anybody wanna go to a mall with me and hang out until we get kicked out because we're actually enjoying the experience and not spending all of our MoneyCoin on ServiceProducts?
#tenille talk#shopping malls#i wish mall culture was still real#need me a space to just hang out with friends#that doesn't require money to get into#shockingly little for the youths and young adults to do#not shocking actually. but it is reality

So I’ve been thinking about the boys combining their powers recently and I ended up really wondering about what would happen if a supercharged Mikey (time/dimensional powers) mixed his abilities with a supercharged Leo’s (space powers) and all I could think of was:
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt mikey#rottmnt leo#portal pals#oops reality as we know it is destroyed lmao#in Donnie and Raph’s corner they straight up make Voltron I bet#bit tired if you couldn’t tell#I’ll make an ACTUAL post pondering the possibilities of combo mystics eventually but alas 2 tired#all the main iterations of tmnt come forward to stop this ‘sudden multiuniversal tear in reality’ and when they wonder how it happened#this is what they see#‘I expected this from a Michelangelo - but a Leonardo?’😔#‘I’m more shocked it wasn’t a Donatello’#‘Give it time’

solution for intrusive thoughts
#[.art]#self#theyve especially bothersome lately (*last week/few days) alongside the 'people can read your mind' so i'm deciding to make fun of them*#and the 'youre hallucinating reality and are actually at a psychiatric hospital'. boo. that's the x character was in a coma all along trope#boring + mid writing + relies on shock value + dont care + didnt ask. I need to get treated for mild ocd symptoms someday#*it's not a problem /now/ btw. I need to specify this. I'm making a joke about it rn because it isn't being an issue at the moment#the only problem rn is that I keep picking at a scab and if I do it too often it will never heal over. rip

With how much Voyager plays with the concepts of reality and illusion, there's an argument that they never actually escaped the Caretaker
"When your only reality is an illusion, then illusion is a reality."
#star trek voyager#Caretaker is out there playing a game of Sims with the crew of Voyager#i know picard and prodigy negate this theory#but within the series itself#the thaw was a game within a game#Q knows but just comes and visits for the hell of it#they're so far out there who's to say what's actually happening#they immediately go to the welcoming bee which is an illusion confirmed#what is it to be alive? all the questions about the doctor's personhood#a shocking number of episodes with distorted reality for every single character...#i actually have a lot to add to this#but if I sit on it I might never put it out there#maybe i'll come back 'cause i am fucking reeling with this one#again multitudes of simultaneous thoughts and interpretations about it all the time#anyway the fight is on

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'
#red said#recent events have reminded me that my life has involved like. a LOT of other people's psychosis#like not in a way where i have been Beset By Terrifying Crazies bc that's not like. a thing.#but a lot of people in my life have had a lot of really severe psychotic episodes#and i FORGET sometimes. that actually that is an Unusual Amount Of Experience With Psychosis for someone who's not#for somebody who has not really personally ever had psychotic episodes (unless severe PTSD flashbacks count)#actually i tell a lie i have maybe had One psychotic episode but because it was very situational and i knew what was happening#i was able to ride it out. because i am literally only psychotic Inside Hospitals and so that's all fine#as long as i LITERALLY NEVER HAVE TO HAVE INPATIENT CARE. Very important to me to never ever ever require surgery i think.#i can handle the amount of psychosis i get from a 1-4 hour stopoff in hospital#as long as i know I'm leaving soon then i can just Cope with the fact that the walls are moving and reality is thin#ANYWAY that's not the point the point is i forget! that most ppl i know have experience of at most a handful of severe psychotic episodes#some people i know have experienced more for sure. especially if the episodes were mostly theirs.#but people really seem to expect me to be more freaked out by their symptoms of psychosis than i am#bc i don't think i really register it as frightening unless they're in actual danger or Currently Aggressing Actually At Me#like i WORRY about them bc it can super suck but it's not SHOCKING or WEIRD#there have definitely been times ive been frightened. one time i woke up in the night and my friend was standing over me with a knife#but also like he was still HIM he was just having a moment. and as soon as i got the knife off him he just came back and broke down.#and we were fine and he was safe and i learnt the valuable lesson that even when people seem like they wanna kill you they probably don't#tbf now I'm thinking about it it's honestly a tossup whether he was there to threaten or because he felt a need to guard us#like to be clear probably don't try and take a knife off someone having a psychotic break. i was 17 and it was 3am and i knew him very well#i probably did not make the smartest call but nobody got hurt is the point#anyway you know there's that kind of psychotic episode and my granny got very violently angry a few times. buuuut you know there's also#been plenty of other times I've been with somebody having an episode and it's been chill as hell.#my ex saw and heard monsters so much that eventually she just got sick of being scared. we used to watch TV with them#i would sometimes have to sit on a bit of sofa that wasn't haunted and we might not be able to watch certain things bc they didn't like it#most of the time she was hallucinating there was absolutely nothing to worry about we just had a few extra variables#honestly of everyone i know who's had psychotic episodes or schizophrenia the amount of times it's been a material risk#is like. low single figures? maybe low double if you include self harm but idk what the cause and effect is there.#idk why you would need to be frightened like 99.99% of the time it truly is usually just Oh No That Seems Distressing For You I'm Sorry

