#I'm talking mental emotional

[princeoftherunaways]

Did anyone else experience a kind of psychological warfare unlike anything else in community theater as a kid. Or was it just me.

[luna-loveboop]

I want. Four to get appreciation. Because

Four gave a ton of unnoticed help when Twilight was injured

The fight with Wild was difficult, and I know we're all concerned about his negative view of the shadow crystal

But Four did something that no one else really thought of to help- He took care of Twi's stuff

From the beginning he told Twilight to not worry about them

So Four took care of pretty much everything but the others (that Sky and Wars handled)

He took care of Epona

Which is so very important- he took care of Twilight's horse. After her arrival at the stable Four followed up on her

And for Epona, a horse so attached to her human, having some company can help so much for reassurance

He took care of Twilight's stuff

He got Twi's shield- his bags and equipment, and organized it into one place

And he was worried. He obviously found the shadow crystal while handling Twi's stuff, but his negative reactions to it were out of concern.

Also- because of his placement in this scene

I'm fairly convinced Four was ready to start cooking before Wild showed up (since he's beside the counter with food supplies). At the very least he had the basket of fruit out for everyone -but he was literally standing with food behind him- he thought of everything

And he did housekeeping!

Wars payed for the inn, so Four took care of the inn

Realistically these boys were probably not too concerned with tidyness. Four got all of Twi's things on one table, and took care of the room they stayed in

Organizing tables and Twi's things, having food supplies ready, and opening the curtains- overall he was the one tidying up the inn

Four helped in a huge way! He took care of Twi's horse (Epona is so important), his equipment and shield and bag, as well as the other rooms in the inn

Four filled in all the little tasks that others didn't think of. He helped in ways that were needed, but not obvious

There's a lot of problems with the shadow crystal and with Wild, and I don't know what's gonna happen in the future

But don't forget this- don't forget that Four was one who stepped up in an almost unnoticeable way

Don't forget that when everyone was barely holding it together, Four visited Twilight's horse and took care of his things

No matter what develops in the future- this amount of care shown is important ya know?

he makes me so crazy. most repressed man in the world chooses a career that encourages and feeds his repression and within that career enforces professionalism to the upmost

[the-algebra-thing]

runaans character is sooo sososo fascinating to me. and I don't even see much more of myself in him than I do any other character that's not the draw. there's just something so compelling to me about how it must all fit together for him: his massive respect for all life/talented assassin career thing from bloodmoon huntress, and his relationship to rayla, and her parents, and his prejudice against all humans, etc. and I feel that this is all going to come together to form such an interesting mindset to study/internal conflict in general in season 7. the idea that he's been gone—half-living trapped in an altered state of consciousness utterly corrupted by an insane depth of love twisted into gut-wrenching guilt, at that—for the two years in which elves and humans have begun to try to coexist for the first time in centuries, missed all that time and gradual change completely & dumped into a completely new political landscape, contrasted with his position as king killer, contrasted yet again with his position as father to one of the most relevant and devoted catalysts to this world-bending change is going to blow up in his face sooo bad as soon as he puts on his slutty little shirt and starts listening to the story. and I think the entire thing is just the most uniquely enthralling quagmire I've ever encountered

okay, I'm crowdsourcing advice for a minute, so bear with me and please lend some words if you have any:

I want to get out of the house more. Like, on a regular basis. Weekly, maybe. Preferably, I would like to be interacting with people—the same people—every time, for... like... accountability, but also because I am hoping to put myself out there as the 21st century's most neurotic platonic Casanova. Uh. Making a friend or more out of this would be desirable. But I think if I go out with the intention of making a friend, I will be disappointed.

So. I want to go do something, for that something's own sake. I don't want to go be fake once a week hoping to get a friend out of it.

However, the beautiful state of Iowa is a bit cultureless, and I am too introverted and easily overwhelmed for this world (e.g. going to bars is probably not gonna be my thing). So.... I guess.... any suggestions? opinions? thoughts on making friends in general, or finding good activities as an introverted adult, in general?

oh yeah, also: I am poor. that's a factor. so. signing up a class or similar is not a great option right now.

what the heck, I'll add a silly poll for fun:

[shikai-the-storyteller]

I'm not a huge fan of the Tazercraft mental link headcanon (it's just not my cup of tea personally), HOWEVER—

I can't stop thinking about Pac in Alcatraz with his back to the wall as Cell approaches him with a cold smile on his face and a bloody knife in one hand, and Pac completely blocking Mike out because he knows something terrible is about to happen, and if he can't save himself then maybe he can at least spare Mike the graphic gory details.

And even when he’s lying on the cold concrete floor in a pool of his own blood, Pac is still trying to block everything out so he doesn't project his pain to Mike through their mental link. But ultimately, that's what scares Mike the most — the sharp flash of Pac's terror for an instant, and then silence.

"I simply can't communicate my needs-" learn how to.

"I'm bad at communicating my feelings-" learn it then.

"I constantly lose friends because I don't keep up with them-" make an effort.

"I just have terrible emotional regulation-" self-reflect. Get better.

