Total institutions are defined in this reader not as a separate class of social establishments that exercise complete or nearly complete control over their population, but rather as specific institutions which exhibit to an intense degree certain characteristics found in all institutions. The issue therefore is not which institutions are total and which are not, but rather how much totality does each of our institutions display? Representing an important new approach to problems of social control, this book concentrates on dynamics-how institutions change in the extent or nature of their totality over time and how they display totality in different ways-rather than the mere enumeration of common traits.

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl found dead in a hidden room.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan xichen#jin guangyao#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#qin su#EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot#and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white#JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

Memories
Old man Fiddlestan, my beloved-and what's this? It could be semi-canon compliant :O ?!?! Woof- this is one of the saddest things I have ever written. I know some of you gremlins (affectionate) love that sort of thing, but I don't. I like really really don't. This is my comfort ship, so I don't even know where this came from other than trying to figure out how they *could* work in canon. Truthfully though, I prefer my Fiddlestan heavy on the comfort when it comes to the "hurt/comfort" genre. This is my only “angsty” (i.e. no immediate happy ending) Notes-app fics, so don't get used to this level of sad from me lol.
“Stan?” an oddly familiar voice called. Mr. Mystery, Stan Pines, glanced up from the flyers he was organizing and found that Old Man McGucket stood in the doorway of his front door. The last tour of the day had just left, it was dinnertime, and he was exhausted. Stan rolled his eyes as he unfurled his tie, wishing Soos was still there to escort the crazy old man off his property. No matter what he did, the old hillbilly always managed to find his way back to the Shack. “Sweet Moses McSuckit, what are you doing in here? Shoo, scat, or whateva will get rid of ya.” Hearing no movement, he looked at the man again and found he was standing erect. His blue eyes were the clearest he had seen them in no less than a decade.
Wait, what did he call- oh. Oh no.
“Stan…ley? Did I…did I do somethin’ wrong?” the other man asked, his hands twisted in knots in front of him. Memories flashed through Stan’s mind; Ford falling through the portal, Fiddleford finding him passed out in the lab, working together to bring Ford home again…being together. Being happy. They had been happy, if just for a little while, hadn’t they?
Then there was the cult, and his discovery of the damn memory gun that had finally ruined everything they ever built. He took a hesitant step forward, a thousand thoughts roaring in his mind at once. “Fidds? Wha-what do you remember?” A bandaged hand snaked up and rubbed over the faded scar on the side of his head “I…don’t rightly know. Did we…I think we had a fight? I just woke up in the…in the dump. N’ I don’t have any shoes. Do ya know why my arm is in a cast?” Fiddleford looked so lost.
Stan knew in his heart that all of this was fleeting- “clarity” would hit Fiddleford every few years after he had finally wiped his mind of himself. Almost like his brain was trying to jumpstart itself back together. The first time they thought it was a miracle but…it didn’t last. It just started a trend that would follow them both for the next almost thirty years. Fiddleford would seemingly “wake up” and be lucid for a few weeks in the beginning, then eventually only a matter of days. It had been so long since the last time that Stan would wager, they only had maybe a few hours together if he was lucky.
The last time Fiddleford was himself…they had fought. Stanley thought he had figured the only way Fiddleford could stay; he needed to remember. Remember everything he had ever forgotten. At the time, Fiddleford had been unwilling to try. He didn’t think he could handle it; he knew he had forgotten what he had for a reason.
Stanley had gotten as close to begging as he ever had in his life since surviving Tijuanna, and when it had no effect…Stanley had told Fiddleford to leave and never come back. He had left that night, and by the next day he had faded away again. After a while, Stan thought his last words had been the final nail in the coffin that was Fiddleford’s mind. He carried that weight along with every other mistake he had ever made. But here he was. Fiddleford. His Fiddleford.
He took a deep breath before he opened his arms up. “Hey, don’t worry, it doesn’t matter. I’m right here.” Fiddleford rushed through the doorway, melting into Stanley’s open arms. “I went away again, didn’t I?” Stan could feel Fiddleford’s tears soaking into his chest, his own whispering at the edges of his eyes. Yes, and you will leave again. You will leave me and I will be alone all over again, you fucking asshole. “Hey cowboy, didn’t I just say not t’ worry about any a’ that? You’re here now, n' that’s what matters. You’re…you’re home.” A haggard laugh vibrated through the smaller man’s chest into Stanley’s own. “I know I keep tellin’ ya, tellin’ me not t’ worry is like” “…tellin’ a fish t’ stop swimmin’; I know Fidds, I know.” Fuck was really the only conscious thought that went through his head as he held his one-time lover. He couldn’t believe he was doing this, again.
Fiddleford looked up, eyes wide and searching Stan’s face. “How long do ya think we have?” Stan shook his head, unwilling to lie even if it eventually wouldn’t matter because he wouldn’t remember. You’ve always been the only person I couldn’t lie to. “I dunno, it’s been…a while. Probably not very long.” Fiddleford closed his eyes before he said “I need ya t’ know somethin’, Stanley.” Stan started to shake his head. “Fidds, you don’t have t-” The look on the other man’s face shut Stan right up-he had always had that ability. Stan wished he didn’t miss it as much as he did. “I need ya to know that even when I’m not here…I miss you. The part of me that’s somewhere in here-” A weathered hand tapped the side of his head to emphasize his point “ misses you. I’m just so sorry, Stanley. Sorry that I’m a coward. I’m sorry that I’m not strong enough to be here all the time…but I’ll never stop tryin’. I’ll always try n’ come home to ya.”
Stan thought of the thousands of times he had chased Old Man McGucket, the neat little character that Stan had to compartmentalize his Fiddleford into when he wasn’t himself, out of the Shack. How many times he had found him curled up like a cat on the back porch. How every time they “met”, McGucket would say how nice Stan was or how good he felt to be around him “for some reason.” How many odds and ends McGucket would gift Stan from the dump for exhibits at the Mystery Shack with a large smile and nothing substantial behind his eyes.
It would be so much easier if he would stop trying to come back. Maybe the hole in Stan’s heart the size of the sweet, certifiably insane man would scab over. How many times had Stanley mourned him? How many times was he willing to hurt himself? They were now nearing their sixties, how long was he really willing to do this song and dance?
What’s one more time? he softly thought, his hand coming up to tenderly cup the grizzled face of Fiddleford Hadron McGucket. Mad scientist, friend, and unfortunately for them both…the love of his life.
“I miss you too, Fidds.”
#bbuzz28#my writing#fiddlestan#stanley pines#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#if anyone ever wants to expand on this idea please feel free to-bc I think its an interesting concept overall#I simply do not have the heart to write something so very sad LOL#also something I couldn't think of how to do justice was Tate in all of this#because like-Tate knows *something* is between his father and Stan#I had a line that was like 'The wide berth he gave Tate McGucket whenever they were in the same vicinity. The weight of similar eyes#to his father never leaving him whenever they were found to be in the same place always feeling heavy.'#but I couldn't figure out how to make it really fit in a quick lil one shot#and Tate deserves more than that#bc don't forget Tate is *literally* the only thing that holds Fidds mind together at any given time in any just about any timeline :')#but yeah the idea of canon Fiddlestan is actually incredibly sad bc either its this or Fidds wiped Stan's memory of him#which I recognize *is* a trope...but that just makes me so v sad.#I know people explore fiction in ways to help them feel bigger feelings- but I just want them to be happy#maybe that's naive but its my truth#alright-that's enough yapping in the tags#again if anyone wants to expand on this feel free and send me a link :)

