Threads: projects, promises & asks

Everything that runs across videos: projects and rituals, stories, running jokes, promises, predictions, asks and punishments. Each line opens the thread with its dated events.

Dates are upload dates, which set the order. Where the speaker gives a different recording date in the video, it is added as "said on YYYY-MM-DD, implied" (derived from the date said in the video).
