I literally cannot express how much I love John and Hank Green. John, you have made my love for books ever more strong, and made me want to reread the great Gatsby with a better and more passionate fervor than I had before. Hank, you have made my mind wonder about all the amazing wonders that the Earth could possibly have in store for my life, and I could not be more grateful for the two of you.

John Green, you are a walking novel. As Hazel had said to Van Houten, "frankly I'd read your grocery lists"

That question,"are there more grains of sand on earth or stars in the sky" was very clever because it relates to one of the quotes in your book, "some infinities are simply larger than other infinities"

The description of symbolism was outstanding. I'm most excited that one of my favorite movie directors, Wes Craven, just watched a short I did and said that I should be a professional. It's just made me unbelievably elated. I am not looking forward to the pendulum swing on this one.

In which John Green answers real questions from real nerdfighters on a range of issues from why writers use symbols to whether there are more stars or grains of sand on earth. Question Tuesday: TFIOS Movie, Existential Crises, and Symbolism

I vote for John and Hank to be the next Doctor Who companions. I can see the TARDIS in space, the Doctor opens the doors, and the two look out to the universe. And then Hank would say, "DUDE, NO EDGE."

Dear John: Since An Imperial Afflection doesn't actually exist; YOU SHOULD WRITE IT. That would be like the best thing ever. Sincerely, everyone who has read The Fault In Our Stars.

Inside the camera? But... but... you're inside my computer...

My friend just went to your conference in Indianapolis and he got my copy of TFIOS signed for me. I can't even begin to explain the joy I felt when I saw your signature in my book. You are such an amazing author and I love your work more than I imagined I could. Thank you for making the world a better place through your literature!

Wow. I should think more about what exciting things are on the horizon. ALSO, you've mastered the art of half-blinking to not-blinking. I felt like we were having a staring contest and you won like 20 times.

Every time I see a new Vlogbrothers video in my subscriptions my heart does a little leap for joy

This is the first video iv actually fully watched of yours but even the wording in this is as beautiful as in TFIOS. You have made me cry and laugh and question EVERYTHING. In away I feel like I just ruined my life by reading your books but I'm so glad I did because they are the best thing I have ever read in my life.

Hey John, My name is Jose and I’m currently a senior at my high school. As prom approaches, I’ve done some thinking and finally decided to ask my friend. She is a really great person but most of all, she’s loves your books, with The Fault in Our Starts being one of her favorites. So to surprise her, I thought it would be a nice idea to have you make a quick video and ask her to prom for me. I understand you have a busy schedule with KZbin and other things, so I completely understand if you are unable to. Thank you for taking your time in reading this, Jose

Building a backyard fish farm has got me on the up & up at the moment Mr John.. Cheers to all :)

Dear John Green, Hi from a 14 year old fairly nerdy teenager, nerdfighter, and devoted reader!!! I'm in eighth grade. Before I ask my question… I'm not sure if this is fan mail, but I think you are a genius! Apart from being my favorite author, (along with F. Scott Fitzgerald, because the Great Gatsby was just awesome) your (and Hank's) ability to convey such a plethora of information on the vlogbrothers is spectacular! Thanks so much for explaining, one video at a time, the world, from North Korea's horrifying regime to the current conflict in Ukraine. You can explain something in 4 minutes better than my Social Studies teacher can in a semester! Maybe it's because that class is at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="470">7:50</a> in the morning and my teacher only wears horrendous brown sweaters, or maybe it's because I'm busy listening to Simon and Garfunkel or Queen and illegally chewing gum. I'm sure you get this a lot, but I think that the Fault in Our Stars is one of the best books ever written for young adults. I love the fact that it portrays Hazel as not just a Cancer patient to feel bad for, but someone who can have her own adventures and loves, and be loved so beautifully by another human being. If you count the number of hours your readers cried at the end, you will realize that this is yet another symbol of your success! And that's because people only feel like their hearts are being ripped out at the end of a book when they are fully invested. I usually only cry when a fictional character dies, so I can't remember the last time I was as upset as when Augustus Waters died. Awesome name, by the way, but you are responsible for me being suspiciously introverted and sad the day after finishing the book, not to mention how depressed I was when you killed Alaska Young in a different awesome novel. Do you ever go visit schools? Because you should totally come to Glen Rock Middle School in Glen Rock, New Jersey. I think that you possess the gift to convey the entire range of human emotions, from rage to love to regret, with a pen and paper, and that is of enormous magnitude. So thank you for that! I am a huge fan, and I keep convincing my English teacher to play your crash course videos. Getting some kind of reply would make my day, but I promised myself I wouldn't get mad if you didn't respond. I love writing and I have been told that I am a vivacious reader, so my question to you is: What's your favorite book? I'm pretty sure you have a video talking about some great reads, but what is your favorite book of all time? yours truly, Nicole Rothstein P.S.: DFTBA

That must've been the shortest existential crisis in the history of mankind.