could just be me but i really do feel like team galactic are all best friend buddies who have fun together. also i watched this (their episode of pokémon generations) recently and it only deeply emotionally wounded me a little bit
#like they all seemed genuinely so happy and excited#and then cyrus gets swept away by giratina and the portal vanishes without a trace#and they actually seem so completely broken about it#they are shocked!!!!#like these guys are the villains but man why did they make that hurt!!!! lowkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#platinum messes me up man. the idea of cyrus actually finding inner peace inside the distortion world#content to live there silently and alone#and they actually made that idea a reality within this animated episode#that in a way he actually got what he ultimately wanted#it’s really sad man. it’s really sad that that’s who cyrus is#everyone is all freaking out and worrying about him and saturn is trying to contact him via earpiece#and all cyrus says is ‘do not look for me’#like abandon the mission. forget about me. this is my ideal world after all#like the idea he’s just gonna spend eternity there and he’s fine with it#but everyone else in his life genuinely cared about him#dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#pokémon#dppt

Current thoughts: A Human (rightfully) punching a Vulcan in the face for something and the Vulcan actually immediately realizing they fucked up and agreeing with the Human that punching them was the most logical course of action and becoming their number one defender of the Human not facing consequences
More specifically, I’m imagining them passionately (for a Vulcan) petitioning for this Human not to get in trouble, citing all the logical reasons they should be let go, and after a long while of this, barely dropping the bombshell that they were the person who got punched by the Human
#I’m imagining the inciting incident being something where they were veering into xenophobia territory and not realizing it#then they get punched (followed by a passionate speech)#and realize ‘oh shit that actually was a fucked up thing they were saying wasn’t it??’#and oh my god they were saying that to humans and probably making all of them feel so unsafe and everything#sometimes you do just. gotta actually knock some sense into a person.#jot them back into reality#*shock not jot#mostly I just like this scenario for the reveal at the end#‘you make a great argument but we should really see how the victim wants this to be handled since they were the one who was hurt’#‘it’s me. I was the one who was punched.’#everyone else in shock thinking maybe this was the human’s friend who was being a bit biased#nope.#Star Trek#Vulcans#Humans

who do i have to seduce at bioware to guarantee a moment in veilguard where lavellan gets to tell solas to grow up. just point me in their general direction and i'll take it from there
#the shock to the system it would cause might actually fix him. like when someone says ''girl get up" lol#and i just think its neat. 3000 year old man objectively detaching from reality out of grief. coping w it by seeing the world in abstracts#and metaphor and concepts. beautiful stylized murals on the wall#versus his 30-something/40-something ex who does not have the luxury of removing themselves from the world and who can offer a perspective#that is so much more tangible and honest and real that what he's prepared to entertain in his current state#i could say sooooo much abt how solavellan is such a sensory-focused pairing#touch/taste/smell/sound/sight are all so much more visceral and important and sacred to a guy who's spent millenia in a dream state#and the pairing being quite literally a REALITY check lol. solas girl get ur head out of the damb clouds !!! we ar efucking under attack !!

holy shit lmao I'm on a thread about local urban legends and this is WILDLY INTERESTING??? also when I was a kid my mom always used to tell me "the train used to be underground downtown, but then they moved it aboveground" because [insert vaguely spooky things here]. the time this tunnel was built/abandoned was probably around the time she moved to the city, so she was probably telling me a real fact with embellishment and not pure bullshit to entertain her child lol
#jury's out on whether she actually saw cyndi lauper on stephen ave tho#listen a lot of the stuff. like 99% of the stuff shes told me is uh. either intentional lie or something she made up but firmly believes to#be true now. she'll never admit to either. so IF THIS HAD SOME BASIS IN REALITY--#shocking. purely. shocking.

