#what is your duality?

I lost the post I was gonna reblog this from, so:
you and the hat man
oh boy you're fighting demons aren't you. it's like you're in a constant staring competition with something that's always in the peripheral. what the fuck. (at least, that's how people who don't know you would react). at this point you've probably gotten pretty familiar with the hat man. he's a reliable kind of guy. keeps to himself, sure, but you can trust him to be there. maybe a haunting isn't too bad if it's never left your side. you can only imagine what it will be like when he's not there any more.
...don't you love when these just go for your throat? Because this is dead on, as much as I had hoped for some kind of dialectic that, if balanced, would create some equilibrium, Temperance instead of Two of Swords, which isn't really feasible when one half of the equation (you, i.e. me) is inherently unbalanced.
It's like when you accidentally share the zoom window and there's an infinite recursion of you, whatever you're doing at the time, smaller and smaller. No matter how many times you split the window, you're still in there, making less and less sense. Presumably, small enough up in the corner, there's an eight bit you. There's a you who's been reduced to a single pixel, but still trapped in the same context.
(Or does the water get him instead? Nobody knows, particle man.)
The hat man probably isn't thrilled about the situation either. Being on the peripheral of the context is still within the context. Both of us are more defined by the negative space we occupy in said context than any actual existence.
I haven't even been drinking tonight. I thought about it, but then I thought, nah, I'll just have a sinus headache tomorrow, and the weather's been playing merry hell with them already.
There's a lot going on at the moment. And I think I'm much lonelier about it than I realized.
Shame the hat man doesn't do hugs, I guess.
#uquiz#unrelated to fandom#what is your duality?#you and the hat man#and a bunch of existential whining from me which is frankly embarrassing from someone sober#i genuinely don't know if i want to be the signal or the noise

some of the right words
#akia art#olba#baxter ward#olba mc#maggie fighting for her life (colorized)#girl went into step 3 a casual dater and it took all of two (2) moments for her to accept she was screwed#doubly so bc it was supposed to be seasonal 🤣 it's such a fun premise for how it engages the mc's complexities#i wonder how long it took baxter to fall on his ass tbh#i feel like he was self-aware enough to know it was happening but there had to have been an element of frog in boiling water to it#what w all that 19 yo emotional constipation LMAO#and the writing's preoccupation w dualities#the recoil of refusing to perceive until perceiving happens beyond your control must be insane#anyway i was also fighting for my life trying to draw a mouth kiss and that's why i've avoided them until now#tell me why it's giving the slobbery make out meme 😭🤣

#Yeahh i’m workng on a mickbell & kabru party analysis oops#I’d bleed for anything if it held me the right way. Even teeth#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#Mickbell tomas#kuro#mickuro#mickrin#It’s on topic in my heart#The red means I love you…#The duality between the care & devotion and the hurt & isolation is really what gets to me#Traumabonded kittens highkey#Tw#cw#cw abuse#tw abuse#Web weaving#web weave#webweaving#I hit 30 pics :( would have added more if i could#Idk even anymore… Pls tell me you see the vision#Mick obvi loves Kuro a lot but this was meant to focus on the unhealthy side if that wasn’t obvious. Abuse tactic of isolation etc etc#People always leave. doesn’t matter how or why but his parents his sister everyone he’s never enough to stay#and that’s why he thinks he has to trick Kuro into thinking Mickbell’s the whole world or he’ll discover that there’s more out there.#Stuff that’s worth leaving him for. He has to make the world scary and unknown and not pay him and not let him have connections#That’s why he doesn’t want people to have a choice!! Either Mickbell doesn’t care about you or he’ll make sure you can never be without him#and there being a third option/outcome in this freaks him out!!!#Some of these should be called ‘No Title’ instead but I have bad academic crediting etiquette this looks cooler sorry#He’s scared of course he bites. There’s only throwing bones when feeding a stray. So bare your teeth and chew me up#Everything he’s ever loved has teeth marks

u kno i just started a new play through and when u first meet gale he does the slow blink that cats do when they trust u and he spent a whole year with only a cat as company …. hoping these r connected…. he’s so babygirl
you are so right, anon!
also let's face it, tara at some point probably gave him unsolicited dating advice. like, this is who we're talking about here:
we know she snoops too:
Tara the Tressym: However, I will not press you further. Your private correspondence is just that, technically. What kind of companion would I be were I to sneak a peek? NodeContext: A little telling, like she plans to read it [the letter] later
and:
Tara the Tressym: I won't pry for specifics, Mr Dekarios. Not when I can sneak a peek at your letter while you sleep.
#i can also see her be like the duality of man meme where it's like#tara without fail after every date: mr dekarios! how were they? have you tried blinking at them very slowly? will it be a spring wedding?#also tara sharpening her claws: what are your intentions with my adopted wizard son?#tara is the nosy overbearing mother to morena's more laid back approach#gale dekarios#tara the tressym#ch: tara the tressym#ch: gale dekarios#vg: baldur's gate 3#series: baldur's gate#text: asks#meta: mybg3#sort of lol