I'm most excited about balloon animals. Can you tell?

John Green, I am in utterly in love with your books. You just have a writing style that I'm in love with. The fault in our stars, looking for Alaska, all of these books you have written have given me a different perspective on everything. I could not thank you enough for these books. Although, I'm not entirely happy with how you ended tfios I am still in love with it. You are easily my favorite author of all time. Keep writing because your books are beyond perfection. Thanks again. yrs, Kiara

John Green, I hope you know that you have changed my life and that I love your outlook on life and I think I almost worship you. You're so intelligent and kind and caring about others, which some people are not in this world and I would like to thank you for being you. Question: what is your zodiac sign and do you believe in that sort of stuff?

I'm probably most exited about participating in the maine state science fair on friday. I used algae to create a biofuel that's more efficient than wood.

John, I'm not entirely sure why...but this is one of my favorite videos that you've done recently! It feels very relaxed and comfortable but still exciting and happy! Also, I like that you took more time to talk about certain questions rather than just buzzing through many questions. Also, that is a great shirt!

I'm most excited about my first computer build! And also finishing TFiOS. I'm actively trying not to binge read it so that it gets drawn out and more dramatic. Like being really hungry and then deciding to make a pot roast, which may take a few hours to finish but is going to be UH-MAZING when it is. (Whoa, did I just use an analogy?)

JOHN GREEN JUST SAID "IT'S A METAPHOR"

Generally, I'm truly excited of the book-turned-movie The Fault In Our Stars. Just the fact that it's premiering in a few months is enough to get me overwhelmed.

I'm excited for summer break! Oh, wait, it's still March? *goes back to bed

Only John Green could turn a Question Tuesday video into an existential crisis.

Does john ever answer fake questions from real nerdfighters, or even real questions from fake nerdfighters? That would make an entertaining video sometime

I just got offered my first job as a paid dance photographer! =D I am the most excited of all the excited in excitementtown. I never thought this would happen and it is and it's like that stupid little fantasy I had isn't that stupid. And isn't really a fantasy any more.

I LOVE the Great Gatsby!! It's one of my favorite books, so the fact that you referenced it made me happy. In fact, I love the book so much that I read my first copy so many times that the binding came undone and I had to get a new one. I just love Fitzgerald's writing so much, but to be honest your writing is right up there tied with him for how much I love it. I love all of your books, and I can't decide which I like better, Looking for Alaska, TFiOS, or Paper Towns. As a matter of fact, the three of them are right up there with Great Gatsby for me. Love you and your work, I wish you the best.

I KNEW, SOMEHOW, YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT THAT DARN GREEN LIGHT, JOHN GREEN.

I'm currently most excited to hear my baby daughter's first word.

Right now I'm most excited about the first session of my own original tabletop game! I've been working on it for ages and I'm very pleased that it's done. We're starting on international tabletop day, April 5th.

Hey John! I was wondering if you could make a video sharing your views on abortion. I know this is a touchy subject, but, more than once, your input on subjects has made me reconsider my previous opinions

Right now I'm most excited that I, at age twenty, finally got the white, male, long haired Syrian hamster named Frito that I've wanted since I was six (yes at age six I specifically wanted a white, male, long haired Syrian hamster named Frito I was a very specific child, and I cried when my parents said I couldn't get one because I was allergic to them). But now that I have him my cats won't leave him alone and they even pushed his cage off the bedside table I had it on. Luckily he didn't get out but I still can't get them to leave him alone.

Hi Mr. Green!! I obviously don't know if you'll see this, but I wanted you to know that I recently shaved off all of my hair in donation to St. Baldrick's Foundation. I also did this two years ago - although, it was long enough then to also donate to Locks of Love. This year, I was about an inch short. I also wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your book and am BEYOND excited to see the movie!!!

