#How to goodbye depression
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
There is a brutal contrast in how Megatron and Optimus's stories end. Optimus nobly surrenders his spark, along with the Matrix of Leadership, having been sent off by his dear and trusted friends after giving them a fond farewell. He has accomplished his life's greatest goal; now he is able to rest. He dies willingly, at peace, bringing hope and giving life to the next generation by restoring the Allspark.
Megatron had already been killed, and was told that he can never join that very Allspark. Having been enslaved, and only released because of Optimus's actions, he is now reanimated, inhabiting his own corpse. His only remaining ally, who has constantly betrayed him, does not understand him. He flies off, alone, having lost all his forces and failed in his mission, and realizing that his life's greatest purpose was misguided. He is left, we can only assume, to live a hellish and hopeless life--a shell, consumed by the past.
And he did not tell Optimus goodbye. He knows that Optimus will leave him behind, will obtain the heaven he can never enter. He gives him the parting gift of his repentance, to acknowledge this. But in his refusal to say farewell, there is an echo of his own wretched endurance. He does not get to rest. Megatron will remain, eternally alone--eternally waiting for a reunion that will never come.
#transformers prime#transformers#megatron#optimus prime#megop#meta#megoptimus#depressing post alert...#just finished watching the predacons rising movie and i was feeling so many things so i had to inflict them on you#just. megatron leaving and KNOWING that optimus will leave him. you can tell in how he says his final words to him#he's of course nominally talking to starscream. but he turns and looks at optimus.#he knows the significance of what he's saying. and he knows that the only reason he is alive is because of optimus#because optimus was willing to sacrifice his own sparkā to become one with the allsparkā megatron received his own spark back again.#optimus saved his life.#and megatron knows this. he knowsā because he has always known optimus and has always been able to see what he does#so he knows that when he leaves it is the last time he will see optimus--to the best of his knowledgeā in this life or the next#he knows he will likely never join the allspark that optimus is already one with. and he still doesn't say goodbye.#because he can't let go. he isn't able to. he is the remaining half of their whole. the former servant of unicronā now without his prime#the primeval oppositionā now with only one opponent; the original brotherhoodā now only one without a brother.#his refusal to say goodbye is an expression of his desire that optimus remains. but--as all his desires have been--it is a futile one.#so at the very least it is his declaration that he shall remain even so. he will be waitingā for all the eons to come.#and maybeā in the endā though he does not believe itā primus will be merciful.#optimus always was.#kay has a party in the tags#my meta posts#kay can i just catch my breath for a second

Sorry folks. Romance will not fix them. They still need serious therapy.
#writing#I hate this trope sm cause itās#literally so blind#not how trauma works#or literally any mental issue#like getting a sweet new partner doesnāt goodbye depression#sometimes it even makes it worse#anyway#idk if Iām aromantic or if straight people are just deranged#but apparently being overly critical of romance in media is a sign#hard to say

okay. see. the thing is. the cricketing gear isn't just a silly set of clothes the tardis picked out. it's to clue you in that we're dealing with posh edwardian man levels of repression here. that's who five is.
#and you gotta keep this in mind for every emotional moment in his era. calling tegan's departure unsentimental... like sure. ok.#bleak might be a better descriptor tho.#like they're literally standing in a room full of dead bodies. that's what they're stepping over.#it's quick yeah bc tegan's on the verge of tears and handling it like ripping off a bandaid.#bc if she lets the doctor speak she'll be convinced to stay and she can't bear it anymore!#the way five oh so slowly raises his hand to take hers and the look on his face?#the way he runs after her and says 'no no don't leave not like this!'#that's crazy!!! and then he compares it to the circumstances that made him leave gallifrey!!#an ep later he describes himself as 'obsessed and depressed' over it!!#there's a reason it goes [tegan's departure] -> [turlough's departure] -> [five dies] in the course of three serials!#donna voice it's like you're staggering along. once tegan leaves he's hurtling towards his end.#and tegan hasn't changed her mind when she turns back around the corner. she's watching the tardis dematerialize as a final goodbye.#'brave heart tegan' (the thing he always says to you) isn't what you say when you made a rash decision & are regretting it.#it's to steel yourself bc you know you made the right decision despite how hard it is.#and yes he takes her at her word bc five sees everyone on a countdown clock to the day they're going to leave him. he expects it.#:(#dw

