What is LITWTC Statistics?
This blog will post three times a week a very serious and sensible analysis of a random Life in The World to Come episode.
FAQ and template under the cut!
NAVIGATION GUIDE 🤸🏻♀️
Q: Can I request a specific episode for you to cover?
A: YES! Send them through ask and I'll get to it a few days later :)
Q: are the posts in chronological order?
A: no. Maybe I'll make a thread linking all the individual posts in chronological order, but for now, the answer is no.
Q: Will you make an analysis of the entire podcast?
A: As of starting this blog I only have 11 episodes analyzed, so I hope I'll get to it!
Q: Hey, did you cover [insert episode name here] already?
A: Maybe! You can check it in the navigation guide!
Q: Define “Fourth Wall Breaking” and “Visual Gag”...
A: A fourth wall break is mostly breaking the usual q&a format to directly face the audience (example of breaking the q&a format that isn't a fourth wall break: the vision of the wedding of the future in The Thousand Princes of Santana). A visual Gag is usually also a fourth wall break, but involves a visual element that is as the audience cannot see, and wether the gag was done in reality or not. (Example: “bringing out the whiteboard” for doomsday calculations in Dead Intern Fund or actually eating caviar in Caviar Break)
Q: When did you start this?
A: The idea came to me in the first time I listened to them say that there is no offical canon to litwtc, to which I thought, “And what if I'm gonna list everything down?”, then it kinda rolled into being less lore-keeping (which would be much more impressive, if someone's into it, I'm all here for it) and more analysis/statistics of the podcast
Q: Why do you use analysis and statistics interchangably?
A: I'm a non-native speaker, and while I'm aware that “analysis” can also refer to a literary analysis, I feel like both terms describe quite well what I'm doing
Q: who are you, mysterious prophet of statistics?
A: my main is @moash-in-the-moat
