Yes Riz is aroace yes that contributes to his fear of his friends leaving him for someone they consider more important. BUT I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND!!!!! That that fear of abandonment is also rooted in his father dying and leaving him at 9 years old!!! Of his babysitter disappearing when he was 13!!!! He’s terrified of losing his friends because he already lost two of the most important people in his life once!!!!! I need you to understand!!!!

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

Also - in the I don’t have to sleep with everyone I have feelings for scene we also got Buck straight up implying heavily that he was just sleeping with Tommy for the sex and that he didn’t actually have feelings for him - and that will be funny to me forever more!

while the stables scene is a great example of percabeth's growth as a couple, particularly regarding their switch of roles in who plans for their future. an even better example is when they first told the other they loved them. annabeth, who is a well-respected strategist due to how well she can plan for the future, tells him as quickly as possible before something or someone could take him away from her again. she seized the first opportunity she had free of plan. percy, on the other hand, who is known for his impulsiveness and reckless planning, tells her two books later. not because he wasn't head over heels the entire hoo series. but because he was planning for the right moment. he wanted to wait until he could give her permanence and stability on a silver platter because he knows how much it means to her.

bpd is watching someone you just met hang out with other people & leaving you out and feeling like someone just dug their nails into your heart and ripped it apart bc how could they just abandon you like that? i thought we had something & now i don't even deserve to hang out with them?

i know sorrow's quote was in referral to blue but i feel like it could also be applied to leaf/green herself and abandon lonliness: i am's new ending from a meta standpoint if you think abt it hard enough……….

i mean. did we not see OP try to rewrite history in order to prevent the tragedy of lonliness and leaf rotting in hell? do we dare to forget - to erase what she did to lonliness? can she be forgiven now that it never happened in the first place...?

quick question! is there a connection between color and a camera, whether it's a headcanon or canonically stated somewhere, since i've seen a couple of artworks with him taking pictures

It’s just a headcanon.

It’s a very popular headcanon that Color’s complex trauma surrounding having his entire existence erased, forgotten, and replaced leads to intense fears of being replaced, forgotten, nonexistent, ignored, overlooked, or alone and abandoned—as he also does canonically fear being alone very very much— has led to him becoming obsessed with leaving reminders of his existence and presence and memory.

Often times he probably panics, dissociates, or gets angry if he feels like he’s being forgotten or ignored—even if it’s as simple as someone refusing to look at him when he’s speaking. Likely needing acknowledgment and reminders from his loved ones that he does still exist and they haven’t forgotten him.

Marking places and items with markers or pencils or even via carving in the pillars of the Last Corridor when in the Void, hoarding things (even unimportant things), obsessively journaling and scrapbooking, marking and keeping track of time a lot, refusing to heal any marks scars or wounds on his body, always having a camera or phone with a working camera nearby to take pictures of just about every memory and experience he has. Likely keeping every single gift someone gives him, and probably taking pictures of said gift to put in a picture album.

And because Color is also commonly HC’d as autistic as well, many also see photography as one of Color’s special interests. On top of that, due to Color’s severe skull injury, it’s possible that he fears forgetting things and people and losing track of time and moments as well—on top of the possible heavy dissociative episodes and how some people have HC’d him to struggle with maladaptive daydreaming, its likely he could struggle with memory loss as well.

Eddie being shown hugging Ravi rather than buck in this scene has me up in my feels actually.

Especially in combination with the conversation about Eddie being in the army and having been to a lot of funerals like this.

Because Ravi is a physical embodiment of bucks abandonment issues and Buck is watching on when the hug happens but not when the army stuff is talked about and that’s significant. It’s Eddie embracing bucks fear of abandonment when he’s feeling abandoned by his pseudo father and trying to live up to his last words - that the others are going to need him. So Eddie embracing Ravi is Eddie embracing Buck - having bucks back as he always has done and which we get a further representation of when they are carrying the coffin.

Ok genuine thought experiment: how do you think Bruce would react if Dick became an addict?

[burned0utstar]

Seeing my friends make plans together is hurtful. I am sorry for being bad. I am sorry for feeling like this.

I just want t be important to yu.

Everybody has the theory that Armand turns Daniel out of anger; but my theory is that Daniel gets injured, or has like a heart attack or something (the guy is old and has parkinson's, and Louis was trashing his house okay?) and Armand is SCARED AF and ends up turning him out of fear of Daniel dying, like in the books.

And then Armand immediately regrets it, and nopes the fuck out of there; and instead of the Devil's Minion where we had Armand following Daniel, we will have Daniel searching for Armand.

Just think of it, it would be a nice comparison to the book.

hydra feels like one of those guys who went through some insane shit in his childhood but as an adult he’s just like “yeah that was crazy but it’s all good now” and everyone else is concerned for him

oh.. nagi is the cactus reo overwatered (Blue Lock Spoilers)

instead of supporting nagi in wanting time seperated so he can develop (the conditions needed for a cactus to thrive), reo felt that this was nagi abandoning him, so he pushed him away first instead of sprinkling encouragement (deprived him of water).

after so long without reo, nagi's development starts slowing down (cacti still need water after all). he turns to reo, and instead of giving him the little encouragement his roots need again, reo becomes absorbed in the relief that nagi still wants/needs him. he doesn't stop pouring until it's too late..
