I honestly admire Luigi. I have an anxiety disorder (don’t remember what kind) and his (emotional) strength in tough situations when he knows he needs to fight is inspiring.
Benji B. I can relate. I basically got, Post traumatic stress-like disorder (lol), O.C.D and Separation anxiety and just anxiety in general... Like grant I would space and pass the fuck out in class, work, And space out in Conversations. Being me is kinda hard, (especially if u might have a chance of having autism sadly) but at least I got friends and family and caring people.
Damn...I could totally relate to you and Luigi. Trust me. Hell, I always preferred Luigi over Mario because I could totally see myself in him. I always argued that I liked him because he seemed better than Mario from a physical stand point, but really it was all just because I saw myself in him so much. Especially with the whole "ideal self" thing. I've always wanted to be a hero. I've always wanted to be in the limelight, to be respected and admired. I always wanted to be known as a selfless, brave hero. But in situations where push comes to shove, I get incredibly scared, and I want to run. I want to run away so much. Not only that, but like with the dream Luigi had about the airship crashing, there are plenty, PLENTY of times where I worry to a point of unrealism. Even when in the moment of fear I know that it'll never happen, I can't help but feel on edge, adrenaline pulsing through me. Thank you so much for making this video, Treesicle, and Grant...let's hope that we both get over our anxiety.
I preferred Luigi too, but that was becouse Mario and many other characters were unrealistically adventurous or brave. People have to be honest and say that if they saw a lighting strike in the back behind a nightmarish horror mansion and a door *goddamn* *shut’s* behind them by itself, would be in some way traumitized and definetly severly traumitized after seeing ghosts in dark horrific places wandering around like they should be, instead of being a normal ... whatever ... and stay in heaven or hell.
I can 100% relate. First of all, I'm very prone to the nightmares; I've fallen out of bed a few times because of it. It literally gets so bad that I have to pray to NOT dream at all out of fear of the nightmares. Most of my nightmares are about a car crash or a plane crash. I startle so easily the people around me laugh. I once nearly hit my head on the ceiling because I startled so intensely that I jumped THAT high! I never have to clip my nails because I bite them off. I had a big brother recently ship off, and soon my twin is too, and that gives me worries (WORRIES IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.) I do in fact space out. And add insult to injury, my twin (that I mentioned earlier) has it all together, meanwhile, I'm a damn mess; I AM an awkward mother f***er. I doubt I have a full on anxiety disorder, but I am very prone to anxiety attacks.
I don't know why, but near the end of this video i started crying. I just feel sorry for Luigi and can relate to him in some ways and he is also my favorite character in the games (next to Yoshi) and it makes me feel sad to see him like that. Even though its his personality or something like that, I still feel sad. Now I know what he's feeling and it makes me want to cry even more. I personally think that there should be more games where Luigi is the main character because I feel like he gets underestimated because Mario's always in the spotlight and Luigi is just his shadow. And also because Mario is always the one saving the day and Luigi is on the sidelines, watching. And I know that he helps out Mario in some games,, and i'm not saying he's weak or anything bt his attack strength is lower than Mario's, even just by a little. Now you all might think differently but this is what I think. I think that I sometimes get too attached to fictional characters cause I feel like I know whats happening to them, even though i'm not going though anything like that.
Bunny Ninja + for some reason when I see pictures or paintings or game characters I feel what they feel PHYSICALLY if you knew about the game in some kind of Mario sport game when luigi wins Mario CRUSHES Luigi's foot and I felt that
Grant I really want to thank you for this because you explained the way I act irl perfectly, I can totally relate to you when it comes to overthinking everything (for example on Friday I was walking home on a beautiful sunny day and I was thinking about everything I'm doing wrong in my life, when nothing bad even happened recently) and every time I'm around other people its like they see my every movement as stiff and awkward and I constantly wonder what people think when they see me. *and 10,000 more examples* Social awkwardness aside, I really hope more people see your videos because you are amazing at what you do. So again thank you for showing us the different side of the story, the story of our lives, and the story... WE NEVER KNEW!

I always have noticed that Luigi was a bit like me, now I know why. I space out like that as well, the only difference is I have trained myself to do it at will. It's a very useful skill.
lets just come to the conclusion that that adventure never happened and was all from luigi smoking one of marios "big boy mushrooms" or maby he did just get it wrong.
