Here is something extra:

If you notice, Spherius have more detail and realistic shading, cause he if the only one who met the 4th dimension, that is why he is breaking the 4th wall in the drawing.

These 70 writers are actually all the same person - Ilan Stavans

On November 30th, 1935, dozens of writers passed away. They came from different backgrounds, espoused divergent beliefs, and wrote in a variety of styles. Yet almost 30,000 pages of their work was stashed in a trunk in an apartment in Lisbon, Portugal. So, what mysterious string tied all these writers together? Ilan Stavans explores the enigmatic life of Fernando Pessoa and his many identities.

Lesson by Ilan Stavans, directed by Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet.

When you solve a riddle on the TED-Ed Youtube channel

[luna3141]

My Favorite Educational Youtube Channels--

Biographics: exactly what it says on the tin, biographies of infamous people throughout history including the odd fictional or mythological character

NativLang: linguistics channel that tries (and succeeds) to not focus solely on romance languages

Joe Scott: almost has the feel of an upgraded list channel; focuses on everything under the sun (i.e. history, astronomy, philosophy, biology, etc); videos are 10-20min long and packed with information, but it feels more like having a conversation with a friend than sitting in class

SciShow: I MEAN... IT’S SCISHOW! Founded by Hank Green of the Vlogbrothers, it’s a channel dedicated to answering pressing scientific questions, correcting misinformation, and educating the public on problems like climate change that we should all know more about

SciShow Psych: it’s SciShow but with a particular focus on psychology

SciShow Space: take a wild guess

CrashCourse: COVERS LITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT TO LEARN ABOUT from classic literature to A.I. to Engineering to Mythology, etc, etc; produced by an ever-growing team of awesome, highly educated people who just want to make education free and easy

PBS Eons: an awesome (albeit, more traditional feeling) channel dedicated to “the history of life on earth;” great place to learn about prehistoric life

Mental Floss: yeah, a lot of this is going to be from the Vlogbrothers, but it’s their fault for making such great educational content; a list show which takes prompts/questions from the audience and turns it into 10min of info you never knew you never knew (still waiting for that Pork Chop Party, btw)

History With Hilbert: take a wild guess; but seriously, if there’s any part of history you aren’t 100% sure on you can probably find a video about it on here that will answer any and all questions and make you think “why didn’t I know that?”

Rare Earth: I’m not even sure how to describe this one other than at first glance it may seem like the videos cover random topics, but when you come up for air three hours later you’ll be not only educated on something you would’ve never picked for yourself, but also deeply moved

CGP Grey: initially introduced to me as a physics channel which has since expanded out to cover a multitude of topics without sugarcoating anything (if that makes sense)

TED-Ed: brought to you by the same people who made TEDTalks comes it’s eager little brother; TED-Ed is quite like CrashCourse in that it covers literally everything, but the videos are on average only a few minutes long, beautifully animated, and narrated by the same three or four lovely voices (warning: this channel can be very relaxing. watch at your own discretion.)

TREY the Explainer: (let’s end this list on a high note!) TREY the Explainer is a channel run by (seemingly) one very educated person, focusing predominantly on anthropology, paleontology, and prehistory as a whole, while also occasionally diverting off their usual path to answer questions like “What IS Bill Cipher?” “What Type of Dinosaur is Godzilla?” and “What are SU Gems?” CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH.
