#or mental state I guess

Isn’t it so strange that we are drawn to things that hurt us?
Think about it. The media we consume, the people we cling to: An episode of a show could make us cry but we’ll label it as “good” for a multitude of reasons. A parent may say something horrible to us yet we tell them we love them every night. Why is that? How can we love things that cause us pain?
I believe that, deep down, we are optimistic. A race, or species of people who see good in something, whether that be subconscious or not. No matter how much a “pessimist” may see the world in defeat, he still yearns for something.
#I don’t know where this came from#or the context behind said thought#also not a fandom post woah nelly#anyways#I find people call me an optimist so it isn’t hard for me to see the good in things#but even my personality speaks for my point#or mental state I guess#I’m truthfully not a happy person#and I haven’t been for a very long time#I should get that checked out#the point being that I’m still able to see good despite this fact#I love humanity#and I think there is so much about us that is so wonderful#and this subconscious optimism is absolutely one of those points#anyways tags:#thought#random thoughts#psychology#consciousness#subconscious#not fandom#optimism#pessimism#people#humans#humanity#love

Danny Phantom was not used to fighting magic users. Ghosts, yes. But humans with powers? No.
So when a cult managed to successfully summon and bind him, he lacked the knowledge of how to stop them.
And they tore him apart.
His core was broken into pieces, each one then implanted into one of the most loyal cult members (or potentially sold off to another person to use…) to grant them a portion of Phantom’s many powers.
However, the cult didn’t entirely know what they were doing either. You see, it turns out that shattering Danny’s core in that manner didn’t truly end him. His soul still persisted, still refused to die even as it was trapped amongst the disparate shards. Though each individual piece lacked the strength of mind or power to affect their hosts, they would gradually forge themselves together anew should they ever be gathered back together.
And after Red Hood killed several of the cult’s members, that process began. Their shards, now freed, transferred to the vigilante, instinctively latching onto his proto-core. Though still not yet whole enough to form a truly conscious fragment of Danny, they are enough to start to nudge Hood in the right direction (bolstered in effectiveness by Jason’s connection to death)
Jason can feel it deep within his soul. There’s something more to this cult’s powers than just normal magic, and he has a growing need to find out what that is. To stop them. To burn them all down and dig their secrets from the ashes.
#it just occurred to me that this might come off as mpreg-y and yeah i guess it kinda is but that wasn’t my intention!!#danny’s consciousness is still based on his adult state. it’s just currently broken up so each piece only has part of the story#and will coalesce into that adult state as the pieces come together#which starts to happen whenever anyone holds multiple of the shards#so like he’d start off just vaguely nudging a host but then gradually regain his memories/power and be able to talk and whatnot#and he’d be able to escape the host in his ghost form once he has enough#which could potentially be before he’s *fully* back together mentally#thus theoretically allowing him to become multiple distinct ghosts (with each being only part of his full personality)#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc#danny phantom x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc prompt#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp prompt#liminal jason todd#dpxdc jason todd#dead on main ship#or could be platonic if you prefer i guess#but body sharing and helping someone gradually heal seems homoerotic AF#especially if you add on some level of memory bleedthrough so Jason glimpses elements of Danny’s life before they can even talk

Call this the "I'm hyper-alert for any fracture in my mental health because a good portion of my extended family is either senile or insane"
#--might delete this in the morning actually#just very high and thinking about my family rn#+ I don't know if this experience is common but I feel kinda weird having it online#yeagh I was intimately aware as a kid that i never really got to meet anyone in my family besides my aunt + grandma b/c they're all like.#dangerous#means i spent most of my childhood naturally assuming that i'd be unhinged by this point#which- in retrospect as an adult- i'd guess that *most* of my family is fine. and that most of the ones i heard about were unique cases#but i still got to like. age 20 before thinking to question that and realize that i'd probably be completely fine#so it was weird to be like. ohhhh i probably won't actually be insane or dead by age 24 so. i should probably plan for the future a little#also to have no frame of reference for how normal your mental state is#neway. i will probably delete this soon#if this is relatable to anyone 🤝

