#The coping mechanism is literally just

[sunnythesecond]

Why does it hurt so much to find out that one of my comfort characters has the same coping mechanism?

“Sophie became exactly like Keefe in Stellarlune”

Loud incorrect buzzer

Sophie, beginning in Neverseen and slowly in increasing amounts begins to pick up Keefe’s way of speaking/his form of snarkiness/his style of humor because she spends a TON of time around him and our speech patterns are influenced by those around us. Also, she got older and more confident, so a lot of her shyness melted away. But she is the girl she’s always been—just a lot more confident and making a lot more of the same style of jokes as one of her closest relationships. That is way more realistic than y’all give it credit for

I kind of hate all the comparisons between kipperlily and like. Those fuckass "affirmative action fucks me over I wish I was [minority] so it would be easier" people because none of that. Is what she said. She said the bad kids already had more experience with adventuring before they got to augefort and it meant they had an advantage. Which is true. Yeah Riz was lower-class but his mum was a COP. Riz, Kristen and Fig had parents who were heroes (Sandra-Lynn is an active ranger, Kristen's parents are paladins, Sklonda is a rogue), Adaine's family was super rich and politically influential, Fabian had both. Gorgug's the only one who wasn't actively at an advantage [IN THE CONTEXT OF HAVING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEROISM] and she didn't have shit to say about him. Kipperlily was the first person in her family to try heroism, the bad kids are largely legacy admissions.

Additionally to the people comparing it to the "anti-affirmative action" crowd: do you know what affirmative action is. The bad kids didn't receive special consideration on their admissions to aguefort or scholarships or additional financial support or extended assessment times or anything. How could she be mad about affirmative action if none of these people received affirmative action. What they DID have was knowledge about their classes that started much earlier than high school, which is what Kipperlily said in her file that she thought grading should be adjusted for because she did not have that.

To me it's less like affirmative action and more like augefort is like an IQ test. They pretend that it's fair and objective, but you can be taught how to do those things from a younger age, and if your parents took the time to teach you pattern recognition and shit then you'll do better on an IQ test than someone who wasn't trained for it and everyone will act like that makes you innately smarter when it doesn't. It just means someone taught you how to do that earlier.

Barring Gorgug, every one of the bad kids had access to information about heroism and their class at a younger age than Kipperlily did, which primed them for success in their classes. Every one of them got additional information about mysteries from their families (and even direct battle-tactics training from Bill), Riz especially with getting classified info out of his mum. Kipperlily does not have hero relatives. She's the first in her family line to attend a hero school. She knew nothing about it before her first day, meanwhile Kristen was already the chosen of Helio, Adaine had already been attending the best wizard school in the country, Fabian had already spent his whole life training with his father, and Riz was already involved in solving mysteries using info and tactics he got from his parents.

They aren't necessarily "privileged" (except Fabian and Adaine), but Kipperlily didn't say they were, she said that in the specific context of attending a hero school they had a prior-knowledge advantage. Saying they didn't is like comparing the grades of a kid who's academic career started with preschool with a kid who didn't attend until middle school and acting like one of them wasn't better prepared.

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

One last thing if I see anyone say that mephone is meant to be an actual literal child like I saw when the last episode dropped I'm sending y'all back to 4th grade English

[angry-glasses]

to cleanse myself a little from the SHEER RAGE, i'm going to talk about one of things i found hilarious from the novel

Lu Yizhan was really just fucking with everyone the whole time

he knew everything

i'm not even going to talk about the times he waited exactly seven seconds to "forget" about the game, or him pretending to be all confused and asking if Bai Liu is selling his body, and then if he works in a circus (a goddamn circus, how he kept a straight face i have no idea, the man deserves an oscar), but

the rose factory arc. with tang erda. telling him to his face "gosh, officer, i'm so sorry, i just took my eyes away from him for one second, it's all my fault, BUT i promise he's not evil AND he's my friend so can he get a lesser sentence please <3?"

bitch

bitch, you were there. for all the worldlines Tang Erda went through, and more

you know exactly what is going through this man's mind

you know who he sees when he looks at Bai Liu

was it fun to tell him it was your little meow meow instead???????

[theclearblue]

It's crazy how Zoro's anxiety and worrisome nature gets overlooked it's what drives him it's what hinders him it's the way he worries ALL the time and is a skeptic and yet his trust is completely in Luffy and everyone on the crew!!!! Do you not see what I see!!!

I know I mostly portray Suchin as silly goofy in my text posts and art but the woman is paranoid and stressed 24/7 because of her danger sense.

She vomits from stress frequently, almost never gets a full nights sleep, stress breakouts, general heart problems, the list goes on.

She’s just really good at hiding the fact she’s a nervous wreck. The mediation helps.

I already knew the things Calypso did to Odysseus but honestly just listening to Love In Paradise over and over really just finally had it click and I realize how much projection I've done onto Odysseus and how most of it is honestly true and could most likely be true

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I’m now fairly certain that every Persona protagonist is (or has been) some flavour of depressed/traumatized, with the exception of Chad Narukami
