#the brain is extremely complicated

[artbytesslyn]

its important to remember that long term chronic pain rewires your brain so even after you find a treatment plan that relieves some or all of that pain, you're still gonna have days where you wanna tear all your hair out.

it might feel like it's for no reason! but its cos your brain has new highways in it and traffic still goes thru there whether it makes sense or not

if you're having a bad day, just let your body have a break. Don't try to rationalize it cos the conclusion you might come to is 'wow even with treatment I'm useless' and that's always bad. If your brain and body are telling you "I Can't Do That Right Now", even if you can't figure out the reason, just listen

We are from another multiverse. Yes, not universe, multiverse. And people in our universe love writing about you guys on the internet and it can get extremely wierd.

Oh and also we know exactly who the original is along with most people's backstorys :)

Error doesn't respond for a long few minutes.

"So you guys actually exist? I mean, I know you guys exist, cause you're here and love talking my skull off, but- You guys have your own universe? Uh, I mean-"

Error glances at the nonexistent ground, frowning deeply. He is quiet for a few more minutes before throwing his arms up in an X.

"Yeah, no. No thank you. I already have one multiverse to worry about. I don't want to add another to it."

as I psychologist i really love when people write about caleb’s actual mental state, although I do not excuse some of his behaviors, i like to see how people explain how traumatized his mind really is and no, i don’t think he really is a yandere 🥹

So do you ever think about Jon embracing being non human and becoming a worse but much much happier version of himself or are you normal

I am thinking about Jonathan Sims having a fraying connection with humanity All Of The Time. Jon who is drawn to the Eye not just because he needs to know but because being an Avatar just feels Right. Jon who has always struggled to connect with the people around him. Jon who feels he was never human in some fundamental way to begin with, always reaching for all the things humans are supposed to be that he has never been. Jon eternally caught between the knowledge that if he ever stops trying he can only hurt the people around him but if he never stops trying he will always be crushed under the weight of his own stifling humanity. Jon shedding his false skin and feeling nothing but relief even though he knows he is going to hurt people now, and more than ever before, and he is not ever going to stop because the chains are gone and they can’t be put back. This is because I am extremely normal and have no problems at all.

(I think there’d probably be some good Jon/Jonah parallels here if we had ever gotten to see Jonah as he was just starting out. Like genuinely do you see the Vision?)

(I do believe this post is like. Maybe the most articulate I have ever been on the subject. Do you fucking know how much “a tragic loss of life, etc. etc.” fucking Haunts me? I don’t have the words to explain it now and I don’t think I did before either but it changed my brain chemistry please I don’t know what to say but I desperately need to say it.)

(I think this was maybe more. Adjacent to what you meant maybe? Unfortunately I got caught on This Concept and I’m trapped in it now. I hope this is alright)

Sabo shipped off to work on an oil rig, the ? Managing director? quartermaster?

Idk what jobs there are on oil rigs but whoever is in charge, a rough sea dog kindly in that isolated sort of way kind of man named Marco takes him in and tells him the rig shapes you, best, leave what it lures you alone

Which is fine, sabos no stranger to seeing beyond what one is supposed to but on the rig he hears voices and thats fine too because its not uncommon out at sea

Its also not uncommon to see nothing at all durinf the dark pitch black nights

What is uncommon is to see his husband sitting on the railings of the rusty salt eroded rig, radiant and with a smile that lances through his ribs because he misses him so much

Further uncommon is Ace died one summer that feels so fresh it couldve been yesterday, an aching wound from five years past

Sabo ran to the sea to escape him, Ace, fraught with the concept that sabo may forget him, chases after him

Cosmic psychological horror haunting by your deceased lover and seeking the comfort in the arms of the only other soul on deck— marco

Perhaps hes fucking crazy, Marco doesnt feel real either

why do so many people in amazon reviews want product instructions spelled out with words. most of the time when I see these complaints, adding text to the illustrated instructions wouldn't add any additional clarity.

I get that some people might process information better in the form of text but there comes a point when a matter is so simple that reading any amount of words is more complicated than seeing a visual. like if a coffee table arrives as a tabletop with four pre-drilled holes and four screw on legs what the fuck are these people doing leaving a review saying "garbage instructions don't explain anything". like how did they even figure out how to buy things online.

though I guess these are probably just shit-stirring "this is america and everything should be written in american" types.

@mystech-master The commission did very bad things to Hawks. :(

The context is the woman talking is Lady Nagant, who Keigo replaced. They have the same job. And in the flashback, she recounts being told to kill people over and over— sometimes needlessly— to uphold their vision for society. When she tried questioning them, they subtly threaten to kill her (so she kills the president eventually and defects).

Having to do this over and over broke Lady Nagant's spirit so badly she began to see her hands as covered in blood and flinches away from kids who approach her (a parallel to Keigo, by the way, when Tokoyami tells him "your hands aren't dirty, Hawks").

So she's surprised that Keigo isn't completely broken by his history, too. He answers that he wasn't alone, and that he's an optimist (Keigo is extremely resilient! To the point that it's scary!). But still. He looks so sad/contemplative when she asks him the question. Like he knows EXACTLY what she's talking about. She doesn't even have to say it, he just knows. All she has to say is "my soul couldn't take it anymore. How do you still have that look in your eye?"

There's also a parallel right before then when AFO hires Nagant and then tries to kill her when she fails her mission, and Keigo says "He used you, but don't let it end like that."

Don't die as someone used.

Keigo does not say this simply because of what AFO did. Lady Nagant has always been used. Keigo knows that better than anyone.
