Is Anxiety the villain in Inside out 2?
First, let's get something straight:
These. Are. Emotions. Not. Persons.
Here's the thing, Fear isn't about being scared, nor Disgust is about being disgusted, nor Sadness is about being sad, and etc...
Sadness is about sympathy, understanding and listening and offering comfort
Embarrassment is about being careful not to draw attention, feeling ashamed, exposed, even regretful
Anger is about needing justice, feeling mad when someone does something that bothers you
Fear is about protecting, not just being scared
Disgust is about avoiding toxicity, physically and socially
Ennui is about irritation, pointlessness, feeling empty
Envy is about not feeling complete, feeling like everyone is better than you and you're lacking something
Now, to Anxiety.
I don't think you people know what anxiety is. Anxiety is a complex and misunderstood condition. It's more than just feeling stressed or worried; anxiety can be an overwhelming sense of dread that something bad is going to happen, even if there's no clear reason for that feeling. It's a state of being that can affect one's entire perception of the world, making everyday tasks seem daunting. Playing hockey, in Riley's case, is proof of that. That's her favorite sport we're talking about and all of a sudden it's a competition, an exhausting one
Anxiety often also manifests as a deep-seated need to maintain control over one's environment or circumstances. It's a relentless whisper in the head, suggesting that if things are not managed just so, something terrible may occur
And what did Anxiety do? Just that - took control
However, anxiety isn't that bad when it's controlled. It can actually be quite beneficial, serving as a catalyst for action and a motivator for change. Controlled anxiety can sharpen focus, enhance creativity, and even drive efficiency. It's like an internal alarm system, a gentle reminder of forgotten stuff
Like what happened in the end
Now, to Joy
Joy is great because it makes us feel happy and full of energy. But, it's not always perfect. Sometimes, if we're too happy, we might not want to try new things or be ready for when bad times come. Also, if we keep trying to be happy all the time, we might end up feeling sad because being happy all the time is hard. Which is what happened to Riley in the first movie
Joy, like a bright light, can sometimes overshadow other parts of our experiences. It's not that it erases parts of ourselves, but rather, it can make us temporarily forget the challenges and complexities that shape who we are. When we're caught up in a moment of joy, it's easy to overlook the lessons we've learned from difficult times. However, these aspects of our identity are not lost; they're simply out of focus. Once the intensity of joy dims, the rest of our experiences can come back into view. But with no joy to ease them, other emotions kick in, especially anxiety
Now, what's the case here? It's simple, really
The case is that Riley couldn't control her anxiety. Why? She wasn't complete, not yet, she didn't know what she wanted. But in the end, she embraced herself, all of herself, then she managed to control her emotions
Thaaaaat's it! Hope you guys liked it! As usual, feel free to add or comment on anything!

Shallan will find out that Jasnah Kholin has been waiting outside of her hospital room for days, forsaking all of her research just so that she could visit Shallan the second she was allowed to do so, and she’ll still be like “Jasnah probably actually hates me 😔”
#Shallan Davar is a creature made of anxiety and mental trauma#which makes Jasnah want to scoop her up and add her to her collection and take care of her#unfortunately Jasnah is a creature of different kinds of anxiety and mental trauma#and also has a negative ability modifier when it comes to expressing her emotions and feelings#which also unfortunately means that Shallan (creature of anxiety and mental trauma)#doesn’t pick up on all the 10000 things Jasnah does to try to show affection#because she can’t just outright tell Shallan she likes her#which is actually the one thing Shallan needs her to do#they’re a mess your honor#Jasnah Kholin#Shallan Davar#Stormlight archive#Cosmere

I keep getting messages asking me if my header picture is me and I say yes because it is BUT I feel very guilty because I'm wearing a TON of makeup, much more than I usually do and even a bit of eyelid tape to alter my appearance so here are some minimal makeup selfies 👉👈 (I'm wearing mascara in the first and eyeliner/lip gloss in the second.) My haircolor is also fake (I'm naturally brunette) and I sometimes wear colored circle lenses. To the 4 (!!!!!) girlies who messaged me so far that have made comparisons between my appearance and their own with a very unfavorable opinion of their own I promise I do not look like that picture 99.999999% of the time and in real life I am pretty plain and unremarkableand it is very possible that I would wish I looked like you if I saw you. 🙈
#im feeling really vupnerable making this post rn but i care more about not perpetrating girls' negative self image through comparison#than i care about impressing people with a false image of myself 🙈#i will probably delete this later because I dont have a good feeling about posting it but maybe it is just anxiety idk idk idk#you're all hot ok#mine

