I know it was explained that Ian has bipolar and DID. And also that you noted that in the 'So I Danced' mv there's a shift like he has two sides. This is in relation to his DID. Well so far there's 3 - Ian, Mito and Insanity. But in 'So I Danced' there are two main music styles - one is for Insanity and the other is for Mito. I'm watching so many reactions so I may need to double check to see if I missed any from yours. But just to explain Dear Insanity for a bit. You see Ian in these colourful outfits. Most people would think that is Mr. Insanity. He's not. Not yet anyways. Dear Insanity is about the journey Ian takes to The Other Side through lucid dreaming. Throughout that journey he disguises himself and as he dreams more, goes deeper into his mind and other things happen, that leads him to becoming Mr. Insanity. So for now like in So I Danced, Don't Go Insane, he is more Insanity-coded. Limbo was actually the start of him on his beginnings of being influenced by that side of him. Irl it's not just Ian who has 100% control over the musical influence. Ian is very much rock/metal. Mito goes for orchestral violin sounds, Insanity for edm types, however there are more genres to influence them. Like in S.I.D you noticed the shift - it goes from an Insanity-coded style to Mito's. So just to briefly touch on Peanut Butter and Tears. In his lucid dreams, doors represent the gateway to memories. As Ian had explained it Peanut Butter and Tears relate to childhood memories and nostalgia while Tears is about adolescence. In the dream, it feels very Insanity-like which begs the question - is he remembering things as they actually are or is there some sort of filter over it? Irl he talks about getting overstimulated so let's say lots of excitement can bring about a manic state. My other thought is - is the 'filter' the result of being a bit overstimulated by excitement within those memories because we see how unusual the music video is. For me also I see references to a past music video as well. We see a lot of Insanity colours in the mv - purple, yellow and green. But also there's hybrid influence as well with hints of RGB. In one scene where he's in a field of pink flowers, there is a blue flower right in the corner. That's the hybrid influence sneaking in. Mito is present in the mv. As Mito is the guardian of The Other Side he is that dark figure cloaked figure that's levitating high up. Mito usually cautions Ian against opening too many doors. This time he lets Ian open that particular door and experience things until at the end, Mito decides that's enough and wakes Ian up. The reason being is that I believe it's to protect him from going too deep into things.
Woah woah i hadn't even noticed the role Mito was playing by allowing Ian to delve into his memories but only to a certain extent. Crazyy stuff, gotta watch it multiple times to see the different perspectives for sure
@@TiaChim The thing about not opening too many doors is a real life reference. He talks about in one of his interviews. When he dreams, he (sometimes) dreams about either doors or somehow being able to access certain memories or feelings about those memories, if I'm remembering correctly. So he uses doors a lot to represent that. Mito, irl, has cautioned him about opening too many doors because Mito is the protector and the one who wants to guard these memories. That's the role of a protector alter. Each system's protector alter might operate in a different way. In the mv itself, Mito is high up with the lightning flashes and then at the end when the lightning hits the van, Ian wakes up. It seems to me that the memory (within the storyline specifically) that Mito doesn't want Ian to delve into is the one with the van. But just a disclaimer that is just strictly theory for the storyline purpose.
@@Zee_K_7 the more and more theories I head about the MVs the more fascinating it sounds to me. Thank you for sharing 🌌❤️🔥and I'll try keep it in mind that most of these are theories (besides the stuff Ian shared himself)
