i was thinking about that ask i received the other day and how uncharacteristically upset the topic had made me when i usually just think "mh. gross!" and move on, and after mulling it over a while i realized it wasn't about the topic at all, it was the ask itself that freaked me out. i've mentioned sporadically before (for obvious reasons lol) that i used to be involved in fandom discourse when i was younger and that!! fucked me up quite a lot. between exacerbating my ocd and straight up getting cyber stalked (i almost feel guilty using that word, like i don't deserve it but. yeah that is 100% what happened to me), the topic is something I have very complex and personal opinions on but that i hate talking about in public because it still sets off my fight or flight response.
i know some people in the fandom are like "let me know if i ever rb someone who wrote/drew gross stuff" and that's entirely their choice and i respect it. but for the record, i am not one of these people. please, for the love of god, i am asking this genuinely do NOT come into my DMs about this, I don't want to know. assume I'm either living in blissful ignorance or my blacklist already covers me quite nicely & i wanna keep it that way. i vastly prefer the discomfort of stumbling into something unprepared and deciding what to do about it on my own, to the utter pit of dread i get whenever i open a message that starts with "hey just so you know-". i have blocked multiple people in the past over it. i WILL block more. be warned.
[note. this doesn't apply to people who have either hurt or behaved inappropriately with other members of the fandom, or spread bigotry and discrimination like racists and transphobes. please do let me know in those cases]
does this make sense? idk I'm kinda feverish you guys figure it out. I'm going to sleep.

question. are the 'lotus eaters' from Jessica laws song Lotus eaters the nymphs? ik that if the song was kept in it would be in place of sirens but idk enough about greek mythology to really pick up on that that implies.
I kinda though so because lotus is frequently referenced as something Orpheus struggles with addiction to, aswell as presumably being big in the nymph scene/Dionysus's clientele, being so focused on pleasure.
(set at a party held by narcissus, Dionysus's most popular nymph)
also this line (government sponsored??? hmmmm)

Guys am I going insane what's Cooper's last name in the original (English) version I'm convinced they changed it in the dub and I don't know WHY they would do that??
Edit: don't worry guys we (kinda) solved it 😅 waiting for streaming/physical release now to check the subtitles

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats that you've spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Thinking about that line in Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented when you're playing as Rei and you go to visit Miku in her room at night and Miku sees you and says all sweetly "Having trouble sleeping? Do you need to sleep in here with me?" like sleeping in the same bed together is a thing they commonly do, especially when Rei is having nightmares, and it melts my heart every time because it's just so sweet. 🥺💜

the heart acoustic still does a weird audio illusion thing to me where I legitimately hear 'girl' instead of 'boy' for 'i was just a boy you see'
like, I don't know how, and even despite knowing it's boy I still fuckin hear it
It drove me insane a bit bc at first i just kinda accepted it as >oh this must be neat little lyric trick or something, maybe gender weirdness or something something metaphorical given it's the heart's part
i even tried making it clearer and all of that and strained my brain to hear 'boy' and tried listening through different qualities and everything but no, I kept hearing 'girl'
and my brain just got stuck on it for a little while bc it wasn't acting like audio illusions usually act for me-- once I know the right word or whatever that's being said, I hear that, but it wasn't doing that for me here
friend even suggested doing a test to see what people'd hear but I just kinda gave up on that thought immediately because I felt embarrassed wheezes
a year later I still hear 'girl' there but my brain knows it's 'boy' so I just think 'boy' anyway, and a couple times I've managed to hear 'boy' there
basically: my fun time with the heart acoustic and whatever the fuck my ears / brain were doing
