”So mind control.” Artemia chuckled quietly “No. This is simply using the brain to trick the brain in certain ways.” “And using it like mind control.”

Absolutely love that every clone still working with the Empire that Crosshair has a mission with all go AWOL immediately after interacting with him. It draws him unwanted attention from the Admiral because it looks like he’s the key in the other clones getting radicalized and leaving to fight against the Empire instead of for them, but really it’s just because Crosshair doesn’t hesitate when they do to follow a clearly despicable order, clarifying that the Empire really isn’t the Republic they all fought for and that it isn’t peace they’re maintaining.
He’s not some rebel or otherwise, he just makes such shitty decisions that the other clones are like oh yeah the Empire is fucked up im out. That’s so fucking funny to me, actually.

crazy to think I was so peculiar as a very young child before the abuse started setting in to change me. I would get so pissed off because we had a game in preschool where you would do a certain move around the carpet in a circle and I was convinced everyone was galloping wrong and I was the only one doing it right and I would just stew in annoyance. this is a symptom of something

millie winchester tells john, “your father and i had this rule, never leave a fight without finding a way to say ‘i love you’” and how she regrets that their last fight before henry disappeared ended without an ‘i love you’ and all of that literally goes in one ear out the other. john fights with mary and then walks out leaving his four year old son to be the one to tell mary she’s still loved and that dean will never leave her. john fights with sam over stanford and then tells him if he walks out that door he should stay gone, and dean’s the one to eventually go back for him and bring sam back into the fold. john fights with dean and fights with dean and fights with dean and abandons him and hurts him and but dean won’t leave because despite it all dean still loves his dad and he doesn’t know how to leave people he cares about and he’s still desperate for any ounce of attention or affection. but john doesn’t apologize and he certainly doesn’t tell dean he’s loved

It's hilariously therapeutic to watch Cutthroat Kitchen because a lot of the time, when a man loses, he has the funniest little reaction.
Like even if the judge was very clear and explicit about why he got voted off, he'll be like "I thought my dish was great. I shouldn't have been voted off. I deserved to win, because I'm a good chef no matter what the judge said." (When they've done things like serve uncooked meat or used a plain century egg as garnish)
Like goddamn, people are surviving just fine, without constantly being upset with themselves for small mistakes? They can even ignore huge mistakes and chose to believe they are perfect, and apparently this has been a successful survival technique for them because they're still alive.
So maybe I can forgive myself for small things. Maybe I can be nice to myself about it. Apparently I could even lie to myself about it and pretend it wasnt a big deal or wasnt my fault I'd probably be fine--so it's probably okay if I let some cereal expire, and if I can't fend off the guilt and self-loathing about it, then its a valid option to just say "well its the cereal's fault for expiring" or something silly to escape the pointless unbearable guilt.
Like I don't plan to do that for meaningful mistakes, but why not resort to Overconfident Man Confidence to dodge debilitating shame over throwing away a single paper bag that I've been reusing for months and it's finally beyond use but I feel like I'm wasting resources and should fix it? My guilt and shame aren't playing fair or logical so I am allowed to use sneaky tricks like "borrowing confidence from a man raised to believe he is never wrong" to fight back lol.

Jaydick au where they share the same soul
Where Dick actually is about to die, and the only way to save him is if someone gives/shares their soul with him. But that person ought to have a very strong and deep emotional connection to Dick, in the form of a strong feelings of love, so the spell could actually work
Now on this mission there's only Jason available right now all of the other family are far away and they won't be able to make it in time
Dick finds it bittersweet because on one hand he is fairly sure Jason doesn't even look at him as a friend let even possesses any type of love towards him, but he is also happy as he doesn't want to risk another life by tying it to his own
Time is running out and Jason is out of reach. He was deathly still and silent the whole time. Heh maybe he doesn't even want to bother with the mess that's Dick, even at his final moments.....(it hurts so bad. And not because of his injuries....)
But then Jason moves with determination in his eyes. He looks at Dick "don't worry Goldie. Everything will be alright" Huh? "promis you"
Jason faces the witch and ask them to start proceeding with spell. Dick doesn't understand anything, and in the matter of seconds a magical contract has tied both of Dick and Jason's souls together
After that, Jason makes sure to get Dick to safety. They don't really speak of what happend, for Jason it's like a secret got forced out of him, and for Dick the events overall are too overwhelming.
Jason purposefully starts avoiding Dick out after that because Jason doesn't really want to get anything from Dick only because Dick feels indebted to Jason...... which is really stupid because that will only prolong their suffering
Anyways, now that they share the same soul they develope some kind of a soul bond that helps them feel each other emotions, also both of them are way less reckless on patrols, because now the death of one of them is the death of the other......

I hate how everyone expects me to get top or full marks on my exams and calls me talented and says that i have potential while pointing at the fact that I'm getting a low passing mark. Like you're literally contradicting yourself, you say I'm talented enough to achieve these high grades while pointing out the fact that I'm literally barely passing. And everyone's blowing it out of proportion too. They're saying that I'm never gonna get into college if I get a 4(passing grade) because colleges would rather have someone who got a 7 or 8 (very high grades), but I don't care. I seriously couldn't give the slightest fuck about education anymore. It's driven me to near insanity and I genuinely don't even want to stay in school until 18. I don't give a shit about jobs or money or opportunities or to be something big and make use of my potential, I just want to fucking live. No one's letting me be me, I always have to be better than me, and paired with the fact that everyone's simultaneously denying I have some kind of neurodivergenct and saying they're supposedly giving me all the additional support they can (they're not), it's completely wrecking me inside and out.
Mentally, this year has been the worst year for my mental health because of anger issues and anxiety and social issues and a general want to isolate. Physically, my unknown joint issues that are apparently just growing pains have gotten worse and its a chore to go up and down small flights of stairs and get from one building to another. I've had to start taking steroid medication inhalers because my asthma gotten worse from the stress. My eczema has come back on my face and its one of the most humiliating things because I look diseased. My hair is shedding far more than usual and my hair is usually thick but fragile. My chest and back and legs have been in more pain combined this year than when I had appendicitis.
I seriously just want to give up and become a hermit. I'm sick of life and I'd rather be contained in a little bubble as the family's next disappointment. I sobbed my eyes out over a badly formatted revision book tonight, I'm not emotionally stable enough to take on exams, let alone life, and all anyone has to say is to just be more resilient, as if I want to have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old. I'm tired and I don't care about my future anymore.
