Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival

(Part 2)

[1-800-crscnt]

i like to think of a lot of the guards on Coruscant having this running gag where they make up cartoonishly evil things Fox does and bring it up to him out of nowhere as if it's casual fact, typically around newer guardsmen or GAR troopers that barely interact with him if at all. Fox doesn't really care about any of this and ignores the jokes, but does occasionally worry that certain high ranking people are just constantly hearing about him doing things like drinking the blood of widowed women in order to slow his aging, or that he survives off of nightmares he gives his men by hiding under their bunks and making scary noises.

Heartbroken reminder that Egwene is 17 when she gets taken by the Seanchan, spends two months in captivity being tortured, used as a weapon and dehumanized. When she gets back to the Tower, she immediately passes a test that's not at all traumatic, nearly gets killed by a Grey Man and is sent on a secret mission to hunt murderers completely unsupervised. During this period of wandering, lacking direction, she naturally gets angrier and erratic, but Nyn and Elayne mostly treat it as childish rebellion against Nyn's authority, with Elayne slapping Egwene because she was mean to Nyn. When the girls eventually get captured because they are not equipped at all to hunt the Black Ajah, Egwene becomes so terrified of being taken again that she keeps on resisting the sisters long past it is sensible, earning a brutal beating from the sisters who throw her back into a cell, beaten to a pulp, with no hope for help this time.

Clearly, Egwene has no PTSD whatsoever.

I love Ame, truly, but everytime she talks I lose years off my lifespan from the stress of it all

wyatt johnston postgame   —   LAK vs DAL   —   01.16.24

[um, not to make more than it maybe should but, like, have you talked to joe about, when you get put on the line that he’s kinda been on, about what it’s like to play with those guys and things like that?]   a little bit. i think, um — not as much, you know, kinda like today or the past couple days but … just kinda, always? just kinda the way that those guys kind of stay tight and they’re always connected, always, um … just making small plays to each other. i feel like that’s one thing that he’s always kinda talked about, and that’s, you know, we try to take that from them, they obviously — um, you know, play really well together. um, so yeah, i just think kinda learning and then seeing them play and then, um, for me, just trying to jump in and, um, do, do the best thing to help them. [playing next to roope, just, what do you see from him and how he’s able to drive a line? he does good on the PK and powerplay too, but, how he’s able to play.]   yeah, um, i mean, he’s a lot of fun to play with, he can, obviously, shoot the puck really well, um … really good vision, can make some really good plays and obviously he’s, you know, one of the fastest players in the league, so, i mean, he can really do it all, which is — you know, makes him a lot of fun to play with. and, um, yeah, i think for me it’s just … um, i mean, trying to find him, i mean, he’s pretty good at finding open spaces and he’s good at finding you when you’re in an open space. um, yeah, i mean i think overall, just a lot of fun to play with. um, yeah, obviously, you have a really special player.

(For the game) I think the doctor should have more diverse companions. Give them more non human alien companions! Give them a companion is who fundamentally bad, who they have realize they can’t fix

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

yeah!!!!! oh and can i add to that! one thing i'd love to see? just like. a companion who is religious. in a way that is taken account into in the narrative and that is like. discussed? you know, how does going on time travel universe hopping adventures effect one's religious ideas. that would be fascinating to me. i think we've gotten like blanket statement things about future humans adjusting their religious beliefs or whatever but that's not what im interested in exactly. i want like. what does it do, to a modern human with modern religious ideas, to have to adjust that to aliens and shit. and how does their way of incorporating this life with the doctor reflect their character!

i think that'd be fascinating!!! and someone definitely smarter than me out there could probably write an incredible buddhist companion for the doctor and draw on the obvious cultural influences borrowed about cycles of reincarnation in constructing the doctor's whole regeneration thing to discuss shit. maybe one day. i'd love to see it.

[likebreadandwine]

sorry to hear you're unwell! i hope you're able to rest and recover and get what you need 💗

thank you! I hope so too.

I'm feeling pretty frustrated and disappointed with my mental health, because I think I've been doing a lot of things right and I'm still unwell. but I'll get myself sorted out, in time.

Got a bad grade in occupational health checkup today. My bloodwork from last week came back with alarmingly low haemoglobin levels, which is not exactly new or surprising, but it is a new low, to the extent that apparently the physician who called me about it today doesn't remember the last time she saw someone this anemic.

She also somewhat chewed me out about not taking steps to address the probable root issue (a heavy period) through public healthcare since my last checkup. Except I could swear three years ago this same doctor basically told me to take ibuprofen about it when I said my period was affecting my quality of life. I even remember complaining to people about how I wasn't really offered a solution.

But whatever, I guess we're addressing it now.

[the-moogle-of-your-nightmares]

something i'm starting to have suspicions about and that i wish i had ever seen discussion of in disordered-multiplicity spaces: the idea that executive dysfunction, combined with the way certain neurotypes respond to it and the unique kinds of sustained, repeated trauma associated with that process, can result in DID (or its variations/cousins).

for a long time i thought it was just a matter of my having shitty memory in general, and i don't doubt that's contributed, but like. 'this is Too Fucking Much. for the sake of self-preservation it is going in the memory hole/happened in a Different Plane of Reality/happened to Someone Else. there are a lot of the latter, and being able to go 'hey who's in charge of this bit/who was around when it happened and was relevant' makes me function much better when i do,' among many other things, sound...... familiar lmao. and i'm starting to feel like the shitty memory is a contributor to that because the part of my brain that's Inclined to Do This has a quick and convenient way to dump this stuff somewhere and hide it from me.

i really, really wish there were more discussion of this kind of thing out there. and i wish it were easier to find resources and tools for working through the disordered part which come from sources i trust (more) not to be ableist, overly pathologizing, and wildly uneducated about this shit in the way that only psychiatric institutions can be. augh.
