additional point (that i’m not 100% sure how to work into your overall point here but i feel like there’s something here?): leon’s interference tends to backfire specifically b/c he can’t see what people are feeling. his “danehy” pneumatic tube, which was meant to save both nica and tyrell but accidentally hit a pressure point for nica and caused her to spiral, and as of the newest episode, his miscalculation that poletti would act rationally/not be as guilty as he is completely messed up his plan to free isaiah. (did you know there was a character limit to replies because i did not) (also, hypothetical question, do you think The Narrator could interfere with the story if he so chose?)

well okay 1) i did know that actually 2) UNCLEAR. we’ve talked about this before, right, about how the Rules For Ghosts are unspecified in this universe. we don’t know the limits of leon’s capabilities or the explanation for them. how come michael can see him and talk to him sometimes but not others? how is he tied to both the crystal ball and the pneumatic tubes? how is he able to “see” other things when the ball is located at third sight? these questions are never answered

likewise, we don’t know what The Narrator IS. if he is a ghost, maybe he could also interact with some of the characters in specific ways! but, given that he has access to information that leon doesn’t whilst also not knowing the things leon knows, it’s. i am not entirely certain that he is a ghost, and therefore his connection with the living characters is even LESS defined. no one at third sight is like “hey maybe i should ask a narrator to describe how these events will play out.” but given that leon CAN communicate with The Narrator, he must hypothetically exist in this universe somehow. maybe he exists in a pocket dimension, a la anthony in the black room! maybe he’s not actually human! i doubt those options are real/practical, given the show that we’re working with, but. if the Rules For Ghosts are unclear at best, the Rules For The Narrator are hardly defined at all.

All we know is this: 1) he can either read minds or understand motivations 2) he and leon can bicker like an old married couple despite leon’s lack of. living-ness.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

ADDENDUM: yes dear that first point is very good and like. it is relevant, in a tangent sort of way, that leon, in his attempts to engage with the living, would be far more successful if he had the information that The Narrator seems to.

@masonjo the hand clench and the rain confession are cinematic masterpieces that can never be bested!!! and also, that scene where they’re dancing and everyone else in the room disappears? iconique!!!!

@satellitesandfallingstars replied to your post: "I have an inhaler which helps. Bilateral stimulation, so tapping one leg and then the other back and forth as long as necessary. The reset breathing pattern help me as well. I'm sorry you're having the anxiety shakes, they fucking suck."

I've gotten them on and off for years, so they aren't. An unfamiliar kind of sucky. But they were worse today than they've been in a while. The lightheadedness was new, though, and like. Whatever I can do to avoid an attack like that ever again, I'm game. Thanks for the tips.

@queerweiss replied to your post: stan lee needs to watch his mouth he’s too old and fragile to be starting fights

this is what I’m saying. like. he needs to stop talking about shit he doesn’t understand. i ain’t a prize fighter but I’ll punch a privileged asshole for some biphobia, make no mistake.

Trigeminal nerve stimulation

This sent me on a whirlwind trip through wikipedia that I thoroughly enjoyed bc like, lemme tell you, i did not realize this was a thing. One nerve? For your whole face?? amazing!! i have learned so much here. most of it composed of words i have never seen before and have no way to sort through.

scientists need to come up with a cheap and simple way to dull this nerve temporarily so i can pluck my eyebrows without going through an entire box of kleenex
