Trial run prompt thing: Does anyone get what I mean (in the way that I'm describing it or similarly) or does this sound strange?
It's nice to see someone articulate this actually, hence the fact that is is a reblog, of course.
(The thoughts of substance are in the tags, this time.)
does anyone feel the layer of plexiglass between themselves and the rest of the world or is that just a me thing
#rafal#maybe?#it just makes sense#in my opinion#as far as idk self-isolation goes?#sometimes it could just be me projecting since this is kind of an overly particular one (and I'm biased)#personal post#not sure if I can describe it without sounding like I'm chronically indoors or unobservant#(ok I sort of am—depending on what people define as real nature intake)#but this does make me think of a “parallel”/vaguely related feeling I've had#that then results from the “plexiglass”/surreal everything-is-part-of-a-play feeling?#like: oh real life is milling about out there... huh.#this may not be the right descriptor#but I'll try again to convey it: it's similar to when you get away from the flatness of the page or a screen of text#and you go outside or look out the window and stare at the tree boughs above#there's so much depth and dimension to the shadows and forms to marvel at#but you weren't paying attention before#or#alternatively#it's when you look up from something you're reading#realize there's actual noise around you in a public place#and it's like surfacing from being submerged underwater#it's just... when you tune into life and you KNEW it was there before#but did not register it at the time (since it was diluted)#and y'know what?#I'll tag this with#interiority#because it also happens to fit#if we want to look at things in a more narrative way than reality allows#EDIT: I forgot the canon “evidence:” Rafal watches the Nevers' torture without moving for days on end until he's interrupted.