favourite thing: his new habit of saying uhuh/mhm and also this










#the first time he did it in unmortricken i was like Fuck Yes and little did i know he would just keep doing it the whole time#DESPERATELY hoping they keep both of these things. i Love when characters have tiny little habits sprinkled in their actions#to me these things kinda sorta symbolise him no longer being afraid to really be himself#like he no longer has to hide certain things about himself that inside of the cfc wouldve made him appear ‘suspicious’#since he IS like so much different than any other morty ever#also barely related but like. em is fundamentally such a good character bc everytime we see him he’s feeling something different#in his first appearance he was cold and distant because at the time he was new to being free and was strictly focused on his goal and wasn’#even sure if it would work#in his second appearance he seemed hopeful and honest both of these things just being a trap to get the people of the citadel to trust him#and his old colder self unfurling near the end after he successfully becomes president#in his third appearance he seems giddy almost. he’s constantly giggling before and after sentences and he’s super eager to just Get The Hel#Out. and also to reveal the truth to morty prime. make it so that he doesn’t have to be the one to shoulder everything anymore.#and this fourth appearance. apart from a few little details he really just seems happy and comfortable. the entire episode he was just doin#whatever he wanted and nobody got in his way at all. and i could not be happier#normal about this character!#rick and morty#evil morty#rick and morty spoilers#odiespeak

Severance S1E08 "What's for Dinner?" × Severance S2E09 "The After Hours"
(Please let this mean something) (Milchick crash out + betrayal of Lumon soon, please)
#Severance#Mark Scout#Harmony Cobel#Mr Milchick#<333#Mine#Again I guess#I haven't been able to stop thinking about this#Never let a Severance fan who's been watching reaction after reaction since they got into the show say Anything#They'll start throwing unasked-for parallels at you#Anyway here's to Milchick taking a similar path to Cobel#(Leaving Lumon after realizing they're not valued and have been being blatantly disrespected by the corporation)#Tfw all it takes is for somebody to put into words how “work's just work” for me to internalize it and realize I've been dealt a shitty han#Milchick we're getting you outta there. Trust 🙏#Their reactions in these scenes make me so damn sad#Like this basic truth being a Realization/hitting them so hard just rlly drives home the fact that it hadn't crossed their minds#Or rather it was never a conscious thought#likely b/c they've been So indoctrinated for So long#to the point where there was never even a Chance to consider that this work Shouldn't be their entire Lives#They likely didn't even think about their lives as being engulfed by their work because this was just The Way It Is for them#Something-something “The surest way to tame a prisoner is to let him believe he's free.”#If that makes any sense#Does that make sense to anybody else#Idk how to express it to the degree I want to but#Yea

