i do get the impulse towards stoicism or whatever. "your emotions dont come from your conscious mind, but if you look closely enough, the you that suffers your emotions isnt really your conscious mind either. so whos doing the suffering? no one important prolly"

weeb con 2027 and every panel is just someone trepanning themselves on stage gibbering apelike while scrollplaying arknights genshin of victory for 5 hours, one innominate voice rings out "some of us are still anime guys you know"

going "as someone who wrote a dissertation on this" instead of posting whatever concrete sources are relevant

okay, not to be Game Mechanics Dweeb On Main,

but i still think sometimes about how viscerally spooky (yet non-graphic and non-horrifying!) the torture mechanic is in this one "witch hunt" themed LARP that i've never had a chance to play:

To torture the witch, the Accuser takes a stick from the bundle on the floor and breaks it. This represents the Witch undergoing torture. Do not describe the details of the torture in any way. The Witch must not scream, groan, or describe his reaction in any way. The Accuser must look directly at the Witch while breaking the stick. After the stick is broken, the Witch must answer in the affirmative to the next question that they are asked. In their answer, the Witch must Inquisitor exactly what he thinks the Inquisitor wants to hear. The Witch should be florid and profuse with their explanation, and should go into vivid detail. In the first two rounds, only three sticks may be broken per round. In the final round, there is no limit to the number of sticks that may be broken. If all five are broken, the Witch dies, and the game ends.

its a good book for "bringing you back to your Childhood!!" in that this process mainly involves pushing you to construct your own fantasia from incredibly sparse and lacking stimuli. thats all kids can ever do lol

tryharding is the first death. which is not to say i will never tryhard, but. the decision to start doing so should be conscious, and deliberate, and firmly circumscribed, and.. you just cant allow yourself to "fall backwards into it." its like alcoholism

the thing with tpot is also the thing with like most of the rationalists that arent on here, which is that their life, not just the routine of it but also their inner life in some sense, very importantly revolves around work/career considerations. which is fine, i do think you can be happy with that. but to me its. idk. the other side of the world

my attempts to 'cope' over my minuscule penis have led me to start a wildly successful company, make millions of dollars, bed hundreds of beautiful women, and fund a cure for cancer. sadly, i was 'coping,' which means none of that shit matters at all. time to die.

is francis of lymond a "beautiful fighting girl"? maybe not specifically, i guess i should read that book before throwing its term around. either way theres sort of a throughline between the way lymond is drawn and the way a lot of martial, self-possessed anime girls are drawn. the way their strength is portrayed, and then the way their vulnerability is portrayed, and the switch between the two, and what the switch is meant to evoke. etc
