its hard to choose in these polls, because all your content is amazing. and voting for a patron exclusive feels like I steal content from non-patron fans, who I think would also greatly benefit from your amazing teachings. I do however undrstand why patron exclusives are neccisary and support you. I therefor chose the one that seems to be least about writing, but is a really interesting subject!

Grimdark is a setting dominated by a hostile and uncaring world. Often underscored by the retreat of civilization and order. The brutality is incidental of the setting, but not required. At it's worst, it wollows in misery and brutality; at it's best, it is a great backdrop for epic tales about character. Tragedy is a narrative. Grimdark is not necessary Tragedy.

That sounds like a fabulous video idea. I'd watch that twice.

Good question! I feel like grimdark often has a feeling of unrelenting brutality to it, that tragedy as a genre doesn't always, but that's coming from someone who doesn't like grimdark in the slightest.

Optimism is the new Punk Rock (examining Superman, Solarpunk and Cosy Fantasy)

I thought I'd suggest my own: what's the difference between grimdark and regular old tragedy? Is there one?

A video on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 would be marvelous

One I would love for a future video on using local heroes, villians, and possibly patron saints or spirits to build the character of a place like we saw in Avatar day. There have been a few times in travelling when I suddenly felt much more closely drawn to a town and its history after having something like the statue of someone I had never heard of explained to me by a local.

I was just listening to your Study of Worldbuilding videos on the nations in Avatar again! I'd love to see those for a sci-fi series like The Expanse or a fantasy book series like The Poppy War
