Any Chernobyl thoughts

Len Flakisinski

Any Blade Runner 2049 thoughts, didn’t care for the original but I really enjoyed the sequel. Are you at all excited for Dune?

Len Flakisinski

favourite timbit flavour?

Sorry to keep spamming, any Neds Declassified thoughts? Rewatched it and I think holds your better than most Nick sitcoms. Is like it Edgar Wright did a kids show

Len Flakisinski

Have you seen Catghost?

Why do I keep saying PS? I don’t mean to

audrey rondello

Movies were asked about so how about any favorite Canadian video games? Indie or otherwise. PS definitely look up succession but it’s M&Ms it’s a really funny video.

audrey rondello

How does one listen to T&T? I've been meaning to listen to it but struggled to find it! Also, a ttrpg that I'd just like to mention because it has a special place in my heart is Brindlewood Bay, where you play elderly women who solve murders.

Favorite Hockey teams?

Len Flakisinski

Are there any books or media you can suggest to inspire critical thinking in children?

Datafox

Don’t know if I should put this in but please say “save infinity train” that show is the best cartoon in years and it got cancelled for being too dark. Also the best game I’ve ever played is Xenoblade chronicles please play it, it’s no exaggeration a masterpiece

Nolan Thompson

Do you like Whose Line is it Anyway and who’s your favorite cast members?

Len Flakisinski

How can I spread awareness of abuse of minors/women in the ren faire community? It's an issue that's effected a lot of me and a lot of my friends throughout our lives working at ren faires but it feels like nobody even knows it's even a problem. I want to change things but I don't know where to start

Hannah N

Hey, did you ever watch did you ever watch more of Succession? I remember you posted about starting it on Tumblr. If not, are there are any smaller/indie TTRPGs you enjoy?

Just read the Harry Potter books for the first time, and loved them. How do balance promoting the books because the main themes are themes of bigotry and they’re great lessons, while balancing knowing that supporting the creator is supporting intolerance?

Len Flakisinski

Machine Learning isn't Funny! (I mean maybe that's just me as a grad student) If it's not too late, how do you feel your channel has grown in the time you've been making videos?

Tori

Congrats you said my name correctly! Aside from that, which topic have you wanted to do but there wasn't enough *there* to justify a full video? If not, has there been one that went much deeper than you thought it was going to?

Are there any smaller Youtube channels you think more people should check out? Ps You right it is pronounced Giancarlo

Givncvrlo

Hey Sarah! Completely random, what are some of your favorite horror movies? Good stream btw!

Ramona Mantegani

Have you seen Orphan Black? This little Canadian sci-fi show was amazing and had the best tumblr fandom that also smoothly flowed into others like Carmilla and The 100 (Clexa). I wish someone covered that part of tumblr history, but it wasn't controversial so I guess it doesn't make for exciting video essays..

Val Packett

Now that we are in the fall almost what media have you enjoyed in 2021. Shows, movies, books, video, podcasts or, games, or whatever else has stuck with you? P.S. where did you get the strawberry dress? I kinda want it.

audrey rondello

Hi Sarah! Big fan. Any historical period or area of history you find particularly interesting? Mine is the history of the American South. Love your content!

This is more a random thought than a question: have you considered getting a deer plush and calling him Buckwild? (this is to make sure that the stream does in fact include the word "buckwild")

Jubei

Hi Sarah, what are your thoughts on the current state of queer representation in the media? On one hand, we're getting more of it than ever and there's also an increasing number of queer authors involved. On the other hand, there are still some major roadblocks and the quality of a large chunk of this representation is still poor (e.g. all the ‘first gay characters’ in Disney movies, the latest being in Cruella). Also, if this isn't too personal, what was the first queer relationship in pop culture that really spoke to you, that you could relate to?

Pola

Drag Race España has already finished and if I'm not mistaken is one of the best-rated ones so far in the whole franchise. However, I've noticed that it's more difficult to enjoy seasons that are not in a language you can understand quite well (I speak English and Spanish), which is the reason I haven't been able to enjoy Drag Race Holland. Now, to my question: have you watched this new Hulu show called Only Murders In The Building? I've really been enjoying it. I completely recommend it, I think you may like it. It's about this group of neighbors who enjoy True Crime podcasts, a murder happens in their building, and they start their own podcast trying to solve it.

I would also like to know about the blue corn

Daniel Lopez

Since I can’t guess what your next video topic is, I’ll ask what topics will you never EVER EVER cover in any video in a million years. Other than that. Thanks for spelling my last name correctly. 🤟🏻 Also, thoughts on [insert niche Canadian artist here] since you’re both canada-ian must must know each other. As Canada is just a forest with nine people living in a log cabin

Robert_boy_genius

Hi Sarah, I'd really like to get you on an online panel at Worldcon in December this year. Would you be interested? (I could send you an invite anyway, but a lot of the invites have been caught by spam filters or GMail's Promotions folder so I figured I'd ask here.)

