ngl if my freind asked me this i would probably go too small issue - my friend is in a completely different country and the friends i have in the country i am in aren't living close to me so i couldn't
I visited that place. They got lots of cheese. But seriously, this sounds almost exactly like what happened to a friend who developed schizophrenia. Ended up moving out to rural Idaho to live off the land. A farmer found him starving and cold in his fields. Now he lives in a group home, gets the care he needs, and seems more or less content with his life.
yeah, it was pretty fun. did you notice that if you voted to switch the end sky and the overworld sky and looked over the edge in the end youd see the earth instead of the sun/moon
This actually reminded me of a friend of mine who got obsessed with a mathematical equation. I dont remember what it was off the top of my head but I remember getting a week of really insane and progressively wild messages as he was having panic attacks every time he recognized the number out in every day life. Then he got hit by a car and was in a coma for a month. They were about to pull the plug on him when his brain started showing signs of activity again. When he finally woke up, he had no clue what any of us were talking about regarding the mat thing and he's been totally normal ever since.
@@glumbortango7182 I initially thought it was the Golden Spiral issue, but I remember right before he got hit by the car, he said he'd been seeing it in gas station signs, license plates, grocery stores, everywhere and he was getting really manic about it.
That's the thing I love about ARGs. People make them so believable that sometimes idk if what's going on in them is real or fake. It's very well made! Especially with the king being now 19 going on 20. Not bad at all
Also, psycrosilvin could be a stand in for Dextromethorphan. Dextromethorphan is commonly misused by adolecesents. Dextromethorphan is supposed to be used as a cough medicine.
The message about addiction was really powerful, imo. Too many people don't realize how most people get addicted, reverting to statements like "they should've known better", or "they should've been more careful", not realizing how slippery the slope can be, and that many addicts are victims themselves. Especially with how the medical system can be, it isn't always a clear choice of just "not getting addicted", and like you said it often sinks its claws in before the person even realizes they have a problem. And in other cases, having family members who live with chronic pain, and developing it myself, not enough realize how desperate you can get when you live in pain that never goes away, and when doctors have continuously failed to help you. Being sick, in any way, can seriously eat at you, and that's unfortunately where a lot of these kinds of issues originate. Not in bad, careless, or dumb people, but human beings with human problems who get caught in a bad situation and then can't get out. I'm fortunate enough that I've never had a serious addiction; I'm well aware I'm the type that's prone to it, so it's an active effort to do what I can to avoid potential triggers. But anyone who has and is fighting it, or has recovered, will always have my fullest respect.
@@hooverpatty7935 If you can't read that tiny amount of text, you should really consider trying to find some things you'd enjoy reading and slowly working to increase the length that you can make yourself read in one sitting.
There's a very good line that encapsulates the specific type of horror this is intended to create: "Either the world is mad, or I am mad; I do not know which is worse."
that line remind me of a moment in 12 monkeys when one of the characthers celebrates her own insanity because being insane its better that being right,just to discover she isn't mad
@@imakerbadcontentrbad8664 | The genre where I heard the line was cosmic horror, actually. When written well, it deals with a lot of uncertainty and paranoia. Probably because the genre's founder (Lovecraft) watched both his parents end up in a sanatorium while he was growing up, and spent his entire adult life as a paranoid shell convinced he too would eventually "go mad."
I actually had a similar independant situation, where I for 3 years, thought/hallucinated that the moon at some points expanded, after I stared at it for some time, at each instance. I grew an irrational paranoia and phobia towards the moon. It went away after I started to fear a much more rational thing, black holes
So you were hallucinating the moon expanding (getting closer or something of that sort?), and then you got so afraid of it you developed a phobia over it, and the only reason it disappeared was because you became scared of something else? Rough man.
Definitely an accurate representation of how it is for a person to endure the psychological effects of both addiction and schizophrenia. Even though an ARG, hit close to home on this one.
@@TimmyBoxman dont you think its because you dont even try to look at it from another perspective? You act like everyone's reaction would be the same as yours, as someone who had a weird psychology fixation phase, its seems pretty accurate from what i can tell
This ARG is actually incredible because it's such an unexpected twist, yet the theme is something that almost every single one of us has had experience with, addiction. Addiction is something that consistently affects our day to day lives and as you said, many may not even realize they are. From illegal substances to adult entertainment, from gambling to video games, from technology to high speeds, almost anything and everything can be an addiction and almost every single one of us have or have had an addiction to something at some point. The fact this ARG plays into that while showing what it does to your life and your relationships while also encouraging those that suffer to get help and affirming that they are a victim in this is both genius and incredible. Sometimes all we need is that one person to reach out and give us the push to get that help we need, a luxury that a surprising ammount of addicts unfortunately don't have. This is hands down one of the best ARGs ever, I have such an utmost respect to this guy for creating this and sending such a strong and beautiful message along with it.
Nice to have an ARG where there is no supernatural monsters, or grand conspiracy BS, nah it's just some guy losing his mind over a glitch that happened when he played Minecraft on an old busted IMac.
The thing about psycosilvrin is what's catching me off guard- the fact it's a medicine that seemingly doesn't exist kinda throws off the realistic vibe he's going for
It seemed to me that he gave his friend a fake med name so he couldn't look it up (that's what I got from their conversation where the friend was clearly suspicious about it, especially when he couldn't find anything about it).
So cool how people don't bother helping someone with addiction and just watching it happen. Nice, true friendships man....abandoning friends who get hooked and only watch from the sidelines and help. Real friends would help and stay everyday with em, but sadly....people in our generation are just fuckin stupid.
@@ScarletQueenGabby yet again, only supporting my point mate, you choose to allow them to PUSH YOU away. Instead of persisting and trying to help another person you just allow them to make YOU do something. When really it is YOUR OWN choice to help them just as it to be "helping" by idly sitting by watching them suffer instead of helping. Stop supporting the fake help, ACTUALLY TRY TO HELP PEOPLE. It ain't that hard chief, it's words of encouragement, love, care, and that dispite you not knowin em you'd help.
