To start off 2021, I am releasing short essays summarizing my feelings about last year. These essays have the following self-imposed rules:
-The scripts are less than 1000 words long
-They are not comprehensive essays about the subjects
-These essays are not indicative of my favorite pieces of media in 2020, rather the media that I felt encapsulates the year for me.
While there were a lot of games from 2020 that I thoroughly enjoyed, there were few that provoked thoughts in me like Final Fantasy VII remake. So as we wait another decade for part two of the saga, I want to consider the place of Aerith Gainsborough in our modern pop culture, and the impact her life and death might bring to a new generation.

Alternate Title: Why you should read this beautiful gay webcomic, you cowards!
As a departure from most of my other videos, I am going to be talking about the webcomic Puu (பூ) by Nabigal-Nayagam Haider Ali. It is a comic filled with discussions of religion, sexuality, gender, nationality, and most above all else, Love. Find out what makes this one of the most endearing stories to be released on the web today.
