Do you ever hear a certain song that makes you reminisce about

>>48978853
Nope. But I'm an introvert with years of drama training and performance behind me, living in fantastical head worlds and exploring emotional states is kind of my job.

Just don't grasp for it, man. The harder you try to cling to a feeling the faster it'll skitter away. You have to just soak in it and let it pass, knowing that someday you WILL feel it again.

I find that scents can take me back to a memory or fantasy real fast. The scent of pines puts me back in Scouts and the make believe worlds we used to play in, the smell of loam and earth after a rain makes me imagine dark, primeval woods, heck someone smoking a Camel makes me think of Westerns on an old tube TV (thanks grandpa).

It doesn't have to be something that specific or hard to come by either. When I'm stuck in someplace shitty like LA that smells like hot garbage and desperate fear piss I cook something I relate to a specific memory or book. If you want to get hippy dippy with it, try putting a couple drops of an essential oil in some hot water, sit in a dimmed room, put on some of those 'certain songs', breath deep, and see where it takes you. If you want to get REALLY hippy dippy, smoke a jay first (imbibe responsibly).

But above all else, watch what you eat. You're a chemical being and overdoing sugar, caffeine, and the crazy fats you find in a lot of stuff nowadays can make holding on to the moment and recreating feelings really hard. I was a sugar/caffeine junkie pretty hardcore while I was doing work on stage, and it got to the point where it hurt my work. I just couldn't get to the emotional and mental place I needed to anymore.


TL;DR
No feeling is gone forever, duder, and feeding/wallowing in feelings of emptiness or existential angst is only useful as an occasional palate cleanser. You're a human, man. Enjoy the whole spectrum and realize that fantasy is a mindset, not a place. Peace, love, and all that jazz.

Why you gotta do that to me?

>>48978853
No.

Sucks to be you I guess.

>that feel when
>you'll never be 18 again, playing Chrono Cross on your friend's couch and drifting off knowing you have the rest of the summer to do nothing but hang out and play games
>and then you hear your kid and his friend playing it in the next room and smile to yourself

This makes me feel it for my own setting.

>>48980324
Isn't that just melancholy?

>>48981002
I guess? It's more like nostalgia, for a place you've never been. Maybe that's why we love fantasy so much.

Nehwon feels like home.

This song is about Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, two brothers by choice whose friendship and mutual understanding helped them overcome everything, from the earth rising up against them, to the fury of a forgotten god, to death itself:

7,000 souls scared and daunted, such a tale of woe. Not too long ago this village was a golden scene of hope...

Fuckin teared up hearin this shit.

Nostalgia you feel but dont remeber specificaly when triggered by a specific stimulus
is actualy your atman, the "higher self" remembering an event from one of your past incarnations

What's really fucking sweet about theese things it that the atman is not bound to this world only,
with all the vastness of existances in the universe its quite possible you actually were a few lifetimes ago
a part of a "fantasy" world

After all, all the ideas sci-fi and fantastic creatures must come from some place,
its actually the half-gone memories of a past life
