Hi guys! Thank you for all the support on this channel! I wanted to let you all know that I am creating a second channel called @Delrevlogs! Where I will be posting tattoo and travel content! Please check it out if you are interested!
Ian talked about the higher power recently in one of his instagram live, calling it 'The Hybrid'. That Limbo is the product of The Hybrid. Also, he said we'll get to know it's name in his next EP (if I understood everything correctly)
Discovered DPR IAN a week ago and was really confused by the existing of the lore itself. So thank you for your videos, they helped a bit to understand wtf is going on. Still confused, but at least have some info to think about at sleepless nights :D
Ian said that the graveyard insanity woke up in don't go insane is Calico. And that only mr insanity can see the butterflies(he said that this can be a spolier).
Stuff not being exactly chronological even within music videos tracks with me as while I don’t have DID, I do have dissociate maladaptive daydreams as a coping mechanism and occasionally it’s one chronological of ‘plot’ (for lack of a better word) within the larger ongoing universe that’s been going on in my mind most of my life. usually it’s more like darting between different parts of the plot for different kinds of stress and they bleed into each other and shift over time. Like in “don’t go insane” he’s the werewolf and zombie version of mr insanity at the same time even though they’re clearly at different points in the characters arc and it’s not just cutting between. elements and moves are bleeding between them. Ian says Mr Insanity was fronting for some of the werewolf shot so that sort of explains the change in vibe but it was still choreographed and costumed before hand so I’ll count it as feasibly intentional.
Thank you for this video and I can't wait for more stunning works from him. Ian really knows how to channel his personal stories into artwork. Also Ian did mention recently that Limbo and Skins are going to be released in his next EP about a hybrid, so I love your take on Limbo being a place between heaven and hell actually makes so much sense.
Wait so Ian's subconscious, after a trauma, created Mr.Insanity aka the clown god, who instead created the other side and Mito, the Scaredy Cat and other creations we don't know yet, right? But if it's Ian who created Mr.Insanity and not the opposite, why Mito (who is after Mr.Insanity's creations) is after Ian too?
Thank you very much for these videos. I want to paint some paintings inspired by DPR IAN, but first I want to understand this world he created. So everything is very helpful. At first I thought it was mostly about depressive episodes and mania, but it's much more complicated than that though. Can you recommend me some interviews where he talks about his songs and the world he created?
Ooo that’s a good question! I think the say what interview and Zach Sang ones are really good, but also his instagram lives are very informative too and there’s a lot of people who reupload them on TH-cam! Id love to see your artwork! Do you post on social media like instagram?
I’m a bit confused here, if while insanity is planning the heist and mito is recreating the wizard of oz and ian was kidnapped and left in that house, did insanity kidnap him beforehand😭😅?? my brain just went to restart
Hello, your theories are so great and very helpful. I have these theories, too. In 'So I dance" MV, we saw Mr. Green and Mr. Insanity running away from Mito and going towards the door. We never see them reach the door in the MV, and we can see that Mito's smoke (power) is near them. As Mito said in one of his MV, "You created me in your image and now its time create mine in yours." So I think, when they get into that door, it's the born of "The Hybrid". We can see that in 'Don't Go Insane', while Mr. Insanity singing the part "Why don't you wanna stay? You just wanna trip me out." Mito's smoke is trying to take over on Mr. Insanity's Body. And I think that Mr. Insanity is trying to tell Mito to stay on 'The Other Side' and don't ruin his Creation. Mr. Insanity, is changing his looks as you said. He's more like Clown before and now into something Mix of Clown and Mito's face. The cross in Mr. Insanity face is white before and now turned into red. And as the time pass by, instead of not going insane, he went more insane. As Christian said before that the title 'Don't Go Insane" is actually the opposite of the lyrics of the entire song. At the end of the song, we saw a new character, which is I think the Face of 'The Hybrid'.
also, you said that Mito's color is Black and White. The color of 'The Hybrid' (the character based on my theory) is a checkered of black and white, while his face looks like Mr. Insanity. Also the laser which Mr. Insanity has and which he emphasizes on Bad Cold Lyrics, "My lasers ready to blow". Mito also have it, and so 'The Hybrid' as well. The ending, we can see that 'The Hybrid' (I think based on my theory) pointed to the camera and then the laser came out to his hand, then we switch to a scene where Mr. Insanity is, inside the train and being the one who got pointed out by those lasers.
