Re: this
No wonder my favorite ARG is a super obscure one with no definitive ending (yet) after almost a decade and involves a computer with human memories pleading for the sweet release of death by simply saying ominous shit like “SHUT DOWN ME”
#this is so sad Alexa play I Am Not A Robot by Marina and the Diamonds#I still find it creepy when I rewatch because of fucking Night Mind#but in reality I sympathize with it#I too wish to be rid of these humanoid ties#I too wish to embrace death to escape complex emotions I cannot properly process#it’s okay buddy if I ever get to the Mariana Trench we can go out together#; op’s pathetic existence#; shut the fuck up Micro

Anya is the actual protagonist of mouthwashing and I think she should be legally allowed to shoot any man she wants at any time and also should be given a nobel peace prize and $10 trillion. Also fuck Curly for being an abuse apologist and I want to throw jimmy directly into the sun
#mouthwashing#mouthwashing spoilers#also i understand why ppl sympathize w curly cause its impossible not to considering the state hes in#but also; its actually incredibly easy to not continue being friends with a predator#simply care about victims. about women specifically#but abuse victims generally! also as a victim of several forms of abuse i really related to anya and the portrayal of the harsh reality that#“good” people often aren't “safe” people for us. also#in response to curly defenders out there my response is source: i have literally personally cut a cis man out of my life immediately bc of#a work situation like this. did i think he was capable of such things? did i want to believe it? no but repeat after me:#BELIEVE VICTIMS holy fuck. its literally that simple. curly is a cowardly misogynist period !!!#anyway#9/10 game the gameplay is meh but that story... mmmmwah

the forever knights have "facts" about him.
#ben tennyson#ben 10#forever trapped au#ft!ben#i hid some lil messages in there for ppl who want to find them :3#it's not too hard just messages on a low opacity layer#i see them as a sort of cult in this au#the forever knights i mean#and this is the sort of stuff they'd show to dehumanize ben in the eyes of their followers#like 'ooh hes actually an evil alien in disguise and he wears the skin of a child to trick you into sympathizing with him'#when in reality. no hes a terrified kid who is attached to the most powerful device in the galaxy#he is HUMAN first and foremost#but the easiest way to desensitize someone to torture is to dehumanize the person getting tortured#'they deserve it they're not even human they're a monster'#type stuff

MITCHELL AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!
#MITCHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#///AND/// AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Yosano and Kenji spotlight too. Episode written precisely for my personal liking#Too bad no Atsushi then it would have been perfect (╥﹏╥) At least we got his voice in the episdoe preview#Alright I **LOVE** Mitchell. This is not the space to talk about it properly but I just really like how flawed she is‚#but also in a way that results funny and endearing. And I love love love how much she cares about her family and is loyal to it!!!#It makes her so noble and virtuous. I know she has so little screentime but really the way she's so harsh and in apparence self-absorbed–#But in reality so kind and altruistic... The way her hearsh ways are implied to be only a consequence of a life of struggles and her will–#to save her family's name through a noble behavior and appearance too... It makes her so complex and multilayered imo#AND just how her innate tendency to defend people spans out of her family too!!!!#In my interpretation she did NOT care for Hawthorne or like him. But she still gave her life for him because she just instinctively–#protects the people around her. I don't have any strong feelings for haw/mitch but like how to blame Hawthorne I would have–#fallen for her right that istant too.#Now to Akutagawa. I'm really endeared by this episode because I'm pretty sure that's when I started sympathizing with / liking him :')#Like that's the moment when the things Dark Era showed us and the canon Akutagawa behavior click together and the watcher goes “Oh. OH.”#At least I'm pretty sure it was for me. It's bittersweet but especially sweet.#One more thing is... Wow bsd really has been like *that* since the beginning hasn't it. It's kinda silly to think back to all the criticism#the latest arc got now.#The criticism regarding how the ridiculously high stakes have been solved seemingly effortlessly in a way that resulted very anticlimatic??#That's ALWAYS been there. “Oh no the ada is done for if they found out our base!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences*#“Oh no the Guild is done for if they destruct Zelda!!” *holds literally ZERO consequences*#“Oh no the Guild knows were our clerk is!!” *holds near to ZERO consequences*#And#“Oh no Akutagawa died!” “Oh no half world population was tuned in vampires!” “Oh no Fukuchi obtained One Order!”#“Oh no Chuuya is a vampire siding against Dazai!”#It's really the same‚ isn't it?#But like‚ we're still glad all of it happened right? Because it makes the experience enjoyable lol.#It's really about enjoying the ride I suppose.#I have more to ramble about but I've ran out of tags so I'll be doing it on my main blog reblog later#random rambles

and i mean this with my whole heart when i say no marvel villain is anywhere near as good as Purple Man from the mental illness girlfailure detective netflix show
#he is so so scary and repulsive and evil in every way but he is also so pathetic. so well written and complex without giving the audience#even a moment where you sympathize with him. And he is that scary bc hes the closest one to reality#the way male entitlement is written in ths show .like good lord#i need to dissect him like a frog.#jessica jones

