#it's so incredibly human and relatable

[chaosxcrushed]

There's a certain CCCC summary video that we really, really like. We think it is a great video for people if they want to grasp the story more clearly, if they're confused, or if they're listening to the album for the first time.

That video being Chonny Jash and the Weight of the Mind on Youtube by W3tBl@nk3t. We think they cover it really well.

However, I'm sharing this for a different reason; they say few certain things that really struck with us until now, that I'd like to share with the fandom. Sometimes, we see people really just.. Miss the point of CCCC entirely, and I'd like to shine a light on what was said here. If you'd like to hear this for yourself on video, the timestamp is 35:57-36:45.

“..I bet we all could relate to that, they are the prime example of the side of you that suffers and the side of you that hates yourself for suffering:

The side of you that just wants to slow down and feel everything even to the unhealthy extent of not being able to do anything else(1), but also the side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it(2).

Sure, laying in bed all day every day to rot isn't healthy, but neither is boiling things down and invalidating your own emotions. Both are paths to inevitable disaster, and that's what Chonny is doing here. Keep in mind that the idea behind this album is being whole, and that means neither of these sides are entirely in the right or the wrong; this album is about inner compromise and acceptance(3).”

1.) The side of you that suffers; Heart. He is representative of Whole's emotions, he holds them. Your emotions can go haywire, especially when one's mentally ill and has no way of their feelings being validated. An emotional person like Heart suffers under the weight of crushing, devastating feelings. He wants to feel things out, have time to just process everything, even if it takes them days or weeks to get over it. It's not healthy, but feeling is what he does, and he wants to help because he knows he has importance. Solely focusing on just your emotions isn't the best thing to do, however.

2.) The side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it; Mind. Many people have been there, have wanted themselves to stop wallowing in their own emotions and just do something else, even to the point where you think feeling things out is unnecessary. This is also unhealthy, but not intentionally. Like Heart, Mind just wants to help, everything he does is in best interest. This is what he thinks will get them to move on the quickest; to leave behind emotions and focus on anything BUT that. Also not the best thing to do.

3.) This album is about inner compromise and acceptance; About being whole. Neither of Heart and Mind are right nor wrong. They have their own ways of doing things, of what they think will help their whole self out the most, but both are unhealthy despite the good intentions. They fight over who's wrong or right, when they shouldn't even be doing so in the first place. It's your thoughts against your emotions, basically; your feelings contradict your thoughts, and it leads to an inner war of sorts. This won't make things better, which is why you can't have Mind over Heart or vice versa; you'll need both of them. In the album, they are only able to be whole when they get along. They harmonize, they 'combine', they see eye to eye with each other and work together instead of fighting over and over. Inner compromise is achieved with this, and acceptance can lead them away from any disaster that there's to come.

What we're trying to say is that mental health is a large thing tackled within CCCC, and yet we see a lot of people who overlook it; thus, end up missing the point of the whole album. We see a lot of people believe Mind's perspective a little too much and treat Heart quite harshly, or the other way where people demonize Mind and say that Heart is perfect, when it's not really that in the slightest.

This is not a hate post towards people's interpretations of CCCC or how they view characters, I'm just saying that people can tend to overlook what's in the very narrative, and we see a concerning amount of people do such.

Anyways. Stream CCCC and put your Hearts and Minds in the get along shirt. Have a nice day.

I genuinely don't know at most points in the show, what Arthur would have done if he'd discovered Merlin's magic. I think that's a big part of what keeps this fandom so alive.

But in rewatching season 1, I see Arthur's sense of duty ruling every little action, or at least coming into play. If he is being observed, every single decision he makes puts his duty and responsibility as prince first. But when he's not, he's already got questions about his father's decisions. He's already got his doubts.

In episode 8 where Mordred is first introduced, he catches Morgana trying to flee with Mordred. You can see when he catches her that he wants to let her go. He wants to let her escape and take Mordred to safety. But as soon as this look crosses his face, he looks around and sees his guards/knights. It's their presence that forces his hand. He has an image to uphold and it's why he apprehends them in that moment, even though his heart tells him not to.

This brings me back to how he would react if Merlin's magic was revealed. I think that no matter what, after the first few episodes, he wouldn't want to arrest Merlin. But his actual actions would depend entirely on how his magic was revealed. If it happened in the first season, I think there would have been two options.

If Merlin's magic was revealed s01 when it was just Arthur and Merlin, and no one else nearby at all, none the wiser to any of it. Then Arthur would have sent Merlin away reluctantly. He would want him to stay but it's that sense of duty that would force his hand. He'd tell Merlin to go and never come back like he did with Lancelot. He would show him mercy and his heart would want Merlin to stay. But his fear of failing in the eyes of his kingdom would force his hand.