@@ownerlesscat7523, how long can you let someone push you and drag you with them before you realize they never will get help? sometimes people never learn. I think you need a SERIOUS reality check because toxic optimism exists.
@@ownerlesscat7523, just like how someone isn't weak for getting addicted, you aren't "lazy" or "stupid" if that person literally refuses every source of help. Sorry to break to you, but sometimes you have to deal with your own fucking problems and not expect them to fix themselves! Here's a metaphor that could help you: If you try to help every drowning person, you might drown too eventually.
Brrr... That was creepy, I hid my eyes several times because I thought something was gonna jumpscare me. That's good horror : not scaring you with actual jumpscares, but with the constant fear that there could be one at any moment. Also I thought Legend's descent was going to continue until he would eventually take his life, considering how awful he felt. But no, he actually got out of this and I'm really really happy for him. I'm glad that he lives a happier life now ^^
This series is honestly so unique. Despite having very little actual production value, it still manages to tell a story with things that anyone can access, and in a very concise way too. It really shows that you can tell a story, even without professional quality
the small production value adds to it in my opinion. As you said, _anyone_ can access, so _anyone_ could very well make this, no matter how insane or not.
This is the most creative ARG I've seen, yet it also wears its inspirations on its sleeves, Blair Witch, Marble Hornets, House of Leaves, mwah, its perfect. The psychological horror of seeing this man go through a mental breakdown is so good, and very much in line with the kinda horror arg's I'm into, it also has a very important message to deliver about addiction. The photos, screenshots, videos shot in traditional found footage which pour serotonin right into my brain, the documents, wiki pages, text messages, and even direct interaction with your shoutout (direct interaction if extremely small, would've loved to have like more direct NPC talks and some puzzles wouldve been nice, although I don't think that's what this arg's going for so it's a nitpick) this is fuckin great, more shit like this
I wonder is Psycrosilvrin is "fake" in universe as well, as in some quack doctor gave it to him with the intent of getting him hooked on it while disguising it as cough medicine? Then once he got hooked on it the doctor was able to rake in a load of cash while he was effected mentally by what might actually be a psychoactive drug, with the Minecraft videos actually being from his perspective while he's hallucinating.
If this story is one big analogy for something to do with addiction, then I believe this is one of the best stories made portraying addiction that I've seen to date (im 20) without being over the top or directly telling you the story is about addiction / drug use. From the ages of 15-18 I was addicted to Xanax and perc so I really know what addiction is like amd that complete madness being unable to cope with the world around me. When looking at the story from this take then it makes a lot of sense, and I prefer it over moon agents.
@@SavageJarJar yeah what he said, you can I guess in a sense use it for pain like nerve pain but it's nothing like perc or something similar. I still have terrible anxiety but I've learned to cope with it in better ways than taking drugs, like taking a nap instead
My favourite thing about this is that there is little to no supernatural occurrences. It was the story of a man who wanted answer and lost everything trying to find them, and after realizing what he’s done, is still willing to fix his life. That’s a fantastic story to me. It encapsulates the horror of insanity and the human nature of doing anything possible to find answers to their questions.
24:57 imagine NASA representatives, coming up onto the pulpit and they go “ladies and gentlemen……some of you may know the video game Minecraft….” And they go on to talk about the most incoherent rant about how Minecraft and the moon have some major connection
My main takeaway is that Legend’s computer is really loud jesus christ my guy Although taking moon drugs has made this man really good at journaling. That circle journal is genuinely pretty
This is definitely one of the best ARGs I've seen in the past decade. From screenshots and recordings that make people question whether they're real or not, to a well put-together narrative that touches on subjects that no other ARG has before. Not only does this series teach us a lesson of how addiction is not your fault, but it also delves into the habit of obsessing over something to a dangerous degree, and how that could drive someone to act violently and to overthink. As we see Legend snap at his Discord friends, and how he rambles about folklore and symbolism with the moon in various pieces of media. It teaches us that sometimes... you just have to take a step back, and take a break.
This story really hit close to home, in a good way. The "sometimes you're just not able to see how your medication is fucking you up" side, especially. I am just recovering after two months of hellish mess, where I started taking antihistaminics to soothe my severe eczema. The antihistaminics turned out to have a lot more side effects than I had anticipated, and I went from constant sleepiness and tiredness, to regular dizziness and derealization, up to a nearly depressive state by mid-december. I was mentally confused as hell all the time, feeling guilty bc I was a weight for my friends, not understanding what was happening and even thinking I was faking it. But once I understood everything in a retrospective manner, I was in the same state than the protagonist, trying really hard to accept that it wasn't my entire fault. While still not completely stable today, I am doing way better, and started another treatment for my eczema that, almost a month later, showed no big side effect whatsoever.
hey, i just wanted to say you helped one of my best friends realise that the abuse she suffered from the hands of her father is not her fault i could never convince her, but you, and this story, did. thank you. i will never be able to tell you how much it means to me.
@@Guilty2805 tf is your problem. They did all they could and sometimes it takes something else to realise something; that no matter how many people tell you, you don't believe it, but some random encounter or video could. Next time try shutting up and getting educated. You have no idea the intricacies of what their situation could be. They clearly cared enough to make a comment expressing gratitude over it so clearly they care greatly about their friend. Just cause you're Guilty doesn't mean others are, who recognise there wasn't much they could do.
