#like. ask professionals about shit

[fernlessbastard]

hot take moment cwilbur is literally just psychotic as all hell and i think people got way too comfortable villianizing the shit out of a man who was clearly portraying signs of severe mental illness. cwilbur was like im so fucking paranoid and scared and i think everyone is out to get me and hurt me and ive spiralled to the point i cant reach out to the people closest to me because im so afraid and lost in this spiral and im having constant panic attacks and hurting myself because i dong know what to do with myself and the only way out for me is to die. and everybody was like EVIL MAN WHO ENJOYS HURTING OTHERS AND IS ABUSIVE ON PURPOSE AND A VILLAIN AND SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN. and then he came back and was like im still deeply troubled and afraid but im desperately trying to make up for the wrongs i did in the past and the people i hurt in my own way and communication is really hard for me but i hope people know that im truely sorry and i love them. im going to try my hardest to fix this in the only way i know how and then respectfully remove myself from the situation because i feel thats the kindest thing i can do to the people ive hurt. and people were like ABUSER ABUSER ABUSER EVIL MAN ABUSER. like girl

Yeah no based true real no questions asked

I'd hope I manage to portray Wilbur the way he deserves in my content, cause that man is heavily bpd coded and he just needs therapy and someone who genuinely loves him but also can handle his bullshit (which has exclusively and reliably been Quackity like, canonically)

But yeah no completely agreed. The man has issues and has definitely fucked up a lot but at the end of the day he really does need love and care and patience, but also boundaries (and therapy and meds, obviously)

In terms of that Green Day anon. They used their platform to push for LGBTQ+ rights, call out the government on multiple occasions and have repeatedly called for the end of the genocide in Palestine. So...yeah pretty punk af, unlike CM Punk who is as two faced as they come :)

Ah, ok. I was kinda aware that they're a pretty popular punk band that does cool stuff like that. I think the insult is that I'd maybe only know Green Day because of their popularity? (It doesn't surprise me that a CM Punk fan doesn't think Green Day is punk enough tho.) I don't claim to be punk, anyway, so it's not really a gotcha to say I don't know many punk bands. I'm a metal head, I'm just aware enough of punk culture to be able to tell that nothing about CM Punk is punk. Thanks for giving me context, Anon!

Finally, we get the opportunity to put our Spy Cards worldbuilding in a work. Though there are many questions about such things as "regulation" "how these cards are printed" "who approves a single spy card", and so on, we are here to present a bold new take: this game is based like 60% on obscure roach memory-reading tech that got turned into a card game with absolutely No card-game-related intentions included in the original tech and most of the card vetting is just from the fact that there aren't too many card printers out there and most of them make cards that need to be translated from Roach.

Strictly speaking, as a card game, it is not a terribly good or well-balanced one. It's popular primarily because of a mix of the difficulty involved in getting the data for high-level cards, the fun of seeing the variety of monsters that can be brought to the table, and the incredible amounts of ham and drama that goes into specifically the professional scene.

it's so scary to know that you and everyone else on the road are driving 2ton+ hunks of steel and plastic at 60mph and half the people doing it aren't paying attention, have zero situational awareness, and are selfish to the point of causing other people to wreck.

fyi therapist and counsellor aren’t protected terms so no actual qualifications are required to become one.. please check who it is that you’re actually seeing and that they’re qualified to be looking after you because your therapist could be literally anybody if you’ve gone private

[stepfordgoth]

I've been trying to get on a more "normal" (not normal for me lol but normal for the world we live in) sleep schedule lately and I'm struggling with it and today my therapist recommended I make a pros and cons list....... I've got a lot on the list already but help me think of more things to add to it ? Looking for suggestions, pretty much anything to consider or think about one way or another about radically changing your sleep schedule please

[tortadecuchufli]

The worst part about knowing how psychological evaluations work is that I see misinformation online and really wanna correct it but I can't divulge specific information for ethical reasons.

It makes me so unreasonably angry aaaaaaaa

G & R <3

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

i have so many otps, but i think my oldest ever one is. legolas/gimli gjfhdhf. they're just iconic. all the other elves crying screaming throwing up and tragically withering from grief, bc they're choosing between the undying lands and their mortal lover, and legolas is like "what if i just smuggle him in a suitcase". and it works.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

currently i was thinking about zevran and leliana!! i don't know what my conclusion about them is, but it's neat that they're both extremely covert operatives who were used and betrayed and had to become ruthless to survive. but got this very rare second chance to leave that work and try to figure out who they are without it. and they both have a similar sort of "act silly and cheerful to seem less conspicuous" type of persona. but then leliana eventually goes back into the same line of work again, and it clearly starts weighing her down and eroding her morals in the same way as it did before...

AND they're both orphaned bisexuals with bird motifs!! i need to work on my comic idea about them... i just think they'd have some cool conversations if left unsupervised.

my ultimate wish for this next era is they finally let Ryan go like they did Andy. I'm so sick of not getting the content we deserve. All the gatekeeping of tour diaries and now the crumbs of concert footage in that "documentary" yesterday. he was working for months on that? that's why we didn't get tour diaries? all that footage just goes in his vault now? Please.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you felt disappointed by yesterday's special. However, I feel compelled to comment on a few objective points in your ask.

- "Live & Backstage in Amsterdam" was directed by James Tonkin, the same director (and production team, Hangman) they worked with on "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" (and the unreleased "Live in Brixton" special). Ryan was credited as director of the documentary footage and as a contributing editor (1 of 3) but the live footage and overall final program was not his work.

- Regardless of the particular creatives involved here (or in any given project for that matter), the fact remains that any directors, producers, photographers, etc are all hired hands operating with full input and specific direction from the band. The band chose to make this a hybrid concert film/documentary. The band chose to condense the setlist the way they did. The band chose this format over the traditional tour diaries. What happens to the unused footage will be determined by the band. Ryan is a friend but he is first and foremost an employee and the band owns that footage. (Likewise, the MYT diaries are not sitting on Andy Deluca's hard drive because he's "gatekeeping" or too lazy to edit it. If the band wanted them released, they'd be released.) All this to say, of course you don't have to agree with the decisions but it's important to clarify who your complaint is with.

- This concept of the band or their collaborators "gatekeeping" and fans not getting what we "deserve" is, to be blunt, entitled and immature. Being a fan does not make an artist indebted to you. They make music, if you feel so inclined, you listen. That's it. That's the extent of the contract. Anything beyond that is optional for both parties. Any content an artist chooses to release is not out of obligation or generosity, it's part business strategy, part artistic vision. Artists do not owe you anything. This band does not owe you anything.
