DAN FROM GAME GRUMPS WHAT THE HELL

[@damienletner5499]

Nah this is Dan from Skyhill and Shadow Academy

[@TeknuAddict]

If you like this you should check out his other stuff Magnum Bullets and Starlight Brigade and the Mystic Crystal, Scarborough Fair videos are all amazing.

[@knightartorias1825]

You mean Danny Sexbang?

[@epicureanbard]

Lee Daniel Avidaniel from Ninja Sex Party? No way!

[@gothicMCRgirl]

Welcome to the Dan Avidan fan club, let’s just say the man has range 😅 if you haven’t already, check out his other bands Skyhill and Shadow Academy, it’s similar to the feel of this cover. (And if you want more comedy, definitely check out Ninja Sex Party and Starbomb).

I think it's rare to hear Dan sing as low as he does in the chorus, it's really nice!

[@rooty_rootz]

Yes, very true :) he's a natural tenor and this whole performance is generally low for him

[@TeknuAddict]

Makes even more sense with context. I just checked out the premise for the game. You play a character born with a curse. Every time you touch someone with your bare hands you corrupt their minds with visions ECT. Gives those lyrics a whole new meaning!

[@bunnyellabell]

​@@TeknuAddict not just with visions! have you played the demo? :3

[@assassine_de_la_lune]

Okay so the order in which the characters appears may be random, but I couldn't help but think it wasn't, so here's my interpretation of the different routes of Touchstarved, based on what lyrics play when the characters are on screen : Ais : "I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me I still feel your touch in my dreams Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why Without you, it's hard to survive" Ais may keep secrets from MC about him, fearing of hurting them (?) Secrets concerning the friend that lives in his head/about his powers/his origin as a Monster. But keeping MC at arms length to keep them safe make him miss the proximity they could have, and he might feel weak to not be able to do anything about it. Vere : "'Cause every time we touch I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast I want this to last Need you by my side" Vere was always depicted as this sly, malicious, horny and extremly powerful being. I don't remember who (maybe Mhin ?), but I know someone said that he sleep around with people just for the fun of it. We know he and Ais are friends with benefits, so maybe MC and Vere might develop a similar kind of relationship (I don't know if Vere only sleeps with Monsters or also humans, so tell me if I'm wrong.) With all that, Vere is very familliar with being intimate with a lot of people, and might not consider these kind of interactions as as intimate as other people. The fact that he doesn't like a lot of people & and isn't used to love someone may make him desperate for love, so if he falls in love with MC, he may become really clingy and posessive with them, wanting to never let them go. Kuras : "'Cause every time we touch I feel this static And every time we kiss I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go Want you in my life" I suspect Kuras to have worked in the Senobium. He is one of the most cold characters at this time, not letting much out about him. This coldness might make him, too, touch starved, so falling in love with MC will be a very big deal for him as he, contrary to Vere, isn't used to being intimate. Mhin : "Your arms are my castle Your heart is my sky They wipe away tears that I cry The good and the bad times We've been through them all You make me rise when I fall" Mhin seems to also be cursed, by some sort of bird demon. This is why they want so much to go to the Senobium (to find a cure like MC). My guess is that they went through a lot of things, but never really came to term with them, as they raise barriers between them and everyone. So, falling in love with MC, would be the first time they allow themselves to be vulnerable. They & MC will support each other through the good and the bad. Leander : "'Cause every time we touch I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I can fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast I want this to last Need you by my side 'Cause every time we touch I feel this static And every time we kiss I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go Want you in my life 'Cause every time we touch I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast I want this to last Need you by my side." Leander's part of the song is by far the more intense and desperate. We know that, while some parts may be honest, his good guy side is an act, and he hides something. His catch phrase in the trailer is "I can keep you safe, as long as you trust me.", implying he is powerful. My guess is that in his route he will become really protective of MC, which might indicate that he lost someone he loved and is now desperate to keep the ones he love safe. This is my theory, I'm relatively new to the lore of Touchstarved so please be kind :").

[@icesnowflake5510]

[@assassine_de_la_lune]

@@icesnowflake5510Thanks ! :3

[@adri_144]

​​@@assassine_de_la_luneI wouldn't call Kuras "cold," he's the exact opposite. He's kind and helps the MC and everyone else. I think a better word would be "reserved" cuz yeah, he mostly keeps to himself but no way is he cold xD at least from what we've seen

0:16 aoisdjoai the absolute scream i scrumpt when i saw this in my feed?! 2:58 the _chills_ i got from the building synth progression (also when i put together that it's touchstarved's PV 1 year anni 🥺🫶) 3:47 the harmonies i'm CRYING 🤘😭 congrats Red Spring devs on reaching this point of your journey!! tysm for this gift. always proud to know that QTPOC artists are making it out there 🥹❤ still means so much that TOUCHSTARVED is thing at all and that there's a whole group of ppl who look like me that are making their creative dreams come true! ✌🐏 ty to the rusty old borg who helped folks find this game a year ago as well for uplifting indie artistry

[@starofaetherius]

Im adding "scrumpt" to my personal lexicon thank you for this blessing 😂

[@ichi_san]

awesome release, nice heavy impactful feeling. i like how it feels like a uncomfortable, desperate, twisted version of a sweet love song. from 3:20 is epic! but the way the 'i need you by my side' and 'can't let you go' and 'want you in my life' sounds very threatening in this version of this song; leaves me very interested- in regards to how dark this will go.

[@Wragnaroq]

I love how, while the original is a celebration of being in love, this performance feels more like a warning. "I'm in love with you, but it's wildly out of my control and there's no future in which this ends well for either of us."

[@jmercedesd]
