i love how, from an outsider's perspective, the markiplier lore is like "oh man! look at this adventure with silly gaming youtuber" and in reality the lore is like do you remember who you are? are you sure? i can't tell how many times we've been here before, you and i, trapped in this void. what has he done to you?
just been thinking about how well night in the woods captures derealization
i don’t think i have the exact same problems as mae but as someone who struggled with derealization for like 7 months the feeling she describes as everything just being ‘stuff in the universe, lines that someone wrote’ hits so hard. when you’re in a state of derealization, it feels like you’re untethered to anything. everyone is a cardboard standee to you and you feel like you’re in a tv programme, and everyone’s just reciting their lines, repeating lines of codes. you want it to hurt, cause god damnit it would mean something.
when it got real bad i would just thrash around my room and try and break shit, just to prove i can touch something and my hand won’t go right through it, and i think mae’s breakdown on andy cullen is exactly what i wanted to do to make myself matter somehow and prove that the world i was living in was full of objects i can interact with.
it was all shapes, everyday, and it felt like everything was gone forever, but it being talked about it in a game,, i dont know it made the world feel a little more real to me. the whole idea of ‘at the end of everything, hold on to anything’ is such an important sentiment because at times like that you’ll use anything to ground yourself; little things that remind you that you’re a real person are crucial.
i don’t know i’m just rambling but i’m so glad i got out, and i just wanted to share what this game means to me :) if you’re going through something like this just remember it’s not forever. there’s always hope for you. i love you and you mean alot to me even if all you’ve done is read this post - we’ll feel real again soon friend
”I want your everything! Every single part of you!”

Trigger Warning for De-realization and paranoia because this character goes REALLY hard with it. You cannot really tell what is real and what isn't, things are popping up and there's loud screaming as well so... yea just be careful guys.
I thought this stream was excellent though and had to save some of my favorite clips
