I just realised I completely forgot to show my finished Arthur cosplay so here!!

You can find the process of me making the hat here! Everything including the hat and the materials was purchased second hand and using things I already had (the rope, jeans, journal, neckerchief, etc) so it's a very budget cosplay but I think it turned out well! The total came to about £45, there's receipts here if you're interested <3

She wished to work in the Medical Career afterwards.

actually i'm still thinking about the moral orel finale.

he has a cross on his wall. do you know how much i think about that bc it's a lot.

a lot of stories ((auto)biographical or fictional) centering escape from abusive/fundamentalist christianity result in the lead characters leaving behind christianity entirely. and that makes complete sense! people often grow disillusioned with the associated systems and beliefs, and when it was something used to hurt them or something so inseparable from their abuse that they can't engage with it without hurting, it makes total sense that they would disengage entirely. and sometimes they just figure out that they don't really believe in god/a christian god/etc. a healthy deconstruction process can sometimes look like becoming an atheist or converting to another religion. it's all case by case. (note: i'm sure this happens with other religions as well, i'm just most familiar with christian versions of this phenomenon).

but in orel's case, his faith was one of the few things that actually brought him comfort and joy. he loved god, y'know? genuinely. and he felt loved by god and supported by him when he had no one else. and the abuses he faced were in how the people in his life twisted religion to control others, to run away from themselves, to shield them from others, etc. and often, orel's conflicts with how they acted out christianity come as a direct result of his purer understanding of god/jesus/whatever ("aren't we supposed to be like this/do that?" met with an adult's excuse for their own behavior or the fastest way they could think of to get orel to leave them alone (i.e. orel saying i thought we weren't supposed to lie? and clay saying uhhh it doesn't count if you're lying to yourself)). the little guy played catch with god instead of his dad, like.. his faith was real, and his love was real. and i think it's a good choice to have orel maintain something that was so important to him and such a grounding, comforting force in the midst of. All That Stuff Moralton Was Up To/Put Him Through. being all about jesus was not the problem, in orel's case.

and i know i'm mostly assuming that orel ended up in a healthier, less rigid version of christianity, but i feel like that's something that was hinted at a lot through the series, that that's the direction he'd go. when he meditates during the prayer bee and accepts stephanie's different way to communicate, incorporating elements of buddhism into his faith; when he has his I AM A CHURCH breakdown (removing himself from the institution and realizing he can be like,, the center of his own faith? taking a more individualistic approach? but Truly Going Through It at the same time), his acceptance (...sometimes) of those who are different from him and condemned by the adults of moralton (stephanie (lesbian icon stephanie my beloved), christina (who's like. just a slightly different form of fundie protestant from him), dr chosenberg (the jewish doctor from otherton in holy visage)). his track record on this isn't perfect, but it gets better as orel starts maturing and picking up on what an absolute shitfest moralton is. it's all ways of questioning the things he's been taught, and it makes sense that it would lead to a bigger questioning as he puts those pieces together more. anyway i think part of his growth is weeding out all the lost commandments of his upbringing and focusing on what faith means to him, and what he thinks it should mean. how he wants to see the world and how he wants to treat people and what he thinks is okay and right, and looking to religion for guidance in that, not as like. a way to justify hurting those he's afraid or resentful of, as his role models did.

he's coming to his own conclusions rather than obediently, unquestioningly taking in what others say. but he's still listening to pick out the parts that make sense to him. (edit/note: and it's his compassion and his faith that are the primary motivations for this questioning and revisal process, both of individual cases and, eventually, the final boss that is christianity.) it makes perfect sense as the conclusion to his character arc and it fits the overall approach of the show far better. it's good is what i'm saying.

and i think it's important to show that kind of ending, because that's a pretty common and equally valid result of deconstruction. and i think it cements the show's treatment of christianity as something that's often (and maybe even easily) exploited, but not something inherently bad. something that can be very positive, even. guys he even has a dog he's not afraid of loving anymore. he's not afraid of loving anyone more than jesus and i don't think it's because he loves this dog less than bartholomew (though he was probably far more desperate for healthy affection and companionship when he was younger). i think it's because he figures god would want him to love that dog. he's choosing to believe that god would want him to love and to be happy and to be kind. he's not afraid of loving in the wrong way do you know how cool that is he's taking back control he's taking back something he loves from his abusers im so normal

I've decided the only reason Lloyd, known descendant of dragons, didn't tell this to Egalt, who refuses to train non-dragons, is for the same reason he never mentioned he's the First Spinjitsu Master's grandson. It just never came up. Nobody asked him directly about it. And besides, he's only like, one-fourth dragon, so does it really count? He doesn't look like a dragon, and he has never in his life considered himself a dragon. Mentioning his ancestry to Egalt probably would've just made him look like some hotshot, or make him more annoyed. There's no need to bring up such a silly little fact. He's sure it won't be important later.

yeah i'm gonna say this once

obsession and addiction are two sides of the same coin. hell, two halves of the same side of the same coin

as someone with OCD and with many loved ones and friends with OCD and other related neurodivergencies (yes OCD is a neurodivergency) and mental illnesses, i have been cautious both about the possible germaphobe/thanatophobe Klaus storyline and of the fans' reactions to just the possibility.

first of all, TUA has a habit of taking Klaus' reactions to trauma (addiction, attention seeking, EVERYTHING) and making them to be season long gags instead of treating them seriously. i have been a fierce critic of this the entire show, and am now especially weary.

secondly though, the idea that he would sway into these thought patterns is not at all out of character, or out of psychiatric or neurological sense. addiction is obsession. why do you think folks with OCD have rituals they must do for a moment's relief?

and one's fears and obsessions can overlap and contradict and make no sense to the person or the world.

think of it like this-- every thought is like one note, one beat of music. obsessions are like blaring sirens, constant, loud, unbearable, but also alerting every bone in your body to *fix the problem.* Soothe the pain. Make it quiet.

and when you factor in the fact that the often ignored OCD trait are intrusive thoughts. terrifying, outrageous, involuntary thoughts that shake you to your core, tied to your deepest fears and shames and terrors.

For Klaus, the ghosts were like a tangible portrayal of this cognitive loop folks with these obsessive thought patterns have. I know from the moment I saw how he used music and substances and ANYTHING to block them out, I recognized myself in him, my battle with my intrusive thoughts in the constant fight of overpowering the noise with more noise.

and the thing about OCD, about obsessive disorders, is that they are incredibly smart. the smartest, most emotionally intelligent and aware people have this disorder (not to call myself smart in this meta post lol), so it can twist and flex into whatever iteration causes the most reaction in your brain. it can flip and invert and probably, in fact i can basically guarantee, the switch from fearing the dead and the obsession with distraction and addiction to fearing sickness, harm and death and obession with cleanliness and health feels and sounds entirely logical and sound to klaus in his brain.

that's the thing with how we think, it all makes sense within our heads, even if there's a voice telling us its fucking crazy-- the ill part finds total logic, and the terrified part is just so, so, so relieved to have an inch of solace

"If I just exact perfect and absolute vengeance against Pekka Rollins, then the voice of Jordie will be satisfied and disappear forever" WRONG. Obsessive compulsive disorder.
