I really like that you made this series about death. I really makes me feel better about my situation with my depression and my bdp (not bipolar disease fyi)
i came for some comicbook character information and got some awesome live advice . i think death is a good source of motivation. if humans would not die they would not see any reason for change.
I may be only 15 but I want to share my idea anyway. I have high functioning Autism and im in the top half of my freshmen high school class. I'm a theatre kid and my real family is all of my friends in drama club. I finally have friends who don't see me as some girl with Autism but an actual person with real feelings. the only negativity ( wich I try to ignore most of the time but never works) is my family. My mom's boyfriend is ruining our live. he's manipulating my mother and sheis so blind to it that she won't listen to anyone. he is a monster and pure evil. but I am making my life better by making my life as fun as possible and getting out of the house more. im auditioning for another school play on Monday and when summer comes im opening up my own bakery. I love to create things so when I grow up I want to be a costume/ fashion designer, baker, artist, actress, author, and playwrite. I want to make the rest of my life a lot of fun. and I want to travel the world too. I love making other people happy and cheering them up when their sad. it makes me feel good inside. I show them the positive side of life. and really isn't that what everyone should try doing? making others feel good?
You sound like a wonderful person with a wonderful personality and wonderful dreams personally I want to be a writer and what I can say for everyone including you is to fallow your dreams and let no one stop you :D
As you mentioned in this video with Sandman he didn't know what to do with himself and was afraid to move forward with his life. I am currently trying to keep myself active so I don't focus on the negative aspects of life with finishing up my schooling for my bachelors, writing children books, continuing on my acting career once school is done, and in general going out and meeting new people to experience new and great things.
I loved Sandman and Death when I was in High school. Now I want to dig out some of the issues I have and reread them. I am sure I will see them in a new light now. Love the way the way you think, keep up the good work.
Death isnt just about dyeing, its about living your fullest, doing all the things that you did in life, I fight depression and being suicidal. Death as a character was just awesome. she made me smile. she made me want to live. she speaks truth, love, victory, thought... life.. that is whats important.
Thanks Faust, I really needed to hear a lot of that. Not quite sure what I'm going to do to find self worth yet, but you've inspired me to keep looking.
ItsSuperEffective On 9:20 you have just hit the nail on the head on how content creators like myself feel, when people criticize my work, that I have the courtesy to share with others, that they may enjoy it as well. Like the subtle videos I tend to upload that some of them are simple to very tedious where the things they have in common is that I put meticulous detail in most of them and when this "stalker" of sorts dislikes my content I just upload within minutes, it starts damaging my willingness to invest my time into making those for people that may want to see them. Point is, you can't really know what people go through when you either have no intention or fail to know how work is done until you have done it yourself first hand.
Another great video! The best way I know to get to my true self-worth is to literally get out of the way of myself! I find that I am my own worst enemy. I'm pretty self-critical, and that can get in the way of goals that I aspire to, relationships that I have (or had), and worse, if I'm not careful, it can end my life sooner than I would like. To be everything that I can be, is to keep the negative aspect of myself, and have a very firm check on it. it's a constant battle, but one I have confidence in winning.
After hearing you talk about this comic I just had to get it right away. I'm so happy I did and I just want to thank you so much for recommending this.
Thank you so much! This was the most touching and influential video I have seen from you. There should be more of this kind of thing getting to teenagers (myself included) it makes life worth so much more. So again, thank you. For this video and the others. :)
I was someone who was badly bullied, had no friends, had a rumor about me being rape and that why I was so shy and had depression cause of all this so I was suicdal but it stop when I meet my best friend and I'm saying this because I feel my view of life is a lot like Deaths and it make me feel happy when comic have these kind of thing in it because it shows you have people care about you even when their not there
Great video, Faust. Death has always been one of my favorite comic book characters and these videos celebrating her are awesome. Keep up the good work.
Welp, this video was EXCELLENT. Less than (3) videos in my youtube history have received such high-praise. I've heard the Sandman series was amazing, and found the character of Death interesting. In your first video, the character appealed to my interests and curiosities. During this second video, you wowed me with your detailed, well-thought out presentation of her storyline. The emotion you put into explaining the stories, coupled with the passion in your desire to share the messages of the graphic novel, motivated me to look at my life objectively, and push to a higher state of self-awareness. These were all very admirable efforts to which you've earned my highest praise. You now have a new subscriber, a fan, and most of all… …the respect of a young writer, who wants to see the same things take place in storytelling as you.

I'd love to read some of your original material; if such a request is feasible. Who knows? Maybe someday, we could be friends. That would be nice. Welp, best regards to ya' chap! Wishing you a successful writing career, - Walton, Giovanti .V.
This was a really good video. I like how good this channel is at finding lesser known characters and explaining their importance. The way he handles these topics is admirable.
I personally am going to start looking towards the future rather than my past. For years I've looked at all the bad things in my life, my father's death, my sexual assault and I became so frustrated and angry at them because I felt like I was cheated out of my youth but now more than ever I need to find out what makes me happy and just strive towards that - hopefully with my partner by my side :) Thanks for the encouraging video hun :)
That is so amazing.... I love anything that is related to the grim reaper (Death). I am known to be self worth when i am happy to see that those around me are happy and that at times I help them. I get rid of negativity by being confident that i try my best in the world no matter what since i end up being negative easily.
