OBVIOUSLY i care abt chainshipping deeply and i believe something quite lgbt happened to those men in that bathroom. BUT if im being so honest, if i put down my gay delusion for a moment, i think that Lawrence would do absolutely everything in his power to get Alison back before he would ever let himself think about Adam in anyway even remotely romantic.

and like the keyword here is 'let' right, like those thoughts would for sure creep in, but i think he would ignore them as best he could at first. i mean he's married, and not only is he married, but he just spent hours trapped in a bathroom thinking about how much he does actually love his wife and how much he took her for granted. thats why he cut off his leg so that he could try to save her and his daughter. on top of that, if he was committed enough to decide not to go through with cheating on her BEFORE the bathroom trap, why on earth would he just let her go afterwards.

i do think that Alison left him after everything. i think that even before Lawrence gets all weird and creepy (said affectionately) from working with Jigsaw, that she would leave him. she clearly wasnt happy before any of this happened, and when she and Diana needed him the most he failed to protect them.

but i dont for a second think that Lawrence just accepts that. i think he would try, and fail, to convince Alison to stay and that he loves her and that he's sorry. he would have to sit with that failure and with that structural loss to his life for a while before he would let Adam in.

We all know as a fandom Aleksander has trauma, a lot of it too. What are your opinions on him possibly having PTSD, and what would the most likely event(s) be to have caused it given who he is and where he comes from?

⚠️TW: PTSD! Suicide! Depression!⚠️

Unfortunately we know almost nothing of his past to say for certain. We only know about the events of "Demon in the Wood" which showed us how he placed trust on someone and then he got betrayed. We also saw how he couldn't touch somebody but he craved companionship and affection. The fact that he experienced first-hand how others were willing to kill him and others too to claim his bones, shook him.

From that event alone it's almost certain that he decided to alienate himself from the Grisha even more. No more childish games, no more trust, just acquaintances. And, as a result, he became touch-started and suspicious of others.

And let's not forget how he repeatedly lost lovers and friends. Events that could cause him depression and trauma.

As for the PTSD subject, we need to look if he had any of the following symptoms (the symptoms that are colored red are those that I think he did have):

Recurrent, unwanted distressing memories of the traumatic event

Reliving the traumatic event as if it were happening again (flashbacks)

Upsetting dreams or nightmares about the traumatic event

Severe emotional distress or physical reactions to something that reminds you of the traumatic event

Trying to avoid thinking or talking about the traumatic event (he probably tried to erase the event)

Avoiding places, activities or people that remind you of the traumatic event

Negative thoughts about yourself, other people or the world (in RoW he seemed to have a total lack of pleasure for returning back to the world. Of course he got resurrected from a person he disliked and then he got tortured as well but his view of the world, and of other people, was utterly pragmatic, sarcastic, bleak and gloomy)

Hopelessness about the future

Memory problems, including not remembering important aspects of the traumatic event

Difficulty maintaining close relationships (now that I believe came after he repeatedly lost his lovers. By R&R I don't think he could be able to be in a healthy relationship even if he tried)

Feeling detached from family and friends

Lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed

Difficulty experiencing positive emotions

Feeling emotionally numb (after his many losses he got willingly detached)

Being easily startled or frightened

Always being on guard for danger

Self-destructive behavior, such as drinking too much or driving too fast

Trouble sleeping

Trouble concentrating

Irritability, angry outbursts or aggressive behavior

Overwhelming guilt or shame

All in all, I believe that from the very little we have seen of him he suffered mostly from melancholic depression and PTSD but not in a severe form. Because he didn't seem to have trouble in thinking and reacting, having weight problems or feelings of self-hate and hopelessness or suicide thoughts.

if a psychiatrist ever pisses you off remember that there is a high likelihood they were once a neurotypical psych major, which explains everything

“oh yeah haha hua cheng was making out with me when i came back from watching my co worker get fucking decapitated because he was trying to suck out the spiritual power he lent to me & bring me back home— that is the most effective way, after all! haha yeah also i kept exchanging saliva with him even after i returned…to try to take it back! yeah! haha!”

Colonel, this man sustained a head wound in an foxhole in an active war zone from a shelling attempt by his own army not even 12 fucking hours ago.

My HC that TKB is basically homeless and sleeps in tombs when he's not riding out to the Kul Elna ruins or getting kicked out of every inn in Waset continues to be validated apace.

i find it really annoying when people can't acknowledge Mike's survivor's guilt cause like you could literally choose from multiple situations

s1? will went missing was presumed dead and then El sacrificed herself to save him and everyone else

s2? the massacre at the lab, Bob dying who he knew personally

s3? the mind flayer and then Billy dying

s4? the unknown agent man dying to save them

but no he totally does not have survivor's guilt literally why would he right there's no reason for him to have it

Oh yeah about the tags you left on my reblog about the Omori spoilers it's soooo funny when people are like "why didn't they call the police and say it was an accident" a) the fact that they Moved Her Body means that it doesn't look like one anymore b) moving her body makes sense when they thought she was still alive because it's not until someone has a bad fall and really hurts themself do you realize how fragile the human body is and c) those two 12 year olds are so mentally ill even before the incident and they all clearly have Major Issues™️ (especially Basil) that the conclusion/"solution" they ended up coming to just. Makes so much sense in a really messed up way. Sometimes when a death happens, even accidental, avoiding consequences the best someone can is really the only road they have if they even want to attempt to go back to living a normal life (even if that attempt has a 99% chance of failure)

those are literal children who have been presented with a freshly dead elder sister of course they are going to make different decisions than to older people who are completely removed from the situation entirely

On Tonight's Episode of, "Jessica Watches the CSI Franchise 20 Years Too Late":

Imagine all the storylines that would have never happened if all of the police precincts had mandatory therapy after a traumatic event.

Like...did they not think that Flack would probably have PTSD from his gf dying in his arms? And then straight-up murdering her killer? And then immediately getting shot at in a drive-by? And then watching one of his friends become temporarily paralyzed after getting shot at during said drive-by?

Because if he did go to therapy, it did not work.

OH AND...the way that Mac just lets Flack back on the case after the events of "Don Flack and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" because Flack said he was sorry and it would never happen again? Yeah, okay.
