Psychotic Blorbo Battle: Leo Tsukinaga (Ensemble Stars) Vs Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

[Vote for who you think is a better psychotic blorbo!]

Propaganda/diagnoses below! May contain spoilers for these medias.

Leo Tsukinaga

Diagnosis: Schizophrenia (Headcanon)

Propaganda: "Has a persistent delusion that he was abducted my aliens, and exhibits disorganized speech and unusual behavior (difficulty communicating, needs help with ADLs, composes on the walls) so he probably meets criteria for schizophrenia. Also, catboy."

Catra

Diagnosis: BPD with psychosis (headcanon)

Propaganda: "criteria met (copy pasted a lot of these): hallucinations, delusions, frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, identity disturbance, impulsivity, recurrent suicidal behaviour, instability due to a marked reactivity of mood, inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger, transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms."

Sofia and Barry would be the best of friends. I just know it.

Both of those motherfuckers can basically read minds theyre so good at reading people. I just KNOW they just stare at people and pick them APART for fun.

Barry'd be such a fucking bad influence on her but its fine cause sometimes you gotta learn to be bitchy if it means you can threaten the pushy yacht club members into tipping well.

If I'm more fun maybe more people will want to be my friends so I will be deciding to show unfiltered symptoms of mental illness

cw cultural appropriation? descriptions of trauma (including CSEM, stalking, psychosis/mental health)

Not sure if it counts for this blog but three of our main protectors are siblings all of which are a creature from local native mythos, we're bodily white (well, we're technically metis (mixed white+indigenous) but we're just at the cutoff so just white ig) and we always get flack when we talk about any of those alters' source.

the reason they all split was because of a traumatic event where our mother was psychotic and we went through "shared psychosis" (never diagnosed, but we were psychotic while she was, had similar delusions, etc) about the creature(s) stalking us and our mother, about one posessing us (which was very likely just one of our alter's attempting to talk to us, she attempted to tell our mother to take us somewhere safer and get help) and about basically being chased out of the area. The event was traumatic in many other ways (specifically our mother selling nudes of us (at the time 14) for gas money) and anyways it all culminated in them all three splitting.

the issue arises when we tell people their origin without any context, they say we're culturally appropriating, but none of the alters want to "change their source" specifically because the trauma endured litwrally made them trauma holders in a specific way that only makes sense to our brain if they stay the same. we try to use language that's respectful (hence us not naming the thing in question, and frequently just saying they're shapeshifters rather than the whole truth) and its so fucking annoying that its one of our top reasons for wishing we weren't a system

that sucks.. we are white ourself so we cant talk for POC people but i feel like.. we really need to remember alters cant control their source, and they cant control why they were made.

[kylo-skywalkerr]

Silly doodle time + some fun little Kylo headcanons

-Even if redeemed, Kylo will keep his first name. He was never comfortable being called Ben due to the expectations that came with it and picked Kylo for himself as a child. His master had nothing to do with it.

-Kylo's pull to the light was strong, but not enough to leave anything of him in the physical world. He's trapped behind some type of barrier.

-His tantrums aren't actually helpful to his mind. Meditation is. Back when he was studying under his uncle, he got quite good at it, only ever feeling in tune with himself after a long session with himself. As time passed, he used that cope less and less, feeling undeserving of the temporary peace it could give him.

-Kylo was never sith, but never desired to be a Jedi either. All he wanted to do was be himself without his family's legacy looming over him. Once he broke free from Han and Leia's image, he lived in the shadow of Vader. As a result, Kylo admires but despises Vader. He craves kinship so hard that he holds on to the mangled mask of another man he had never met. Yet whenever Snoke compares him to Vader, he feels a twinge of anger. Jealousy. In his attempts to paint a line in blood to divide the two, he's only digging himself deeper into Anakin's mistakes.

-Kylo has a soft spot for droids having grown up with R2 and C3PO being considered a part of the family.

-When in Jedi training, he wrote many letters to his parents about his time there and his struggles. Whenever he'd try to send them, he'd stop himself and toss them away.

Monkie kid has got the most. Neurodivergent characters every

[romericas]

been thinking about the tans and physical health and mental health/psychosis lately, like outside of the off-color jokes of "england wasn't at world meetings for a couple decades in the 1800s because he landed himself in Bedlam (multiple times)"

but more so thinking about nations catching "human" diseases and never quite recovering. like American having A Time™️during the 70s and finding out in the 80s that he contracted HIV somewhere along the way and dying slowly from it because he couldn't let Reagan find out that he was getting treatment for it. the mental toll of knowing you're dying and it just chipping away at your health day-by-day until you eventually succumb to it... only to regenerate and have the illness start its cycle all over again. or just in general, dying in gruesome and traumatic ways continuously throughout your existence and only having other nations to talk to about it (some of whom were the direct cause of why you died that way in the first place). can you imagine needing so badly to unpack an experience with a professional and to be met with a chlorpromazine prescription... then a fluphenazine prescription... then thoridazine and slowly working your way through multiple medications before realizing that they just don't believe you and are trying to treat your perceived psychosis instead of helping your work through the fact that there is nothing to stop you from dying painfully multiple times over as every year brings a chance for some new disease or political conflict that you never seem to escape for very long

Psychotic Blorbo Battle: Rena Ryuugu (Higurashi) Vs Keichi Maebara (Higurashi)

[Vote for who you think is a better psychotic blorbo!]

Propaganda/diagnoses below! May contain spoilers for these medias.

Rena Ryuugu

Diagnosis: BPD (Headcanon)

Propaganda:

"I'll be real I'm probably not schizospec but I know schizospec people relate to her."

"Definitely BPD and suffers paranoid delusions"

Keichi Maebara

Diaganosis: Psychosis (canon)

Propaganda:

"He has hallucinations. He is convinced he almost ate a needle (even if the needle never existed). When his friends Rena and Mion try to write something on his shirt with a pen, he doesn't see a pen but a syringe. He also has formication (the feeling of bugs crawling under his skin). He is paranoid. He is convinced that he is the target of a conspiracy and that the entire village wants to eliminate him. Even when his friends try to take care of him and cheer him up, he is convinced they are trying to kill him. I think it counts as delusion."

//if i had a sp multi, it would consist entirely of characters nobody gives a shit about, like ned, thomas (le petit tourette), and GOD HIMSELF.

[rockingthegraveyard]

thinkin real hard about jason hallucinating when his stress levels are high

[revvnant]

were it not for the everything i need to get done right now i would drop the most nuclear meta about how william views parenting michael.

[c0nsumere]

also just a note that i will delve deeper into later here but s.hauna is mentally ill and experiences psychosis and psychotic episodes. i really like how this individual worded it here and will be interpreting that into my writing of shauna as well. she and l.ottie both experience psychosis, but s.hauna sees the way l.ottie was treated both in the woods and when they got out, so she constantly downplays her hallucinations, derealization, and so on, but they're there. it's not painted in a supernatural lighting as l.ottie's is because s.hauna 1) doesn't interpret it as such, and 2) they're not ... psychosis is not supernatural. it's in fact a very human experience.
