Reasons for the Fear of Losing Someone:
Previous Events Past losses ā whether fromĀ divorce, death, or separation ā can have a long-lasting effect. A dread of losing someone in the future may be brought on by these events.
Attachment Styles:Ā being afraid of failureĀ is more common in those with anxious or avoidant attachment styles. They could have trouble trusting people and worry about being abandoned.

camchase as a hilson parallel except itās chase who is 100% wilson and cameron who is 160% house
#hate crimes md#malpractice posting#chameron#hilson#yes i'm tagging this hilson. bc i am right#trust me on this. itās way more accurate this way.#sure chase us a house parallel in other ways but in this?#cameron who keeps self sabotaging and is afraid of failure and refuses to try#cameron who keeps trying to reduce the relationship to rational and emotionless terms#to make it scientific against all evidence and feeling#who is terrified of that kind of vulnerability#who has suffered terrible heartbreak and loss and lets it color every inch of her#who refuses to change and open up because thatās a loss of control#and chase who really truly believes if he tries hard enough it will make up for any lack#who is loyal to cameron to the end and takes all manner of neglect and thoughtlessness#not because heās so selfless and wonderful and kind but because heās just as screwed up#and knows it#and feels like cameron is maybe his only chance#maybe his first real chance#at any kind of love of affection#and spends most of his time looking desperately for connection in all the wrong ways#settling for the first people he sees#falling in love and being unable to sustain or fake it longer than a few days#i am. telling you.

Rotating Etho's choice to protect his allies in my mind. Obviously they made incredible escapes and held their own but Etho also refusing to sell out Cleo and Grian meant that nearly everyone else died, some died multiple times, most lost additional hearts, hurt alliances (Scott: Gem has no band loyalty!), and did not gain something like 120 hearts total
Meanwhile, Cleo and Grian get to feel secure in their alliance, not go red, and actually finish their tasks. The playing field has obviously been levelled significantly and they still suffered, but Etho facilitated his alliance gaining the most where everyone else lost the most
Obviously it's a display his loyalty first and foremost but he also played the game, ran the numbers, and counted himself out of success knowing it would be diminishing returns to go after them and I just think that's neat
#i dont know how itll play socially with the rest of the server but it was cool#skizz hunting tango and saying he wants him back#tango saying hes not afraid to end him#gem attacking scott and him recognising it as a betrayal#bdubs peeling off to talk to martyn about being a big dog#its great content and its easy to get swept up in the task and i dont fault anyone for the choices they made#but etho took a step back and said actually who does this help? me? at the cost of my alliance?#grian who begged for friends and cleo who has made no secret about how much loyalty matters to her#eoughjjj#secret life spoilers#trafficblr#ethoslab#sorry for ethoposting#also just to reiterate hes not solely responsible for the collective failure or protecting his allies#he could have reasonably assumed that scott series winner smajor would have escaped and it would be a lost cause regardless#and cleo enderpearld all over the server and grian invis pot from his tower they did a lot

