember what exactly you were talking about, maybe if I rewatch the series you did on that show it'll come back to me. But yeah, I think it's good to approach it knowing you don't want to tell people how they should live their life. It's more like giving your perspective and letting them figure it out and what's best for them. And also putting faith in viewers that they won't be weird or put the creator on a pedestal. One thing I like about these videos strongly is that I hear opinions on life that aren't my own, and it causes me to explore those ideas further. I think the nature of how you structure the videos encourages reflection on all kinds of topics, and it's very good in that way. No idea if any of that makes sense, those are my immediate thoughts on that question and answer... but it sort of transitioned into something else entirely.

Hey Alex! I just wanted to thank you because you partially inspired me to travel by myself for the first time. I recently came back from a vacation I took in Mexico and suffice to say I had a great time and it was a transformative experience in giving me retooled perspective on life. Also, there's nothing like travelling on your own because you feel completely autonomous and a bit vulnerable. Truly a thrilling experience. Thank you once again and I hope to share more about my future journeys!

I will always support such an earnest commitment to poontang. Godspeed my man! Go get you some!

i believe in a lot of ways you're right that the correct way to get through life and succeed is to do the "I am here" but that can also lead to us ignoring problems and solutions to problems
