why do men have this eternal fear of being used for money they don’t have lol

[caspercryptid]

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

[caspercryptid]

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

[caspercryptid]

Mental illness is Off-putting. Trauma and stress make people hard to be around. There are no perfect victims. If your framework for someone under pressure are people who cry photogenically at home in the bathroom or at night when everyone else is asleep and then wake up and act like they're fine then you will fail to recognize it when your coworker who's normally really nice suddenly blows up on someone for leaving forks in the company sink.

Everyone is going through shit. And it doesn't make it okay for them to treat others badly, but it also sometimes makes it difficult for them to recognize that they're treating you badly, like the person on the phone with 9-11 who no longer realizes that he's telling the operator about his day and not answering questions. When your friend of ten years who has a new boyfriend suddenly starts being a massive bitch to you about your weight maybe she's just being a cunt, or maybe she's internalized some bullshit. You don't have to take that, but you Can go "Hey, what the fuck?" And that is often more helpful than you realize. It is easy to assume that someone who does something cruel is acting with intent, but especially in cases where someone's behavior changed in a short span of time, they aren't, any more than the person who is convinced the beanbag chair is going to fix them.

You don't have to give people endless chances. But you should give them at least one chance. Because on your worst week, it's going to be you crying at your friend's birthday party because she ran out of chili before you got to have some, and you're going to want some grace for yourself.

[acertainmoshke]

All of this and also, sometimes you just cannot control your reaction even if it’s harmful or mean. Which also doesn’t make it acceptable to treat people poorly, but it does tie into the give people a second or third chance and communicate before deciding they’re just terrible now

[ilynpilled]

actually how many significant female characters fitting this archetype can u think of? and i mean their arc and role being actually substantial

[belladonnafeli]

Women don’t really get these arcs as much as men, but it does remind me of this quote.

must feel good as fuck to curse a prince for being rude to you while you were larping as an old woman for no reason

Hi Fury,

Just wanted to drop in and say hi! Thank you for always being one of the bright lights in the FF7 random. I feel like it's been easy to get lost in the remake trilogy discourse, and I can always depend on you to give honest, fair, and nuanced critiques on the franchise. Do you have any future works planned on AO3?

wow where are all you nice people coming from? Thank you.

I don't have anything planned for ffvii, no. Fic and art are for communicating, often with a great deal of vulnerability, and I don't know who I'd be trying to communicate with anymore. Seems the whole fandom is on another page about what this story even is, and the creative team at SE certainly is. I spent years trying to find people and make friends through a more og-centric community, and that didn't work out. The friends I had made there wound up shutting me out of that community, and upon reflection, there were problems with it anyway. I don't think any of us were any less self-interested in our own little interpretive slice than anyone else in the fandom.

All in all, it doesn't seem worth it to spend more energy here. My flame has gone out a little. Maybe it will be rekindled in the future. I will write up my impressions of rebirth when I'm done with it though, as I'm playing it now.

Anthropeum

A daily game that challenges our understanding of human cultures. Ten objects. 5,000 years of human history. Guess where and when each artif

An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

Sometimes I think I'm stupid but then I remember I once dated a man who thought the Goo Goo Dolls and Nine Inch Nails were the same band because their singers have similar sounding last names???

[northstareclipse]

and I don't want the world to fuck you like an animal 'cause I don't think that they'd feel you from the inside