Good afternoon, I was just curious if there was any piece of media you watched, enjoyed, but could never bring yourself to watch again?

Hey! Take it easy, there's no rush, and I appreciate my creators healthy and happy more than a lot of content and a tired creator. On this matter my question is this, to both you and Emily, how do you avoid emotional drain? Especially since for a while now your videos have been ""controversial"" and stirred up some... stuff (both legal and twitter's). How do you keep wanting to make videos after things like that? Even if it's your job Id like to think that is something you enjoy doing to some degree. Asking for a friend (?) Take care!

if this is too controversial to answer i understand, you can answer what is your favorite flavor of faygo instead

Ari David

Hi Sarah! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and they are always something I come back to when I’m feeling stressed so thanks for that! Anyways, my question may be asked a lot, but what are some video ideas you have scrapped or stopped production on? I’d love to know what almost was! Also, It’s always been funny to me that your big essay channel started with a danganronpa meme (valid tho!) on the side who are your fav danganronpas? (mine are Sakura, Akane, gundham and my little evil child Hiyoko)

Nolan Thompson

patreon question: we all know that a hotdog is a sandwich but is a taco a sandwich?

Ari David

Since people in the chat were curious, is that blue corn on the blanket on your sofa?

Jubei

My Patreon question: Quick thoughts on Inside and I Think You Should Leave? Did you enjoy them? They're on two very different ends of the comedy spectrum but seem to attract a lot of the same audience, why do you think that is?

Daniel Lopez

What are your thoughts on collabs, specifically with like Emily (of course), but also like Lindsay Ellis, Princess Weekes, or Jenny Nicholson?

Are you keeping up with all the drag race? If you watched Espana, any thoughts? I personally thought people were being dramatic when they said there's too much drag race, but this year trying to keep up with all the different countries it just really hit me that there's so much that it almost never feels special anymore

Jesse “Heinous Crimes” Lovelace

shag marry avoid tumblr twitter youtube

Lily Sugarman

If I can ask a second question, I know you’ve read Worm in the past. Have you been reading Pale, the new web serial by that author? I think it’s super up your alley.

Markus

A lot of your body of work tends to circle around parasociality, and kinda by its nature tends to focus on pretty... not great... parasocial relationships. What do you think successful or well functioning parasocial relationships look like? Who do you think is managing being a celebrity with a lot of parasocial fans well?

Markus

Do you find the skills you've acquired doing your university degree useful for your writing process? Similarly, do you think your experience in theatre has helped with delivering those lines once they're written? Also, do you think there's any merit to the adage that Twitter is basically just Tumblr on a five year delay?

What are your thoughts on cottagecore and its related aesthetics?

Peter Mountain

I'd like to know about your use of drinks in your videos. Did you intend for that to be sort of your signature or did you just start out thirsty?

Brent Knudsen

Question: what inspired you when creating Mira in terms of personality?

Ok, I have a movie question. What are your thoughts on David Cronenberg's movies and what are you favorite Canadian movies in general?

Yoav Fine

It's non-trivial to reliably output short, funny, professionally edited videos?

Stephen Gillie

Was it really OSHA? I'm clicking the "Would you like to know more" button but internet searches are mute on the topic.

Stephen Gillie

Question: Favorite song from a musical you hate? And vice versa, do you have a song you dislike from a musical you otherwise love?

Jubei

I'm so glad you and your partner were able to enjoy yourselves, very well deserved!! Question - What narrative tropes do you think are being underutilized in contemporary media and deserve their time in the sun? Other than found family of course lmao that's a given Keep up the great work at your own pace dude ✌✌

Givncvrlo

I want to know you thoughts on tiktok as a platform its really become the next tumblr (pointless discourse, bone man) so I think you may have an interesting perspective

questions: what films, tv, books, etc do you think EVERYONE should see, and, if i may ask more than one question, whats the worst tumblr ask you have ever recieved

Lily Sugarman

So glad you're getting some time to yourself!! Well deserved lady. Question - with all recent drama and utter crap that's been happening on Twitter; does the Twitter platform have any positive anymore? Is there any point in using that platform?

Devany Simon

It’s been nice seeing pictures of you and Nathan on Instagram 😊. For a question I want to know your take on the OSHA-Official tumblr account and it’s recent demise.

Nice! Question time :) What was your favourite debate so far and why? Any queer book recommandations?
