guys, you could upload a 6 hour video talking about an obscure kind of silent poetry in a language I don't understand and I would still watch every second with subtitles -- but talking about fish for hours is where I draw the line ;)
Discovered this podcast today from your Jenna Moreci videos, was pleasantly surprised to see an episode on this series. Nix was one of my fav authors growing up, this threw me back!
I remember reading this series as a kid, but it wasn't finished at that point. I enjoyed the podcast, the real keys really are the friends we made along the way.
You have recently become my new favorite podcast, and this was one of my favorite series as a teenager (along with the abhorsen series). I initially found this podcast in hopes that I was not the only person who didn't love the acotar series. I came for the mutual hate and stayed for the mutual love.
ok I just got to the lust part and the 'experiencing' and agree, its not lust. So, I sat and thought about it for like 5 minutes -- how could you do lust in a children's book, do children experiencing a type of innocent lust? and I thought it would be kind of cool if he used the idea of infatuation instead, because both adults and children experience infatuation and it is arguably a type of lust, the only difference is that in adults lust and infatuation come with sex and with children it doesn't. I didn't think any deeper than that about how you would use that in the book, but even if you kept the whole idea of experiencing, maybe she only focuses on childhood memories of innocent crushes? or even teenage first loves because typically those are infatuations and a type of lust. and that was 5 minutes, and Garth Nix I am not, I refuse to believe he couldn't do something amazing with this concept with just a little bit of type thinking about it.
So, I'm writing from the UK so I'm not sure if anyone in the US would have heard of this author but she is an extremely successful children's author here and she was my favourite author growing up. Her name is Jaqueline Wilson, she rights standalone children's books and I always preferred them growing up because they were more realistic. Other children's books were very alienating for me because they were typically all happy and full of rainbows and stuff like that and that just wasn't what my life looked like at all. But her books had things in that a lot of other authors steered clear of putting into children's books back then, like one book the main character had a best friend that died and the book explored that. One of her most successful and popular books had a main character who was a biracial girl who was in a foster home that she always called 'the dumping ground'. The author is 78 years old now, and still writing children's books to this day. I've never actually re-read any of the books that I loved of hers now that I'm an adult but I have amazingly fond memories of them and the author is now a Dame because of the impact she had on sooo many children's lives who's realities were very rarely represented in books.
UK buddy, hi! I lived on Jacqueline Wilson growing up and you're right, they did deal with all sorts of living situations that represented real kids out there. I cant believe she's still going i feel like she was old my whole life 😂
@@HushIAmTalking I know! She was definitely elderly when I was reading her books as a kid, and she’s still going. She was basically my entire childhood, I loved her books they were just different than most kids books during that time. Like even though she was writing for kids, her books weren’t condescending and she didn’t shy away from difficult real life topics just because we were kids. Some of her books really helped me understand things in my own life like grief and stuff like that. But I haven’t gone back and read any of them again, I wonder if I will still love them? Maybe I should give it a go and reminisce
I'm listening on spotify but I paused it to come here and tell you that 1) i am listening and 2) you are indeed my favourite (and only) podcast 😂 I also wanted to see the level of Will's ruggedness for myself (you could take it even further i believe in you my guy) - Nobody x
Of course I made it through to the end! This was one of my favourite series growing up #therealkeyswerethefriendswemadealongtheway Lord Sunday was far too existential for me when I was reading it as a 13 year old and was by far my least favourite of the books. I had read through the first 6 loads of times before Lord Sunday came out and I am not sure I have ever done a full reread since. Now being in my mid 20’s I may appreciate it more and these two videos have insisted that an adult reread has to go on my reading list for this year!
Somtetimes i have to save up your videos for when i have to do boring chores but ill get around to them eventually. But i didn't expect this series to be about fish from this point on 24:19 bold of will to assume that houses in florida wil still be standing in 100 years
Grew up reading and re-reading this series (they're sitting on the bookshelf next to me) and it's awesome to hear someone else's perspective on it. Just finished the first video and excited for the last 3 books. Great podcast guys!6 (#therealkeysarethefriendswemadealongtheway)
I don't know if this series is going to be for me since it is a more distant voice but I am willing to try reading them because you both love it, after all you all #ranked it so high.