To find my self worth and to stop negativity i just change the lense on how i see things. I try to see the good in everything and even when life gets me down i remind myself how i will get through it. I have experienced some messed up things in my life and for a while i wanted to end my life, but after working through it and finding out that i want to help people, that made me feel like life was worth it.
I've been watching your videos all day today and I must say, you touch on a very sensitive subject in a respectable manner. I can sure admire anyone talking about this while keeping their emotions in control. It's hard, especially in this day and age, to truly keep in touch with our inner spirits. Media can certainly influence us, but at the end of the day, it's our decisions that keeps us here on this planet. We shouldn't look to death for an easy way out of a miserable life, but the end of an amazing journey.
I bought the first book/collection of stories you mentioned, and IT IS BEAUTIFUL It felt weird reading something from DC/Vertigo (I'm a huge supporter of Marvel) but this had more depth than most novels. Thank you so much for the recommendation!
The way I've been fighting negativity is within myself; telling myself that life doesn't stop because I'm angry or sad or if I'm surrounded by it. My family struggles with mental illness and it's soul crushing knowing that I might be diagnosed in the future. I will fight everyday against that fact; that's why I won't let it stop me from going to college this fall.
thanks for this awesome video! for a long time i wanted to know more about vertigos Death and now, thanks to you, she is now my alltime favorite character! thank you! now to start my collection!
I just wanted to say Faust I really enjoy your show. I also was very touched by your thoughtful expression regarding those you have lost to suicide. I have no doubt that you will eventually reach your goal of getting a Superman, or Batman story that delves change. Thanks J.J.Berkey-Lewis a.k.a The Comicgeekdad
I love your videos! Theyre so informative, interesting, and fun. You are doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work! You have a subscriber who will watch and like all of your videos :) P.s. suggestions of a future video. Perhaps one of the history of the young avengers. Particularly Wiccan. He is one of my all time favorite marvel characters. That as well as jean grey and Susan Storm.
Usually the times that I am feeling worthless are when I think about how I'm not good at anything. And really isn't true, I know that, I'm just not good the limited number of things that I do at this moment. So, to find my self worth, I am going to expand my horizons so I can find something that I'm good at and can do and enjoy and fill my life with. And then hopefully that thing can shake away the negativity of others, not just myself. Also, I really love these kinds of things you do, they really make me think about stuff that I might not normally think about. Keep up the awesome job buddy!
I will find the thing that I love be it a person, book, show or action and enjoy it make it my happiness and when I can no longer have it I'll find something new
Perfect video and brilliant interpretations. To find my self worth, as odd as it sounds, is shown to me every day by my family and friends. Being able to make them laugh and smile every day is my self worth. Keep making amazing videos. You've made me a subscriber, and I liked your Facebook page as well.
Thank you so much for giving me a lesson to have a smile on my face for the new day the sun gives us and the inspiration on writing. Keeping doing what you're doing because it makes me happy. :)
You missed a whole comic book series it's called "the Books of Magi" I just started them and there are a few showings of death and this is DC and Vertigo I'd really like it if you could do one on this death she's also really cool
I just wanna say, this is a really well done and profound video on one of my favorite characters. I love her for the perky goth that she is but I also love her because every time she would make an appearance in The Sandman, she always had something profound to teach but was never depressing or condescending or some exaggerated, terrifying portrayal of Death that is the norm. She's just Death. Who better to learn about life and its worth then from her.
For me i'm going to start drawing again. I've always used art as a medium to express my emotion as i have trouble doing it through conventional ways and recently i' haven't been drawing and that's kinda plugged me up and i think this will help me get through all of my hard times by letting myself have a no-holds barred expression of my true thoughts and emotions.
The two parter of death episodes that you did was very touching, when I was younger I was very optimistic, outgoing, and soulful. But as time went on the stress of family,friends and everyday life began to take there toll although I was able to make others feel good about life the light in my life began to fade I slowly began to fall into a depression and started to lose interest in life itself and I hadn't yet realized it. So one night I turned all lights off laid down on my bed closed my eyes and mentally reviewed over all my life's experiences that brought me to that point and held a funeral of sorts for my old self and that next morning I was a new soul to this world. So I can relate to this video on a lot of levels
this video has opened my eyes so much it has actually helped me more then any other teacher could or other person and frankly I might just have to thank deaths overall character of this
When I was younger, I was bullied and ostracized. That, coupled with issues in my family life have left me with a lot of emotional scars and self-esteem issues. Instead of growing outwards, like everyone else, I grew inwards, creating my own world inside my head to escape from the world around me and to have one place where I could be myself without being hurt by people. When I got older, I discovered writing and now I want to be a writer more than anything in the world. My characters have been there for me when no one else was and, even on those nights when I thought that the world would be better without me, they told me that they needed me to tell their stories to the world and that they couldn't let me give up. Now, my entire life is dedicated to paying them back for what they've done for me and to share the worlds and the characters inside my head with the world. If I can do that, then everything I've been through will have been worth it.
Today I was once again feeling suicidal, (this is common for me) not knowing if I should try to take my life or not, confused I decided to watch some videos to take my mind off it (this usually works). I stumbled upon your video, let me just say when you're in that dark space it's next to impossible to see a reason to live. Faust, I would like to thank you for this video. You saved my life, if only for today.
