Just wanted to stop and say thank you, Jacob, for the flawless captions on your videos! I'm partially deaf and really enjoy the video essay format, but a lot of creators don't use captions (and if they do, it's auto-generated which is often inaccurate and choppy / unnatural), so I REALLY appreciate the accessibility you bring to all of your videos :) I love your content, so thank you again!

The "ascension" bit is also very thematic in Hades. If you've finished the game you get similarly rewarded!

Turner's painting Mortlake Terrance ( 8:26 ) has a cutout of a dog that was pasted on it by another artist I order to sabotage him. On Varnishing Day, he simply incorporated the dog into the painting.

I'm reminded of reading how someone described the way Ghibli characters cry representing the way it feels to cry, not necessarily how it looks. Zelda, the Last Guardian, and impressionistic paintings play with light in ways that may not be literally visually accurate/realistic, but they are often emotionally accurate. The sunsets in Zelda are what sunsets feel like, they're what you imagine or remember a sunset looking like when you close your eyes. And tapping into that emotional accuracy can often times before more impactful or ressonant (at least personally) than technical accuracy.

Uh oh, Jacob uploaded again. Time to cry about the beauty, wonder, and deeper meaning to be found in a game I've never played

As someone who lives in the desert hellscape of Arizona, my relationship with the sun is very love-hate. Like, it's gorgeous sometimes, and it's a pretty big reason why life on this planet even exists; but also, it's a deadly laser and I can't go outside for more than 20 minutes at a time without risking getting a heatstroke.

I remember when I was a teenager, my school went caving in the Yorkshire dales. For those that donāt know, the dales are and expanse of vast, sweeping hills and rock strewn valleys. That day, I had spent hours underneath them, crawling in the wet and the dark, illuminated only by a pale blue torch. I remember we came upon a small pond in a cavern, the first area weād been in all day where we werenāt constricted in some way. We crawled up a narrow, rising passage way on the other side and I saw something that at first I couldnāt quite believe what I was seeing. It was a flower, burning red, growing under a crack of sunshine. In that moment, after hours of the dark, It was impossibly beautiful. It was only surpassed by what I saw after I scrambled up the rocks and pulled myself out of an inconspicuous hole in the middle of a field; the sky, the world, suddenly so much vaster and brighter than it ever was before, so bright it was like it was singing to me. My classmates just walked on like it was nothing. I wanted to grab them and cry out āDonāt you see it?!ā. I wanted to collapse to the ground and weep.
I didnāt though, I was 13 and I didnāt want to look weird. The feeling never left me though.

Holy crap, Joseph Mallard William Turner, I did a paper on him for art class. He has the most beautiful landscapes, glad to see him get unconventional attention

This video reminds of that one scene in Journey, you know which one I'm talking about. The sun absolutely engulfs you as well as every stone and sand in your vicinity, turning every inch of the world into different hues of gold. It lasts only a few seconds, but it feels longer because you're holding your breath till the very end. It is still one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a video game (I have yet to play the Last Guardian sadly).
Edit: yes, the sand surfing level

Iāve stared the sun as a child a lot. My eyesight isnāt very good now but it was very fun!

I remember one time playing totk, I hoverbiked up to the highest sky island in the game (directly above Lookout Landing) and stood there from sunset to sunrise thinking āGod this is stunningā. I only wish I couldāve been there in real life, with someone by my side.

Never in a million years did I expect Jacob to start talking about the history of Brazilian Art, something I've studied for quite literally my entire life. It's weirdly satisfying to see someone you admire talking about your home country, specially such integral- yet unknown- parts of it's history.

It's incredible how even a virtual sun can evoke a multitude of incredibly powerful emotions. Happiness, longing, rest, finality, empowerment and a great many other things

This video really reminds me, that Art is the conduit through which humans can see each other.

Man, I feel honored seeing you mention Tarsila's work here. My parents have one original painting from her in their living room and it's probably one the most beaufitul pieces of art I've seen personally till this day. Needless to say that the reaction of that dude is on par to what they were seeing. She was amazing and I appreciate that. Also, haircut is looking good!

If you've finished this video and need 30 more minutes of your life taken up by my ramblings, I highly recommend watching its companion video on Nebula. More sun talk, more impressionist thoughts, and at the end, there's a baked good! nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-making-impressionistā¦
