I don't want a partner. I really don't.

But then some days I think how much I would like to be mutually obsessed with someone. To have someone I can't stop thinking about and whom I could write endless books about. To have someone I can slow-dance with, but then laugh at the most random thing ever. To have someone who makes me want to write poetry bc, how could I not? For love songs to start making sense.

But then again, I just want to be someone's first choice no matter what.

"And Mrs. Earwig," said Mistress Weatherwax, her voice sinking to a growl, "Mrs. Earwig tells her girls it's about cosmic balances and stars and circles and colors and wands and...and toys, nothing but toys!" She sniffed. "Oh, I daresay that's all very well as decoration, somethin' nice to look at while you're workin', somethin' for show, but the start and finish, the start and finish, is helpin' people when life is on the edge. Even people you don't like. Stars is easy, people is hard."

She stopped talking. It was several seconds before birds began to sing again.

"Anyway, that's what I think," she added in the tones of someone who suspects that she might have gone just a bit further than she meant to.

#I don't understand how mentally ill people claim that they hate work #And don't come out of literally every single shift with about 5 #with every single new shift with about at least 5 #000 #New thoughts about how wrong this all is and how detrimentally painful it is and why #I've literally started writing a multi-million word along philosophical rant #to certain fictional characters that I pretend are my partners because I'm in so much pain every day that I have so much to say #that not even ranting about it on the internet comes close at this point #it relates back to that whole philosophy about how mental illness naturally creates creativity #because I'm not even meaning to write this damn novel or philosophical paper.#it's just the fact that I literally have to or I feel like I'm going to implode

If the PM had somehow been the primary target of all of these plots instead of the ADA I firmly believe half of the situations could have been solved with Kajii. I understand he isn't popular but listen there is a reason he is who they pull out first with a hat trick when shit gets real.

#like PM roundtable meeting have we tried bombing Fukuchi? no? Lets send Kajii #prison arc. easy peasy Kajii. you can just put him in prison for other reasons if he didnt get jailed in place of Dazai then you only have #to sneak the lemon bombs in #this is assuming the ADA gets vamped in this reverse situation instead of the PM #but you know who wouldnt hesitate to bomb the crap out some vamps to death? Kajii. look it isnt what you want but you cant deny it would be #effective #he is isnt even one of my faves but I have to admit as long as he isnt giving his philosophical rants and getting distracted by his own ego #dude is effective af yeah?#bsd kajii #bsd #also dont ask me how he literally would solve the prison arc because i legit was just thinking you know who could have already killed #fyodor if Fyodor can be killed? Kajii. also his bombs arent the ability so all those anti ability walls can still be blown up by his #bombs then. checkmate.#thank you for coming to my crack ada pm swap au ted talk

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ lack

♡ TRIGGER WARNING: mentioned alcoholism, substance abuse

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ lack: to be without or deficient in

— "everything comes from nothing."

this is true. without having nothing, being at the bottom, being in a state of lack and starting from the ground up, we would never have decided to seek out something more because we would already have it. lack is the motivator behind the creation of everything we know, even if it may not be the creator. lack is what gives said creator the drive to create.

so when we feel a lack in our lives, we obviously feel a need to fill that. this creates desire. and as we are hardwired for negativity, in turn a lot of the time this leads down negative pathways because that is our natural route. but lack is always the creator of these pathways. we always lead back to our roots, and lack is the only unchanging root we all unify under.

from the simplest to the most complicated of circumstances, lack is always the culprit, because there is always a desire driving us to do these things.

desire comes from lack, and desire is found in the smallest of things. and desire and wanting leads to action. like for example if you want breakfast in the morning you'd go and hunt around the kitchen foraging for food like a wild animal. (me coded)

for example, many bad habits like substance abuse or alcoholism come from a desire to "fill the void" as it's often described, the void being emptiness, emptiness being lack.

another example; an inability to uphold healthy relationships, platonic, familial, romantic or otherwise, also often comes from a traumatic or repeated experience with instability. instability literally means "lack of stability", once again leading to lack, making them subconsciously crave what they already know. you see what i mean?

think about your problems and think about their origins. think about what you want and why you want it. you will find almost, if not every time it leads back to lack.

because everything comes from nothing.

