#amazing on every front

[padfootastic]

can’t help but think of how, if we choose to go by sirius’ characterisation as a private, arrogant teen who only lets a select few into his circle, sirius’ post-azkaban life just have been such an utterly humiliating experience for him.

especially OoTP. when he has all these near strangers in his childhood house, that he hated and loved and ran away from and couldn’t ever escape. if he spent his entire pre-azkaban existence building a cold and aloof persona, not letting people know what his home life had been like, then to have all of these people get a front row seat to it because of kreacher and portrait walburga’s shenanigans must have been near unbearable. to have the entire order, including snape whom he disliked and mistrusted, hear the kinds of names he’s being called.

not only does he have to deal with the retraumatisation of his childhood, but also the fact that he’s flayed open for everyone to see. it’s not only his freedom, innocence, dignity that has been snatched from him but his privacy also. it’s such a cruel thing to experience, on top of everything else.

to have literal children, his godson who he has been kept away from all this while, whom he presumably wants to be able to look up to him, to have him see into the deepest parts of his soul. to have to be so weak in front of him. not only is he subjected to such vileness but he also cannot do anything about it.

sirius has not had a moment of peace in all the time we knew him. it is indignity upon indignity that is heaped onto him. every other character has gotten a moment of respite but him. it fully breaks my heart.

If you guys are gonna buy one thing during the steam summer sale make it Dave the Diver.

The best word to describe this game is delightful. Catch fish with your spear gun during the day and run a sushi restaurant at night, and discover the secrets of the magical blue hole you dive in where every species of fish is present and the geography is changing everyday. There's combat, there's collection, there's a great story line, there's farming, there's fish farming, there's minigames, the animation and art and music are fantastic. It's GENUINELY fun, and genuinely funny. I've played it for 60 hours and I'm not done the main story line yet. Oh did I mention it's $20? And it's on sale for less?

You just gotta love how Foolish and Vegetta are devoted to each other and terribly "physical" when they are with others, but in private their love is so shy and new...

HAPPY PULP MUSICALS EPISODE 4 DAY!!!

Ahhhhhh it's finally here!! I just listened to Part 1, anyone else??

How Matt Dahan continuously raises the bar each time each episode is just something I cannot fathom.

It is the season of "Pulp Musicals fall"

When does it stop being systems georg and start becoming a whole different problem?

I'm assuming you're talking about the fact there's a lot about us that's not typical of systems? Unfortunately we've had a number of anons approach us with the intent of like... armchair-psych-just-trust-me-bro "diagnosing" us with Maladaptive Daydreaming, Schizophrenia, or even outright accusing us of faking or being endogenic in some respect.

But if this ask is genuine - it depends. Sometimes systems do have Maladaptive Daydreaming, and it makes it difficult to tell the difference between the false world created for escapism full of imaginary friends, and the actual visualisation-based inner world full of dissociated parts. Sometimes systems are schizophrenic, and it makes it hard to tell which voices and tactile sensations are hallucinations, and which are alters and IW-related things. We hang around other systems with a host of co-morbidities - but while we try to help them when they're in crisis, we don't look at any of their experiences and think "this sounds like what happens with us". We have an active imagination; we're a system of creatives, and have dabbled in everything from art to writing to poetry our entire shared life. We wrote our first story with illustrations when we were just six. So it didn't surprise us when what started out as an extremely basic IW (just a mostly-featureless grey room with a screen where the front was) became far more complex over time. Our IW is heavy on metaphors, and we're under no delusions as to what it is; we see it as our brain telling us a story about itself, giving us information in the only way it knows how. By telling stories back at it - by taking actions in the IW that are meant to achieve a specific goal - we can help heal ourselves. We can put a stop to things that are hurting us, like intrusive thoughts and harmful impulses. So, given our Inner World is ultimately a semi-controlled visualization tool? It makes sense from our perspective that our subconscious interpreted a real-life trauma that caused a massive disruption to our system's structure, as absolutely everything going to shit. And Yggdrasil rose from the ashes when the 11 of us that remained from an original count of 39 pulled ourselves together and refused to give up. Our brain tries to pull the plug, reset the system and start again? No, fuck you. United we stand, our head in the clouds and our roots sunk deep in hope. If this ask is just someone trolling again... Let me be frank; this is us. You can take it or leave it. If you think we're annoying or cringe, the unfollow and block buttons are right there. I, personally, am more focused on important things like getting laundry and cleaning done, balancing the grocery budget, making three home-made meals a day, and preparing nutritionally appropriate food from scratch for a sick, elderly cat with multiple food allergies than making shit up about ourselves to get attention and sympathy online. We're well past the point of giving a fuck what people think.
