Coming back on tumblr for the first time in ages to completely fangirl about @toastyglow 's Escape from Divinity Series now that it's over
(go watch it btw) and THE BRAIN WORMS. THEY'VE INFECTED ME TIME TO DELVE BACK INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I'm gonna miss it so much, I love Sanga, and Ashivon, Ahnmivah, and so many of the designs and circular storytelling details and the shot composition and the way the songs are used and AHHHHHHHHHH
I found the first video in 2019 and I fell in love with the characters and the world! 2019 was a ROUGH year for me, but EfD lit something in me, brought me back to reality. I fell in love with art, visual media, and music all over again, even through burnout at a music college. I spent HOURS re-watching it over and over at almost every meal in the Caf, and even used the cult setting as the basis for one of my Dread campaigns I ran with friends!
The second video, coming right at the tail end of 2019, fell right in stride with the end of my mysterious dissociation episodes throughout that year. It felt like I was coming back to the light WITH it, in a sappy way. Idk I had many emotions I sobbed a lot after watching that one over and over.
And I don't need to get into the details of every single one, but I love this series, I love this story, and I'm so glad it exists and so many people have enjoyed it. My only solace in it being over is the happy ending, and that I can now force my friends to experience the story for the first time in it's entirety.
Maybe I remember to put this on other social media places but this felt like the best place, where I can nerd out. THANK YOU TOASTYGLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW <3 <3 <3 I hope the brainworms continue long enough to infect me the next time I'm playing guitar :)