You put so much time and effort into your videos, and I applaud you for that. Two videos a week! You are doing great. I will never look at Luigi the same way, except for Smash Bros.
I'm a diehard Luigi fan and I got fake butthurt a lot during this video because of all the joke hate, but perhaps the ending and that combined tells us that self hate gets to us all or some shit

dude, i always thought i saw a lot of myself in Luigi like overthinking, nervousness, fears that the people he loves the most will get hurt. hell, in Dream Team, at the bit where Dreamy Luigi becomes one with the stars, there's all these messages of braveness and positivity, but then there's one that just says "Don't leave me." and that _really_ hit home for me, and shows that we're both afraid of people leaving us. i think that's part of why i love Luigi as a character so much, he's relatable and i'm able to connect with him on a deeper level.
LamprosYTgaming Yeah the reason why I love Luigi as my favourite personal charter in whole gaming, is because I’ve got Anxiety (I wish I could share what types of anxiety disorders I’ve got, but it’s personal and there’s a bit to much for me to tell you) I like the colour green, I’m the younger sibling between my sister and myself, And other personal stuff and I’m loyal to My Auntie and my family and friends and other loved ones.
This actually opened up a new POV on my own self actions and decisions. I feel more "at peace" with myself now, thanks to this video. Thank you, Grant.
There is nothing wrong with thinking too much. Heck, it is quite the opposite. Also, there is no need to break out of it. Make use of it instead. Realize the vast advantages you have over non-thinking people. All the knowledge you gathered, all the wisdom. Once you get in touch with it and accept it as a strength instead of a weird personal trade then you will get pride from it and it will empower yourself to hights you could've never even dreamt about reaching. I had those sleep-less nights as well. I felt the pain. Now I feel like the king of the world :P
no, you couldn't get out easily, regardless of whether or not you're a coward. you'd have to be blind to not notice that literally every scene with baby Luigi in the bag has him clearly struggling to get out.
I actually do feel for both you and Luigi, Grant. I've suffered from GAD since I was in grade school but I've managed it in my own way, mostly creative writing and drawing and such but I do still find my mind wandering from time to time and current issues in my life aren't making those zone-outs any better. We all make our own progress in such things and have our own setbacks as well. What matters is you keep pushing until you find what works and keep going with it whether it's playing a sport, working with your hands, or (in my case) writing tons of fanfiction to occupy those feelings of anxiety with something akin to pride and success. Keep trucking my friend!
I always space out I kinda spaced out for half of this video sorry grant so I had to rewatch the video and I didn't space out after the third time and I also have a medical condition linked to Anxiety so yeah but that's not the point the point is grant you're awesome keep up the amazing work
Enjoyed your highly-detailed and well-researched analysis of Luigi. That it's due to how his brain is because of generalized anxiety disorder is very compelling based on Luigi already having delayed reactions and also him still being nervous/scared even after the events of Luigi's Mansion. His sleep patterns, anxiety-fillled nightmares, and lack of mind-body integration was also compelling evidence. This is the first video analysis that argues Luigi's apparent stupidity is actually a result of his mind racing and an overabundance of thoughts. An alternate explanation, based on Luigi's characterization in the TV show, that Luigi had it together in mundane situations, but repeated exposure to strange peril left him persistently terrified, though I do like your explanation of Luigi having generalized anxiety disorder. It's hopeful that after the events of Luigi's Mansion, Luigi's self-conception as expressed by his dreamworld self is greatly improved. There's another aspect to that though, and that Luigi's actualizing of his confident dream self has so far only been manifested in a dark self, since he redirects his insecurities outward against the world, and primarily against Mario. Luigi's history as the neglected bro then comes fully into play, even though Luigi's idiosyncracies have been with him all his life. Those very idiosyncracies however, give him an advantage in Super Smash Bros., and he's fairly elegant fighting in midair, his Negative Zone brings the other characters into his disoriented world, and his gentle, self-effacing kick sends even the mighty Mewtwo careening to temporary doom. If Luigi freeing himself from his constant barrage of thoughts, worries, and analysis, without also becoming evil, means that he would be confident, fearless, and traditionally heroic, that means he would be a little less introspective. In reality, it's not really a great idea to run into a dark room full of malicious ghosts without cognizance of the hazards. A lot of stuff Mario does is daredevil and he seems to lack an instinct for self-preservation. Luigi might be overly-scared at times, but in a world where flying chestnuts with a spike on their head can bite you, and a poison mushroom actively chases you, then maybe Luigi is reasonable to panic over a harmless cockroach. But then again, Luigi also takes account of every possible and impossible thing that could go wrong, so his anxiety in a lot of cases is disproportionate, as you mentioned, and it certainly is ongoing, and definitely affects his everyday activities, making the level of his anxiety more negative than neutral or positive. But as for Luigi's unique flailing fighting style, that might not be determined by him being overanxious/spaced out/overanalytical nor his lack of confidence, but a neurological divergence which affects things like balance and coordination, how one sits, walks, runs, throws, etc. Viewed in this light, anxiety disorder is one part of what shape Luigi's traits, the other parts are his history of being neglected/ignored and his differing neurology.
