“Listen closely. Do you hear it? You will hear the laughter of thousands as the sky opens up. You will hear the trumpets play their happy sounds. The scalding blood of life will pour down onto us all. Together, we will be still. Together, a feast fit for a king. Together, wielded by love and purest connection. Be still.”
I love this style of horror. The unsettling movements, the relatability coupled with the otherwordly. It's just such mastercraft. God I love your artstyle and work in general.
Is this part of a horror series? I thought this was just a vent piece to talk about the coexistence of social anxiety and depression--I just found it mad relatable and sad tbh lmfao.
absolutely what I was thinking about too. It'd be lovely to have something else in the style of Hylics around. Would be really interesting to see what sort of music and maybe even voice acting could go into it.
the way it cuts to black with nothing but your watermark as the entity solemnly whispers “...wreathed in flames.” is fucking spine-chilling dude you are so good at this
I hid in the comments section during that part, because once you've watched enough analog horror you think there will be a jumpscare at the end of anything.
'you still hide. you are decaying as you breathe' this hit me so hard as someone struggling with depression, as i am quite literally 'decaying' (my teeth), the way you can put this feeling in words, let alone an animation is so impressive
Death and nothingness is ultimately boring, Life and doing something positive is interestingly difficult and fulfilling all hardships will pass with time I Love You
For anybody who *_doesn’t know_* about what Doritos / ROOM is saying at the end, it’s saying: “You still hide..” “You are decaying as you breathe.” “You are still in the basement.” “Wreathed in flames.”
It is painful to watch, but in a cathartic way. It reminds me of my lowest point in depression, when I'm pleading with myself to do something, to climb out of the pit I've fallen into, but I just can't. The words spoken at the end feel very real.
Having anxiety, that last part just feels to personal. It just reminds me of how I'm just burning away my time, crying about not being able to do anything, at all.
I thought I was the only one who felt that way... It's really painfull But at the same time... It motivated me making see that this is not okay and I need to do *something* , I don't want it to continue like this anymore I don't want to be a fucking coward.
im so happy someone shared your stuff on facebook, it was the "they dont know" video i loved it so much i literally screenshot it and reverse image searched to find this channel and honestly its so good keep up the the good work, as a person with bipolar these videos really speak to me when im manic its beautiful in a way.
@@_boisvert163 it's no problem, thank you for getting me into 1 800 pain too I now you used used the start of lurk for thst video and although they're small I live their stuff so thank you for Introducing me to them
@@maf6768 On Facebook people steal videos without crediting the original creators, and they only do this for money, they don't care about the original creator. Some even say they are the original creator when that is false.
Explained (maybe wrong idk): The monster is talking to himself and represent a person dealing with depression. "It has been a year now" -> His mental illness started a year ago. "The cycle continues" -> He feels trapped in a loop. "wake up, watch them" He watches other people progress in their life and leaving him behind. Every day. "Why are you in the basement" -> The basement represent his confort zone. He never goes out, even if he would like too. He feels guilty because he can't progress in his life like the others. The basement is deep in the ground to highlight how stuck he feels and how impossible it is for him to escape the situation. "Do something, anything" His mental illness doesn't permit him to do productive things. He forces himself to work, but he just can't, this is made clear by the fact the he hit the table with his head. Also he can't enjoy other activities, because he forces himself to work. In the end he doesn't work and he doesn't do joyful activities (hobbies for example). That creates the loop he was talking above. This makes him feel useless and not in control of his own life. His pain is worsening, this is made visible by his monsterification. "You still hide" -> He hides from his pain, because he does not escape his confort zone. Which would be stressful, but it would bring him joy in the end and he knows it. "you are decaying as you breathe" The situation is worsening day by day. "You are still in the basement, wreathed in flames" He thinks that the basement is protecting him, but in the end is just making him feel more pain. It's a very beautiful piece of art.
subtitles also say "you fucking coward" after telling himself "do something, anything", Doesn't add much but just shows him hating himself that he can't make any progress.
I feel like, this video especially helps explain what it feels like to be terrified to leave the house, such as agoraphobia. I feel safe and heard just by seeing this tbh
This series really speaks to me, idk why. It’s just so scary to me that hopelessness and isolation can turn someone into a full fledged monster like this. With each episode you can see a new level of sorrow in the main character and I honestly feel bad for him.
It makes me cry because i'm in this situation. No one can understand how horrible it feels when you do nothing in the Day, because you can't tou just feels hopeless and the world doesn't mean anything for you... No one can understand.
