psychology is basically someone who went to too much school pulling out a bowl from the stew pot and calling the bowl that got mostly potatoes potato soup even though they picked out the potatoes and left behind meat

and then another doctor is like "hmm yes i think this is meat soup" because there's mostly meat left

and then a psychiatrist sees the lone bay leaf and exclaims "behold! bay leaf soup!" and pulls the bay leaf out and decides you're cured

I can’t believe a boyfriend made a silly sex joke to lighten the mood after both partners had a moment of vulnerability. The audacity. The horror. The normalcy! Unbelievable. How dare a conversation about feelings turn to levity. How dare a couple have a light chat about trauma-related things over dinner that doesn’t turn into an incredibly deep heart to heart instead of a joke and moving on. Unbelievable. I’m never watching this show again! 👎🏻

You ever think about how in episode 1 of pvp civ its established with the 1v1 that saves Evbo's life that dropping your sword on the ground is enough to kill you and even counts as a win for Evbo how he never unequips his sword from his main hand and uses his offhand for eating, using other tools and placing blocks You ever think about how this detail is never brought up as an option for Evbo during the multiple times he asked someone to kill him or had to die for something to progress or otherwise You ever think about how he immediately chooses the option where he will get frankly, painfully maimed by someone he is close with and how nobody hesitates or brings up that he could drop the sword on the ground and seems to take the idea of being brutally killed too well for someone like him? Why would someone actively go for the worst option every single time when the better option is simple and doesn't involve suffering? Does he feel like he has to be suffering?

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

younger Roy laying in the ICU after his older teammate battered him, drugged up and in pain, regretting his cruel joke, swearing to himself he’d apologize to that guy the next time he saw him and just repeatedly thinking about how his grandad would be so disappointed in the man he’d become.

I was reading back through caged lungs and I realized just how many times Donnie got hit in the head during the last fight and how hard, no wonder Leo is concerned about brain damage.

Also, when Donnie goes to see April at the end of chapter 2, is he just dissociating really hard or is that an actual physical symptom from the…everything really!

not to mention the oxygen deprivation with raph throttling him! the last fight is so visceral and nasty and it was the final nail in the coffin when it came to donnie's issues physically and mentally, because although he would have been terrified of them regardless i dont think it wouldve been "inconsolable screaming heap at the sound of raph's voice" like it was in the early bit of CW.

and id mark that as dissociation personally. the second he registered as being in relative safety he kind of shut down because he wasn't able to process it, which had kind of been a running coping mechanism through the last month or so of CL. MIND YOU: IT IS NOT HELPED ALONG BY THE BRAIN FOG CAUSED BY HIS TIME IN ISOLATION, its a nasty concoction of problems. and also yeah physical exhaustion definitely doesnt help! he ran all the way to april's apartment while actively starving, after all.

although itll get better after [REDACTED PLOT THREAD] is handled, i think dissociation is gonna be something donnie will be dealing with for years, because spending four days in a quiet, enclosed dark space has some extremely messed up consequences for your brain and body. it was also in general something he used to cope under the abuse, so i could see him having issues with it when he's not in his right mind (sick or sleep-deprived, for example), i could see him regressing back to that old mindset when something like that happens. his perception of reality is permanently a little fucked :(

why is the concept of showing empathy for drug/alcohol addicts so hard to understand for some ppl? v.v they suffer too sis, that problem has to come from somewhere and i bet most of them would rather not be addicted in the first place. some people don't know what nuance is i swear. am i crazy for having empathy with addicts??? i don't think so.

are the timelines overlapping? because the scenes we saw is dome being alive (great rescued him) he's well at the hospital and then at the same time we see tonkla grieving for his brother which is dome so what is real ?!

because i believe the real one is the one dome being killed, right? because that is what really happened before great sees the future

now, we saw win knowing that tonkla is a suspect (so this time, he's still on the case unlike what we saw on the past episode) and then scene after was tonkla calling him. what timeline is that?

so it'll be like;

dome died, tonkla grieving, win & tonkla met, korn doesn't answer tonkla, win getting off the case, win & tonkla fucking, korn & tonkla ’break up’

dome is alive— (what do we know about this timeline?)

where in those timeline happening the one where win knew that tonkla was a suspect because he's (dome) still dead, but this time he was still working on the case

THIS IS SO MESSED UP IM SORRY JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IM SHOOK someone explain it to me please 😅

