  • Playing Minecraft with your friends is a lot of fun and is very memorable, but one day a player who thought he was playing Minecraft with his friends wasn't actually playing with them, in fact the friend they believed to be playing with wasn't real and slowly throughout the series AlexSpeaks finds out that this might be the case for him.

    I def feel like Matthew was what the player imagined as his old friends. he was lonely and he missed his old friends along with, obviously, not having any after moving. So, he manifested his friends back. Now, the reason I feel like it was his "old friends" was because Matthew knew that he stopped talking to them, at the end, when he meets Donny, the player is starting to forget Matthew since there's no use for him anymore and he started finding happiness. You can also see that he regrets his past because he types "do you ever wish you could've seen the future?" it shows that he regrets not speaking to his friends and wishes he could go back because he never knew he was going to move. at the end, the sign read: "dear friend, I can be better this time, goodbye." was a sign of grief and regret for ignoring and not talking to his old friends. It's basically a "it's hard to treasure what you have until you don't have it anymore." type situation. At the end, he moved on from his past and his old friends, accepting that they are gone and forgiving himself from his mistake and not doing it again. very sad and wholesome story, i did cry 😿😿

    Matthew is a friend that passed away, and blokwinz feels remorse because the last thing they did was argue over that house. That's their last memory, and they beat themselves up over it. That's how I see it. After all, the tribute to his friend that he wrote at the end really carries the feeling of saying goodbye to somebody you lost rather than some imaginary friend or somebody he just moved away from on bad terms. Matthew also telling him to "be nicer" and such, he's likely blaming himself for the last interaction of his friend alive going that way.

      honestly I like that. mostly because as far as I see, every time Nlokwinz talks about something positive Mathew disappears. and when Mathew disappears it could mean that Blokwinz is finding comfort or more happiness. Mathew acts like a subcountious for The player, he acts like a lil oice in his head, not a mean on, but a comforting one, it's like the thoughts of him that he refuses are himself, Find_Nulla acts like the memories and thoughts people hide away and block out in the mind. is like if that makes sense If it doesn't sorry. it's honestly cool, this video is cool.

Although, this last move (A little less than a year ago) was pretty rough. We gave away all three of our pets, and I lost the whole group of friends I had, even the online ones. All of that was in just less than 2 short weeks.

    This is a really cool story of remembering and making sense of your past. Its interesting to see the player coping with his past then making good of his problems in a healthy way. People could definitely learn from these videos. They teach a lot about trauma and difficulty coping. Especially the one moment where the player directly says "no" to being kind

    Another thing I noticed at 22:49, in the players POV, Nulla says the quote. In his friends POV, the player says the quote instead. I think that Matthew could also be himself. It could also explain why Matthew is seemingly trying to help, the player is trying to help himself get over the moving. Another thing it explains, is Matthew answering for the Player and comforting him. He’s just talking to himself like you said. Trying to make himself feel better. Like Matthew is himself, trying to make him look at the brighter side.

    And the feeling of watching this video really brought me somewhere. It's relatable. All of these theories in the comments, from Matthew's death to the player having previously moved away, you do wish you could turn back time. See the future. And maybe put a stop to it. It makes sense, and I understand it. Losing my friend, I wish I could have been closer to,, moving away from my home, I'm not going back. All of these are portrayed so perfectly, each individual emotion of denial, sadness, anger, and comfort. Yeah, this channel might be made for content purposes, but it still genuinely touches me. Good job.

  • @PhantomLacewing
    @PhantomLacewing 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +575

    As a writer I can try to explain what I think is going on here.
    Essentially the player is upset that he lost his friends and is stuck with his thoughts. Nulla represents those thoughts, a part of the player's mind that is trying to comfort him. Then Donnie comes along and is very friendly towards the player. The player is sceptical at first so Nulla tells him to be nicer and the player starts to adjust to having a friend again. I'm assuming the player has some trust issues due to whatever happened with his friends in the past but in the end he realizes that he's pushing away an opportunity and changes his mind, making friends with Donnie.
    Genuinely great story writing if you ask me.

      Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a mental health condition. If you're living with DID, it means you have two or more separate identities. These personalities control your behavior at different times. Each identity has its own personal history, traits, likes and dislikes. DID can lead to gaps in memory and hallucinations (believing something is real when it isn’t). so if you start to connect the dots, the player was a person sad that they moved out and lost all of their friends, thats why mathew was there, they're just a seperate personality our player has from the trauma of whatever happened to their friend, and thats why mathew said thanks to their own compliment, our player was saying that, but its just a mistake in their personality, its just having did, thinking of a friend, and thats why mathew starts to disappear as our player finds a new friend, our player begins to finally cope, and let their old past go, these video footages are the perfect explanations to how systems(people with did) really are like, and i found it geniuenely a beatiful way to raise awareness of it.

