killing game hiruko and slasher hiruko do mirror each other in a twisted way, in how far they're going to keep someone she cares about from killing themself. just that in killing game, this manifests as her being an undoubtedly positive force for ending the game despite darumi and in the process bending over backwards (and dying) to save her. whereas in slasher she can't accept that the battle was lost from the start and so everything terrible happens and it's all for nothing anyways

like i'd thought they were at different points of character development - hiruko is variable bc she is developing over timelines but at a different rate than takumi is - but it's the same impulse. just. in one place it's a winnable battle adn in one it's just not. it's just not.

"slides this onto your dashboard with precision" ✨📏

if your brain constantly goes "but what if it’s not perfect?" and you have a detailed spreadsheet for your to-do list’s to-do list, you might vibe with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) traits. let’s break it down:

🔍 main OCPD energy:

perfectionism that hurts (why relax when you can redo that project 12 times?)

rules & order = safety (chaos is the enemy. the enemy.)

struggle to delegate (“if you want it done right… you must do it yourself”)

black-and-white thinking (either it’s flawless or it’s a total failure)

relationships? sometimes it feels like you’re the sole manager of How Things Should Be™, which… can be a lot for you and others. 😅

the good news? growth isn’t about being less you—it’s about being less tortured by the need for control. 🌱 this OCPD Workbook is a structured, self-compassionate way to loosen the grip while keeping your awesome attention to detail.

"Pre-twist, it's not just a study in Alfonse -- it's a study in Kiran, how they conceptualize Alfonse, how much they must know about him, to successfully act as him. Either subconsciously, almost reflexively (my interpretation first run, as a defense mechanism), or intentionally with full knowledge that they aren't who they claim to be (REALLY FASCINATING ANGLE. MUCH TO CONSIDER)."

^^^^^^^^ highlighting this in particular like This is how the Loadbearing Alfonse Wish Lore can still win. This is how I can implement this to still be true to Alfonse's character and lore while ALSO staying in-line with the Kiran Twist. <- COPING

Despite knowing better, I had given myself a deadline. Today. A big project that I've been working on for months and needs to be Finished already, thank you very much. It's all going well, I think I'll get it done and then ... I get lost in some very very specific sauce.

My therapist is in my ear as I slowly dig myself a deeper pit. Perfectionism, the bane of my existence. Well, one of them. It's at the origin of this particular time-lapse. I want to be Accurate and Complete. Before I know it, I'm covered in mathematics, percentages, statistics, graphs. I become very intimate with a graphics editor, discover functions and shortcuts that were a still a mystery to me three hours ago.

It's almost done when I realise it's wrong. Not inherently but vaguely, marginally, circumstantially. So I delete the work. Start again. It's all or nothing. It's a chore, a mountain, a this-and-then-that-and-then-thus-and-then-so, a finish line somewhere but not visible, not yet.

Then it is Done. I copy, I paste. Then I have something to eat. I've already decided, this deadline today, yeah, will be for tomorrow or the day after that. Time to relax and then go to bed. And then. My brain. Just realises. Out of nowhere. There's something not right. I check and my brain is - of course, flawlessly, inevitably - correct, for fuck's sake. It's fine, I fix. Re-copy, re-paste.

And I kid you not, this exact same thing happens as I am writing this post. So I've just, a minute ago, gone back into the graphics editor. A-g-a-i-n. I do the thing. I copy. I paste. Now, now, now it must be right. Please let it be so. But for all I know, my perfectionism-soaked brain will see it tomorrow and go, "Wait a minute ..."

me: yayy yippee im having so much fun in this fictional world :) maybe we should make something to put in it

my brain: only if you know every detail of what you're writing about. otherwise it doesn't count + it's lame + ooc garbage + L + ratio

An random note on perfectionism.

Not that I've seen any recent examples, but I was thinking about this and wanted to share.

In most stories, when characters are perfectionist, it's always written in a way like the end of their world is not finishing a project or work with everything perfectly done so they have to settle for less. But, there's another form I barely see people write about.

Perfectionism can be your inability to finish anything if it's not perfect.

Take me for example.

I've been turned into a perfectionist from several things, but most importantly, from the lack of support on anything I ever did.

Then, when I got older, that turned into me never finishing anything because I assumed it wouldn't work anyways.

Now as a fully grown adult, I will actually not do something if I feel it isn't going to be perfectly the way I want it to. As if having things done perfectly is the guage for people caring about something.

Now, I've become a slacker.

So, next time you write a perfectionist, you can write a slacker perfectionist who will not do any work because they know they can't get it perfect. That is also valid.

I'm doing far too much introspection lately, can't i just go back to calmly reading fiction?

[freytful]

my theory is that the reason public perception of ocd has so little in common with real OCD is that someone at some point got it confused with obsessive compulsive personality disorder, which is actually significantly more like the pop culture version of ocd than actual ocd

[hobartsaglet]

Absolute garbage take, OP, thanks for making me laugh in disbelief

In writing, epithets ("the taller man"/"the blonde"/etc) are inherently dehumanizing, in that they remove a character's name and identity, and instead focus on this other quality.

Which can be an extremely effective device within narration!

They can work very well for characters whose names the narrator doesn't know yet (especially to differentiate between two or more). How specific the epithet is can signal to the reader how important the character is going to be later on, and whether they should dedicate bandwidth to remembering them for later ("the bearded man" is much less likely to show up again than "the man with the angel tattoo")

They can indicate when characters stop being as an individual and instead embody their Role, like a detective choosing to think of their lover simply as The Thief when arresting them, or a royal character being referred to as The Queen when she's acting on behalf of the state

They can reveal the narrator's biases by repeatedly drawing attention to a particular quality that singles them out in the narrator's mind

But these only work if the epithet used is how the narrator primarily identifies that character. Which is why it's so jarring to see a lot of common epithets in intimate moments-- because it conveys that the main character is primarily thinking of their lover/best friend/etc in terms of their height or age or hair color.
