so. I just got to Maruki’s attempted persuasion of Ren before the deadline and. hey what the fuck. what. what.
Akechi is the sole bargaining chip? Akechi’s life and their continued connection is what Ren wished for?
#that was. so much.#ow???#I have so much to process. but the furious way ren flung that calling card. what what what#my brain is spinning. THAT was ren’s greatest regret and biggest wish?#for akechi to be alive and to start over with him???#I. How devastating must that realization have been for akechi. when did he figure it out? it must have been close to the beginning#the guy who wanted to be loved and needed so badly and now someone does. and he has to reject it because unfortunately#this genuine sentiment has been co-opted by a therapist with a god complex into another cage for him#also. there’s the option to say you’ll accept the reality. you can accept it? actually accept it?! to save akechi. because ren is that upse#what the fuck. what the fuckkgfl#akechi grew so much as a character. seeing his personas fuse and his third awakening made me really happy honestly#but god. he awakens right before he dies??? because he chooses death over letting himself be chained again?? come on atlus that’s just MEAN#and ren just has to. deal with that. lead the team tomorrow. no time for it to even sink in. he didn’t know!!!#how much sleep do you want to bet ren got that night? 👍 haha… ha…#ugh. ow.#the universe really said ‘let’s doom these two sad sobs for no fucking reason. just because’#storyrambles#story plays persona 5#p5r#oh. oh my god. the glove. of course. he wanted their rematch but what that actually meant was#‘please survive. please be alive’#again I reiterate: what the FUCK#edit because I remembered from their rank 10: ‘your wishes became one’#now I know the context is different. but did they not both voice their regrets? did they not both wish to meet again through the glove#and its associated promise? ‘If only we’d met sooner’? ‘I want to keep our promise’???#god. it was mutual wasn’t it? their biggest mutual regret and wish is each other.

Aaron & Juliette – Overdramatic Couple Energy
Juliette: Aaron, we need to talk.
Aaron: Juliette, my love, my heart, my soul, my reason for breathing—
Juliette: …Why is there a hole in the wall?
Aaron: Ah. That.
Juliette: Yes. That.
Aaron: Well, you see, love of my life, darling star in my dark sky, I—
Juliette: Aaron.
Aaron: Kenji was being insufferable.
Juliette: So you punched a wall??
Aaron: No. I was aiming for Kenji’s face. He moved. The wall did not.
Juliette: I can’t believe this.
Aaron: I will fix it, my love.
Juliette: How?
Aaron: …By making Kenji pay for it.
Kenji (from another room): WHAT THE HELL DID I DO??
#dramatic warner#juliette is so done#someone take kenji away before warner loses it#this man needs therapy not violence#kenji breathes = warner punches a wall#juliette trying to keep the house from falling apart#love language = property damage apparently#kenji screaming in the background#emotionalexpression#warner wakes up every day and chooses theatrics#juliette is a queen for putting up with this#the wall did nothing wrong#kenji is the real victim here#seriously how is warner a functioning adult#‘i was aiming for kenji’s face’ SIR THAT IS NOT BETTER#juliette is one deep sigh away from leaving them all#meanwhile castle is in the corner questioning his life choices#someone get warner a stress ball or a therapist#love is war. literally.#shatter me#aaron warner#Juliette

genuine question, what is the issue with betterhelp?
bad therapists who do more harm than good (literally), bad treatment of therapists by the company regarding payment, and betterhelp is a zionist company.
the most recent video (i advise watching it, it's not very long but it recaps a lot of old problems people forgot about and mentions new ones):
youtube
#Dan as someone who knows how important therapy is should never let this company get into their sponsors list#even if 1 betterhelp therapist can say that someone should choose either their family or being gay. then fuck betterhelp#if they can't control who they work with. stop promoting them until they do. and until they stop taking down criticism#and the pro-israel staff is a completely different issue#answered#betterhelp#sponsors

