okay so im thinking back to like. bad and baghera's little conversation about ron and morals and how that relates to forever and i think i'm getting closer to putting my finger on the fundamental disconnect between bad and forever.

like specifically, the question i'm thinking about was "would you kill an islander to get your egg back?"

baghera's answer was "i would do it, but i would be crossing a line"

i think that's what makes her different from bad and forever. bad and forever both have lines that they simply Will Not Cross

the difference is that forever's lines are moral and idealogical. he won't torture innocent people, even if they're Federation workers and he's willing to harm even his dear friend Bad to protect an innocent party. he hates the idea of being someone willing to blow up the island even more than he hates being drugged against his will and he hated that a whole fucking lot.

he cannot understand or tolerate how bad would be willing to do something as evil as imprison an innocent worker because that's one of his lines.

bad's lines are people and that's about it. he protects his family. dapper, pomme, the other eggs, forever, foolish, the french. harming his family is unthinkable to him. he holds himself back from torturing Federation workers because that might draw attention to himself that would put the eggs in the crossfire. he doesn't put mines down because an egg could die in a mine trap.

he cannot understand or tolerate how forever would be willing to lie about dapper to protect a Federation worker because that's one of his lines

in short, to forever, There Are Things You Do Not Do To People and to bad, There Are People To Whom You Do Not Do Things

this isn't something that just talking it out can fix i don't think

#sorrelposting #qsmp #qsmp forever #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp analysis #to be clear forever is in the one here who has like #actual morals #bad's moral compass exists only by proxy of what would cause problems for his eggs #i am usually bbhposting bc i have brainworms about him #but forever is usually morally in the right #except about the prison

Fucking loved dbd if I could I'd kiss it on the mouth and take it out on a nice picnic date because everything was on fucking point (almost) and the vibes are immaculate (fr)

But

And I get they all are supposed to be teenagers

But Voltron has left too deep a scar on me with allurance for me to like Crystal with my heart

mendel is overworked because hes awful at his job otherwise he wouldn't be. hes stressed because he hates his patients and cant deal with them and only says maybe its my fault once he cant even convince jason of doing somethin. and he really just gives up at fixing it, being optimistic and not knowing what to do because he lacks the skills to work with such a huge problem. you cant just say "youre dismissing him because hes bad at his job" because that is precisely why he is overworked.

dr charlotte had to deal with misogyny and homophobia and patients dying daily and once she managed to get some control a new virus appeared and she tried pushing through it with what she could mostly by herself with most doctors not caring and trying not to stress anyone in her family and also insisting on hiding it because she was so proud of herself for being a good doctor. she doesnt know what to do either, but shes wracking her brains about it to no end. she is extremely overworked.

and thats the difference with mendel: charlotte is overworked because she was such a good doctor she never gave up despite every problem she went through, knowing it was only a matter of time and being the one to communicate "something bad is happening" with her 2 songs about it; mendel is overworked because he was a bad psychiatrist who couldn't handle his patients with superficial problems without being emotionally exhausted, being the one to communicate the optimistic statement of "everything will be alright."

#falsettos #phew thats long #sorry i didnt want to bother the poll maker ^.^ so i made this separately #its really not that hard im a mendel fan first and human second but dr charlotte is so overworked you really cant argue about it #as someone else worded it shes a proxy for every doctor who tried their hardest fighting about this crisis no one understoo #mendels just a bad psychiatrist lol. he gets dismissed bc his problems are caused because of it not because i dislike him or somethin..#buscandole el pelo al huevo

if there's anything i care about more than magical girls, it's magical women

#txt.mine #thinking about how much i love the niche cuz adult lifestyles have such a fun variety of moments to start a story with #and i feel like the balance of agency through life & work & purpose & desire can get skewed in suchh a good way #like. maybe some characters are unemployed or stuck in a dead-end job or unsustainable passion-project. maybe everyone's in the same career #it's just so fun to see ensembles with conflicting life-styles and watch how it goes when these people finally have a moment to talk again #or there's roommates who got scouted off the street then have to balance deeply contemporary problems and a patron who's passionate but also #needs proxies for material change [fighting monsters of the week]#anyway. im so sleepy #to the stories i am thinking of [magical girl friendship squad {youtube series}] [heaven will be mine {pc visual novel}] [life after magic #{pc visual novel. disclaimer that i havent finished lam yet; tho i started it on a whim & it's Pretty charming so far}]#i need to talk about these stories more. god i love when women are complicated & stuck in a strained community

Unpopular opinion, but it is possible to be a fan of SFW kink without constantly mentioning how superior you are at the fans of NSFW versions of the same damn kink. Like chill. Republicans hate both of you.

#I do not have the balls to put this in the main tags #but AAAAA #I am starting to dislike the entire community by proxy just due to attitude problems

Screenshot time. Can't believe hot pants made johnny see women as people. Incredible.

Also here's these two being funny but the real commentary is that I have a sinking feeling johnnyboy's gonna end up married to the very currently 14 year old girl. If I'm right please don't tell me I'd rather live in blissful ignorance for longer.