Hey, do you have a reference for that study showing a correlation between reading and empathy?

I'm moving out soon so I'm really excited about that new place close to work and in the city. I don't know how the universe conspired to make this affordable but it did.

Right now, I'm most excited about the show I'm currently in! My school is doing Into the Woods and I'm so lucky to have a part. I basically spend every second I'm not in rehearsal counting down until the next rehearsal. I know they say to never wish your life away, but rehearsal is always the best part of my day.

I'm excited about giving a presentation in class, which is odd as presentations normally make me want to cry with nerves. But the subject is something I care and am really enthusiastic about ! :)

The universe (not just the observable one) probably has infinite stars. Not sure if they are infinitely faulty though.

I'm most excited to start getting ready for studying abroad. With the help of you and Hank inspiring me to do more to and to be more, I was able to open so many amazing opportunities and have a bright look on the future.

John Green While watch in this video, I had a wonderful idea. What if you guys wore costumes for question Tuesday? Like banana costumes and cow costumes and tree costumes!

I know that this is sort of random, but you wrote in "Will Grayson, Will Grayson," about Neutral Milk Hotel, who happen to be one of my favorite bands. I was wondering if you could talk about how you got into them, and your opinion on them. I recognize that this is completely arbitrary, I was just wondering.

So, this is an older video, but I had to stop by to say a) TFIOS made me ugly cry and I loved every minute of reading it, and I am now a fan of your videos. Basically you're both wonderful.

I can no longer hear the phrase 'tide goes in, tide goes out' without completing it with 'you can't explain that'. Help!!!

The problem I find with symbolism is too often when it's revealed it becomes obvious but when it's hidden it is useless.

I am most excited about the sudden deluge of young adult novels that I read and love! I'm doing a PhD in literature, so I run the risk of starting to become bored by reading (because, like, it's all I do all day every day. you know. as a full-time job, and anything you do as a job is occasionally boring). But a few weeks ago I impulse took out a few young adult books from the library and i FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS ON FIRE ALL THE TIME NOW. they were very good. very good. books are so exciting. I am having a lot of excitement about being excited about these books.

I'm most excited about two things at the same time: I am about to become a father, and I'm finally nearly finished with the novel I've poured hundreds of hours of work into - the culmination of two dreams I've had for a long time.

Staring into the void is OK ... but the void staring back is scary ...

First of all John, I think it's fabulous that you want to know what we are most excited about. And I personally am most excited to take my first step into the world of adult theatre. I find that theatre has such an effect on people. It can do anything from change lives to something seemingly insignificant like putting a smile on someone's face. This is why I'm excited to progress in my theatrical career. It's what I want to do. I want to give people something to smile about, and even if they don't have a clue who I was, I gave them something to be happy about for a moment.

I am most excited about the job offer I got from an animation studio on a new feature film.

I'm most excited about that Gatsby reference!

You made me cry for the first time in two years. Needless to say, looking for alaska is a fantastic book.

I have a bay standing in the way of my dreams, but the problem there isn't the bay but that there are many green lights and I'm pretty sure I will never get to all of them.

I am excited about quitting my job to pursue art! :D

Most excited about starting grad school in the fall-I've just been accepted to a PhD program at USC for Geophysics!

DFTBA in French would be: NOPDEG or NOPDES as in N'Oubliez Pas D'Être Géniaux/Super! Génial can mean awesome, brilliant or intelligent. Super is closer to great rather than awesome. Choose wisely!

Im most excited to see the fault in our stars movie

I'm really excited for my music trip to Atlanta that is in two days. I've never actually stopped in Atlanta before just passed through, so I'm excited to discover a new city.

Dftba in French is nopêi, which stands for ne oubliez pas être impressiont, and is pronounced en oh pey euh accen circumflex ee. The letters dftba are pronounced day ef tay bey ah.

I'm most excited about moving to a new city in two months!

I'm very happy to have seen you on the React show a few days ago. I'm not sure why your videos weren't in my life before now!

Given an infinite universe, there are infinite stars. But since there are a finite number of ways the universe can be arranged, there are multiple exact copies of everything (an infinite number of them in fact). And so if you define the object like the Earth based on finite characteristics, there are an infinite number of those Earths. And so the number of grains of sand on Earth is technically also infinite. It all comes down to if some infinities really are bigger than others.......

i think they were looking for something more like: "N'oubliez pas d'être impressionnant." but i don't know french, that was a random translation. translated back it worked: "Do not forget to be awesome".