I know this is a bit out of left field, but this new haircut/wig really suits you. It took me a while to get used to your style, but I really enjoy your channel now. Thank you.
First off, already subscribed to you on UA-cam, liked you on Facebook, and, for good measure, followed you on twitter. Second, what I've always wanted to do was travel the world, see some sights, take a road trip, that sort of thing.
My early life was full of people telling me what i should do, what i should be and never anyone asking what i liked or wanted to do. This continued through my current high school life as i was told what subjects i should do, what jobs will fit the economy best, what test results i needed. Because of this i ended up failing a lot of things because i didn't know that they weren't for me, i was just told i should be doing them. in turn, this caused me to feel scared of the judgment of those that i failed, and this fear turned into anxiety and depression. Through all this i became very lonely and felt i couldn't speak out to anyone my only way of dealing with it was to create a fantasy story which embodied my emotions at the time and make the story end with a profound message and meaning that inspired me to continue. Then one day i was finally asked what i wanted to do as part of a careers advice assembly at school, and the only thing i could think of was be happy. later i a guy that acted out really weirdly in my year group all of a sudden decided to be my friend, i hung out with him and his friends and saw we all liked the same things, drawing, video games, anime, etc. because of this new friendship i solved my issue of being sad at school, but i still returned home alone and fearing judgment from others, and so my stories continued. Over time i've dealt with this better and have become much happier, but it was only after being confronted with this question i began to think and see, i need to combine my two ways of being happy. I need to be with friends and create something to call our own, an animation, a song, anything that will inspire others to be happy because life is good, because i never got told it up front. I look forward to my future where i am going to learn to draw and paint and find a group to do this with. I just want to say thank you Faust for your videos, for making me and everyone else smile and for being one of the first real inspirations and role models in my life.
I am going to try my best at everything I do and put my whole self and my attention into each task so I know when it's over that I did everything I could to make it the best it could be. To remove negativity I'm going to try to look at the bright side of each moment and for every bad thing I think of 2 good things to overpower the bad thoughts.
i am not into comics at all, however after you explain these story lines I'd love to know more. things are hard right now but there are great things happening all around me everyday. one thing i do that makes me happy is to knit for other people
my self worth? i would have to say its getting back in touch with roots. im proud of who i am and how i am. i go through every day knowing its a new life. I had a hard past and now going through a new one. my self worth is me. i love my family and friends but i have to also give myself more love so i can give it to them. i hope this inspires people to not waste hate when you can give yourself and others so much more. and to whoever reads this, thank you for giving the time to do so:)
I loved this video. How you reflected the importance of life and how we should change our point of view. You did a great job and I'm looking forward to more! :)
Awesome video, I'm glad to see people so passionate about deep issues such as these. I was tired of wallowing in my self pity and decided I needed a drastic change or I was never going to be happy. I took a whole new lease on life after shifting my perspective to see the good with the bad, try to feel others feelings, connect with them on a deeper level and not always feel I was the most important person. I am making my dreams a reality, one little dream at a time, enjoying the simple things along the way. Life isn't something that should be lived day in day out, it us something you need to squeeze every last drop out of, living with a purpose in your heart and never letting it go. I like to make others happy, and hope they in turn pass it on, so be a better person, its all about how you want to be, despite what has happened to you.
i've been lonely for a long time and i was worried that because im unemployed and out of school i might be worthless. so to shake off those thoughts im going back to college this fall. im setting myself up for success and choosing for myself what my life will be. its making me feel very worthy. :)
Honestly, I've been finding the best way for me to get rid of the negativity in my life is to try new things and meet new people. I've been down on myself recently for a number of reasons. I see a light at the end of my negativity tunnel by means of a goal but its been taking longer than I thought to achieve it. By not getting there yet I've had this growing feeling that I had been chasing after a sunset. Luckily by telling this to a friend of mine she was able to give me a link to a website which had local people setting up little meet ups. I started off simple and decided to try a more sport related meet up which turned out to be a drop in dodgeball game. It was fantastic! I mad a couple new friends, I was able to work the pent up stress out of my body and it turns out I'm quite good at the game so I got a sense of accomplishment I had been missing. I've since gone out to board game meet ups and enjoyed myself there as well. The best way, at least in my case, to fight negativity is to try the little things and explore the options around you. To be honest I don't know how big the site goes but its called meetup.com for those who may feel similar to the way I felt a couple weeks ago. I'm from Canada but if it turns out its global all the better.
I'm gonna find my worth through my experiences and take everything in life from a new perspective when mine isn't enough...life is too short to not be able to enjoy every last minute of it
I used to think of suicide a lot... but after my friend died, freshman year, I saw how many people missed her and how sad i was and had so many questions. What I do is instead of focusing on the things that bother or when I feel lonely I read a book because i love reading. I also started joining a lot of after school groups and activities.
