#but yknow that’s fine too

i tend to be really open about my experiences and feelings these days, for one because i’ve been in therapy for years now and i’ve achieved some amount of loss of shame and self-love, for two because for as long as i can remember i’ve been full of Thoughts All The Time and if i don’t get them out somehow i feel overwhelmed, but also three - sooo much of my trauma involved being aggressively silenced or not being taken seriously even by people who should have been protecting me and i just get so much catharsis and healing by saying “this happened to me” or “i feel this way” and being Finally Perceived. and i’m far enough in my recovery that i can handle the potential asshole (i do Think before i post, i don’t post anything that i know would hurt me if a stranger decided to be a shithead about it) much more confidently than i could before. honestly there’s very little drawback

this is my life and it has always been more damaging to be silent or pretend that i’m anything else. i’m an extremely wordy person with a lot to say and a lot of feelings and a lot of experiences, and i have a lot to say and feel about those experiences, and if i shut myself up i feel like i’m being suffocated in a sensory deprivation room. i used to feel terribly guilty about this and occasionally on bad days i still do but i think these days i tend to view my own proclivity for rambling and sentimentality as good parts about me, or at the least neutral parts that are just… well how i am and not a bad thing.

also there’s the bonus effect of other people feeling seen/heard through the things i say who may not be able to articulate those things themselves and that’s awesome. genuinely. because i know that feeling of mental suffocation way too intimately and i wouldn’t wish that shit on anyone

the whole "jason rules crime alley and none of the other bats are allowed there!!1!" thing is so funny like. tim LITERALLY lives in the theater where bruce's parents died,

Sharing a mask is something that can be so intimate actually

dream was NOT trick or treating he just wore a hat to be festive (totally). techno absolutely was however and went as dream's cat familiar, and he was very successful. he will magnanimously deign to give some of his candy to dream since he DID make techno's costume better by standing next to him all night but he will make fun of him while doing so

Y'ALL. Y'ALL so for a long time I've believed that "the sun" in Meursault's story is Carmen, and I went to check Hell's Chicken's dialogue to see exactly how he said that he'd dealt with distortions before, and... you know what else he said?

To my knowledge, it is a phenomenon where an individual morphs into a form often unfit to be considered “human”. It has no known causes, and the appearances were all different.

Unfit to be considered human.

Meursault, who, in his book, was judged by the court to be soulless.

Meursault, who has EGO for Cyborgs who have been so mutilated they barely act like people anymore; a murderer who was experimented on until ceasing to be human; a sheep named after Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, a novel about the humanity of androids and the inhumanity of humans; and now a rose that can't help its bloodsucking nature, based on Carmilla, a vampire whose story emphasized the duality between her vampiric traits and her human ones.

Meursault, who answered Heathcliff's ironic question of if he had metal for brains like this:

I'm placing my bets now, that line from Hell's Chicken is foreshadowing for Meursault's canto even more than "I have witnessed a number of [distortion] cases in the past" was

i just. really wish people would realize it's possible to reblog a post about platonic relationships and expressing an appreciation for them or defending their legitimacy and capacity for depth and complexity and intimacy etc without feeling the need to talk in the tags about how much they love romance also or how much they also think 'a secret third thing' is great. like. you don't need to do that. in fact, please DON'T do that.

knowing that vault 33 was made to produce Nice and Agreeable people really makes me think about norm... he probably feels really alienated, especially during the events of the show, perhaps feels like he was just born wrong with some sort of permanent bad attitude. if i was better at writing id make like a whole post about his neurodivergency but youre just gonna have to imagine it for now

tbh i find it hard to define (and would prefer not to) a lot of aventurine’s issues. like he clearly has like, cptsd, but beyond that, his whole personality is a trauma response so it’s hard to pin down a modern day diagnosis and tbh as long as you know his personality well, it’s not really needed. same with his sexuality: i see him as aroacespec but with such a complicated relationship with his own body and low self esteem and desire that he ends up having an extremely difficult time figuring out whether or not he’s legitimately into someone or not. like casual stuff is one thing, but that’s all transactional to him. his body and looks are just another commodity to be exchanged to stay on top

i think sacred music in the kryn dynasty would be very cyclical and repetitive in form to symbolize the idea that life is a continuous thing (at least those who are consecuted right right) and is a cycle across lifetimes and yeah
