Hii so I know you posted your absolutely fire Dr Ratio analysis a hot minute ago now (bear with me I am going somewhere with this) But I suddenly had such a moment and remembering how awesome you write my fav hsr character I was wondering if you could enlighten me on this… 

Okay So Dr Ratio as a Father. Its random ik but I am a sucker for family dynamics and was wondering what you think he would be like as a parent and caregiver, how would he go about raising a you know whole person 😭? How would that impact his character?! This is just so fun to think about and I really would like to know what you think about this idea!!! 

FUCKING I WAS GONNA GET TO THIS AND THEN LIFE HIT ME WITH A PAN TO THE FACE.

First of all, I am HONOURED that you think I have enough knowledge to enlighten you, so I'm going to drop my thoughts on this.

I can kind of see Dr. Ratio as a dad, honestly - he reminds me a lot of my own father, whom I have a relatively solid relationship with. He definitely would love his child, but he would be harsh on them sometimes but would encourage critical thinking and for them to form their own opinions. He would not work his kid into the ground or force them to go after being a genius or anything along those lines - he would encourage independence and he would try to expose them to multiple different kinds of things in order to help them figure out where their passions lie in order to help them along.

I don't think he would be the best with his child's emotions - he isn't very good with his own, I think - but he does his best, and he truly does care for his child. That child would probably motivate him to try and understand himself more so that he could be a better caretaker, I believe, and would encourage him to acknowledge his own issues so that he could take care of another living being. I'm sure he would push his kid, but not to an unhealthy degree - just so that they wouldn't stay stagnant. Overall, he'd be a solid dad.

What are your thoughts on people who fake mental disorders?

Actually, I'm going to go in depth about this (even though I should probably be studying for my exams.)

First of all, faking mental disorders is wrong. You shouldn't be doing it, it takes away from the people that actually need resources for dealing with their issues, and I think everyone can just state how plain wrong it is.

However, there is another side to this.

I believe people that fake mental disorders are in genuine need of help. Faking something much worse than what you actually have is a genuine cry for help. Yes, they're seeking attention - seeking it because they have no other way to reach out for help. They could also be trying to get attention because they were emotionally neglected when they were children and never got the proper love and care that they should have gotten.

Usually, if you're faking a disorder, it means that you have your own plethora of issues to do with being acknowledged, not seen, and being brushed off when you regularly asked for help. If someone is faking serious shit, it means that they have serious issues too, and that it should be acknowledged and that they should get help for their own issues, but not for the disorder that they were faking having.

You shouldn't be faking disorders. But for some people, it's a last resort to ask for help, or a way to get the attention that they crave because they were never loved.

TLDR: People who fake disorders have issues, and need help too.

I feel Yanqing’s supposed “BPD” traits are more about him having hints of having depression and anxiety than BPD, and also he’s a pretty isolated kid so it was natural for him to attach himself into the only person that gave him affection other than being respected or dismissed as a cloud knight/lieutenant? Or dunno what do you think?

That's what I think as well - I believe that he has depression, anxiety, and PTSD from being a child soldier. He's been working all his life and although he does show some symptoms that do point to BPD, I do not believe that he has it, as symptoms naturally overlap with one another for different mental health issues. I think it's natural for a child to latch onto a source of comfort like a caregiver, and also when put into a stressful situation like that depression, a lack of self worth, and general mental health issues can absolutely arrive. He shows some symptoms, but those symptoms generally overlap or more generally point to things like depression rather than BPD, in my opinion. I do not mean to shame or persecute anybody who has this HC - people are free to do so as they please, and no hate to anybody who HCs him with this, but according to what I know, it just doesn't line up for me. I hope I covered everything, I'm a little bit distracted!

DR RATIO ANALYSIS PT 3 BUT IT'S JUST GAY

Now, you might be saying - "Aurae, you've done part one, and part two, so why do we need a part three?" The answer is because of two things - one. I made a deal with the Tumblr Peoples that if one of my posts hit more than 50 likes I would do this analysis. Two. Mihoyo is making this shit canon. I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP. So, let's delve into my usual disclaimer, as we might have some new people joining us for the first time with my insanity.

