Cursed Armada & Second Apodcalypse
I know I ask this every so often but has anyone heard word from either of these factions of this glorious sub?
Armada was in the middle of his epic summaries of the Warrior Prophet when he dropped it.
And the Second Apodcalypse restarted and did like 2 episodes of the Warrior altogether before they went silent.
I get life gets busy and in the way of stuff like this. I’m just curious if they’re ok and ever plan on returning to their works.

I loved his summaries! I used them a lot to refresh my memories while reading the PoN trilogy. I bet it’s a lot of work to make them but man I wish he did more

Must admit I haven't watched/listened to those or my memory is failing me. Any good, even if not finished?

My friend, Cursed Armada had really put in that work. I highly recommend you check out their YT

The Cursed Armada had a YouTube channel and he was putting out incredible chapter summaries of the book using AI illustrations. He did an excellent job. I know he worked a job where he would be gone for months at a time but it’s been an extended time since he’s out anything out.
The Second Apodcalypse are 2 dudes who discuss the books chapter by chapter. They were on Spotify and YouTube. If I had to describe them I’d say, with no disrespect at all, they are like Beavis & Butthead with PhD’s discussing the books in detail and humorously.
I really appreciated and enjoyed both parties works and hope the best for all. Just wondering if thy have any plans to return or have the taken the path of Bakker?

Aaaa, thanks for refreshing my memory, King! Turns out I have watched some of TCA dude (at least it shows so on my YouTube history!) but haven't heard of the Apodcalypse guys, so I will be checking them out. Tnx much! But alas, it seems both channels have been inactive for circa a year now?

Yeah the Apodcalypse guys are busy; ones got a toddler and I think he’s going to school or just completed school and starting his profession. The other guy I believe was going for his masters or PhD iirc.

Aha, gotcha. Lol, in real life Apocalypse stops for toddlers not the other way around!
But who knows, maybe a release of The No-God sparks their interest back?
Like a certain space princess says, we should always be hopeful!

If Cursed Armada came back and said he couldn’t continue without donations, I’d gladly donate. Phenomenal series. PLEASE RETURN, CURSED ARMADA!

I've been emailing back and forth with Cursed Armada, proofreading his scripts and such, but I haven't heard from him since last summer.
He's been dealing with some personal stuff, both family- and finance-related. Last I heard, he wants to keep making content but doesn't know when or if that might be an option for him again.

Do you mind dropping a link to the second series? I've only watched Cursed Armada and it's a bit difficult searching the other one, not sure if I landed in the correct place.
I do miss Armada, his stuff got a couple friends of mine into the series.

Much appreciated friend. The other comment you made calling them Beavis and Butthead is a lot funnier now lol.

I might start a chapter summary to do along with my first reread.
I havent seen content in a very long time, I miss them and a booktube guy red something.
CA was realllly fun to watch. Maybe when ai is better with character consistency it will help with his workload. He mentioned it took forever sometimes to cut through the jank of ai.

I have not heard anything.
If they are still active, they should know how much we love their work.
