...I feel like this series is getting surprisingly dark really quickly...

This is the darkest this subarc gets.

Well, that was heartrending. Birch always has these fantastic and heartbreaking emotional scenes. Damnit, Birch! Stop making me cry.

Man, that song from O Brother, Where Art Thou?. I didn't realize how befitting it would actually be for this. How can this audio drama series paint such intricate imagery into my mind while making my clench at my chest as I listen in? I love how you shined light on both sides of the incident between Birch and Roger, and how it's affected them.

As I've listened to these 153 and ongoing chapters, I've made some observations about the bears and their growth that might not be quite right, but are my interpretations on them.

Dipper: Growing up as part of a musical group while dealing with the complications of love and relationships while still trying to enjoy his youth.
Birch: Overcoming the past traumas of his life that made him fearful of connection and temptation.
Stargazer: Learning to allow himself to be vulnerable and move on in life after things kept him from doing so.

I've got a few questions I'm sure that'll be answered in the future chapters.

I look forward to them! Thank you for another amazing chapter! Keep them up!

Responses like this are what keep me going. Thank you.

And thank you and everyone who's been working on this for keeping me hooked.

Just when I was feeling I had everyone figured out, this episode unhinges me again. You are truly a master story teller. The voice of Roger was amazing also.

I know I may be faving these out of order, but gosh it's hard to keep up

I was worried for Birch being around Roger; but I guess being grown up, Birch can take care of himself.

Birch why would you vomit...he could of done that with Grizz...yet...he never did...wonder why it was only Roger he vomited...

Grizz he hated.

Roger he didn't.