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ wrap up

♡ NAME A PROBLEM IN YOUR LIFE

♡ WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?

♡ WHAT DO I WANT?

♡ WHY DO I WANT THIS?

♡ WHAT AM I LACKING?

♡ HOW DO I CREATE THAT IN A HEALTHY WAY?

lots of love ♡

can you pls talk about rhaenys bc her conversation with alicent in ep9 INFURIATES me

Oop get ready for an unpopular opinion. I actually love that whole conversation and everything it illuminates about both Alicent and Rhaenys. It's such an effective and devastating commentary on the different reactions women have to the patriarchy. And I don't think it has to be read as Rhaenys antagonizing or looking down upon Alicent, in which case she definitely does come across as a hypocrite, given that she never once even attempts to disobey her husband no matter how strongly she disagrees with him.

But is that the only way to read Rhaenys's words here? No. And I'm not convinced she's trying to accuse Alicent of wrongdoing here, especially in light of the conversation Rhaenys had with Rhaenyra in episode 2. In that conversation, Rhaenyra very much seems to be reveling in the fact that she is an exception while Rhaenys is not. Rhaenys fails to rise to the bait, because she understands what Rhaenyra does not: There is no exception to misogyny, not even if you are the rightful heir to the throne. So it seems odd for Rhaenys to see right through Rhaenyra there, and yet to turn around and do the exact same thing to Alicent.

So I think that in episode 9 Rhaenys is commiserating with Alicent. Consider the actual words she says. Never once does she insult Alicent, or imply that she is evil for the things she's had to do. She simply says, "you toil still in service to men. Your father, your husband, your son." This doesn't have to be a judgment, since Rhaenys has spent her entire life doing the exact same thing. Remember, in this scene Rhaenys is trying to convince Alicent to free her. It's not unthinkable that she's trying to build common ground and incite Alicent's sympathy in order to get herself released. It's not unthinkable that she says this knowing the exact same thing applies to her, too, that she says this precisely because of it.

And consider the line "have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne" and how incredibly telling it is. Rhaenys isn't necessarily marveling at the fact that Alicent works within the limits of the patriarchy, because for all the above reasons Rhaenys herself very much does the same thing; she's marveling at the fact that Alicent is so brainwashed she doesn't even allow herself to privately dream of freedom. That she "desire[s] not to be free, but to make a window within the wall of [her] prison."

Because Rhaenys cannot stop imagining it, imagining herself on the Iron Throne. The indignity and cruelty and injustice of being denied her birthright haunts her every waking moment. Now, this anger does not give her the power to challenge what has been done to her. She conforms, and she submits, just like Alicent. But it makes her fucking furious, while Alicent will not even allow herself that. Rhaenys cannot be content with just a window, and she knows that deep down Alicent cannot be, either, but that doesn't mean Rhaenys thinks she's any less trapped within that prison. Rhaenys wants more than a window, and yet she knows that both her and Alicent will never be able to have anything more.

Rhaenys isn't marveling in how brainwashed Alicent is. She's sympathizing with it. Yes, she's frustrated and angry, but she displays enough awareness throughout the series to indicate that she'd understand Alicent isn't the target of her ire. She's venting, y'all, to the only other person who might understand her unique torment as a high-born woman whose power is still not enough to save her.

I know fandom loves to pit women against each other, especially in this case given the whole team divide within the HotD fandom. But in my mind, this is simply an excruciatingly honest and vulnerable conversation between two women who have spent their entire lives being trampled by the patriarchy, allowing it to happen because they have no other choice. They are the same in every way, and they are the same in their helplessness in the face of institutional misogyny. Alicent and Rhaenys are the same, save for how they privately feel about their circumstances: Whether they feel resignation, or rage.

And these negative feelings are levied not towards each other, because they both understand (unlike baby Rhaenyra in episode 2) that other women are not and have never been the enemy. Instead, these feelings are directed towards the men, towards the patriarchy, towards the system that has actually done this to them. Rhaenys is furious in this scene, but I think it's so much more interesting if you recognize that she is only ever furious at what the patriarchy has done to her, and that the only things she feels towards Alicent are camaraderie and pity.

