It is not okay to speculate whether or not someone is suicidal. If they claim to be, you should 100% take that shit seriously and give them the benefit of the doubt.
That said, if someone is using their own suicidality as a weapon to gain sympathy, emotionally manipulate someone, or to push other people down, GENUINELY fuck that person. While it's not okay for us to doubt that statement just because they're weaponizing it, that also doesn't mean we need to ALLOW that manipulation to convince us of something.
If you feel the need to use your terrible mental health as a step-stool in a conversation to make your side more heard than the other, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate yourself. And I am saying this as someone who ALSO has shit mental health and has been in the trenches with it before. I get it. I understand. But also STOP.
It's tempting to want to save your own ass over recognizing where you've gone wrong, but just a word of advise: recognizing where you've gone wrong WILL save your ass and give you better mental health and wisdom down the line.
However, emotionally manipulating people absolutely will not.
because when someone's choking you, you grab their WRIST, to put the pressure from your throat, not their forearm. (wise words from this video. i actually did research for that. what's more is that at first Dazai did put his hand on Chuuya's wrist but changed it a panel later. he could've put it lower on the glove but he didn't do that and instead had it on his forearm until Chuuya punched him. also idc if he's not really choking Dazai bc even so for sb who hates pain this cannot be comfortable. also Chuuya why are you doing that if you don't wanna actually hurt him huh?).
and the way Dazai's touch can't even be called a grab bc it's so light... this man really just wanted to touch Chuuya's skin - otherwise he'd have gone for his wrist (which is gloved)...
(ID in alt)
and an additional thing that's probably me overanalyzing but oh well:
i know that in the 2nd pic, after their fight with Lovecraft, the touch was needed, but it's interesting how Dazai touches Chuuya at the very same place that he did in the PM's basements. let's say that's where he would touch him while nullifiying corruption most times. soo imagine that the Dazai from the PM prison scene touched Chuuya there - so lightly, as if checking if he can still do it - as a way of asking Chuuya if he still trusted him with corruption and their partnership. that touch holds memories of so many of the double black's battles and, most importantly, of the trust that used to be - and maybe still is, that's what Dazai's checking (and what will be confirmed during the fight with Lovecraft) - between them.
i know the popular theory about why zhongli avoided neuvillette is to avoid conflict but how would he know like…this is the same neuvi that got duped by furina for 500 years and has never left fontaine like how would he know???
zhongli doesn’t have the gnosis anymore and i don’t think neuvi has met an adeptus before so like how would he know it’s the geo archon and not some powerful adepti walking around???
like maybe zhongli still has divinity all over him but like this is zhongli the guy is a master manipulator surely he could’ve come up with a sweet excuse like HOW HE WOULD KNOW???
Were you previously aware that James' in-game race is not the only aspect that changes based on the player?
During Character Creation, 50% of the player's FaceGen data is copied to James, meaning his appearance will be personalized to the player.
During CC, first, the command “MatchRace” is executed on James to match the player's race. “MatchFaceGen” is then executed afterwards, with a value of 50.
is it just me or did season 5 ep 8 soldify that it wasn't a plan? like in the manga, you think that way bc there's only sm art can show. but the anime, dazai sounded genuinely devastated. his expressions and the way his voice was so strained at the end of his speech. i don't think there is a plan, he had no choice but to kill chuuya because he thought it was the only way to get rid of dostoevsky and save the world from him. his voice sounds so similar to when he sounded when odasaku died, just so unbeliveably devastated.
"how did i go this long without knowing [x], me not learning this is indicative of some kind of larger bigotry or conspiracy in society" well not to be unkind but perhaps you are simply not very intellectually curious or attentive to the world around you
I remembered that there's a sequel in development to that 2021 Cruella movie, and I just want to showcase one of my favorite parts in the 101 Dalmatians: The Series Christmas Carol parody about Cruella's bad childhood which boiled down to "'hurt people hurt people' NOTHING you're still an asshole and you make everyone else suffer for it and that doesn't make it okay" and as silly as it might be as it's from the 1997 TV series (which like most Disney shows based on movies, was "denser and wackier" than the original film(s)), still works better than Cruella's mother getting chased off a cliff by Dalmatians and that's why she's a #girlboss or whatever.
Okay, so I watched the Zoey 102 trailer and I saw a scene with Quinn running in her wedding dress. I'm gonna say it now, if at some point she runs away with Del Figgalo, I'm taking no hostages, I will fucking burn the place to the ground. Don't test me.