This ARG is genuinely one of the greatest stories I've ever witnessed, and the best part is that I don't even know if this is real or just done for the series. Everything comes together naturally. Legend makes an iceberg chart, dives deep into the depths of one entry he knew a lot less about, and slowly but surely descends into madness. He sacrifices everything he has and all his friends leave him except for one, which is what pushes him to get therapy and talk about his addiction and rid of it from his life. It all comes together in a way done so well and natural that it even keeps you wondering by the end, not much about Legend, but what he's found. Of course not really much to think of it now but maybe one day. Amazing video and explanation RT, and I hope Legendfinder is doing well. He can finally rest.
Dude, schizophrenia episodes can seem so real, I legit belived I could see the future based on who would appear in the bottom left hand corners of the tv guide, based on their gender (1 for male, 2 for female, 3 for both a man and a woman etc). So, in that mindset, of course a white rabit represents a lunar being who could have potentially world ending ramifications, and I am the only one who has figured it all out
I never had to battle any kind of drug addiction, but I did develop a form of psychotic delusions of grandeur when I was about 14, and I can relate to Legend so bad here. I actually had similar delusions about aliens communicating with me and watching me, and it slowly became an obsession. I slowly started losing myself in a lot of ways and began to drift away from the people in my life. I behaved and thought in a very similar way to Legend as I slowly began to spiral as my obsession with these delusions got worse and worse. The thing with these kinds of delusions is that, no matter what, they always feel extremely real, like your mind is hardwired to believe it. It can slowly become your whole world, your reality, and if your reality is just all in your head, what do you even do with yourself? Even after I partially realized that my delusions where all in my head, they still FELT real. I had the KNOWLEDGE that they were fake, but it was hard to actively, emotionally BELIEVE it. Getting help was one of the most terrifying things I'd ever done, but I eventually got it. But I still vividly remember the feelings, the obsessiveness of it all. That's why I can easily empathize with Legend in this ARG. It's impossibly hard to get out of that mindset alone, and you need so much support to do it. Even though it would be clear to everyone else that the moon stuff wasn't real, it always feels so obviously true to the one trapped in the delusion.
This happens to me sometimes, although it never gets so bad that I believe them for prolonged amounts of time. I’m just afraid that eventually I’ll slip into a state of mind I can’t snap myself out of
I'm really interested in Legend's obsession for results and answers, with insanity slowly consuming him in the process. He doesn't really like to do this, but he has to. There's so many theories, so little time. Edit: 16:25 You're right, as before, Legend's notes were slightly simple, but organized. But now his notes are that of a cult member's
I think in this story Legend did stumble on something eldritch and lost his mind, but the unknowable creature or phenomenon on the contrary to him did not care at all. It just passed through, perhaps not even considering what sort of influence it would have on the poor mortal.
I know it wasn’t the purpose of the vid, or even the whole project, but this is extremely inspirational, to have a long ass ARG to tell a very modern message, and it is always beautiful to see something like that. This has inspired me from the day I saw it, I nearly made an ARG myself, and I still do more weird projects that never get finished, I so desperately want to make an impact on the world and someday I hope I will, just how Legend made an impact on all of us
I love how this arg was recorded on a phone too! It’s just such a smart way to subvert the trope of the video stopping inexplicably because a crash happened and shows how the narrator has some active braincells in that noggin’
I'm a person to easily get scared from different things, but what scared me the most in this ARG isn't the moon agents, theories and moon expansion (although usually I'm freaked out by these things) but the fact that I could be in his place. I have a habit with obsessing around certain things I'm interested in, looking for information everywhere. And I clearly see myself doing crazy research, arguing with my friends and thinking about only one particular thing - only because it scared or interested me too much. It is pretty creepy
I just discovered something about Psycrosylvin. The name Psycrosylvin is related to the name of a specific fungi called Psilocybin. Every time you try to seach up the drug he was addicted to, there are no search results of this drug or medication at all. The chemicals of Psycrosylvin are most likely the related to the fungi. It may explain why he was losing his mind over small glitches and myths. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi. The most potent are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about a dozen other genera. Psilocybin is itself biologically inactive but is quickly converted by the body to psilocin, which has mind-altering effects similar, in some aspects, to those of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, and dimethyltryptamine (DMT). In general, the effects include euphoria, visual and mental hallucinations, changes in perception, distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences. It can also cause adverse reactions such as nausea and panic attacks. With this information you could probably see where I'm going with this. Psycrosylivin is probably made out of this one chemical inside of this fungi. And since he was believing things about rhe agent to be real and rhe secrets about the moon (which I'm not trying to put down since there is unspeakable amounts of unknown information that we can't dream of) most likely the effects of this chemical inside of this fungi may have been put into this one drug. It is possible that he could have made this himself or got it from a secret/unknown source but we don't have any information for that yet so who's to say? But i literally just found this out on this thundering night so when i get more information or if I should research this more, I'll provide a deeper and longer evidence for this unknown "Psycrosylvin"
As soon as you mentioned the pills I knew they had to have played part in his madness; there is no way an ungoogleable pill that he was taking wasn't doing anything to his mental health. Combined with the implications of the wiki, I can confindently say that this is some really smart symbolism and awareness stuff or that this was a very well thought out ARG. Props to Legendfinder, he was The Legend.
this is by far 𝘵𝘩𝘦 most well written and composed creepypasta/ARG ever made. Everything about it feels like it could be possible, just in a different timeline that is slightly different than ours.
3:15 "Some sorta ghosts... alien... herobrine... femboy..." Wait, you're saying if I stare at the moon from a cave entrance, a femboy is going to come to me?
The fact that he did this ARG through a game that so many kids play and love really is great. If they are struggling with any drug issues or anything, hopefully this ARG will help them. Edit: Wanted to also comment is I love the moon a lot, I just can't keep my eyes off of it when it's full, I just want to lay on grass and stare at through the night. So this ARG is kind of ironic to me and I really enjoyed this video because of that.
this is one of the many ARGS that i heavily enjoyed as it explains real life problems, it digs deeper into the depth of society and different stages of anxiety, depression, mental break downs, panic attacks, and of courses... *addiction.*
Its kinda crazy that this Minecraft ARG became about overcoming addiction, and showing the side effects in a respectful way If its truly over, this has been a wild ride
I so desperately want you to interview him about this. It’s such a well made ARG! I’m so fucking curious about his thoughts about how it ended up, the filming of it, etc.