HotD is a fascinating exploration of all of the different ways in which women try to respond or cope with the patriarchy. Alicent, a noble but relatively unpowerful girl, spends her entire life submitting to the more powerful men around her, telling herself she's alright with how things are. Rhaenys, one of the most powerful women alive, the rightful heir to the Throne and a dragonrider to boot, spends her entire life submitting to her more powerful, male family members, raging internally the whole way. Rhaenyra, arguably the most powerful woman alive, the rightful heir to the Throne and a dragonrider with the backing of all of the men in her family, fights and refuses to accept that things have to be this way. And yet all of them still suffer.

All of them still lose.

GRRM shows that no matter how much a woman conforms, and no matter how much a woman rebels, and no matter how much power a woman has within the system, the system will always win. No single person will ever best a centuries-instilled institution of oppression. This is also the reason why Daenerys succeeds, where these equally intelligent and talented women fail: Because she dismantles the system of power entirely. Because she breaks the wheel.

i wish i could know everything. like, sure, it might break my brain but im just so curious about everything and how everything works down to mircoscopic and macroscopic levels. i want to know the history of every culture, every historical figure, every poet, everyone whos ever made a footprint in the sand. i want to understand the combination of chemicals and electric pulses throughout a brain that make up what a consciousness is and what it means to be a self aware animal. i want to dive into a black hole and come back unscathed. i want to die and come back. i want to feel everything and learn everything there is to possibly know. i want to understand the secrets of the universe and i will never have enough time. i will never be able to know absolutely everything and it kills me. i just want to understand

#bug talks #bug rants #i guess learning to crochet will have to do for now #npd #actually npd #npd safe #autism #actually autistic #this is what happens when you spend ur entire life incredibly existential #like my first memory was an existential crisis :-/#constantly asking myself 'who am i?' n 'why am i me and not someone else?'#etc and so forth #my most clear memories growing up i think are my daydreams and/or playing pretend w myself #and my laying awake at night wondering why everything is the way that it is #i was a natural born greek philosopher ig #little 5 year old me staring at the ceiling with bloodshot eyes thinking #'so if i can prove im me because i can see out of my eyes but i-#'-cant prove anyone else is real bc i cant see outta their eyes.. and idk if they have thoughts..'#like why #why did i do this #i still do this #and it makes me dissociate

Nigel's life beliefs can be traced to Hegel's philosophical concept of death. According to this theory, the manifestation of self-development for a person represents Negativity. Man, defined in his being by Negativity, is not a statically given Being, but an Action of self-affirmation or creation of himself. Complete correspondence between substance and subject can be achieved only “at the end of time,” when the creative movement of man, carried out by the negation of the natural and human, ends..

It is accomplished in the denial of the natural or human. Nature in Man and for Man is “sin”: he can and must oppose himself to it and deny it in himself, he is independent and free in relation to it. Nigel is obsessed with the idea of death, he mocks all the threads that connect him with life: he conducts experiments on animals, “creates” by killing people, ends his life - this is how he denies everything natural and human around and in himself.

a person is insignificant, but he can rise through thinking.

Nigel's thinking is impeccable, goes far ahead. but this does not bring him closer to eternity. Does he then seek to gain power over the thinking of others? Nigel "chaos". reason and freedom are presented as one whole in the film. Nigel influences Alex through Alex's emotions, his sensual side. Nigel deliberately leaves Alex as an observer in order to radically change his thinking without his noticing. Alex is having a hard time with his losses and begins to rethink his life, but since there is no punishment, he gradually assures himself that everything is going right.

Is it really Alex Jack and not a servan?

#rant time. I omitted all the philosophical questions and problems of Pascal and some others #it seems to me that it is already difficult to read.#like minds #nigel colbie #murderous intent #alex forbes #depressive period autumn is ending

Thinking about how when horrible acts are committed often our immediate response is to deny the humanity of their perpetrators. How often do you hear that someone who has done something so terrible, so vile that you could never imagine doing it yourself must be less than human?

