#YO I AM BACK AT THESE

[entomolog-t]

I know you’re swamped with many g/t tropes but i have to know:

One of my favorite g/t tropes is when the tiny gets sacrificed to the giant. What are your thoughts on that?

*Kicks down the door*

Dr. Ento is back Baby.

This is certainly an interesting trope, though certain aspects of it need to be expanded upon for me to have a firm grasp on the scenario.

Moving forward I am going to be making assumptions about the trope. If I am off base, please feel free to book a follow up appointment at your earliest convenience.

My main assumption moving forward are that this is not a "true sacrifice" scenario involving death.

Though the context of the preferred sacrifice can be deeply insightful

Are they sacrificed to appease a caring and gentle giant who does not want these sacrifices other than to rescue them?

Does the giant normally eat/kill the sacrifices and they are the exception for whatever reason?

Are they being sacrificed for any particular reason (atonement, being unwanted etc...) ?

All of these scenarios likely have some subconscious imagery that would be very telling to explore.

As per normal, we also should analyze where you see yourself - as the giant or the tiny?

For example, seeing oneself as a benevolent giant taking pity on a tiny thief who was caught and offered up as a sacrifice could show the way you value forgiveness and understanding- if you pay particular attention to the traits you would assign to said tiny, you would likely find some projected traits that you yourself may want to be forgiven for as well (either by others or by yourself). Normally this is a bit more subtle than "They are a thief, I want to be forgiven for stealing"- you may assign the thief a cold personality, or make them untrusting, or give them a past that closely reflects part of your own.

Seeing the tiny as the exception to the sacrifice could imply that the tiny exemplifies something you deeply desire or cherish in yourself.

The giant being awestruck with the tinys beauty could be a longing for someone to show you special attention or infatuation. Perhaps the tiny escapes, and it is their nerve/skills that captivate the giant. You may wish for others to see you as brave and capable, and what better way to concentrate that fantasy than having those traits recognized by someone of magnitude.

Being the more cruel giant yourself could allude to a power fantasy- a yearning to be feared. While this may sound cruel on the surface often times it is a subconscious defense- if others are scared of you, you yourself are safe from harm (context dependent obviously.) Wanting that kind of fear in others could be a projection of the fear that has been instilled in you in some way/shape or form.

Another take could be that it is your subconscious expressing feelings of isolation and ostracization that you face in your day to day. Even if you envision yourself as the tiny, try to think of what traits you typically assign to the giant. Are they traits that you can see reflected in yourself? Further dissect those that ring true, especially with what you might feel misunderstood with; Being loud, scary, too friendly, too cold etc...

Sacrifice in and of itself is a strong metaphor that for the most part is universally understood; giving something up. Now I could expand on this, as there is a great beauty in sacrifice, but for the sake of time I will stick with the simple definition. This trope (under the aforementioned assumptions) subverts the expectation of the sacrifice. Something is not given up- because a part of us (or perhaps a vision of someone you know) is being sacrificed and the object of the sacrifice is choosing that the sacrifice itself is of more value than what it is being sacrificed for- in short, it has worth.

Sacrifice tropes very often deal with massive amounts of fearplay and trust, as do so many of our beloved g/t tropes, but it is this metaphor of worthiness that I see as the most poignant part- what truly sets this trope apart from others.

I hope you enjoyed our session today, please take the time to further dissect the aspects of what entices you about this trope for more insight on your personal psyche.

Honestly I understand why Megatron is obsessed with Optimus Prime. Megatron is doing his darndest to run an evil army, but because it's an evil army everyone is constantly betraying him. He tells them infighting is destroying them, heck, he's even tried to be empathetic, and they turn right around and attack either each other or (more frequently) him. Is it any wonder he's almost happy to see Optimus on the battlefield?? At least with him, Megatron knows what to expect--bro will be there to fight him every time. Simple! Consistent! An opponent who's actually in front of him instead of behind his back! What a relief...

In short Optimus is basically Megatron's comfort item and I don't blame him for that

I know it's a pointless thing to express but it really does kill me how many parents who fear and hate and want to cure autism in their kids will blame it on everything.... but genetics. It being genetics wouldn’t help this kind of person either, it just kills me because the autism is probably coming from inside the house!!

No we don't know everything about autism and where it comes from but it is very clearly genetically linked— like my entire family is autistic. it's just our understanding of autism is still pretty modern so it's hard for older generations to see and accept it. Some of those anti autism parents might be autistic themselves, just unable to conceive of what autism is versus what they've been told it is, because of a general lack of education (and a lot of misinformation)

At how many followers should I come clean and admit the reason Im into old people is because age gives people unique wrinkles and blemishes and scars, which makes my mild face blindness about 10x easier to deal with?

[mikurinkuwu]

if you didn’t ship miku x rin who would you ship em with?

i never shipped rin with anyone before i got into mikurin so i guess i wouldve stayed a mikuluka shipper idk

[nartml]

I can't stand ship wars but I physically can't restrain myself when I see my faves mentioned in the comments of a video that says smth like "when there's a disgusting ship that makes you sick to your stomach but for some reason it's popular"

Cuz they gotta be rage-bait, ain't no way you're saying bkdk or stsg or itafushi or killugon or sns or erasermic or any other perfectly normal ship instead of naming shit like gojo x yuuji?

Saw someone say "any ship that isn't canon" and I started laughing, some y'all really hate fun huh
