Tuca and Bertie perfectly capturing my maladaptive daydreaming 

Perfect, but it also engages you so much you lose all your friends, life and yourself to DD. The car scene is realistic

If you haven’t had a super affectionate platonic relationship with a goth girl that somehow turned gay and ended terribly, you haven’t lived

i get so fixated on people (irl and fictional) in my day dreams and it confuses me so much cause i really can't remember what i daydreamed and what is true sometimes. asking friends stuff like "oh you remember that time when blah blah blah" and they're like "wtf no?"

as a goth i love that they used new wave instead of metal like most shows usually do 😭😭

I like the detail that bertie in her dreaming sequence wears different clothes than when they actually hang out,(like, beartie wears white and friend wears black) it showed that bertie didnt want to assimilate to her friend and wanted her to love her differences from her, but in reality, friend tried to transform bertie to be cofortable and simmiliar to her

I can only imagine how Bertie was after Muriel broke off their friendship. Poor girl must have felt so alone afterwards. I can only imagine how Bertie was like until Tuca entered the scene. This show needs more seasons so we’ll get to see how these Bird Buddies meet. Can you imagine the feels?

this episode hit so close to home for me, because i WAS Bertie. i had a friend who wanted to make me just like her, we did all the stuff she liked, and i fell in love with her. but we abruptly drifted apart after she moved away because we both just lost touch. she was my first true crush and i’ll never forget her.

Muriel was a terrible friend but i love her design, bats are super adorable ❤️ I think she is based off the honduran white bat, because lf her colors, big ears and shes fluffy, only the nose is off.

Damn I never even made that connection but this is literally it. To the changing locations super fast to random dance stuff. This is different than paracosm stuff. Seriously damn

I was absolutely clueless about Tuca&Bertie having 3 SEASONS! I didnt recognize the bat character and oh boy now im thrilled to watch the rest of the show!

"I only was friends with you cause I felt bad for you" /.- 💔

The fact that there are people out there that think this show is a "stupid adult show" is astounding

i daydream so much. if i hear a new song or meme? day dreaming it with my favorite charcaters from either 1 media source or multiple. read a new book? dd it with my favorite character from 1 or more media sources. i’ll even have to act it out sometimes. and showers are literally just daydreaming time. and it’s even worse when i’m trying to cry or dealing with something, i often find myself dd my favorite characters dealing with my problem or worse. or just them in general. it makes me not able to cry or deal with things. or i daydream about irl people and situations very very often. either to get tasks done or just in general. and if i’m dealing with something i’ll imagine someone helping me with it, or talking to someone about it, and breaking down in front of somebody about and them caring etc etc. it’s so incredibly frustrating because it’s all fake. i don’t know if i have maladaptive dd. but i know i day dream a lot.

I really appreciate tuca and bertie for touching on a relationship like this in the way they did. I had a toxic emo middle school frinedship that corroded into high school and disrupted my entire social experience in 10th grade. I wasnt perfect either but i didnt know how to handle the intensity of unmedicated bipolar behavior she was trying to work through, and i came out of the relationship feeling chewed up and spat out

The first part of the episode Bertie said she felt like a leech But Muriel was clearly the toxic friend, she pretended to be her close friend, changed her appearance, personality, kissed her, then as soon as her old friend came back she completely ditched Bertie

Just noticed how the songs lyrics "Youre something new" also reflect how Muriel sees Bertie. Not as a friend but as a pastime while she and Jessica weren't talking to each other. Someone to manipulate and transform into something reminiscent of her only to drop her the moment her *true* friend came back

I hope everyone in the comments section are trying to help fix their maladaptive daydreaming, because I suffer from it and it absolutely fucks you up. If not, when you can in life, please get all the mental help necessary and overcome this. I know you can! I'm funneling mine into art and comics, so what I daydream of becomes productive and an actual part of my life.

I had this exact friend for 7 years this episode honestly broke me

Obsessively daydreaming is how I wrote two books. I had to do SOMETHING with all those characters.

Love that the show also shows the timeline of them being together for max maybe a few months. It captures that feeling of being in HS, where everything feels like the most important thing in the world, and a week feels like a lifetime, and every detail impacts you so hard.

fun fact: this video made me realize I am a maladaptive daydreamer.

Just figured out that I do maladaptive daydreaming and everything makes so much more sense now. I do it for hours, and I can't stop. I've missed countless events and time with the people around me because I can't stop.

Kinda sad cus i love bats and fruitbats and they just had to make her that one really shitty friend that uses you as a temporary rebound

I love how her (crush? I haven't seen the new seasons) is a bat, which is basically a cool goth bird

I think the worst part about this is how hard it hits.

I would actually kill for a full version of this song 😩❤️

I never knew I had unusual daydreaming patterns ... until now...

I had a friendship like this a long time ago. It was with a dude, though. We couldn’t have been closer and were the same from jump. Then, one day, I moved for college and he just blocked me the same day I got off the plane. I still remember the last thing I said to him was, “you’ll always be my best friend. I’ll love you forever.” And he replied back with “ily so much

Wait, this was daydreaming? I thought that this was just an exaggerated montage of their friendship from Bertie's memories lol

This is one of the best episodes in the show for me, hands down. Heartbreaking.

This episode was actually so real

Maladaptive daydreaming is the best feeling ever istg.

I had a friend in school with who i was really close. Now, we dont talk with each other anymore. Honestly, it does feel like a dream whenever i remember our time together.

