Okay, here’s one thing I think When The Phone Rings doesn’t understand.

When someone suffers from selective mutism, they CAN TALK!

Like, it would be totally believable and understandable that she can talk to her husband on the phone and still suffer from selective mutism. That’s what the selective part of selective mutism means.

But it’s like, the moment anyone realizes she is capable of making sounds, they think she’s cured and faking it (which she is) but that is not the case at all.

And honestly it is wholly believable that after pretending to be mute for so long she would actually develop selective mutism since it occurred during her developmental phase.

I can’t believe people are acting like Solas and Varric aren’t friends….did you listen to their dialogues? They talk philosophy, laugh, ask each other questions, give advice, Solas even goes from polite but distant ‘master tethras’ to a friendly ‘varric’ in the span of a few conversations. Solas took genuine interest in his writing and read his books. Varric even invites him to play Wicked Grace. Foolish.

It must be so funny to be Cass (inmesurable trauma aside) and one of your friends or siblings tries to go to you like "omg i like someone" and you have to pretend it's a shock as if you didn't know who they have a crush on, for how long, how long it took them to realise and the exact moment that made them catch feelings.

And then they are like "do you think i have a chance" and you have to be supportive without letting slip that they absolutely have a chance because you read the requited attraction in the other person's body language and didn't pre-emptively gave the shovel talk already

Honestly I see Jimmy's refusal to put Curly out of his misery less about his weird feelings of envy or his delusions but the fact Curly is all but stated to be a shield to Jimmy from his actions and people seeing the worst in him.

The only characters that Jimmy really interacts with one on one before the crash are Curly and Anya, two individuals he has wildly different relationships with. It's likely that Curly really did most of the talking between them as the pilots and the rest of the crew as staff. They didn't know of Jimmy's more reprehensible behaviors cause they never really had the chance to and Jimmy is subconsciously aware. If they had disliked him more than Anya would have told Swansea earlier or even Daisuke when things got really bad.

It's why he takes the immediate opportunity to blame Curly; He's the shield. He's saved Jimmy's ass more times than he can count and more times than Jimmy would ever admit. Even when he can't really do it anymore, he mentally shields himself from his own faults by putting Curly between them. Letting Curly die puts too much on him because he doesn't know how to function without a safety net.

In the end Curly only lives because Jimmy needs the idea that Curly will inevitably make things better to stay alive, meaning Curly has to live, no matter how much it pains him to do so.

don't worry Pep, i'm sure you'll figure out those memories in due time. maybe for now you should take it easy. we just want to make sure you're doing okay first.

Pep: "Struh daeh ym nehw yllaicepse, sgniht fo tol a dnatsrednu t'nod I tub... Dnatsrednu I fi erus ton... M'I..."

Pep: "Sdneirf htiw retteb rebmemer pleh nac... Oot ti ees nac sdneirf taht ecin elttil a si ti tub..."

Peppino: "Here Pep."

Peppino: "Might as well-a join you for floor time for a bit."

Peppino: "Bruno...? I don't-a personally know a Bruno, but now that I think about it; the building I came out of after the fight with Pep was-a called 'Bruno Pizza'."

Peppino: "I didn't think of it much at the time - since I had just ran for my life, being chased by a giant, warped version of myself - but it was kinda odd... Why did he put a random restaurant in the tower...?"

Pep: "..."

Pep: "..."

Peppino: "What the- Pep...?"

Pep: "...!"

Peppino: "Pep!"

Pep: "!!!"

Peppino: "Woah, woah, easy there Pep! You got pretty-a lost in your thoughts again!"

thinking about what if data were aromantic. even after he gets the emotion chip put in, he still just doesn’t feel romantic love, and doesn’t understand what other people are feeling when they talk about it. and he’s really upset at first because he feels like after everything he’s been through to get here he still isn’t fully human. there’s still a piece missing. he’s tapped into every work of art humans have ever created and romance seems so ubiquitous that he thinks you can’t be human without it

i’m imagining this as like a b or c plot of an episode. maybe he’s been working with a crew member who turns out to be aromantic and they commiserate about how alienating it can be to hear everyone talk about romance all the time. everyone comes together at the end to help him realize that he feels so many different kinds of love, and no human’s experience with emotions is exactly the same and your humanity doesn’t depend on what emotions you do or don’t feel anyway

i think this would be a good episode. i would enjoy it

[to-fall-or-not-to-fall]

ok so i was thinking about stuff

and imo denethor latches onto how much better boromir is mostly after he dies

like yes the palantir has def been influencing him and he's been slipping into general hopelessness but we see that even in merry and pippin

and i make no claims regarding his parenting while he still has two living sons

but it really seems like some of his behavior towards faramir is centered around how boromir SACRIFICED HIMSELF, faramir, do you see how much better your brother is than you? now go measure up by doing that and see if you're worth something after all

and thats that he literally sends faramir off on a suicide mission to prove he's just as good

to clarify i am NOT making excuses for denethor here im just mentioning smth i noticed about how much of his character esp in the movie revolves around boromir's death rather than really boromir himself

he's forgotten that even his elder son was only human

raised him on a pedestal in his mind that no one, least of all faramir who dared to live when boromir died, can ever measure up too

essentially sainthood

in life a human, in death seen as a god

or something close

we went over the 14yr long torture session in my last therapy visit actually, and i told her that toward the end i was fantasizing about and then actively considering walking into traffic because if i got catastrophically injured then they would have to treat my pain. and she told me that's not an uncommon thing for people to do. that she has heard that many times before.

like think about that. we are so moralistic about drug use and have politicized a particular type of medicine so much, and doctors are so uncompassionate toward and even suspicious of patients who are in pain because of it, that it's NOT UNCOMMON for people who are otherwise not suicidal to start completely genuinely longing to get hit by a fucking car just for the chance to be oh so graciously provided the absolute bare fucking minimum of care.

think about how many different things have pain as a symptom. how many things have pain as the only symptom the patient is aware of. how many of them are life or death crises. heart attacks. blood clots. strokes. bleeding ulcers. those are just what i can think of off the top of my fucking head, AND I'M NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR.

what i had, for example, feels exactly like appendicitis. and they left it for fourteen years because my only symptom was excruciating pain and i didn't fit their stupid little (completely unsupported by evidence, btw) diagnostic mnemonic. if it had been appendicitis, or anything else as immediately deadly that "just" hurts, i would have fucking died the same night i got sent home from the emergency room with "medical" "advice" to take some tylenol and rest - for the first time, that is. out of dozens. how many people do die that way?

because addicts are Bad. and because doctors are too arrogant and biased to practice medicine on the basis of evidence and informed consent when the profit model and conservative propaganda make it soooo easy to stay in the good old days of paternalism instead.

Something I want people to know before they get into it, is the orientalism in Kill Six Billion Demons, and Morrowind as it’s predecessor. They both present themselves as these “weird fantasy worlds” that are both clearly inspired by MENA & Asian cultures. Part of the appeal is certainly the lack of familiarity on Western readers part. It reads as new and innovative to those unfamiliar with the aspects of the culture. The draw of the unknown is appealing to people, regardless of where you’re from. However, the issue arises with the cultural dominance of Western countries and the continual ‘othering’ of these countries, which are continually treated as interchangeable.
