Parenting is critical, and regardless of how much we try to fix everything else, the government, the climate, it would perhaps all fall back to repeat the same mistakes.

thinking about stefan and damon and what’s dead staying dead. they will always be those people they were at the moment of their death incapable of understanding their past incapable of moving forward. stefan will always be 17 and immature and obsessed with who he thought katherine was and furious with his brother and wanting so ardently that he will kill for it. and damon will always be jealous and possessive and wishing that it was him, that he was the one who mattered, that he was worthy of the love he watched his father and katherine shower on the boy he had to leave behind
#and elena is stuck in the middle of it all traumatized af#what if u were cursed to repeat the love story of a century#where is the culpability did it ever mean anything? did she ever love stefan did stefan ever love her did katherine love him#or was it all just the oldest sort of compulsion. and they try so desperately to cut the cord that ties them#but never go far. always back to damon always back to stefan and alway always about elena#Yeah a lot in mh mind rn just started my hastag official s1 rewatch#tvd#the vampire diaries#damon salvatore#stefan salvatore#defan#brothers bond

pick 8 pictures from pinterest for standstill!! (a moodboard)
heyyy so im actually really awful at moodboards but i do save pictures of things that inspire standstill so heres some of those! sorry they arent like aesthetically cohesive. standstill talks about a lot of different themes all neatly tied together w the thin thread of a romance plot so sometimes it's hard to describe those in a way that feels coherent, even in picture form. hopefully u get the idea though 👍
#jade answers#Anonymous#straud asks#dogs/rabbits are thematic for vlad and brie specifically. when i see dogs or rabbits i think of them#bc it's about... the power play... it's about... the switching... wink... sometimes you're the dog and sometimes you're the rabbit#birds are more thematic for their life circumstance than Them as people. the birds are more about the journey#the trees remind me of them too... specifically the picture i included. bc it has underwent a process known as inosculation#which is when two trees growing in proximity begin to merge together into one tree#run down trailers bc those are where most of brie's childhood memories are. notice the forest surrounding the trailer#forest too are special in standstill... there are 2 posts so far of caleb and lilith traversing the forest when they arent supposed to#vs vladislaus having a genuine fear of going into the forest (hasnt been shown yet on my blog but it's written and comes up soon)#vs breanna not only going into the forest but being genuinely unafraid of it unlike lilith and caleb who enter it with fear#and vlad who doesnt enter the forest at all bc of his fear#the picture of the red woman swimming in blackness. almost like she's drowning in water. it evokes the image of human vlad#who stood on the dock overlooking the red bloodied water. and even more so the image of vlad as he was transformed#since he was lying on his back. and lastly that bible quote is included bc it's a quote vladislaus repeats in his head often#i think? i took out the scenes where he says that quote repeatedly bc i decided his compulsions are mainly internal but#it is an important quote for him nonetheless and i think about it very often while im writing#if you actually read all that im making out with you sloppy style

its actually insane how much eddie has ocd. but no one is writing morality/scrupulosity obsessions and mental compulsions so you cant understand HOW MUCH he has ocd
#i know eddie was kneeling on his bedroom floor repeating the same prayer of protection over + over again in his head until everyone was safe#+ then when his compulsions shifted away from explicitly religious he was like Woah that was so crazy. I've been an atheist this whole time#talk#911

was going to start writing an essay about the possible overlap between christianity and OCD and then I remembered im on Tumblr dot com and also a fucking idiot when it comes to putting things into words
#idk man I just think about it sometimes#because I feel like one of the biggest steps in the direction of ocd treatment/management/recovery is to acknowledge that it exists#and recognize your obsessions and compulsions are becoming detrimental#and it becomes so much more difficult to do that when the obsessions are around gods perception of you/your own moral standing#because it just feels like a normal religious thing to be thinking about and worried about#and compulsions like repeated prayer just feel like something you're supposed to do#so even the thought that they could be bad feels blasphemous and it becomes a vicious cycle of ocd and IDK!!! IDK!!!!!#I still feel very weird talking about it with other people but its something I think about a lot because the worst part of it is that#no matter how bad it is breaking the cycle is maybe the most terrifying part of it and on top of that if religion is a big part of your lif#then it can be harder to find support for it as well because everyone around you doesn't see it as a problem either#idk im just rambling a little bit. anyways. hi guys religious ocd is a major bitch I kinda want to write something about it

