#blurry ❓

Tip for if you're blurry/can't tell who's fronting/can't figure out who a new member is: the website same.energy is really helpful for us! We usually look through the "variety" page until an image feels right. It helps narrow it down, or at least figure out some information.

The site is kind of broken, so the only pages that work are "Variety" and searching. ("Variety" won't show up unless you type something in the search bar and then delete it again.)

Be warned that the site can have images of pretty much anything, including slight NSFW/nudity and blood/gore/anatomy (the more graphic images of both should be blurred unless you change your tag preferences), creepy/scary images, weapons, trypophobia, distorted faces, eyes, etc. Tread with caution. Most of the variety page should be fairly safe though.

Not to talk about random shit on this blog but I need to talk about Inside Out 2 because I LOVED IT so much. (this is not a professional analysis at all just ramblings) (also SPOILERS)

First things first, I loved the character designs so freaking much. Little Envy being so small she has to be carried, and her cute little dress?? I was like crying looking at her. Ennui like not even being able to sit up right cuz she cares so little. I love her emo design and just the fact that she's French is so random but I love it. I wish she had more of a role in the movie though.

Embarrassment being so big he can barely fit in the frame. His hoodie covering up his entire face except his nose is so cute. And Anxiety being high strung, like, physically, her stringy hair tied up! And her awkward smile and deer in the headlights eyes, she is we. Oh, and Nostalgia literally having rose-colored glasses lol.

And its not just the emotions, the other designs were so good! The human characters being so much more diverse (having a Muslim teammate? Woah!) and Riley still looks like herself, just grown up a little. The 2D animation was so fun, and Riley's anime boyfriend having the like kingdom hearts animation style is hilarious.

(All of that text and I haven't even talked about the plot yet!)

I have a severe anxiety disorder, and of course, the main antagonist of the movie is Anxiety, that's not a hidden thing, so I was I little worried about them making her some kind of evil character. But genuinely, she was so well done. She was genuinely trying to help Riley be her better self, she just didn't understand that what she was doing was hurting her. She was planning for the future, a few little broken promises are nothing compared to a positive future! But she took it too far, and everything got to be too much. Riley wasn't good enough anymore. And she tried to fix that too, but it just led to an anxiety attack.

Three things I particularly liked were, one, that Joy getting angry at Anxiety didn't stop her because getting upset at someone having an anxiety attack only sends them spiraling further. Two, showing grounding techniques in the movie! Focusing on the things Riley could hear, see, touch.

And most importantly, three, the fact that the message wasn't that Anxiety is a horrible emotion that should never do anything. That's such an easy trap to fall into. But no, she has a role, too. Riley needed to study for that Spanish test, or else she could fail. But they calm Anxiety down when she gets too caught up in not making the team, because mom and dad will still love us if we fail, and there's always next year.

Plus, the fact that Joy didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to deal with the new emotions, and she didn't know how they were going to help Riley get her sense of self back. And she admitted that. And in the end, she was still a little wrong, just like in the first movie. Riley's sense of self changed, and that's okay, because she's her own person and deserves the space to change and be herself, no matter what that entails. Riley still needs to be happy, but she also needs to feel afraid and angry and sad and disgusted, and of course, embarrassed and anxious and envious and bored. The bad memories may leave a sour taste, but they can't just be hidden away.

There were some parts I didn't like (the whole 'you're delusional!' bit was really unfortunate, and the 'well that's a preview of the next 10 years' actually seems quite hurtful to the development of youth's emotional expression, being shamed for emotional outbursts), but overall, I really really enjoyed it, and I'm so glad that they were able to portray these emotions that are viewed negatively by many people in a more positive light.

y'know when we said that different people in our system have different opinions on different things, we do honestly find it pretty weird.

Like, one of the biggest things is that some of us have differing beliefs as to how we formed - which is the big one. Some believe that we're wholly traumagenic, others that we're mostly endogenic. There's a mix of other beliefs in there as well, but one of the main things most of us can agree on is that some of our members have different origins than others.

Like, we have an anti-endo in our system. we're partially endogenic. I have no idea how that works but - you do you. We have a lot of trauma formed members, but also a bunch of willogenic members as well. Not one of us is more real than the others, though some of us might feel that way sometimes. I don't know where I was going with this. Just felt like I needed to share.

Ok. So Cloud splits a nearly identical headmate who's basically him but more chaotic.

This new mf then decides to name itself...

NotCloud.

His name is NotCloud.

I'm.

reblog if you're sick of movies and tv shows perpetuating the idea that PTSD is always like a hypervivid flashback and that the hypervivid flashbacks can only happen if you've been in a literal warzone
