I probably should have said this earlier, but when I watch a show, I FEEL IT. this has happened to me for as long as I can remember, I get immersed in to whatever universe I am observing at the time. It makes the experience of a show/game/book that much more enjoyable!
(and now I can really understand why my parents forbade me from watching a lot of cartoons as a child, for what good that did :P ).
I'm sure you've noticed how my style of writing (I guess) will change depending on what I've been watching. Right now I'm going through a rather popular show about people playing a virtual reality game and getting stuck in it, where if you die in game, you die in real life. Its really good so far! Anyway, I feel like because I'm very invested in the story and characters, my actions and emotions reflect that in the real world. Its not just this series, but all of them!
remember when I marathoned Attack on Titan? I became part of that universe! Every single death that was part of the story, I felt it (and my god is there a lot of death). Its not the same as if I lost someone close to me, but I still carry sympathy for the other characters.
I'm not making any sense, am I?
Lets take a look at Kill la Kill, shall we? Like Gurren Lagann, each episode has me screaming, crying, jumping up in excitement, and on the edge of my seat. I was joking about it with my classmates, saying that its shows like that which make you feel the need to have a cigarette after each episode. And if you watch it with someone else, turn to them as ask "was it good for you?" that is the mark of a great show. I'm so excited for each new episode by the time its over, and waiting for it makes my weeks go by a lot faster.
Last night's episode got my blood pumping so much that I took out my sister's dog for a quick run to help calm myself down.
but I digress. . .
I keep thinking about whatever story I'm watching that it actually has an effect on my emotions. My feels are pushed to their limits! I was walking to work today and was still mulling over what I had just seen, my imagination took it and ran. By the time I was walking through the door, my heart was pounding and I was on the verge of tears! FOR ABSOLUTELY NO GODDAMN REASON!!!
maybe I'm just insane.
or maybe it's because I can't stop scream-singing "total eclipse of the heart."
I wonder.