the little scene we got of team rwby talking about ruby's outburst was very telling with everyone's reaction.
blake didn't say much but she was sympathetic, and it makes sense - she's no stranger to depression or to lashing out and running from the people you care about. and she was still playing the leadership role in ruby's absence, mediating yang's frustration and keeping everyone together.
i think it's fascinating that yang was the angriest over it. yang loves ruby more than anything, but i think there is truth to the idea that the nature of her relationship with ruby as her big sister and protector made it harder for her to understand this side of ruby, because to yang ruby has always been her happy, brave little sister who she protected from the horrors of the world. and now she must be hating herself for that blindness (though of course it's not her fault).
and weiss seemed to understand ruby best. she got that ruby felt isolated, and put on a pedestal, and that she didn't think she could talk to them. and i think she gets it because as ruby's partner she feels responsibility over it. since volume 1, weiss has only ever wanted to be a good teammate and a good partner to ruby, and now she must feel like she failed.
#blahs#rwby#rwby9#i hope it goes without saying that i am Not blaming any of wby for ruby's mental state i think this is just how they feel about it#sometimes people you love are suffering in ways you could never have guessed and it's not your fault you couldn't see#anyway!#i think we're obviously going to get yang and ruby stuff from this but i am once again begging for weiss to get stuff with her too#they seem to be setting things up for them this volume. PLEASE follow through

#zeisty’s comic stuff#zeisty’s heavy hitters#in stars and time#in stars and time au#isat au#in stars and time siffrin#longer than necessary au#ltn au#zeisty’s in betweens#yeah i thought there was no way i could ruin siffrin’s mental state and couldn’t come up with an au#but then i did so. HAHA WHOOPS#isat change god#close enough I guess!#not sure if I should tag this as spoilers because this is an actual missable sprite for the statue in dormont#I mean i’ll do it just in case. but nobody else has to tag it as such if they’re reblogging this from me if they don’t think so#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#just in case tag#also btw I like poking fun at myself :3#i am very silly and i only mean it in the best way possible when I do :D#i’m only saying this because I did that in the caption for this.#I know who I am and I love myself for it :3

I don't care what kind of hotshot future surgeons they have, I can't believe that they replaced all the specials' bones with synthetics, for multiple reasons (some would be difficult and dangerous to remove without damaging important tissue, you need your pelvis/sternum/spine for marrow production, 16 year olds aren't done growing although idk if Dr. Cable cares about that) but now I am imagining 35 year old Tally alone in the wild with the world gone to shit yet again because of and despite of her best efforts staring at her own cast-off 16-year-old skull.
#there's no way they replaced that right. but the Image#this series is a TRIP to reread having read the sequel series#where like. David ditched her when her mental illness wasn't fun and hot anymore I guess#she and Shay have not fixed ANY of their shit#as soon as humanity got its collective mind back we jumped into war fascist surveillance states and evil robots#there are NUKES#and she's like you know what. maybe I shouldn't have overthrown the dystopia regime as a scrappy teen#maybe they had their reasons#like people should have free will but goddamn. this is what you do with it?#uglies

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???
i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3
Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.
Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.
And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.
#necrotic answerings#batcest#bruce wayne#dick grayson#tim drake#fandom tag#anyway the fandom is i guess mean to all of them#but like it's deserving.#everytime i meet a tim anti i'm like you're SO right. he's the worst. pls hate his ass more.#same with bruce. like never met a bruce anti who didn't have endless receipts for hating his ass.#(except for those using the shallow 'he's a billionaire beating up the mentally ill' argument which. i ignore)#(bc why are you. consuming superhero content if you just don't like or understand the genre. it's lazy pseudointellectual nonsense.)#and i don't think ppl are truly mean to dick. i think they just don't understand him.#which extends to the entire batfamily bc well. the state of the fandom and all.#like “everyone else is wrong about them” isn't in a “no one gets them but me” way#(except about tim truly no one gets him but me /j)#it's in a “oh y'all just want to fit them into neat boxes don't you” way#one more person call dick grayson “eldest daughter core” and i'm going to your house and eating the stuffing out all of your pillows.#first of all can we stop calling male characters “female coded” in any way please#women exist in comics too.#second of all it's just not true? and it's not the complex he has with bruce nor his “siblings” if you wish to call them that#and then bruce. where do you even start.#you dare say you think it's in character for bruce to hit his kids and *SOCIETY. society goes wild.*#like ofc it has to be in specific contexts. he's not just swinging.#and sometimes it *is* written very OOC bc bruce is written as a machismo self insert i give you that#but yeah a soldier who views his children as soldiers and has zero healthy emotional regulation or communication skills#is gonna sometimes swing in his worst moments. it is just how the superhero genre works everyone is gonna fist fight to solve problems.#why are you reading comics about ppl who hit other ppl for a living if you don't like it when they hit ppl.#also random hot take about dick's characterization#the young justice tv show did incredible damage to ppl's perception of him and i dislike the take it's the best adaptation of him

