SPOILER ALERT

Lookism Cinematic Analysis (6)

tw: suicide

This panel is loosely based on one of the posters of a critically acclaimed Korean film, "Socialphobia" (2014).

"Socialphobia" is a story about the mysterious death of a social media user who was some sort of a keyboard warrior, and the subsequent social media frenzy that it caused.

In the film, the social media user was objectified after her death. For the other young characters, the allure of the mystery surrounding her death was more important than her humanity. At the end of the film, it's never clear whether she was murdered or it was a suicide, and nobody cared about it.

In Lookism's case, the moment Charles took his own life, all the exposé about his crimes became secondary compared to his dead body. Who he was before HNH, his personal life, etc etc at that moment disappeared. He was but the grotesque body.

Notice how in both the panel and the poster, different angles were taken by the press and the civilians when photographing the dead. This also works as a symbolism: people only knew about the dead girl and Charles the way whoever took photos of them chose to. They were both presented differently, framed differently, depending on the angle.

In a world where reality is fabricated, what is real never matters.

Even though I work with Lord Eros and Lady Aphrodite to get love in my life, I still wonder if having a boyfriend is something meant to a girl like me.

Don't get me wrong, I fully believe in Eros and Aphrodite abilities to find love for everyone. Is just that...I have deep insecurities :(

For starter; I'm a chubby girl, I'm not fat, but I have a big tummy and my thighs are too big and I feel too big when I'm next to my girl friends because I'm taller than them (I'm not a tall person, I think I'm 162/163cm)

Then we have my religion, I live in a latam country, where the majority of people are either Christian or Catholic, paganism isn't something welcomed here, and even though there's African rooted religions, something as niche as Hellenic Paganism isn't knowledgeable.

I like girly things, but I'm not a girly person, I mostly wear pants and big kpop hoodies along anime t-shirts. I'm trying to dress up better now that I'm working on a office though, but still.

I have a very acid humor, I'm sarcastic to the point of people wondering if I'm being serious or not. But deep down I'm very insecure about how people perceive me.

I'm neurodivergent, having ADHD and I also have socialphobia. Speaking to people makes me anxious, one of my copying mechanisms is wearing headphones and looking at the floor.

I love Lord Eros and Lady Aphrodite, but at the same time, I still wonder if being loved is something meant for me. Am I loveable? Does Lady Aphrodite see me and think I'm a failure of devotee? Does Lord Eros wish he didn't had to work with me because I'm too awkward?

I love myself, but sometimes I wished I was something else, I wish to be pretty like this friend I have, or maybe charismatic like this other friend, oh oh maybe I could be skinny like this one? I love myself but at the same time I wished to not be me. Does that make sense?

This isn't a devotional post, but rather a vent one. Sorry for anyone that expected something positive, I promise that I will post something nice next time, is just that this blog is my safe space

Yichén Lore Dump!! ((OOC post))

I prefer to organically share information about my OCs through roleplay but since Yichén is so new, I wanted to make this so you all are a little more familiar with him!!

Let's start with some of the basics!

- Yichén is 21 years old

- His pronouns are he/him but he wouldn't correct somebody who refers to him differently

- His birthday is June 23rd, making him a Cancer

- He was born in 2002, the year of the sheep

- Yichén is 5'1 or 156 cm

- He comes from Chengdu, China

- Yichén is biracial - He's asian on his mom's side and black on his dad's side

- Yichén can speak Mandarin and Japanese. He's "working on learning" English (He speaks it better than most Americans)

- He made his demon pact when he was 17, meaning he's been a ghoul for four years

What's he interested in? What's his personality like?

- Yichén is a big fan of mystery novels and detective/cop dramas, but you already knew that if you read his introduction post!

- He's also a big fan of cutesy C-pop girl bands, but he's not as open about that interest of his

- Yichén is a smoker. Though, he tries to keep it under wraps since his house is full of med students

- Yichén doesn't identify with any sexual labels, but he's attracted to anyone who's hyper masculine

- He doesn't think very highly of himself and has a severe inferiority complex as well as imposter syndrome

- Yichén is extremely jumpy and skittish, but not clumsy

- He has just about every common phobia (arachnophobia, hemophobia, glossophobia, ophidiophobia, entophobia, as well as socialphobia)

- Confrontation is his worst nightmare. Yichén would rather suffer in silence then speak up for himself and risk upsetting someone

- Yichén is easily stressed out by things that can't be explained by science, making him a perfect student for Darkwick Academy /s

- Although he swears up and down that he has no medical knowledge, Yichén can perform basic first-aid and is quite knowledgeable in how difficult substances affect the brain and body. He's also skilled in acupuncture and moxibustion

- Yichén is a lot stronger than he looks and it's not just because he's a ghoul. He's a practiced climber. Rocks, trees, buildings - he climbs it all!!

