"what do I do if I have theories" will always be the fucking funniest reddit post

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

Is it just me or does having a positive interaction with a stranger scratch a very particular itch? I think it's the reassurance that the world is not split solely into people who already love you and people who never will.

Mushi-shi's plant-like women

As I'm rewatching Mushi-shi, I've come to "Floral Delusion," which, I'm realizing, is the second episode featuring a woman being kept alive artificially by a mushi due to wills of her family. In "One Night Bridge," it was due to the politics of an arranged marriage, but this one is simply about a woman unable to see, hear, smell, touch, or taste, still being bound to this world because others find her beautiful.

The familiar symbol of cherry blossoms helps communicate what I think is the point of this episode. While "One Night Bridge" tried to show that a plant-like woman deserves to have her personhood respected no matter what, I feel like this episode was more about the natural order of life and death.

I know Mushi-shi can go to some pretty dark body-horror places, even in "cozy" episodes, but I feel like this episode has some of the most classic horrific imagery. The twist is almost like something from an old slasher movie. I think it's interesting those horror tropes were included in this episode in particular. With that and the cherry blossom metaphor in mind, the message I get is this:

It is an abomination to try to preserve something just because it's beautiful when it is only natural to wither and fade. All beauty in the world is a part of this cycle of life and death.

the concept of growing into love is so much more intriguing than falling in love. it’s like, on all our good days and bad days, I will choose to love you, I will learn with you, I will live my life with you and we will grow into and with each other through the passage of time

I'm like if a girl who didn't do much was still experiencing burnout

This is so fucking disgusting. How DARE you say Jewish-Palestinian joint organizing is a bigger threat than literal neo-Nazis threatening and killing us!

are you actually more empathetic & considerate than all of your friends or did you grow up forced to cater to and mediate the emotions of adults & everyone else around you and now you’re hypervigilant & prone to fawning and holding people in your life to the standard of your trauma coping mechanisms—a standard you yourself shouldn’t be held to

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
