#Behavioral Patterns

[nalyra-dreaming]

I would like to know your thoughts about the cuck chair in the relationship between Armand and Daniel. I've read a lot about this parallel with Armand and Marius, but I just don't understand how it can be depicted in the series… And why would Armand do this to Daniel? Psychological trauma, gloominess is okay. The dynamic is already a little different from the book in that vampires can have sex on their own… So why would Armand just do that?

The show is about generational trauma and the cycles of abuse on a narrative level and a ... let's call it commentary level.

Armand "renting" Daniel out to other mortals and sitting by watching ... is echoing exactly what Armand experienced. He is trying to recreate the feeling he felt back then, despite everything, all the while probably knowing that the action itself will make Daniel hate him (and it does, in the book).

We'll see how they do it in the show, but both Armand's time before being turned and the (book) relationship of mortal Daniel with Armand are 12 years.

Parallels, parallels.

You have to counter algorithms based on positively rewarded negative behavior patterns with the contradicting behavioral pattern.

[monkey-shines-shenanigans]

I think if we framed things like this more though things would just make more sense.

1. It would be easier for us to explain things and behaviors in society that seem to elude most people.

2. Also I think it would reinforce that literally all human beings are animals and therefore not above anyone or anything else but instead part of the cycle and stewardship.

Lastly I don’t see why it’s rude, people in psychology and biology literally do this all the time. I think people just don’t like to reminded that they are in fact observable animals and not god.

My only real concern is then people who were hellbent on being shitty would use this as an excuse to hurt people anyways like: “Oh I can’t help it I’m an animal”

Once you start thinking about humans as a species in a biome, it affects your entire way of looking at normal things.

The other day I referred to female morning joggers as an 'indicator species' in that if you see women jogging in the dark it means that the environment provides migration pathways (sidewalks, clear signs) and doesn't have any known predators of female morning joggers (guy with knife, bear, BigTruck, male morning joggers).

Though, I think that people consider framing humans as animals reacting to their environment as rude.

The Quiet Power of the People Around Us

We don’t always notice it happening. It’s subtle, slow, and often goes unspoken. But the people we spend time with—their energy, their behavior, their outlook—start to shape us. Not because we’re weak-minded or lack a sense of self. Not because we’re trying to copy anyone. Simply because we’re human. And being human means we are wired to absorb the world around us, especially the human part of…

Silent, Sallow Teeth,

Take a hard look in the mirror. Stare at your reflection. Who do you see? Is it someone perfect? Is the person before you free of blemishes unlike all of us? Where do you get the sense of entitlement to measure people? The truth is you want people to shower you with their attention. Yes, eyes on you and no one else. You are in the center of everything. A living black hole of a sun that knows no…

You're a spineless bastard for walking back support towards a trans woman and then leaving her to fend for herself when these same people that you "apologized to" keep harassing her. Spoiler alert: "Corezy" and "Impunksters-Syndrome" keep spreading lies about Starryjoy and keep trying to ruin her life. But no please keep telling everyone how you should not have said that, and that she was actually an asshole because she was getting dogpiled by them. Good job man, I hope your moral compass is doing well.

So heres the thing. I walked back the post because, as I already stated, I felt it was hasty and worsened the situation. At no point did I state all of what I believe, how my opinion has changed if at all, or anything other than an apology for the *action* I took, its repercussions, I have only spoken for myself and on myself about that post. AT NO POINT HAVE I CONDEMNED MARI. AT NO POINT HAVE I SAID SHE WAS ACTUALLY THE ASSHOLE.

So at which point did that rescind my support? At which point did I point the finger at starry-joy? Spineless bastard, I've been called better by worse and I take it as compliment not insult especially from someone that sees a retraction and apology for a hastily made decision as a death knell against someone. Someone who I do not, or at this crossroads did not, see as having abused a member of the community.

But now I will point the finger, Mari, because this isn't the only anon you've sent me. Or perhaps this is another person you've goaded into saying something on your behalf? Perhaps you deleted evidence of you mentioning wanting to do it but that you weren't sure if you should and could someone do it for you? Like how you did in Corezy's server? The discussion that lead to my post that caused I-S further isolation and harassment alongside Corezy, your alleged victim, from the community once you'd learned I-S was warning people about you? The post you wanted made but were afraid it would make you look bad if people knew you wanted it done? Thats why you deleted your messages immediately after sending them, right? Because your choices make you look bad. Because it was your idea. And, how convenient, both of them were further isolated as a result. I-S was chased off the platform, Corezy and their side blog have been in months long hiatus, so how are either of them still going at Starry?