So, according to the background lore, while growing up on Kamino, if the clones had any bouts of anger or frustration, they were put into the "retraining tank" which was essentially isolation. And at some point, this just kinda manifests in the clones in not being able to express their negative feelings properly, and either pushing them down or dealing with them by isolating themselves, because those two things are the only things they know how to do that somewhat work.
The Jedi help with this, of course. They teach their men how to meditate, how to express themselves, how to deal with their negative feelings and also let them go and not let them fester, and how the clones adopt this part of their conduct as well. Meditation becomes almost mandatory. It's not strictly enforced by the Jedi, but it is enforced by the Commanders and the rest of the men, especially when Shinies come from Kamino.
(Bail and Breha have such a good and healthy way of communicating with each other that by now, when they have disagreements, they are able to work through them by talking about it and expressing their feelings to each other.
And then they have a first bigger disagreement with Fox, and Fox just. Up and leaves. And he goes to sit somewhere by himself and then comes back like it's fine let's carry on whatever else we were doing before this. And he just does this. Every time he is angry or frustrated or otherwise upset he just gets up and leaves because he doesn't know what else to do. He doesn't know what to say. He has to leave because otherwise he doesn't know what he is going to do and that scares him)
#not being able to express your negative feelings leading up to being a perfectionist and having anxiety? oh wow not projecting at all-#not having any middle ground. either there are no emotions or there are all the emotions#because how you do just a little bit emotions when you haven't learned to do any#sw#tcw#clone troopers#Commander Fox#bail/breha/fox#sorry for putting them in this again but just to illustrate that fox doesn't have a jedi#he gets therapy tho#so much therapy

youre not allowed to b a freak loser loner anymore or at least youre not allowed to mention it lol. even like five years ago you could talk about being awkward and socially weird around meeting new people but now if you do that eveeryones like "ok edgelord you are deliberately cutting yourself off from community why are you so obsessed with being alone. you all need to go outside and make real friends you are too online." which like yes obviously but why is eveyrone acting like the only two options are you either a) have a load of friends or b) you don't want them??? it is so weird. to be seen trying & failing has become so taboo that people assume if you're alone it's because you want to be and youre trying to be cool & aloof or else you see things like small talk or reaching out to people as "emotional labour" and choose not to do them. like i am not fucking choosing not to do them i literally try to do them every day and find it very hard and then you tell me i can't even joke about that struggle or being a lonely friendless loser to maybe for one second make light of the bottomless pit of disconnect + loneliness i experience every day without someone blaming me for not putting myself out there. idk
#as i'm typing this i'mrealising maybe this is an autism problem. like to feel completely separated from the social world by this pane of#thick glass your whole life and then to hear people say it's a you problem that you need to fix if you don't want to be alone forever#idk just that post going around about small talk 'i have social anxiety' 'then suck it up and learn how to interact with people!' like??#arent we trying to do that already??? i'm sorry that being percieved as a social reject freak my whole life might have negatively affected#my ability to reach out to people? it just feels mean spirited lol. idk. anyway

Okay but the confirmation that the Granddaughter is supposed to have reached a state of tranquility and detachment but hasn't, and is instead aggressively and desperately shoving down all of their emotions without being able to excise them has sent them to the top of my faves list immediately.
I'm also really looking forward to seeing if the Fold wizard on deck survives whatever just happened, because I would love to find out if all Granddaughters have actually excised their emotions, or if in reality, they're supposed to be practicing tranquility but don't actually have a grasp on that until later, after their Realization. I would not be surprised to learn, especially after Artifice's whisper last episode, that this is something of an initiatory secret that isn't meant to be fully understood until later, once Realization has been had.
#as a long time spock fan. character type of all time.#yes please give me the anxiety and self doubt and feelings of failure beneath the utterly calm and controlled exterior YESSSS#honestly i think a lot of people dont take kindly to that kind of initiation cuz it can cause negative internal issues but#ngl i do like it. i do think knowledge exists that simply must be experienced to know#that cannot be conveyed before someone is ready for it and must be obscured in some way#even if it is harder to deal with in the short term#LIS student has opinions about forms of knowledge? shocker#unend spoilers#midst spoilers#unend#midst podcast#the granddaughter#midst meta

There is a galaxy existing inside of my mind. I wish I could express what I feel in a way that could be easily understood. No matter how much I speak or how much I write, I fear no one will ever know what I experience inside my own head.
#I don’t even mean this in a negative way.#sometimes it is so beautiful#the most beautiful experience being me#but sometimes it is very dark#I don’t know how to say what I feel#I don’t know how to express it#me#mental health#neurodivergence#audhd#anxiety#adhd#autism#bipolar

