As the world grapples with the ever-evolving variants of the virus, the question on everyone’s mind is whether the COVID school years will return. Despite the optimism of public health officials and the reassurances regarding the efficacy of tests and vaccines against new variants, a critical examination…

Friendly (or unfriendly if you're against this) reminder that this blog is supportive of ALL disorders. This blog does not think ANY disorder inherently makes someone a bad person, and is against any disorder being demonized. This blog wholeheartedly believes that a bad person having a disorder, yes, even if things that are also symptoms of their disorder are part of what caused harm, does not make the disorder a "bad" or "evil" disorder or excuse ableism and demonization directed towards the disorder.

Yes this includes personality disorders

Including npd and aspd

Yes this includes all psychotic disorders & disorders that cause psychotic symptoms

Yes this includes paraphilic disorders. All of them.

Yes this includes disorders that cause, or are even characterized by, attention seeking

Yes this includes disorders that directly have lying as a common symptom

Yes this includes dissociative disorders

Yes this includes any disorder with "gross" symptoms

Yes this includes physical disorders too

Yes this includes disorders that can cause loss of control of any kind- control of speech, control of body movement, etc.

Yes tis includes disorders that make someone "look scary"

This goes for literally any fucking disorder. There are not exceptions.

im seeing a lot of holden haters on the catcher in the rye tag again so id like to tap the sign

huge if true but painkillers being the basal structure of the show also makes a lot of sense to me like ur in pain (woe) so you huff ether, which gives way to frolic, then the experience is over so dread, followed by life seeping into you again so malice (hence ether as the 'sweet oil of vitriol) and the whole cycle starts over...that becomes the way you experience life hence the 4 tempers -> which would also make sense for the expansive function of severance as a painkiller (going from work-specific to eventually eliminating any painful or unsavoury experience entirely) and how that would or could be marketed since lumon is fundamentally a big pharma company

Also great how people had assumed that the shot in the trailer of Mark gorging down on a plate of food hunched over the table would be innie Mark thanks to reintegration, so hungry from only eating office snacks and experiencing diverse and intense flavors for the first time. Turns out it was good ol' outie Mark. Just chompin away looking like a sad wet and starving stray animal as per usual<3 exactly the way things should be

i am really really excited to see how severance approaches mark and gemma’s relationship in season 3. like eventually we have to get out of the severed floor and confront this, right? so then it becomes a thing of … how will mark’s two years of grief and change be turned on its head by the fact that she was alive the whole time?

what becomes of their relationship when they spent two years of it apart, with mark fully thinking she was dead? how does that fuck with his brain to do such a rapid 180? and how does gemma feel about the way he is now - because, of course, their reunion is sweet and beautiful and potentially one of my favorite scenes in the entire show so far, but they were together as themselves for maybe two minutes before severance ripped them away from each other again?

i wonder if love transcending severance is something that can be applied to this in a more general sense … does their love transcend the two years of grief and heartbreak and trauma and torture they endured… i really wonder how they will approach this psychologically and i look forward to it but also worry for them :(

why is every diagnosis of mental illness so connected to other things. Dont tell me its because diagnoses are just groupings of symptoms that often overlap and are impacted by one another and are not ontologically pure conditions that exist in isolation. Give me a different answer like The vitamin that controls mental illnesses is the same for all types and you are deficient

Ok let me rant a little bit

I get so so fucking pissed off when I see people say shit like

"oh I, a minor, have been into Outlast since I was a little kid because I've been so desensitized to gore and the games content! Haha it doesn't bother me."

Like ok?? Cool?? Not the flex you think it is. Like this is coming from someone who also first saw outlast when I was literally still in elementary school. And I was exposed to a lot of irl gore as a child due to my siblings showing me that stuff as well as classmates. And I'd be so lying if I said it didn't damage me in the long run. And I wish I hadn't seen any of it, even though I love outlast now.

Please stop "flexing" about how you're not bothered about gore anymore or have the "the-youngest-outlast-fan"-olympics. As an adult it just straight up makes me really uncomfortable 💀

And as a reminder: you're not "weak" or a "coward" for being scared or disturbed because of a literal horror game when you're a child. Or an adult, for that matter. "Oh but when I was a kid I was terrified!" Yes. That's. Normal? Don't make yourself feel bad about it, ever.

Lord, some of your prettiest girls are paying me money to jerk off about them, and then sending me free porn of themselves getting off to what they paid me to do, and I don't know what happened to make them like this but-

Lord. When I fucking find you. You will pay for every single fucking bad thing that happened to these girls that they'll pay me to moan into a microphone and tell them what good girls they are. You will suffer for the things you let happen to these gorgeous angels. You will bleed and you will die and you will know.

The world does not deserve these wonderful, sweet, talented, incredible creatures with bruised hearts and aching cunts. And these incredible creatures do not deserve the bruised hearts the world gave them.

Lord, I am going to kill you, and you will know these are not your prettiest girls anymore. They are mine, and I will watch over them.

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

"2. I feel like this would be a legitimate fucked up dream since his (Rook) dreams of you are always filled with persistent guilt. So I'll just leave this one to your imagination lmaO"

Do you think you'll ever elaborate on that? I'm curious NGL, but I've also never seen anyone in the if (or adjacent) community mention one of the ROs having fucked up dreams about the MC or in general... And as someone who also have fucked up dreams, this feels very? Refreshing? In a way?? Like. Yeah man, I get it✊ and YOU get me too🫵

I have mentioned Rook's nightmares in general in his backstory! (The body and the blood on his hands is MC's during the nightmare sequence). I'll definitely get into it more in game, though! The specifics of those nightmares do change slightly based on your relationship with him tho (past and present).
