#I crave connection

[blorbocantdomath]

It's funny. I used to care so much about how many people followed me or liked my content on Tumblr and other social media apps... But now, I couldn't care less.

I guess studying something close to UX & UI design has made me see how these hell-machines are made, and how they pull on social strings inside our brains to somehow make us care about a stranger we never met before liking something we said or did... (?)

I don't know if it's just me, but ever since I actually tried to depict the same situation in real life, I have immediately stopped seeking that approval. It's f*cking weird.

Just recently I had a comment about a social matter go viral on another platform... And even though I get notifications about it daily, they make me feel awkward... Not satisfied or happy. Just- awkward.

I'm happy people agree with what I said, but at the same time I wish people were more active in doing something about a social issue rather than randomly liking or resharing or commenting that they agree with me.

Maybe context matters too. I'm dissatisfied with this detatched, passive engagement. It's so... Empty. I like having meaningful conversations with people. That's something that really makes me feel connected, compared to all this... Pointless noise.

I hope I can design a platform in the future that brings people together. VR reintroduces some of the much needed elements of closeness. Perhaps a social space that feels like an upgrade from VRChat and had more accessible, comfortable headsets... Who knows. 1 am rambling making me write this.

I can’t tell if Im experiencing gender envy or what. I think I kind of really want to be friends with this person though. They’re just an overall cool and respectful person. Also, I kinda need more friends so I’m yearning.

Tbh, I'm kind of obsessed with the almost tragedy of Eiland and Caldarus in Fields of Mistria. Eiland's dedicated his life to uncovering the secrets and stories hidden in Mistria's archeology - he's single-mindedly devoted to it, so much so that even his side hobbies are influenced by his love of history and desire to know more about Mistria's but it's that devotion that makes him so blind to the magic right in front of him.

It's Eiland's sharp eye that sees Caldarus' statue behind that tree on the farm. It's Eiland who whacks away at the bark with the axe fruitlessly until he's assisted. It's Eiland who coaxes the player to help repair Caldarus' statue and subtly ropes them into joining his History Society. It's Eiland who is devoted to the steles, who gets so excited at the prospect at uncovering a new piece of old Mistria's puzzle that he cuts his outing short to rush to the museum. It's Eiland who realises that all of the different eras of artefacts dug up in Mistria's soil must mean that Mistria itself was once the cradle of civilisation for Aldaria.

And yet, with all of that knowledge, he's still so, so blind to what's right in front of him. He doesn't realise that Juniper is a witch, he merely knows that she is familiar with all manner of the arcane and assumes it's a scholarly pursuit like his instead of what it actually is - Juniper's lifestyle, Juniper's culture. And ultimately, I think that's why he's blind to Caldarus and the magic right in front of him.

Eiland isn't taking the time to stop and really think about what all these artefacts and armaments mean. He isn't considering that remnants of old Mistria still live, he isn't even able to grapple with the question of whether or not it's right for him to dig up the armour at the stele when it's clearly hidden there for a reason. Eiland is completely detached from the history he's searching for and that's why, even with magic and the truth about Mistria right in front of him, he'll remain blind to it.

Kaveh referring to the house the two share as ‘home’ to alhaitham, and alhaitham implicitly agreeing, saying that ‘my thoughts exactly’ which underscores how in tandem they have acted throughout the quest!?? i have THOUGHTS

Kaveh referring to the house as a ‘home’ solidifies that he sees alhaitham as a valuable companion, turning a 'house' into the 'home' which he sees as a place of comfort and understanding, in which words are not needed - which is referenced within this quest, with kaveh understanding alhaitham in needing help when researching the temple of silence, without alhaitham having to say anything

Him stating 'home' to alhaitham, as in, that he views the house they share as his ‘home’, signifies that a significant development has occurred in their relationship, with alhaitham seemingly implicitly confirming the same sentiment with ‘my thoughts exactly’, in relation to the two heading ‘home’ after stopping at the house of daena. This encapsulates the image of two as each other’s ‘home’ and ‘family’, which now is implied to be a shared sentiment... oh....,,,,

House's tendency to rationalize feelings away and being frustrated at himself for still feeling them. It's hurting me 😢

At the end of 05x04 Birthmarks he did a paternity test... And even after it turned out that John wasnt his father, he was still drinking his whiskey, because it didn't mean anything that John wasn't his biological father, because things are still the same.

He's still sad, he's still depressed. The dipshit of a man passing still made him sad. And the thought that he can't even rationalize it away as hatred upsets him. And so he drinks.

And to that Wilson said no one can choose their parents... Because House rejects John as his paternal figure and yet deep inside, House still called him his dad.

It's all about Nagi living alone in a tiny one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with zero personality and Reo having a whole floor for himself but still living surrounded by tacky-expensive home decor with no apparent traces of his actual personality, either. It's all about how Nagi's parents haven't visited him in 2 years nor taken an interest in his life since, while Reo's are content to live floors apart from their teenage son, only taking an interest in what value he can bring to Mikage Corp but being otherwise uninvolved in / dismissive of his actual life. It's all about them being surrounded by people and still not knowing how to form a meaningful connection with another person before meeting each other. It's all about them being so starved for genuine human warmth to combat their bone-deep loneliness that they both treasure memories of tiny, inconsequential moments where they were spending time with their parents. Something something it's this line,

and how it describes them both despite being said about Reo. It's them being awkward 17-year-olds who had never before had an equal who would just respect them as they are and unconditionally look their way. In this essay I will-

Being a canine, I’m not surprised that Barnaby is least fazed. Howdy would probably have him converted to eating raw meat with him in no time lmao
