this show's whole cishet YA cliché notwithstanding, I cannot pretend I am not an absolute sucker for the vampire trope of being obsessed with a certain human and through this agonisingly on the brink of being unable to control your hunger around them in particular

Every morning the maple leaves. Every morning another chapter where the hero shifts from one foot to the other. Every morning the same big and little words all spelling out desire, all spelling out. You will be alone always and then you will die.
Twelveclara + “Litany in which certain things are crossed out “ by Richard Siken.
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

"I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" except tracing patterns between my recurring favourite character types has ended with me being pepe silvia as I slowly come to the realization that all the awful weak parts of me are apparently interconnected in ways I havent fully grasped yet
It is. Occurring to me. That I have an extremely fucked up relationship with the notion of consent??? Like not just in a sexy way but also in an everyday normal general way. And this is related to dissociation as a coping mechanism but also dissociation as something I often find comforting, in a way. Which is linked to my desperate need for control and my obsessive freak behaviours (à la ocd and need for certainty) but also how desperately tired I am of being in control and how I want nothing more than to just let go entirely and let someone else be in charge. Which ofc doesn't work because there's no scenario in which I can be forced to give up control entirely, nor is there anyone I actually would fully wholly trust in that level of complete and utter control. Which ofc I guess also links to my god as lover thing, in a way, BC this is all probably applicable in a divine way and in an everyday way and in a sexy way, what do I know. But also my deep awful need to be cared for instead of caretaking, which again circles back to trust, and also issues of obedience and people pleasing and submission to duty. And how the servitude of people pleasing can be both comforting and full of ecstasy because I still have a 'use' and that use is the purpose (y'know like. The Clarified in Baru Cormorant. I'm not looking at it, I refuse to acknowledge it), but it's also a defense mechanism and a habit born out of self preservation and fear and something I hate doing and hate about myself. And how can it be both those things, which brings us back to consent. Personhood????
I'm. Hm.
Normally this is smthn I would say hey we should journal and keep ur thoughts to urself but also we never ever acknowledge or talk about this stuff ever and I feel like an unwell little freak who is fundamentally shattered in ways I am only beginning to understand and I'm just!!! Oh!! Oh i am realizing things and I don't know if that's good or not. And why don't we talk about these things in non therapy ways I am going insane in my own head

Listening to Dooku Jedi Lost and absolutely ENAMORED of dooku having A Bad Time as a member of the Jedi council and Rael, completely earnestly and gently has the, “dad, I’m real worried about you being lonely, maybe you should get a dog” conversation with him. And Dooku just TAKES IT GRACIOUSLY. And earnestly thinks, “hm. Maybe I should get another pet” (he’s a bird guy canonically) before going, “no, actually, I think I’ll just turn to the dark side and become an evil count.” Truly the guy of all time.

the truth, the unfortunate truth, is jezebel wants to love and be loved. when she's with someone - sleeping with them, doting on them, buying them things - it frustrates her so deeply that she just can't love them the way she wants to. she doesn't know what's missing, what makes it different. it's not that she's incapable - she's been in love before. she can be in love, but most people don't inspire it, even if she's happy to dote on and adore them like she's madly in love. this spills over into friendships, familial dynamics. she can go through all the motions, do everything right and still feel empty.