āgod i cant believe youre real OP. its so unbelievably rare to find people who are able to understand and speak about komaeda exactly like this. Super amazing! Im glad hes made it to you <3 I really dont know how to tell you how much I appreciate your blog, I just hope you know it !
DUDDEE THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE SO SWEET!!! I'm always so worried that I'm not able to understand the media I like enough or am doing it justice so hearing MULTIPLE people say I understand him is so reassuring!! It really has so much weight considering how often he's misinterpreted or misunderstood, it makes me really happy to know people appreciate my rambles. It's so silly but it really is such an oddly personal but impactful compliment haha! I'm beyond happy he made it to me too, my life genuinely wouldn't be the same without him. Nagito caused a domino chain effect for so much of my growth and experiences that it's comical.
It also means a lot to me because in the 3 years I've loved him at the beginning I wasn't able to articulate things like I do now! Recently I've been really improving at articulation and it's been so nice. I finally am able to thoroughly communicate why I like him and the things that make him, himself! The combination of trying to be more comfortable and confident with myself, rambling more on social media and to friends, and reading slightly more has really been beneficial for me and I've been really happy about it. Thank you for enjoying my blog!
#nagito komaeda#danganronpa#danganronpa komaeda#sdr2 nagito#danganronpa nagito#sdr2 komaeda#komaeda nagito#sdr2#danganronpa goodbye despair#nagito#komaeda#danganronpa asks#anonymous asks#anon ask#nagito ask#komaeda ask#nagito komaeda asks#nagito asks#komaeda asks#sdr2 nagito komaeda#who needs depression when you can articulate how you feel about nagito komaeda

oh my god i just finished the dark forest finally. 7/10 i suppose, i went through the first half or so of the book being really annoyed by luo ji but also enjoying the chapters where he shows up because unfortunately he was entertaining. still don't understand the imaginary girlfriend thing, it just feels like he needs someone to protect from the world which like ??? ok sure i guess, it just rubs me the wrong way personally. for the second half and especially the end i became luo ji's number one defender it's fine. for the rest, holy crapāthe droplet, the microcosm of the universe on those runaway ships, the wallfacer project, luo ji drawing from rey diaz's plan, the attitude of the world towards him, the entire theory... wow
#i dont even know my brain's exploding#i don't think it's an incredibly great plot per se but it's enough to keep me interested and the concepts are interesting and thats enough#again shi qiang the mandatory emotional support. i was so touched when he said goodbye to luo ji even tho it was just a false alarm#also dongfang yanxu (btw her name??? homophone for 'the east lives on'??) and those two other captains using just their eyes to#communicate just like zhuang yan imagined... ough and then all that destruction#äøä½#tbh was reminded of the trisolarians when zhang beihai started waxing on about the new morals the new humanity might have#make judgements without feeling and yet it killed him in the end#generally the moment luo ji wakes up and is almost killed 6 times (kind of funny tbh) shit literally just kept happening#also @ great depression 2. like the great ravine or smth? idk it felt close to cultural rev 2. greenpeace as a 人儸 organizationšššššš#the aesthetics of trisolarians are great tho. first the droplet then the giant signaling device they send#so beautiful its something humans can't even imagine is a nice description. reminds me illogically of eschers art#ēęå the audiobook reader needs like 10 million awards actually. i feel like i didn't really think abt it when listening to book 1#but his voice and narration is really good he reads with feeling which is incredible for when i dont want to keep reading#my post#i was very touched at the end tho he really said i'll become an alcoholic#the wallfacer project and its tolls on the saviors of the world or something#also a surprising amount of christianity references i feel#idk tho#three body problem#main gripes were that the switching of perspectives bored me lol the three retired old grandpas were alright#but i was bored out of my mind at zhang beihai's pov before shit started going down sorry dude#it annoys me how grandpas + chang weisi and all those other people kind of just get written out but i suppose this is not the target f#for science fiction anyways??