#gyros getting on my nerves but at least johnny is going through it too #he's so pained that he likes this man. audience proxy.#looking at the girl. this was not. a problem. before.#this was not a problem beforeeeeeeeee #mati barks #mati reads jjba #actually taking a break from reading now #need to cool down #jolly baxter's fantastic queue

I am not coming for anyone who pairs their character off with serana....like she is not real no material harm is being committed here....but I love fics where people just let her be unattached. The game presents this character who is desirable by a lot of standards and then denies her to the player and frankly I think that rocks. rare w.

#there's a lot to be said about the idea of asexuality being GASP unthinkable and what that does to people #but I'm also not a huge fan of shipping debates as a proxy for real-world problems

What are two books that have almost nothing, or just nothing in common but because you read them in similar times they are forever linked in your brain?

Mine are the Insignia Trilogy by S.J. Kincaid and Proxy by Alex London.

category 5 social anxiety incident, brought upon by A Talk About Potential Plans. 1 found dead on the floor, gazillions injured

#....we've been talking about making a group for ttrpg games where the dm and play system switches frequently #or a dnd group where my forever dm friend is a player instead of dm #and as someone who's been talking about maybe trying dming at some point. i'm terrified of dming #especially since i only know the other people by proxy. bc they're my friend's friend #i mean. if we form the group by god i'm gonna have to do it and try dming a one shot session. maybe i find out i like dming #i'm just 1) scared of people 2) scared of public speaking (esp if it's people idk well) 3) not good at being spontaneous/improv #4) overthinking everything. if i do badly i'm gonna be thinking about it every time i meet these people #which is a Me Problem that im also working on #but anyway tldr i'm terrified of whatever will come of this. before we're even sure that it's gonna be A Thing #cas.txt

tragic: all the fics about the character u searched for on ao3 tagged hurt/comfort because u want to see them comfort someone all involve them being the one in pain

#is this a problem other ppl have?#bcz sometimes a character has insane older brother energy and u wanna be comforted by them by proxy #but most of the fics r them hurting #which tbf they’ve been through a lot and it’s under-addressed by canon and other times i would look these kinda fics up on purpose #but rn bro i just want this mf to be caring to younger other blorbo who they half adopted as a little sibling yk #steve harrington #percy jackson #probably more but i forgor #ryan shut the fuck up

#if this has taught me anything it's thank god moe only exists in my mind.#if moe was real it would be mischaracterized in such a heinous atrocious way that it would ACTIVELY resent LMFAOOOOO #like damn... you can't even be silly and in your 20s.... and god forbid you're autistic on top of that.#esp w moe's interests and lore (esp toy collector/maker hobby) like. AND the fact that it's short. like.#it doesn't matter if i give it angel fangs and nipple piercings. the discourse would be unhinged. and SO wildly incorrect #idk idk i use moe as a proxy to explore and unpack so many complicated things. one of them being #the infantalization of autistic people especially. ESPP when like. the disability DOES disable you.#like so much of it is random ass things being assigned 'childish' which is stupid. bc when you get down to it #moe's interest in plush making/toy customs is no different than alfonse's interest in weapons/folklore #and just cause moe needs a lot of help to do 'basic' things. needs help just to keep up. and whether it likes it or not #it does seek safety. doesn't make it childish. you're just ableist. if you think that.#and man do NOT even get me started w moe's complicated relationship w romance/sexuality.#that thing has SO many problems. fuckibg alfonse in the ass is not one of them though #accepting any amount of affection is though.#moe tag #moe lore

okay real reason i dont watch new media often is cus i keep getting new ideas for projects that only exist in my mind and never get made

#its fucked honestly #gos was inspired by me reading acotar in like #a month #all of acotar too not just the first book #fucking midas is inspired by invincible with a bit of kr black sun #watched invasion and three body problem close to each other #then listened to anna van hausswolf's all thoughts fly now im getting ideas for another alien novel #lucid i guess in part is inspired by ergo proxy and junji ito #but mostly has music inspiration from colin stetson and ghost in the shells ost #i could go on #ntl i think is my most 'organically grown' ip #but even then the high fantasy aspects are inspired by tolkien and various fantasy books ive read as a kid

I've alluded to it before here and there but one of the many woes of the schizoidism is that I realise I effectively never have anybody to ask for not just for serious 'help' but just with things like the last poste. Yes there are probably a gajillion people online who can point me in the right direction but I don't know how to approach such people and in many cases my ineloquence/social problems makes it so people aren't very receptive of or incentivised to want to help me.

#it's nothing against those other people I recognise this is a problem with me #just unfortunate to think about #reminds me of some past incidents that I won't bother elucidating on for now #I used to have to pester the one sociable person I know to do all the 'networking' for me #like 'hi I have nobody to ask and I know you don't know about this but do you know a guy who does?'#feels like the main benefit of sociability besides intimacy is just knowing a lot of A Type Of Guy's by proxy