My mind is blown at how incredibly intricate this ARG is. What a legend Legend is for this dedication! - and your narration and commentary added that extra spice. :)
The true decent into “madness” is something I can really relate to sadly I had what I can only describe as a “mania episode” cupple years ago,still working on my bipolar disorder diagnosis,losing freinds leading you to be alone with your thoughts and at some point believing there’s no “going back” shit is scary but not talked about enough,love this
All I can say is... this... this brought me *back.* I remember back years ago when I used to spend day after day watching Minecraft creepypastas, ARGs, and other things of the sort. When I saw this in my recommended, I knew I was in for a treat. And that's not even to mention how good this ARG actually is! I simply must say, bravo.
This was absolutely AMAZING, I can't believe I just now found this video.. His acting, and the fact he even dove into addiction and how hard it is, and how much of a struggle it is to get yourself out, was just. Mwah, chefs kiss oh my god!! From what he was experiencing throughout this entire ARG, really sounded like drug induced paranoid schizophrenia. And I have had my fair share of people in my life that have had this happen. The complete personality change, the change in tone, the complete OBSESSION, with the moon, and how fearful he was that someone, or anything was coming for him, to the point where he would RISK his own life just to see, if anything was true, or if anything was really coming for him.. I absolutely adored the writings he did, i genuinely wish he did more of them, because oh my goodness, those really helped us dive deeper into his mind, and really helped us see the complete personality change from who he was before, and it helped symbolize the way he thinks, and the way he sees. The art, the poetry that he wrote down, was truly amazing, and really put into detail how detrimental addiction is, and how fast the side effects really can be to many people. How it can push away family, and how it can take over in an instant, and im so happy he showed how difficult it was to come to terms, and realize that it wasn't okay. And the fact that someone came to him, trying to seek out something good through his videos, and telling him about the "monster" in his video, truly shook me when it just drove him into an even DEEPER psychosis. This was a beautiful representation of addiction, and how hard it can hit you, change your life, and how it's so hard to recover.
Currently at 10:03 and this is the exact stuff i needed to instill the fear of the minecraft caves back into me! I need to watch more minecraft creepypasta things because i might be able to spice up my gameplay again
This is both depressing and scary with how there are people in real life who are exactly like that. People who have been alienated by friends and family and are left festering in their delusions.
This arg reminds me of House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski! Specifically the journal entries. Idk if this was intentional by the creator or not, but either way very well done, I really enjoyed it! :)
I like when these stories ,webseries and ARGs include the Moon as a main plot point, because for a person like me that has an innate phobia of the satellite it makes the thrills that much better. Plus it's Minecraft, which adds a great layer of nostalgic feelings over it that just so perfect... I'm glad you revisited this because it seriously was worth it! The whole addiction metaphor side really wasnt as clear before yet but now it makes everything click.
20:10 i feel like THIS is truly where i felt the worse, just a man going into madness, and he has too distract himself, and i feel so super sad just from hearing him like that, even though i know its *probably* fake, its still really sad. P.S. the cat drawing was rly good
I like how psychosilvin acts like Psilocybin, which is a psychedelic compound found in "magic mushrooms", often in the Psilocybe genus. It's used in spiritual rituals, recreationally, and as medicine.
Gotta shout-out you using the submerged castle theme. Always makes me happy to hear the music I grew up with still kicking around. Great choice Also great video so far (Haven't finished yet though) you gain subscriber
I haven't suffered with addiction myself, but I've witnessed others around me do so and I think this ARG encapsulated it so well. Though, another thing I think it perfectly encapsulates is the feeling of losing your mind or at least witnessing someone doing so. Addiction and failing mental health are honestly very hard to not only face, but recognize in yourself. I speak from experience with the failing mental health as a while ago I was literally losing my mind. It starts with one thing that seems so far away, until it becomes so normal for you when it shouldn't be at all. You start to ruminate on only it until it devours all your waking hours. And as someone who has had to get help multiple times in their life, one of the scariest things is saying something is wrong and trying something new. The fear of the unknown, which the unknown for me is getting better, always scared me from getting better so sometimes I would relapse from getting better and I would end up getting worse. For me, staying in something that was so toxic and literally killing me felt safer than anything else, but we need a push and people beside us that will stay with us through it. Personally... I found this ARG terrifying because it reminded me of helping people who needed help like I do, and those many times I needed help. It feels like the darkest ocean, yet despite that, it feels so familiar. It's amazingly crafted.
Beware, after the clock strikes midnight, unspeakable horrors come alive. With an eye on your clock and the other on the moon, escape from this desolate land. As the nights go on, it slowly gets longer and longer... The more you stare at the moon, the more you can’t get your eyes off it. So remember, don’t look at the moon.
i love youtubers who don't beg for you to subscribe they just tell you to enjoy the video, a rare sight around this timeframe in 2024 where basically every popular video is skibidi toilet brainrot or people begging for subscribers, thanks RT60! :D
I saw the thumbnail and had a dream about this. The dream was that when you did look at the moon, all monster spawns would be replaced with angry and very strong enderman. It was pretty scary to say the least.
First time seeing a video from this channel, while this is pretty interesting to learn about, I couldn’t help but acknowledge RT60’s energy. He sounds like such a chill guy and unlike many other UA-camrs I’ve watched he actually sounds like a real person you’d meet and be friends with. Great video.
This could be a good horror movie, when the main character is suspecting something from their studies to the point that they become the monster of the story...
