Hank being Hank, most of his talk about the colitis are poop jokes. Get well soon Hank. We want the worst thing in your life to be ulcerative colitis.

​@@chuchu9649I think the context is mostly just that John has a lot of mental health issues (mostly anxiety related) which he talks about fairly frequently. Also iirc when he was younger and working as a book reviewer he sort of had a "mental breakdown" and had to quit and move home to live with his family for a while to try and recover. I don't think things have ever gotten that bad again but it's not like he's completely cured either.

I would counter that the attributes we admire in the brothers are on full display right now, for me, the unshakable positive outlook paired with sober reflection seperate them from most of the internet (and most people). These unfortunate circumstances offer an oppurtunity to test whether these traits actually stand up to the stresses of life. I'd say these videos prove that they do. Their character is shining through the screen and I worry for anyone who isn't touched by it. :)

I swear I distinctly remember Hank bringing up that they don't say "like/subscribe/share/etc" because they didn't want the community to get too big and become a potentially unruly mass (or something similar).

I also think that the community did approach that during the TFIOS era (also because of the age of a lot of those new people (one of which was me😅)) so they saw what could happen and realized the vlog brothers community was too good to give up for just bigger subscriber numbers

"I just desperately want to do everything once" felt that

It’s interesting. For most healthy people that have to go through chemo, it’s pure suffering; but once it is done, they can forget what the pain truly felt like. For Hank, because of his underlying chronic health issues, he can see chemo through a different lens. I’ve dealt with a similar perspective. It’s almost like you are a sommelier of suffering. Like, “hmm my tastebuds hurt. That’s a new weird one” as you carry on with your day. People who have chronic problems and weird symptoms don’t get the luxury of being able to forget them, it’s entrenched in our memory. So it’s fascinating to see I’m not the only one that can spin it into something interesting or funny.

The revenge of Hank putting images over John's face this time is the level of sibling pettiness I'm here for

Well, I just subscribed. I was diagnosed with nasalpharyngeal carcinoma last Oct. Went through 35 radiation treatments, Covid, bad hospital food and presently doing chemo. Not out of the woods yet but showing improvement and being hopeful. Probably permanent vision damage as a result of the tumour as well. Hank, thank you for sharing your experiences and your attitude towards this new identity "thrusted" upon you. You have said almost everything I have thought and felt about having cancer. You've said it better and that's why I've subscribed. I wish you well in your treatments and live each day with as much vitality you can bring that day. Your boat holds one person but you have many people like myself riding the river on their own boat with beside you. I'll try not to bump you with my boat!😂 John, your description on how others treat a person with cancer is spot on. I had a weird feeling from a person and just couldn't shake it. Your words helped me see better and it allowed me to have compassion for him and let it go. I wish him well to take care of himself on his journey while I have my journey.
