The online social dynamic metaphor is super strong, but I also like how this culture-build directly confronts psychological concepts of personas, anonymity, social stigma, and true identity: subjects that existed before the internet.
this could make a socity thats just 4chan irl and they could all live in diffrant places and come to a place and make their own masks and never face consaquences because they all just go to an isolated place and do weird things
This is wild. I love when worldbuilders have the guts to completely abandon the status quo and create something truly foreign. I love how following a concept to its natural conclusions can generate these kinds of really neat systems 👏👏👏
I wonder if painting on your face would give off the same affect like maybe using a magical paint and would be kind of interesting to figure that one out I think I love that something like that.
Imagine coming up with your own cool persona and then when you reveal it to everyone else they just laugh and say that it looks like a clown, and then because it's based on social conception you mentally become a clown. Kinda horrifying TBH.
I kinda wonder how this would interact with gender and gender variance, if masks, or the spirits they represent, were at all gendered, could you create personas that differ in gender to your assigned gender, and how this could be used for self-expression
I wonder how the dynamics of masks would change as new technologies come along? Would it incorporate them into designs or would they go against them? Nice vid Nakari.
This is a very intresting idea , It would basically be analogic social network , and i love analogic stuff , It would be intresting to see what would happen if they developed a press , what would they talk abt ? Also the presentation and the drawing are genuinely great , my suggestion would be to maybe enunciate a bit better but in all honesty you're doing a great work and deserve min 10x the subs ...
Midway through the video I was going to write a comment on how plain face masks sound like the Internet today, then the rest of the video preempted me. I wonder too whether the concept of identity will change in the future to involve the Internet. If it does, though, I suspect it will take a long time - over half of the world still doesn't have access to the Internet, while I don't seem to get the impression that half of the people in your world don't have masks. I hope that if that becomes the case, some form of government unique to the Internet will be set up. The Internet is too irregularly regulated across the globe - it's in need of centralized laws of its own making. I came up with an "Internet Constitution" of my own idly one time, but I have yet to use it for anything. Maybe this will be the inspiration for a future story on the Internet, just as the Internet was an inspiration for this video.
I'm interested in this concept: "The way they think is shaped by the way their society thinks that spirit thinks." Do you want to elaborate on that? I have a similar concept in my world I think.
I was literally just thinking up a culture where they used symbolic masks to connect with the spirit world! Seriously, what a coincidence! This channel is a great find, I just know I'll be binging your content in the next couple of days! 😁

A world where the spirit within the mask rivals the soul behind it. Incredible, truly.
im in love with your videos there so fun!
Brilliant
Your videos are always such joy and inspiration, they always make my day better.
Thank you so much!
I could see this being a great metaphor for social media personas.
thank you

i love how this inspured from social networks online. the whole time i was thinking how cyberpunk this sounds
Love your use of headscarves, more world builders should try it.
I really love magical masks, whether they be From Dust, Bionicle, or Majora variety. I regret that I haven’t spent this year of masks to make one
Feel very Majora Maskish! Love it
This is wild. I love when worldbuilders have the guts to completely abandon the status quo and create something truly foreign. I love how following a concept to its natural conclusions can generate these kinds of really neat systems 👏👏👏
This is exactly what I was looking for

Love and relate to this very much
Maybe that says a lot about me...
I love the uniqueness of this idea! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful world building and beautiful art!
The spirit mask stuff just made me think of Bionicle, I am so sorry lol
LOVE THE WORLDBUILDING HERE!!
good vid

A fascinating culture and concept

amazing as always
thank you, Nakari
I wonder how the dynamics of masks would change as new technologies come along?
Would it incorporate them into designs or would they go against them?
Nice vid Nakari.
I like the idea of, when new pigments are introduced, there being trends where everyone wants to wear the new colour!
Imagine meme masks
@@danthiel8623 Oh no.
you're truly a masterful thinker
fascinating and well-drawn as ever, Nakari!
awesome video as always
this is so fucking cool
Wow I really, really like this one. Very inspirational!
As wonderful and magical as always. Here's to another 2k 🍾
like what if there was a place that people from diffrant places viseted but they where all in masks and they can just do whatever
What a joy to wake up to a notification of this video, the idea is truly fascinating!
This is a very intresting idea ,
It would basically be analogic social network , and i love analogic stuff ,
It would be intresting to see what would happen if they developed a press , what would they talk abt ?

I like masks
That Venetian mask will give me nightmares, thanks.
I, too, am a big fan of Bionicle.
(I'm kidding, this video is great.)
Magical masks with pegs that go in your mouth?
What is this, Bionicle?
0:51 is this the age of adz?

Can't remember the reason, huh? Mmhm. Yeah. I don't either, really.
Hahaaha I’m sure you can’t remeber the reason you’ve been thinking about masks