I love Minecraft ARGs. The thought of turning a silly block game into something scary is amazing. It's so silly and creative, exactly what Minecraft wants it's players to be.
brooo the way you narrate the texts is just gold that put chills down my spine and its only just the half of the video goddam bro keep the good job up man dang
i honestly rly enjoyed the voice acting and your narration, i listen to videos when im at work so it made it super easy to understand what was going on without looking at the screen
Great video! I'm glad Legendfinder is feeling better after all that. I really enjoyed your other video about this arg and I’m glad you came back with this topic. Also I accidentally looked at the moon in this and I hope I’m not cursed or anything
I love how you say dont look at the moon at the end, yet the moon is one of my most favorite things in the world and whenever i get the chance i stare at it. (Doesnt the end remind you of, dont mine at night? Just me? Okay..)
Tbh you did REALLY good RT like DAMN. The editing and voice acting mixed together in this lovely soup that when tasted gives me ALL of the right shivers down my spine That probably made no sense but the gist is I think that this kinda video was stupid cool and as a new subscriber from the gumball videos would love to see more of :>

The message about addiction was really powerful, imo. Too many people don't realize how most people get addicted, reverting to statements like "they should've known better", or "they should've been more careful", not realizing how slippery the slope can be, and that many addicts are victims themselves. Especially with how the medical system can be, it isn't always a clear choice of just "not getting addicted", and like you said it often sinks its claws in before the person even realizes they have a problem.
And in other cases, having family members who live with chronic pain, and developing it myself, not enough realize how desperate you can get when you live in pain that never goes away, and when doctors have continuously failed to help you. Being sick, in any way, can seriously eat at you, and that's unfortunately where a lot of these kinds of issues originate. Not in bad, careless, or dumb people, but human beings with human problems who get caught in a bad situation and then can't get out.
I'm fortunate enough that I've never had a serious addiction; I'm well aware I'm the type that's prone to it, so it's an active effort to do what I can to avoid potential triggers. But anyone who has and is fighting it, or has recovered, will always have my fullest respect.

@@pleasegoawaydude I will say in some platforms the small text just is hard of not broken up with double spaces between paragraphs.
There's a very good line that encapsulates the specific type of horror this is intended to create:
"Either the world is mad, or I am mad; I do not know which is worse."
that line remind me of a moment in 12 monkeys when one of the characthers celebrates her own insanity because being insane its better that being right,just to discover she isn't mad

I THINK that you could also be referring to the "Conspiracy Fiction" or "Paranoid Thriller" genre.
@@imakerbadcontentrbad8664 | The genre where I heard the line was cosmic horror, actually. When written well, it deals with a lot of uncertainty and paranoia.
Probably because the genre's founder (Lovecraft) watched both his parents end up in a sanatorium while he was growing up, and spent his entire adult life as a paranoid shell convinced he too would eventually "go mad."
god i love cosmic horror
I actually had a similar independant situation, where I for 3 years, thought/hallucinated that the moon at some points expanded, after I stared at it for some time, at each instance. I grew an irrational paranoia and phobia towards the moon. It went away after I started to fear a much more rational thing, black holes
So you were hallucinating the moon expanding (getting closer or something of that sort?), and then you got so afraid of it you developed a phobia over it, and the only reason it disappeared was because you became scared of something else? Rough man.
Me too
Wait until you hear about gamma ray bursts. Ready to fear the stars?

@@TimmyBoxman dont you think its because you dont even try to look at it from another perspective? You act like everyone's reaction would be the same as yours, as someone who had a weird psychology fixation phase, its seems pretty accurate from what i can tell
This ARG is actually incredible because it's such an unexpected twist, yet the theme is something that almost every single one of us has had experience with, addiction.
Addiction is something that consistently affects our day to day lives and as you said, many may not even realize they are.
From illegal substances to adult entertainment, from gambling to video games, from technology to high speeds, almost anything and everything can be an addiction and almost every single one of us have or have had an addiction to something at some point.
The fact this ARG plays into that while showing what it does to your life and your relationships while also encouraging those that suffer to get help and affirming that they are a victim in this is both genius and incredible.
Sometimes all we need is that one person to reach out and give us the push to get that help we need, a luxury that a surprising ammount of addicts unfortunately don't have.
This is hands down one of the best ARGs ever, I have such an utmost respect to this guy for creating this and sending such a strong and beautiful message along with it.
Nice to have an ARG where there is no supernatural monsters, or grand conspiracy BS, nah it's just some guy losing his mind over a glitch that happened when he played Minecraft on an old busted IMac.
The thing about psycosilvrin is what's catching me off guard- the fact it's a medicine that seemingly doesn't exist kinda throws off the realistic vibe he's going for
@@axolotlfairy2473 I'm guessing he thought it would be in bad taste to have it be a drug that people actually get addicted to in the real world.
It seemed to me that he gave his friend a fake med name so he couldn't look it up (that's what I got from their conversation where the friend was clearly suspicious about it, especially when he couldn't find anything about it).
that's also just one big metaphor for addiction
fr
This was one of the best, most intricate metaphors for addiction I've ever seen!
So cool how people don't bother helping someone with addiction and just watching it happen. Nice, true friendships man....abandoning friends who get hooked and only watch from the sidelines and help. Real friends would help and stay everyday with em, but sadly....people in our generation are just fuckin stupid.
@@ownerlesscat7523 You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped. Most people suffering from addiction push people away who try and help.

When really it is YOUR OWN choice to help them just as it to be "helping" by idly sitting by watching them suffer instead of helping. Stop supporting the fake help, ACTUALLY TRY TO HELP PEOPLE. It ain't that hard chief, it's words of encouragement, love, care, and that dispite you not knowin em you'd help.
@@ownerlesscat7523, how long can you let someone push you and drag you with them before you realize they never will get help? sometimes people never learn. I think you need a SERIOUS reality check because toxic optimism exists.
