    The message about addiction was really powerful, imo. Too many people don't realize how most people get addicted, reverting to statements like "they should've known better", or "they should've been more careful", not realizing how slippery the slope can be, and that many addicts are victims themselves. Especially with how the medical system can be, it isn't always a clear choice of just "not getting addicted", and like you said it often sinks its claws in before the person even realizes they have a problem.
    And in other cases, having family members who live with chronic pain, and developing it myself, not enough realize how desperate you can get when you live in pain that never goes away, and when doctors have continuously failed to help you. Being sick, in any way, can seriously eat at you, and that's unfortunately where a lot of these kinds of issues originate. Not in bad, careless, or dumb people, but human beings with human problems who get caught in a bad situation and then can't get out.
    I'm fortunate enough that I've never had a serious addiction; I'm well aware I'm the type that's prone to it, so it's an active effort to do what I can to avoid potential triggers. But anyone who has and is fighting it, or has recovered, will always have my fullest respect.

    This ARG is actually incredible because it's such an unexpected twist, yet the theme is something that almost every single one of us has had experience with, addiction.
    Addiction is something that consistently affects our day to day lives and as you said, many may not even realize they are.
    From illegal substances to adult entertainment, from gambling to video games, from technology to high speeds, almost anything and everything can be an addiction and almost every single one of us have or have had an addiction to something at some point.
    The fact this ARG plays into that while showing what it does to your life and your relationships while also encouraging those that suffer to get help and affirming that they are a victim in this is both genius and incredible.
    Sometimes all we need is that one person to reach out and give us the push to get that help we need, a luxury that a surprising ammount of addicts unfortunately don't have.
    This is hands down one of the best ARGs ever, I have such an utmost respect to this guy for creating this and sending such a strong and beautiful message along with it.

Then he got hit by a car and was in a coma for a month. They were about to pull the plug on him when his brain started showing signs of activity again.

    The psychological horror of seeing this man go through a mental breakdown is so good, and very much in line with the kinda horror arg's I'm into, it also has a very important message to deliver about addiction. The photos, screenshots, videos shot in traditional found footage which pour serotonin right into my brain, the documents, wiki pages, text messages, and even direct interaction with your shoutout (direct interaction if extremely small, would've loved to have like more direct NPC talks and some puzzles wouldve been nice, although I don't think that's what this arg's going for so it's a nitpick) this is fuckin great, more shit like this

    This story really hit close to home, in a good way. The "sometimes you're just not able to see how your medication is fucking you up" side, especially.
    I am just recovering after two months of hellish mess, where I started taking antihistaminics to soothe my severe eczema. The antihistaminics turned out to have a lot more side effects than I had anticipated, and I went from constant sleepiness and tiredness, to regular dizziness and derealization, up to a nearly depressive state by mid-december. I was mentally confused as hell all the time, feeling guilty bc I was a weight for my friends, not understanding what was happening and even thinking I was faking it. But once I understood everything in a retrospective manner, I was in the same state than the protagonist, trying really hard to accept that it wasn't my entire fault.
    While still not completely stable today, I am doing way better, and started another treatment for my eczema that, almost a month later, showed no big side effect whatsoever.

    If this story is one big analogy for something to do with addiction, then I believe this is one of the best stories made portraying addiction that I've seen to date (im 20) without being over the top or directly telling you the story is about addiction / drug use. From the ages of 15-18 I was addicted to Xanax and perc so I really know what addiction is like amd that complete madness being unable to cope with the world around me. When looking at the story from this take then it makes a lot of sense, and I prefer it over moon agents.

    I never had to battle any kind of drug addiction, but I did develop a form of psychotic delusions of grandeur when I was about 14, and I can relate to Legend so bad here. I actually had similar delusions about aliens communicating with me and watching me, and it slowly became an obsession. I slowly started losing myself in a lot of ways and began to drift away from the people in my life. I behaved and thought in a very similar way to Legend as I slowly began to spiral as my obsession with these delusions got worse and worse.
    The thing with these kinds of delusions is that, no matter what, they always feel extremely real, like your mind is hardwired to believe it. It can slowly become your whole world, your reality, and if your reality is just all in your head, what do you even do with yourself? Even after I partially realized that my delusions where all in my head, they still FELT real. I had the KNOWLEDGE that they were fake, but it was hard to actively, emotionally BELIEVE it.
    Getting help was one of the most terrifying things I'd ever done, but I eventually got it. But I still vividly remember the feelings, the obsessiveness of it all. That's why I can easily empathize with Legend in this ARG. It's impossibly hard to get out of that mindset alone, and you need so much support to do it. Even though it would be clear to everyone else that the moon stuff wasn't real, it always feels so obviously true to the one trapped in the delusion.

    This is definitely one of the best ARGs I've seen in the past decade. From screenshots and recordings that make people question whether they're real or not, to a well put-together narrative that touches on subjects that no other ARG has before.
    Not only does this series teach us a lesson of how addiction is not your fault, but it also delves into the habit of obsessing over something to a dangerous degree, and how that could drive someone to act violently and to overthink. As we see Legend snap at his Discord friends, and how he rambles about folklore and symbolism with the moon in various pieces of media. It teaches us that sometimes... you just have to take a step back, and take a break.

  • @LemonBluez
    @LemonBluez Год назад +281

    This ARG is genuinely one of the greatest stories I've ever witnessed, and the best part is that I don't even know if this is real or just done for the series.
    Everything comes together naturally. Legend makes an iceberg chart, dives deep into the depths of one entry he knew a lot less about, and slowly but surely descends into madness. He sacrifices everything he has and all his friends leave him except for one, which is what pushes him to get therapy and talk about his addiction and rid of it from his life.
    It all comes together in a way done so well and natural that it even keeps you wondering by the end, not much about Legend, but what he's found. Of course not really much to think of it now but maybe one day.
    Amazing video and explanation RT, and I hope Legendfinder is doing well. He can finally rest.