As a Kandreil enjoyer and known Kandrew lover, I think it’s weird and embarrassing as hell when Kandreil/Kevin stans who’s least favorite pairing in it is Andreil try to frame them prioritizing each other more and more as the series goes on as somehow insidious or toxic. Like, you can dislike the direction For Sure and wish it was written differently, but be honest that it’s because of Kevin being your favorite (perfectly valid, I also react disproportionately when my favorite character is hurt by something narratively vs when it’s other chars even if I like/love them) and has nothing to do with *problematic messages about romance* (BAH!) or whatever you are trying to frame it as being the concern instead.
#especially funny when they’ll try to be like ‘it isn’t JUST about Kevin Andrew also chooses Neil over his family and that’s unhealthy!1!’#the choosing Neil over his family in question being him and Aaron’s deal being null which is a positive for their relationship and they’re#in therapy together now (I mean you could poke some holes in how good a therapist Bee is but like. Definitely a healthier place than where#they were to start)#Andrew and Nicky are more distanced but honestly also a good sign for their boundaries in the future because that needs work#and Neil is very much closer to the other foxes by the end of the series than he has ever been. So what’s the truth lmao#I could write a detailed meta about the shifting dynamics and Andrew and Kevin in the last two books specifically but I’ll save that for#another day…#s speaks#also have thoughts on why the shift in prioritization occurs as it does for the characters#Aftg#and yes I’m most annoyed by this pattern because Andrew is my favorite and I acknowledge that#andrew minyard#kevin day#neil josten

in 2024 I wanna stop hearing about betterhelp
#elise's posts#SO many youtubers etc I like are promoting this shit#fyi for those who don't know it's a REALLY unethical business trying to take advantage of the mentally ill#and before you say 'but how else am I meant to find a therapist that does online sessions'#post-pandemic most therapists offer this#and if you want the whole 'I can text my therapist for therapy anytime 24/7' thing...#sorry I know it might sound useful but it's SUPER bad for both your own mental health and your therapist's#sorry but therapists are not meant to be there for you 24/7#that's not their job and it's really unhelpful for YOU to become dependant on a 24/7 therapist#betterhelp do not vet their therapists thoroughly#and some people say they have been evangelised to on betterhelp by preachers who ask the algorithm to assign them queer and atheist clients#many reputable therapists state that it's a terrible business model promoting unhealthy practices to patients#it claims to be the cheapest option but it's more expensive than the most expensive therapist I've ever had (I'm in the UK)#and significantly more expensive than the cheapest who was still good and probably more qualified than some people on betterhelp#you pay extra for the middleman#(being allocated a therapist you didn't choose and vet yourself isn't great anyway imo surely you want agency in this huge decision?)#and I'm sorry but pride counselling is a branch of the same company#please just look for therapists that specialise in your needs through a regulatory model and get in touch with them directly#not all of them have waitlists and tbh if every therapist on betterhelp is available whenever what does that say about them

i will never get over the perfect agony that is astarion being an elf who reveries, rather than sleeping. every single night is a trauma nightmare on steroids.
#it’s made even worse by how he literally doesn’t have ANY good memories prior to being tadpoled#so he has two centuries’ worth of steroid trauma nightmares and a few months of pleasant things to meditate on#and elves can’t choose what memories they re-experience and picking blindly out of a hat like that he’s so much more likely to get#something awful just purely because of the numbers#im. going insane#origpost#shaedan plays bg3#astarion#🎶sitting in the waiting room to my therapist’s office🎶

Late night magenta.
#im not going back to facebook#im not going back to twitter#or instagram#any of those#i realized not everyone is entitled to me and i to them#why force connections#why force people to be roots of your tree when they were supposed to be leaves that come and go with the seasons#not to mention why care about where i went off to where i had gone when i gave advance notice im out#is it out of sincerity cause you genuinely thought i vanished from the face of the earth#or is it you got bored with everyone else around you and saw me as a spare at the back of the shelf#or the secret third option you needed someone to talk to cause evidently im a damn good therapist and you don't have to pay me therapy money#im very careful who i give my energy to#if we pop into each others spheres lets not waste it even if its for a short amount of time#like you i can't be everyones root or branch or leaf for their tree#but i can always be the wind#all around and you might think of me often but im not here im somewhere else#dont mean for all the cryptic metaphors#im just frustrated so many people that ignored me when i was homeless and struggling finally want to see how I've been#when i put it out there i needed help#only to get told i “wasnt loud enough”#i don't hold resentment toward them or anger#if anything it makes me sad for them#cause they can't enjoy the person i am now#not unless i choose it#magenta is my vent word

