"Nothing is purely somatic."

by Dr.Harald Wiesendanger– Klartext What the mainstream media is hiding Conventional medicine reaches its limits as long as it views and treats patients as bodies without souls: as biochemical machines that need to be repaired. Psychosomatics leads to a shadowy existence as a marginal field. It wouldn’t have taken much for him to be able to celebrate his 100th birthday with my foundation…

When I started my transition and began to come out to a few more folks than the tiny few that knew about me, there was something I kept saying as a part of my spiel…

“This is what I am, not who I am.”

I think I believed it fully at the time.

But then the interaction in the comic above occurred this past summer and completely changed my mind.  Sure, being trans is something that I just am, but it’s also something that can be part of who I am as well. 

Seeing that kid completely light up the way they did sparked in me a desire that I really didn’t think I’d ever have.  Suddenly, that kid made me want to be visible.

Like the comic says, I wasn’t ready to be publicly out so I felt safer lying about myself at the time, but I truly hope that the next time I’m up there they have the opportunity to see me…

…a transgender person who’s included and having fun, just like we all should be.

It’s really funny to me that everyone was like “oh wow I didn’t know Yaz’s ptsd was still that bad” upon finding out that she decided to live in a dinosaur free island after spending multiple years constantly chased by dinosaurs. As if she’s the only one they ever even think of or address having it. Like

Kenji-suddenly uprooted his life and left his family to teach rock climbing lessons out of a trailer

Brooklyn-became obsessed with the dark web and started doing shady shit, all while constantly having fall-outs with people and moving from friends house to friends house

Sammy- becomes distant from her family and plasters affirmations and motivational posters on her walls despite being extremely full of self doubt suddenly

Ben- also becomes obsessed with the dark web, looks through explicit dinosaur attack photos casually, drops out of college, thinks every person they meet is out to get them.

Darius- quits his job and moves to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, cutting off contact with his friends and family just so he can focus on somehow tracking down the one dinosaur that killed his friend, all while leaving his dead friend voice mails to tell her about his day all the time as a coping mechanism.

transitioning from the campers only trusting each other after being betrayed by so many adults throughout jwcc to not even being able to trust each other in jwct is breaking my heart tbh

[cheruv-ii]

Could you imagine how bad the Campers' survivor's guilt must be? Like sure, a lot of people that were killed on the islands were bad people who frankly deserved it, but they also saw so many innocent people die, ntm I'm sure they saw all the news articles with death counts from Nublar (Death counts that may possibly be lower than what they are due to the fact that we all know they weren't able to retrieve every body).

Yet here they are, six random kids that managed to survive everything against all odds, despite not only dinosaurs but also grown adults wanting them killed on multiple occassions. They all went through things that realistically SHOULD have killed them, I mean, even the fall off the zipine in s1 was a lot. Ben on the monorail, Sammy with the Scorpious, plus everything else was realistically way too much for a group of 6 CHILDREN to survive, yet they somehow did.

But so many people didn't.

So many innocent people, workers, guests, adults, other children, all met their untimely fate simply because they needed a job or they wanted to have a good time with their family, meanwhile these 6 kids, some of which didn't even WANT to be there, somehow made it. They don't know how, or what they did to deserve it that the other's didn't, but they made it.

I dunno, I've just been thinking about that lately.

sometimes a family can be a repressed lesbian, her step-daughter/lover, & her four half-siblings!!!!!!

the dynamic is absolutely hilarious because aegon and aemond would be the step kids from hell, but rhaenyra would be both their stepmom while still being the half sibling. it's so bizarre and baffling that it just has to end up working out really well

[bdemotes]

uhh uh uhm uhhhh

For s2 (early) celebrations can u make Adam??

Plspls it'll b cool :3

yuh !!1!

and uhhhh ones with blood underneath the cut lol

[brookslostarm]

I lied, put your clothes back on we're gonna talk about how Brooklynn went from wanting constant attention and having a web channel revealing herself to millions of people in jwcc to being almost completely isolated having little to no attention and being embarrassed when her best friends even look at her and hiding her arm

[secretfandomrambles]

Not sure if this would be amusing or horrifying. But I’m imagining a Trials of Apollo AU where Apollo is sent down to Earth in the same physical form that he was in when he fought Python the first time. Which in my mind, for whatever the reason, makes him appear about 7-8 years old.