What I got out of this is that Luigi always looks up to his brother, and when he saw Mario screaming, he did the same. And it stuck to Luigi so much, it went on to his adulthood.
Thanks for this, and all your content. You guys are awesome. And your story makes me feel better that there are people with anxiety, like me, out there putting themselves out for the world to see and ridicule and criticize at their leisure
Also fun activity: people come up with song lyrics to represent luigi! I'm going for one from Control "And I tried to hold these secrets inside me, My mind's like a deadly disease"
I don't feel self hate but I have trouble my mind from wandering sometimes I zone out so much I can't feel my body and I can't keep a constant pace because I am to busy thinking
Thank you very much for this video! Luigi is my favorite character in the Super Mario's games, I was really interested to know what is behind him! Nice video! :)
5:45 Luigi's attack stats are actually lower than Mario's by default. Both for the Baby and Adult versions, and for every other game in the series this is also true. Luigi's attack wasn't lower due to timing accuracy, it was the stats themselves. Also his lower attack is compensated for with a higher stache (luck) stat, and higher HP stat.
Another element that supports that bit about him struggling to sleep is the thing with sleep and pillows: I mean, I don't know much at all about the Mario universe, but I can see the link. That portal only opened when he was asleep, and in his dream the monster came out of a pillow, which shows he's afraid of sleep.
I also have anxiety and panic disorder as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from my mom and dad both nearly dying multiple times, I can't be around loud yelling. I feel much more comfortable about Luigi now, really cool idea and video!
I'm surprised you didn't go into how in Dream Team, Luigi's incredible ability is to fuse with Mario and help *him.* It just goes to show that, even at his best, Luigi sees himself as Mario's helper and inferior.
Dude I space out so much I can be talking to you and in the middle of my own sentence forget everything I've done for the past week and what we were talking about at all so thanks for making me notice it for the problem it really is my man!
God damn. 4:59? That's impressive. Sure as hell puts my 5:55 to shame. All the more motivation to put towards getting back in shape though. The last mile I ran I clocked in at 7:15 and in that moment I knew I had to start working out more and getting my mile time back on track, and that's what I've been doing. Working to get back to where I was a few years ago. You keep on doing you, dude.
Wow, this really resonates with me. I've always loved Luigi and with growing up with an anxiety disorder, this really feels like a secret, underlying reason why I've always related with him the most. Also not because I was always player two. Love your videos as always, Treesicle. Keep up the awesome.
Good theory, finally some dang research done into the thing one is trying to diagnose a character with! My aunt has anxiety disorder, and she actually needs meds to function. She doesn't talk about it much, but this does sound really similar to what experiences she did share with us, or the ones where we experienced together with her. Thanks for not just slapping something on there with incomplete information. If my autistic ass had a Euro for every time I see an obviously neurotypical character getting 'autism' slapped on their heads because they cringed at a loud alarm in that one scene... Well, I'd FINALLY have a well-paying job after a good 3 years of job hunting. xD I mean, there's theories that base literally everything on a scene like like that. Good to see a channel which actually put in the time to read up on whatever they're trying to prove.
