A TikTok video by user @mrkurtwise, who plays all characters. As Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody” plays, both the Players (embodied as one person) and the DM lipsync to the lyrics that are (or aren’t) playing as the actual questions are asked via the captions. The perspective switches back and forth between the DM and the Players:
Players: So we defeated all the enemies? [“Am I original?”]
DM: “Yeaaa-ah” (in time with the song)
Players: And were the only ones here? [“Am I the only one?”]
DM: “Yeaaa-ah” (in time with the song)
Players: So were out of combat right? [“Am I sexual?”]
DM: [smiles without saying anything, head bopping. No lyrics play.]
Players: [stares, brow furrowed, looks around frantically] “So were out of combat. right?” [“Am I sexual?” replays]
DM: [smiles widely while rolling dice, still not saying anything. No lyrics play.]
Players: [stares, distressed and hesitant] “We’re out of-” [“Am I se-?” The lyric starts to replay but is cut off.]
DM: [zoom on DM, bopping hard] What’s your AC? [“Everybody-!”]
Players: [wailing, clenching their character sheet, throwing their hands up in distress] [“Yeaaa-ah”]

I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you can’t draw, there are coloring books. If you can’t write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you can’t sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.