I have been researching psychology personally for about six years, so although I am not a professional (crawling my way there through the education system. I will be one, one day.) I do have some experience with analyzing homosexuals. Psychology hours, my children. They don't call me "chronically cooking" for nothing. Maybe I should change my url to that...

NOW THAT MY LONG AHH DISCLAIMER IS OVER, LET'S GET INTO THIS! It's time to deconstruct these homosexuals like a modern airplane, because they might as well be taking off with how canon they are.

"It can't be canon," they say, but then Mihoyo DOES PAID SPONSORSHIPS WITH THESE FUCKERS BEING GAY. We've all seen the paid partnership edit. We've all seen the video where Aventurine has the audio of "nice rack" as he talks to Dr. Ratio. PAID SPONSORSHIPS. Now, if that piece of evidence isn't enough for you - let's dive into their actual relationship, which is just a HOMOSEXUAL MESS. I will be focusing more on how Dr. Ratio sees this guy as this is a Dr. Ratio analysis™, but hey, the crumbs.. we eat 'em all. Amen.

Let's start off (I say as I write this part three days later) about how people are like, 'Aven is Ratio's favourite idiot' WRONG. Ratio does NOT consider Aventurine to be an idiot and knows that he is smart and capable in his own right. While Ratio is book smart, Aven is extremely street smart and holds his own very well. Ratio does not consider Aventurine to be an idiot as he takes off his plaster head around him and actually indulges in his whims around him. This is a blatant showcase of fondness because although he is emotionally constipated and can't be affectionate through words without sounding semi-backhanded because he's never had true affection in his life, he showcases his love through actions rather than words. He's just bad at showing love, okay? But he does love Aven. Or like him, to some extent, if you don't want to see them as romantic, which is fine. However, no matter what you label their bond as, it's obvious that they care for one another.

Also, the fucking ZEST FEST that was 'keeping up with Star Rail'. He says, "wait a minute - MUTUAL?" which indicates that he has respect for Aventurine in the first place. He LITERALLY TOLD US that he respects Aventurine and he was commenting on Aventurine's playstyle & everything.. also, at the end, he was here because 'I appreciate this show's dedication to knowledge' - his TONE. Kudos to the VA because that was not convincing at all. Bro was NOT here for the knowledge, bro was here to be GAY!!! Also his little own bathtub couch. We all know Aven bought it for him. Trust, I am John Hoyoverse.

"The Charming Audacity" HUH? BRO? Okay this is hilarious to me because this is the first time that we ever really see them interact with one another, and we get absolutely bitchslapped in the fact that Dr. Ratio calls this guy's audacity 'charming'. That's GAY. That's HOMOSEXUAL.

Also, comparing him to a peacock.. a very beautiful bird.... Must I say more?

Now, the part that I really want to focus on is the part where he gives the Doctor's Note to Aventurine. This shit is important. And I agree with the people who are like - Acheron helped him. Because she did. She was a big part of it and she helped Aventurine get back on his feet in the void. Dr. Ratio is not his only reason to live, but the note, showing that someone will stay by his side? Showing that someone truly cares for him? Someone who's waiting for him when he get back? This bond that he has with Dr. Ratio isn't fake. He already has a starting point to get back to - an anchor to return to. Dr. Ratio is his anchor. Whenever he goes off to do crazy shit, Veritas Ratio will be there when he returns. Because Ratio is loyal. Ratio cares. He cared enough to almost jeopardize their plan to make sure that Aventurine was going to be okay. He cares so damn much about Aventurine that he decided that this man's emotional state after the fake betrayal was more important than all of fucking Penacony.