But if Merlin's magic were revealed in any other circumstance. Even if it were just with Arthur and Gaius, Arthur would reluctantly have him arrested. He would do the same thing he did to Morgana, he'd look around and see that he was being watched, that his moves were being measured, and he wouldn't want to fail. He is so incredibly burdened by his role as prince early on that he would feel no other option but to arrest him. But, I think he would help him escape. Merlin wouldn't let him go, but Arthur would do everything he could to get him released. He would break him out, but only after assuring his father that Merlin had been arrested. Only after playing the part of the dutiful prince. Then the following morning as alarm bells sound, he would lead the search parties, far away from Merlin.

#lmk if anyone has other thoughts related to this #in rewatching I just feel so bad for season 1 Arthur #yeah he's a jerk sometimes #but its all a way of masking #he's hiding himself from the world because he's never been allowed to do otherwise #and more importantly #he's never had anyone wish for him to do otherwise #no one has ever tried to know him #until merlin #merlin who loves so incredibly unconditionally #merlin who supports arthur not because he's prince #but because he's human #it changes him #but at heart arthur has always cared #he just didn't know how to show it #didn't know how to fight for it #yeah #that's all I think #arthur pendragon #merlin #bbc merlin #merlin bbc

breaking news: local woman goes to the movie theater and somehow DOESN'T see the mario movie again for the millionth time? who IS she??????

#this APPEARS to be a non-mario related post but stick with me i'll bring it back around in the tags #instead i saw the japanese stage production of spirited away (subtitled) and it was absolutely lovely :) :) :) #i LOVE spirited away (makes me cry every time) and i LOVE theatre and to see how they translated so many incredible sights #from the movie to the stage was delightful #but let me tell you...the mario brainrot runs deep right now and my treacherous thoughts started taking me places #mario spirited away AU?? is that anything?? tragically separated bros fic where luigi is in the chihiro role and mario is in the haku role? #where mario saved his brother's life many years ago but lost his name and memories in the process and was corrupted by bowser's magic #and the experience was so traumatizing that luigi forgot about the other world they found together and has been told for years #that his brother simply drowned in the sewer saving him #and then as an adult luigi finds his way back into the world and has to serve bowser and fight the mushroom kingdom to survive #but at least he's being helped by a strange half-human creature who somehow knows his name without being told. at least there's that #I GOTTA PONDER ON THIS A LITTLE MORE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I'VE GOT SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS #something that hasn't come up yet on this blog but is crucial to one's understanding of me: i LOVE weird AU's #i've never met a weird AU that i couldn't make work somehow. just watch me!!! #and also if you would want to see more elaboration on this let me know lol

even on Tumblr, perhaps especially on Tumblr, I will continue to make my kavetham obsession everyone else's problem. and I endlessly apologize. I can't help this disease

#it's not just about the ship #it's not even the characters as individuals — I am obsessed with both of them individually — but it's not JUST about that #sumeru as a whole just hit different . in ways I kind of expected but still hadn't properly braced myself for #and so kvthm is more than just a good ship to me... #it's a good ship featuring incredibly complex characters that in my humble opinion are good representation from a well-crafted universe #sumeru isn't perfect by any means & genshin's writing leaves much to be desired. however #it resonates with me for the deep attention to detail; the very human and relatable stories of the cast; #and the feeling of being recognized and acknowledged. for the things I am familiar w/ to be portrayed as just as interesting & romantic #as stuff from other cultures. to be acknowledged as not just exotic strange characters; but a group of people who achieve great things #haitham ESPECIALLY represents that to me as a Muslim (although I hate his personality sometimes) #ramblings

oh i'm sorry, i didn't realize we were taking moral standing points from the asura now. y'know. the race that full-hog experimented and ripped apart sylvari even after knowing they were wholly sapient beings (and it wasn't even inquest! it was regular fucking asura! the arcane council most definitely okayed those experiments! never mind the fact that the council TO THIS DAY fucking openly allows inquest to do as they please so long as they don't cause trouble in rata sum) and have done little to nothing to apologize for that fact to their sylvari allies.

but no, you're right, the humans are the worst race in tyria just by way of existing and trying to find a place for themselves. how could i have ever thought different?

