saw her dressed down after a live show and can confirm she looks extremely cute regardless

The timing on this video showing the universe's sense of humour - I hadn't logged into Patreon for months, I just saw the post on the 'Gram saying the new video was on Nebula and the topic is 'Death' and I ran to watch it. I lost my Mum to pancreatic cancer in June, today was her '40 days' (a big marker in eastern Orthodox funerary tradition) and we marked the occasion by choosing today to inter her ashes (NOT a very Orthodox custom). As we only found out she was ill in January we all had time to consider and ponder the ways we and others around us think about death and dying - both as individuals and as a family. The process of discussing all of this with Mum this year, as well as other tidbits - planning the funeral with her, answering questions about our future plans, making assurances that we'd look after Dad - reminded me of what your Better Cities video discussed round deploying phantasms as well. If we plan out our own funeral, are we really dead? If you have a family dinner and home movie night the evening before a medical euthanasia appointment and all go off to the hospital together, then even once it's over and you all go home, it's kind of like they're still here, right? We took control of the death event by standing on both sides of the contradiction - she's still here, but she's not here. Recounting yours and others' personal experiences with losing loved ones and explaining the philosophy behind how we process these kinds of events I feel is really insightful and helpful, and those who are a bit spiritual may say this video popped up when I personally needed to see it (the universe and everyone in it continuing to revolve around me personally, of course, lol) Seeing this philosophy pulled apart to dissect the way that we treat people in war zones, climate change disaster victims, and people endangered by others due to prejudice, reminded me that there's a lot of work to be done. Thank you for another fantastic video!

My room mate of 11 years died in may 23. I am angry about that. But listening to your video and thinking about it. I am not mad that she died. I am sad she's no longer here. I am mad that she deserved better in her final years. She deserved more happiness. She deserved brighter times with more possibilities. She deserved more laughs and joy. Getting old and dying are separate things, but they're not. Poverty is also not the same thing, but when it's there, it colors everything. getting old is much scarier bleaker than dying. I think your nxt video should be about which is your favorite flavor of ice cream and why. You mentioned Princess Di and the Iraq war. And then you summarized them "For those too young to remember" .... I wanted to make a joke about how I was dying of old age watching the news, the stories and the tragedies of my late 20s and 30s have to be explained to people who were not yet there. It is my dearest hope for you that age takes it's time to get to you. and must happen quickly because it ignored you for so long. Not just Abigail, but you reading this. too. Move. Eat well. Enjoy the good things. Maybe some day we can arrange things so getting old doesn't have to suck so badly.

Since Nebula doesn't have a "Like" button... Like!

Just watched on Nebula... Think I need to watch it at least 2 or 3 more times to really get my head around it. Brilliant as always.

Loving the looks, looking forward to episode. Looking fab, Abi 😍

Olwen Lachowicz

PhilosophyTube x AskAMortician collab when? :D

Sethur

The Croc somehow reminded me of Death of the Endless (from "Sandman" by Neil Gaiman) Looking forward to the episode! :D

Simone

I guess you don’t look this fabulous all the time without the professional makeup etc? If I am wrong and you do look fabulous all the time then I am sooooo jealous.

Brittany Spratt

I love the outfits, you look great! I usually listen instead of watch but I will make an exception this time!

Hamokk

Woooo! Gosh those are some gorgeous looks. Abi you look beautiful. <3

rdm51

You’re so beautiful!

Desi Fowl

As a big fan of The Order of The Good Death I am quite excited for this.

Peggy Jaeger

Love the croc look and that necklace is cool.

Luna

I was a theater kid and the trick with the coconut oil and cocoa powder is *so* clever, I love it! Makes me miss doing theater, in fact! As you know, there's so much creativity beyond the obvious stuff.

Thad Soule

Death never looked so good…

Merle

OK as a loyal Death Note fan I love this thumbnail idea, hope it pays off hahaha

Meg Scrabble

There are laws against how gorgeous you look in all these outfits! The makeup is outstanding! I want to see your angel picture next to your hellfire picture from the episode you did when that man plagiarized you!

Jack Fennell

The Croc is giving post-apocalyptic antihero; like Snake Plissken, except with actual reptile cred.

Camille Andersen 🦆

Oh I absolutely love the topic of death, it's a really interesting concept to dig into because it relates to everyone, and everyone has their own interpretations of it. So excited for this episode!

Empty Library System

The croc look is phenomenal! That makeup is amazing!

Denise D

You look absolutely stunning! And I'm right there with you when it comes to heels - I roll the dice any time I decide to put on anything higher than Dansko clogs. 🤣 🤷🏾‍♀️

Jon Skoog

Loving "The Croc" look! Can't wait for the next video! 💕

Soapbayz

Beautiful! The "croc" one with the scales on your forehead is giving furiosa/mad max vibes

Julia Köck

Your costumes are fantastic as always, can't wait to see this episode

Mr. Grahf

The only thing I'd be careful of if you use the Death Note one for basis of a thumbnail is that you'll almost inevitably have random people coming in thinking it's a video only about Death Note.