"do something. anything. you fucking coward" i'm in a rough bout of self-loathing depression right now and i cannot tell you how much i hate that i don't like being awake, being alive, doing anything, doing nothing, and how many times a day i say this shit to myself. feels almost like being spoken to. keep it real you beautiful soul you
Back when I was depressed I barely even smiled. My life was choked with an agonizing glut of anxiety, loneliness, and stress. When I broke free of the negativity, I found joy. Real joy. I made it out. And I believe you can too. Don't even give up.
I think this is representing a person who is at their low point, hence the basement. He sees everyone else being able to move on with a successful life but he can’t. It drives him mad. I think the ending can be perceived in two ways. 1. A narrator telling “Doritos” (as StarGloomy called him) about the situation he is in 2. “Doritos” is telling us that he represents a viewer of this video that may be at a low point in his life but isn’t doing anything and is trying to warn us that if we don’t do anything it’ll get worse. We’ll “burn”. The homeless people that many people walk past everyday… they were once like us… then they fell into the basement… didn’t try to leave… and now they’re trapped in this hell-like life…
Well in that case, doing anything can lead to failure, failure leads to more emotional damage thus causing more isolation. and eventually, the aberration of a life that was presented in this visual format somewhere in this site called RU-vid supervised by a mentally deranged developer named susan.
This hits me on a deep level, quarantine ended on my country a year and half ago, but i still have deep scars that dont let me focus on my job, the feeling that everything cam crumble down again anytime, and the feeling that i have no control of my life or my destiny Update: this shit didn't age well..
After watching the first video of him being productive and somewhat enjoying life, watching him slam his fucking head into the table was just so fucking heart-crushing and is something I have actually almost to the T lived through. This is the kind of story-telling that needs to be given AAA resources and media-attention. Fucking bravo.
i don't know why, but this way of "animating" makes me feel calm, even though i know this is "cursed", there's something about this artstyle that makes me feel extremely...soft? lazy? it's so soothing it's like im being gently swayed away by flames. Leaving all the poesy aside, this really makes me feel the way i described earlier, i guess you really know how to transmit the feeling to the espectator! (pardon my english in advance)
What I love about these videos is that despite how unsettling and seemingly alien the imagery and audio is, the stuff portrayed is actually really relatable. Feelings of stress, introversion, dissatisfaction with your life situation, that kinda stuff. It makes these videos feel weirdly really human, despite how creepy they can get
These videos remind of s very close friend of mine We're the same age, we both grew up with a dead father and we really had more differences than similarities yet we became so close I always sat with him there in his basement and killed his loneliness by listening to his exaggerated stories about rape and surreal art and materialism and politics and religion and dark RU-vid videos and the Netflix show "mirror".. I listened to all his stories patiently and was really invested and interested to discover what darkness really looked like He was amazed by my ability to be there with him and not get depressed by his company (which is the reason he never had real friendships beside me) that he even called me "Noctuphobia" and called himself "Noctuphilia". To be honest I never really understood most of the things he talked about because they truly were so sadistic and the more he got used to me listening the more he stopped caring about his narration quality and we both ended up in a point where all relationships are tested, One night he drove to my place and talked to me about his emotions and confessed to me that he feels suicidal, I couldn't think of anything to say so I just hugged him as tightly as I could, and told him that I couldn't afford to lose him as I cherished him and loved him so much.. He didn't care, he said he doesn't want to feel sympathy or love, he said he only was able to experience anger.. I couldn't understand and I don't remember most of the conversations we had after that night, but I can clearly remember how disappointed and heart broken I felt when I called him one day and sort of demanded him to seek therapy and look for help because I couldn't deal with him by myself anymore without letting him get in the way of my normal life, he responded "then I'm leaving, i can't stand you anymore either and you know exactly what you did, now hang up or I will do something both of us will regret" After many trials to understand what was going on, he didn't give me a clear answer.. He just left, I've been working on myself and getting back to my life and growing up and maturing But every time I remember him (and oh hell he was with me my whole life I have a ton of memories related to him) I just get sad and anxious for no reason, I miss him and I wish I could talk to him to clear up the misunderstanding and apologise to him for being pushy and sometimes clingy and overwhelming and tell him that I still love him and I want to repair the trust we've both ruptured But I'm far too afraid of the consequences. I still miss him and love him and cherish all the memories I had with him but I wish I'd have just 1 phone call to understand really what went wrong so I would stop consuming coffee and having those sleepless nights thinking about this question. To my dearest friend Mohamed nassar, I haven't talked to you in 8 months. If you're reading this, please contact me, I miss your voice and would love to ask you a question.. How are you doing now?