#from beyond the grave #hi i'm going to go fucking feral #I'M NOT EVEN A HUGE HUMAN FAN. i have them and i love the ones i do have! but i greatly prefer sylvari as my playable race. #what the FUCK are you talking about #“did everything they can to push other people off their land” are you talking about pushing charr out???? cus uh. #i don't know how to tell you this but the charr STOLE THAT LAND IN THE FIRST PLACE EVEN BEFORE HUMANS #dont even get me started on their HoT take (the One Expansion that anet gave sylvari before forgetting they exist) #and the icebrood one (the charr should have never been the fucking main focus of the goddamn NORN PLOT ANYWAYS) #the “human interference” in icebrood was literally a fucking BLIP amongst the bullshit of the charr getting involved #don't even fucking talk to me about “humans being lynchpins” for icebrood. it should have had NOTHING but NORN LORE. #it was the NORN PLOT. jormag had always been NORN STORY AND PLOT. #“buhbuhbuh humans” I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. THE CHARR SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THERE EITHER #it's extremely telling that you don't care that the charr shouldn't have been there either #and only focused on the .0000000000003 seconds that kas helped in anything related to the plot #while also framing crecia and rytlock's relationship problems throughout as “human-looking” squabbling #god forbid rytlock get some character development where he WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for his kid #(even tho it should've happened in a charr-centric story thread and NOT THE FUCKING NORN ONE ANET) #and every charr in the world is like “but why do you care??” because charr society is so incredibly FUCKED re: their kids #“being attentive to the story” my fucking ass. just say you fucking hate humans as a race and move the fuck on. #i didn't mean to rant this much in the tags but the more i stared at the post the more i felt like biting someone #OH. OH SORRY. i just noticed that #the person was like “lol inquest figured out how to harness elder dragon energy before xunlai <3” #JUHGTFJHKDFJHGLKFD ?????? #okay for one the inquest are a bunch of literal rat bastards who caused a NUCLEAR REACTOR EXPLOSION in metrica #i'm not going to trust a fucking inquest ANYWHERE NEAR ME let alone praise them for “ethical” dragon energy #the “uhm ACKSUALLY S W E A T Y” tone of voice re: canthan tech vs. asuran is asinine and also annoying as fuck #“all of PoF was about humans :(” IT IS LITERALLY. ABOUT A HUMAN GOD? IT IS *THE* HUMAN XPAC. #IT WAS NOT A SURPRISE FOR IT TO BE HUMAN THEMED? WE KNOW ELONA IS H U M A N S ? #yet again. what the FUCK are you even talking about. #OKAY. jesus christ. i think i'm finally done bitching about this.

When the stoic character who never so much as raises his voice properly swears for the first time in the entire series, all while keeping a completely straight face.

#one of my favourite things #also idk but this very short sequence made me laugh more than I had in *weeks* #like- why is this so funny to me #and sidenote but i'm soooo invested in this series and i truly did not think a kdrama abt baseball would grab me like this #because i'm not a sports person at all #but damn am i glad to have started it #because it's legitimately incredible #just masterfully written + acted + filmed #the characters' struggles are so *real* and the way events transpire is so realistic and you truly relate to a lot of it because of that #and the humour and interactions between characters is so natural #they all feel like very real people #i truly feel for all the characters- and i love that even the so-called antagonists are v human and not just ' bad ' - i feel for them too #hot stove league #stove league #kdrama

yknow sometimes i feel like. if fandom was a kindergarten playground i've been spending the past several years just sitting in a corner of the sandbox by myself making my little sand sculptures just for myself to look at and maybe there are other kids who come by to take a peek every once in a while but mostly its just me and my shitty little sand sculptures

and now suddenly i've gotten a lot better at my sand sculptures and the playground is a lot smaller and so there are people who know that im good at making sand sculptures and specifically come by to my corner of the sandbox because they like my sand sculptures and sometimes those people are teachers who walk past and give a thumbs up and tell the other kids to come look and its so. new and cool and exciting but also its so different from anything i've experienced before and im not saying thats bad its just. a lot to get used to. im still not that good at playing with the other kids and i still hate having others be around to watch me make stuff because i've never had that before and i have no idea how to.. do.. a lot of this. but it's okay. i'll learn.

#asto speaks #some thoughts ive been spinning in my head for a while because i would not trade this new community for anything in the world #its just..... im not good at Human Interaction sometimes so i have to figure some stuff out is all #for what its worth a big part of it is also that i have very very few people irl to share art related stuff with #the only people i know irl who know i draw is like... a handful of very close friends who dont.. tend? to be in the same fandoms as me #i mean its also why i love the community a lot because ive gotten more validation for my art in the past few months than the past #what 20 years of my life. 6 years of drawing #but its also like. *creation* has always been something intensely personal for me because ive gotten so used to holding anything i create #incredibly close to my chest. so to speak #which is why i dont post wips. or share a lot of my ideas both because im not much of an ideas person anyway but also like #anything i make has to be neatly wrapped up and packaged before i show it to anyone. idk #im an amoeba and anything i create is just a part of my cytoplasm until im absolutely 100% ready to wrap it up in a vacuole and export it #until then i aint showing you shit. im not giving other people access to my cytoplasm thats my whole ass innards right there

Reading American Gods is like taking a peek into the world’s most toxic and doomed found family trope ever written, where everyone wants you dead but won’t let anyone outside of that lay as much as a fingertip on you. And every single time you go yayyyyy!