In a Kaeya mood lately because of @chaoticsnowflake-ao3 's Kaeya-themed whumptober.
Does Kaeya know the Traveler knows about his fight with Diluc, him being sent as a spy, etc?
Because we the audience have known that since 1.0 from his and Diluc's character stories. But did Kaeya ever tell the Traveler?
Traveler read his hidden notes during Hidden Strife. But does he know that?
I'm sure he expected us to know about Khaenri'ah pretty early on; he and his spy network are probably aware of us meeting Dain at Angel's Share of all places.
And of course in the 3.5 Caribert quest the Traveler is sitting with them when it's casually revealed an Alberich founded the Abyss Order.
Anyway what I'm getting at it a fic where Kaeya, who values the Traveler's friendship and worry what they've come to think of him without having been directly told anything, has some sort of breakdown and anxiously confesses to the Traveler. Only for them to calmly say they knew the whole time and spend the rest of the fic comforting Kaeya.
#I want him to know he's loved by those he holds dear#because without being explicitly told otherwise he's inclined to believe that most people will abandon him when they find out the truth#feel free to run with this idea and make fics of your own!#the more the merrier#genshin#原神#mondstadt#kaeya genshin#kaeya#kaeya alberich#genshin impact kaeya#genshin kaeya#ragbros#diluc ragnvindr#genshin diluc#the traveler#lumine#aether#genshin traveler#genshin impact

when I start talking about DRC, Palestine, feminism, how porn is rotting our generation’s brains, intersectional feminism, internally debating on kink culture, the place of religions in society, patriarchy and its effects on women, some men’s fantasies towards anything or anyone that reminds them of children and/or childlike aspects, the amount of violence on women and how people expect from us to accept it, and suddenly someone tells me "we" don’t care or "let people live-" like… just shut up already.

IF IT (the fabricated nature of the reality you’ve been sucked into/the creeping realization you should be somewhere and someone much worse) SUCKS, HIT DA BRICKS!!
#nene trying to run from fantasy until they reach her reality together#vs mitsuba suggesting they run from the reality he knows they should be in…. even if he doesn’t think it’ll work in the end#and hanako pretending not to remember. to have been fictional from the start. in an effort to keep nene alive#vs kou looking away from what he knows is probably the truth#bc mitsuba’s alive! his mom’s alive! his life as an exorcist is a little dangerous sometimes but he’s ok. he has free time after school to#help with the school festival and see his friends and make new ones#ok the differences in how these realities are treated in the narrative and the character’s reactions to them are so interesting <3#shijima’s painting is just that - a preserved piece of artwork#a kind existence but a shallow one - especially for nene who would be imprisoned there#but the clock keeper’s world! that’s reality babey!#the sun isn’t just yellow paint. you could fall right through the clouds#mitsuba gets to live and kou gets to be there with him and nene gets to grow up!! like amane did!! until those hopes fall through#it’s enough to say maybe there’s a world out there where we could be sort of happy and sort of safe and where we could grow old.#but it’s not this one. and even if it was it’s not where we belong#but no wonder that nene wanted to stay! and that kou didn’t want to remember! and that mitsuba was ready to run from what he knew was an#inevitable truth!!#idk the way jshk discusses reality is so interesting to meee like functionally shijima’s painting is reality when you’re in there#the difference between that and the reality the clock keepers make by changing the timeline is that you know one is ‘fake’#once you know the painting is fake you can’t stay. but once you know don’t belong in the clock keeper’s reality you can’t stay there either#all you have is your own. good and bad it’s yours nonetheless and you have to live there#sorry for all the tags I just caught up and love to yap <3#tbhk#toilet bound hanako kun#tbhk manga spoilers#jshk#jibaku shounen hanako kun#yashiro nene#mitsuba sousuke#kou minamoto#tbhk hanako

before anybody starts clutching their pearls again, remember that Luigi is just a guy and that y'all should stop projecting y'all's perfectionism on him because he's not perfect, he's an incredibly flawed human being like all of us and that's perfectly okay
#i don't know how many more disclaimers i'd have to give that people might find out some unsavory truths about him#that's okay y'know it shouldn't stop you from supporting him#he still deserves the presumption of innocence#he still deserves a fair trial#he still deserves to walk free regardless of what the prosecution makes you believe#oh also another reminder: if you clutch your pearls too tight you might just choke yourself so beware#luigi mangione#free luigi

In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance. | The regime’s propaganda spokespeople have allegedly stated that her actions reveal a “severe mental disorder” & that she will be “treated” at a mental hospital for this. As we know, the regime commits its crimes in the shadows so we must keep a light on her case to protect her. -Elica Le Bon/Daughter of Iran

those trinkets from his beau really stand out in his world
#spider man: across the spider verse#spider punk#spider noir#hobie brown#noirpunk#inspired by my friend who makes and gives away patches like free hugs#noir loves them. bit hard to explain to his completely monochrome universe though#i think punk is a derogatory term in the 1930s?? but it’s ok noir knows the truth#the splashes of color on this grayscale man with zero facial features.. priceless#his favorite other than the waistcoat pin is the rainbow#not because he understands literally any of the colors though
