I'm still attempting to post here-

New hyperfixation!!! So here are some silly things while it hasn't worn off

I have trouble with online mental health activism because I feel like to a lot of people “destigmatization” requires that we deny that poor behavior and dysfunction in interpersonal relationships symptomatic of personality disorders etc and that people who have been diagnosed with certain things often were given that diagnosis because the criteria for getting that dx includes abusive, manipulative, deceitful, or abrasive behavior. It still doesn’t mean you’re a subhuman serial killer who is beyond help and beyond humanity and there’s something to be said about how bad behavior is pathologized even by clinicians but I don’t find it helpful the way this stuff is constantly minimized in an effort to make us seem more sympathetic. I feel like if anything people need to accept that narcissists and borderlines and addicts etc treat people like shit quite often but that for most it’s not coming from a place of inhuman malice and that people can learn new ways to relate to other people with time.

I agree. I don’t understand if this was put here because I blogged about Personality Disorders in general or if this person connects my posts to the point they are making. I think it was the latter. Personality disorders can cause problematic symptoms and while this is built on by ableists, it is true. I say *can * because sometimes this is not directly the case, in the way that I define problematic. People with disorders or addictions can treat people like shit. I’m sure most people without disorders do too. Not every action has malicious intent. People learn to deal with personality disorder to make sense of these symptoms and to ensure they are a better person. We don’t have to be actively getting better all the time though because that is truly exhausting and can make us become a worse version of ourselves. Thank you for your opinion- it was greatly appreciated.

I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.

I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.

quick update on art moving forward:

i'm gonna be switching back and forth between doing more original work/non-mlp content and gg20s art from now on. things may go slower, but that's part of me trying to take care of myself vs. the past couple of months which has been "i need to finish and post at least 2 gg20s artworks every week or i'll die." i still need to finish that utena juri illustration, and i have a neat character design exercise i wanna do on designing 90s high fantasy anime characters.

for full transparency, here are some things i have lined up for gg20s (on my end at least, tulli's still going strong): character designs for nyc characters (coco pommel, coloratura, suri polomare), the disney opening sequence video, more rarijack (obviously), including that one-shot fanfiction, and a daring do comic.

ty guys.

succession has always been genre-defying and convention breaking, but killing the main character 15 minutes into only the 3rd episode of the season throws all television convention out the window

which is not only a bold choice, but it’s what makes the episode so effective. almost everyone watching has said they experienced a prolonged disbelief. there’s no way. no way. and it’s not just the denial that comes with loss and death, but denial because this isn’t when you kill a character, this isn’t how you kill a character. it flies in the face of everything we know about storytelling convention. we don’t believe it. is tom joking. is logan manipulating them. where’s the body, we need to see the body. is he going to make a miraculous recovery at the end of the episode? 

and like the denial and the slow-dawning horror of realization that the kids are experiencing, we the audience experience it too. not as spectators, but as participants. because we had the rug pulled out from our Audience Expectations, just as the kids had the rug pulled out from them by The Random Suddenness of Tragedy. 

if this had been the cliffhanger at the end of an episode or a season finale—the times when you’re Allowed to kill a main character—we would have only been spectators. but by tipping storytelling convention on its head and breaking all the rules, they brought us along on that same journey of denial and disbelief. the same impossibility of it. the same confused “wait, like this?” 

it took logan’s death outside the bounds of storytelling and the safety of well-known plot beats. instead, it made us sit with the uncertainty and denial and confusion and raw grief of the random mundanity of death.