@@ownerlesscat7523, just like how someone isn't weak for getting addicted, you aren't "lazy" or "stupid" if that person literally refuses every source of help. Sorry to break to you, but sometimes you have to deal with your own fucking problems and not expect them to fix themselves! Here's a metaphor that could help you: If you try to help every drowning person, you might drown too eventually.

This series is honestly so unique. Despite having very little actual production value, it still manages to tell a story with things that anyone can access, and in a very concise way too. It really shows that you can tell a story, even without professional quality
the small production value adds to it in my opinion. As you said, _anyone_ can access, so _anyone_ could very well make this, no matter how insane or not.
I prefer low budget projects more than expensive projects in my opinion bc u can sense the real drive in them more than those hollow big budget things
This is the most creative ARG I've seen, yet it also wears its inspirations on its sleeves, Blair Witch, Marble Hornets, House of Leaves, mwah, its perfect.
The psychological horror of seeing this man go through a mental breakdown is so good, and very much in line with the kinda horror arg's I'm into, it also has a very important message to deliver about addiction. The photos, screenshots, videos shot in traditional found footage which pour serotonin right into my brain, the documents, wiki pages, text messages, and even direct interaction with your shoutout (direct interaction if extremely small, would've loved to have like more direct NPC talks and some puzzles wouldve been nice, although I don't think that's what this arg's going for so it's a nitpick) this is fuckin great, more shit like this

I wonder is Psycrosilvrin is "fake" in universe as well, as in some quack doctor gave it to him with the intent of getting him hooked on it while disguising it as cough medicine? Then once he got hooked on it the doctor was able to rake in a load of cash while he was effected mentally by what might actually be a psychoactive drug, with the Minecraft videos actually being from his perspective while he's hallucinating.
12:52 its just a theory. A GAME THEORY! _eyes begin to tear up_

If this story is one big analogy for something to do with addiction, then I believe this is one of the best stories made portraying addiction that I've seen to date (im 20) without being over the top or directly telling you the story is about addiction / drug use. From the ages of 15-18 I was addicted to Xanax and perc so I really know what addiction is like amd that complete madness being unable to cope with the world around me. When looking at the story from this take then it makes a lot of sense, and I prefer it over moon agents.
xanax? isn't that the thing for your back or smth idk i don't pay attention to ads
@@SavageJarJar Xanax is a sedative prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. The relaxing effects it causes can be very addictive.
@@chipstick3856 oh ok, thanks
@@SavageJarJar yeah what he said, you can I guess in a sense use it for pain like nerve pain but it's nothing like perc or something similar. I still have terrible anxiety but I've learned to cope with it in better ways than taking drugs, like taking a nap instead
Bro why did you use that in the first place?
My favourite thing about this is that there is little to no supernatural occurrences. It was the story of a man who wanted answer and lost everything trying to find them, and after realizing what he’s done, is still willing to fix his life. That’s a fantastic story to me. It encapsulates the horror of insanity and the human nature of doing anything possible to find answers to their questions.
24:57 imagine NASA representatives, coming up onto the pulpit and they go “ladies and gentlemen……some of you may know the video game Minecraft….” And they go on to talk about the most incoherent rant about how Minecraft and the moon have some major connection
My main takeaway is that Legend’s computer is really loud jesus christ my guy
Although taking moon drugs has made this man really good at journaling. That circle journal is genuinely pretty
This is definitely one of the best ARGs I've seen in the past decade. From screenshots and recordings that make people question whether they're real or not, to a well put-together narrative that touches on subjects that no other ARG has before.
Not only does this series teach us a lesson of how addiction is not your fault, but it also delves into the habit of obsessing over something to a dangerous degree, and how that could drive someone to act violently and to overthink. As we see Legend snap at his Discord friends, and how he rambles about folklore and symbolism with the moon in various pieces of media. It teaches us that sometimes... you just have to take a step back, and take a break.
This story really hit close to home, in a good way. The "sometimes you're just not able to see how your medication is fucking you up" side, especially.
I am just recovering after two months of hellish mess, where I started taking antihistaminics to soothe my severe eczema. The antihistaminics turned out to have a lot more side effects than I had anticipated, and I went from constant sleepiness and tiredness, to regular dizziness and derealization, up to a nearly depressive state by mid-december. I was mentally confused as hell all the time, feeling guilty bc I was a weight for my friends, not understanding what was happening and even thinking I was faking it. But once I understood everything in a retrospective manner, I was in the same state than the protagonist, trying really hard to accept that it wasn't my entire fault.
While still not completely stable today, I am doing way better, and started another treatment for my eczema that, almost a month later, showed no big side effect whatsoever.
hey, i just wanted to say

This ARG is genuinely one of the greatest stories I've ever witnessed, and the best part is that I don't even know if this is real or just done for the series.
Everything comes together naturally. Legend makes an iceberg chart, dives deep into the depths of one entry he knew a lot less about, and slowly but surely descends into madness. He sacrifices everything he has and all his friends leave him except for one, which is what pushes him to get therapy and talk about his addiction and rid of it from his life.
It all comes together in a way done so well and natural that it even keeps you wondering by the end, not much about Legend, but what he's found. Of course not really much to think of it now but maybe one day.
Amazing video and explanation RT, and I hope Legendfinder is doing well. He can finally rest.
Dude, schizophrenia episodes can seem so real, I legit belived I could see the future based on who would appear in the bottom left hand corners of the tv guide, based on their gender (1 for male, 2 for female, 3 for both a man and a woman etc). So, in that mindset, of course a white rabit represents a lunar being who could have potentially world ending ramifications, and I am the only one who has figured it all out
I never had to battle any kind of drug addiction, but I did develop a form of psychotic delusions of grandeur when I was about 14, and I can relate to Legend so bad here. I actually had similar delusions about aliens communicating with me and watching me, and it slowly became an obsession. I slowly started losing myself in a lot of ways and began to drift away from the people in my life. I behaved and thought in a very similar way to Legend as I slowly began to spiral as my obsession with these delusions got worse and worse.