      I just discovered something about Psycrosylvin. The name Psycrosylvin is related to the name of a specific fungi called Psilocybin. Every time you try to seach up the drug he was addicted to, there are no search results of this drug or medication at all. The chemicals of Psycrosylvin are most likely the related to the fungi. It may explain why he was losing his mind over small glitches and myths.
      Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi. The most potent are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about a dozen other genera. Psilocybin is itself biologically inactive but is quickly converted by the body to psilocin, which has mind-altering effects similar, in some aspects, to those of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, and dimethyltryptamine (DMT). In general, the effects include euphoria, visual and mental hallucinations, changes in perception, distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences. It can also cause adverse reactions such as nausea and panic attacks.
      With this information you could probably see where I'm going with this. Psycrosylivin is probably made out of this one chemical inside of this fungi. And since he was believing things about rhe agent to be real and rhe secrets about the moon (which I'm not trying to put down since there is unspeakable amounts of unknown information that we can't dream of) most likely the effects of this chemical inside of this fungi may have been put into this one drug. It is possible that he could have made this himself or got it from a secret/unknown source but we don't have any information for that yet so who's to say? But i literally just found this out on this thundering night so when i get more information or if I should research this more, I'll provide a deeper and longer evidence for this unknown "Psycrosylvin"

    This was absolutely AMAZING, I can't believe I just now found this video.. His acting, and the fact he even dove into addiction and how hard it is, and how much of a struggle it is to get yourself out, was just. Mwah, chefs kiss oh my god!!
    From what he was experiencing throughout this entire ARG, really sounded like drug induced paranoid schizophrenia. And I have had my fair share of people in my life that have had this happen. The complete personality change, the change in tone, the complete OBSESSION, with the moon, and how fearful he was that someone, or anything was coming for him, to the point where he would RISK his own life just to see, if anything was true, or if anything was really coming for him..
    I absolutely adored the writings he did, i genuinely wish he did more of them, because oh my goodness, those really helped us dive deeper into his mind, and really helped us see the complete personality change from who he was before, and it helped symbolize the way he thinks, and the way he sees. The art, the poetry that he wrote down, was truly amazing, and really put into detail how detrimental addiction is, and how fast the side effects really can be to many people. How it can push away family, and how it can take over in an instant, and im so happy he showed how difficult it was to come to terms, and realize that it wasn't okay.
    And the fact that someone came to him, trying to seek out something good through his videos, and telling him about the "monster" in his video, truly shook me when it just drove him into an even DEEPER psychosis.
    This was a beautiful representation of addiction, and how hard it can hit you, change your life, and how it's so hard to recover.

    This starting out as a silly theory about the moon in Minecraft, only to transition into a chilling story about addiction and possibly schizophrenia, is honestly beautiful. To someone who struggles with paranoid and delusions, something like the original moon theory might be enough to spark an episode like this. Props to you, Legend!

    Loved how this was formatted. The text messages during the snow woods section were brilliant.

    I haven't suffered with addiction myself, but I've witnessed others around me do so and I think this ARG encapsulated it so well. Though, another thing I think it perfectly encapsulates is the feeling of losing your mind or at least witnessing someone doing so. Addiction and failing mental health are honestly very hard to not only face, but recognize in yourself. I speak from experience with the failing mental health as a while ago I was literally losing my mind. It starts with one thing that seems so far away, until it becomes so normal for you when it shouldn't be at all. You start to ruminate on only it until it devours all your waking hours.
    And as someone who has had to get help multiple times in their life, one of the scariest things is saying something is wrong and trying something new. The fear of the unknown, which the unknown for me is getting better, always scared me from getting better so sometimes I would relapse from getting better and I would end up getting worse. For me, staying in something that was so toxic and literally killing me felt safer than anything else, but we need a push and people beside us that will stay with us through it.
    Personally... I found this ARG terrifying because it reminded me of helping people who needed help like I do, and those many times I needed help. It feels like the darkest ocean, yet despite that, it feels so familiar. It's amazingly crafted.

    Wait a minute. If there was a video by RT60 in the ARG, and now we are watching a video from RT60 about that very story, I don't think this is an ARG anymore.

    This could be a good horror movie, when the main character is suspecting something from their studies to the point that they become the monster of the story...

    Ngl? Your voice acting is pretty good!
    You did well portraying how Legend slowly got deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole of their own creation,
    You put a lot of effort into this and it shows :]

    This arg reminds me of House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski! Specifically the journal entries. Idk if this was intentional by the creator or not, but either way very well done, I really enjoyed it! :)

    I kinda forgot to read that this was an ARG at first and everything seemed pretty believable so i just went along thinking it was true until halfway through the video when i saw the title. Amazing work tho, i love the way it is told and how you edited it!

    20:10 i feel like THIS is truly where i felt the worse, just a man going into madness, and he has too distract himself, and i feel so super sad just from hearing him like that, even though i know its *probably* fake, its still really sad.
    P.S. the cat drawing was rly good

    I love Minecraft ARGs. The thought of turning a silly block game into something scary is amazing. It's so silly and creative, exactly what Minecraft wants it's players to be.

    i don't even need to watch until the end of the video for you to earn a sub. The joke at 4:40 had me dying.

    Great video! I'm glad Legendfinder is feeling better after all that. I really enjoyed your other video about this arg and I’m glad you came back with this topic.
    Also I accidentally looked at the moon in this and I hope I’m not cursed or anything