Some of my Nerdfighter friends and I are going to be at the Indy 500 marching with the Purdue All-American Marching band this year! Hope to see you there!

You do not look into the void John Green . . . . THE VOID LOOKS INTO YOU. ' _ '

Existential crisis? It's okay John, danisnotonfire has plenty of experience, he can help you out with that.

I am most excited about finally emerging from the cold, endless dark of winter and propelling into sunshine and the happiness brought by the seasons that are not winter.

What am I excited about? Um... Er... My birthday, which is in a few months... But it's my 18th so I'm having a party! And I'll get to hang with an old friend whom I haven't seen in over 2 years! Also, TFiOS movie, new episodes of Doctor Who (coming out in August) and a couple other things...

I'm excited about the job I just got :D

I am excited about rediscovering painting. I haven't painted since I was a kid and I can't believe how much fun I'm having! And you're right. That is an excellent question to ask myself daily.

If you're staring into the void, and I'm watching this video, that means I am the void. I am currently staring at you as you speak. Nietzsche, eat your heart out.

I'm most excited about being reunited with my Fiance I haven't seen in 8 months and finally being able to marry her. Visa's are a pain in the butt o,0.

I am so super excited about going back to visit my friends at uni, and watching the play they have all worked so hard on. And going to a camp fire. And squeeing over all the stuff. And just being able to share the same space/time with my favourite people!

Well what excites me makes me sound like an awful person but I am excited to see my family, that has been visiting for 3 weeks, go home in a few days. Its not that I don't love them but I am a introvert who needs a little alone time to decompress.

At what point does a small rock become sand

I'm a new Nerdfighter! And I'm really excited about my spring break next week and hanging out with all of my friends!

I'm pretty excited about this ring on my finger and what it may mean about my not-too-distant future ;)

I watched this for the 'existential crises' explanation hoping it would somehow help me unravel the web of confusion that is my future.

I'm excited about being back from spring break, finishing teaching The Great Gatsby, moving on to the Harlem Renaissance, a quick Mississippi Writers unit (which will culminate with A Streetcar Named Desire") and the melancholy joy of graduation. Thanks for asking, John.

I'm excited about Winter Soldier. There I said it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="156">2:36</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="174">2:54</a>... The Great Gatsby, anyone? :P

That was perhaps my favorite question Tuesday video. There were both simple and complex questions. Plus, John seems happy (like, particularly happy) which makes me happy. :)

I'm excited to get my cast off soon! Goodbye awkwardly asking friends to do up my zipper. Hello two hands!

I'm most excited about being excited about everything right now, there isn't any one thing at the moment. Don't talk about the void John, I'm in a good mood :P.

I never really leave comments, but I love the question "What are you most excited about right now?" almost as much as I love the answer. Almost. Right now, I am excited by new content-- the creations of artists I love and adore.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="67">1:07</a> - So am I the void staring back into you? 0_o

In case anyone's curious, (nobody's actually curious, but let's suppose), it's more like "deh-ef-teh-beh-ah".

I'm most excited about our county's Battle of the Books competition tomorrow, two of the books being TFiOS and Catcher in the Rye. I'm pumped up to answer book questions!!!

I'm excited about plays and books and girlfriends and the thought that at some point, this horrible debilitating cold will go away! I am less excited bout essays and exams and disappearing planes and the overwhelming paranoia that this debilitating cold could be the virus found in permafrost, which has already begun to evolve.

LOL i heard existential crisis and thought of Dan :D

It's taken me just over a month but I am finally up to date with all of these videos.

Who else caught the Great Gatsby reference>?

The Great Gatsby...man, was that a symbolic book or what?

Bay...green light.... I smell Gatsby! I'm probably most excited about the Divergent movie as of late. But TFioS is always there too!

im most excited for the latest chapter of one piece

Currently, I'm just really excited about creating. I have been sewing and scrapbooking, and after a few days away from my normal environment, I've found the story that I've wanted to write for what feels like forever.

I'm excited to hopefully come out of my dentist appointment still alive in a couple of hours...because the dentist sucks :( Also, my son is learning to potty train so no diapers is exciting :p

I am really excited about my friend finishing TFIOS so we can suffer together.

I'm most excited about deciding to watch your videos for the first time today, and instantly becoming a huge fan