The thing with these kinds of delusions is that, no matter what, they always feel extremely real, like your mind is hardwired to believe it. It can slowly become your whole world, your reality, and if your reality is just all in your head, what do you even do with yourself? Even after I partially realized that my delusions where all in my head, they still FELT real. I had the KNOWLEDGE that they were fake, but it was hard to actively, emotionally BELIEVE it.
Getting help was one of the most terrifying things I'd ever done, but I eventually got it. But I still vividly remember the feelings, the obsessiveness of it all. That's why I can easily empathize with Legend in this ARG. It's impossibly hard to get out of that mindset alone, and you need so much support to do it. Even though it would be clear to everyone else that the moon stuff wasn't real, it always feels so obviously true to the one trapped in the delusion.
This happens to me sometimes, although it never gets so bad that I believe them for prolonged amounts of time. I’m just afraid that eventually I’ll slip into a state of mind I can’t snap myself out of
@@frogdetectivee same thing has happened to me a few times, but it ussually only lasts a few minutes, hours, or days

@@youdonotcare Thanks for asking! I’m getting help for how I am so I’m definitely on the road to getting better
I'm really interested in Legend's obsession for results and answers, with insanity slowly consuming him in the process. He doesn't really like to do this, but he has to. There's so many theories, so little time.
Edit: 16:25 You're right, as before, Legend's notes were slightly simple, but organized. But now his notes are that of a cult member's
I think in this story Legend did stumble on something eldritch and lost his mind, but the unknowable creature or phenomenon on the contrary to him did not care at all. It just passed through, perhaps not even considering what sort of influence it would have on the poor mortal.
Most eldritch horror storys do feature the main character going insane
I know it wasn’t the purpose of the vid, or even the whole project, but this is extremely inspirational, to have a long ass ARG to tell a very modern message, and it is always beautiful to see something like that. This has inspired me from the day I saw it, I nearly made an ARG myself, and I still do more weird projects that never get finished, I so desperately want to make an impact on the world and someday I hope I will, just how Legend made an impact on all of us
I love how this arg was recorded on a phone too! It’s just such a smart way to subvert the trope of the video stopping inexplicably because a crash happened and shows how the narrator has some active braincells in that noggin’
I'm a person to easily get scared from different things, but what scared me the most in this ARG isn't the moon agents, theories and moon expansion (although usually I'm freaked out by these things) but the fact that I could be in his place. I have a habit with obsessing around certain things I'm interested in, looking for information everywhere. And I clearly see myself doing crazy research, arguing with my friends and thinking about only one particular thing - only because it scared or interested me too much. It is pretty creepy
I just discovered something about Psycrosylvin. The name Psycrosylvin is related to the name of a specific fungi called Psilocybin. Every time you try to seach up the drug he was addicted to, there are no search results of this drug or medication at all. The chemicals of Psycrosylvin are most likely the related to the fungi. It may explain why he was losing his mind over small glitches and myths.
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of fungi. The most potent are members of genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about a dozen other genera. Psilocybin is itself biologically inactive but is quickly converted by the body to psilocin, which has mind-altering effects similar, in some aspects, to those of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline, and dimethyltryptamine (DMT). In general, the effects include euphoria, visual and mental hallucinations, changes in perception, distorted sense of time, and perceived spiritual experiences. It can also cause adverse reactions such as nausea and panic attacks.
With this information you could probably see where I'm going with this. Psycrosylivin is probably made out of this one chemical inside of this fungi. And since he was believing things about rhe agent to be real and rhe secrets about the moon (which I'm not trying to put down since there is unspeakable amounts of unknown information that we can't dream of) most likely the effects of this chemical inside of this fungi may have been put into this one drug. It is possible that he could have made this himself or got it from a secret/unknown source but we don't have any information for that yet so who's to say? But i literally just found this out on this thundering night so when i get more information or if I should research this more, I'll provide a deeper and longer evidence for this unknown "Psycrosylvin"
As soon as you mentioned the pills I knew they had to have played part in his madness; there is no way an ungoogleable pill that he was taking wasn't doing anything to his mental health. Combined with the implications of the wiki, I can confindently say that this is some really smart symbolism and awareness stuff or that this was a very well thought out ARG. Props to Legendfinder, he was The Legend.
this is by far 𝘵𝘩𝘦 most well written and composed creepypasta/ARG ever made. Everything about it feels like it could be possible, just in a different timeline that is slightly different than ours.

Edit: Wanted to also comment is I love the moon a lot, I just can't keep my eyes off of it when it's full, I just want to lay on grass and stare at through the night. So this ARG is kind of ironic to me and I really enjoyed this video because of that.
this is one of the many ARGS that i heavily enjoyed as it explains real life problems, it digs deeper into the depth of society and different stages of anxiety, depression, mental break downs, panic attacks, and of courses... *addiction.*
Its kinda crazy that this Minecraft ARG became about overcoming addiction, and showing the side effects in a respectful way
If its truly over, this has been a wild ride
I so desperately want you to interview him about this. It’s such a well made ARG! I’m so fucking curious about his thoughts about how it ended up, the filming of it, etc.
My mind is blown at how incredibly intricate this ARG is. What a legend Legend is for this dedication! - and your narration and commentary added that extra spice. :)
The true decent into “madness” is something I can really relate to sadly I had what I can only describe as a “mania episode” cupple years ago,still working on my bipolar disorder diagnosis,losing freinds leading you to be alone with your thoughts and at some point believing there’s no “going back” shit is scary but not talked about enough,love this
All I can say is... this... this brought me *back.* I remember back years ago when I used to spend day after day watching Minecraft creepypastas, ARGs, and other things of the sort. When I saw this in my recommended, I knew I was in for a treat. And that's not even to mention how good this ARG actually is! I simply must say, bravo.