And finally, a little bit about his family and background

- As mentioned in another post, Yichén lives with his parents, paternal grandfather, and younger sister

- His family runs a traditional Chinese pharmacy out in rural Chengdu. The store has been in his mother's family for generations

- Yichén's sister is named Lìchén. He cares for her deeply and she was the reason he made his demonic pact

- Yichén, by choice, never had many friends growing up. He preferred to spend time with his family. Specifically, his grandfather.

- Alli and Yichén share a grandmother, making them cousins. However, they don't recognize each other since Alli doesn't remember her family and Yichén knows her by a different name

Okay!! that's all the lore you get!! Anything else is gonna be shared through asks and roleplay!!

By the way, I have a new spooky month oc

It will be almost a secondary oc and like... She is for Rina a skid in the ass ':)

And a couple of facts:

• She saw Rina in the shelter and wanted to make friends with her, but due to Rina's socialphobia, they never became friends..

• Her stepfather is a cultist.

I understand the need to end stigma/misinfo about OCD, as someone with OCD myself. It's important to clarify that OCD isn't the "keep things clean" disorder. But it is important to note that the disorder people confuse OCD with, OCPD, is not easy to have either.

So many people, it seems, use OCPD as if its "OCD-lite", or "OCD-but good", or (if they're aware of the more negative symptoms/know someone in their life with OCPD) the "OCD but a bad person".

It's really none of those things. I have both OCPD and OCD. So much time has been spent distinguishing the two, both by the medical industry and by those afflicted by one or the other, that we seem to be acting as though they are entirely separate worlds with no commonality, when that simply isn't true. Yes, they are distinctly different disorders, but one isn't "the easy mode" of the other, nor is one the "version that makes you a bad person".

I have seen people in OCD communities (not here) say "Yeah that's not OCD," when someone says something wrong about OCD, which is good, only to then qualify it with "But that is OCPD! By the way, I'm so happy I'm not OCPD, those people are crazy!"

I've seen OCDers say OCPDers, due to our assocation, make them look like monsters. I've seen OCDers say we have easy mode OCD. I've seen schizospec people (and I bring this up only because they publicly identified as such -- I have tons of schizospec friends, as well as OCD friends) say that people with OCPD "aren't really disordered at all, because their disorder is just enforcing oppression" (yes, it was as nonsensical as I made it sound).

Well, I'm tired of personality disorders being maligned. And I'm tired of OCPD in particular being maligned in this way. I have OCPD. I also have OCD. And I have ADHD, CPTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and Socialphobia. And before anyone gets on me, these are all diagnosed by multiple professionals (nothing against self-dx, but I know someone would fucking bring up the possibility so I wanted to head it off at the pass).

We are one community. We're all neurodivergent. I want us to better understand each other. I really hope this gains traction because more people need to know about what OCPD really is.

ADHD!Social anxious!Regulus Black Headcanons;

Author's Notes: As a ADHD with socialphobia, I never truly had representation of someone like me. They often portray ADHD people with a lot of energy and who can't stay still in any moments. As if no one knew that the hyperactivity could be mental and not physical. And as a Regulus Black obssessive fan, I ended up creating these headcanons! Hope you guys like it :)

^᪲᪲᪲As someone with ADHD, Regulus often had the burts of energy, but having Walburga as his mother, Orion as his father and Sirius as his brother; Regulus never had the opportunity to really release all this random energy he had. So he would often close the door of his room and pace around his bedroom until his energy left his body;

^᪲᪲᪲He would spent a lot of time pacing around his room, creating scenarios and more scenarios. And when his family wasn't home, Regulus would pace around the Grimmauld Manor as his mind worked relentlessly;

^᪲᪲᪲Regulus couldn't focus on more than one thing at the same time, it made his head hurt, his heart beat so fast that it seemed that it would jump off his chest. And it often made Walburga yell at him and Sirius roll his eyes while he rispidly repeated what he asked Regulus to do hours before;

^᪲᪲᪲So to help him remember and work like a neurotypical person, Regulus made a planner for him to remember everything that he needs to do on his week, sometimes he couldn't remember to do something even with the planner, but it was less than when he didn't had the planner;

^᪲᪲᪲He hated talking with people, hated the feeling of eyes looking at his trembling figure. It didn't help that Regulus often lost himself between words, he wasn’t like his brother Sirius, who charmed everyone with just a few phrases;

^᪲᪲᪲Regulus had hyperfixation on a book series he loved, he analyzed the characters, the plot, the universe created, he knew a lot about this books. He could spend hours rambling about this book series;

^᪲᪲᪲Having social anxiety often made going to classes difficult to Regulus, but having a few friends helped a little. He often clinged on Evan Rosier, having a loose hand on his friend's arm;

