In the meantime... Thesis is going much better than the last year. I haven't made any significant progress with regard to finding a theoretical framework to support my thesis but... I at least don't feel like quitting every day anymore. And my thesis adviser now is SO. MUCH. BETTER. Seriously. Night and fuckin day.
He's actually been consistent so far with the Zoom meetings every two weeks. With the last one, he just wanted an email update every 2 weeks and almost never bothered to reply. Also, with my current adviser, I wait for him to stop talking for a bit so I can say something in response to what he said... and until now I STILL get surprised when he actually

30,000 to 50,000 words. He also said he sees my thesis as having 4 chapters: intro, book 1 discussion, book 2 discussion, conclusion and trying together. And he gave me a freaking guide on how to write a thesis proposal, which he himself wrote/put together (it's just 2 pages, but still). I mean... from NOTHING to THIS is just another world.