sorry i’m so fucking normal about hivemind!decem being basically confirmed with the latest installment. do you ever think about how legundo’s greatest want in this prison is a friend. do you ever think about how the one request that he ever made of decem was that he not be alone next time. do you ever think about the noble saying she worries about him forgetting himself and the fact that he collects the “unique” (pink sheep) to try and have a friend in these worlds because it’s all he’s got. do you think about the noble saying she could make him thousands of his most desired companions. do you think about the fact that they want their brother back. cause i do. i sure do.
#space rambles#100 days multiverse#i wasn’t gonna maintag this cause it’s embarrassing rambles but. whatever. i want to.#cringe is dead we’re all minecraft fans#plus like half of the 100 days fandom is following me already so.#like i cannot stress how much i do not like decem. i cannot stress that enough#i think they’re shitbags#HOWEVER#i sympathize with legundo and as a side effect i sympathize with his terrible sibling hivemind#doesn’t mean i like them or think they’re the ‘good guys’ in any way#i just think they tell us the things they do because they KNOW it makes them sound sympathetic#but there is So Much they aren’t telling us#and that really only the warrior scientist+philosopher have given us hints of#philosopher because she seems to genuinely think One Big Hivemind is a good thing and we’re just brainwashed for not agreeing#warrior+scientist because they also seem to think it’s a good thing and because they kinda give no shits about doing bad things from what i#can tell lol. scientist will do unethical experiments to their heart’s content and warrior will destroy entire realities for fun. yknow#this got off topic#point is. fuck decem fuck one big hivemind#but i will admit your pleas for sympathy worked their magic on me

A Star Trek Novel called “Pocket Full of Lies” really has NO business going so hard.
#IMPORTANT NOTE: I only read Star Trek Novels as they pertain to Tuvok#so I have no idea about how the novel reads overall#but the Tuvok storyline????? Damn. DAMN dude.#what if you were suffering from a loss that affected and changed you so deeply that even those closest to you no longer recognized you?#and that change is symbolized and mirrored through this alternate reality version of your best friend who in YOUR universe also no longer#understands you...could never understand you...but THIS version of her is familiar. You can share each other's pain. You understand one#another in a way no one else does. And what if your inner grief/turmoil#was symbolized again in this alternate timeline by a constant war that's been raging f#for thousands of years with no end in sight no matter how hard you fight. The fighting in the end means nothing. The violence means nothing.#The death means nothing bc when you die another will take its place.#'His death was meaningless like this is meaningless' you think initially only to find that NO! It's the holding on to the PAIN that's#meaningless. It's the SUFFERING that's meaningless.#Tuvok being sent to convince ALT Janeway to give herself up to Starfleet but being unable to do so because he sympathizes and empathizes#with her...because (on another level) she isn't ready to give up the war (the suffering grief) and neither is he because to them the war#and the pain has BECOME the people they're grieving (Elieth & Daughter) so to give up feeling pain is to give up feeling love#but that isn't TRUE!!! and we see that in how Tuvok actually rebukes the affections and concerns of those attempting to reach out to him#and offer love...in reality this 'protection' or 'vigilance' is unhealthy and closes them off from healing and love. Bad coping mechanism.#Initially Tuvok pushes away everyone he comes across but through helping Janeway he helps himself and is finally able to take steps towards#acceptance in the purging of his anger on Dayne (Alt Janeway's husband who willfully allowed her daughter to die)#and we can see this in his outlook on how to move forward. In the beginning he's like 'I will never heal from this and I'll just live the#rest of my life never feeling safe or at peace.' <- defining and living his life according to the pain he's suffered#but in the end he has a more hopeful outlook...he sees that there are people around who want to be there for him and that he wants to lean#on...maybe forgiveness doesn't mean literally forgiving those who caused you to suffer but instead finally letting go of that suffering#and living according to joy...friendship..two hands clasped together. love.#novel experiences#Tuvok#Janeway#st voyager#oh ALSO the fact that Janeway always manages to survive being turned from a good thing to a very bittersweet thing for Tuvok bc his own#son was not so lucky...-chefs kiss-