^᪲᪲᪲Which of course, brought rumors of Regulus and Evan being a couple, but it quickly died down when Evan said explicitly that he didn't liked Regulus like that, in fact, Evan Rosier didn't had romantic feelings for anyone;

^᪲᪲᪲It's a fact that Regulus had a fast mind, he always had quick responses for any question even if he didn't know the subject that was being spoken about, but having a fast mind had your withdrawals;

^᪲᪲᪲For example, Regulus always had to drink calming potions before he slept, because his mind always wandered of, thinking about what he should eat on the next day, what he should wear, would Sirius make some ridiculous prank on the Slytherins? What was the spell Flitwick teached three days ago on his classes? Wait, Regulus had it written, he's going to check before he goes to sleep—

^᪲᪲᪲And lastly, Regulus always, always focused so much on the things he liked, to the point that time seemed to pass incredibly fast. He also got easily bored, repetitions made him annoyed, and this may, may not brought him some problems.

^᪲᪲᪲Regulus Black was the typical ADHD person who had heavy social anxiety, and I have more headcanons, but I'll leave now before I start rambling more than I already did (I have hyperfocus on him :))

Hi, your therapist red flag post made me send this ask.

I feel like I fundamentally fail at introducing myself to a therapist. When I was 17 I visited two therapists during the same month for one meeting and one kicked me out because she accused me of being healthy but lying and the other one called the psychiatry (though I said no) to pick me up.

I am now 21 and guess what. I am looking for a therapist again. And the first meeting in September told me "You are healthy, just a lack of vitamins" and the therapist two hours ago told me "You need to go to psychiatry immediately! You will not be able to do a therapy, you will never be able to do a therapy without visiting the psychiatry first."

I told her "No" I don't want to because as a young teen I was in psychiatry and I still have flashbacks from that. And I don't think I "won't be able to do therapy", I don't feel particularly bad and not even remotely as bad as back as a teen, when I really went to psychiatry.

But, I told both the same story (and during them I visited two other therapists who told me, they aren't the right person for me), how can they see so different things in it? Why do I apparently suck so much at telling a consistent story?

I know I seem more down when I visit a therapist for the first time, I hate meeting new people, and I live so remotely that it most times took me hours to get there. But I have like most average issues, depression, socialphobia and a bit of trauma. It's not rocket science.

Therefore it most be the way that I introduce myself, that sucks. How can I do better? I mean I tell everything revelant, it's not that. But maybe the way I explain it... I don't know. But I am desperate because in 9 months nobody wanted to treat me and there aren't indefinitely therapists in my area.

And do you maybe have resources how to treat myself because I am losing all hope ever finding a therapist...

Hi anon,

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experiences with therapists. I think when you have experiences like this it can be easy to feel like there's something wrong with you, but please know that every therapist you mentioned was the one out of line.

You can be "healthy" and in therapy. I believe that everyone has something to work on in therapy. Even just having a professional to vent to can be helpful. I would imagine it's quite hard to tell if a client is healthy but lying just in a single session, and even so, confronting that client about it would depend on building rapport first. And even if someone truly lying about issues they don't have, it still indicates some underlying issue that could be explored in therapy. So perhaps this therapist was making some kind of excuse.

It's also worth emphasizing that therapists are not allowed to give direct suggestions or commands. One of the main goals of therapy is to develop self-reliance, so enabling a dependent relationship on the therapist (where the therapist tells them what to do, instead of getting them to think about what they should do) is counterintuitive. Therapists can also be held liable for making direct suggestions or giving advice as that may backfire. Part of your therapist's main focus should be on your autonomy as well. I'm curious what context led her to insist you should be admitted.

It sounds like you've experienced two extremes, one where a therapist insists you don't need therapy and another that insists you be admitted to a psych ward. I'm not your therapist so I don't feel right saying neither of them are right since I'm missing much context. But both of them seemingly had some kind of issue with their own relationship with their role as a therapist.

It's quite natural to have different conversations with different therapists, and that can depend on their own modalities, styles, experience, and approach. There's a well-known experiment done in the 60s where a client named Gloria agreed to have 3 different recorded 20min sessions with 3 different therapists, each one with unique modalities that they founded. Mostly due to the therapist's approach, Gloria talked about different things with each therapist.

All this to say, I know I'm missing some necessary context, but based on what you've shared, it sounds like these interactions had more to do with the therapists than you. I know that experiences like these can discourage you from continuing the search for the right therapist, but as someone who had to bounce around before finding the perfect fit, I can say it's incredibly rewarding to keep trying. But that being said, there's no rush. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right match.

I hope I could help and please let us know if you need anything.

-Bun