Most things end up happening the same but no one takes Apollo seriously because he looks like a second-grader. (However, Apollo doesn’t get beat up by Cade and Mikey, and Diana spends a few minutes cuddling Apollo because that’s HER baby brother and she misses him.) Plus, Cabin Seven has more than one moment where they are holding back hysterics and the urge to wrap their Father up in bubble wrap because Apollo is a tiny fragile mortal who supremely overestimates what he’s capable of doing in child-form (and don’t get him started on talking about their mortal parents, this situation is already too weird). Chiron is also despairing because he already dealt with young Apollo being weirdly paternal once before, and now he has to deal with it again (Dionysus is outwardly laughing but inwardly panicking because he’s seen far too many children die and he knows what Zeus is like when it comes to letting other gods try to help someone he’s decided to punish)

Meg is suffering from cognitive disonnance because she was half-joking when she claimed Apollo’s service and is now stuck with a child-like ex-god who has a bunch of children of his own.

Bonus: Zeus is questioning his life-choices because child!Apollo keeps getting himself almost adopted by random strangers for some reason (and a part of him is furious and intending to strike them all down because Apollo is HIS son, not THEIRS) and this was not the punishment the king of the gods intended for him (and all the other gods are quietly side-eyeing him nervously). Leto is furious because that’s her baby and she wants him safe and not to go fighting that evil snake again (at least he isn’t a four-day old baby this time) but Zeus refuses to listen to her.

Maybe the poison drips through

Succession 4x10 “With Open Eyes”

[my-pjo-stuff]

Okay, hot take time :

The reason why Luke never canonically did alcohol or drugs on the Princess Andromeda (despite being a 20-something leading an active revolt against the gods with heavy trauma and 0 healthy coping mechanisms) is NOT that he's in a children's book and it would be inappropriate. It's because he's an emotional cuddly drunk. The very second he gets ANYTHING into his system any self restraint concerning his emotion is GONE.

That carefully curated mask to hide his emotions? VANISHED.

He's crying his little eyes out saying the most out-of-pocket shit ever. One second he's musing about Annabeth's childhood stories from when they were on the run and the next he trauma-dumps about his mother.

He's hanging half slumped over Chris with his head on his shoulder. Babbling about how he didn't want to hurt and betray almost everyone he ever knew and loved but he has to because Kronos would otherwise hurt them and him, and he has to take revenge and get justice.

Crack AU where someone, somehow slipped Luke smth during the time in TTC where Annabeth was held captive on the Princess Andromeda. And as a result she just spend half of her time in captivity being hugged by her drunk big brother figure whinning about wanting cuddles and just spilling everything to her.

PJO proceeds to end that book when Annabeth puts her newly acquired insight to use, defeats Kronos in a storm of fury over what he did to her big brother, and sends the entire Titan Army to the therapy they all so desperately need.

Brooklynn Unboxes: "Actually I Am Not Qualified To Unbox Any of This".

[mutedsybille]

Goofy silly man I like please ignore the typo in his name, for my defense, sergent is how it's written in french

Fuck why did I decide to like Sydney O. Sargent from a gay podcast, now I'm forced to cry as I listen to him have multiple breakdowns, anyways, have the unscanned versions from my crusty fuckass sketchbook

[fabuladorah]

Btw we dont talk enough about how terrifying being in Darius' position is. I was playing the Hidden Adventure and let me tell you I was this close from having a panick attack, dude. And its even worse for Darius, cuz he is literally a child (i think he is the youngest?) and has his friend's lives on his hand like omg.

do you ever think about how there’s a potential that ben’s mom made a comment about the whole “getting stranded on a dinosaur infested island” thing being good for his character. do you think that she saw how after the rescue he rarely used sanitizer, stopped wearing his fannypack, could wear more than one clothing blend, and just stopped being overly anxious in general and thought ‘this is a good thing’.

and when she makes that stray comment, ben kinda just breaks down. because losing that part of himself was not a product of simple “self improvement” but survival.

and on the slow days, when he’s allowed to finally rest, ben thinks that perhaps not everyone survived. that maybe his “good character” came from the death of himself.
