#HIM AND HIS FEAR OF FORGETTING....

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.
#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#isat siffrin#isat mal du pays#isat fanart#my art#in stars and time spoilers#isat headcanon#not done yapping: like you meet mdp at a point where the Big Problem is the loops and siffrin's fear of being abandonned by the party#and then Mal du Pays shows up and it hits you#thats the core of every fucking issue Siffrin has#his country and how it fucked everything for him#his bad memory making him forget too much and making him feel like a horrible friend and making him think that surely#hell also be forgotten#because hes a bad friend and a mess and is missing half of his fucking life#he holds onto the party with everything he has but also feels an infinite amount of shame about it because Hes A Bad Friend#hea so scared to forget whats important to him just like he forgot his past#just#ough

#anya mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#art#//#spoilers#image lyrics: pressed - alvvays#top left refers to anyas trouble sleeping and inability to share what shes going through with anyone. also quilt stitching. curious#nobody can hear you scream in space and all you can do when your planes going down is try to breathe#daisuke my beloved youre surrounded by people who kept letting you down. then back up as a saintlike character in death. you must be dizzy#but wait. newspaper clippings in the background theyre totalllly talking about you dude. look theres streamers and foam and everything#on heavily overexposed film all you can make out are the darkest parts . or it could become a beautiful nuanced grey. isnt that great curly#i modelled his eye here in the shape of the first photo of a black hole. why wont anyone but jimmy look him in the eyes?#hi swanseas palpable guilt. i guess if you stop biting the hook he'll get bored and finally end this game of cat and mouse#the whole piece is haunted by jimmy btw . notice how the yellow arrows zero in on the Real Problems to him#this next part i wrote after watching a video on the board game in mouthwashing because i spent a lot of time choosing editions#daisuke: toys r us edition with his piece already in the home row so winning by just 1#(the lowered expectations towards him + the safety net his family provides... which would not actually matter much after the crash...)#swansea: the royal edition#standard used on the tulpar + theres a move where you can form a blockade with 2 pieces and nothing can move forward or break it#even your other pieces (they changed this to be more lenient on everyone else after the crash i mean in the newer editions)#anya: homemade fabric board with influences from diane allison-stroud. the one i used is called the reader#(an artist who recreates boards from the 18-1900s and designs new pieces many of which are decided to memories from her childhood#she often pays homage to her mother/grandmothers textile arts)#i swear i had inspo for curly too but i cant seem to find the one with rounded edges encroaching on the middle like i drew#little distinguishing his part from the board itself (jimmy) but of course those two are Very different and itd be wrong to mix them up#how could i forget jimmys fear of -itys and stubborn menu options of leave and do nothing. finally all the stars become the tulpar logo :)

Every time someone uwu-ifies Fiddleford, I find a new way for him to cheat on his wife
#because y’all wanna harp on ‘I can’t stand him cheating’#he started a cult and used the memory gun on his boyfriend#but a repressed gay man having an affair is where we draw the line#not wearing your wedding ring and forgetting to get your wife a gift for Christmas is cheater behavior btw#I have good news a character can do something you wouldn’t personally do or condone and still be likable and sympathetic#Fiddleford you imperfect adulterer I love you#Emma-may I love you too sorry your husband’s gay#let my girl be angry at her husband’s betrayal#fiddauthor is Brokeback mountain coded and you know what Jack and Ennis did? have affairs#I don’t think it cheapens their love story or disregards Emma-May’s character#in fact I think it’s honest with a show full of imperfect characters#believe what you want but nobody is asking you to JUSTIFY him cheating#but personally? I can sympathize with queer people who cheat while in a het relationship because there is so much fear and repression#especially historically and considering the assumption that Fiddleford had a religious upbringing#sorry for my rant I just am tired of people abdicating Fiddleford of his sins and making Stanford the only person at fault ever#fiddauthor#gravity falls#fiddleford mcgucket#stanford pines#grunkle ford#ford pines#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#fiddlesix#fordford#ford^2#fordsquared#emma may dixon#old man mcgucket#old man yaoi