well that's fucking awesome. all of the damage russians have done to our electric infrastructure can be repaired in one year minimum. IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE TAHN ONE YEAR TO REPAIR ALL OF THE ELECTRIC STATIONS RUSSIANS HIT WITH THEIR MISSILES. AND WE AIN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT CIVILIAN OR ANY OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE. ONLY ELECTRIC ONE. MORE THAN ONE YEAR. AND WE ARE STILL NOT STRUGGLING ENOUGH IN ONLINE PEOPLE'S OPINION. FUCK OFF
#like look I'm just a guy who fucking wants to relax on my summer break and enjoy the last months of being unemployed and careless#and all I fucking get is “the electricity will soon be out” notification on my phone#LIKE OKAY I FUCKING GET YOU YOU ARE USED TO US FUCKING STRUGGLING AND I MAY BE SEEN BYPER PRIVILEGED FOR COMPLAINING#BUT IT'S SO FUCKING EASY TO JUDGE SOMEONE WHILE YOU FUCKING HAVE EVERYTHING I CAN EVER DREAM OF (basic human needs)#like YES THERE'S AN ONGOING WAR IN MY COUNTRY AND I KNOW IT. BUT WE DIDN'T CHOSE TO LIVE NEXT TO FUCKING RUSSIA#we just want to live safely and have access to the most basic things that many people all around the world take for granted#we want to feel safe on our land#we want to stop fucking worrying that the next building hit by russian missile will actually be ours because no one is safe#and still I fucking see those fuckos online telling me how we “don't act like people who live in a country that goes through a war”#well I guess in that case we should all stop buying food and clothes to be REAL people who are suffering from a war#like you for real?? you gonna fucking make us give up the only sourse of distraction and dopamine we can get?#you fucking judging people for buying stuff because “you shouldn't buy new things#there's an ongoing war in your country“ you fr?? so like what we all shall fucking give up and die??#buying new things often gives people some dopamine which actually helps to stay somehow stable (as sane as it's possible)#or do you want us to be a fucking nut-state? idk some mental-case-state. fuck off#stand with ukraine#russia is a terrorist state

venting like an idiot
the main reason i dont wanna go back to uni is that i feel like i've completely embarrassed myself last year. idk, i feel horrified at the thought of returning and looking these people in the eye. i didn't do anything, i was lazy and barely finished my projects and the only way to redeem myself somehow would be to come back with some new energy and work hard. i didn't even really get a job this summer because i really wanted to rest, cause i thought i would drop out. and i just feel worse, i feel even more tired
#ughhhh#im not going to drop out just yet#itd be a shame i think#theres many opportunities at my uni that i just dont take cause i cant commit to them or im too tired or im too scared#idk if doing any of this is worth it if i don't truly commit tho#i dont think ive learned anything these past 2 years tbh i feel like ive been wasting time and money#and i know my mental state is just my fault cause i cant get myself to do anything and i feel shame and spiral but goddd#idk i just feel like shit#the academic year starts so soon and i just dread everything thats to come#idk i dont even feel like im going to come out of this school with a portfolio. im literally nothing and ive done nothing#i have no idea how i could write a dissertation because ive literally learned nothing i have no desire to learn i just want to fucking chil#i cant get myself to care much for anything except silly shit thats just a distraction from uni work ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh#sucks sucks everything sucks#sorry for this stupid fucking essay im just having lots of thoughts and no one to tell them so.. um#vent#i know this is all my fault but also like. what am i supposed to do about it every solution sounds like literal hell to me -_-#i guess ive been feeling less suicidal recently which i guess is good but i feel like its bad cause like ykiyk ig#idk its all a huge contradiction