i already really loved Luigi, but i love him even more now. hell i started crying in like the middle of this video because i can relate to Luigi so much its actually kinda scary (im sure many of you can relate). great video as always grant! ^^
My personal best was a 5:15, that I ran with a limp, a limp that later turned out to be do to ruptured disks in my back so I didn't get to run senior year. That said once I strengthen my core muscles for support, I shall once again try for a sub 5
This may be a very late response, but I have a severe anxiety disorder. Everything you've explained is what I have and it doesn't get better on its own. It gradually gets worse without therapy or medical treatment. Anxiety attacks also mimic cardiovascular symptoms as well, and you also develop constant bodily aches. You can't help it, I've tried to think positive and do positive but negative thoughts flood my mind before hand. I get scared of my own shadow and I freak out over the smallest things. It's very serious and people with a severe anxiety disorder suffer. I'm now currently undergoing treatment thankfully, but sadly an anxiety disorder can't be fully treated, but it can be surpressed. So Luigi may be my virtual avatar. Lol but honestly.. luigi deserves more. He's going through way too much pain and suffering, something he can't control, but he tries his best to. That makes luigi a damn strong character.
Luigi sitting out of the first battle in Mario & Luigi games is pretty much a meme at this point. Idk if it was like that in Paper Jam or not, but the other ones sure were.
Just for info, your content really amuses me! Your really funny, You tell jokes, and you tell me things i had NO IDEA about these games! Your amazing Treesicle! (well, grant)
thanks grant for making all my life choices flash before my eyes, and making everything click in my head
Best comment ever. :)
Treesicle sir im feel sad and shocked because of as kid/7 years old my father died and i was really REALLY worried of losing my mom
btw love treesicle keep up guys (°.°)
kevin cruz plz plz pleeeeeezzzz do a Naruto the story you never knew
Honestly Grant, This is the video that got my subscription. Not because of the content but I can relate to you with what you said.
I honestly admire Luigi. I have an anxiety disorder (don’t remember what kind) and his (emotional) strength in tough situations when he knows he needs to fight is inspiring.
My thoughts exactly! Luigi is an inspiration to all us fraidy-cats! ^w^
I have general anxiety disorder, maybe that's why I like Luigi so much.
Same, how are you coping with it?
i love luigi (no homo tho)
Benji B. I can relate.
I basically got, Post traumatic stress-like disorder (lol), O.C.D and Separation anxiety and just anxiety in general...
Like grant I would space and pass the fuck out in class, work, And space out in Conversations. Being me is kinda hard, (especially if u might have a chance of having autism sadly) but at least I got friends and family and caring people.
@@androo6473 I have high-functioning autism, so I feel you. Sometimes, I feel conflicted with myself.
I have it too. :(. It sucks but, we all can cope through it \\\\

I teared up.
so basically, Luigi is the relatable character
There isn’t a lot of games with Luigi as the MC because Mario is the mascot of Nintendo
Luigi has to be one of the best main Mario characters, (in my opinion)
I Think it's Wario in my opinion
I love luigi. He's better mario in SO many ways in my opinion
ya. he acutally has emotions
my fav is WALUIGI WAAAAAHH!
s1r_steve WAAAAA HAAAA HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Sr Pelo)
Gabrielle Brantley its true since he jumps higher and is maneurovable
I so agree

Grant: Luigi's a.... damsel in distress? I wouldn't bang him but maybe Mario would!
Me: (imagines mario banging luigi)
Also me: Ok time to die (bang)
actually mario is missing was the first game where luigi had to save mario way before luigi's mansion
lets just come to the conclusion that that adventure never happened and was all from luigi smoking one of marios "big boy mushrooms" or maby he did just get it wrong.
We don't talk about mario is missing
DefenderOfFireNess *holds knife to your throught* We must never speak of that
@@glowytrash6780 but ur making me cry, it seems cool
When I saw the screenshot of GAD Symptoms, I instantly related because I have many of those. Thanks Grant, for this! I love Luigi :)
omg I'm part Luigi
What's the other part ? .w.

Man I'm glad I'm not the only one who overthinks and zoned out WAY too much.
dude, i always thought i saw a lot of myself in Luigi like overthinking, nervousness, fears that the people he loves the most will get hurt. hell, in Dream Team, at the bit where Dreamy Luigi becomes one with the stars, there's all these messages of braveness and positivity, but then there's one that just says "Don't leave me." and that _really_ hit home for me, and shows that we're both afraid of people leaving us. i think that's part of why i love Luigi as a character so much, he's relatable and i'm able to connect with him on a deeper level.
the ending was ridiculously sad

LamprosYTgaming Yeah the reason why I love Luigi as my favourite personal charter in whole gaming, is because I’ve got Anxiety (I wish I could share what types of anxiety disorders I’ve got, but it’s personal and there’s a bit to much for me to tell you) I like the colour green, I’m the younger sibling between my sister and myself, And other personal stuff and I’m loyal to My Auntie and my family and friends and other loved ones.