Thinking about Ginger in Bones And All rn
That’s it, that’s the post
#ever after high#eah#ginger breadhouse#bones and all#not so much her in the movie but like#Explaining her lineage#The need to eat#Why her story has continued for so long#That kinda stuff#The uncontrollable compulsion to cannibalize#I know in the movie its used as a metaphor while Ginger’s situation is more literal#But like!!!!!!#The destiny system in EAH is wack#How has certain stuff repeated for so long#Like?????#Wack#I know in Kiss and Spell Ginger claims that the eating kids part was made up#BUT AINT NO WAY#I think that’s Mattel avoiding the cannibalism allegations#/joke#sort of#I headcanon its just a biological thing at this rate#And I also hc that Ginger throws up a lot when she does feel the urge#bc she doesn’t want to hurt people#(she’ll eat the fuck out of like a Slim Jim though to hold the craving back)#It’s canon that she distances herself from her family anyways so I think it’s reasonable that she came up with the lie#that her mother trying to eat Hansel and Gretel was made up#BECAUSE IN THE SECOND (?) BOOK#RAVEN GETS TOLD THAT GINGER’S MOM USED THE BACKDOOR OF HER OVEN TO ESCAPE BEING COOKED#You cant make that shit up

we keep jokingly using spanish while out on the street (like saying "mira la caca" to warn each other of dog poop on the sidewalk) and I can only pray and hope and plead with god that any argentine passersby who hear us won't be offended hdhdh
#i also say dale and bueno (and arriba for some reason?) a little too much but it's only bc my brain is compulsion pilled#so whenever i learn new sounds i need to repeat them 200x a day

#my obsessive-compulsive/monotropic thoughts are so much worse when i'm doing badly and it impacts my mental health#cause they're not compulsions like tap your finger x times it's like#oh you had a thought that made you feel a particular kind of distressed? now you gotta do it again#one doesn't count u gotta think of the same thing until it causes u the same emotional reaction again and again#until it's a correct number so don't dare think about it again after cause it'll start all over#so imagine what it's like when there's a lot of distressing thoughts happening#and i gotta force myself to repeat not just the thoughts but the emotion#or it's gonna feel Wrong until i do#the amount of ''rules'' in my head is ridiculous#idk if monotropic is the correct word it's just that with me it's more of an autism thing than an ocd thing i think#unless i got more things going on that idk about lmao

The unofficial theme song of Mr. Gabriel "Sylar" Gray and his feelings for Claire. You best believe he's bumping this somewhere with tears in his eyes and depending on the timeline he might have even sent it to her because it's such a perfect embodiment of all that he is and all that he wants.
Each of them listening to it alone, but at the same time, and so together.
Here's the non Tumblr Spotify link, in case that doesn't work.
#sylar#gabriel gray#claire bennet#sylaire#headcanon#yeah yeah yeahs#wolf#love songs that hurt so good#hurt/comfort#I've literally listened to this over 100 times since it came out#on repeat#the adhd compulsion to listen to the same track repeatedly until it stops giving you dopamine#Spotify