"I have many fears, most of them about Lucrezia." — Cesare Borgia (The Borgias, 2011-2013) + hints of insecurity
that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him
#i have so many thoughts on these two#hes such a clingy brother wth#as much as he soothes her it is only by asking lucrezia verbally or#by looking at her that his fears and insecurities in her life can be soothed#cesare torn between - being relieved she had some joy in the ruthless marriage he had no power to prevent and did not even want to bless#or being envious there is someone else now when his little sister once said she will not love anyone as much as she loves him#but Accepting it anyways because it is impossible loves and maybe he is starting to become aware his love falls in this same category.#“should i envy this narcissus low-born who shall never see you again because of his impossible love for you when i love you just the same?”#the knife more surprise than fear. in a time when he did not love himself...“she accepts me as i am? as i do her”#biting her as if another black panther pet looking for reassurance that their love#that HE is still included in her perfect world even if he himself pulls away#“surely you're in agony as much as i am? are you already satisfied with your child and husband if we cannot share our love openly?”#“your eyes drift to mine when you say 'husband' am i not he? do you see me as so even when it was just 'tonight'?”#and then his sudden gaze as if to look for truth because how can she forget him when he only thinks of her#AND AGAIN pulling away being eaten by shame and guilt of corrupting her (when their relationship is not just his doing)#torn between hope (we have the capacity to forget and move on) and hope (our love has that much devil power over her)#cesare as the god or the devil or whatever it is that overwhelms whether at war or in love#cesare is one confident man and even if his insecurities has layers of righteousness and importance..it is still insecurity nonetheless#and only for lucrezia#lucrezia borgia#cesare borgia#cesare x lucrezia#the borgias#dailyborgia#perioddramaedit#perioddramasource#weloveperioddrama#onlyperioddramas#romancegifs#the borgiasedit

They both are mentally ill
#future trio#futuretrioshipping#actaeonshipping#duskvyle#celebi#dusknoir#grovyle#pmd2#pmd eos#my art#grovyle lives in constant fear his closest friends are going to protect him from a blow and proceed to forget everything about him#which stings quite some more when your reason to keep living is leaving your memory on other people

I think one of the most realistic parts about Baby Reindeer (2024) is how much Donny downplays the abuse he faces
I know everyone wants to hate on him for being “stupid” and blame him for everything that happened because yes from an outsiders perspective he made questionable choices but isn’t that what HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DO?
I know so many people who’ve “played nice” or tried to downplay abusive behavior. You try and tell yourself “It wasn’t that bad”, or that it was just some crazy experience that should be forgotten. It seems so much easier to stay silent and just try to move on.
You don’t wanna start problems
You don’t wanna be mean
You don’t wanna be the bad guy
#they blame him for not just telling her to fuck off every chance#I’ve seen people say he shouldn’t have kept giving her free drinks#or even he should’ve never given her tea#AS IF SHOWING BASIC KINDNESS WAS THE PROBLEM#people forget that he was still a victim#Donny’s character admits that he messed up in his interactions with Martha but people need to stop and think about the situation#the fear the anxiety everything that comes with being stalked#I know I’ve dealt with creepy guys at work or at school and I didn’t say anything#and so many other people have had the same experiences#it’s easy to say oh I’d do this or I’d do that#when it’s not happening to you it’s easy to assume you’d be better and smarter than them#baby reindeer

