Scott Pilgrim vs the world is the best series I have read.

Scott Pilgrim is a 6 book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. The books follows the titular Scott Pilgrim that has just started dating Ramona Flowers. But if they wish to continue dating Scott must defeat the "Leagues of Evil Ex's" which is a group of 7 of Ramona's past lovers in a mission to control her future love life. The story may sound simple at face value. Scott just need to fight 7 Exs and he just gets the girl. Wrong.

The parts where the story shines is the character work done. Scott is an awful person.He's a cheater, a liar and takes advantage of people but thoughout the story he fights his inner demons (literally) and becomes a better person for Ramona and the people he has affected.

Scott's character isn't the only piece of character work in the book series. Ramona and scott friends all get development (development that unfortunately the movie adaptation couldn't catch all of).

Although the books have a light hearted tone alot of the time it doesn't be shy to be serious and it won't talk down to the audience it treats you as an adult, just like how the characters treat each other as adults.

And if 6 books isn't enough, there is a movie directed by Edgar Wright (he was the director of Shaun of the Dead), a game development by ubisoft and a full anime on netfix animated by the studio that worked on devilman crybaby. If you have plans to check out the anime I beg of you to read the books first as I like to think of the anime as a companion piece to the books/film.

Scott Pilgrim is a wonderful piece of fiction and I read it at least once a year. Each time giving me a new prescriptive on the characters. Please if you spare the time to read 6 graphic novels, read scott pilgrim.

I have used BBC's Sound Library to get the most random sounds. I've used it for videos, games and whatever random projects I can. The best thing with BBC's sound library is there is NO WATERMARKS. I hate sound libraries that have the sound but half way thought you have someone shouting "AUDIO JUNGLE".

I've got a whole list. Most of my "comfort youtuber" comfort me due to watching them for years and years.

Caddicarus 

Caddicarus is a British Youtuber with over 1 million subs that I've been watching since 2012. He use to make game reviews on whatever interested him while making it extremely entertaining but in 2020 he changed his content, why?

"You know that situation when you've been posting youtube videos for 10 years, and than 8 years on the job you have to end up having to look for other work because even though you have 700,000 subscribers your channel is practically dead so in a last-ditch effort to save it change your entire video style and then accidentally revive your channel with the highest viewing figures it's ever seen in its last 10 years. We've all been there."

So now his content is just the most random topics like rip off Crash Bandicoot merch or PS1 baby games and just "goofs off" dubbed by him and I find it so funny from how stupid it all is.

Scott the Woz

Scott Wozniak is an American Youtuber. Just like Caddicarus, I've been watching scott since his inception in 2016. His videos are similar to Caddicarus with the difference of Scott the Woz episodes are much more informational and the jokes are lot less dumb and some videos include fun skits that play into the main topic like gaming biggest mysteries video having a murder mystery skit.

There is a lot more comfort youtubers to talk about but to keep this short I'll stop.