"Sorry I'm always late-" improve your time management strategies.

"Everytime I meet this person they make me feel awful-" don't meet them anymore. I know it's hard, do it anyway.

"My relationship with my partner is suffering because I never talk to them about what I need and want-" they can't read your mind. Learn to talk.

If you are an adult, you can learn how to handle your own feelings. Sit down, write it down, self-reflect, make strategies. Seek change. Better yourself.

Weaponized emotional incompetence, where you expect people around you to handle your issues without ever trying to change, isn't the way to go. You have agency, use it.

[wanderingblindly]

So like, the no homo guide. Amazing. Spectacular. Pls tell me there will be more?? It doesn’t have to be smut! Just these two being in a relationship and being silly about it.

Ahhhhhhhh I'm so glad you liked the series!!! So first and foremost, thank you a million times over for taking the time to send some love <3333 it means the absolute world.

I'm notoriously bad at staying focused on what I'm meant to be writing (looking at you, WIP folder with 44k words in it), so I can't really guarantee anything at all! That said, I also wouldn't count it out completely.

The issue with adding to universes, sometimes, is creating a new Conflict. I can write them being stupid and cute all day long, but there needs to be something to move the fic forward, you know? And that's harder to come by than adorable landoscar moments to spin into fics.

All that to say: if it happens, it happened! I'm keeping my mind open <3

Idk why I never realized it, but Suwon is quite similar to Arjuna, one of the heroes of an epic from our country..

Maybe one day I'll write a post about it...

There is a saying here, if you want to accomplish your goal, make sure to only see the bird's eye( basically your end goal) and not other things, just like Arjuna saw.

To accomplish something, it is important that you put all your focus on the task and prioritize only that.

Suwon, too, is known to keep his eyes only on the main goal...

But that's not all..

Arjuna had to raise weapons against his loved ones and his brothers. He could not bear it. He could not bear to fight against his own kin. He wanted to give up because he did not wish to live with the blood of his own on his hands.

He was then reminded of his 'duty' as a warrior. About his responsibilities and how he must fulfill them. He must not be worried about who he's fighting against because, as a warrior, his duty is to fight.

He is also told to do his duty without being attached to its results, that is, whether he wins or loses, lives or dies, whatever the consequence is, he must not care about it, because he is not 'entitled' to the fruits of his actions.

Now, of course, Suwon wanted to avenge his father, I'm not denying that, but also, he did not succumb to his desire of getting revenge. He waited, and he gave Il a chance to see if he could rule properly. But I think it's definitely apparent that he does not desire the throne. He wishes to improve the condition of his kingdom, his country that his father loved so much. Now, one might say that it's because he knows that he has the crimson illness. He knows he's fated to die early, so what's the point? But even before that, we see that Suwon only wanted to stand beside his father and fight on the battlefield and wanted to give up his life for him someday. He did what he had to. Was it the only way? Was it the right thing to do? Was it right to severe the bonds he held so close to his heart? These are questions only he could answer, I guess. But was it right to let the kingdom fall into shambles? Was it right to let so many people die for the sake of a mere God's prophecy? I believe the answer is no.

Edit: okay, I removed character and replaced it with hero, because, Arjuna was a hero. And I'll let you all know that he was never condemned for performing his duty. In fact, to this day, he is revered as one of the greatest warriors.

So in case you want to know why I like him sm, here's the answer to it.

And, Wei Wuxian once said, "Let the self judge the right and wrong, let others decide to praise or to blame. Let the gains and losses remain uncommented on."

He did what he thought was necessary. Whether we like it or not is, of course, up to us, but in my case, I like him, so there's that. Regarding Hak and Yona, things could've been different, but I still stand by the fact that it's the responsibility of all three of them, not just him. And the text does try to tell us that he is not a cold and uncaring person. He cares for his friends. I still believe if the three of them try to, they could find a better path.

[byanyan]

byan being extremely defensive of their substance abuse habits. byan being so very familiar with being looked down upon for drinking & doing drugs that they're terrified of those they've let close thinking less of them for for it. they've been kicked out of homes for it. they've been suspended & expelled from schools over it. they've had nasty things said and done to them because of it. it's only natural that they anticipate the worst from even those most important to them, so they tend to take steps to hide it where, around anyone else, they might instead broadcast it.

byan, upon being found out by someone close to them, getting either aggressively defensive or becoming a sobbing, apologizing mess.

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that

[aho-dapa]

This fandom is honestly...

Like, there is something to be said about fandoms in general and how they've changed as a whole generally but

There's also something about how the acotar fandom is especially toxic like

The idea that a post is surprised a murder hasn't happened yet and I found myself agreeing??? Is honestly telling

Like, also. A massive part of this is shipping and maybe it's because I have my corner of this fandom, but even then shipping the "wrong" thing in general has become something I honestly have to take in consideration when thinking of my mental health and if I can personally be prepared for any backlash??

This fandom at large doesn't feel safe and that's majorly concerning tbh

Maybe instead of saying shippers as a group are doing harm, we should just disavow harmful actions in general and not be complicit in it idk???
