This is long overdue...

Sorry to hear about your struggles Ben. I promise you my fanfics, so maybe that’ll help with u to take ur mind off things. In Vampire Dairies spinoff, Legacies, muses r witches that are a 7th daughter of a 7th daughter, born with the power of inspiration. That’s where I got my idea from, but adding more to avoid copyrights. Muses r ultra rare witches and wizards almost to the point of nonexistent, almost. They are a 7th child of a 7th child (son of son or daughter of daughter). They can inspire people or themselves on anything, anything at all. Even make it latter. For example, when rescuing the albino diricawl Gwyneira, can offer to inspire the lady to make a feed. That will pass down the albinism to her chicks 🐣. But only when ready to breed, until then, the inspiration will be dormant and waiting. Plus as a reflection to rl myths that the muse’s mother was the titaness of memories. They’re human pensieve. Able to look into others people’s memories, copy to share with others, or share their own. And it’s not just what one has seen and heard. It’s all other senses. What one has smelled, tasted, felt what they’ve touched, even perceiving thoughts and emotions of what they themselves or the people were thinking and feeling in all those moments. The final touches. There can never b 2 generations of muses closely together (parent and child). There must always b a gap inbetween, thus making them grandparent and grandchild, regardless of the genders (-pa and -daughter or -ma and -son). Or even distant cousins, the grandchild of ur great uncle or aunt.

Hi Ben - just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. The venerability and breaking that escapism made me even more thankful for this channel. Your videos leading up the release of the game got me through so many hard moments - nothing as hard as what you are going through - but still real life things. The joy and excitement you bring to a silly little game made me feel less alone and so peaceful. Thank you and looking forward to what is next!

Thank you for sharing your story. We all struggle in silence and Hogwarts Legacy including this wonderful community helps get through the bad days.

Been going through some stuff myself lately which is why I haven't been able to catchup with your channel or anything really but whenever I did I've always been enjoying your content and the vibes. Also can't believe we're like 2 months away until 1 year of HL already!

Thanks for sharing your heart with us Ben. This video is another reason why you are one of my favorite content creators and more importantly human beings. All the best to you bro!!!

You’re doing good Ben ❤

Delighted to be part of your fantastic community, Ben! Anticipating magical content from your channel in 2024 and beyond. Thanks for being a Lumos in the community and an inspiring good influencer. Wishing you success in all your future endeavors. More power to you, and may your and your loved ones' health be as robust as a Hippogriff. Happy New Year! 🫰🏻😊

Ben, you've been a real treat to watch this year! I can't wait to see what 2024 holds in store for you!

Aww we all have difficulties in life. But it’s nice to be able to just forget about our problems. If only for a couple moments.

You’re doing great Ben! Happy New Year! Look forward to what is to come from you!

You have succeeded in your goal. My husband recently passed. HL is my way to process my feelings and helps my mental health. Your videos really inspired me as a nongamer and did provide light in the darkest of times. Thank you!!

❤ thank you for sharing Ben you may have made me cry today but you can have a couple of those saved up from all the joy you share with your followers ❤

To start off I’m sorry to hear about your struggles; if anything my dms are open for anyone if you’re needing some support. To add it’s honestly crazy that I’ve been part of the community for a year, sure I don’t talk much in the server but I’m still thankful to be apart of it. I’ve had so many great memories with you, Carlos and the rest of the community. You’ve made my year special and I can’t thank you enough for that; I hope this year will bring you moments like mine as you did for me. It’s been a crazy journey seeing you grow not just as a creator but a person as well, I hope to make many more memories. Thank you Ben and Carlos 🎈🎈

Much love to you and your family Ben! Thank you for all the amazing content this year! 👍🏽🙂❤️

You're the best Ben! Super blessed to have met you this year and looking forward to see what 2024 has in store! Cheers mate! -Mario

Your ideas are amazing. I love absolutely everything. I first found your channel on an old account of mine where you were talking about if you could become a werewolf in Hogwarts Legacy and I almost immediatly subscribed to your channel. I've also been through tough times, nothing like your pain of course, but my best friend is in the middle of israel and palestine war, the girl i've loved for such a long time will never like me back, and your videos were amazing whenever I watched you. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life's struggles with us Ben, its really appreciated 🙏 💙 I would say if life is getting unrelentingly stressful, feel free to share what ever details you think is best so that way we have an idea of whats going on behind the scenes, try & put you first, though you can easily fall in to the trap of not looking after yourself & churn out videos with abandon. I don't just want constant content like a robot pumping out video's everyday. I like to see your personality coming through too especially if you need to share any concerns with in your area that need addressing. Theres no point of ignoring the chaos around you if its goint to get worse & effect you. Last year wasnt great for me at all, I lost my stepmum, she passed away in hospital early September, with family surrounding her....unfortunately I & my dad were not amongst them...We caught covid on the week of her passing...from then on it was 2 weeks of hell followed by what I would say a very disrespectful funeral as if they needed to get it under wraps ASAP...I F**** hated it. I wasnt really in the mood for HL content as other matters needed attending too. This game, & obsessing over it was my escape that & my 🎸. I eventually got back to watching videos but with grief looming over me it took a long time. I mostly obessed over spells & the different combinations we'd be able to pull off when we get curses etc The world has been a tremendous sh** ⛈️ for a few years... not that it hasn't always been that way its more of whats going on around the globe. The weather over my way nothing but constant storms & their stupid naming conventions "storm Douglas" " Storm Pia", I know it's a way of measuring them but its gets stupid...swear the met office is bored. I digress, thanks again for this video Ben & have a great new year. I hope you, your mother, sisters & grandparent's remain safe take care & stay safe my friend 🙏 ❤ 🦅💙

Thank you for sharing. ❤

I'm glad Hogwarts Legacy and your channel has brought you, and so many others, joy and distraction from the burdens of life. I think you're a great guy and I enjoy watching your videos and live streams a lot 🤓 Here's to a new year of new possibilities and hopefully packed with good surprises as well! 🥂

So glad to be apart of this community ❤
