Apocalypse Aesthetic

Sunken

Recently I've been watching a show called Heavenly Delusion, excellence of plot and animation aside, I've been wondering how much of my enjoyment of it comes from the post-apocalypse vibes.

Thinking about the shows that I like – NGE, The Last of Us, Girl's Last Tour, and Heavenly Delusion, apocalypse elements do seem quite common. There was a period in my teenage years where I felt like apocalypses would be nice, and occasionally I catch myself feeling that way still (despite actively building “away” from apocalypse). This felt stronger recently for some reason, and I wonder if it's also been behind my recent interest in nomadding.

Maybe it's just a need to shake up things? Or perhaps magnesium will lead to some interesting changes? We'll see.
