So since maybe February I've been planning a follow up to the edgelord video. I've even done interviews with some prominent content creators for it. But over time it ballooned into my magnum opus on the manosphere that I swore I would never do...It's 14000 words long right now and I'm maybe 70% done!As it hit the 10k mark this week I got stuck something awful. I couldn't figure out how to pull all of these various ideas and arguments together, like in one section I'm talking about batman and in another I'm talking about Fresh and Fit... it was a mess.So randomly I call the homie Cj the X. Cj for those who don't know has THE best Bo Burnham video in the streets for my money, yes even better than mine and is one of only a few creators that i watch whatever they put out instantly. Despite being extremely different we think a lot alike, we even both made our first video about Hamilton...His Bo Burnham video is over 2 hours long (the likely length of this video) and he tackles so many fricken topics and issues but it feels connected, you get why all these different things are related. I asked him how he managed that in the writing process.I won't tell you what he told me cause I want it to manifest in the video, but it worked. It got the keyboard percolating again. Anyway just suddenly felt like sharing this feeling of relief and I don't post enough stuff, especially for all the new Patrons, thanks for coming yall. This video is set for the 23rd... hopefully. Peace and Blessings,F.D

This was the first project I saw of yours on youtube two years ago.

CJ is awesome. So glad they could help you get over the slump for this video.

Oh my. I was like "writers block... oh I've been there" and then I saw 14000 words and yeah nope never been that deep in the abyss. This did get me excited for the video though, and I love and envy CJ at the same time for their ability to chaotically maintain a through line. If you would be able to (or maybe you already plan on it), maybe at the end of the video mention what CJ's advice was? As someone who is now also attempting the YT commentary thing, I am always looking for this sort of advice!

Oh my goodness, I know how bad that writer's block feels! I'm glad you found a way out, I'm still figuring mine out 😬

Sending you a ton of love and grace. Appreciate the vulnerability and sharing your process.

Looking forward to it. Also thanks for turning me on to CJ The X. Don't know if you posted one his videos, or had him on a list... but anyway he's been a favorite ever since.

Always glad to see updates from you !. Also have you considered doing an analysis on carter from the Netflix series disjointed ? His character has some really good representation in black men that's always hurt not to see in media . sorry for the long message .peace love and prosperity

First of all....yay I live for CJ's content. That's awesome that they helped. I'm just patiently waiting for the wonderful stuff about to come. You actually helped me out of writer's block last week. I'm working on a video (first one) about how white supremacy hurts white people as well. I was in the weeds bc it's a massive topic but your videos got me over the hump.

You always get a smile outta me, even when I'm grumpy. Thanks man💜😎