It’s meant as a source of comfort in some ways, I think. It serves to distance yourself from even the potential to do harm. Surely, only someone who is irreconcilably different from you could do that. Surely they must have been born evil. But, as we in a way mythologize these people, we obscure a fundamental point.

All of us are capable of the worst aspects of humanity. Does that mean we would ever, in our circumstances, our lives, reasonably seek to do them? That we would even humor the idea? No. But that is not an inherent difference in you- that is a difference in context- in circumstances, in choices. I think that’s why we become fixated on the idea of labeling people around us who have done terrible things to us as irreparably broken- that to hurt is their nature as a living thing. But that’s not true. No one is inherently bad.

And that doesn’t at all take away the weight of someone’s actions. In fact, in some ways it places more burden on them. If you argue that a person is born to inflict pain, that they have no other potential- can you reasonably blame them for doing that? You can’t- it wouldn’t be their choice, they would lack any agency over their own actions. (Of course, not all harm is inflicted purposefully and maliciously- but for the sake of keeping our scope a little narrower, as broad as it already is, we are focusing on malicious harm.)

I think recognizing this humanity, even within the worst of people is incredibly important. When we demonize people, they become more representative of abstract concepts than real people. Actions are no longer seen with nuance or intent behind them- they are assumed to be the manifestation of some greater dark force- one with a satisfaction for evil. (To be super clear here- this nuance does not lessen the responsibility of whoever caused harm or its impact- it simply gives us a fuller reason of why something was enacted.)

And then we fail to see how the people around us we don’t immediately recognize as ‘monsters’ (including ourselves) can inflict harm. We say- “I know that guy, he was always nice to me, there’s no way!” We say- “those were just a few bad apples- the system itself is fine.” We say- “bad people will find ways to get their hands on weapons. It doesn’t matter what we do to regulate them- the shooters will always exist”.

#more philosophical than I usually get on here #also not really autism related but #existentialism #human nature #autistic rant #autistic rambling #thoughts #free will #this is by no means a watertight argument #I’ve already spotted potential counters for it

In defence of jumping on the bandwagon

Specifically the bandwagon of enthusiastic discussion. Here’s the thing - if you are having an awesome, joyous, meaningful discussion about a story or show that that’s fine but not a masterpiece, and I already like that thing a bit, I will jump into that discussion with excitement to rival anyone. Even if the story’s not all that. If you are wringing goodness, truth, and beauty from it, if you have tracked down the perfect lens for it - I will join you in loving it, assuming I already felt good will towards it.

To me, it’s like when my students make amazing philosophical breakthroughs by having a conversation about a novel that’s serviceable, but won’t last. (Many of those Bethlehem Books historical fiction reprints, for example.) I go bananas for the awesomeness they found in those books in spite of themselves. I will never call The Hidden Treasure of Glaston a masterpiece, but I will love it forever because it said more than it dreamed to my kids.

I LIKE to be part of a good conversation, I like to be part of unchecked enthusiasm. It seems to me these are good. They are not replacements for masterpieces - and we should be making room for those too! But the thing is, there are worse reasons to love something than the fact it gave you an opportunity to rejoice with someone else.

It’s different if your reasons are egotism or insecurity or slavery to trends - at least I think so.

#I am such a hipster by nature and get embarrassed when I like something popular #to be perfectly honest #but philosophically?#I think it’s great when everyone falls in love with a story st the same time #because a very unique avenue of living others opens up.#why am I ranting about this? dunno. I am tired. with any luck it’s symptomatic of me leaning toward the golden mean #at worst I have a fluffy sleep deprived brain and will blushingly delete later

okay but if Jimmy is a living toy, is he alive:

in a Toy Story, "you're real but you're also a toy, that's just the sort of Being you are" way

in a Velveteen Rabbit, "you have thoughts and can do things, but you're not Real yet and someday you might be, if someone loves you enough" way

or in a Pinocchio, "you're alive and genuinely a person, but you have to prove your worth to earn yourself Real Boy status" way?

#don't mind me I'm not actually caught up on empires #but i was thinking of the different types of alive toy story tropes #alive by nature; alive because of someone else's love/actions; or alive by your own merit #interesting philosophical rants hide herein #empires smp #jimmy solidarity #empires s2