All THREE Godfather movies? Uh.. skip the last one.
XD
This actually opened up a new POV on my own self actions and decisions. I feel more "at peace" with myself now, thanks to this video. Thank you, Grant.
now i need a Grant: Story you never knew
There is nothing wrong with thinking too much. Heck, it is quite the opposite. Also, there is no need to break out of it. Make use of it instead. Realize the vast advantages you have over non-thinking people. All the knowledge you gathered, all the wisdom. Once you get in touch with it and accept it as a strength instead of a weird personal trade then you will get pride from it and it will empower yourself to hights you could've never even dreamt about reaching.
I had those sleep-less nights as well. I felt the pain. Now I feel like the king of the world :P
no, you couldn't get out easily, regardless of whether or not you're a coward. you'd have to be blind to not notice that literally every scene with baby Luigi in the bag has him clearly struggling to get out.
+LordNul1 except for the one I showed you ;)
Treesicle nice one 👌🏼
Treesicle u should do meta knight the story u never knew
Yeah, the cutscene at the very end of the game.
The one where he didn't even get all the way out of the bag.
I actually do feel for both you and Luigi, Grant. I've suffered from GAD since I was in grade school but I've managed it in my own way, mostly creative writing and drawing and such but I do still find my mind wandering from time to time and current issues in my life aren't making those zone-outs any better. We all make our own progress in such things and have our own setbacks as well. What matters is you keep pushing until you find what works and keep going with it whether it's playing a sport, working with your hands, or (in my case) writing tons of fanfiction to occupy those feelings of anxiety with something akin to pride and success. Keep trucking my friend!
I always space out I kinda spaced out for half of this video sorry grant so I had to rewatch the video and I didn't space out after the third time and I also have a medical condition linked to Anxiety so yeah but that's not the point the point is grant you're awesome keep up the amazing work
Enjoyed your highly-detailed and well-researched analysis of Luigi. That it's due to how his brain is because of generalized anxiety disorder is very compelling based on Luigi already having delayed reactions and also him still being nervous/scared even after the events of Luigi's Mansion. His sleep patterns, anxiety-fillled nightmares, and lack of mind-body integration was also compelling evidence. This is the first video analysis that argues Luigi's apparent stupidity is actually a result of his mind racing and an overabundance of thoughts.
An alternate explanation, based on Luigi's characterization in the TV show, that Luigi had it together in mundane situations, but repeated exposure to strange peril left him persistently terrified, though I do like your explanation of Luigi having generalized anxiety disorder.
It's hopeful that after the events of Luigi's Mansion, Luigi's self-conception as expressed by his dreamworld self is greatly improved. There's another aspect to that though, and that Luigi's actualizing of his confident dream self has so far only been manifested in a dark self, since he redirects his insecurities outward against the world, and primarily against Mario. Luigi's history as the neglected bro then comes fully into play, even though Luigi's idiosyncracies have been with him all his life.
Those very idiosyncracies however, give him an advantage in Super Smash Bros., and he's fairly elegant fighting in midair, his Negative Zone brings the other characters into his disoriented world, and his gentle, self-effacing kick sends even the mighty Mewtwo careening to temporary doom.
If Luigi freeing himself from his constant barrage of thoughts, worries, and analysis, without also becoming evil, means that he would be confident, fearless, and traditionally heroic, that means he would be a little less introspective. In reality, it's not really a great idea to run into a dark room full of malicious ghosts without cognizance of the hazards. A lot of stuff Mario does is daredevil and he seems to lack an instinct for self-preservation. Luigi might be overly-scared at times, but in a world where flying chestnuts with a spike on their head can bite you, and a poison mushroom actively chases you, then maybe Luigi is reasonable to panic over a harmless cockroach. But then again, Luigi also takes account of every possible and impossible thing that could go wrong, so his anxiety in a lot of cases is disproportionate, as you mentioned, and it certainly is ongoing, and definitely affects his everyday activities, making the level of his anxiety more negative than neutral or positive.
