genuinely one of the best mixed albums I've ever heard.

[@redtarget5275]

I was lucky enough to experience some of the most popular songs on the album on acid while dogfighting in warthunder. Truly, an experience. The distorted bass toward the end of the song is a fave in a 1v1 turn fight where the only way to survive is to remove the other pilot. 🫡👌

[@caliclover]

trying to piece together the lore with the website and the mvs right now, feeling so crazed

[@janettplanett]

the website is SO GOOD omg

[@caliclover]

@@janettplanett RIGHTTTTT i can't believe how put together it is... i love the mercurial world website too but imaginal disk's entire story and the execution of it just feels SO cool and cohesive and so magbay

[@mrerdat]

Taking a wild guess - At 0:45 into the video, a 22 minute timer starts. The album is called "Imaginal Disk", and Imaginal Disc is defined on Wikipedia as "one of the parts of a holometabolous insect larva that will become a portion of the outside of the adult insect during the pupal transformation." According to the track listing this is track number 4 (of 15) so if we take the average pop song length of 3-5 minutes into account the 22 minute countdown will probably end at the start of track 10 "Love Is Everywhere"... The album will go through a "metamorphosis" of some sort which finishes at the end of that countdown, and it will be fucking sick

[@thunderkitte]

her singing 'OMG' is rly hypnotizing

[@scorpiovegan5887]

On repeat 🔁 daily this song is my addiction

[@Vincente22]

From rewatching the two videos, here's what I can piece together of the story so far: The Imaginal Disk process is one that involves memory wiping (and possibly even false (imagined) memories), with the previous memories kept on one of these disks. Given the "mandatory" notices on the side, it's unknown if Mica's character (presumably named "True") chose to do this process voluntarily or not, but essentially The Doctor wipes her memory, creating a newer, lighter version of her without the burdens of her past, whether it really is "True" or not. In a weird loop, she finds a way to give the disk of her memories back to another version of herself, the blonde character, essentially putting her back "where she was before" and reminding her of the tragedy that has occurred to her (we see a spaceship blowing up, perhaps with her lover that we have previously seen escaping inside; we also see the process being conducted on her). Where we go from here and how the time loop works we have yet to find out, but based on another commenter's mention of "imaginal disc" being a real part of insect larva transformation, and the cryptic culmination of the new website resulting in a cocoon, I think that this process has more strings attached than True originally thought!

[@jpsouza]

I think blonde Mica's character name is "Ghost".

[@3d-pro]

@@jpsouzaIf you check their album website. The house in Death & Romance is in there and it's called True's House. So I think Mica is True and Matt's rainbow guy is Ghost. (There's some snippet of the song in album there as well and it's rocking hard af)

[@purple1441]

@@3d-pro GHOST IS A SONG THEY RELEASED BACK IN 2018 HOLY SHIT THEY PLANNED THIS FROM THE START!!!!! AND THE FACT THAT MERCURIAL WORLD LOOPS FORESHADOWED THE TIME LOOP IN THEIR 2ND ALBUM?!?!?!
