IT'S CALLED TALK THERAPY NOT LISTEN THERAPY!

You is the talk! They is the therapy!

Yo therapist don't have answers you have answers they just have one a them build-a-bowl menu prompters and a piercing stare for when you start LYING AGAIN.

'pick a protein'

'self loathing'

*stare * 'Self loathing is not a protein

'fine. Chicken breast.'

'are you saying chicken breast cos you want it, or cos you think you should want it?'

'it's the good healthy option!'

'the build-a-bowl is a metaphor, food has no moral dimension, a good choice is a choice you will enjoy'

'....... I want the tofu.'

'why didn't you pick the tofu first'

*speak at length about your complex feelings abt tofu*

PAY SOMEONE A LOT OF MONEY TO PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION WHILE YOU ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN YOU TO YOURSELF. They're just your belayer so you don't yeet yourself off the rock wall. All the climbing is you and only you babe.

It's time to quit this post before I mix any more metaphors in.

Could I get lost in your ocean eyes that burn like sage and melt like chocolate, your gaze that is hotter than the sun, and cooler than slate steel?

man i wish writing was as easy as drawing. the pictures just pop into my head fully formed à la birth of athena. the only thing standing in my way is hand eye coordination and perhaps the linear passage of time. my writing process on the other hand is some kind of infinite monkey + infinite typewriter jest. if i slam out enough words i'll eventually hit critical mass and some LUCA organism will claw it's way out of the primordial soup twitching and gasping.

if ive been at a restaurant cheerfully and enthusiastically waiting for the chicken parm to be served for like 5 hours, am I not allowed to be disappointed that it turned out to be salmon instead. sure salmon is really tasty to some people but what if I just don’t like salmon. why are they serving salmon in the chicken parm restaurant? “it’s such an interesting surprise that the chef brought out salmon! I can’t wait to see what’s for dess—” no. bring me my chicken parm .

anyway that’s how I feel in the miraculous ladybug fandom rn lol

90% of AI art discourse on this site is people arguing over the precise shape/size/color of the bottle that we should put the proverbial genie back in. horses have long since left the barn on this one champ. nobody's belling that cat

Say what you will about the Furiosa movie, but there is something so poignant about her demanding her girlhood back, her time, her innocence, all those she lost, and still not realizing at the end that there is no returning.

The throughline of 'there is no hope' and how Furiosa refuses to lose it, but not for the right reasons, not yet. She keeps the peach pit in her hair, her cheek, physical proof of a one day that is just the past, unable to truly move on from that nebulous dream. How she buries it in the body of the man who snatched her away from any clutch she could have of home, stole away her mother, stole away her family, stole away Jack, and grows the fruit of it to give to The Wives, just prior to their escape, to The Green Place, to what she thinks of Home.

But there is no returning. Home is not Home as she knew it. Home morphed and changed and drowned and soured.

Furiosa travels days and days, miles on miles, loses and loses and loses, and all to learn the lesson of this prequel: there is no going back. There is no back to return to. That girlhood is gone, all that she once had has dwindled. There is no more what once was, there is only what Is.

Furiosa works as a prequel because it sets up that Furiosa focused so much of her time on the act of looking back, an Orpheus of a character, who has long felt what she wanted dissipate into smoke, but who believed that if she just tried hard enough, she could get it all back. Her reasons are for 'redemption', to return, a replay, a record skipping re- re- re- but it is only when she sees that The Green Place is a wasteland in its own right, and when Max tells her to go back to the Citadel in Fury Road, that she realizes what she has been running TO was actually what she was running FROM: reality. The reality that she is where she is, and that her roots have grown in a place she now has the opportunity to mold for the better, and that she *can* make it better, even though the cost was (and always is) blood.

Furiosa spends all of her titular movie looking over her shoulder at the past to set up for a Furiosa who spends the last half of Fury Road looking to the future.