I accept fault for leaning toward her version of events- this shift is because of how my retraction and apology is being taken as a personal attack when I have ONLY taken responsibility for MYSELF in this matter. I wanted to believe she was simply bad at supporting someone in a dark place and, still, I and everyone else only *has* Starry's version of events. Blackbox and Corezy have neither reached out to me- 1 anon who is friends with Blackbox did where I apologized- and as of the writing of this response I don't believe Corezy has made any statements about this situation either.

I will not apologize for my retraction. We do not have all the details about what happened between the 3 and, conveniently, my post harmed the ability for either of the other 2 to speak about it. My opinion had, till now, remained that S-J had mishandled issues between her and Corezy and that she had made an inappropriate comment where it could be misconstrued as her using suicide as an excuse to keep Corezy close to her.

Do I have all the details? No, thats part of why I retracted the post. I do have Mari's actions and behavior in the server, with this issue, and toward me to look back upon though and I have suspicions for how this will go once I post this ask. Sending me these anons makes you look guilty, not less.

The realm of mental health therapy is vast and comprises numerous modalities that cater to the unique needs of individuals and families. Mental health therapists in Methuen, Massachusetts, have particularly shown an aptitude for understanding these needs.

[aria-herself]

The isolation of trans women, and specifically the common pattern of trans women being kicked out of communities, is interesting to me as a radical transfeminist. or like, I tend to think there are a lot of interlocking effects that produce it.

First, trans women are talked about but not listened to. In our specific position as trans women we are subject to a particular strain of misogyny justifying itself with transphobia that let's people be safely misogynist towards us. Or, we are seen as too loud, too present, too mean, too angry, etc. The impulse to shut us up (because we are women) is justified (because we are trans).

Second, our rejection of assimilation (which, to be clear, i think is both necessary and good). This is I think more interesting and more complicated. Most trans women are not just trans women. We are disabled, poor, or fat. We aren't conventionally attractive or we won't perform femininity. Our broader transfeminist movement rejects assimilationism. And, in doing so, we fail to assimilate.

Broader anti-intersectional politics sees people marginalized in multiple ways as necessarily illegible to preserve structural power. If you understand that not all women are white, you must then recognize that just accepting white women is not enough. That the systems in place must be destroyed and cannot merely by fixed by treating each intersection (starting with the closest to power) with step by step bug fixes. Then, trans women are, generally, illegible.

In the interpersonal sphere, I think this manifests very interestingly as a mythologizing of us. We are not seen as trans women (as in members of the idealized group), because none of us precisely fit the tropes. Or, maybe we are, until we fail those tropes. And, being not seen as that, it is safe to mistreat us. The intersection of transness with femaleness plays out on a fractal scale and each further marginalization is another argument that we aren't worth it.

Then, finally, the tropes about us. We're mean girls, separatists, rapists, predators, problematic, radfems. These stories about us then provide the explanation. We aren't the perfect mythologized image of the trans woman so when we inevitably fail to meet that image we are revealed to be mean, spiteful, bitches who just need to shut up and listen while they tell us what we are and why we need to leave now and never talk again. And misogyny is right and the cycle is complete.

Lol I have the only remaining marketable non-artistic skill. Tracking psychopathology via behavioral patterns and using the internet to analyze them faster and with a higher success rate than a computer, and I’ll never sell it. The military can’t even do it this well. 😂. fuckin losers 🖕🏽 The CIA tried to recruit me for it and I told them I’d rather die.

[pocketgalaxies]

cannot imagine being caleb widogast btw and having such a fixed view of yourself as this irredeemable monstrous man who wishes for nothing more than to atone for the unatonable while also questioning whether you even deserve to live long enough to do so and then befriending this girl who is notorious for never sparing anyone's feelings when she has something to say and has, since you've known her, intentionally rebuilt herself from the ground up into someone who is real and direct and honest even when it hurts, and for her to lean forward and look into your eyes and say, with a magnitude of brutal honesty that only she could muster, that it Wasn't Your Fault.
