does anyone else feel like some of their comfort content isn't even about the content anymore, its about how you felt when you first read/watched/played the content? cause my comfort series is dsmp. and i know the storylines and the characters and everything aren't inherently good, but when i'm feeling sad or need a laugh or if i'm just bored, that's what i turn to. fanfics, animatics, and the vods. but like, sometimes when i'm rereading a fanfic that i've read so many times that i have it practically memorized, or watching an animatic that i see in my head every time i hear that song, the comfort doesn't come from the content; it comes from the familiarity. it comes from the fact that a year ago i was doing the exact same thing. it comes from the soft rememberance of how excited i was to watch it for the first time, how i replayed it again and again. there's this one animatic in particular called wings by halfy & winks (absolute banger btw, go search it up right now if you haven't heard of it) that i've watched probably upwards of a thousand times. and last night i was rewatching it (again), and when it got to the sad part i realized i didn't want to cry because it was sad, i wanted to cry because i remember crying the first time i saw it. a literal wave of nostalgia hit me so hard i teared up thinking about it. yeah i'm rambling but i just wanted to share this. idk man.
