Is Anxiety the villain in Inside out 2?

First, let's get something straight:

These. Are. Emotions. Not. Persons.

Here's the thing, Fear isn't about being scared, nor Disgust is about being disgusted, nor Sadness is about being sad, and etc...

Sadness is about sympathy, understanding and listening and offering comfort

Embarrassment is about being careful not to draw attention, feeling ashamed, exposed, even regretful

Anger is about needing justice, feeling mad when someone does something that bothers you

Fear is about protecting, not just being scared

Disgust is about avoiding toxicity, physically and socially

Ennui is about irritation, pointlessness, feeling empty

Envy is about not feeling complete, feeling like everyone is better than you and you're lacking something

Now, to Anxiety.

I don't think you people know what anxiety is. Anxiety is a complex and misunderstood condition. It's more than just feeling stressed or worried; anxiety can be an overwhelming sense of dread that something bad is going to happen, even if there's no clear reason for that feeling. It's a state of being that can affect one's entire perception of the world, making everyday tasks seem daunting. Playing hockey, in Riley's case, is proof of that. That's her favorite sport we're talking about and all of a sudden it's a competition, an exhausting one

Anxiety often also manifests as a deep-seated need to maintain control over one's environment or circumstances. It's a relentless whisper in the head, suggesting that if things are not managed just so, something terrible may occur

And what did Anxiety do? Just that - took control

However, anxiety isn't that bad when it's controlled. It can actually be quite beneficial, serving as a catalyst for action and a motivator for change. Controlled anxiety can sharpen focus, enhance creativity, and even drive efficiency. It's like an internal alarm system, a gentle reminder of forgotten stuff

Like what happened in the end

Now, to Joy

Joy is great because it makes us feel happy and full of energy. But, it's not always perfect. Sometimes, if we're too happy, we might not want to try new things or be ready for when bad times come. Also, if we keep trying to be happy all the time, we might end up feeling sad because being happy all the time is hard. Which is what happened to Riley in the first movie

Joy, like a bright light, can sometimes overshadow other parts of our experiences. It's not that it erases parts of ourselves, but rather, it can make us temporarily forget the challenges and complexities that shape who we are. When we're caught up in a moment of joy, it's easy to overlook the lessons we've learned from difficult times. However, these aspects of our identity are not lost; they're simply out of focus. Once the intensity of joy dims, the rest of our experiences can come back into view. But with no joy to ease them, other emotions kick in, especially anxiety

Now, what's the case here? It's simple, really

The case is that Riley couldn't control her anxiety. Why? She wasn't complete, not yet, she didn't know what she wanted. But in the end, she embraced herself, all of herself, then she managed to control her emotions

Thaaaaat's it! Hope you guys liked it! As usual, feel free to add or comment on anything!

The Master regenerating into Missy and wearing skirts and doing makeup and using her "feminine wiles" (her words not mine lol) to do evil with her silly little Mary Poppins aesthetic vs the Doctor regenerating into 13 and just. Continuing to wear pants and eat dirt. I love them both so much

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

Prompt 301

Ellie, during one of her stints of what do I do with my life right now, decides to, with the help of her Original Dad-Person (Look he’s aging and she’s not and it gets less questions the older he gets if he says daughter instead of sister with how the Fentons are getting older too) creates a Boo-Tube channel. No, not a Youtube channel, those are stuck to a single dimension.

Bootube on the other hand? Due to being through the Realms (and wow is Tucker getting so much income from creating it) is interdimensional. Which is so cool honestly. And she doesn’t know what to do at first, and honestly there’s already so many travel blogs that she kind of just… decided to do something that she wished someone had done for her and her brothers and Danny when she was new to the world. 

So she creates the channel CAAW: Clone Awareness, Accommodations, and Welfare. They had to learn things through trial and error, but maybe she can help someone out there learn how to find their own selves, or even help someone not melt.

this wasn’t the lee dongsik that han juwon came to arrest. actions can deceive as wells as lips can lie. he knows this. he learned that lesson from his father long ago, but this… this is different. this level of kindness, of compassion, can it truly be fake? this wasn’t the actions of the killer, lee dongsik, that han juwon had built up in his mind, and i think it terrified him

adjacent to the annoying assumption seen on here that poetry necessarily contains some sort of (emotional) truth. is an equally annoying assumption that poetry is necessarily (morally) good/‘healing’/positive. like come on guys poetry can lie and also be evil

(A small follow up to my other post)

Batman, in full regalia, crouching on a gargoyle across from Jason's apartment: I know you can hear me. Let me in.

Jason, wearing only a pair of Roy's pink fluffy unicorn pajama pants, popping up from a window: No! Not if the Demon brat is with you!

Batman, sighing harder than he ever had before: Robin is not with me. He has not left his room for the last 3 days. Not even to patrol.

Jason, a face full of distrust: Ughhhh....fine.

Batman, appearing behind him a moment later: He is inconsolable, sobbing and crying. Not even Jon is able to cheer him up. He only got like this after you spoke to him a week ago. What. Did. You. Do.

Jason, flopping on the couch and holding his head in his hands: Look...i...I didn't mean it.

Bruce, disappointed Bat glare: hn.

Jason, groaning as he stares up at the ceiling: okay so like...I just told him to watch an anime okay? I heard he was ✨️a homosexual✨️ like the rest of us and just Google some gay anime to...y'know, help him feel better about it.

Bruce, huffing because thata actually kinda sweet:And what? You didn't find any?

Jason, rubbing his neck: Nah there was actually a few that looked nice, great that we have that all, let the kids see themselves and all that...just um...I might have given him a sad one?

Bruce, raising an eye brow, which is not able to be seen through the cowl: A sad anime? Thst is what is causing him to be like this?

Jason, wincing: More like THE sad gay anime...called bananafish? Um...I haven't seen it but it had a lot of good stars and was rated alright and like...yeah I told him to try it? Tim said it was great.

Bruce, rubbing at the sudden head ache at his temple: I love Tim, I think he is a great hero and a wonderful person...but he does not understand what other people tend to be able to handle emotionally...

Jason, sighing: well sorry for not knowing that, I was kinda trying to kill him for a while and we are just now on the mend.

Bruce, shaking his head: Never mind that. Just watch it your self and go help your brother...(dissappears with a smoke bomb)

Jason, coughing as he waves the smoke out:Fucking asshole...the door is right there...

---

Far away, in the cave, listening in on the conversation, Tim grins, only a little bit evilly, both Jason and Damian tried to kill him more than a few times, they deserve the emotional turmoil.

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.