(ch 40 spoilers) au where qifrey erases olruggios memories one too many times and he forgets qifrey and ONLY qifrey
sometimes using forbidden magic that no one really knows how to wield anymore comes with unintended consequences!
eventually qifrey comes upon a solution, but it will return ALL his memories to him. will he risk it...?
#obviously as we see with galga this will affect the rest of his memories but =^)#witch hat atelier#witch hat atelier spoilers#I NEEEEEEEEED QIFREY TO SUFFER FOR THIS OK i love oru i love qifrey i love all these characters!#but my god! dont we all want this man to experience consequences!#tongari boushi no atelier#olruggio#qifrey#tetia is there too. hi tetia!#art#i like to think maybe orus own magic/thoughts interfered with the spell. or maybe even qifreys#a combination of that or even the slightest misdrawing led it to. misfiring#something like oru himself wondering if hell erase Everything. or fearing forgetting qifrey#or qifrey entertaining for even a moment If only we hadnt met. just at the wrong moment#the first time i draw anyone from witch hat and its. this#me knowing that oru Would forgive him and that something drastic needs to be done:#baby this is for ur own good i promise hghdfbghfbdg

it would be really funny if mephone's intent with knife was that he was gonna be the type of "bully" character who gave people wedgies and shoved people in lockers and that was it, but then something went horribly awry and the bit went too far and now knife is concocting all of these mechanisms and schemes for the sole purpose of torturing and killing people in the most painful way possible because he thinks it's funny and is constantly being tormented by the uncontrollable urge to cause immense amounts of violence even when he tries to stop doing that in the future. "we could have been anything but you made us broken" mephone did not tell you to put marshmallow in the brazen bull. you did that of your own volition.
#inanimate insanity#ii spoilers#sorry im just. im obsessed with how terrible knife is in the remaster#its interesting because being shown the FULL extent of his unyielding cruelty makes his arc later in the show even more interesting#especially since they're emphasizing that the other contestants are slowly beginning to fear and hate him. UNDERSTANDABLY.#one thing in particular it recontextualizes is his conversation with balloon in s2e7#where he talks about how even if they try to change the rest of the s1 cast is never going to forget about or forgive them for what they di#and knowing that the rest of the s1 cast actively DISLIKED AND FEARED HIM. ohhhhh. oughhhhh knife. my guy.#not to toot my own horn but. in my fic. when knife says that he deserves to have died and doesn't deserve another chance at life#compared to bow whose worst crime was being kind of annoying and yet suffered the same fate as him#god. GOD.#i don't know how Grim theyre willing to go with s4 considering how s2's unrelenting Misery began to drain them emotionally but#adam. brian. mario and luigi. im begging you. get a LITTLE bit insane with it. for me.

so what do we think fiddleford saw when he looked into the gremloblin's eyes? dude was so traumatised that stanford "oblivious to my assistant's emotional turmoil" pines took notice. it's what motivated him to INVENT THE MEMORY GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'm honestly surprised i haven't seen more speculation about this
#what do we think is fiddleford's worst nightmare#I'll throw my hat in the ring and say it should be close to what actually happens to him. for maximum angst#maybe because he's away on work so often he's terrified of never seeing his family again. or his son forgetting who he is#and his response to that fear starts the chain of events destroys his family and changes him beyond recognition#because i love a good self-fulfilling prophecy#anyway please. share your ideas#tragedy enjoyers when a character's best efforts to escape their fate only leads them towards it#damn i just missed fiddleford friday#gravity falls#journal three#fiddleford mcgucket#ford pines#stanford pines#journal 3#da gremloblin#my favorite character#fiddleford...saturday?#:(#oh ig I'll tag#ford²#fiddauthor#cuz there's. potential there

