Not gonna lie... being in my 30's and still being in that fantasy world being nagged on by the fear or not accomplishing anything that'll make my family proud... this video hit the right notes. I feel a little better. Thanks Cloudie.

[@DeepShadedGlassesGuy]

[@Litegami]

Basically this video summed up a lot of anime fans/gamers/and people with "childish" hobbies who need to "grow up" and help them stay grounded to reality. All work and no play makes you a dull person and too much work kills you slowly. This video is the struggle a lot of us deal with on a normal basis.

[@aaronrodriguez6952]

Real shit.... He spoke it 💯

[@xlro8f853]

So much symbolism; Cloudie’s Childhood weaving all the attacks, a black man’s heart being symbolized by an empty parking lot, the Petsmart (a job spot with lots of responsibility in the lives of living organisms) being the background for his Nobody (his physical form and his grounded responsibilities) while the restaurants are in the background, representing freedom and joy… This is art.

I'm not going to lie this hit harder than i could've imagined.. thank you cloudie.. its comforting to know you arent alone when it comes to these feelings but we will continue to grow and be better each day

[@riftfall64]

I gotta be honest I'm only 20 and started to feel that "too old for video games" feeling. I recently came to terms that it was simply my own insecurities and only children worry about acting "all grown up." This video hit different, I hope you blow up my guy!

[@spiritpyros]

I believe cs lewis (the author of the narnia series) famously said something along the lines of when I became a man I put away childish things including the fear of childishness

[@derrickcrowe3888]

@@spiritpyros Posting because it's a good quote. “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

[@God-T]

why should I put away my childish desires, it's part of who I am, and I don't want to give that Up! not to anybody

[@raza5757]

I love that C. S. Lewis is quoted on Cloudie’s thread. Spot on. Sames to this quote from Arthur Conan Doyle “I have wrought my simple plan If I give one hour of joy To the boy who’s half a man, Or the man who’s half a boy.”

[@atoli16]

I'm 30, pregnant and work. But in truth we adults need our childish side to mentally survive reality. I will always love both sides of me. A loving responsible mother and a video game loving, cosplaying girl. I thank square for getting me into video games. Because without my adventures in final fantasy, my depression would have taken over and I wouldn't be here to enjoy my own adventures through life. Cloudy, your adventures will continue. Sometimes it may feel like there's no point...but, in our journey we learn more about ourselves and how far our imagination can take us. You good sir, have many adventures ahead of you. All of us do. Your friend though no longer with you physically, will be with you through your adventures and keep pushing you to use your imagination to achieve your dreams.

“The fear that keeps him drowning from the deep part of his dreams.” Listen, I’m only 20 but I feel this all the time. The choice between stable career paths vs the works and classes I would want to take to further what I actually have interest in is so terrifying.

Wow it’s crazy how the series inspires you but you’re also telling your own story. This is turning into a very interesting saga! I’m optimistic that things will work out!! But of course it won’t always be smooth sailing. Take the breaks when you need to. Real fans will always be around!

[@kbm_seymour]

And in typical Kingdom Hearts fashion, here i am crying at the end

[@Meatwad787]

Man... For real.

[@SASAPUNKS]

At the start I was like "C'mon Cloudie, this isn't needed, man." Midway in I was like "Damn, im really relating to this" and at the end I was like "Holy fuck. This what I've always wanted from Kingdom Hearts as an adult!" This is seriously a work of art that you should be proud of. I got pretty emotional at the end and inspired. That is separate from the fact that you just outwrote Square and made a KH story in a way I never knew was possible but always wanted. Im sharing the fuck out of this

[@betwixtbetween7128]

This actually has a deep message behind it, while staying true to the Kingdom Hearts style. Keep up the great work Cloudie! All of us love your content.

[@hadeefirdaus1154]

I hope 5-10 years later, this channel will be one of the biggest channel of that time because the style of the videos is something I’ve never seen anyone do before. The concept is different but still relates to everyone. Man, best of luck to you, I’ll keep on supporting this channel for as long as I can

[@danieldorvil7683]

In the middle of watching this I asked myself “why is this so good” then I, being teary eyed, realized it’s because I knew it was always this good. Keep it up man.

[@MrWinnieP]

All the elements are so fucking on point, the exaggerated camera angles, over the top gestures, the voice acting not following mouth movements 100%, music, the overblown but deep hearted script...everything just comes together so beautifully, like you can literally swap everything with in-game assets and it’s a legit KH cutscene.

[@Rotharn]

I'm 31 going on 32 this year and it feels like the youthful perspective I had when I was younger made it easier to draw all the time but now I'm bogged down by work and bills and other responsibilities and it's hard to even find the time to draw like I used to.. This video links all the creatives out there together, I think. I started welling up a bit dude wtf.

[@Vandyrman]

Fighting your demons is the hardest thing to do, especially when by yourself. If you ever need help, remember your friends and family are there. After all, there is no stronger power than love!

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I thought it was going to be funny, but instead I felt it hard and it made me think about my life and what I should be doing, yet I think it's okay to like video games and anime. I love these things, because I can use my imagination and video games help me cope with reality; It's what keeps me sane. It might seem childish to some, but I don't care, because I genuinely enjoy them and get to, in some way, live another life through a fictional character and not only that, but I've learned some pretty important life lessons thanks to video games. Keep being you and doing what you do, but only when you feel like doing so. Take all the breaks you need and take care of your mental health first and foremost. I find your videos funny and I feel like these could be legit cutscenes, no joke. Thanks for making these and just being really cool! :D (I know I'm months late, but I want to give my condolences and that ending was a nice touch and a beautiful way to remember Ashley.)

Keep going Cloudie the world sucks but never let it penetrate and destroy your defenses, remember you have a whole army of people who love and support you whether it be in person or online and I pray that God keeps you safe and you can continue to uplift us with your content brother. Being a responsible adult is necessary in external matters. Maintaining one’s inner child is what keeps us pure. To protect ourselves from the world that is treacherous we have to wear our armor that is “hard” like a rock and like a rock its hard, full of craters and imperfections and heavy with clear signs of overuse. But under that armor we must always remember there’s a human being with hopes, dreams, love, and a childhood. It’ll always lighten the load of the “armor” when we reap the benefits of who we’re really protecting.
