Sorry Hiragi, I don't believe for a second that anyone in the Wind Breaker universe has ever been taught this lesson.

Maladaptive daydreaming.

[everyone-with-a-para]

I hope everyone with a para that is D/deaf has a great day

[sparethedreamer]

A fairly common experience among immersive and maladaptive daydreamers (and presumably among neuronarrators, though we can't claim much knowledge on Neuronarration as a distinct phenomenon. Assuming there are differences between them.) is the deep-pitted longing for your created world(s). For your life(ves) there. For them to be real and tangible and material.

Sometimes this life in reality seems so ill-suited to us.

I miss home. I miss feeling like I truly belong in the world as myself. I miss the feel of it all. I miss the sensation of being in tune with a world.

Though there certainly are hardships and perils in the paracosm, they seem to be more worth the efforts of enduring and conquering. If only because I'd be struggling against them while in a world where, and with the beings with which, my soul actually belongs.

I know all the counterpoints, arguments, and concerns against this wish, yet I cannot keep my heart from yearning for it. Please spare me any lectures you may have.

I actually fucking hate audiobooks so much. I CANNOT listen to someone sit down and drone on down the mic in the most uninspired, bored tone imaginable that gets the cadence of the sentence wrong half the time so I lose track of what's actually being said. Where's the voice acting. Where's the beautiful accompanying background music. I grew up on BBC audio-drama CDs my standards are HIGH. Listen to the Wind in the Willows on BBC sounds and try not to cry at the bittersweetness of it all. Trust me it's got Stephen Fry and everything

Out of curiosity, how tall are the ROs? Since I forget Valentina is taller than the other two (obviously just because tall femmes are uncommonly depicted)

Valentina is always the tallest (and taller than mc) and then there's Clear, and the shortest is Hana. i tend to imagine the mc at about 5'7ft/170cm:

let me indulge my decade long obsession with myer-briggs for a second, and put on the record that charlotte has a real problem with those whose dominant or secondary cognitive function is extraverted intuition -- and it has to do with her dynamic with the primordial void as its vessel. while charlotte has and continues to do her best to comprehend the incredibly intangible, horridly abstract, and staunchly impractical nature of something that is ( and always will be ) outside the realm of complete human comprehension, she also made the decision long ago to not worry herself too much over these kinds of abstract, bigger-than-life, and unsolvable philosophical concepts. she does not enjoy spending her time and energy debating ( at length ) topics like the time - space continuum, the meaning of life and the universe, the essence of what a soul is, the significance of dreams, etc. this is, in part, why she isn't the biggest fan of poetry, and has a hard time getting along with people who are often lost in daydreams, who often speak in poetics or with a romantic edge, and who are seemingly so preoccupied with these intangible, dreamy, future - inclined ideas that they miss what is happening right in front of them. she finds these sort of people impractical and foolish; she doesn't hold much appreciation for their starry - eyed gazes, and while she does understand that abstract thinking is indicative of intelligence in its own way, she doesn't care enough for non - applicable theory to indulge this kind of thinking.

char's main qualm with the abstract and tethering of one's entire worldview and way of thinking to intangible possibilities and "what if's" is how it directly clashes with her desire to cling to the practical and tangible wherever, whenever, and however she can get it. she needs to ground herself this way because otherwise, she would be lost to the endless quagmire of fragmentary memories, skewed perceptions, half - truths, and the flux between unreality and reality, the tangible and the uncanny, etc. so, no, it doesn't help the work char literally depends on to make sure she doesn't lose her mind is unsettled by people insist on debating abstract theories w/o tying it back to a practical sense of reality. what i'm not saying is that char is unstable to the point where merely being around these people or speaking about these kind of topics would make her lose her mind; she hasn't made it this far without having worked on her mental fortitude. which is why, when it comes these people like this, char can be anywhere from kind of annoyed to "I absolutely cannot stand this person," where the latter would see her in constant conflict with this person, which by definition, means that charlotte does hold her own in her part of the clashing. of course, even if this is really the way she feels about one of these types of people, it also doesn't mean that she's going to show it, not especially if she's trying to get something from or out of said person.

Preservation path too good. It carried again for World 5 :'D

Okay I have to go to sleep now because I have work in the morning but I would urge anyone thinking of buying Battle Scars to wait for some reviews before buying. Not saying it's bad because it's definitely too early to tell, I've only been reading for an hour. But I think if you have any doubts or if you struggle with certain writing styles it will be worth it to wait or get an ebook sample first and see if it's for you.

And still we persist.

Especially because

Mental illness took so much away from me, sometimes I wish it would have taken my life as well