This was absolutely AMAZING, I can't believe I just now found this video.. His acting, and the fact he even dove into addiction and how hard it is, and how much of a struggle it is to get yourself out, was just. Mwah, chefs kiss oh my god!!
From what he was experiencing throughout this entire ARG, really sounded like drug induced paranoid schizophrenia. And I have had my fair share of people in my life that have had this happen. The complete personality change, the change in tone, the complete OBSESSION, with the moon, and how fearful he was that someone, or anything was coming for him, to the point where he would RISK his own life just to see, if anything was true, or if anything was really coming for him..
I absolutely adored the writings he did, i genuinely wish he did more of them, because oh my goodness, those really helped us dive deeper into his mind, and really helped us see the complete personality change from who he was before, and it helped symbolize the way he thinks, and the way he sees. The art, the poetry that he wrote down, was truly amazing, and really put into detail how detrimental addiction is, and how fast the side effects really can be to many people. How it can push away family, and how it can take over in an instant, and im so happy he showed how difficult it was to come to terms, and realize that it wasn't okay.
And the fact that someone came to him, trying to seek out something good through his videos, and telling him about the "monster" in his video, truly shook me when it just drove him into an even DEEPER psychosis.
This was a beautiful representation of addiction, and how hard it can hit you, change your life, and how it's so hard to recover.

This arg reminds me of House Of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski! Specifically the journal entries. Idk if this was intentional by the creator or not, but either way very well done, I really enjoyed it! :)
I like when these stories ,webseries and ARGs include the Moon as a main plot point, because for a person like me that has an innate phobia of the satellite it makes the thrills that much better.

Though, another thing I think it perfectly encapsulates is the feeling of losing your mind or at least witnessing someone doing so. Addiction and failing mental health are honestly very hard to not only face, but recognize in yourself. I speak from experience with the failing mental health as a while ago I was literally losing my mind. It starts with one thing that seems so far away, until it becomes so normal for you when it shouldn't be at all. You start to ruminate on only it until it devours all your waking hours.
And as someone who has had to get help multiple times in their life, one of the scariest things is saying something is wrong and trying something new. The fear of the unknown, which the unknown for me is getting better, always scared me from getting better so sometimes I would relapse from getting better and I would end up getting worse. For me, staying in something that was so toxic and literally killing me felt safer than anything else, but we need a push and people beside us that will stay with us through it.
Personally... I found this ARG terrifying because it reminded me of helping people who needed help like I do, and those many times I needed help. It feels like the darkest ocean, yet despite that, it feels so familiar. It's amazingly crafted.
Someone should make a horror game out of this
Good idea.
Beware, after the clock strikes midnight, unspeakable horrors come alive. With an eye on your clock and the other on the moon, escape from this desolate land. As the nights go on, it slowly gets longer and longer... The more you stare at the moon, the more you can’t get your eyes off it. So remember, don’t look at the moon.
i love youtubers who don't beg for you to subscribe they just tell you to enjoy the video, a rare sight around this timeframe in 2024 where basically every popular video is skibidi toilet brainrot or people begging for subscribers, thanks RT60! :D
I saw the thumbnail and had a dream about this.
The dream was that when you did look at the moon, all monster spawns would be replaced with angry and very strong enderman. It was pretty scary to say the least.
First time seeing a video from this channel, while this is pretty interesting to learn about, I couldn’t help but acknowledge RT60’s energy. He sounds like such a chill guy and unlike many other UA-camrs I’ve watched he actually sounds like a real person you’d meet and be friends with. Great video.
I don't think I've ever genuinely enjoyed an outro as much as yours. Dude, its such a vibe!!!!
This the def of a scientist doing a series of experiments and test, writing them all down except they’re the test subject
there were a few scientists that did put themselves into experiments.
This could be a good horror movie, when the main character is suspecting something from their studies to the point that they become the monster of the story...
I love Minecraft ARGs. The thought of turning a silly block game into something scary is amazing. It's so silly and creative, exactly what Minecraft wants it's players to be.
Unironically this ARG goes hard and is a great analogy for addiction and how it can ruin your life without you realizing.
14:50 bro that friend came in clutch fr
I’m starting my own ARG, inspired by don’t look at the moon, but it’s called HERE COMES THE SUN. I started a subreddit, I’ll start posting there soon.
This is way more well done than any creepy pasta ever done😅
brooo the way you narrate the texts is just gold that put chills down my spine and its only just the half of the video goddam bro keep the good job up man dang
i honestly rly enjoyed the voice acting and your narration, i listen to videos when im at work so it made it super easy to understand what was going on without looking at the screen
Great video! I'm glad Legendfinder is feeling better after all that. I really enjoyed your other video about this arg and I’m glad you came back with this topic.
Also I accidentally looked at the moon in this and I hope I’m not cursed or anything
5:46 Take THAT minecraft- my personal highlight
I love how you say dont look at the moon at the end, yet the moon is one of my most favorite things in the world and whenever i get the chance i stare at it.
(Doesnt the end remind you of, dont mine at night? Just me? Okay..)
Tbh you did REALLY good RT like DAMN. The editing and voice acting mixed together in this lovely soup that when tasted gives me ALL of the right shivers down my spine
That probably made no sense but the gist is
I think that this kinda video was stupid cool and as a new subscriber from the gumball videos would love to see more of :>
23:26
Bro was trying to awaken his stand MADE IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!
The moment he said “all I want is that you enjoy the video” I liked and subscribed.
21:48 did anyone else hear him tase himself just for coughing or was it just me?
Hmm..your right...