hmm i think another thing i like abt kencen is chess should be played on a smaller stage. now i am an intimate staging truther for almost every play so i may be biased but that doesn't make it less true for chess. like i get the appeal of the big sets bc of the way they travel thru location and our initial reaction upon literally visualizing chess on a stage, but i think it makes it so easy for characters to get swallowed and for the stage to feel very empty. which may work like. conceptually but i think in practice it just limits the actor's effect. & i know that you can argue that chess is a show that needs to get by partially on spectacle bc of the quality of the book but i disagree just choose a good book. or make up for it w staging and strong character choices. it's not like it has a shallow plot bc it really doesn't it just doesn't have a well resolved one. which is actually another argument for it to be in an intimate space bc it will make the audience feel more personally invested in the characters rather than the story and will care what happens to them even if they leave with questions (does this distinction make sense?). i'm also not saying that chess Couldn't be done well on a big stage i just think most of the time it isn't
#i was thinking abt this w long beach a lot#they had Great staging i loved a lot of it and i loved the use of space#but then the camera would zoom out and i would go oh they're so far away they're tiny.#which again like! conceptually is interesting right w the whole pawns in the greater game of chess thing but mostly i just can't see them#and that stage wasn't even that big! it was just deep#iii am also just not the biggest fan of most proscenium staging and i have to be honest with that#i KNOW that it's the easiest way to fit a lot of people into a space and that sometimes the practical considerations of needing to sell mor#- tickets is just the reality of the situation#but i think. at least for the current state of theater and the way it's viewed by the general public. it does literally no favors#and it's also like. a story predicated on you sympathizing with characters who are universally making bad decisions#and i just find that tends to read better when the audience can see the detail#this isn't actually in praise of kencen in general btw staged concert is like. sort of generous for parts of that show but i think that the#- smaller stage saved parts of that as well#i lied this is actually in praise of kencen staging bc i'm looking at the video to make sure i'm not crazy and#not only is it physically smaller but they used the other actors to close the space and force the feel#chess#ted talks

"squilf is not a woobie" i dont know how to tell anon this but a Lot of people act like she's completely defenseless and treat her trauma as a defining feature. that's quite literally woobification.
i think its a joke? but ig sure. although i can't really say i've seen too many people do that
#not a confession#text#anonymous#asks#lot of people seem to associate#sympathizing with her character#or acknowledging how fucked up her treatment is#as woobification and tbh i think thats completely false#cant deny that there are people who might do those things#but its never been an issue imo#i think people just hate#facing the reality that#anyone can respond to their situations#and thats normal#and ppl can relate to that#i dont think thats divorcing her character#from canon#just depends on how it goes

Interesting
The worst thing is that there is so much potential for exploring the horror of psych wards from the angle of medical abuse, ableism, forced treatment/drugging, loss of autonomy, power imbalance, demonization, dehumanization, etc, and YET the horror genre keeps defaulting to "insane asylums and psych wards are scary because there are mentally ill people in there"
#It would be fine to use them as a basis for horror IF you stopped with the later and went with the first examples shown here#because what happened in them is horrific and if you treat it with respect it can be a great way to showcase the reality of these places#and utilize horror to sympathize with the people harmed in them#but I have literally only seen this done well ONCE#AND IT WAS IN AN INDIE PODCAST#<- prev tags#meta#trope#writing ideas

I don’t mind different opinions and I get if an album or song isn’t your thing, what I don’t understand is the amount of folks with Taylor pfp and @ completely disparaging Taylor’s art. Or bringing up old offensive narratives about why she writes songs. When she herself has said many times writing is how she processes her feelings
#it’s so weird on here#I noticed there’s also a bit of a generational divide when it comes to some of it#i unfollowed like 3 folks with Taylor url and pfp who are still going on rants saying she’s victimizing herself on that album#saying she’s being too dramatic and doing stuff for shock when this is how she copes#or sympathizing more with an ex#it’s always the early 20’s and teens talking about how privileged and removed from reality she is -#sorry rant over it’s just weird to me#songwriting isn’t for shock or a weapon it’s how she processes her feelings#i’ll shut up now

If you don't wear a seatbelt in my car, you can walk. "Sensory issues" are not relevant. You don't get to use personal problems to make yourself a liability for the driver.
#tho i do sympathize with the gender issue#but also physics is physics and so are the mechanics of wearing a seatbelt#they're agnostic to your gender#if you really really really have such a hard time with a seatbelt then there are probably some kind of relevant adapters for your problem#sometimes reality simply requires you to overcome your problems. and that's the end of it.

Oh, I forgot; I am, in fact, already okay
#I saw someone DBT-posting or something or taking advice from their friend#And they elaborated by saying:#'You are already safe in the present. No physical harm is coming to you and things are pleasant at the present moment'#'And the only things that can cause you emotional pain are things from the past or stories that you tell yourself'#I think I've been entrenching myself in feeling the Palestinian's pain that I forgot no matter how much I sympathize - my life is separate#from theirs#Feeling bad won't help them but fighting for their cause will - and the feelings involved don't matter#I'm allowed to feel good and cozy and warm and jovial and lighthearted#It's just so much more natural to let your heart turn to stone at being made aware of so much suffering at such a large scale#But I need and must remember to decouple myself from the specific fight and plight of this cause. We are in fact okay in the West#It doesn’t mean we're allowed to become complicit or stop caring#But in our material reality we have it good and are living comfortably#And at the very personal level that means me realizing I am in fact okay. I am feeling calm. My house is cozy#And being grateful for that isn't wrong#I can only hope the Palestinians will one day soon have it as good as me#Attempts at thoughts
