They look like people (2015) is such a great portrayal of psychosis. I cannot speak for every psychotic person, but I do experience delusions of persecution and I sobbed like a child in the end. No, seriously. The ups and downs, the confusion, attempting to trust people and failing every time. It's a horror movie but it's not about people turning into monsters or anything. It's about a person trying to navigate advanced psychosis, getting better and then infinitely worse, trying to stop himself from harming people that he is trying to protect. It's also about hope, respect and friendship and how a good support system can make a tremendous difference. Watch it.

(Disclaimer: I am not saying that every psychotic person is inherently dangerous but people with delusions of persecution often resort to extreme measures. And yes, if you are advocating for mental health, they deserve just as much understanding and compassion.)

If you had a chance, would you want to have a separate body from Jekyll? If so what would be the first thing you do?

You do know that Jekyll is me, right? Why would both of us throw away a perfect cover up? "He" finances my lifestyle and protects me, "I" give him the freedom he has always wished for.

If we were to be separated, however, the first thing I would do is crash one of his fancy dinner parties. Truth be told, they have always bored both of us to death.

Since more people than I expected think that Hyde got so angry with Carew because the latter was propositioning him for sex, here is my favorite piece of analysis from William Veeder (yes, that guy who published all the surviving pieces of the manuscript for us to enjoy):

*hands hyde a note and walks away giggling*

*the note says:

i havs a crush on you do you like me 2

□ yes <333

□ no

(tik a box pls)*

What is this childish nonsense? Are you making fun of me?

*briefly scans the surroundings, wondering if someone genuinely finds him appealing*

that creepy unkempt man they warned you about

Couldn't do the man a favor and keep it a secret, could they?

Hyde's facial expressions in Hyde & Seek are pure gold

(he handled it well, but the fact that Hyde was scared of a bunch of screaming women still cracks me up)

The worst part of normalized surveillance is the normalization.

It's the thousands of followers who react to your secretly taken videos of noble good deeds with encouragement. It's them feeling cheered up, day made, hearts filled with warmth by your brazen voyeurism.

It's scrolling past a Tumblr post of a reddit post of a Twitter screenshot of a father and daughter sharing an intimate, family moment, oblivious to the tweeter taking a photo of them.

It's minding your business at the grocery store, hearing a weird noise, and realizing some teens are filming a tiktok dance and either did not notice or did not care that you are in the shot.

It's walking home with a mask on because every single condo and floor apartment in your neighborhood has Ring and you don't know what that means for you yet.

It's thinking about talking to a PR person just in case your recurring nightmare of your mental breakdown in the parking lot suddenly going viral comes true, hoping against hope a professional knows the magic set of words that will mitigate the harassment, stop you from losing your job.

It's that reddit post of the Sikh woman who found her and her mustache on the frontpage, forced to turn public humiliation into a teaching moment. It's some jackass redditor posting a couples photo, ostensibly to mock that his fly was down yet 70% of the comments target his girlfriend's appearance. It's seeing a top reddit pic with a headline demonizing a person in it months after you saw this same pic taken down after mods discovered op was lying. It's a lot of reddit.

It's wondering how many times your face has been posted online and if it was in a positive context at least.

It's that this is all normal, that so many of these things feel neutral to individuals, not a risk they're taking on behalf of a stranger.