I loved this series, to the point that it was the first series I bought physical copies of with my first collection of adult money. #therealkeyswerethefriendswemadealongtheway
#therealkeyswerethefriendswemadealongtheway !! My absolute fav series as a kid so stoked you guys talked about it i cant tell you how relieved my nostalgia is that you guys like it too!
Wait! I am back to say that in terms of fantasy I read in secondary school - the Chaos Walking Series is great (the film does not exist and can't hurt me). But a lesser known (i think) series that was my entire personality was The Looking Glass wars trilogy. The politicking & world set up in the last one would be appreciated by you guys I think. p.s please bear in mind i have not reread any of this in a decade 😅
Fish! Also, if u do feel like dipping your toes into middle grade, what about the Spiderwick Chronicles? You'd have to read it physically cuz the pictures are half the joy of it, but they're so so short. About an hour reading time per book
#ranked !! Another middle-grade/young YA series i liked that i would be fascinated to hear your opinions on is the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. Ive always felt like the first 3 books are really solid and kinda stand by themselves but then theres 6 more books that are a bit of a roller coaster so itd be interesting to hear a “critical” perspective on them.
I really like the way you guys interpreted the ending of this series. It's very poignant, thinking about Architect Arthur giving child Arthur that opportunity, I really enjoyed the conversation on this series. I hadn't known about Garth Nix before your Sabriel video, but I've added this series and Sabriel to my To Read List because of you guys. #Therealkeysarethefriendswemadealongtheway. that hashtag is evil btw.
so there was no tea? i thought the title was a pun on the climax. huh. nice video tho, i wish *i* could revert to a child so i could read the series bc it sounded fascinating. the real keys were the friends we made all along 🤝
Dude, like why fish?!? Ffs! #therealkeyswerethefriendswemadealongtheway #ranked ... I didn't hate the ending. It feels like there's a deeper layer with Arthur deciding not to change the world as in a realization of how complicated things are and how you just can't take one thing out and expect all else to remain the same. Also, I super love the idea that the Will was the Architect! It fits so well with the biblical references in such a subtle way as in God willed the Universe into existence. I'm an absolute sucker for this kind of thing. Also also, just as a tidbit, the idea of days becoming personas is in my country's folklore and fairytales. They appear like helpful old ladies (Holy Friday, Holy Sunday) that help the MC towards his quest goal.
hashtag the real keys were the friends we made along the way 1:53:00 (((the V-thing on guys is called cum gutters))) Man, I loved this book series but never found out what happened in Fri-Sun. This podcast was exactly what I needed (and now I’m highly tempted to reread the series again). Also, seconding this other comment for doing a read of the Artemis Fowl series 👀
uhh anyone else think its weird that they just talked about fish for two hours? smh i didn't know this was a marine biology channel

The Real Keys Are The Friends You Made Along The Way LOL!!! #RANKED!! You guys did this book series justice!! Thank You!
I have been obsessed with this book series getting some sort of an adaptation my whole life.
Fish! 😂
I have not read nor will ever read these books but I'll definitely watch all of your videos
When I was a kid this was one of my favourite series (though I could only ever read up to book 4 because the rest of the books were never translated).
Read Artemis Fowl, please! There is british humor, crazy world and some dark theme too.
And fey and irish
Omg, i DID watch this video (and haven’t even read the first books) which means this REALLY IS my favorite podcast 🌟
I did not expect you to post this so fast after he previous vid. Very excited
I comment fish once and now TH-cam is recomending me fiah tank review channels . Thanks

I'm not a fan of fish, but this channel / podcast is a sea I have enjoyed diving into.
As a new parasocial darling, you are indeed my favorite podcast ❤
I have to agree with will about the ending. It does feel....weird to basically end the world and then have copies of everyone you have ever known.
You guys are my favorite podcast and I also happened to really love this series like a decade ago so I was absolutely excited waiting for this
Honestly, this is getting me interested in the series.
