vlogbrothers

This piece is to represent a community this community nerdfighteria and four of its biggest members are John and Hank Green, Esther Earl, and Emily Graslie.On January 1, 2007 Hank Green posted the first vlogbrothers video and in this video he explained that he wanted to make a new kind of brothership "brotherhood 2.0". This brotherhood would be between him and his brother, a well published author.For the next year they only communicate with video blogs and possibly phone calls. There are consequences if the brother does not post a video on a weekday.This constant video communication between the two brothers created a community that viewed their conversations everyday.One of the biggest and most interactive person and their  vlogs was a user named cookie4monster4. Cookie4monster4 happen to be a girl trapped at home because of cancer. Her real name was Esther Earl. Esther means star so her parents and her creative the foundation this star won't go out. On August 25, 2010 Esther Earl passed away but the memory and it works live on through nerdfighteria. Emily Graslie is a curator at Zoological Museum At the University of Montana. Hank Green visited the museum one day to do video for vlogbrothers. Emily was so good on camera he wanted to create a YouTube channel just for all the things they do at Museum.
       Now that the explaining is kind of out of the way and get more to the meaning of the piece. John is a author and he has published many books.The most recent is the fault in our stars.the main character in the book Hazel Grace has characteristics that hint the late Esther Earl. Esther Earl's charity sells bracelets on John's website. The anglerfish is a inside joke about John signature and how his J looks like a anglerfish. The anglerfish is pointing to Emily and Emily Deals with exotic animals. John's book has to do with critically ill kids and Esther was a critically ill kid. The bracelets represent hope for a cure and John wants to end when he calls worldsuck.The poster is of a painting made by a 16-year-old boy in the Philippines and then turned into a poster by a girl in Norway and Now the poster is sold on John's website. the poster is a representation of Hazel Grace, which is loosely based off of Esther, and Augustus Waters in Sweden. The poster is made by nerdfighteria and would not exist if it wasn't for vlogbrother.John wanted to create a curse word that was not bad so he came up with French the llama. French the llama would't be a saying it wasn't for vlogbrothers.the star is the symbol for this star won't go out which is a charity.  The project for awesome gathered money and distributes it to the top five charities that get the most videos made by the community. sci show is the educational YouTube channel. Sci show covers interesting things in science which is one of the reasons Hank went to go see Emily.Emily has a degree in the arts and loves photography. The bird skeleton is one of her pictures on her website. it's one of the reasons Hank was drawn to her. Emily was on sci show with Hank and they talked about the white fox which is also the gray fox. The color of the Fox the coat depends on their claimant.Hank and Emily wouldn't be able to make videos for the brain scoop if it wasn't for donations coming from the vlogbrothers community. Something that almost everyone has seen as a dissected wolf and it wouldn't be available if John didn't agree to do vlogs with his brother.James Webb Space Telescope inspires nerdfighters to don't forget to be awesome and dream big. 
           The black background doesn't represent emptiness .It represents the connections that the viewer has not created yet and the more they understand vlogbrothers the more connections the viewer can make.I got all the pictures from the web. By using pictures from the web they came out squared, cut off in some places. The statement I'm trying to get across is that there is a connection between all these pieces and it's a collection inside jokes, stories and fates .