#lifesteal spoilers#like oh my god is this agonizing#dualities devotions team awesome#the callbacks just kept HAPPENING#please stay silly ro please#like login and die to a warden while zam streaming and spend the rest of the stream distracting him from his Lore by being . roshambo .#thinking abt s4 makes me so unbelievably sad bro#s5 too tbh but like its different#s4 devastates me bc of team awesome#s5 devastates me bc of spacewaffles#both make me sad thinking abt ro but he in general makes me sad bc hes a terribly lonely character#which is why i want him to play the damn server w jumper and rek#like please stop ruining your own life for once im begging u#just do like one thing w jumper and/or rek#just one#its all i ask#or fuck it idc just go back to mapicc like u always do just dont have another season w an underlying theme of loneliness#...more than his newest video already has him isolating himself 😭#like jumper cares for ro so very much it hurts my heart#i cant help but rly rly think that even if subconciously#she is seeing what she could never have w vi in ro#like what happened w vi Changed Her and like all she wants is whats best for rek and ro#and to be able to be w them as HER teammates

im not necessarily sure if these things are connected so this is more of an observation than any kind of theory but i do think its interesting to ponder these two contrasting situations where the yj adults talk in hushed tones about “it” - one is nat and lottie of course talking about “it” as a darkness, a malicious presence/entity, something larger than them that’s also inside of them, something they brought back with them but that would have been better left in the wilderness. and the other is taissa and shauna talking about a different “it”, a feeling of rightness, and a feeling of belonging with someone, something that made them feel whole, and that they were never able to find again after the wilderness.
#the duality of the wilderness... you will be the freest you have ever been in your life#but you will also experience a darkness that you'll never be able to shake off for the rest of your life#is it worth the price you paid... and more importantly what would you do to get that feeling of freedom back?#yellowjackets

You know what’s impressive? (As someone outside the law enforcement circles, more of an “outsider looking in”)
It’s 25 year old Matsuda Touta being invited to attend an ICPO conference with Yagami Soichiro, Police Investigation Bureau Chief
Like???
Sure, it was his first meeting at the start of the series, but do you know what I was doing at 25 years old? Not going to INTERPOL, aka International Criminal Police Investigation, conferences with the Chief of my department, that’s for sure
What a guy
#where can I find a man like him?#golden retriever badass cop#matsuda touta#touta matsuda#hella hard worker#loyal#dedicated#love of my life?#can see both sides of the conflict#and isn’t blinded by his own biases#just wants to do what’s right#a little reckless but doing his best#balls of steel for that handstand on a balcony#helping to bring down the mafia? like?#idol manager#to#Misa Amane#I mean?? the duality??#a freaking sharp shooter#he just gotta… stay away from Sayu#she’s a tad young and your boss’ daughter#death note#soichiro yagami#yagami soichiro#ICPO#Interpol#light yagami#yagami light#sayu yagami#yagami sayu

The incredible experience of always liking a tad song because it sounded great and the lyrics you could catch sounded emotional and cute and then actually reading the lyrics and taking massive emotional damage understanding what the song is actually about
10/10 would recommend
#the amazing devil#tad#this is about chords#holy hell that hit so close to home#the last verse is so powerful and beautiful#what a beautiful way of acknowledging trauma but also the duality of hating your parents for it while also still loving them#yet anothrr banger by tad

honestly the season 2 zhaan treatment is kinda odd in general. not Bad just. there are three zhaan-centric episodes in a row, picture of you will, home on the remains, (sort of) and dream a little dream. they all kiiinda suck, and they all characterise her in a different way to the last. and then there are a few other episodes she’s barely in at all like out of their minds immediately after those three. am i making sense
#again i don’t think any of it is Bad. even the way her character drastically shifts in those three episodes#it shows her duality - her complicity. i like it#there’s just. Something . that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. under-utilised potential for Something More. i cant articulate it#just kinda feels like the writers don’t know what to do with her and they’re overcompensating in odd ways#idk. idk#farscape#your daily dose of idiocy

thinking about. narukami arashi. in all her messy self. augh...
#i love her sm and its like way beyond the queen girlboss thing#i have yet to read much of her in the !! stories cuz im catching up slowly but#at least in what ive read so far. shes such a wonderful character. full of duality#shes caring shes distant shes cute and dainty she could beat your ass shes confident shes insecure shes collected shes impulsive#she wants to be loved and love as well but she knows it's painful to chase after someone... to lose people... its painful and scary...#i love how she insists on being there for mika bc she already lost someone to her self centeredness. she will reach out.#she will not allow herself to miss her friends' pain again#but also she keeps her distance... leo had to literally shake her pain out of her...#in ! even though eeeveryone is mean and transphobic she keeps smiling and doesnt push the issue#even tho it hurts her sm to be constantly invalidated...#(yes ik its a good bit of retcon shut up)#even though shes so confident in herself. she still cowers at the thought of being rejected and ostricized.#tbh i love knights in general. the overarching theme of “individualists”#but theyre all just. deeply lonely and unloved people#theyre sticking close and playing family but theyre all terrified deep down its all a house of cards...#i need to read the model trio lookback. i need little nacchan and the birth of her insane crush on the teacher guy.#(also tbh i stand by nacchan being thw most normal knights member. even her crush is Just Girlhood Things)#(like cmon who didnt know a girl who had a delusional crush on someone older. i knew like 10 girls like that#its only the child model part that makes her unusual. between a rich nobleson a yandere tsundere model#a genious lunatic composer a vampire chuunibyou guy and a child model tgirl. whos the most normal)#enstars#arashi narukami

two hours ago had an existential crisis moment in a bath
ten minutes ago it started raining like crazy, just absolutely pouring at 10pm so i ran outside and just enjoyed getting soaked in seconds. it was warm and made me feel alive so yaknow.. sometimes you truly gotta will yourself to enjoy the little things
#life#hormones be wildin but also idk.. there are moments when the brain goes 'why am i here? what am i supposed to do with my life?'#and then you experience moments like.. just standing in the summer rain getting absolutely blasted and it's like YEP i feel alive#for moments like this babeyyyyy sometimes it's like the weight on your shoulders the never-ending questions#and sometimes.. it ain't that deep#the duality of a woman#the evanescence-blasting emo vs. 'i'm so random eks dee' girlie i guess
