(OOC: Using my teeny audience to spread my agenda.
WATCH LUCIDS BY NICOLAS PODANY
what is Lucids, you may ask? The only way I can describe it is: the conglomerate of two TikTok skit(?) seriesā, and a 6 part YouTube series.
Jasper (originally called Cultish) is the story of an average Joe named Jasper that one day stumbles across a cult formed in the name of a Pampers Ad he did when he was a baby, lead by a man that goes by Jasper Prime. Itās as weird as it sounds.
while this Jasper was running, Nick was also posting The Adventures Benjamin and Oliver which follows Oliver and Benjamin, two old school friends, who wake up in 3rd grade to learn they have dreamt their whole lives. They meet Mrs. Hills, who is training them to become Lucids, people who can āswing between dreamscapes like branches on a treeā to get their lives back.
it all culminates and transfers over to YouTube in the titular Lucids. We learn something about Jasper Prime, and Mrs. Hills sends Benny and Oliver across dreamscapes to find him.
Despite its batshit premise, it is a genuinely heartwarming story about love, friendship, loss, grief, and not letting your trauma define you. One of the best internet series Iāve watched.
and did I mention it was all made by one guy? Nick does all the writing, acting, editing, and scoring, with help from his parents in the voice department. Itās a miracle it works so well.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!???! Go watch it on Nicholas Podanyās YouTube. The two prequel seriesā are combined for viewing ease. JUST BE WEARY! It heavily deals with the nature of reality, so if you have issues with that kinda stuff, I maybe wouldnāt watch it
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk lol