I thought it was hilarious, at first, that everyone’s decided Doomguy is still the protagonist of MyHouse.wad. After all, it doesn’t really have much more to do with Doom than gmod has to do with Half-Life 2. But then I remembered, isn’t that a plot point of Doom II? Visiting the burnt out ruins of your hometown on your way to the portal to Hell? Why couldn’t Doomguy take a few minutes to have a nightmare of an emotional journey in a childhood friend’s home to come to terms with everyone and everything he ever loved being destroyed?
#doom#myhouse.wad#lines i did#just to be clear i still do think its very funny that its been unanimously decided that dg is the protagonist of myhouse.wad#man has been fighting demons for thirty years and what does he get for his thirtieth birthday? more demons#except this time theyre mental and emotional demons#myhouse.wad does deserve all the popularity its getting tho#like.. yeah its amazing in its atmosphere n stuff#but its also nuts on a purely technological level#stepped inside the house the first time and just had to stop for a sec bc is that a hecking. BASEMENT?? a SECOND FLOOR in CLASSIC DOOM????#that shouldnt even be POSSIBLE.#(i mean. it obviously IS possible w clever use of various teleport effects. but still. it was a bit of a :O !!!!!!! moment)#setting a ridiculously high bar right off the bat and then following through for the rest of the game in meeting it#anyway. it was really good.#i guess in this case the good end would be more of a metaphorical/mental state?#being at peace internally as u go to voluntarily enter the depths of hell...#or something like that; anyway. idk man i am still just going :eyes: at the whole thing

Louis acting more traditionally masculine, aggressive and angry ways in Paris coinciding with his realization that he hasn't had real control over his life in 77 years because of armand
#hes having an episode#hes purging and engaging in sh like this is his most mentally unwell weve seen him#or at least recognizably unwell cus i dont think louis has ever been well on the show. even during the pilot pre lestat hes going thru it#but louis has lost control#hes distant from claudia he cant show affection to his partner everything with the coven and armand#the numbness he feels after he turns Madeleine like hes really had a manic episode immediately followed by a severe depressive state#louis lost control and whenever he loses control he either tries to get it back thru food restriction or being masculine and guess whos-#sitting with his legs wide open ogling men out it the open#yeah louis is goung thru it!!!! where is my demure young lady hes behaving like a skeeze#interview with the vampire#iwtv spoilers#louis de pointe du lac#interview with the vampire spoilers#iwtv s2#iwtv season 2#iwtv#amc iwtv#iwtv 2022#ldpdl#and it coincides with his realization of how much hes been manipulated by armand

been searching for days to see if anyone has talked about silent hill 2 from a disability/chronic/terminal illness perspective. everyone rightfully talking about the misogyny theming but i dont see anyone engage with marys illness outside of like. isnt that tragic. she saw silent hill 'in her restless dreams' and she was dreaming restlessly because she was contending with a lost future where she got to go there again. what was it like to Be in the hospital. what was she thinking about
#i havent checked like. ao3 yet i guess#maybe there are character studies what will knock my socks off#but when i look for analysis all i can find is focused on mental illness specifically#and like thats definitely pertinent here!#but it feeds back into the false dichotomy between sickness in the mind versus the body#i dont believe you cant find anything relevant to talk about when the game is full of bodies#and those bodies are all in varying states of disability#mary was dehumanized Because she was sick. he says she died 3 years ago because that is When she got sick#like there is stuff to dig into here!! im not the guy to do it!!! but i really wish i was#meta

Y'know, when it comes to ships with similar dynamics to Goosepowers I normally don't like adding more characters to it(with the exception of *occasionally* adding Wander to Deathglare or adding mE TO FIZZMODEUS PLS JUST GIVE ME A CHAN-), but like Matthew x Gideon x Julie is actually really good. Dont know if I like it as much as just Gideon x Julie on its own but still its so fuckin good-
#there are two things I like in a fictional relationship and those two things are evil and polyamorous#what does that say about me?#idk ask my therapist lmao#scott pilgrim takes off#gideon graves#matthew patel#julie powers#gideon x julie#julie x gideon#matthew x gideon#julie x matthew#I guess?#tbh they give me more poly v vibes w/ Gideon in the middle#can you tell I am going insane-#goosepowers#gravespatel#patelgraves#I have seen both#kinda prefer gravespatel but for convenience I will use both#this should qualify as late night ramblings based purely off of my mental state but its only 7pm so it technically doesnt-