    Surprised nobody has mentioned this, but the username “Donnie Darko” isn’t just a random name. It’s actually the title of a film where the main character of the same name is constantly haunted by apparitions of a man in a white rabbit costume who had been recently killed (technically. There’s some time stuff that makes it so the apparition exists before the man actually dies but that doesn’t seem to be the part that’s important to the reference, though maybe there’s some significance in that given they mention time a lot with stuff like the first video asking if you wish things were how they used to be)
    I feel like this obviously relates to the situation, where our main character is haunted by these sometimes ghostly looking visions of a friend of theirs with a white Minecraft skin. The main difference is the kid in the video named Darko isn’t the one haunted, he’s on the sidelines watching his friend being haunted, which I feel adds onto the theory that Matthew is actually dead due to him best fitting the rabbit apparition I mentioned

      It's one of those genres where it's hidden as x. but is actually a psychological horror.
      Like for example, you play a story game and it turns into a literal psychological horror with a really terrible ending and a deep message.

    Small little detail: at 22:49, Matthew says "and I just cant wake up" but at 23:42, its actually AlexSpeaks, blokwinz, or most commonly referred to in this video as the player, who says "and i just cant wake up." I'm assuming this continues on as Matthew keeps speaking to Alex, but the messages instead are shown to be typed by Alex. This is very confusing as only Alex can see and talk with Matthew. I believe that during this time, Alex is in a state of somniloquy, or sleep talking. When Donny mentions using a dairy to write down his thoughts, we obviously see that from Alex's perspective, he looks at Matthew and Matthew looks at Alex. Matthew is definitely some kind of imaginary diary that Alex uses since for all of the videos before he meets Donny, he speaks in a morbid way, talking about how his friends may already be "dead" or comparing moving as "the world ending to some nuclear apocalypse." As explained in the video, when Alex meets Donny, Matthew starts to fade as Alex starts to get to know and learn more about Donny. This represents that Alex is starting to feel comfortable around Donny and is starting to talk less to Matthew, as if he's starting to talk less to his imaginary diary. After a bit of time, on the final episode, Matthew looks at Alex as if urging him to let go of him. Alex hesitates for a moment but then gives into reality as he's now friends with Donny and finally lets go of Matthew. Honestly, its a common story as moving is a difficult time for you as you lose contact with old friends and are hesitant to make new friends since you're not familiar with the new place, but the way it was executed was amazing. It was simple but effective.
    ts was just me yapping and possibly overanalyzing but still tho it was an amazing story

In Alex's video, Matthew types, "And I just can't wake up." but in Donny's video it is Alex who says that which further proves my theory. Truly a mastermind.

  • @sharpstealz858
    @sharpstealz858 6 วันที่ผ่านมา +621

    I love these allegories and symbolism they're hinting towards here:
    There's a very clear "Plato's Cave" allegory shown throughout, where the main player would be constantly inside of a tunnel beneath the surface, hinting towards their fear of going out and making friends / new experiences in a new environment. Matthew could symbolize player's inner thoughts slowly drowning them out, especially when the player is stuck within the dark cube or when Matthew starts personally attacking them through in-game chat. I'd say Matthew disappearing could symbolize the player's overcoming of the mentioned fear. Player leaves his tunnel out into the surface afterwards almost like stepping out of a dark cave into the light.
    This one might be a reach, but staring at growing crops and constantly trying to make a farm hints towards the player wanting to fit in and adapt. In the first attempt of him making a farm, they plant down 2 seeds, as opposed to 6 seeds in his last episode, symbolizing that the player is getting used to the newer environment or / and growing as a person.
    Building a fence around their home might hint towards the player feeling isolated due to them pushing back their friends and moving to a new place. When you think about it, the main player hasn't really left the fenced home, rather travelling trough tunnels from that place, spying on his friend almost like peaking into the new surroundings. In the last episode he is visibly out of the fence, almost like leaving his isolation and experiencing new things, symbolized by making a treehouse for instance.
    Also, pretty sure the Minecraft world symbolizes the new environment itself. It would fit in perfectly, as Michael appears in the world cause it is the only thing the player is left with - his inner thoughts. Every other symbolism I've listed would also match perfectly. The weather to emotion correlation, as listed in the video, would make a lot of sense as well, as the raining weather in this new environment could hint towards the player feeling depressed.
    These small details add so much when you take into consideration that this ARG is based on a lot of symbolism right off the bat, spicing things up, almost like it's like a puzzle piece, I love it.

    Matthew is the ghost of his friends and who he was. Not the literal ghost, but the ghost of their friendship. He's the ghost of what our player perspective wanted from his friends at home speaking of both how the player feels as well as how his old friends felt. It's the amalgamation of abandonment and lost hope that brought him to where he is. It's not just a story of separation, but the story of betrayal and abandonment. He could be what he wanted, when they initially met, but turned into something just way more saddening. I can't even explain the feeling, but I can feel it, and that's what hurts the most about this story.

It could represent a split personality made as a coping mechanism slowly fusing with Blokwins due to his dying need to cope. With that message his friendship with donnie has become something more than what "matthew" was to him. In doing this it wholeheartedly represents the moving on of Blokwins and a new beginning for him where he can now live without that very coping mechanism.

    you know when you miss your friends when they move or you move. you might have depression and also imagine a friend that doesn't exist because you are sad. and this is a good example of that. all I wanna say is. Matthew is a good friend. and we should be like him towards our friends even if he isn't real.