I've been anxious for so long and so brave about it this year and I'm really hoping it will allow me to not have to brave for a while because. jesus fucking christ
#that job i had in july? i left it in august because i finally decided to do something i want to do#and not wait until i convince myself that something is 'good enough'#my anxiety was so bad during those two months. which was a shame because my boss was lovely and the place was pretty nice#but i made the first brave decision in a very long time and left to look for a job i'm passionate about#and my boss was so great because when they were saying goodbye she said in front of everyone that#she's sure some people there admired my bravery to just leave and pursue my dreams#and i could have cried right there and then it was so good to hear?????? i can't make brave choices and my anxiety is a bitch#so when she said that i was just. SO touched#and yeah an opportunity came along and i'm going to be working as an editor starting later this week!#so fingers crossed that i'm going to be less anxious and my brain won't ruin this for me because it's a really really nice opportunity#and i want to squeeze as much as i can from it without my brain getting in the way and making me see just the negatives until i get out#in general i just really REALLY want to stop feeling like a hunted animal in everyday situations. here's to getting there someday#it's mine my own my precious#not lotr

once again drowning in s4 anxiety. what if they made unrequited ted/trent canon. i would honestly rather them just leave it to implications then outright do an unrequited gay love plotline.
#p l e a s e .#gertspeak#s4 anxiety#<- gonna start tagging that if you wanna filter this out#i dont have all negativity feelings but i have many many fear

The trans experience of getting lucky with a new primary care provider who doesn't care about your transness or transition so long as you're getting the proper care
Manifesting this for every trans person because I finally felt like a normal human being going to a doctor
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#transphobia#transphobia tw#i have avoided doctors for like... four years now because of how awful they are toward trans people 🤩 (sarcastic star-eyes emoji)#i thought i didn't have anxiety anymore until i made a first appointment with this new primary care provider i have...#...and when they were doing my vitals and got to the blood pressure screen i was shaking (which i normally am tbf)#i will be fair and say i have had more negative experiences with mental health providers though#but since i've avoided doctor-doctors i haven't had the time TO have negative experiences#my dad was actually really kind and asked if my doctor tried being transphobic and i realized... NO! he didn't even try!#my dad's first question was if dr. [redacted] tried to talk me out of testosterone and i was like shit... no he didn't!!#and i felt like a normal person seeing the doctor albeit with a lot of anxiety but i was treated normally :)#it feels SO nice after feeling like a lab rat or like in the movies where a psychiatrist comes out to explain what transsexuality#explain what transsexuality is*

So this:
Leads to this:
Which leads to this:
Which allows vecna to do this:
Right? Right………. So then this:
Leads to this:
Which leads to:
???????????????? 👀👀👀👀👀
Will has had powers.
#will has powers#no - he had powers. he probably displayed them when he got taken in to the upside down. and vecna wanted those powers. so he took them.#this also opens up to the possibility he could get them back somehow. with el it was through memories of her mom when she was born. love.#when she relived her younger self opening the gate for the first time through the power of love#so Will could get his back through strong feelings of love. just saying.#stranger things predictions#stranger things theories#byler#byler tumblr#so the cool kids can find this 😌#I HAVE ANOTHER THING TO SAY!!! Els powers are strong from negative emotions - hatred. anger. vengeance.#but they’re even more powerful from feelings of love - familial and platonic love (mama. hopper. max. etc)#so if Will did show his powers to vecna (accidentally) when he got taken then those would have been from his most common negative emotion#fear#El is anger. hatred. will is fear. anxiety.#so will will get his powers to their fullest strength only with Love. romantic love. feeling wanted. useful.#familial/friend love was something El needed in her life and she against all odds managed to find it#she got the love she desperately needed and deserved (not romantic like the Melvin’s seem to think)#will has all that in buckets. he has friends who love him. the best mom and brother anyone could wish for. but he feels unworthy of love.#feels like all the bad things that happened to him were deserved. so him receiving and accepting what he desperately needs and deserves#will fully unlock his powers - if he has them.#thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Day 3 of not sleeping: Didn't have any nightmares, thank god(I had a very long and involved One Piece dream??), but I tossed and turned and woke up a bunch and def didn't get anywhere near enough sleep. I'm awake now but I feel like completely shit, no migraines yet at least but I have a feeling that's going to change soon. Idk how tf I used to live like this.
#this is why I suspect my insomnia isnt just a c-ptsd thing#bcs even the nights where I dont have nightmares or anxiety I just Don't Sleep#doesn't matter how tired I feel#god I hate this#personal#negative#vent#ask to tag