#I highly recommend this book if you haven’t read it. #being written in 2001 it is a bit outdated in its language and there are some parts that make me furrow my brow a bit #it’s to be expected. i don’t necessarily go into literature expecting modern purity #least of all when said book is written 22 years ago #but even with those flaws it is so incredibly thoughtful and— dare I say— diverse. Both in characters and experiences. #there’s something touching about a book written with spirituality in mind. Not in an organized way but in a raw and humane way #it’s thought provoking and unique; funny at times too. And the cast is memorable. #I love looking up the new names and terms related to mythology that I learn after finishing a chapter #the way Gaiman managed to modernize certain ancient deities is a type of ingenious #my mom was the one who recommended this book to me after I told her about Who’s Lila; funnily enough. I’m very grateful.

everyone around me falling in love and im so happy for them but it just digs in the very possible reality of me dying alone. i just don't think i'm meant to be loved or wanted romantically in this lifetime. being disabled and a lesbian is so lonely.

#i spend most of my time in pain in bed #idk how i could ever meet someone #or who would ever want me #esp since having to use a wheelchair #the lesbian dating pool in my area is incredibly small already #but it got even smaller since my disabilities worsened #i love friends gushing to me it makes me so happy #just once i wish i could relate tho and have someone want me or fancy me or kiss me #i just dont think it'll happen for me #and it hurts #i get i dont need someone but i am human and want someone #my throat and chest hurts from crying as i type this #being disabled and a lesbian is lonely #i wish sometimes i wasnt me #doubt anyone read this but im sorry if you did #anyways gonna listen to falling behind by laufey and cry some more #kitty blogs

Oh my god yes yes yesyes i love how the sky & ocean are the reason why humans associate blue with vastness and infinite and depth and how they are both so so infinite to us but ONLY from our human scale perspective ? Like the ocean is actually so tiny compared to space. This is crazy. And its like. Infinite towards itself (ocean) and infinite towards outside (sky/space) . I adore your "the vast" tag it's fantastic. The post that is like an itemized list . I need that

RIGHT !!!!! LIKE LOVE THINKING ABOUT THIS..why do we see the ocean and space in the same category in terms of vast-ness .......the ocean is a teeny tiny dot in space !!!!! They are both only huge to us ....but from the perspective of the universe the ocean is basically the same size as us .....

The ocean is like the way there r an infinite amount of decimals between 2 numbers while the sky is the way numbers can go on to infinity negative and positively forever (makes sense to me)

So glad u enjoy vast-ness and infinity and depth and the ocean and the sky as much as me..!! 🌊🌊🌌🌌🌠🌠

#infinite towards itself ...infinite towards outside ..... #asks #also unrelated (somewhat related). but i think it is such a missed opportunity thst we tend to glance over the infiniteness and depth of so #many things that are very vast besides the sky snd sea #like.... anything is vast in one way or another. everything around us is huuuge !!!! we just tend not to think of it i think. ..... #there is just. so much of everything in the world. the amount of species of animals there are on earth. the hairs on our heads. #the way we can never accurately map out a coastline because we'll keep having to remeasure the coastline to be more and more specific so #the length is paradoxically immense #everything in our world is immense if you think about it....how many bacteria are in our bodies right now ??!!!!! #everything in our world is so huge if you just open up your definition of hugeness a bit more ... #i do think the way humans think of ''big'' as being blue because of the sky and ocean and that sort of being our biggest definers for #vastness to be cute tho ....look at us ... associating colors with certain elements of our existence... #love the way the ocean and space are like ...grouped together so much #def think more things should be included on our thoughts of infinity and vastness though ...like all the knowledge there is #is incredibly vast ...the human mind is incredibly vast etc ...! #the vast #love getting to see ur ocean era btw. love getting to see all ur art and thoughts about it and seeing u rb tons of ocean stuff #m #also...i love how our view on the color blue and whether or not its big changes depending on the perspective we're looking at #as humans. our sky and our oceans are blue and immense. but when talking about the universe...we are a tiny blue dot !!! #from our perspective we talk about blue things as really big...but when we turn to bigger perspectives we turn to talking about blue as #really small. because we are really smaaaalll !!! #love how perspective affects our language..
