I think you perfectly described why I have such an issue with monsters being in liminal spaces/backrooms. These places feel like a checkpoint, made just for me. A safety blanket that I want to be in forever. That kind of comfort is ruined with having monsters wandering around.
That being said, there is a way to make liminal spaces scary. Use the emptiness as a way to build anxiety. A creeping feeling that someone is invading your save space but never show a physical body. Liminal spaces should all be about feelings you feel rather then the things that are in there

Dude, liminal spaces make me so comfortable. I wish I had one I could just rest in whenever I want. They just feel so peaceful, no people, no stress, just you and your thoughts.

“…you will wait forever trying to avoid the worst while missing the best parts of life.” “Please remember this loneliness is a waiting room. Not your destiny.”

You made two incredible points in the last two minutes of your video.

To us all, be well out there. You aren’t alone, even if it feels like it, even if we can never commiserate or talk about it, and I hope that gets you to the next stop on your journey.

Liminal images aren’t necessarily nostalgic because you know you’ve been to one of those places before, you feel nostalgic because you’ve felt that feeling again of being small and alone back when you were younger and more vulnerable. I’m not American and most of those images aren’t familiar in a way that I’ve seen them in person before but they still feel nostalgic to me. Now I know why. I think this is the best study about liminal spaces I’ve come across so far. Thank you algorithm.

If you look at photos of Chornobyl now the town itself and the surrounding area is considered uninhabitable because of high levels of radiation (30 and something years after the tragedy) it looks fine. Grass stands tall, plenty of animals (most of which have no visible mutations), decaying buldings. You know it's unsafe because of radiation but it doesn't look that way. That's when I feel feeling you described in this video.

Juno Moth, if you'd like a deeper perspective on your favorite Edwin Hopper painting... The facility the woman is sitting in is an automat (hence the name of the painting). Automats were restaurants that used a sort of vending machine arrangement to dispense food. There was no wait staff or other human interaction necessary. And the picture was painted just before the great depression, when a lot of people were working hard to keep the wheels of society turning.
I see this painting as a woman on her way home from somewhere late at night. She stops for a coffee but doesn't have the opportunity to make even the most superficial human contact.

To me liminal spaces are pictures of a time that can no longer be reached. The places used to be vibrant and full of people, and the emptiness symbolizes the unreachability. When something ceases to have people in it, it becomes an unreachable island. The 80s with its excitement and carefreeness no longer has people in it.

[robbybobbybobirwin]

You said it exactly. Everything these days is designed and has a purpose that sort of goes away when the people do. It’s the same thing when you’re a kid and you’ve woken up in the middle of the night and started exploring the house. Everyone is asleep. Unmoving. It’s just you and the house. During the day you share that house’s attention with others. But when it’s just you, the attention of the environment is just focused on you. This is why there is a sense of unease. The empty environment is a character of its own. The houses we haunt end up haunting us.

It's not the liminal spaces that are empty, but the busy chaos outside of it.

Congrats on another great vid. The crying moth girl animation is too much for my heart to take though.😢

as someone who fell in love for years with dreamcore/liminal spaces, would sleep with their playlists, have drew many arts & etc, i always found it unusual, my friends described my aesthetic as weirdo. i enjoyed loneliness and the key to it the whole time was liminal spaces dreamcore because it just have the privacy, freedom, aesthetic, vibic, and beautiful nostalgias that u can live with and enjoy every moment u have with it. and i can say, this video really motivated me for who i am. gave me another chance to live in my world and melted my heart with goosebumps. mwuah xoxo <3

Loneliness is one of the only issues that you can't solve on your own.

This was a good video, I found myself connected to many of the points made.


I don't want anyone to be alone, if you are reading this, and you find yourself lonely,
I will listen. I want to listen.

[dyaddisjunction]

That was a great message at the end. As someone who is also lost in their own head, it feels like i've been stuck forever.

Lonliness, abandonment, inability to forgive yourself for wasting so much time that you waste even more since it's all you feel you deserve. It's a dark and deep ocean to swim out of and one I hope to leave one day.

Good luck with your channel, this is the first I have seen from you and it was really good. I also started my channel as a way to put myself out there and express myself, even if only a little bit. It really does help.

[sillylittledrummer]

I didn’t expect to feel so seen by this video. My understanding of liminal spaces for myself has changed as a whole and I feel as if this is a genuine major stepping stone of my mental journey.

[Lordbeanflorp]

Welp it’s decided, liminal spaces are my new favorite form of modern art

[enigmaticallis]

That last part literally had me crying 😢😢😭😭
It reminded me of how desperately I cling to the past..and even though I try..its like even subconsciously I can't seem let go..😔😔

[EllietheQueerTheologian]

I expected this was going to be good (I mean, a Juno Moth vid about liminal spaces; what’s not to love?), but you absolutely hit it out of the park! I realised so much about liminal spaces and myself watching this, and especially the last section touched my heart more than I would ever be able to express. Thank you for being who you are, and sharing your brilliant, beautiful insights! Thank you!

[vikstar]

Loved this video. I’m not young. I’m 39, but I can relate to existential loneliness. I grew up with the internet and find internet culture like liminal spaces fascinating. Thanks for the great watch. Not sure how old you are. Not sure it matters. You’re an old soul.

I recently drove on a highway towards the capital of my country, and save for mine and a few other cars, this usually very busy stretch of roadway was completely empty. Add to that the morning fog that made the world look like it hadn't finished rendering yet, and the whole experience just felt so pleasantly surreal.
