CSOTD! Ummm. Thinking about Lincoln ‘Boss’ M. Kicks Li-Wilson etc. tonight. What else is new

I could write for a very long time about the Wilson family and the divide between childhood and adulthood etc., but I think it’s an especially big motif for Lincoln. He really was never young.

Even as a baby, I’m sure he had some kind of physical trauma from nearly being trampled on a sinking ship, and from being separated from his mother so suddenly, and from being unadjusted to the food and water and air and perpetual darkness of the 2040s. Kids don’t consciously remember trauma that happened to them as babies, but they can still have reactions for years, never understanding why they’re so upset.

Growing up, he was almost exclusively surrounded by adults. Outside of video games and soccer (Grant’s hobbies), everything else he did for fun was with his parents or his grandparents or their adult friends (trains, bridge, dance, probably others I’m forgetting). But at the same time, his helicopter dads treated him like he was even younger than he was: like their trick-or-treating costumes lol, plus a million other examples I can’t be bothered to list rn. Not sure how much of that was because they wanted to keep him safe and how much was because they wanted to do encourage him to do whatever he wanted to do, which were often childish things. I’d like to believe it was mostly the latter (and obviously they had good intentions with the former; it just ended up being overbearing, etc.) Idk dog this isn’t a treatise on the Li-Wilsons. I’m just writing of my silly song posts dog. (I’ll probably write the aforementioned treatise someday though lol, but @//babacontainsmultitudes wrote a really good one a few weeks ago)

And of course the simulation. He’s already lived a full adult life. I feel like we forget how early in the season that was, too! Literally S2E2! He didn’t change much externally after that episode, but I can only imagine what he was going through internally after that. And then Tony Pepperoni’s death. The parallels to Grant’s ‘becoming a man’ with the chimera in S1. Urgh

Okay this is getting incoherent now and I have a stomach ache and have to edit this essay but. Yeah ^_^ Good Link song LMAOO

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

"The best part of being fat is being soft and comfy to cuddle with" "The best part of being fat is knowing people like you for your personality and not your looks" Wrong. The best part of being fat is getting to swim in ice-cold water for FAR longer than my peers. My skinny friends can barely last 10 minutes in the pacific ocean without losing feeling in their fingers meanwhile i can be in there for HOURS. I was born to swim in glacial lakes and icemelt streams. Also I float.