Hey Faust thanks for the look at who you are at this moment and for the don't stay in the past personally it helped me and I'm positive that when I show my friend It might change her mind about hurting herself thanks for the advise. :)
I have been engrossing myself into your videos. They are all amazing and you do an amazing job of informing and entertaining at the exact same time. Sucking people into what you are saying which is truly great~! But, to the main part of this comment;; I want to get rid of negativity by surrounding myself with light; sun light, warm people, happiness, laughter. Things that you just can't sit there and be sad if you are surrounded by them, and I realize my self worth when ever I write one of my stories; creating a world that is unique with characters that no matter how evil or awful they are I can not help but love, giving them adventures of a life time.
my life was hard and was depressed for many years but one day i was left in hospital because of being bullied. i contracted meningitis because i was beating near to black out i was rushed to hospital. i just given up in life but i was so weak at times but i had to be strong for my mum. that was a little back story i just wanted to share with you my dream is just to live everyday to the fullest because i just want to live and make every moment count.
To find myself worth I usually don't need to do something big, but every time someone is alone or depressed even if I’m sad too I’m the first one to step out and help them. I like to remember when I help out a girl that was having a trouble with his boyfriend; he was locking her from the world so I recommended her to cut his relationship, but doing it face to face and calmed. The next day she was so happy that all the way to school was thanking me for that simple advice. I suppose that for making this world better you don't need to be rich or powerful, just helpful and that makes me feel worthy.
Love your work. Not trying to sound sorry for myself. Not to long ago I found out that my mother has cancer, I have been a negative person almost all my life, so as of right now I have started to stop thinking negatively and forcing myself to start thinking positive because I feel that my negative energy would not help the long healing process that my mom has to go through as well be strong for the rest of the family. And thanks for the recommendation going to try to get a hold of it
for 5 years I've watched anime and it's something I would actually like to try and expand my world to so I'm going to try to become a animator it may seem near impossible now but that may change like in the term of 4 years maybe not even that I just got to keep at it.
I like the way you think, But it isn't easy beeing a animator I joust finished high school and i have still a lot to learn. But if you work hard and have emagination you can do it. Good luck. (: (sorry for my bad english)
my self worth is video games and to design new worlds and characters and to shave negativity from my life to just be happy with whats around and the wonders of the earth and to never let stupid negative things get to me
i will start to wite more and more postive poems and to improve my writings skills plus get intouch with my beloved ones and i will start to get closer to god that what i will do to shack negitivity off, and this is one of your best videos i love this one and i like your hair it reminds me of the suicide squad's harly quin :D :D
To quote Gintoki Sakata: "If you've got time to fantasize about a beautiful ending, why not live beautifully until the end?" This video, plus this quote, plus some other events made me realize that I have to live, and have fun while doing it.
In truth, I don't have a lot to really do with anything about changing things in my life so it's happy or make me realize my self-worth. I want to change other peoples lives, like my sisters and my friends who battle depression almost every single day of their lives. I see their needs to be greater than mine and I want to strive towards any goal to help them see that they are not alone and they can conquer their depression with the help of friends. I've already had to convince my sister to not do away with herself on a few occasions, and I am pretty sure that I am one of the few people that she is staying around for. Thankfully she is getting better and so are my friends. I hope there will be many more people who will continue to stick around until their actual time to accept the welcoming and warm embrace of Death herself.
Not entering the give away because I have the comics but just wanted to say thanks, because they got me through one of the darkest times in my life and I want other people to experience it. Neil will always have a place in my heart.
if you want to start reading neils stuff more specifically relating to death and hidden meanings then, I'd suggest starting of with the sandman because there is a lot to take away from there. Novel wise I'd say american gods first then coraline or neverwhere. If you are interested in the environment and art then I'd say black orchid.
I for one have many goals in life such as owning every game made for Atari and calico vision up to PlayStation one but my biggest goal is to make my own creative world come to life i some form or another i think one way to do this is to make books or even comic books of it. The things you said in this video is very inspirational and awesome keep up the god work!
I really like that you made this series about death. I really makes me feel better about my situation with my depression and my bdp (not bipolar disease fyi)
DUDE! You were a comic guy, than in this video you turned into a wise guru with the secrets of a good life o.O AMAZING!
i came for some comicbook character information and got some awesome live advice . i think death is a good source of motivation. if humans would not die they would not see any reason for change.
I may be only 15 but I want to share my idea anyway. I have high functioning Autism and im in the top half of my freshmen high school class. I'm a theatre kid and my real family is all of my friends in drama club. I finally have friends who don't see me as some girl with Autism but an actual person with real feelings. the only negativity ( wich I try to ignore most of the time but never works) is my family. My mom's boyfriend is ruining our live. he's manipulating my mother and sheis so blind to it that she won't listen to anyone. he is a monster and pure evil. but I am making my life better by making my life as fun as possible and getting out of the house more. im auditioning for another school play on Monday and when summer comes im opening up my own bakery. I love to create things so when I grow up I want to be a costume/ fashion designer, baker, artist, actress, author, and playwrite. I want to make the rest of my life a lot of fun. and I want to travel the world too. I love making other people happy and cheering them up when their sad. it makes me feel good inside. I show them the positive side of life. and really isn't that what everyone should try doing? making others feel good?
i love your spirit.
