One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

yoon sanha has such a phenomenal voice. this voice was created by the muse of music euterpe and dipped in thick honey to heal hearts and give pure delight. when sanha sings, he has the ability to effortlessly convey emotion and depth through his vocals. he has the smoothest, most velvety tone that touches the very depths of your being and brings so much peace. if balsam for the soul had a voice, it would be yoon sanha’s singing voice. it is strong and forward, yet so pillowy and soft. yoon sanha has the greatest voi-

it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

i just want to talk about the fact that i’m still mad about how akira gets perceived when he’s very clearly not just a self-insert, he’s just a chameleon and people pleaser. he doesn’t want to rock the boat with anyone and attempts to give them answers that they want to hear and not cause strife within the relationships he tries to cultivate in order to not go through even more than he already is. not to mention he got sucked into the life of a persona user where the one thing he wasn’t supposed to do which is get into trouble is challenged with his own pressing moral obligation to help. he didn’t have to, but he was initially kinda thrust into helping and got in trouble anyways so why not go all the way? but even then, his confidence and swagger are feigned for the most part because he’s also thrust right into a leadership role because of his status as a wildcard. like there’s obviously choices you can make for him, but in the times that you can’t, you can really see that he’s just a teenager that’s really been hurt and highly affected by people treating him badly. it’s highly suggested that his own parents thought of him as a sudden problem child and didn’t believe him when he plead his case. he likely had a ‘normal’ relationship with them in the first place where he didn’t really talk much to them but to suddenly be alienated and drove off to a strangers place in another city entirely can cause a lot of damage to someone’s perception of themselves and cause so much self-doubt on what they deserve and how they should be treated because of it. and he kinda just… rolls with it and accepts it as further punishment for stepping into an adult world until he gets his persona. but even then!!! even THEN he still deals with that repetitive self-doubt issue where he wonders if he should cower back after nearly every mission!! you can see it in the dialogue options!! and if you treat those as thoughts you choose from, it becomes a lot more clear that his psyche is damaged from adults and his peers! he’s not infallible and immune to it, no matter how the player perceives the daily goings on. he still thinks about it constantly, and i really do think he experiences night terrors from the ptsd of all that he keeps cooped up in him. because it’s not just being a victim of shido’s drunken rampage. it’s the fact that he’s a child and he’s forced to rise up over and over again against people that wouldn’t care if his life was entirely ruined and plan on doing just that. the horrors of humanity that he’s put through repeatedly and the stress of knowing that it’s on him especially to make sure they pull through. it’s so much to put on one man’s shoulders, let alone a teenagers who’s expected to practically be an adult but still know his place, get good grades, stay out of trouble, and not be heard.

What's important to take away from Wakanda Forever is that Shuri is a lesbian

God, I love Ryuji. Persona 5 really spends over an hour in the beginning  hammering home just how badly society has screwed over the protagonist for doing the right thing. Literally everyone he meets, authority figures that he should be able to rely on, like cops, teachers, and parental figures, treat him like garbage.  You could hardly blame him if he chose to become a villain after everything he goes through, after seeing how being good worked out for him.

And then you have Ryuji, a loud, blond punk. Basically, the poser boy for being a bad influence. Literally the first thing he does on-screen is curse out a teacher. He’s angry, rude, and confrontational. And yet, the moment the protagonist is in danger, he grabs a guy over twice his size and yells for the protagonist to run.

Like…Ryuji single-handedly restored the protagonist’s faith in people. Because Ryuji helped him, a total stranger, just like he helped that struggling woman. It proves to the protagonist that his decision to help was not a mistake, despite what everyone has been telling him. That he is not alone in wanting to stand up to injustice. And this motivates the protagonist to awaken, because he won’t let Ryuji be punished for doing the right thing the way he was punished. Everything that follows, the whole plot of the game, happens because Ryuji was willing to risk his life to help some guy he didn’t even know.

I highly recommend reading the book You Are Not So Smart [b-ok/z-lib link]. 48 chapters on logical fallacies, heuristics and social effects that transformed the way I think, see the world every day and form arguments. It’s a must-read.