I really love the animation and story in this video and the rest of the series. It’s just so nerve racking but relatable in a weird way. Keep up the good work!
this fucking hurt for me emotionally, i love this video so much because it reminded me of myself when i was dealing with the worst mental health experiences. the sentences in this video reminded me of all the things i would think. when the character was in front of the paper and pen i instantly thought of a suicide note which made me feel even more emotion, keep up the amazing work
This channel has struck a deep nerve with me in the best way possible, especially this video right here. I've been dealing with neurological problems for the past year now, including memory issues. It's been excruciatingly taxing on my mental state, and we still don't have a completely clear diagnosis (the running theory by my neurologist is that the symptoms are psychosomatic a.k.a somatization, though I'm still hoping to get certain physiologic test done to just make sure). There are days/weeks when my physical condition has been better, and days/weeks where it's worse and extremely trying, especially with the memory issues. Through all of it I've still been able to function well overall (demonstrated somewhat by the videos I've uploaded) but even so, there are periods where I'm frightened of doing almost anything relating to art or social interaction, cause I feel like I won't make any logical sense with my explanations for morals/beliefs that I hold, and I'm constantly horrified at the idea of losing the ability to critical/objectively analyze the world around me and what I feel are major or even minor problems with it, especially during thought provoking conversations with others or sharing thoughts in videos on my own channel. Sometimes the brain fog is so intense that it feels like I could cognitively slip into a dementia like state at any minute (I know from my own research into neurology that is highly unlikely considering the symptoms are not consistent with any physiological damage or degeneration to the brain structure, but still, it's uncertain). And this in my opinion master work of a video perfectly demonstrates the feeling of absolute despair and just wanting to give up on everything, either by hiding away from the outside world or committing suicide. I also love the correlation between this video and your first one, as if this entity's health (physical or psychological, or both) was pretty good to begin with or at the very least stable, but there was something within them that didn't feel quite right, something that for as dull or minuet as it may have been was starting to greatly unsettle them. A looming threat that would then grow out of control and send the entity into total mental and physical instability/disarray, feeling like they won't even be able to escape it. Boiservt, whether you suffer from psychiatric or physiologic issues yourself and have first hand experience with them, or (hopefully) don't suffer from anything majorly debilitating and have just done extensive amounts of research on how these things affect other people, I congratulate you either way for this incredible and intricate storyline you've crafted on this channel. Keep up the good work, and let your creative passions run wild.
Your videos are really good, I love the characters and the atmosphere you give them. It gives me the same vibes as 0_abyssalsomewhere, I'm sure a project like a short videogame or a small movie with the same esthetic would be amazing, a small masterpiece.
The art and horror here remind me a lot of a game called Omori, the main character here seems to have to two opposing personalities or ideas in their head. One wants them to be active, talk to people, leave the house, or as it said "anything". While the other just wants to remain dormant, staying in the basement, only to sit and decay. To some degree its able to realize its own miserable state which is why these two ideas are in its head. It doesn't want to stay in a basement, but nevertheless it does, wreathed in flames.
This is good. I feel like the distorted yet comprehensible voice really adds something to the whole character. And the awkward twitching/moving of the character is very well done and unsettling. Amazing work man.
Honestly, thank you so much for making this video. This video was honestly what helped my mother realize what I was going through as someone with High Functioning Autism who could do nothing but stay inside and watch the others from the outside. Hopefully my therapist and my father watches the video too to help understand me better as well. I'm currently stuck in a bad cycle where the government refused to see that I need legal and financial help since they think that I'm high functioned enough. But the problem is that between my anxiety, stress, depression, and my learning disability, I'm essentially a 22 year old man child who still relies on his parents for pretty much everything. I've never tried to get a job because my mother keeps discouraging me from doing so. That's because of my social awkwardness, how susceptible I can be, and my anxiety that I'm under the threat that it'll go terribly and I'll wind up with another anxiety attack that'll leave me hospitalized again. This is quite embarrassing to admit, but I even have IBS that essentially activates whenever I'm stressed or anxious, which severely hinders me of being able to continue doing anything, even the things I actually love and are usually comfortable to do. I want to be a writer, and yeah, I graduated out of community college with an associates (that I'm still waiting for) with an English major, but I haven't made much progress from there. For many months I've been denied the chance to take my driver's license, and the worst part is that I probably would've been able to take it sooner if not for my ignorance on how to research for alternative solutions and for our financial troubles. And the worst part is that I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this - tasting failure after failure and remaining stuck in my prison. All I could do is just hope, despair, and stick my head in the sand by playing video games and reading fanfiction instead of trying to step a toe out of my comfort zone. Thank you for this masterpiece. It's really helped me understand more about myself and it's helped some people understand more about me.
@@abulletant1147 Please don't call yourself lazy, especially if your "laziness" is actually just a bad cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, and procrastination.