I daydream like this a lot. personally, I take it as a positive. it says to me that I desire things and people full of energy and life, and if it’s lukewarm it’s not something that I want. It’s very uplifting to me and reminds me of my vibrancy. It’s a beautiful thing to want to feel things in a world that’s comfortable with monotony. Sad that people view it as a problem.

this is the second most accurate portrayal of maladaptive daydreaming in media I’ve ever seen

This brings back so many memories of falling for my best friend back in high school. Sigh. :/

Edit: okay there have been people telling me to not give up, I'm talking about my past and how the video reminded me of it. I'm not talking about my current life at all. This REMINDED me of all the PAST friends I had, that I work so hard to fit in with. Only to be back stab and abandon...I put in the work and effort, listen and comfort them...especially when they were at there low point, etc. Once they were done with me...I just didn't even exist....I still have paranoid trust issues. I guess it is my fault for trying to get to know someone, give them a chance and not judge them. I try my best...it wasn't enough....so I'm alone and If I don't try to befriend...I wouldn't get hurt again...cause no one ever see me... I'm just a background character. Which isn't fair because I believe everyone is a lead role character in their own life story.

this episode was genuinely a masterpiece

I still think about my ex girlfriend this way, and our relationship was actually pretty similar to Bertie and Muriel’s. I really loved her and I’d think about her all the time, and I spent every moment that I wasn’t with her imagining what it’d be like if she was there. She was cheating on me the entire time we were together, dumped me for her neighbor who ended up cheating on her, and than made it seem like she might want to get back together with me so she could use me for sex and attention. I found out she had been cheating on me the day after she said she didn’t want to get back together “because I’m afraid of hurting you again.” I still think about her a lot, and some part of me deep down still loves her, and doesn’t want to admit that she was beyond toxic and borderline abusive. I still wear the chapstick she liked, I still paint my nails her favorite color, I still wear the bracelet I made in both of our favorite colors, and I still sleep with the plush I named after her. I don’t want to let go, even though it hurts so much to think of her, but I can’t get myself to move on from her even after all of the awful things she did to me. I wish I had left when everyone in my life was begging me to, because they all saw the warning signs and were trying to get me to see them too. I do now, but it’s too late.

This sucks. I lost all my friends, even the people who swore they’d be there forever. As soon as I left school due to trauma they turned on me and told me they never even liked me. I was absolutely friendless up until like a year ago. Even now I only have one friend. Sometimes I think back to all the good times I spent with my friends and how happy I was with them, and have dumb little daydreams like this..

poor girl. The only reason she never fell for another girl is because Speckle was perfect. and so the secret died on muriels backstabbing hand.

DANG this is how i had to find out they made more of the show after it was cancelled???? TWO MORE SEASONS??

Maybe she likes tapes being a bit muffled because she has bat hearing

I love this scene so much.. couldn’t relate more 😭😭😭

I had the same exact thing happen to me people can use you just like that- but you know what you are strong and powerful don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t.

Gurl you get into Retrowave once, you wanna return to the times when corona wasnt even thougt of and enjoy the ride in your new Delorean

Ugh that bat girl was the worst

neurodivergence and limerence is such a rough combo

One part missing is when you snap out of it for a moment, look at the clock only to realize 5 hours have passed, start crying because now you won't get shit done on time and immediately fall back into being your brain's hostage again.

😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ im obsessed

I wonder how Muriel really saw Bertie. Maybe she felt sorry for her but really didn’t want to commit.

Thank you so much for 20,000 views and 1,000 likes Edit: Wow thanks for 100,000 views now! ❤️

Oh god, this reminds me of when I first got a phone and the first number I put on it was a friend at the time. I constantly texted them because it all was so new to me 🤦‍♀️ and I cringe the same way as Bertie, fuck.

Oh god she had to listen to the tape in the car because she didn't have a tape player that takes me back

I like the music

It's rough though because it's like her friend egged on these changes. She wanted Bertie to change then dumped her when she did and that shit stung tbh.

This was her maladaptive daydreaming? When watching the episode I thought this was a montage of things they did together

I hate maladaptive daydreaming....I didn't even knew how to call it until a few months ago

This si a good anime

Still amazing song, godda be my new jam

Lmao I didn't watch this season so I assumed by the thumbnail that this clip would be about Bertie daydreaming about dancing with her furby 🤣

I love cassettes

Didn't really resonate with me, real people (including myself) are never in my day dreams. In fact, I come up with every person within them. But I do vibe with the idea of music stating the daydream, music and ideas from TV shows normally give me grand ideas.

Bertie is wearing a collar in this memory, a symbol of being captive, like a pet, enslaved to her owner.

Okay, here's the song link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WNJnjgIupI4.html

So real

If you live in the UK you can watch Season 2 & 3 on 4 on Demand 😊

That bat girl is adorable tho

For me it was BPD and shifting into said FP.

slay i daydcream 2 😍

reminds me of life is strange.

I was she didn't end up mean, she could have really helped bertie out of her shell (no pun intended)

I’m never truly gonna let go of Lydia huh.. I said I didn’t care yet here I am. Only watching Tuva and Bertie because I know I relate to much to the show. Wow. I can’t believe I’ve faked it for so long I even tricked myself.

💜💕✨

I love this! What show is it?

Anyone else really like the song I want like a full version of it

Muriel looks like the drummer in Hex Girls from Scooby-doo

"ur never be my friend"

Wait, you're telling me people don't normally maladaptivly daydream from the moment they are born? XD

Man i really thought and hopped she'd be a good person for Bertie but dang. She was not as cool as she seemed at first ....i guess that's the point
