I can honestly say there's nothing less sexy than the idea of fucking a coworker when you work in an OR

I know this is not a popular opinion because I too am aware of popular media, but Jesus Mary and also Joseph, there is nothing sexy about being there when a bunch of badly socialized people in high stress situations become totally emotionally unscrewed. There's nothing sexy about covering ass for a bunch of workshy dipshits who are just jobbing their way through their varying dissociative states. There's nothing sexy about the meanest girls who ever meangirled bitching you out day in and day out because you're asking them to please hold just a single piece of information in their head.

Like thanks, but I don't need you near my genitals, you're fucking me on a daily basis

tubbo saying that dream’s brain has been, for lack of better phrasing, miss-wired from being stuck in a sphere of hate for four years is so accurate!

you see it today in people falling into alt-right pipelines for being called hated on relentlessly, mainly in a lot of cishet white men. they tend to follow people who see them being hated and support them and tell them they’ve done no wrong. it’s a huge echo chamber, and they tend to end up hating the other people back. this is just an example, (i haven’t seen dreams full VOD), and i’m not claiming that he is a trumpie.

being as online as dream has been, while also being wildly popular, is bound to make him see things differently. i’m not saying it’s right, i’m saying it makes sense.

think about it. i’ve been surrounded with people who also read fanfic for my whole life, and when i do something that isn’t perceived as normal it’s generally because of people i hang around, and content i interact with. it’s how people exist and grow.

he should however take the time to learn to see things from other peoples perspectives—despite his anger and his own emotions. he should learn how to step back and recollect before responding with pure emotion and anger.

he is trying to make people see his whole point while bringing evidence and bringing up old/past issues to make it more “sympathetic” in his eyes. that’s just defensive. and yeah, he has been able to prove certain things, or say that things are incorrect and be correct. he is good at disproving bad claims about him. (the truth video, and proving that he is not a pedo. there has been so much back and forth between what actually happened there i am not certain of anything, but for the purpose of hearing him out im going to say he was able to beat the allegation)

but, he has not disproven that he is just an asshole.

he has every opinion to be upset and distraught about people calling him a pedo and all of these others things when generally the people around him and the whole “the truth” video. he has disproven that.

but, he just sounds like an asshole for not being able to see from other perspective, and with the way he acts (very volatile) people aren’t going to want to listen to him. with him constantly deleting tweets and messages and everything! it’s a way of hiding what he has done.

i just don’t see what he wants to achieve here, or what he is trying to do. state your shit, apologize for what you have done, and do better. i’m trying to hear him out, and not be unbiased here. but wow, a lot of this is just. crazy to me, the things he is saying and the actions he has taken are arguably bad. say sorry, and move on.

anyway, idk anything. all of this should’ve been handled behind the scenes from the start, from 2020.

watched a (pirated) mr. birchum episode out of curiosity and in it the asshole conservative protagonist has a homoerotic daydream about the other teacher who's a stand in for the ""woke left"" that he hates, which is the opener for the episode and is also never referred to again, gets his sleeve caught in a machine in his woodshop at work and spends days contemplating his life and regrets while he's trapped (or so he thinks). this montage includes how he met his current wife who he doesn't respect and who isn't honest with him (the b-plot expands on this), how his ex-partner left him after coming out as a lesbian and was repulsed after he tried to persuade her to stay with him, reasoning that her being queer meant they could just share a girlfriend now (that was not what it meant), and culminating in a marlboro man-esque image of commercialized rugged usamerican masculinity telling him to chew his own arm off to escape, before one of his students comes along and frees him by just cutting off his sleeve. all that and he thought to chew his own arm off before he considered just tearing his sleeve. and it's all played as a comedy. fever dream episode

i know ive made jokes about it before but being serious for a second. daniel's willingness to accept arthur's objectively batshit confession also just. gets me right in the fucking heart, man. because, like.

yeah. of course he does.

seven is a Big Number, but daniel's never met any of those other people. they don't actually mean anything to him, they obviously weigh on arthur but they're stories he doesn't know and doesn't really care to. they're just, accounting. they're a bunch of guttering candles in the face of the fucking solar flare that is The Reason daniel has to hate arthur. what the fuck does he care about a bunch of people he's never met, that died some reactionary death in self-defense or however arthur wants to justify it? when from daniel's pov arthur's already stolen two of the most important people in his world away from him. everything left of his family, his blood, for no defensible reason. out of nothing but self-absorbed youthful stupidity.

and he's already decided that isn't enough to drive them apart permanently.

so sure, fuck it, seven people. you probably had your reasons. i've already decided to move past worse. add them to the fucking list, or whatever.

because, y'know. he can't lose another person.

wait I'm realising with the way he squatted in front of her this is a pre-planned move that they have definitely done several times before

I’ve started the episode and my first update is that Ludinus is the WORST

“A guy”.

Sorry Doumeki you are just some guy now.

Though actually since this is Watanuki we're talking about, "A guy" is probably the kinder version of of how he phrased it when he was practicing this speech to himself.

Oho it’s all starting to click into place. She hates the taste of her own food because she hates something about herself that she can taste through her own cooking. Still debating whether it's something truly horrible or if she really just doesn't like herself.

Hear me out I do think a therapy session with Kinger, if Kinger could reach behind his obviously asshole mask that he’s worked up and near completely identified with atp likely to protect himself, would do Jax wonders.

I know on the outside from a civvie perspective, it's all "doctors work with nurses work with doctors" but I can tell you straight the fuck away right now I can name you like 3 nurses who can point out which instrument is called a "double action rongeur" and maybe 1 who can tell you what it's used for. I can't think of any who could tell you what order it should appear in a discectomy, if it does at all.

(I'm just saying nobody, not even the original podcast, thought to interview the techs who worked with this man. I can tell you right now when we have had bad technical surgeons, it is every tech shit talking them and writing them up for shit. If a nurse is doing it, it's bc you have a tech who doesn't know where the safety report hyperlink lives)

You know outfitting death eaters as the wizarding kkk was a design choice that we don’t talk enough about because they stopped that pointy hood design after this movie.

a scenario where isaness are dating and isagi idly wonders what ness sees in him until he sees an old video of kaiser and has a sudden, uncomfortable realization about ness' taste in men. and then buries it under a thousand layers of tar

Dongfang Qingcang insisting that he is incapable of feeling any emotions yet frequently displaying various forms of anger is peak Man Behavior. 🙄

[glitchfang]

like. i cant get enough of how realistic this episode is about emotional abuse. “this is exactly what chimchar wants.” and chimchar agreeing because its literally been conditioned to accept this treatment??? and we see later on that chimchar is uncomfortable and not used to receiving positive reinforcement and expects to be treated like dogshit when ash catches it???? who in the writers department popped off with this one