This video actually helped me a lot. Like A LOT. During and after the pandemic, I fell into depression like so many other people. Even after moving back in with my parents, who I thank every day for supporting me, I grew to hate myself more and more every passing day. I couldn't do anything, and I felt like I was decaying away, fizzling out to nothing. I started drinking a lot... Idk why but seeing this animation snapped something in me. Boisvert put these feelings I've had for so long into such a unsettling yet somehow beautiful and poignant way. I was hiding in the basement still, waiting for something to change... It's been nearly 4 months since I saw this video and things have improved already so much. I'm slowly getting back on my feet, getting out more, looking for connections, stopped drinking. It's still a long road ahead to undo 3 years worth of damage (and working through other issues that were apparently below the surface), but I'm slowly gaining back some confidence and hope, even with potholes every now and then. I didn't need some bigger purpose to push me out on this path, I just needed to remember I didn't want to be in that basement anymore
Is... This about depression or anxiety? It would relate to the psa dude, the they don't know one... And i kinda feel identified with the interpretation I made about it
Everytime I watch this video, a chill is sent down my spine. I can feel the entity's gaze deep inside me, looking for my insecurities and (even if in a creepy way) trying to fix them, to free me from the basement/flames
Aww my fav monster is back with some mindful advice. I really love your work. It doesn't scare me (actually I find the characters more cute than scary) but the movements and camera tilts are unsettling in a way that reminds me of the nightmares.
Honestly,this would look very good for a horror game. Just a simple drawn animation,turning into mysterious devil like creation wchispering some creapy stuff to you. Also the fact that its so damn spine chilling witchout even having a jumpscare at the end is hella good.
Watching them from inside your house. That’s how it feels to be around others. Watch them living, talking, experiencing, as I do nothing. Like I’m not really there, like I’m stuck in my head observing them. Every day I sit and do nothing as much as I want to do something. “The basement”. I interpret that as the ‘darker’ thoughts. The basement is the complete isolation and sadness. Idk I’m just sad
Ha relatable Especially at the: "watch them" part, just knowing I'll never be as good as millions of individuals in our society, and then the: "do something", is relatable because I try to make an effort to make myself better but nothing comes of it, and it truly angers me. The basement part of the animation feels like it represents a state of terrible well being and self esteem, which I along with many others struggle with in this day and age, aspiring to be something great but we can never find the determination or courage to do anything about it.
Thank you triangle man, you're words are harsh but I needed to hear them, most may be scared of you at first but those who listen will come to thank you for your advice
I'm trying to learn to express my self better because I would love to learn to do it correctly, if that makes any sense. And this video is evoking a deep sense of emotion for me. I relate to this super hard because I also suffer from hating waking up, knowing that I'm not going to do anything at all ALL day. Feels super cool to know I'm starting to understand and get into touch with my emotional side.
it's slow, but it gets better. at least it did for me anyway, even though my brain was absolutely convinced at one point that there was no hope left. Stay strong
This is real talent bro incredible execution of real horror into an already scary and deep theme. no cheap jumpscares just the dread of the situation and the intensity of it all building up as the video progresses juSt brilliantly done
I accidentally left this playing on the background while I started playing a videogame and the part where the triangle dude starts talking made me nearly shit my pants. Holy fuck.
This video, in my opinion, is to explain the connection between the creator and the Loathing. The Loathing is the mental pain the creator feels, being trapped in his own mind, stuck in his abode, and even after things have become better over the past year in terms of the outbreak (specifically the lockdowns) the creator is still stuck inside. He is unwilling to leave, influenced by the Loathing, which is why in this video, he has much more prominent facial features due to the black shadow shrouding his full face. The shroud could also just be expression, an expression of the pain the creator has felt over the past year, and continues to feel. The lines that are written are all from the creator himself to himself. "Why are you in the basement" and "Do something." are extremely obvious to that notion. The reason why he asks these is because he is either ignorant of what is happening, and that he could be choosing to do this to himself, which would line up with the unwilling characteristic of the Loathing, or he acknowledges that he is making these choices, but doesn't know why. When he slams his head into the desk, he transforms into the Loathing, letting it take control of him, and giving him the answers by speaking to him directly: "You still hide, you are decaying as you breathe. You still hide in the basement, wreathed in flames." I don't know what the symbolism of the flames are, but they could just be a metaphor for the pain or trauma the creator has and still is experiencing. I'd like to take a note here that, in the later videos, the theory of the creator doing this to himself becomes all the more prominent.
This work is so good man, I like the concept you've created pointing the issues people may have been going through the last year with this new reality we have now. Keep it up!
Even tho these animations are unsettling they are a masterpiece. Even so I know what your going through like matpat said. Depression and anxiety. I feel sorry for you. Tho even your channel was made 2 years ago they are still suchlike masterpieces. Take care amigo:)
