INTRO BLOG FOR MARK BECAUSE HE'S COMPLICATED AND NEEDS ONE

Alter rant blog and roleplay blog

First of all DOUBLES ARE OKAY / ENCOURAGED

SO. HE'S GONNA USE TWO THINGS

THE FIRST ONE IS FOR MARK ONLY. HE'LL USE IT WHEN HE NEEDS TO RANT OR TALK IR JUST BE HIMSELF I GUESS 😭😭

AND

SO. THIS IS COMPLICATED. IM A DIFFERENT ALTER AND I MIGHT USE THIS FOR ROLEPLAY. I FEEL LIKE MARK DOESN'T MIND ROLEPALY AND ALSO ENJOYS IT SO HE MIGHT USE THE SECOND ONE TOO.

He's also a mental gay man fresh out of a divorce (mentally) so iwc 💔

my magnum opus

[meeple-deeple]

“You never listen to me”

Doesn’t it just suck when you try to tell an addicted loved one how their actions affect you but they’re genuinely so out of it that they just laugh at your tears and completely tune you out

^ speaking from experience

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

[charlesoberonn]

To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

[charlesoberonn]

The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.

BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.

The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.

I think this model is the best one for several reasons:

It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups

It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.

It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

[charlesoberonn]

This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.

#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of

yah that goes in the post

[charlesoberonn]

The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.

[forgotn1]

It’s important to note that almost every sect of evangelical christianity in the US today fails the BITE Model.

This was the post that lead to breaking my JW mindset. Been a while since I seen it.

I’m glad I could help in your deconstruction, if only a little bit. I wish you all the luck in your journey moving forward.

[charlesoberonn]

It’s tricky with parenting, because parents have to control their children’s lives to start with, since newborns are incapable of taking care of themselves.

A healthy parent will gradually relinquish control as their child grows and becomes more capable. And even while they’re in charge, they will treat their child with honesty and transparency and respect. They’ll prepare their child for independence, giving them the tools they need to live their own life.

A culty, abusive parent will go far beyond the level of control that their role requires. They will use manipulation and undue influence, taking advantage of their child’s naivete and malleable mind for the parent’s own benefit and agenda. They will continue to exercise this control well into their child’s adulthood, possibly their whole life.

Mark getting to experience simple childhood things with wallter because he never got to with his family

Themed Bubble baths, bedtime stories and making flower crowns in the backyard

Being able to curl into the embrace of another and knowing they’ll be there to protect you from everything that scares you at night

to show the stupidest and messiest version of yourself and knowing you’ll be loved regardless

An unconditional love I’d say

[silly-stings]

Strawpage req!

[neontime]

mark au design, he HAS to be a fat man

[yeuc-c]

do you think Wallter could have PICA? As in craving things other than wet cement, like rocks, concrete powder, cinder blocks, drywall etc. I personally find it funny to imagine him eating fistfuls of sand

i wouldnt doubt it, he drinks wet cement and LIKES it

Suggestive I suppose?

They should get endless amounts of playful banter I love when they just joke around with eachother (specifically that one interaction when they start hating on hay)

[meeple-deeple]

Wallter headcanon (that’s also a lil projection bc she is me I am her)

She HATES having his intelligence questioned even as a joke

I can imagine wallter doesn’t let most things upset them but implying that he’s stupid or talking down to her always strikes a nerve

Here is my very exaggerated example of what I mean
