The self-delusions of Saitama

Saitama: "There's no point trying to provoke me. My emotions have already started to become numb."

Also Saitama when actually provoked:

Saitama, honey, we need to talk about this. This self-delusion and pitying attitude.

As much as your powers seemingly sap away at your emotions, you also can't keep bottling them up and living in this self-deluded state where you think you can't express emotions anymore, because you clearly do and the more you feel this apathetic, the more your emotional control lapses and you become impulsive. This lack of self-perspection and introspection will be your undoing.

This close-mindedness and self-pity too, that King rightfully calls out to be immature and something of his own doing bullshittery, that he supposedly cannot learn anything anymore, cannot learn new moves or cannot get stronger, got directly proven wrong in 168.

He literally got stronger, so strong that he could have destroyed the solar system if he so wanted and learned to time travel.

Fucking time traveling.

Saitama: There's nothing left for me to learn from anyone Also Saitama: *learns how to time travel from Garou*

It's not just a shallow look of himself because he's not wise enough yet, it's also dangerous.

If Genos role in Saitama's life is to provide growth in terms of emotional stability, King's role in Saitama's life is to provide wisdom because in this, he is more mature than Saitama is and has more experience in life, despite not being that much older than Saitama. Saitama's look about himself is coloured by his lack of self-esteem and the alienation his powers bring him, so he cannot perceive himself without those goggles. His situation is difficult in general, but it is not an excuse, not any longer.

He cannot allow it to be an excuse any longer.

The sweet irony of King, who is a fraud hero, lecturing Saitama about heroism and now in 168 Saitama reflected on those same sentiments and found them to be correct.

Real friends will tell you unpleasant truths, not just what you want to hear but what you need to hear.

"Life is a journey with no destination. If you wanna see new things, you have to make a path for it yourself."

Saitama may not consciously know it yet, but the clock is ticking.

Ticking down when it's too late to come to these realizations. How to grow as a person and how to become a true hero.

I am glad that Saitama has found some good friends. Cherish them and learn from them and this is how you can grow, Saitama.

Every time one can write a self-deluded song, you are way ahead of the game, way ahead. Self-delusion is the basis of nearly all the great scenes in all the great plays, from 'Oedipus' to 'Hamlet.'

- Stephen Sondheim

(...) In the actress's case, this was a particularly challenging endeavor, since she had been romantically involved with Bergman and a lot of the film's painful details were extracted from her own life. Ullmann herself said that shooting Scenes from a Marriage was akin to participating in a documentary. (...) this is Ullmann's crowning achievement in a career full of unbelievably great feats. It's, in fact, one of the performances I'd shortlist if someone ever asked me to select the best film acting of all-time.

In Marianne's case, this lack of demonstrative inner thought is even more present than in Johan's because she isn't sure of who she is at the start of the narrative. Like many people in long-term relationships, she had let her identity be defined by her connection to another person, which proves to be destructive once he pulls away and leaves Marianne alone with herself.

(...) the actress constructs a believably complicated woman whose relationship to her husband changes over a decade of shared living.

Instead of going the expected route of playing histrionics, tears, and screams, she reacts with fear. It's an existential panic that seems to sprout from the depths of her spirit and makes her unravel, laid bare before our eyes. The performance is more visceral than cerebral.

At a certain later point, when holding onto Johan to prevent him from physically leaving, Ullmann seems almost monstrous, a wounded ghoul trying to imprison the source of its vampiric sustenance. However, as Bergman keeps the camera on Ullmann, the grotesque turns to something more piteous and painful. In another scene closer to the end, the actress and her director will play a similar trick by leaving the camera on her face as she shows how Marianne's lust turns to contented affection before souring into outright hatred towards a man who's never felt any qualms about hurting her with psychological warfare. Any word I write about this exorcism calling itself acting seems futile in its attempt at capturing the genius of Liv Ullmann. The best thing I can say is that, many times during Scenes from a Marriage, I honestly felt uncomfortable. That's maybe the ultimate testament to such a performance - it's so real you want to look away, but you can't.

If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662, French scientist, religious philosopher) No thinker's thoughts give me as much pleasure as my own. Of course, this does not prove anything in their favor; but on the other hand, I would be foolish to neglect fruits that are tasteful just because they grow on my own tree.

Isaac Asimov School can provide you an education and university can give you a culture, but self-knowledge and self-learning can help you to make a fortune. Carl William Brown Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing.

Carl William Brown Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

"Delulu is the Solulu."

—Takeaways from Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken

With the exception of Yanina Sokolovskaya (the only woman on the panel), these pundits on Russian TV seem baffled as to why Ukrainians hate Russia so much.

Maybe those pundits should broaden their news menus beyond Russian state TV.

To put it mildly, the Russian establishment is in deep denial about the war crimes being committed on their behalf..

I couldn't sleep so I drew some Pomnies shes surprisingly fun to draw lol Oh and some doomed yuri too I guess xD buttonblossom is cute n all but calling them doomed yuri or digital yuri is a lot funnier to me

When I insist that I stay at home through self-delusion, my parents tell me to go to school. When I say that I can just take pills and go to school, they say I better stay at home.

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.

Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

Do it!

smooch him and hold his hands!