If you want an example of "I would let the world burn for you," it's Ratio. He's a romantic not in the traditional sense, but he cares and loves Aventurine so damn much it makes my heart hurt. "Do stay alive," he says, knowing that Aventurine struggles with living. Those three words mean the whole fucking world to someone who struggles with suicidal ideation and suicidal thoughts. Someone wants you to live. Someone wants you to stay. Someone wants you by their side.

Dr. Ratio cares. Let me say that again - he cares. He banters with Aventurine, tries to create an environment where Aventurine can feel a little bit more comfortable with the two of them, even in a place as dangerous as Penacony. He will put his own life on the line for Aventurine.

He cares. He cares so damn much. I hate gay people. They make me VIOLENTLY homophobic.

Dr. Ratio after expressing his care indirectly and complimenting Aventurine indirectly: Did I do it?

Aventurine, who has caught none of the hints:

Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

i got a psych question for you (kinda), is it possible for a child to be bad and to continue growing up that way eventhough that child was raised well?

Yes, it is. If a child with a disability or mental illness grows up without support for those particular things yet are "raised well" in other factors can lead to them becoming a "bad child". Also, the person we are depends on multiple factors - not just family experiences can shape you, but exterior experiences like having friends and being shunned or treated badly by other people can influence the way that you act, think, etc.

[aurae-rori]

i found the ask box!!!! :D

for your "ask me psych questions" thing: how difficult is it for humans to change their thought processes and/or behavior, without outside help? (professional or otherwise)

You found the ask box! :D

Honestly, this depends on a lot of factors. Age, if they have mental illness or not, if they have trauma or not - but the all around answer is generally very hard and close to impossible. However, let's dive into the factors that affect this answer and why I say that it is very hard, and close to impossible.

If you are a child, the chances of you being able to switch your mindset (assuming you have no extreme childhood trauma) are rather easy. Your brain is still developping and the person you are is still changing. This is natural, so therefore, without any external help, the person that you are naturally changes and your mindset can change as well.

However, if you are an adult, the changes of changing on your own are very low without outside intervention. By the time that your brain is fully developed, it doesn't really want to change because it's decided on what kind of thought process it wants to have and what it wants to be. By yourself, you're probably going to be stuck in that particular thought process until someone pulls you out of it, simply because it's familiar an d the brain doesn't really want to change now that it's fully developed and stuck in its ways.

However - there are a few other factors to take into consideration. One - trauma. Two - disabilities and disorders + mental illness. When a child experiences trauma at a young age, the typical response is to dissociate immediately because the child's brain cannot understand nor process what is happening. This can lead to a disconnect in identity later, which can lead to fluidity in thought processes or a thought process that you cannot let go of, depending on what kind of trauma you experienced.

However, on the topic of disorders - they can be very hard to manage by yourself. This is why it is so important for them to have support and therapy to help them deal with their thought processes and manage to get them to a healthier place, because getting yourself out of your own cycle by yourself when you're struggling with something like BPD, is very hard. Also, in the case of having something like depression (which I do have), I found myself stuck in my self-hatred and my self-wallowing and I definitely couldn't have been able to get out of that cycle without outside help due to how easy it is to just fall into that familiar area of hating yourself so much. However, it's important to keep in mind that even with outside help, people can simply just not change.

People have to change for themselves, and not anyone else.

If you want me to expand on any of this, I will be more than happy to do so.

This was really fun to write. :)

DR RATIO ANALYSIS: PART 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

SPOILERS FOR 2.1 CONTENT.

Now, you might be saying - "Aurae, you already did one, why do you need a second?" And my answer is, "LORD, I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT HOW HIS DEFINITION OF 'IDIOT' IS DIFFERENT. AND ALSO HE DOES NOT HATE AVENTURINE NOR DOES HE THINK AVENTURINE IS STUPID." Once again, here is my disclaimer - although I have been researching psychology for a solid six years, I am NOT a professional. (I will be, one day. Just you wait, just youuuu wait-) So understand that everything I say has been analyzed with personal judgement, with my own conclusions, come to with logic and my personal interpretation. This is just what I have concluded, and you are always free to disagree.