Deborah Kamanzi aww thank you! :)
You sound like a wonderful person with a wonderful personality and wonderful dreams personally I want to be a writer and what I can say for everyone including you is to fallow your dreams and let no one stop you :D
amen to that! you sound pretty swell yourself! :)
yer right and I never ever thought of giving up! I actually auditioned to be in my highschool play again! im hoping to get head of costume department
As you mentioned in this video with Sandman he didn't know what to do with himself and was afraid to move forward with his life. I am currently trying to keep myself active so I don't focus on the negative aspects of life with finishing up my schooling for my bachelors, writing children books, continuing on my acting career once school is done, and in general going out and meeting new people to experience new and great things.
(Note I am Ryan Finch and I liked your page as soon as I discovered your channel which is really awesome by the way)
Thank you.
I enjoy your passion of Death of the Endless, shes my favourite in any comic
I loved Sandman and Death when I was in High school. Now I want to dig out some of the issues I have and reread them. I am sure I will see them in a new light now.
Love the way the way you think, keep up the good work.
Death isnt just about dyeing, its about living your fullest, doing all the things that you did in life, I fight depression and being suicidal. Death as a character was just awesome. she made me smile. she made me want to live. she speaks truth, love, victory, thought... life.. that is whats important.
Thanks Faust, I really needed to hear a lot of that.
Not quite sure what I'm going to do to find self worth yet, but you've inspired me to keep looking.
ItsSuperEffective On 9:20 you have just hit the nail on the head on how content creators like myself feel, when people criticize my work, that I have the courtesy to share with others, that they may enjoy it as well.

Point is, you can't really know what people go through when you either have no intention or fail to know how work is done until you have done it yourself first hand.
your video's are very meaningful not only to comics but life itself.
Holy crap that was epic! Great video I want to start reading this RIGHT NOW x
Another great video! The best way I know to get to my true self-worth is to literally get out of the way of myself! I find that I am my own worst enemy. I'm pretty self-critical, and that can get in the way of goals that I aspire to, relationships that I have (or had), and worse, if I'm not careful, it can end my life sooner than I would like.

This is episode is AMAZINGLY well put together!!! :) thanks so much, love it!
After hearing you talk about this comic I just had to get it right away. I'm so happy I did and I just want to thank you so much for recommending this.
Thank you for being who you are!
Faust Koiv, you have changed my outlook on life for the better. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This was the most touching and influential video I have seen from you.
There should be more of this kind of thing getting to teenagers (myself included) it makes life worth so much more.
So again, thank you.
For this video and the others. :)
I was someone who was badly bullied, had no friends, had a rumor about me being rape and that why I was so shy and had depression cause of all this so I was suicdal but it stop when I meet my best friend and I'm saying this because I feel my view of life is a lot like Deaths and it make me feel happy when comic have these kind of thing in it because it shows you have people care about you even when their not there
This was unbelievably philosophical.
Amazing.
Great video, Faust. Death has always been one of my favorite comic book characters and these videos celebrating her are awesome. Keep up the good work.
Welp, this video was EXCELLENT.
Less than (3) videos in my youtube history have received such high-praise.
I've heard the Sandman series was amazing, and found the character of Death interesting. In your first video, the character appealed to my interests and curiosities.
During this second video, you wowed me with your detailed, well-thought out presentation of her storyline. The emotion you put into explaining the stories, coupled with the passion in your desire to share the messages of the graphic novel, motivated me to look at my life objectively, and push to a higher state of self-awareness.
These were all very admirable efforts to which you've earned my highest praise.
You now have a new subscriber, a fan, and most of all…
…the respect of a young writer, who wants to see the same things take place in storytelling as you. Seriously, your idea for Death at the end of time hearing the door knock when she's been alone for a millennia? GENIUS!!
I'd love to read some of your original material; if such a request is feasible.
Who knows? Maybe someday, we could be friends. That would be nice.
Welp, best regards to ya' chap!
Wishing you a successful writing career,
- Walton, Giovanti .V.
This was a really good video. I like how good this channel is at finding lesser known characters and explaining their importance. The way he handles these topics is admirable.
This one is your best video in my opinion. I love the philosophical! A lot of those I can relate and it felt like a needle pricked.
I have struggled with depression for a very large portion of my life. This episode was so moving and amazing.
I personally am going to start looking towards the future rather than my past. For years I've looked at all the bad things in my life, my father's death, my sexual assault and I became so frustrated and angry at them because I felt like I was cheated out of my youth but now more than ever I need to find out what makes me happy and just strive towards that - hopefully with my partner by my side :) Thanks for the encouraging video hun :)

That is so amazing.... I love anything that is related to the grim reaper (Death). I am known to be self worth when i am happy to see that those around me are happy and that at times I help them. I get rid of negativity by being confident that i try my best in the world no matter what since i end up being negative easily.
I really like you. I feel really touched by what you have said in this video. I like all your videos and you are awesome!
faust this has to be your best video yet you hit where i live thank you man
To find my self worth and to stop negativity i just change the lense on how i see things. I try to see the good in everything and even when life gets me down i remind myself how i will get through it. I have experienced some messed up things in my life and for a while i wanted to end my life, but after working through it and finding out that i want to help people, that made me feel like life was worth it.
this video is just timeless gold. I watched this a few years back. and so many things in this videos made me weep..❤ I will always respect you Faust
I've been watching your videos all day today and I must say, you touch on a very sensitive subject in a respectable manner. I can sure admire anyone talking about this while keeping their emotions in control. It's hard, especially in this day and age, to truly keep in touch with our inner spirits. Media can certainly influence us, but at the end of the day, it's our decisions that keeps us here on this planet. We shouldn't look to death for an easy way out of a miserable life, but the end of an amazing journey.
