SEPTIMUS HEAP MENTIONED HOLY SHIT ‼️ I SPEEDREAD EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE BOOKS INCLUDING THE SPINOFF TRILOGY AT THE TENDER AGE OF 10. never seen a septimus heap fan in the wild before tbh

YEAAAAHHH ANOTHER SEPTIMUS HEAP FAN!

ok for real though why does it seem like there are no other septimus heap fans until you mention it once and they all come out of the walls

do you mind doing more cameron headcanons haha... i run the cam ask blog and honestly i've been fixated on his character ever since lmfao. loser moment because everyone else hates him </3

thanks a bunch, no pressure !!

hey, ofc!

i definitely understand, although cam's not my fav he for sure gets wayyyy too much hate. personally im more than a cameron apologist and his actions, however shitty, were completaly understandable for a kid in his situation

anyways! still i don't have many cam hc just laying around so this isn't all that easy

first id love to point you to lexical-gustatory synesthetic cameron headcanons, if you haven't seen them (not mine!!) bc that's the post that solidifed the hc in my mind

his bio dad was french and he spent the first 5-6 years of his life in france

so technically english is his second language

his bio dad died when he was like 9 and his mom remarried pretty quickly

he is an only child

refuses to laugh at ANY of charlie's jokes . bc he's petty

i ve always imagined that cameron's family - grandparents n cousins specifically - live on a farm where he spends a all his summers

he actually loves typical farm activities too

he's a cow person. he has his favorite cow friend. her name is buttercup, she has huge pretty eyes and loves listening to him rant while cuddling <3

the first car he ever drove was a farm truck when he was 15

he's a lightweight and a giggly drunk, it's jarring how laid back and in a good mood he is when drinking. like everything is funny to him

he's (unintentionally) so hilarious . like look at him

like he has such an honest face, you can always tell what he's thinking and it's histerical.

he has no idea and can't lie bc of it

can never tell if he's being flirted with. he dislikes romance in general, actually. he feels a breeze of it in the air and his flight-or-fight immediately starts going off

still he somehow he gives pretty good dating/relationship advice

only drinks coffee black. not bc he's a snob (i mean he is, a little bit), he just likes it that way. his fav is an americano with sugar

okay pal it's your turn 🫵

i'd like to hear all about psychological diagnostic methods. or barbies. or poetry. or whatever you'd like to talk about best :)

much love!

I've waited to answer this one cuz I've been a little quiet lately, but this is my favorite type of ask to receive and just knowing it is here makes me so happy.

So, regarding psychological diagnostic methods, they are very much subject to change. Our current system really rose into being in the 1970s, with DSM-III. The previous ones still depended a lot on Freudian, Jungian, and Positive psychology. A lot of people currently think that the DSMs since then have pathologized normal behaviors and unnecessarily medicated them. I would agree. I also would want to call for reform in the system when it comes to treating individual people because it can be very difficult to tell what really needs to be treated simply from intake forms and interviews. I really like the DBT method of verbal therapeutic treatment because it allows for more ambiguity in the first phases of treatment, which means the therapist is less in charge and the patient is left with the task of prioritizing. I think CBT is a good method for people with more obvious addictions, such as alcoholism and drug dependency. As far as diagnostic terminology, anxiety and depression are way overused when often these are totally normal reactions to environmental issues. Yes, I'm ok with people being medicated when they're overworked, abused, or grieving, but the diagnostic name and description should make allowances for the fact that these are not scientific, biomedical conditions. That is the fall of psychology: to claim that it is scientific at the cost of making real, qualitative, case-study-based investigation into what is going on. As much as psychology as a discipline has tried to claim (since its 1870s German-university founding in labs that measured reaction time) (before this, the physical part was subsumed by medicine and the mental part by philosophy and religion) that it is a totally objective science, its obsession with categorizing nomenclatures and taking authority over everyday areas of life has proved the opposite.