This is my legacy. To be an analyzer. So let's go.

Okay, now that my disclaimer is over, let's take off Ratio's plaster head and chuck it into the sea, and see - what does he mean by 'idiot'?

This will be much shorter than my last, so don't worry - I will not be flashbanging you with another 4k words. This is more like a follow up, than anything else, because there's a few things I wish to touch on.

Dr. Ratio doesn't hate idiots in the sense that he hates people that have 'low IQ' or are 'stupid' in terms of being 'slow to understand'. I definitely touched on this in my last analysis, but he hates people who take their education for granted and don't go places with the gifts that they've been given. He hates "idiots" - "narrow minded" people who have the capabilities to do more and perceive more than they choose to do. People who deliberately look away or take what they know and what they could do for granted. He wants to open people's eyes and allow them to see life from multiple different angles and he believes that everyone should have a chance to learn - with the whole "knowledge for everyone" thing he's got rolling.

He wears a plaster head around people he doesn't seem to know too well in order to think more, or so that he doesn't have to see the faces of the people he dislikes. Pretty good roast. However, he does NOT wear that plaster head around Aventurine. Let's listen to the doctor's judgement - Aventurine is far from stupid. Although he likes to chalk up a lot of the things he does to his own luck, he is an INCREDIBLY capable individual who's managed to get this far because of his own form of genius. He's a man who relies on chance and good fortune, yes, but his charm, his way of scheming, and the way that he's good with people? That's skill. A talent he doesn't take for granted. Dr. Ratio respects him for this - because despite the fact that he has no proper education, he has his eyes wide open to the world and doesn't take shit for granted. He learns what he can in order to survive and he does it fucking well - Aventurine is a very smart man. He's observant, quick on his feet, and great at going with the flow and thinking in the moment.

Aventio aside, I actually believe that Dr. Ratio would be a really good teacher to those who struggle. He's patient where it's needed to be, even if he's got a quick temper, and I believe in his pursuit for knowledge he would do his best to go out of his way to find strategies that would work for their individuals. We're all unique, and he's aware of this - and because he wants to allow people to think for themselves, whatever helps the individual works. Depression? He's got a psych degree, I'm sure bro could give you some strategies. Autism? He has a touch of the 'tism himself. ADHD, and not feeling organized? Bro will help you. It's canon that he's a great fucking teacher - those who finish his classes go on to become successful people who are intelligent and critical thinkers. Round of applause for Ratio, the man that kins my father. He's shit at emotions, but great at knowledge.

Also, on that note, I believe that he would most likely hate parents that push thier "gifted" students to the limit without any compassion for the person that they really are. He's most definitely got some of that academic trauma so I believe that bro holds a secret disdain for parents who just use their children to gain more recgonition. Well, not so secret. He'd cuss them out. (Ratio please cuss out the horrible parents.)

Dr. Ratio, the Teacher ever. (Hey, maybe he'd get along with Kunikida...)

Also, I am definitely planning on making a fic where he teaches Aventurine Latin. As long as you're eager to learn and willing to look past the chalk being thrown, he's got a place for you.

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk. I did not read this through, so this is not edited. Take my unedited rambles.

guys what if i did dr ratio analysis... Part Two. (I need to continue and speak on the fact that he does not actually hate "idiots" in the sense of people who have "low IQ", he hates people who put their talent to waste and hates people who take their education for granted. however, on that note, i think he would actually be more than happy to go out of his way to make accommodations for students, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and help them find better/more enjoyable ways to study. talent and knowledge exist to be used, after all, it would be a shame if you didn't do a little good in the world with what you know. bro would be a great teacher for the people with mental illnesses or people who struggle with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, etc... bro would also hate the parents that push their kids too hard because they're "gifted" because he knows how that feels... ratio you are the Teacher... guys ill write a oneshot where he gently teaches aventurine latin trust me i promise i-
