What Does It Mean To Become A Lucid?

Is it to run from something? Or is it to find someone?

Jasper (2020) is fucking crazy. What if you worked at a deli when you'd once dreamed of being an astronaut and you had a good relationship with your mom but no relationship with your dad and you were happy but very lonely too and above all painfully ordinary. And then one day you meet this stranger who says Hey I think you're absolutely incredible and I've noticed every small act of kindness you've done and I want you to know they matter and you're an extraordinary person and also I have a list of over a hundred facts about you and I know where you went to school and I know your life story and also I started a cult surrounding you and we all changed our names to your name and we eat your favorite food together. Wanna hang out. And you're like Sure ok but then you think these people are super weird and maybe this isn't a good idea. But when you try to escape he ties you up and says he wants to steal your identity because it's the only way he can love himself and once again you're like. Sure ok. And then you discover that you're actually the secret heir to the (j)Apple fortune through your deadbeat dad and this guy is just trying to steal your inheritance and you feel a weird pang of disappointment because?? For some reason you actually really liked him and kind of did want him to have meant all those insane things he said about you??? And then you engage in a Pampers-themed battle (you were the baby on the 1997 Pampers Overnight Diapers packaging. btw) at a cliffside to save this guy because some part of you does still trust him and he risked his life to save yours. And you win and you run away and you find him and it turns out he really did want to become you for reasons unrelated to the inheritance and he really is just a freak. And you say Youve made my day pretty terrible. And then you say Wanna come over to my house and watch my favorite show with me. And he says Sure ok.

Then next thing you know you live together and you're best friends and you love him more than anything. And you have the same favorite show

in the prequels, jasper and quinn's weirdness seems normal. like jasper is not nearly scared enough about the cult and tries to befriend his kidnapper. and quinn is very normal about running the entire scheme, plus he just casually tries to sacrifice himself for jasper.

so you're like "oh maybe that's just nicholas podany's writing style?" and then you watch the main series and realize, actually, these two are just fucking weird.

What are Memories if not Dreams Themselves?

Reasons to Watch "Lucids" by Nicholas Podany:

There is cosmic soulmateism

Apples as imagery for creation/control/divinity (which can be linked back to Biblical symbolism if you're a freak like me)

A cult that is not really a cult and more like someone read the wikipedia article for "cult" and said "sure I can do that" and then could not do that

What if you were seven years old but had a mortgage and an ex wife

Introspection on what makes a person human

Off of that—how can we tell the difference between dream and reality, and what makes reality real

An Apple spoof called Japple that is the exact same as Apple and only used for one (1) joke and a single bit of exposition but means the world to me

Lydia Hills. You too will understand.

What if you were the manifestation of the memory of a child that someone lost but in manifesting and existing you grow beyond the memory and are no longer that child

Ending the world and creating the world are two sides of the same coin in a way that can never be undone once done or done once undone

Lots of deadpan humor

That one audio that trended on TikTok in like 2019-2020? The "do you blame yourself?" audio? Yeah that's from Lucids

Incredibly beautiful score MADE BY the creator

The entire thing is made by one guy, actually. Score, acting, script, set, with occasional voice acting from family/friends

Please. On my hands and knees PLEASE watch Lucids it's good I promise

[oddly-reclusive]

just watched lucids for the first time and all i have to say is ASXFSHZGS NICHOLAS PODANY THE MAN YOU ARE

anyway, y'all should watch lucids on youtube, it will change your life

[alexmey-does-an-arts]

fellas is it gay to have been created by one another in the very inception of reality itself and to thus be forever intertwined in each other's realities. and it was in a whole foods

I can’t believe that Lydia hills isn’t more popular on tumblr shaking my smh

She makes powerpoint presentations filled with memes for really important stuff, she has relationship issues with her husband bc she left their universe to go look for the lost memory of their dead son, she doesn’t know how to make coffee, she jumps into a new dimension and immediately takes on a random job as a substitute teacher, she has so many issues that she refuses to acknowledge, the queen of denial, she canonically writes pride and predjudice fanfiction that she hides in her very important research folders,

All im saying is that why aren’t we appreciating her more????

[saturnisfallingdown]

the universes most normal best friends

[ID: Digital art of Benjamin and Oliver from Lucids in the style of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid page. Benjamin apathetically drives a car as Oliver sits in the passenger seat, and worriedly asks “Benny… Why did you bring me with you?” Below the comic, a Benjamin’s writing reads “What was I supposed to say? That I couldn't have done that by myself? That I needed him to support me? That he was the only person in my life that I haven't screwed over? That my entire family hates me? That he's my only friend? That I love him? Probably. I didn't say anything.” End ID]

was it casual when we both existed in each others dreams and unknowingly traveled between dreamscapes to exist together. in both universes. intertwined .

started thinking about lucids again. oliver is so funny cause he was suicidal but instead of going about it in a normal way he decided to go around to random people telling them to wake up on the off chance that he would be a figment of their dreaming mind and by them waking up he would cease to exist. and the funniest part is he was right and it almost worked

So, am I the only one who thinks it's completely wild that Arthur basically takes a swing at a seven year old and knocks him unconscious? And then it's never mentioned again? 😂

happy pride month to

quinn hills and his trans swag

"you should get some sleep, you look terrible" and the way he's essentially saying "i don't forgive you but i still care about you"

quinn and jasper keeping each other's shirts

the existence of the nickname benny

the constant canon comparisons between benjamin's relationship with isabelle and his relationship with oliver like him calling him benny was only scratching the surface i have so many thoughts about this topic

jasper knowing quinn for one day and inviting him to live with him

the time oliver carried benjamin to bed and then stared longingly at him for like 8 whole seconds with no reason and no explanation

"oliver wasn't gonna run, he wouldn't leave benjamin like that"

sorry still thinking about oliver staring longingly at benjamin why did he DO that

the inherent homoeroticism of starting a cult that worships another man

the inherent homoeroticism of creating all of existence with your narrative foil

nick podany voice The Tenderness Of Their Relationship

the incredibly transcoded "and jasper prime!" "it's quinn, now" interaction

the fact that benjamin and oliver being in the retirement home in taobao means that they stayed friends for the rest of their lives

[b1deo]

New Oliver design dropped??? What???

(Also, the quote is from a really good song called ‘hot faced’ by margaux. You should check it out if you like vents related to being a woman (?) obviously, THAT doesn’t relate much to Oliver, But I just needed to get my love for this song out of my system- plus, this part of the song unrelated could work as angst so- lmao)