    At 23:07 you can see a crit recharge bar appear when the crosshair is pointed towards where Matthew is. This bar only appears when pointed towards entities. Matthew is actually present there but is actually fully invisible when compared to Alex speaks's POV.

    Also work noting that the movie “donny darko” is a thriller all about time loops, the passage of time, free will and all that jazz, and in this ARG one of the players is donnydark0. And the POV player talks about turning back time quite a lot. There’s something to read into there.

    Matthew is himself, and the reason he is saying his friends could be dead or something is that he moved so far away that he probably wont even see or hear from them, and if they did die he would never know, and I think the reason we can see matthews pov while he chops down the trees is cause that's the way he sees himself, as a loner, outsider or someone who doesn't fit

    The Pov of Matthew could be what the player thinks of from another perspective but its kinda unlikely tho,it could have a deeper meaning since this strange psychological serious of videos represent moving on from the past,it also represents adapting to a new environment which people who just ended something in a past at bad terms could be hard to thing to do, especially when its unfamiliar

    if you look at the time 13:15 in the bottom right corner you can see Matthew and when blokwinz looks back Matthew isn't there as the video plays he just suddenly appears into the house. even if you go to the real video at 21 seconds you can see Matthew in the bottom right corner and he just some how gets into the house.

  • @bonsaissecretalt
    @bonsaissecretalt 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +30

    a better theory I have is that Matthew is just a friend who died
    thats why Alex mentions death all the time. it would also make the last sign EXTREMELY disturbing.
    the when Donny comes around, Alex gets a real friend and Matt starts to fade away meaning Alex starts getting over him

    As someone who struggles with severe depression and anxiety this is very reminiscent of something that happened to me. For a few years in my early 20s i was in a very dark place. I was going through court stuff on top of becoming homeless and living in a camper. I never had thoughts of hurting others, but i did frequently have thoughts of hurting myself (thankfully i never did). At times it would get to the point id close my eyes and see my body laying in a morgue. I guess to combat this, my mind created an alternate personality who was aptly named after an original character of mine called Void. To deal with the stress and trauma, i would turn to void who would take over my actions and stop me from doing anything bad. One day he eventually disappeared as my life situation improved. And i feel this needs to be said, if anyone is having thoughts of harming themselves. They need to speak out to someone they trust or call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. The dark may be comforting at first, but it wont always do whats right for you ❤

    This all feels like symbolism and a metaphor for eventually finding your happiness and moving on from the past. The conversations between Alex and Mathew seem to be a way for Alex to work on his personal problems and letting go. And when Donnie comes into Alex's life, Mathew starts fading away and eventually disappearing because he no longer needs Mathew since he's now in a better place and state of mind. Heck, I even interpret the short clip of where we get Mathew's perspective of Alex is actually Alex reflecting on himself and that he needs to chance for the better. (That might be why Donnie shows up in the videos not too long after) That's also probably why the last video ends wholesomly with Alex helping Donnie with building a treehouse and Mathew officially gone shows that Alex has finally moved of from the past with a new friend.

    As someone who recently moved for the first time, this one honestly hits different. The move didn’t go well, literally the day we moved to the house we had to immediately rush one of our two cats to the hospital and sadly had to put him down, it truly felt like I had lost a family member. It’s been almost a year now but I still find myself looking for him or thinking I see him out of the corner of my eye. Matthew in a way reminds me of how Biscuit appears in my dreams and comforts me. Biscuit was one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever had, and I’m thankful he chose us to adopt him. Best 5 years of my life, I miss him every day. It will take a while but I hope I can eventually move on

      I can relate to this a lot. been through several moves in my lifetime, but a similar thing happened after one of the moves where our family cat started getting sick and we had to put him down not long after. losing a pet is.... insanely difficult to process, so I fully understand how you feel. but speaking from experience, it does eventually get easier as time goes on. it still sometimes hurts to think about of course (even years later), but the pain doesn't linger on the daily anymore.
      I'm sure you'll get there eventually, but as of right now it's okay to allow yourself to grieve. healing takes time - even if it's hard. wishing the best for you. take care

      Move on, but dont leave it behind. It's okay to miss, to mourn, to still see him from time to time. It'll take a long, long time, trust me, but you'll heal. Just, keep him in memory. I'm sure he'll be waiting for you on the other side. Allow yourself room to grieve, and to patch yourself up, and to not forget about him.
      Wishing you the best.

    I feel like this is almost certainly some kind of film project that alex made, because almost everything in the videos can be explained (how matthew is only visible to alex, it's nothing new and can be done with server plugins) but I'm honestly just impressed. The reference to donnie darko (a movie with as many mysteries as this series, where donnie is friends with a person that isn't real) support my theory even more. I wouldn't be surprised if alex became a writer or director or something in the future.

    At 28:57 when Render says that he looked up the meaning of "nulla" a few weeks ago, and the fact that he makes this video while this whole series is still taking place, goes to show that Render is actually the one behind the whole Alex/Nulla thing.
