This is the phase of NMTD that reminds me that, if NMTD had actually happened in the real world, there would definitely be at LEAST one video essay from the last few years detailing all of the drama that happened back in 2014 when a popular YouTuber faked a dramatic illness.
The 10 year anniversary of Lovely Little Losers by @thecandlewasters is coming up, and we are organising a fan-run daily experience. Follow along via substack as four flatmates embark on the uni experience in this 2015 Love’s Labour’s Lost inspired web series.
Emails will include youtube videos and other transmedia content like tweets. The first one comes this December, while the main body of emails runs from 15 July - 26 December 2025.
This blog is run by @thebirdscomeback, @galwithalibrarycard, @areadingturtle and @cardboardsean. The substack itself is run by thebirdscomeback and cardboardsean. Send your questions about the experience here or to one of us, and find other fans in the #lolilodaily tag! (NB this is entirely fan-run, the actual creators of the show are of course The Candle Wasters)
We’re so excited to revisit the losers with you all!
Nostalgic for early tumblr? Craving that Dracula Daily mineral? Perhaps obsessed with a certain enemies-to-lovers Shakespeare play?
Look no further, NMTD(Taylor's Version) is here!
Set in a New Zealand High School, told by teenage vloggers at the height of superwholock. It’s Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing for the nostalgic and curious.
Thee 2014 transmedia experience; with videos, tweets, insta and tumblr posts direct from the characters to your email inbox.

yeah but. do you know how important pedrazar is. do you know that this show got me to go out and seek more actual queer representation rather than the queer baiting that was rife during the 2010s. do you know the shift in my 17 year old brain when I realised that actually characters CAN be canonically queer. do you know that one foot on sea was the start of me truly comprehending my own queerness
