maybe we're not there yet, but the Grief and Loss Dynamics in Worlds Beyond Number are so devastating
suvi's commitment to hierarchy and knowledge so clearly shows how a child will internalize grief and trauma as something that can be avoided, if only they can control things and know better
ame's light and sweetness so painfully feels like the kind of grief that you hold onto that tricks you into believing it won't hurt so bad if you just don't look backwards -- for all her commitment to both worlds, to honoring the past and forging the future, ame still walks through the world with more items anyone could conceivably carry so that she never has to leave anything (anyone) behind
and eursulon -- oh, baby, eursulon. eursulon reminds me so clearly of what grief and trauma does to the way someone moves in the world when they know, bone deep, that their own skin and their own fear are the only things they can count on -- that joy is a thing meant to leave and it's not something you can design your life around
I know it's just a podcast -- but I just...have a lot of feelings

i love private practice. it was simultaneously way more infuriating and way more interesting than greys a lot of the time. BUT lately i’ve been thinking of all the potential there was to keep addison in greys after season three. like, i get it. there really wasn’t a lot for her in seattle. she moved there for derek and the whole reconciliation imploded and then she had two i’ll advised rebound messes. but i think there was SO much they could have done with addison, mark, derek, and meredith all orbiting around each other in the same place in the wreckage of all their messy relationships. like, the post divorce dynamic with all of them was so weird and so good. they totally could have developed that further. and even if in 2007, the network and the writers were massive cowards and never would’ve done meredith/addison, that friendship could have been so fun to watch. plus with all the new characters they ended up bringing in, they could’ve done something really interesting with addison’s romantic prospects.

very importrant oc diagram
more in depth descriptions of this stuff below ig
omg same trauma - sympathy and respect but also acknowledging youre not the same. propably the most normal out of the three options. you know very intimate stuff about this person but you have never met and its weird. you live your life normally but sometimes you wonder what it would be like to meet him
i will never be as cool - constantly comparing yourself to him to the point a big chunk of your personality still revolves around your connection to him (in ryous case this is mixed with seeing shiro as a sort of idealised perfect father figure despite never having interacted with the guy before)(its really weird and he tries to be secretive abt it but the others knows anyway)(like kiddo they can tell)(youre not subtle at all). he is soooo good and so pure and perfect and you will never live up to that no matter how hard you try. there must be something wrong with you
gender dysphoria - what it says on the tin. you have this guys memories and voice and body and face and it makes you want to scream and cry and kill him and bury his body in the woods so nobody can ever find it
(also to clear things up this diagram and the explanations are written from a point in the timeline before the whole 'stickbug gets mind controlled' thing so the clones havent met shiro yet)(also also obv this is pretty simplified)

I'm so tired of double vision!! I'm gonna need my neuro-ophthalmologist appointment to hurry up and get here (I say as if there's anything they can do about it 🙄)
Sorry I'm always complaining about this. It's very frustrating, but typing this out makes me feel a little less alone about it hahaha

i’m so sad tonight lol. i wish my family was stable again. i wish my friends weren’t always busy and wanted to spend time together as much as we used to. i wish all the good things i have left didn’t feel so fragile and impermanent. i feel too anxious to trust anything fully. like if i get too comfortable something bad will happen to me