This is me, I was using my mom's account yesterday LOL So yeah, about the next album of Ian. He posted before a picture of Mito (Probably a spoiler about The Hybrid) There is a possibility that the next album will focus on how Mito lost his eyes or we're gonna go deep about Mito's story on how he became a falling angel
Hi! First, I loved your two videos about the whole lore, it really helped me notice some things I hadn’t before (since I’m a new Dreamer!) I do wanna ask you something though! Has Ian ever mentioned that the Clown God is Mr. Insanity or is that your interpretation? Because what’s making me confused is.. in Don’t Go Insane/so I Danced, we see Ian starting to become more and more insane, therefore the name “Mr. insanity” for the character, but we know that at the same time MITO already exists, right? Since he is trying to go after Insanity to stop him from opening more doors. So how could Mr. Insanity have been the creator of the universe (or the “Clown God”, that Ian has mentioned)?? Timeline wise it doesn’t make sense to me 😭 I always interpreted the Clown God as the creator of the universe, and of MITO (before MITO became jealous and flew too close to the sun/sky and then fell and became the fallen angel we see him now as.), and then, only later in the storyline, that Mr. Insanity is introduced, as a representation of Ian’s manic highs. So I would like to know how you would explain, in your interpretation, how can Mr. insanity and the clown god who created MITO be the same entity/“person”? I’m really curious to understand your thoughts 🥹 /gen (P.S. sorry for such a long comment omg 😭 I struggle to explain my point without writing too much 😭)
thanks for commenting that! i'm also a new dreamer and i am very confused about this as well (and you did a very great job explaining your thoughts btw) hope we'll get to understand more of the lore in the upcoming MVs / album 🙏
Hi! Yes Ian had said that Mr. Insanity is the Clown God in many instances especially on his instagram lives. There is a possibility that he changed this part of the lore to match the story better since the first era. But yes at least in the first era Mr. Insanity was clarified as the clown god by Ian. In Don’t go insane and So I danced it’s Mr. Insanity/the clown god becoming more insane (not ian). Ian’s subconscious created Mr. Insanity when he was a child, but every time Mr. Insanity goes through a door of consciousness he loses his memory. I’m not sure if Mr. Insanity is technically the “creator” or “higher power” in this universe since it came from Ian’s subconscious. We do know from the Mito movie that Mr.Insanity/the clown god created Mito though. I’m thinking maybe because Mr.insanity opens that door (and not mito) Mito is able to keep his memories. Thank you for your comment! I hope this helps a little or help you form your own interpretations!
@@yellauwwthank you so much for your comment too 🥺 i’m glad i wasn’t the only one confused about this hahah but yes! i’m sure in the future we will get way more insight on the creation of this universe and of MITO (and know more about Mr. Insanity too)! ❤️
@@delreverse6163hii! thank you so much for answering 🥹 and yes! I believe Ian might have changed some stuff or we honestly haven’t seen half of the whole universe yet hahah I feel like there is so much more to come that will help us understand it better! and yes, I understood what you said! maybe it does have to do as well with forgetting previous things as he goes through the doors (talking about Mr. Insanity here). also!! doing some research i saw someone made a tweet on June 3rd, 2023 saying that on June 2nd Ian did a twitter space and there he clarified that before Insanity became insane he was Ian himself, and that’s when he started creating the “creations”, so maybe the creator of the universe itself is Ian after all. and it would make sense since the whole universe/lore is based on Ian’s experiences and disorders. (I still have to search to see if someone recorded this twitter space, but yeah, just quoting here what I saw a dreamer tweet about 🥹) anyways, sorry for a long comment again omg but thank you for replying and taking your time to understand what I was trying to say 🥹❤️
But seriously, you said that Mr. Insanity doesn't remember his creation 'Mito' since he made a lot of creation. What if, all this time, Mr. Insanity, coming from his name is the Insane like super Insane? We heard his lyrics on Don't Go Insane MV, the last part one "I've waited endlessly all night, looking up at all the fireflies in the sky. I've made it carefully to your side, that's when the lights turned and you were just a lie." You said that Mr. Insanity is the only one who see the butterflies, and maybe the fireflies. All of his creation is just his hallucinations
I’d like to know why you think Insanity is the Clown God. Has Christian mentioned that in any of his videos or lives? I know that Insanity becomes more clown-like the deeper he dives into Ian’s subconscious but he doesn’t seem like the creator of the universe. He seems more like an explorer of it. Also, Christian mentioned in the Say What interview that Insanity came before Mito, which I think can be interpreted as after a manic high (Insanity), a low (Mito) is around the corner; or that in order for Mito to come into full existence, Insanity needs to go on his adventure. He also mentioned that Mito is trying to stop Insanity from opening too many doors in Ian’s subconscious because he’s worried about what he’ll find, so I don’t think Mito is manipulating Insanity’s actions. Like you said, Insanity doesn’t think about the consequences of his actions and is willing to push the limits of his (and Ian’s) sanity to find something or just go on what I think is a pretty fun adventure lol, and maybe all Mito is trying to do is stop him. I like that you brought in the idea of time not being lineal and parallel timelines in this world because as I mentioned, Yu has said that Insanity comes before Mito, so seeing Mito in So I Danced always confuses me because it feels like he shouldn’t be there in that timeline and he just travelled back in time to stop him from going too far. But that’s just my head canon.