Anon, as I said in the previous ask, I'm not the suitable person to answer questions about the plot and what's really happening. I do, however, have to make one thing perfectly clear because I see a lot of people confused about it, you included: Win is NOT working on Dome's case. The beginning scene of Episode 4 hasn't happened yet! Same with all the previous episodes: all the scenes before the opening titles are from the future. This means that 1) Great and Tyme haven't died yet - or have they? (Episode 1), 2) Tonkla hasn't killed anyone yet (Episode 2), 3) the cops haven't found the second body yet, which is Tonkla's victim (Episode 3) and 4) Win hasn't been given the case for body No2, which leads to him finding out Tonkla's fingertips were on the rock (Episode 4). The phone call we saw at the end of the scene was a distraction - Tonkla did NOT call Win to help him with his brother's funeral then. Win is too nonchalant in the rest of the episode to have had the knowledge of Tonkla's involvement in any sort of serious crime. Seeing Win's supervisor being so demanding of Win to be quick and find out who killed victim No2 suggests they are of high importance. It strengthens the theory that the person Tonkla will kill is Title, after finding out Title killed Dome - another theory which is basically confirmed in the show, as we literally saw Title hit Dome with a rock repeatedly to the head before Great "went back in time/saw the future". And I say it this way because, even though Great says he "sees the future 4 minutes ahead", the show's presentation makes it seem as if he's going back in time 4 minutes in order to prevent stuff from happening. Or, everything Great has achieved with his power is an illusion - he never truly changed anything. In the "Dome is alive" timeline/reality/whatever it is, the only people involved are Great, Tyme, Den and Korn. Title too, since he fought Great after he saved Dome. Now, Korn is interesting, because he's in the middle of the two realities; he found out Dome died in Episode 4, but he's also hanging out with Great who's reality is that Dome survived. I'll be keeping my eyes on him and how the show will utilize this dichotomy. I will also be keeping my eyes on Tonkla, because of his scene in Episode 1 with the cat: that's Tonkla's cat without the collar on, which Tonkla keeps in his drawer. The significance of the scene, to me, is that Tonkla has a role to play in the whole timeline fuckery - which was also proven by the ending scene of Episode 4. By being able to sense his cat's presence and Dome's, he's the only one so far who has shown evidence of being connected to both realities somehow. And the cat is interesting to me, because it was killed YEARS before Great's powers "started" (we don't know that fully yet, the rest of the show will make a case for it being true or not). I'm just rambling at this point but this were important points to make in my opinion. I just can't wait to become even more confused with Episode 5.

I genuinely cannot stop rotting about my Dark DOFP AU I've been thinking about 2 animatic ideas in the past week for it all while writing an over 2K fic at the same time. Send help

"I'm not Starfire" could've been better if...

INTRODUCTION

BOTH parents were involved (I'd like to think Nightwing's the dad)

Both Star and Dick wanted to raise the daughter as a normal kid

But then daughter started showing physical Tamaranean traits I guess? (height, strength, etc etc)

Which could prompt Star to train their daughter in case her powers fully manifest

Dick, reluctant cuz he still wishes for her to grow up like a normal girl, trains her how to yk fight

So now the daughter has this standard she wishes to reach at a certain point in her life...

Time skip, the girl's a teen now and her powers STILL haven't manifested.

Then I guess a worried Starfire gets her magically checked by Raven or someone else (I prefer Raven bc I love her too)

Raven concludes that her powers are blocked by something emotional (ooo self vs self conflict)

Maybe Star and Dick could enroll her in Titans Academy?

SCHOOL ARC OOOOOO

(Note that I haven't read much on Titans Academy, only bits and pieces of the story told to me by my s/o)

Maybe at first she's reluctant to mingle cuz she has no powers

Idk are there any students without powers like her?? :'D

I'd like to think a combat class would be her favorite considering both her parents trained her

SHE'LL BE PROFECIENT IN THE STAFF YEAAAAHHH

Little by little, she gains a few friends and maybe slowly starts to accept the fact it's okay to not have her mom's powers

But deep deeeeeep down she still wishes to have those abilities

Maybe somewhere down the line, the school gets attacked? And she's forced to fight and gets taken down, and using the last of her energy, manages to shoot an energy beam before passing out. (DRAMATIC EFFECT)

She wakes up in the hospital and sees her parents and tells them that she managed to shoot an energy beam. She tries to do it again but nothing's coming out, which frustrates her because she thought she finally got it.

Starfire and Dick comfort her and tell her that they'll continue to help and train her until she gets all her powers.

Obviously, there are some details that I might've missed that have completely escaped my brain. but that's all I can yap about for now. Will I fully flesh this out? Probably not XD buuuut this was fun to type out.