decided to run Siegfried von Schroeder through the ol' f/o traits bingo card and aha...ahahaha...that does explain a few things 🙈💖
#pink absolutely counts as a redhead#he's also a reality bender in the Mad Mod vein: hacking into computer systems to change environments and rules and internal logic#and pretty much every YGO character is very flexible given some of the poses they pull during card games 😂💖#i'm actually shocked by how many of these he hits!!!#siegfried von schroeder#zigfried von schroeder#yu-gi-oh!#ygo#yugioh#starleskatalks

when people write spencer reid in a way that makes him unable to care for himself or speak for himself or like…. seemingly do like anything on his own, it feels very…. ableist
#there’s more i have to say and a very specific person this is about but i’m like Shocked right now#at how u can first off ignore like… canon not even just canon but like reality so… loudly#i forgot my second off that’s how hard my brain is working to process what i’ve just read#spencer reid is like a real adult he’s like 20-30 in the show he can talk he can understand things like i don’t understand#i’m like so insulted rn and it’s NOT EVEN ABOUT ME#actually i change my mind it IS about me i’m pulling the autism card and holding strong on the ableism#kateposting

I don't have any sense of national pride but I do actually have a sense of nationality in general. I was born here, I love the land I live on, I love *some* of the people, we have an evil evil history and present but I want so much to have a country that can take ownership of that and make real change and offer real reparations. Instead I live in a country where enough of the population has voted for a party who's campaign is solely based on hate to win even one seat in parliament, probably 10 or 12. Probably twice as many as the green party. Yes it's going to be a labour wipeout but look at that result and tell me you feel victorious. Tell me you feel proud. Tell me you don't feel disgusted right to the bottom of your heart that even one person you share an island with thought that Reform ideology was one they could get behind.
With any luck, in four years time we will have reduced poverty levels and an attempt at some genuine social infrastructure. But the roots of facisistic hate have woven themselves so deeply into our society that I don't think we have anything to cheer about. I don't think these results indicate any future worth looking forward to.
#and theres nowhere to escape it#even if i move to somewhere that doesnt have the same problems (which is almost impossible)#i will still be British#i think unfortunately thats a part of me forever#and i will still feel so much shame and so much sorrow watching what we do#and it sucks so much to know that this shouldn't be a surprise because its England.#we've been killing and fighting and colonising and siding with nazis and brutalising immigrants for as long as possible#and i know i was born into that legacy i know that#but it just hurts because the people that i know and love#and 99% of the people i see in my every day life#and meet and talk to and get to know#are just people#and yet as a nation we cant seem ro fucking help ourselves#idk man im just miserable#im not even that surprised im just shocked at the reality of it#and there are so many of us who fight so hard for change#and so many of us who are brutalised and dismissed as not belonging#and for tens and even hundreds of years weve been trying to change things#and the reality is that you can fix something thats rotten#but i live here i live in the rotten thing i love the land that the rot is sitting on#sobbing crying throwing up#i cant talk about it anymore man#I can't#like i actually just feel so utterly miserable about it#Fuck#al is talking#uk election

anon, just for the record i'm not a proshipper because that's an active identity, and there's only one identity i've ever chosen for myself aka a linguist. i consider it a kind of semantic or even political violence when others ascribe identities to me. i have a whole thing about people trying to tell me what i actually think or holding me responsible for actions of others based on the identity they had ascribed to me.
i'm actually a passive degenerate* who believes in minding my own business and hopes others would mind theirs as long no harm is done.
i don't have the energy and the mental health to seek out individuals like you to do outreach and deprogramming, and maybe bring you back to reality. because shit you people do actually messes with my abuse recovery. and let's be real, most of you people are too far gone and made these beliefs your whole identity or are just opportunistic and vile clout chasers.
unless you actively attack my friends, then well you came to me and i can't really ignore it anymore.
I think it's genuinely disturbing to be so invested as you are into projecting your own fears and imagination onto other people's thoughts while completely disregarding what they actually tell you. like @/cursedvibes took literal time out of his day to treat you seriously and you willfully misinterpreted everything he said.
this might come as a shock to you, but this is exactly what my very abusive parent has always done to me and other people in my family. assumed to know what we think and of course always assumed the worst intentions, even behind actions that had nothing to do with them. has talked over us when we tried to explain, twisted our words and good will, lied about what we actually said just so it'd match their imagination.
your behaviour is extremely dodgy and no amount of performative feminism (that smells of terfism* from a mile away) will mask that. people like you hide behind the language of the left to promote your "think of the poor women and children"* beliefs.
don't you realise how deeply fucked up is sending ask after to cursedvibes? trying to hold him accountable for things that make you uncomfortable, even though he didn't do them. but you think that he should apologise to you and atone for the those things because someone people who like the same character he does committed those "transgressions". or coming to my blog and looking for my "crimes" and then insult him for them. instead of, idk blocking him, me and all those other kenjaku fans that you don't like and moving on with your life, you know handling your own disgust response to things that don't concern you and do no one any harm by yourself.
things you do are literally bully and creeper shit. with an even shittier thing mixed in, that's what the * are about, though i doubt you know what is the common denominator for these three things.
#off topic#i was shocked when i first saw this kind of stuff years ago in the hxh fandom#but now i know what actual#not imaginary#real life harm people like you anon do and fuck me#i just wish this will come back to you anon irl#that you will behave like this when it matters and reality will catch up with you#the moment people who are not terminally online like you#will instantly recoil from this kind of behaviour#and that's what you deserve#sorry i'm just petty