But as for Luigi's unique flailing fighting style, that might not be determined by him being overanxious/spaced out/overanalytical nor his lack of confidence, but a neurological divergence which affects things like balance and coordination, how one sits, walks, runs, throws, etc. Viewed in this light, anxiety disorder is one part of what shape Luigi's traits, the other parts are his history of being neglected/ignored and his differing neurology.
Everyone is saying what I was thinking while watching this #IamLuigi
This is why I like/relate to Luigi more than Mario.
I've been diagnosed with a crap-load of anxiety disorders, one of them being GAD~!
Congrats on 600k Treesicle!
6:24 it also wasn't the only time it happened when baby Luigi starts crying once he sees baby mario crying
Yo Luigi reminds me of myself. I'm just sitting in my mind all the time.
Me too.
Me too
What I got out of this is that Luigi always looks up to his brother, and when he saw Mario screaming, he did the same. And it stuck to Luigi so much, it went on to his adulthood.
Talking about spacing out
Me: SAME!!!
Thanks for this, and all your content. You guys are awesome. And your story makes me feel better that there are people with anxiety, like me, out there putting themselves out for the world to see and ridicule and criticize at their leisure
"there is no prison like the mind." I KNOW THAT FROM MY LIFE.
i think luigi is like me and is nice and good but when hes fighting he FIGHTS and when hes crying he CRIES.
Also fun activity: people come up with song lyrics to represent luigi! I'm going for one from Control "And I tried to hold these secrets inside me, My mind's like a deadly disease"
treesicle: NOT partners in crime!
me: *remembers song* what have u done!?!? *TRIGGERED*
I don't feel self hate but I have trouble my mind from wandering sometimes I zone out so much I can't feel my body and I can't keep a constant pace because I am to busy thinking
Thank you very much for this video! Luigi is my favorite character in the Super Mario's games, I was really interested to know what is behind him! Nice video! :)
4:17 He is a baby!
Ronin Cruickshank well... Mario was a baby too and he made it all the way there by himself to save him... so...
Latoya Avery Actually the Yoshi did all the work baby Mario just sat there on the back of a yoshi.
5:45 Luigi's attack stats are actually lower than Mario's by default. Both for the Baby and Adult versions, and for every other game in the series this is also true. Luigi's attack wasn't lower due to timing accuracy, it was the stats themselves. Also his lower attack is compensated for with a higher stache (luck) stat, and higher HP stat.
but heyyy
thats just a theory
A GAME theory!
UP TOP MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZenakuShinigami that profile picture perfectly goes with this comment
ZenakuShinigami plop, nice
Or.... A WEEGEE theory!
Nice!!
I can so relate thanks I thought I was sick some how in my life
Nonfaction squad where you at?!
Wassup m8e
TheTBroie TheTBroie suuup
TheTBroie TheTBroie hello there
YO
Ayyyyyy
Another element that supports that bit about him struggling to sleep is the thing with sleep and pillows: I mean, I don't know much at all about the Mario universe, but I can see the link. That portal only opened when he was asleep, and in his dream the monster came out of a pillow, which shows he's afraid of sleep.
Luigi is love I said Luigi is life.
I also have anxiety and panic disorder as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from my mom and dad both nearly dying multiple times, I can't be around loud yelling. I feel much more comfortable about Luigi now, really cool idea and video!
I'm surprised you didn't go into how in Dream Team, Luigi's incredible ability is to fuse with Mario and help *him.* It just goes to show that, even at his best, Luigi sees himself as Mario's helper and inferior.
Dude I space out so much I can be talking to you and in the middle of my own sentence forget everything I've done for the past week and what we were talking about at all so thanks for making me notice it for the problem it really is my man!
"There is no prison like the mind"
God damn. 4:59? That's impressive. Sure as hell puts my 5:55 to shame. All the more motivation to put towards getting back in shape though. The last mile I ran I clocked in at 7:15 and in that moment I knew I had to start working out more and getting my mile time back on track, and that's what I've been doing. Working to get back to where I was a few years ago. You keep on doing you, dude.