getting dragged ass-backwards into a new obsession is always such a trip cause for me there’s no consistency in quality or sophistication no matter what’s gone before. if the vibes are right and i can physically feel the thing filling out the little holes in my head and supplying energy to my blood then that is it, over for me. and when that thing is succession or the beatles it’s like being in a power couple, like i can say all the hyperbole i feel and it doesn’t feel stupid because the world at large agrees, and i know that i’ve dedicated my energy to something genuinely great. sure i have to affect some dumbassery to be like ‘my brain has been colonised by a tv show’, but at least it’s a tv show that has been compared countless times to shakespeare, you know. but then when it’s the gay pirate show or, wrestling, and it’s exactly the same emotional process, there’s a bit of my brain now constantly going omg stop stopppp this is dumb it’s not that good it’s not that deeep. but that doesn’t make a difference cause i’m still spending all those hours in the evening burying myself in the videos and the fic and the online community like a mouse that’s discovered a new kind of cheese and cannot get enough. or a new drug maybe. and when i walk around with the fresh obsession in my head it’s like the honeymoon phase in a crush with the sky looking just a bit bluer. like there’s really no feeling quite like it for me, and even knowing all the negatives associated with it (procrastination devastation, bad sleep schedule, annoying my friends for the next months-years) i just cannot fight the sheer giddy joy of wrapping myself up in a new obsession once i know it’s hit. and the absurdity of that process happening to me pretty much consistently every few months since i was eleven is really apparent when the thing i am wrapping myself up in is not kendall roy, top character of all time, and all the genuinely high quality fanfic succession seems to inspire, but undisputed tag team champions sami zayn and kevin owens.
tl;dr: “good for you or sorry that happened”
#now i'll take this opportunity to annoy my friends#they have been soulmates and rivals for TWENTY YEARS in REALITY. that's nuts people#across 2 kayfabe personas for sami#they just love fighting each other so much they can't stop doing it#this one is a mindfuck cause there is a fictional story of repeated betrayal and reconciliation that's obviously delicious and addictive#and there's also parasociality with the guys themselves who aren't as separate from their kayfabe roles as actors in a show or sth#you ever love someone so much you compulsively hit them with a chair and powerbomb them onto the apron

I spend so much time reading medical journals that reading social/anthropological journals feels like playing a gameboy
#Creepy chatter#I'm on my like? sixth or seventh? study#And somehow I've moved from psychosocial compulsive smoking to anthropological studies on avatar and its social effects#the academic opinion of avatar is surprisingly different than expected#They seem to largely refute the arguments that avatar is colonialist/misogynistic/racist(noble savage argument) but for unexpected reasons#Academia views the avatar franchise in a more abstract manner--focusing more on the environmental messages than social#Whereas (arguably more online) public opinion views it as a denigrating depiction of indigenous peoples. It's a pretty large disconnect#Ofc the same public/academic disconnect was routinely pointed out in the smoking studies as well#No one seems to be looking for the lay opinion regarding the avatar citicisms though#They're just starting to do it for tobacco research and it's shaking a lot of fundamental academic opinions to their cores#Reading NIH social studies on smoking repeatedly saying reduced nicotine products do not reduce smoking and nicotine isn't the danger#(combustible smoke inhalation is) and then looking over gov PSAs and civil resources on smoking and they ALL state nicotine#as the MAIN reason to avoid smoking (bc it 'causes addiction'). Study after study found it to be a social soothing behavior and more of a#addiction to the ritualistic repeated nature of smoking. Smokers/former smokers mostly reported similar opinions that its not the nicotine#But these were all RECENT studies since vaping hit the mainstream. Prior studies w severe disconnect to the layman never considered#the contribution of the social/psycho/physical factors beyond the effects of nicotine in the brain.#Fuckin WILD I bet the academic opinion of Avatar would have more nuance if they included the relevant layman parties#There was a very interesting study on avatars reception in hawaii that found that indigenous participants overwhelming found the movie#to be be far less far fetched than white participants. In particular they found the majority of white male participants#found the movie to be 'like a dream' or 'far off fantasy' with no real narrative to be made about reality (positive or negative)#But most other studies only referenced the opinions of other anthropologists and they resoundingly believe the film to be#an environment call to arms that shouldn't be seen as representative of any unique conflict in reality beyond#consumerism vs sustainability. It's pretty tone deaf tbh!