声/Koe/Voice Translyrics!
"Wow tumblr user just-nonsense-bungaku! What kind of assignment are you procrastinating on to write translyrics this time?" Ok but have you noticed that my lyrics are the best when I have an assignment due in a few days? I can literally write translyrics in an hour and change when I'm procrastinating. It's my superpower, by which I mean adhd and autism.
Aaaaaanyway, I wrote some translyrics for Koe, one of Elma's less-discussed songs! I think it's really beautiful personally, especially with how it mirrors Parade and talks about Elma's depression and identity crisis.
Canāt touch them, I donāt know why
Canāt see them, no matter how hard I try
This thing I always forget, I really
Just want to hold it some more in my mind
The place where this song went to hide
I donāt know why that is, so the words are stuck here forever
Below my throat, the single goodbye, I never could say it
I bitterly smile
And in the morning light, I will bite my lip ātil it hurts me
And I will face this empty feeling everyday
I knew Iād be living this way
I know Iāll be living this way
It comes out whenever I speak
And just so, it hides away, timid and meek
Outpouring, just like my tears
In silence, deep in my throat, itās still here
A god thatās dwelling in me
The words I want to write are the hole you left where my heart is
The very life you lived, it hurt me like a machine gun
A single goodbye
Whose hollow shape I trace, spilling out the feeling of nothing
And so today, and everyday within my dreams
I see you sitting with me
And laughing beautifully
I donāt know why it is that the words are always beyond me
Below my throat, just one more goodbye, but still I canāt say it
So bring me to rest
And in in the morning light, I will bite my lip ātil it hurts me
And even now, within a world that I donāt know
Youāll just find me, all alone
Iām laughing here on my own
#yorushika#ćØć«ć·ć«#translyrics#still thinking about the goodbye that never came#and how Elma's afraid of hearing that goodbye because it'll force her to confront Amy's death#even though the lack of closure is only making her depression worse#that's what I meant by the hollow shape that's spilling out the feeling of nothing#I think this song makes Hole in My Heart even better

You know how like. You imagine a story and you come up with a bunch of scenes that you really want to draw so the entire time. The whole beginning of the story is for the sake of getting to those scenes? Yep. Prowl is about to have a really funny interesting conversation with Rung and this is gonna be one of the scenes. I finally got to draw it *manic laughter*

Btwww I might have. A disorder. I will not specify. But it is a new one. One I don't have yet. It is not known yet.
Like it's probably nothing I mean just forget about it it's totally fine and probably nothing and I'm just being hysterical and I managed to subconsciously manipulate my doctors aha. Like don't worry about it I'm sure this is just a hell of my own making and if I really wanted it to stop I could totally just stop it. So don't even worry about it.
The fact that the only people who fully relate to me and whom I relate to are people with said disorder just means that I subconsciously manipulated them into relating to me. Somehow.
#idk i feel weird about it#I didn't post about it because idk i feel weird about people i know irl knowing about it#because for one it's just a possibility for now and do you know how embarrassing it would be#if i told someone and cried about it and then i had to walk it back? like if i had to go 'oh yeah no turns out I'm just hysterical'?#second of all i think that people might just dismiss it? like maybe they'd go 'oh okay. anyway.'#and on one hand that's nice but on the other hand it'd feel dismissive#third of all I'm scared that they might think I'm making it up. like they'd go 'boooo that's nothing. everyone experiences that. you just#need to git gud. ummm only people with a lot of trauma have that and i have never heard you talk about severe childhood trauma#so like...are you sure you aren't just bipolar? you only think that because some of your friends have that.' etc etc#fourth of all I'm scared they'll swing the other way around and take it too seriously and go 'ohh. idk that's kinda scary. goodbye forever.'#and like my only irl friends who know are 1) my friend with severe chronic health problems because i felt semi-safe confiding in them#because they have a lot of chronic health problems and are used to not being believed so i knew they likely possibly#wouldn't ridicule me. and well it turns out that they have the exact same issues so.#(i mean i love them dearly but when you have eg depression and the only person who knows also has severe unmedicated#depression the support you give eachother is kinda like 'damn i feel like I'm dying' 'damn me too')#2) a friend who has said disorder diagnosed and has had for long enough that said friend's daily life issues are due to completely#different things than mine. and of course being semi-ok with your existence is great but what I'm getting at is that#it can also be a little awkward in the same way it's definitely awkward for someone who is like getting thrown around by their#symptoms of BP//D wanting support from me as someone who went to DBT and isn't getting strangled by B//PD all day every day#so you know. I'm kinda rawdogging my crippling fear and anxiety and sadness and grief and disgust and everything else.#i just keep repeating to myself 'oooooh it's fine it's fine I'm just a tool i have to support others i should not ask for support#i am the one who supports not the one who is suported i am a service i am a tool i shall not bother those who have their own#problems with my problems and existence '