I'd be scared if I was apose to do what Luigi expected to do
he bags on Luigi so much then says he relates to him a lot. at first I was like dude wtf but then realized...that probably means he hates himself too
Will you do Corpse Party the Stormy you never knew
Wow, this really resonates with me. I've always loved Luigi and with growing up with an anxiety disorder, this really feels like a secret, underlying reason why I've always related with him the most. Also not because I was always player two. Love your videos as always, Treesicle. Keep up the awesome.
Good theory, finally some dang research done into the thing one is trying to diagnose a character with! My aunt has anxiety disorder, and she actually needs meds to function. She doesn't talk about it much, but this does sound really similar to what experiences she did share with us, or the ones where we experienced together with her. Thanks for not just slapping something on there with incomplete information. If my autistic ass had a Euro for every time I see an obviously neurotypical character getting 'autism' slapped on their heads because they cringed at a loud alarm in that one scene... Well, I'd FINALLY have a well-paying job after a good 3 years of job hunting. xD I mean, there's theories that base literally everything on a scene like like that. Good to see a channel which actually put in the time to read up on whatever they're trying to prove.

Luigi is scared because he touches himself at night
AdrianRock ;-;
i already really loved Luigi, but i love him even more now. hell i started crying in like the middle of this video because i can relate to Luigi so much its actually kinda scary (im sure many of you can relate). great video as always grant! ^^
I'm a simple girl, I see a synk and I click :3

RevolvingWorld exactly, just a gem stone that can do normal human stuff ;3
MarvelKing 9000 also, wtf bro? That's a bit creepy tbh
Been there... But to the point of chest pain, hallucinations, feeling overall sick... Yeah THAT kind of anxiety. Glad that has calmed down.

I'm smarter then u!
Admiral Autism WTF me too, thx for posting this m8, seriously now I lost my cred as a pre 50k subscriber.......
Admiral Autism god was like : don't subscribe to this shit
"so let's tape Luigi's eyes open and dIG! DIG INTO THAT BRAIN LIKE A MAGGOT INTO FLESH!!"
Grant have you been on drugs?
since game theory is out of ideas I'll just see this guy (whatever his name was)instead
Julian Lopez his name is game theory v.2
My personal best was a 5:15, that I ran with a limp, a limp that later turned out to be do to ruptured disks in my back so I didn't get to run senior year. That said once I strengthen my core muscles for support, I shall once again try for a sub 5
While Grant was listing the symptoms I just counted the ones I had. I had 4 of the symptoms, but there were like, 9 so I can't say much.
This may be a very late response, but I have a severe anxiety disorder. Everything you've explained is what I have and it doesn't get better on its own. It gradually gets worse without therapy or medical treatment. Anxiety attacks also mimic cardiovascular symptoms as well, and you also develop constant bodily aches. You can't help it, I've tried to think positive and do positive but negative thoughts flood my mind before hand. I get scared of my own shadow and I freak out over the smallest things. It's very serious and people with a severe anxiety disorder suffer. I'm now currently undergoing treatment thankfully, but sadly an anxiety disorder can't be fully treated, but it can be surpressed. So Luigi may be my virtual avatar. Lol but honestly.. luigi deserves more. He's going through way too much pain and suffering, something he can't control, but he tries his best to. That makes luigi a damn strong character.
great vid
Why thank you :)
As a person diagnosed with general anxiety, this is mostly correct
Shit. If this is true, Im Luigi. Minus the Adventures and being Italian
People may call him a coward, but he dealt with a spider that is 10x bigger than him. And managed to defeat it all on his own
You have come a long way Grant, hope all is well!@
16:48 THAT'S A, CHAOS EMERALD
i keep accidentally read Testicle instead of Treesicle...
you are a dirty dirty man
Ah jeez. Your Luigi videos always make me cry
Im actually like luigi...
Luigi sitting out of the first battle in Mario & Luigi games is pretty much a meme at this point. Idk if it was like that in Paper Jam or not, but the other ones sure were.
Sounds like me lmao
No wonder I like Luigi more
Luigi is my favorite character for a lot of reasons. One of them is his lovable cowardice but his determination to do what he can despite it.
You stole Domic's butt icon!
Everyone steal Domics' butt icon
I saw that too 😅
Just for info, your content really amuses me! Your really funny, You tell jokes, and you tell me things i had NO IDEA about these games! Your amazing Treesicle! (well, grant)