im someone who stuggles not to let his curiosity and drive sometimes (often) cross over into an overwhelming and maladaptive need for answers, for explanation, for certainty. someone who, historically, sees making art as a primarily intellectual exercise. this is not inherently a bad thing, we all have our temperaments and this kind of attention can be a strength. but, you know that artist who makes a painting, and then only wants to show it while explaining it to you? thats me, sometimes, more often than i like. every story i used to write had another hundred page document behind it, explicating every single choice -- often i would simply read that, instead of ever actually write the story itself. the explanation precedes everything. the answers alone are the experience.
david lynch's work and philosphy has been and is a vital foothold in my efforts to learn to love the questions as our breath. learn to appreciate intuition and dreams, trust them instead of fear them. learn to see that the world has so much confusing, uncertain, strange beauty, that can be terrifying but turns sublime when you cease rejecting it from fear. when you embrace the unknown and dont try to immediately & anxiously explicate it all away, a whole new world opens up to you. that you need the darkness in order to dream, and you need dreams in order to live fully immersed in what the world has to offer. a foothold in learning to be okay with abstraction, with imperfect subjectivity, with uncertainty. to know it is not anthitetical to truth and meaning. know that to skillfully make ideas come alive into a work *is* to rationally pin them down, but that you cannot lose sight of the intuition they were born as.
his artistic intuition reminds me of what i need to have -- the trust and humility for experiencing the inexplicable and understanding that to be enough. a devotion to ideas and their realisation. a balancing force, for my endless inquiry -- to not forget to live the question in my the search for an answer. to allow some thing to go without clear or universal explanation, allow for some things to remain unresolved, allow for others to have that be their resolution. it's why his work equal parts captivates me and disturbs me -- i am very bad at this. but feel in my heart a need to get better at it. to be a better artist, a better thinker, a better searcher, a better person. you need to feel it, intuitively, quiet your endless noisy need for an answer and simply let it fill you up, let it resonate intuitively, and find in that how life makes sense to you and you alone. mediation, mindfulness, humility to sit with abstraction without trying to pin it down. more and more i try to understand this. some things don't need to make perfect sense. some things dont need answers, or their answers are not the point. some things dont need anything but to be experienced as they enter you -- like dreams do. that can lead you to the answer, and that can also be enough in itself. that can be just an intrinsic value in being alive to experience it. and so often, it is all in conversation with the search for joy. it's why he feels so captivating, so unique, so tremendously alive. why people use the word "visionary" when talking about him. because he knew how to use his medium in all the potential he could see, so that it let you live in the strangeness and questions. he understood them as sublime, he understood them as enough, he understood them as a joy. he understood them as beautiful. and his memory will remind me to do the same; always to seek the space to dream.
#(in dreams / oh in dreams / the snake will find its tail)#i am! a guy! who likes! answers!!#someone who resolves his fear of monsters in the closet by picking up a flashlight and brazenly throwing open the door!!#but at my worst i am also extremely anxious and thus avoidant!!#so i will resolve my fear of monsters in the closet by opening the doors wide and then simply pretending to see whats inside#searching for answers without the bravery to sit with questions#this makes me worse!! it makes me worse!!!!#thank you david lynch for reminding me over and over again that the way to stop being afraid of the dark#is to not stop at all#but instead embrace that disquiet. open the closet door wide as it will get. turn off the flashlight#and simply sit in front of it#observing -- simply observing -- whatever shapes emerge#letting them fill you up#and then doing something with them#also... man#lynch is one of the few things my mom and i almost completely agree on and could connect through#despite everything i feel like she gets this necessity for humility and curiosity and quieting down your need for answers#and not to get overshary on the tumblrs but it is a source of friction at times#because of my me and like. the abuse. i dont want someone whose failure of self knowledge gave me cptsd to tell me i should *think less*#but idk it's precious that through lynch we find a common ground in which to agree about it#i think i get what she was trying to tell me a little better now. or maybe what she would've liked to be trying to tell me#idk tldr i had a violent childhood where nothing made sense and everything was scary so now i struggle not to be desperate for#certainty and knowledge as protection. and the way i always found that was through art and philosophy so. yeah.#lynchs work helps me like... calm down a bit about that and do it better#to learn to love the strange and the confusing and the disquieting not see it always as a threat#to sit in the dark and see it for what it is. painful and beautiful. tender and hard. its deeply relieving. its good#hole in the world dude im gonna miss him really bad all i can feel rn is sadness gratitude and joy#forever in dreams#david lynch#mine

Can I talk a little about how badly Kim broke Francesca's heart in the SK timeline?
First of all, I've seen some people say they headcanon Fran as bi (because Tumblr) and I have no reason to be against that, but having a crush on Kim doesn't necessarily make you bi. But at the very least, she had the same positive first impression of Kim that most people do: professional, kind of stern but shrewd, had a lot of integrity. Jimmy came across as kind of a goofball, but on the other hand, he was the one who actually wanted to hire her.
And over the course of the few months she worked for her, that respect grew. When "Wexler & McGill's" office closed and she had to go back to the MVD, it was a definite blow. When Jimmy's practice reopened, and she returned only to find that Kim had left but she had for some reason married Jimmy, she was a little caught off guard, but for the most part she was happy for them.
Then only four months later they were divorced. And it was at that point that Fran's life got measurably worse. And look, deciding to stay was Francesca's choice and no one else's, and she has to live with that. The sexual harassment she put up with, the crimes she aided, the blood money she accepted, she could have walked away at any time. But the fact that she also lost self-respect only compounds how badly she lost respect for Jimmy during those years. On some level, she only respected Kim more because she did walk away from this. But some part of her stayed because she felt bad! Whether or not she ever learned about what happened to Howard, maybe some tiny part of her empathized with Saul's bitterness, about how suddenly Kim had up and left. She was the only other person who even slightly understood how it felt to have this amazing woman drift into your life only to disappear again, and she didn't want to leave Saul alone with that.
Then all the shit hit the fan and Jimmy went into hiding. But right before the office closed for good, surprise surprise, who should come out of the woodwork to call inquiring whether he was ok. And Francesca understood; as much as she would have liked to tell Kim to put that clown out of mind, of course she was concerned; Kim was a good person... right? She passed the message along, but in the back of her mind, alarm bells were already going off that she might be facilitating something she had no remaining patience to be in the middle of.
The last she had heard of Saul, Francesca saw in the news that Jimmy was sentenced to life, and she was happy to wash her hands of the situation, saying that was the end of that. Another six years passed. But one afternoon, out of the blue, her phone rings from a number she didn't recognize. She still questions what even possessed her to pick up at all. It was Jimmy, and he was... happy. "Hey Francesca!" she hears Kim chime in over speaker phone. No, she didn't want to fly out to Wyoming to watch them retie the knot; were they fucking serious?! Francesca just stood there for a few seconds, phone in hand, numb, not really listening as the lovebirds continued to talk, the disgust just slowly settling in. Ultimately she hung up without saying anything. That person with so much integrity she met all those years ago... was she ever even real? Did it all mean nothing?! Was- was she just keeping her seat warm while the bad parts of Jimmy were too inconvenient for Kim to handle? After all those years working for Saul, Francesca didn't think it was possible to be more cynical than she already was, but this really takes the cake! Don't have heroes! Don't look up to anyone! Everyone's just doing whatever suits them in the moment.
It's not like Kim was trying to rub it in Francesca's face. She acknowledges now that divorcing Jimmy was a mistake, and she feels bad for leaving her holding the bag. She wants to make it up to her; inviting her to the wedding was her way of trying to say that she hasn't forgotten about her and doesn't take for granted all she's done for her family. But it's not like Kim was at all surprised the answer was no. Francesca has every right to be fed up with them at this point, and if it's what she wants, Kim will leave her alone from now on. Kim knew she was burning the few remaining bridges she had by going back to her criminal life. But on the other hand, what was she supposed to do, spend the rest of her life living a lie just because some people preferred that version of her to the truth? She really is sorry she hurt Francesca, disappointed her so profoundly, but she just doesn't have it in her to keep pretending. All she can do now is stay away.