i got a ds as my christmas present a few years back with a copy of animal crossing (which is considered a bad version of the game btw) and something i keep coming back to is these little objectively somewhat pointless interactions like going for a coffee. you just go to the cafe, and buy a cup. you drink it, and you leave. i always say goodbye before i go. im trying to say thanks. i cant really see any practical reason for doing it, it is objectively just a money suck, but i love doing it. at first i thought the little bird who runs it might open up to me but he doesnt seem the type, but i still like him, so i go and visit him. it feels so real. like he remembers me but doesnt like talking about it. its such an incredibly special and intimate feeling. i wonder if other games at the time were able to cultivate this or if it was unique
#ive only really played modern games where everything has a reward. it was so nice to do something so close to reality#im sure there might be some in game reason to do it but i dont know. maybe you get energy or something#i dont really care. i felt like i was forming a connection emotionally. i wish we still valued that in games#its the only thing im really interested in.#if you have any game recommendations for the ds lmk actually. my sister got a 3ds this year#its funny. i wanted a gaming console so bad as a kid. specifically a ds or a wii#and we have them now! and i dont much care about them. and im kind of glad. im glad i was forced to do something else#i do not look down on gaming as a hobby at all but i am glad its a smaller one for me#i would also like to talk about a similar feeling i felt when i played subnautica (which they took off the gamepass before i could finish i#what the fuck man.)#they briefly put the sequel on so obvi i gave it a shot but i feel it was terrible in comparison#something uniquely insane about the first one is the feeling of isolation. the deep fear#you crash land on the planet and immediately all your communication off-planet is cut and it seems everyone perished in the crash#you spend a couple of hours getting situated and then the ships core explodes. a huge shock wave shakes the entire planet#standing on top of my pod and looking out at the mountain-sized wreck was an insane feeling of isolation. you have to experience it.#and then you start picking up signals on your little tablet. other escape pods. the signals from previous missions who came to do research#you travel out. find food. build things. the whole time working towards seeing if you can find the other pods#each one#empty#often containing a log of their last moments. usually eaten by something. you got lucky#you landed in the only area without a massive predator.#you find alien tech. learn about a disease that wiped out the planet. the entire time you are completely alone#its such a unique feeling. no npcs. no story you have to follow if you dont want to. but god is there not much else. you'll get around to i#discovering the alien species is horrifying and amazing#its an incredible game and i think its sense of loneliness is its greatest achievement. being truly alone on an uncaring planet#sitting there and watching the fish swim by#its unmatched. truly#i would actually love game recommendations if you have any. i love games with unique story lines or characters too#im much more into stories than gameplay#which totally goes against what i just said about subnautica in theory but not in practice

ultimately no matter how you feel about shauna giving birth ep it very much IS the safest option in the woooorld which is disappointing in itself
#like there was no safer option considering the context like the baby wouldn't have lived and if it did fucked up shit would happen#bc there is all that context they can't remove#so yeah imo? safest option that still has half a second of dreamland baby cannibalism#to placate those who might actually want fucked up things in the fucked up show bfbsbsns#oh well. in another reality this is a daring shocking ep that starts interesting discourse all over abt pregnancy and child birth#or whatever#as it is!#yellowjackets spoilers#yellowjackets blogging
