#high functioning alcoholic

New headcanon.

That Diluc and Crepus are alike in a lot of ways and I get the impression that Crepus also lived vicariously through Diluc in terms of “I couldn’t be a knight so you go do that” even if he may have had some reservations with the Knights himself but wouldn’t wanna alienate them because of his kids or because of business reasons.

That Crepus and Varka have a begrudging mutual respect for each other but do not agree with each other’s tactics.

Crepus, like later Diluc, finds the knights inefficient. That he was working to bring down the Fatui in his own way secretly. There is some underground vigilante anti-Fatui group that Diluc later joined because he has contacts in Mond when he gets back.

Diluc is a kid and delluded into thinking the Knights are perfect and Crepus doesn’t wanna crush his dreams.

Then reality happens.

That Diluc has noticed some corruption already and has his reservations and annoyances. That that night was his final straw. That he’s relieved to be out of the Knights but feels like he let his father down but also has a weird feeling that he did the right thing by him.

And that he later learns more about the underground efforts and just how stupid the knights are being and that diplomacy doesn’t solve everything.

But he doesn’t wanna alienate them too much because of his begrudging respect for Kaeya.

And also he’s annoyed and slightly jealous that Kaeya took his position.

He secretly wishes Kaeya would leave but if he told Kaeya everything he knows it would destroy him. Or he just wouldn’t listen.

Or that Kaeya does know and wants to change things from the inside.

Or he stays because he thinks that’s what Crepus wanted and actually sees Diluc as disrespecting their father’s wishes.

Or Kaeya stays because the knights treated HIM well, and he doesn’t have any other family left. They ARE his family. His dad abandoned him and he doesn’t know where his mom is (if shes alive). If he has other siblings they’re probably working for the Order. His adoptive dad died and his adoptive brother views him as a pushover for staying perhaps.) Let’s also not forget that Kaeya was probably pressured into doing whatever he was forced to do as a kid as being an heir to the Abyss Order basically. He probably doesn’t know HOW to say no or stand up against institutional injustice. Anything is better than where he came from. So he mostly just distances himself from the Knights by hunting treasure hoarders for fun and gathering intel because his position is literally useless.

I also think Jean’s hands are tied because she’s also barely legal and has too much pressure and is probably going off some some handbook and can’t reorganize things too much to not piss of Varka when he gets back. Plus they’re short-staffed. It’s very likely Varka groomed Jean in some way to succeed him and just put way too much pressure on this kid so now all she knows is how to work. Yeah I don’t like Varka lol.

For Kaeya it’s like “don’t bite the hand that feeds”. Kaeya leaving the knights would lose him EVERYTHING and he cannot risk that. There’s also a real chance that Varka knows about his past and if he leaves, he would become a target due to him being potentially dangerous.

It’s just a big mess all around and Ragbros+Jean are dysfunctional adults that had unrealistic pressures put on them as kids.

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME CARMY

Carmy's always asking Sydney what's going on with her when she's visibly upset

CARMY the answer is always the same or it always starts the same

You bailed and then

You bailed and then

You bailed and then

You bailed and then

How about not bailing? Just try it and see what happens.

Oh! But then you won't get to be all intense and up in Sydney's face...

Man, stand up!

(I love Carmy, but he can still catch these hands)

Watching Regular Show again in my 20s changes everything, actually. Like as a kid it was "I don't believe adults can be this dumb" and now it's "I know guys like this, I'm friends with guys like this."

Tempted to make new Herald Romanced sidestep just so he can flirt with his poor poster boy in the air using jet boots

On my quest of watching LOGH, I have finished episode 82 today, and have boo-ed my little hoo out all day. ;_; Thank you again for the recommendation!

You're already in 82??? Christ, it took me forever to watch all of LOGH and here you are powering through

Anyway, sorry that I introduced you to a guy only for that guy to make you suffer. Doesn't just thinking about him make you insane? Don't you want to chew your arm off? Don't you just want to go a little crazy???

[hideyourautumn-milkteeth]

Do you faggots understand HOW STRONG I’m being rn??? I promised myself I’d go through this week staying sober only to remember it’s the Fucking Election rn.

I’ve been struggling to sleep for the past three days, I had a horrible nightmare last night, I struggled through work on less than 5 hours of sleep today, only to go out and stand in line to vote for 45 minutes surrounded by screaming children, struggle to put oil in my car, and He who shall NOT be named is winning rn and I have not touched a DROP of alcohol. I need to a cute boy to cuddle w/ me and give me a kiss on the head as a reward I fucking deserve it.

steve harrington's mom used to love him. she used to brush his hair and pinch his cheeks and tuck him into bed. and then she caught his dad in bed with his secretary.

and it got too much so she started to drink. and when the wine hangovers got too annoying to deal with, she started taking ativan. something to calm her nerves, something to keep her from spiraling.

steve insisted she still loved him. and she did, but she was different now. instead of making him a cup of cocoa when he couldn't sleep, she gave him a glass of wine. he was eight

and when he started to grow up, the features inherited from her became more prominent. and she constantly reminded him that beauty fades, and no one stays for just a pretty face. she told him he had to be clever, unlike her.

so he closed himself off, only casually dating. he never let himself get attached, but the romantic in him longed for something different.

but the more he dated around, and the more times he talked about going on a date with a new girl, his mom saw his father in him. and it became too painful to see her little boy becoming the man she hated and loved the most. and she couldn't stay around to watch him

this is not to say that wei wuxian doesn't very much have a drinking problem, but it's weird to me when people write/draw him getting Drunk. we see him get actually drunk exactly once, and to be fair, at that point he is exiled, coreless, just found out his beloved sister is getting married and he can't go to the wedding, and said what was essentially his last goodbye to the love of his life. I'd probably get drunk too

SO IT'S CARMY'S PERSPECTIVE THAT'S SKEWED: THE BEEF WAS OPEN ON SUNDAYS

We are generally looking at things through CARMY'S eyes.

Whatever Carmy said happened that's what we believed.

HE said Mikey used to make them Braciole every Sunday.

NOPE! My dude MIKEY was at the BEEF ON SUNDAYS during dinner time

So my girl SYD may actually have been going to the Beef on Sundays with her dad.

However EVERYTHING IS STILL TIME LOOPY ON THIS SHOW because they're open at 3pm till 10 pm. But the clock on the wall says 7 minutes to 12. ( I think when Syd got there it was open from 11 am) Not sure

So when Richie was yelling at Carmy in the walk-in saying I Love You, he didn't hear that.

More importantly he says he doesn't REMEMBER hearing an apology

I can just imagine what he THOUGHT he heard

So when we see him all Lovey Dovey with Claire we could well be witnessing what's he's making up in his head what he thinks everything is like

So the sweet soft Richie and the living caring big hearted Mikey were the real ones. Not necessarily the popular jocks who would set fire to something

(this is what alcoholics do just FYI)

So in the REVIEW EPISODE of season 1, it may well have been Carmy who messed with the preorders stuff and didn't even know he did itir depends on what's going on with him.

That behavioral dysregulation that Richie was talking about must be kicking in

(Behavioral dysfunction is often seen in substance and alcohol use disorders)

Sir?

What in the entire HHHHH???

Anyway we'll keep looking.

This confirms to me that all this is going on in somebody's mind or something...

That Orwellian reference goes back to Time out of Joint by Philip k Dick. Which Richie mentioned in season 1 episode 1 and 2

Weed is the only thing keeping me from becoming an alcoholic