#slippin kimmy#better call saul#kim wexler#francesca liddy#Kim kind of craves confirmation that people hate her in this timeline if you haven't picked up on that#not so much in a self-sabotaging way; just being judged for being āMrs. Saul Goodmanā gives her a sense of some moral logic#in the universe where it feels like everything else about the world has gone mad#Like she had Iris fully expecting to feel like a failure as a mother at some point because she feels like she wasted so much of her life#afraid to make mistakes#Like the only way she's been able to get over what happened to Howard is accepting that leaving destruction in her wake is some inevitabili

sebastian failing a class because he's terrified of hunt is a good bit and this time it's not even that man's fault
#he fails not because his work is terrible. i don't even think hunt finds his work terrible. it's because he misses too many classes#but sebastian is so scared of the Prospect of hunt finding his work terrible he just doesn't go to class#<- genius. he then has to redo the class and see hunt again#i have dropped the lore before that hunt is one of sebastian's favourite directors right. i know i did because i remember mentioning#john cassavetes as well. anyway. sebastian looks up to hunt a lot and he's terrified of interacting with hunt and 1. hunt hating#him (conscious) 2. his idealised image of hunt being shattered (unconscious). this is kinda homosexual behaviour ngl#let's ignore that for a bit we can return to that later. point here is sebastian's avoidance of frustration and the unknown and of life#in general. sebastian does not have any kind of social anxiety. just want to clear that up. he's just an introvert but he has no issue#talking to people. when i say sebastian is a coward i mean he avoids frustration and/or pain to the point it immobilises him/makes him#apathetic to life. so he doesn't Do Stuff. because what if he fails? what if he's rejected? what if it doesn't work out? i do think there's#a level of anxiety/low self esteem here but i also think it's a very comfortable place to stay after a while. esp. when you have someone#else as your compass (claire. and later on donna a little i think). so he starts to believe he might never be able to do anything and that'#when the cult comes into the story. i've already written about this bit before. okay. so sebastian failing hunt's class is another example#of him being afraid of... stuff. life. putting himself out there. and he always thought film was his safe haven and that he had figured ou#this One Thing but he got to university and wow... i guess not! i like this fear being represented by hunt. actually two things:#1. i like how hunt acts as a Figure for both claire and sebastian in different ways given their different upbringings and#2. how both claire and hunt exist as these idealised figures in sebastian's mind representing different aspects of his life/perceived#failures/fears/whatever. and claire and hunt marry that's so fun! i wonder how that makes sebastian feel.#so returning to point number 2 from earlier: sebastian's fear of hunt being something else entirely (than what he had idealised) puts hunt#in the same spot as claire in sebastian's mind. if he were not in a cult he would have the realisation of a lifetime here#anyway there's a little blurring of things here. there's a little convergence of things here. things are superimposed i'd say.#he and i are so similiar claire says. i bet sebastian replies#oc: sebastian ballion#oh that last bit says a lot about huntclaire too but this post is not about them. but big fan of how enmeshed they are#hm... sebastian failing and redoing the class... putting himself in the same situation as before...

idk i still think luke's scar should've been worse
#like its the most noticeable thing about him it throws off his otherwise perfect golden boy image#it's a constant reminder of his failure on a quest that wasn't even uniquely his#he literally got his face clawed by a dragon why does it look so thin and faint#disney is so afraid of everything#still upset there was no hellhound so the water only healed knife cuts? medusa's head being invisible? every battle ending in .5 seconds?#what happened to being a demigod is scary and gets you killed in nasty painful ways rick
