#it doesn't do its job well

[dudeshusband]

Maybe the solution is not being so hard on yourself and realizing that if other people who look like you are beautiful, maybe you are too. Self-deprecation goes nowhere, man, just saying

people don't look like me. not usually. and if they do, they're talented. they're smart. they're charismatic. they're healthy.

I've started playing Potion Permit, and so far it's one of my favorite games I've messed around with, but the most big brained move the devs made was giving you a dog on day 1, and then making that dog able to track NPCs and lead you directly to them no matter where they are in the town.

I feel like it says a lot about the relationships between the major institutions of the Trust and the Consectorship's place in it that Spahr's role, the role of any Prime Consector, can be summarized as: show pony, attack dog, scapegoat.

SAG-AFTRA is officially set to join the WGA in going on strike. No filming, premiere attendence or other promotion of any kind allowed.

I hope to see nothing but support for this decision.

Yeah this is about right (as always my thoughts are in the tags so there's actually kei content there lmao)

Thinking about when i studied counselling at uni and they straight up told us that cbt has negative outcomes for many people and shouldn't become a standard for care, all talking therapies seem to have the same efficacy as each other, many psychologists think therapy is ineffective altogether, serotonin and dopamine don't work like that we just act like they do because pills that prevent their reuptake help people*, all diagnoses are a socially created (and enforced) map that shifts and changes with time and culture, and any one person could have been diagnosed and treated differently by myriad different doctors based on luck and social factors

Shame its practitioners don't think so

i'm a very don't tolerate bullshit kind of person and I respect and expect it so much when other people are real and straight up with me anyways whatever I say stems from my own thoughts and I cannot lie to you and tell you to do something I think is stupid if you ask for advice. anyways an acquaintance of mine who majored in English unless you want to work in primary school for a pay of barely 700 dollars complained how her parents want her to get a masters degree and she's thinking about getting one in marketing or something similar and then later on spreading into tech saying how she can work as a data analyst and I literally almost laughed out loud like it's absolutely insane how little university life prepares us for the future and how absolutely useless it is that you have university graduates here thinking they can work a job that requires a degree in either IT or economy as someone who read and talked about books for grades like please be so serious right now. I'm not upset with her for thinking this is possible just the general society for letting these young people down by telling them every career option is valid and it doesn't really matter what you study in university because it does

Seeing everyone complaining about Bolas 3 book cover is hilarious because they're here saying Mal and Tyril look horrible and so unlike themselves thanks to the HIGJ usage of AI. Others are complaining about Imtura! I get all that!

But here I am. A happy gay because Nia is looking like the beautiful goddess that she is

Ooh angsty though

König sees Y/N on the battlefield but they got injured :( they r unconscious and he's the only person who can help them oh noooo hopefully he still remembers them from the aquarium meeting

Unless you're on his team or a civilian, sorry to be a prime bubble burster, he's going to be getting you to medical and that's about it. Work mode König is not merciful nor kind - especially if you're against him and helping would go against HIS team and their mission. Technically, he should end you if you're fighting his team because letting you live can mean they too are downed (plus, you wouldn't have seen his face then. Wouldn't know it was him for certain and your goal likely is to kill him)

Usually enemies are killed on sight but he still has some humanity within him. Some. Your brief moment of connection would be enough to save you from turning into a fine red mist and a pile of meat which is more than most can say. Plus, he's above killing someone who is unconscious anyways - unless they're the prime goal

He's still a PMC and a job is a job. Realistically, talking to you for a bit and opening up some isn't enough to pull him from that - especially if you stand between him and his goal. I mean, that's literally his job and when you're armed, you are just as likely to take him down too or one of his team mates. The world is a bitch and kill or be killed is how it goes, he knows that all too well, and a moment of weakness or hesitation is "How to end up dead 101". It's why he keeps his personal life seperate and how he's been able to be the top contractor that he is

[get-more-bald]

the biggest thing about X6 is not that he doesn't think of himself as human (though he doesn't, and according to some it's correct) BUT that he doesn't see himself as a Person

[lilaccatholic]

how do i do it though. how do i let go of the bitterness and the hardness when they kept me "okay" for so long? does it come when i finally leave? can it ever?

Kyoko in DR3 looked at her impossible task - solve the murders before she and Makoto both die - and then, when forced to make a choice between save herself or save the person she loves?

Made the same choice Yui did.

And that's Yui's influence.

Pre-Black Challenge Kyoko could never. Her family creed is to put the case first, even above family (which is why Jin split - because Grandpa Kirigiri wouldn't let Kyoko go see her dying mother because they were on a case, and Mama Kirigiri died - and Jin was right for splitting, but he was wrong for leaving Kyoko there).

During DR Kirigiri, we see Kyoko making the comment that sometimes you have to let people die to solve the case, and every time she makes that claim, Yui rebukes her. No. We try and save everyone. We save as many people as we possibly can. Like them or not, we go to save them, even at the risk of our own lives.

Saving victims is the most important thing.

And we see Kyoko learning from this in vol. 6 - we maybe can't win the sniper game, but we can try to keep everyone from getting on the island. (Except there are flaws in that plan which she quickly brings up.)

Kyoko doesn't pull Makoto into her investigations because then he would be at risk from the mastermind, made most blatant when Junko bops him on the head and steals the Hope's Peak yearbooks.

Junko is playing a game with Kyoko.

Makoto becomes alibi and bait.

DR3 and Kyoko's choice to sacrifice herself to save Makoto, even though he might not be able to figure things out, is an homage to Yui and what she learned from her.

(It's also her way of saying that she's tired of other people dying for her. That she's taking the bullet this time.)

This is how you recontextualize canon.