I bought the first book/collection of stories you mentioned, and IT IS BEAUTIFUL It felt weird reading something from DC/Vertigo (I'm a huge supporter of Marvel) but this had more depth than most novels. Thank you so much for the recommendation!
The way I've been fighting negativity is within myself; telling myself that life doesn't stop because I'm angry or sad or if I'm surrounded by it. My family struggles with mental illness and it's soul crushing knowing that I might be diagnosed in the future. I will fight everyday against that fact; that's why I won't let it stop me from going to college this fall.
thanks for this awesome video! for a long time i wanted to know more about vertigos Death and now, thanks to you, she is now my alltime favorite character! thank you! now to start my collection!
"The chemicals put inside a hotdog to make it aDICKtive"
omg xD I can't even
I just wanted to say Faust I really enjoy your show. I also was very touched by your thoughtful expression regarding those you have lost to suicide. I have no doubt that you will eventually reach your goal of getting a Superman, or Batman story that delves change. Thanks

Wow Faust. I really enjoyed this episode. Really good morals and ideals here. Thanks man, I needed that.
death is such a cool character. thanks for the vid faust
Loved this one, Faust! All your videos are great!
I love your videos! Theyre so informative, interesting, and fun. You are doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work! You have a subscriber who will watch and like all of your videos :)
P.s. suggestions of a future video. Perhaps one of the history of the young avengers. Particularly Wiccan. He is one of my all time favorite marvel characters. That as well as jean grey and Susan Storm.
Usually the times that I am feeling worthless are when I think about how I'm not good at anything. And really isn't true, I know that, I'm just not good the limited number of things that I do at this moment. So, to find my self worth, I am going to expand my horizons so I can find something that I'm good at and can do and enjoy and fill my life with. And then hopefully that thing can shake away the negativity of others, not just myself. Also, I really love these kinds of things you do, they really make me think about stuff that I might not normally think about. Keep up the awesome job buddy!
I will find the thing that I love be it a person, book, show or action and enjoy it make it my happiness and when I can no longer have it I'll find something new
Perfect video and brilliant interpretations. To find my self worth, as odd as it sounds, is shown to me every day by my family and friends. Being able to make them laugh and smile every day is my self worth. Keep making amazing videos.
You've made me a subscriber, and I liked your Facebook page as well.
Thank you so much for giving me a lesson to have a smile on my face for the new day the sun gives us and the inspiration on writing. Keeping doing what you're doing because it makes me happy. :)
You missed a whole comic book series it's called "the Books of Magi" I just started them and there are a few showings of death and this is DC and Vertigo I'd really like it if you could do one on this death she's also really cool
I didn't miss anything, at the beginning of the episode I do state that I am exclusively talking about "death the deluxe edition"
Oh sorry I didn't really get that fact but if you saw my comment mean I just was a bit confused. Also your really cool!
I didn't think it was mean ^^;; Sorry, I just come across a bit harsh over text.
Thank you for understanding! Also I love your videos!
ItsSuperEffective Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me where you get all your wisdom from.
Clicked video for comic talks, stayed for philosophical talks.
Thanks you got me into comics, your the best
I just wanna say, this is a really well done and profound video on one of my favorite characters. I love her for the perky goth that she is but I also love her because every time she would make an appearance in The Sandman, she always had something profound to teach but was never depressing or condescending or some exaggerated, terrifying portrayal of Death that is the norm. She's just Death. Who better to learn about life and its worth then from her.
For me i'm going to start drawing again. I've always used art as a medium to express my emotion as i have trouble doing it through conventional ways and recently i' haven't been drawing and that's kinda plugged me up and i think this will help me get through all of my hard times by letting myself have a no-holds barred expression of my true thoughts and emotions.
The two parter of death episodes that you did was very touching, when I was younger I was very optimistic, outgoing, and soulful. But as time went on the stress of family,friends and everyday life began to take there toll although I was able to make others feel good about life the light in my life began to fade I slowly began to fall into a depression and started to lose interest in life itself and I hadn't yet realized it. So one night I turned all lights off laid down on my bed closed my eyes and mentally reviewed over all my life's experiences that brought me to that point and held a funeral of sorts for my old self and that next morning I was a new soul to this world. So I can relate to this video on a lot of levels
Faust I think your UA-cam videos are amazing I love watching them. I would never criticize your work because it is awesome.
this video has opened my eyes so much it has actually helped me more then any other teacher could or other person and frankly I might just have to thank deaths overall character of this
Great video, thanks its had been a hard time, but it really help to hear about this comic.
Death is also in The Dead Boy Detectives, her debut in DC's New 52. Plus Vertigo Comics is now an imprint of DC Comics.
When I was younger, I was bullied and ostracized. That, coupled with issues in my family life have left me with a lot of emotional scars and self-esteem issues. Instead of growing outwards, like everyone else, I grew inwards, creating my own world inside my head to escape from the world around me and to have one place where I could be myself without being hurt by people. When I got older, I discovered writing and now I want to be a writer more than anything in the world. My characters have been there for me when no one else was and, even on those nights when I thought that the world would be better without me, they told me that they needed me to tell their stories to the world and that they couldn't let me give up. Now, my entire life is dedicated to paying them back for what they've done for me and to share the worlds and the characters inside my head with the world. If I can do that, then everything I've been through will have been worth it.