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for Wade, the amount of canon time they share doesn't matter?
17. What's a ship for Peter you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
26. If you were a therapist for them both individually: what homework would you give Wade and Peter (separately) to help them?
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for Wade, the amount of canon time they share doesn't matter?
I really don't like most of his canonical friends because I think they are written to match him occupationally but not emotionally. It's like they're mean work friends more than actual, genuine friends who have anything in common with him outside of being pretty chill with murder and making money from said murder.
My favorite is probably Rogue because there's a commonality in "untouchability" and having a power you never really asked for/that you would have never chosen. I think Wade is the type to always fall in love and/or flirt with his friends because of his personality, but he doesn't really seek out people that play the same narrative role as him. I think he goes after people who are ideals more than people, or scumbags who don't make him feel bad about himself. Rogue is kind of an outlier as her existence is both something she didn't consent to, and irreversibly tragic. I think their conversations would carry an extra weight, and he'd be able to be emotionally understood in ways most of his other partners simply would never be able to relate to. Also, Rogue, is the person he trusts with big things. His daughter's protection and safety in particular. I don't think they'd actually realistically spend a lot of time together/hang out (and in my head, Spider-Man is still the perfect character to fit that role) but on an emotional level, I think Rogue would be my pick.
17. What's a ship for Peter you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?
This question is worded so weirdly lol but SpideyTorch is my favorite secondary Peter ship. I think he should only fuck his homies (and when he doesn't, those relationships always crash and burn because you kind of have to be his friend to really know what you're getting into)
26. If you were a therapist for them both individually: what homework would you give Wade and Peter (separately) to help them?
I would hate this job so much. Oh my god. I'm recoiling. I don't really want to put myself in the headspace of anyone's therapist, much less them, but I guess if I was held at gunpoint then I would buy them both journals and print out some question/answer sheets for them to separately fill out inside their journals. I would give Wade sheets centered around shame, people pleasing, and guilt and I would give Peter ones around martyrdom, idenity, and interpersonal relationships. I don't know if it would fix them, but I think they both could stand to be more aware of their own patterns.
#mailbox#ask game#me: as your therapist I think you should fix yourself and not involve me at all#I love complaining about how much I dislike Wade's canonical friendships and that was a good headscratcher#I should write more fic with Rogue being someone that Wade is n contact with#they just interest me#cable and spider-man are an obvious reason but. cable is more of a toxic ex best friend and spider-man is like.#i couldn't choose him lol#thanks for the questions bro

attachment disorder go brrr
(uhh tw for tags if anyone cares to read)
#literally why do we as beings experience unrequited love? it’s a waste of love and care and energy. it makes us bitter and angry#and fills us with resentment. Why does my mind/body choose to love someone who doesn’t want it or deserve it??#it makes me want to kill him. I love him but I want to kill him. does this make sense#we understand each other…. He used to want me too and now he just? doesn’t anymore? for no reason?#I can’t understand it#I need to talk to my therapist again cause intrusive thoughts are so bad I can’t even focus#but idk how to even bring this up to her without sounding scary. that I literally fantasize about kidnapping him#I wouldn’t actually ofc - im actually kind of scared of him now after his rejection - but I Want to#like. you don’t get to tell me you want me and then throw me away !!!!! that’s reliving the worst experience of my life!!#and i Don’t accept being unwanted. I dont

You know, I think the reason my brain latched on to Randy as its new chew toy so quickly is because character wise, he's very similar to Inigo "Laslow" Fire Emblem.
#it's like..... if you know you know y'know#quickly become obsessed with this man if you couldn’t tell#him.and his little daughter#his scene in the mirror castle did make me tear up a little#him going from outwardly teasing Lloyd to internally being like “I don't deserve happiness.” like okay sad boy chill out#maybe see a therapist while you're at it#I think part of it is actually being the sake age as him and understanding how much of baby he was#like child did you really choose to be a jeager#the only choise you ever made was to leave#anyway#I'm not even finished with the Crossbell arc#though I am glad I have no way of playing cold steel 1 & 2#because I don't know if I could go through two 90-hour games with the SSS in them#but as far as I'm aware Randy's in frame one of cold steel 3