Hi! Yes lan had said that Mr. Insanity is the Clown God in many instances especially on his instagram lives. There is a possibility that he changed this part of the lore to match the story better since the first era. But yes at least in the first era Mr. Insanity was clarified as the clown god by lan. lan's subconscious created Mr. Insanity when he was a child, but every time Mr. Insanity goes through a door of consciousness he loses his memory. I'm not sure if Mr. Insanity is technically the "creator" or "higher power" in this universe since it came from lan's subconscious. We do know from the Mito movie that Mr. Insanity/the clown god created Mito though. I'm thinking maybe because Mr.insanity opens that door (and not mito) Mito is able to keep his memories. I like how you said how after a manic high like mr. Insanity there’s the low mito is right behind him. The reason I think that Mito was manipulating Mr. Insanity to go to the bank was because of the crow that sent them for the key and mito has been very crow like especially in the first era. But everyone has their own valid interpretations so I love seeing everyone’s comments and how we all the the lore differently!

Discovered DPR IAN a week ago and was really confused by the existing of the lore itself. So thank you for your videos, they helped a bit to understand wtf is going on. Still confused, but at least have some info to think about at sleepless nights :D
Ian said that the graveyard insanity woke up in don't go insane is Calico. And that only mr insanity can see the butterflies(he said that this can be a spolier).
Stuff not being exactly chronological even within music videos tracks with me as while I don’t have DID, I do have dissociate maladaptive daydreams as a coping mechanism and occasionally it’s one chronological of ‘plot’ (for lack of a better word) within the larger ongoing universe that’s been going on in my mind most of my life.
usually it’s more like darting between different parts of the plot for different kinds of stress and they bleed into each other and shift over time.
Like in “don’t go insane” he’s the werewolf and zombie version of mr insanity at the same time even though they’re clearly at different points in the characters arc and it’s not just cutting between. elements and moves are bleeding between them. Ian says Mr Insanity was fronting for some of the werewolf shot so that sort of explains the change in vibe but it was still choreographed and costumed before hand so I’ll count it as feasibly intentional.
Thank you for this video and I can't wait for more stunning works from him. Ian really knows how to channel his personal stories into artwork. Also Ian did mention recently that Limbo and Skins are going to be released in his next EP about a hybrid, so I love your take on Limbo being a place between heaven and hell actually makes so much sense.
Thank you for the support 🫶 I can’t wait to see this new EP!
“After recreating the Fast and Furious” you’re so funny.😭
Thank you ! It helped me so much !
Godd i love this fandom ✨
Im new to dpr ian and his lore so this was really informative and helpful thank you so much🥺💗
Thank you for the support! 🫶
Wait so Ian's subconscious, after a trauma, created Mr.Insanity aka the clown god, who instead created the other side and Mito, the Scaredy Cat and other creations we don't know yet, right?

I’m a bit confused here, if while insanity is planning the heist and mito is recreating the wizard of oz and ian was kidnapped and left in that house, did insanity kidnap him beforehand😭😅?? my brain just went to restart
Oooo that’s a good question. Maybe that means it wasn’t insanity who kidnapped Ian or maybe like you said he did it before planning the heist 🤔🤔🤔
thank u i was wating for this video❤
Thank you for waiting! 💕
Thanks for sharing all your thoughts. Really insightful exploration of Christian's story and art