Oh god seeing this video and you talking about neil gaiman makes me so happy! xD
Literally right as you talked about Neil Good Omens appears in my peripheral
the death comic of elemental girl is my favorite comic, just the ability to explore the character was profound
You're a very positive and friendly guy. i'm sure you'll help a lot a people in the long run. keep at it.
Today I was once again feeling suicidal, (this is common for me) not knowing if I should try to take my life or not, confused I decided to watch some videos to take my mind off it (this usually works). I stumbled upon your video, let me just say when you're in that dark space it's next to impossible to see a reason to live. Faust, I would like to thank you for this video. You saved my life, if only for today.
I know this is a bit out of left field, but this new haircut/wig really suits you. It took me a while to get used to your style, but I really enjoy your channel now. Thank you.
I absolutely loved this video!!
First off, already subscribed to you on UA-cam, liked you on Facebook, and, for good measure, followed you on twitter. Second, what I've always wanted to do was travel the world, see some sights, take a road trip, that sort of thing.
Much respect Faust. Much respect
My early life was full of people telling me what i should do, what i should be and never anyone asking what i liked or wanted to do. This continued through my current high school life as i was told what subjects i should do, what jobs will fit the economy best, what test results i needed. Because of this i ended up failing a lot of things because i didn't know that they weren't for me, i was just told i should be doing them. in turn, this caused me to feel scared of the judgment of those that i failed, and this fear turned into anxiety and depression. Through all this i became very lonely and felt i couldn't speak out to anyone my only way of dealing with it was to create a fantasy story which embodied my emotions at the time and make the story end with a profound message and meaning that inspired me to continue. Then one day i was finally asked what i wanted to do as part of a careers advice assembly at school, and the only thing i could think of was be happy. later i a guy that acted out really weirdly in my year group all of a sudden decided to be my friend, i hung out with him and his friends and saw we all liked the same things, drawing, video games, anime, etc. because of this new friendship i solved my issue of being sad at school, but i still returned home alone and fearing judgment from others, and so my stories continued. Over time i've dealt with this better and have become much happier, but it was only after being confronted with this question i began to think and see, i need to combine my two ways of being happy. I need to be with friends and create something to call our own, an animation, a song, anything that will inspire others to be happy because life is good, because i never got told it up front. I look forward to my future where i am going to learn to draw and paint and find a group to do this with. I just want to say thank you Faust for your videos, for making me and everyone else smile and for being one of the first real inspirations and role models in my life.
I am going to try my best at everything I do and put my whole self and my attention into each task so I know when it's over that I did everything I could to make it the best it could be. To remove negativity I'm going to try to look at the bright side of each moment and for every bad thing I think of 2 good things to overpower the bad thoughts.
i am not into comics at all, however after you explain these story lines I'd love to know more. things are hard right now but there are great things happening all around me everyday. one thing i do that makes me happy is to knit for other people
my self worth? i would have to say its getting back in touch with roots. im proud of who i am and how i am. i go through every day knowing its a new life. I had a hard past and now going through a new one. my self worth is me. i love my family and friends but i have to also give myself more love so i can give it to them. i hope this inspires people to not waste hate when you can give yourself and others so much more. and to whoever reads this, thank you for giving the time to do so:)
I loved this video. How you reflected the importance of life and how we should change our point of view. You did a great job and I'm looking forward to more! :)
Death is not about dying but its about living the best way possible,
Love that saying. And I love this one " I never fear dying. I only fear never trying. ( :
Awesome video, I'm glad to see people so passionate about deep issues such as these. I was tired of wallowing in my self pity and decided I needed a drastic change or I was never going to be happy. I took a whole new lease on life after shifting my perspective to see the good with the bad, try to feel others feelings, connect with them on a deeper level and not always feel I was the most important person. I am making my dreams a reality, one little dream at a time, enjoying the simple things along the way.
Life isn't something that should be lived day in day out, it us something you need to squeeze every last drop out of, living with a purpose in your heart and never letting it go. I like to make others happy, and hope they in turn pass it on, so be a better person, its all about how you want to be, despite what has happened to you.
i've been lonely for a long time and i was worried that because im unemployed and out of school i might be worthless. so to shake off those thoughts im going back to college this fall. im setting myself up for success and choosing for myself what my life will be. its making me feel very worthy. :)
I liked and favorite this video. I loved this.
Honestly, I've been finding the best way for me to get rid of the negativity in my life is to try new things and meet new people. I've been down on myself recently for a number of reasons. I see a light at the end of my negativity tunnel by means of a goal but its been taking longer than I thought to achieve it. By not getting there yet I've had this growing feeling that I had been chasing after a sunset. Luckily by telling this to a friend of mine she was able to give me a link to a website which had local people setting up little meet ups. I started off simple and decided to try a more sport related meet up which turned out to be a drop in dodgeball game. It was fantastic! I mad a couple new friends, I was able to work the pent up stress out of my body and it turns out I'm quite good at the game so I got a sense of accomplishment I had been missing. I've since gone out to board game meet ups and enjoyed myself there as well. The best way, at least in my case, to fight negativity is to try the little things and explore the options around you.