The first day of the new school year began much the same as any other; being accosted by the hallway monitor for dawdling, having inappropriate footwear and daring to possess yet another pair of headphones, only for them to remember who he was and abandon any hopes of receiving an explanation, or an excuse.
Robin thought he would’ve outgrown his selective mutism by now, but apparently, it didn’t work like that. He’d eventually seen a therapist a few years prior, but the poor man didn’t exactly have a handbook for “strange child who can’t speak sometimes due to other people’s overwhelming head voices but won’t/can’t explain himself to anyone other than a ghost who’s stuck in his attic” so, it’d fallen a little flat. At least, that’s what he kept telling himself; but the older he got, the more he started to think he’d been using his gift as a convenient excuse for some of his issues. Maybe. Possibly.
Much less bombarded than when he was little, Robin could usually tune out the everyday chatter within surrounding minds, though he rarely did. He’d become far too accustomed to being nosy, and at this point it was weirder NOT to hear everyone else’s thoughts. It produced an intense itchy feeling that was almost impossible to ignore, as though he’d miss something important the moment he stopped listening.
As a result, Robin struggled to live in the moment, and for himself; constantly juggling other people’s thoughts and emotions as well as his own. Sometimes he wondered if he’d understand his brain better if it belonged to someone else, like if he could observe it from a distance as with everyone else, it’d make more sense-.. or maybe paying more attention in Mr Fitzherbert’s biology classes would help. He supposed he was still overwhelmed after all, just better at hiding it.
Either way, he wasn’t about to admit to all this nonsense out loud, especially not if it landed him in Doctor Abbott’s office again. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to find out how weird he actually was, least of all a psychologist. Think of all the experiments they’d want to do, all the prodding and poking-.. or worse. Robin shuddered at the thought. No, thank you!

Previous // Next

#ts4#sims 4#simblr#ts4 story#sims story#forever in between#fib#robin finch#lil robin update i suppose#⚆_⚆#it's giving 'oh hi thanks for checking in i'm still a piece of garbage' vibes lmao#skdjsk#maybe he's starting to resent his selective mutism a lil u kno#i wanted to remind us all he still very much suffers from it#cos we mostly see him with the ppl he CAN talk to so it's easy to forget#😩#i also wanted to touch on some of the fears he has around being found out#like.. he's not just worried about people thinking he's weird af or avoiding him#he's kinda scared that if a medical professional or smth similar knew.. that they'd wanna figure out wtf was going on u kno#like pls don't experiment on my lil guy 😱#stay away from him GET A JOB

finished pokemon black 1 & 2 pretty recently and I kinda really enjoy his character a lot to the point I picked up my iPad as soon as I finished the first game lol
unfortunate I spent a little too much time working on this to the point I’m not sure if I like it or not 😭
#natural harmonia gropius#???#I forget his name is literally natural harmonia gropius and it’s so off typing it in#n pokemon#pokemon#pokemon black and white#my art#he’s such a cutie patootie I fear#if I had a ds and played the gen 5 games when I was younger I would be so far from normal about him

sometimes i really want to write a canon divergence fic where valgrace meet before the lost hero. like i want them to not only meet but start a friendship and even fall in love. however, they can’t be together at the moment since leo is on the run and jason needs to stay with and help his camp. however, they promise that if their feelings remain when they meet again, then they’ll get back together
but then the lost hero and memory-stealing hera happens. the boy leo loved forgot him and is now dating his best friend. but he’s fine! totally fine! he only wants them to be happy
then jason starts to get his memories back. and he even gets small, insignificant memories back but none of the ones with leo. then leo starts to doubt their relationship. did it only mean anything to him? was it nothing to him? did he ever even love him? he didn’t know and didn’t know if he wanted the answer
but he was fine! totally fine! and he never brings it up
#valgrace#leo valdez#jason grace#heroes of olympus#angst angst om nom nom#bonus angst points if jason only remembers after leo dies#also imagine if leo told him his greatest fear was being forgotten#and jaskn swore on the river styx to never forget him#:))))#and they both confided in each other and told the other things they never told anyone else#so leo knows jason better than amnesiac jason knows himself but he has to act like he doesn’t

I disliked Holden Caulfield when I read The Catcher In the Rye because he held up a mirror to the parts of me I didn’t like and I hated how I related to him, you dislike Holden Caulfield because he is a whiny hypocrite and you have no empathy and no media literacy. We are not the same.
#Holden Caulfield#The Catcher in The Rye#I have a lot of thoughts on this book#and so many people have very bad opinions about it#we read this in high school how did yall miss the point of it so badly?!#you can’t possibly all have had bad English teachers!#Yes he is all those negative things people say about him!#but also no really because he is putting on an act#I know discussion on him being an unreliable narrator is a big point so did y’all just forget?#he’s a traumatized teenager leave him alone!#he uses his hat like a security blanket and loves his sister#he’s just a kid!#I fear there is no hope for understanding mentally ill characters#people can’t even handle Holden Caulfield#mental illness isn’t romantic or just being sad#disliking this book is a valid opinion but let’s not mischaracterize Holden