To be honest I don't know how big the site goes but its called meetup.com for those who may feel similar to the way I felt a couple weeks ago. I'm from Canada but if it turns out its global all the better.
I'm gonna find my worth through my experiences and take everything in life from a new perspective when mine isn't enough...life is too short to not be able to enjoy every last minute of it
I used to think of suicide a lot... but after my friend died, freshman year, I saw how many people missed her and how sad i was and had so many questions. What I do is instead of focusing on the things that bother or when I feel lonely I read a book because i love reading. I also started joining a lot of after school groups and activities.
wow, I really enjoy this one. Keep up the good job :)
Hey Faust thanks for the look at who you are at this moment and for the don't stay in the past personally it helped me and I'm positive that when I show my friend It might change her mind about hurting herself thanks for the advise. :)
I have been engrossing myself into your videos. They are all amazing and you do an amazing job of informing and entertaining at the exact same time. Sucking people into what you are saying which is truly great~! But, to the main part of this comment;; I want to get rid of negativity by surrounding myself with light; sun light, warm people, happiness, laughter. Things that you just can't sit there and be sad if you are surrounded by them, and I realize my self worth when ever I write one of my stories; creating a world that is unique with characters that no matter how evil or awful they are I can not help but love, giving them adventures of a life time.
my life was hard and was depressed for many years but one day i was left in hospital because of being bullied. i contracted meningitis because i was beating near to black out i was rushed to hospital. i just given up in life but i was so weak at times but i had to be strong for my mum. that was a little back story i just wanted to share with you my dream is just to live everyday to the fullest because i just want to live and make every moment count.
To find myself worth I usually don't need to do something big, but every time someone is alone or depressed even if I’m sad too I’m the first one to step out and help them. I like to remember when I help out a girl that was having a trouble with his boyfriend; he was locking her from the world so I recommended her to cut his relationship, but doing it face to face and calmed. The next day she was so happy that all the way to school was thanking me for that simple advice. I suppose that for making this world better you don't need to be rich or powerful, just helpful and that makes me feel worthy.
this was a good video on the history of death
Love your work. Not trying to sound sorry for myself. Not to long ago I found out that my mother has cancer, I have been a negative person almost all my life, so as of right now I have started to stop thinking negatively and forcing myself to start thinking positive because I feel that my negative energy would not help the long healing process that my mom has to go through as well be strong for the rest of the family. And thanks for the recommendation going to try to get a hold of it
for 5 years I've watched anime and it's something I would actually like to try and expand my world to so I'm going to try to become a animator it may seem near impossible now but that may change like in the term of 4 years maybe not even that I just got to keep at it.
I like the way you think, But it isn't easy beeing a animator I joust finished high school and i have still a lot to learn. But if you work hard and have emagination you can do it. Good luck. (:
(sorry for my bad english)
not that bad but that's the main reason im going to college tho
How it work out?
I am going to take a walk and look at all the amazing things to live for
Life is just a chapter of a book death is the page to the next chapter
my self worth is video games and to design new worlds and characters and to shave negativity from my life to just be happy with whats around and the wonders of the earth and to never let stupid negative things get to me
i will start to wite more and more postive poems and to improve my writings skills plus get intouch with my beloved ones and i will start to get closer to god that what i will do to shack negitivity off, and this is one of your best videos i love this one and i like your hair it reminds me of the suicide squad's harly quin :D :D
You just earned another subscriber.
To quote Gintoki Sakata: "If you've got time to fantasize about a beautiful ending, why not live beautifully until the end?" This video, plus this quote, plus some other events made me realize that I have to live, and have fun while doing it.
Thanks you so much ... Much wisdom in this video ... Bless u 😊
In truth, I don't have a lot to really do with anything about changing things in my life so it's happy or make me realize my self-worth. I want to change other peoples lives, like my sisters and my friends who battle depression almost every single day of their lives. I see their needs to be greater than mine and I want to strive towards any goal to help them see that they are not alone and they can conquer their depression with the help of friends. I've already had to convince my sister to not do away with herself on a few occasions, and I am pretty sure that I am one of the few people that she is staying around for. Thankfully she is getting better and so are my friends. I hope there will be many more people who will continue to stick around until their actual time to accept the welcoming and warm embrace of Death herself.
im loving this
Neil-... for helping bring my FAVORITE (mononoke) animated movie of my life to the western world- THANKYOU!~!!!!!! TwT
this convinced me to buy the book...best purchase all year
Great video with wise words. Although we are from different walks on life i agree with ever word you say.
Not entering the give away because I have the comics but just wanted to say thanks, because they got me through one of the darkest times in my life and I want other people to experience it. Neil will always have a place in my heart.
if you want to start reading neils stuff more specifically relating to death and hidden meanings then, I'd suggest starting of with the sandman because there is a lot to take away from there. Novel wise I'd say american gods first then coraline or neverwhere. If you are interested in the environment and art then I'd say black orchid.
I for one have many goals in life such as owning every game made for Atari and calico vision up to PlayStation one but my biggest goal is to make my own creative world come to life i some form or another i think one way to do this is to make books or even comic books of it. The things you said in this video is very inspirational and awesome keep up the god work!