I wish they talked about this more


That’s all.. (except the tags lol)
#caution yap ahead#teen titans comics#bart allen#a year and a half in complete isolation just reading and reading because SOME PEOPLE in your life who are SUPPOSED to be family#made you feel utterly useless and your friends going through teen angst and relationships and secrets aren’t helping#so you force yourself into isolation to ‘catch up’ with the rest of the crowd because ‘you gotta grow up sometime too’#you’ve heard everyone say it all your life but after getting your knee blown up and then got surgery to fix it in a law breaking#no pain killers procedure where your biggest fear was dissappointing your family and not about the mass pain you were in#so you decided right after it was done to walk right to the library sit down and just read.. for a year and a half. alone. all to prove#yourself and to make those around you less annoyed with you#this is a comic Wally diss#I guess I just wish they showed us the emotional repercussions of this#the surgery was bad enough but to spend that long alone right after being in so much pain is devastating#they did mention his knee bothering him after these issues dropped so they get points for not completely forgetting it#and he was dropping all the facts after this so they weren’t completely forgetting it happened#I’m just curious why they left the isolation part out#not to mention he’s just moved states and his father figure is missing and he can’t do anything about that fact#and yeah I guess it was cool of teen titans to prove in cannon that Bart is smartTM#especially to a wider audience since more people were reading ttv3 rather than impulse 95#I wonder why he took on the kid flash costume and moniker though.. I mean he could’ve stayed as impulse and it wouldn’t change anything#it wasn’t a progression through his family legacy either because we’ve seen him be prepared to go from impulse right to flash#multiple times too#I think Geoff just hated impulse and changed him to kid flash because it fit the titans mold better..#which is RIDICULOUS because Bart was a titan before even his solo series began during new titans

hi everyone did you know that um. 😊when julian went over to albert's house in 2013 to listen to st justice he asked if it was about him. 😊 yes the song that is a love song to albert's then-girlfriend justyna. haha. just letting you know 😊

albert hammond jr for the talk, 2013 (x)
#bands#the strokes#julian casablancas#albert hammond jr#ahj era#cm era#casamond#the talk#im chewing my fucking mnuckles#me when i think my best friend's weirdly depressing love song to his wife is about me#i say weirdly depressing because while im sure theres a more metaphorical slant to the lyrics that makes them sweeter#'forget me / i'll forget you' is an insane thing to say in a song to your newly married wife#anyway. 😍👍#the rest of the interview is really good i recommend reading it he talks a lot about his drug use and self destructive impulses#hes so real for that i fear#and i know the lyrics are vague enough to allow for wiggle room they dont instantly ping as an overt sappy love song but like.#if your boy best friend thinks ur love song is about him then there's . Something's happened along the way. yknow.#edit i just realised that they werent married when he wrote the song but still

thinking ab vyncent again...............

#something something him thinking about different traditions back home he can't recreate on prime#something something him speaking elvish mixed with common because thats how he primarily spoke at home and that stopping after a whole#something something nobody calling him virion nobody understanding what he means when he talks about home#nobody acknowledging the struggle of the absolutely massive transition he went through#i will stand by common being largely not used in much of fauna forever btw. i think he definitely spoke it but.#not exactly fluent for most of his life I don't think#you can't convince me he didnt forget words during the first few months/weeks#I'll never be normal about him I'll never not think about how scared he was or how he must've been so confused that yeah.#not everything ehats you fucking dead.#you can not live in fear that a new monster will arise randomly#and hey !!! everything you learned and know is mostly fucking useless here !!!!#anyways yeah i think about him alot.#hes so . ugh.#Ferals chatter🪿
