case study of the self-identified god

#obsessed with the fact that rain world is a game about survival #yet every character we meet has the express goal of trying to optimize killing themselves #every creature in game seems perfectly content fulfilling their role in the ecosystem no matter how many cycles they do the same thing #(rly obvious with gourmand's entire route. guy who lives their life to the fullest without the slightest hint of resentment) #it was really only the ancients who thought they were above it and thought of it as something to escape from #5pebbles is so interesting because the only reason hes “”“godlike”“” is because of his vast knowledge. if he was in any slugcats shoes he #would die instantly which is ironically what hes been trying to do this whole time #this comic was kind of exploring the idea of awareness (divinity) as something that drags down ones enjoyment of life (walking). #if 5p would humble himself down enough to walk around like any other creature #he would a) be much happier in life and b) achieve the ascension he's been gunning for for millennia like all the slugcats did #but he never will. #getting rid of all his work on the problem or even his awareness of it entirely #would just be a trick of convenience that steals away his godhood #and him calling himself godlike is kind of a cope LOL #a cope being faced with a problem he was never meant to solve #a cope being faced with what he did to moon #a cope being faced with the rot inside him #oh well. #anyway fuck 5 pebbles i hate that guy #rain world #rain world fanart #rw five pebbles #rain world five pebbles #rw gourmand #rain world gourmand #five pebbles #rain world void worm #rain world ancients #also JUST KIDDING ilu 5p. you suck but i💛u

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang fengmian #yu ziyuan #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #Almost axed this comic but then I remembered I cut the previous argument between them and I guess they can have this. #and by 'this' I mean their toxic arranged marriage verbal battles. #As I previously mentioned in a comic I have chosen to see them as mlm and wlw in an unfulfilled relationship. #The yearning is for companionship. I think they do care for each other it's just something deeply complicated. And bitter. #I truly feel for JC and WWX in this scene because while it's implied YZY really pushes the limit...it's apparent this isn't new. #And it's so petty! Anyone who lived through a parent pitting you against a sibling can tell you that this stuff messed them up #regardless of what side you were on (the golden one or the fuck up). #It doesn't matter what is said. It matters that it was said at all. That you can't shake the concept once it was spoken. #The Jiang household is so much more miserable the deeper you examine what's going on and how they cope with it. #Knowing that a parent does not like you is just awful. I wish everyone who's been through it all the best. You didn't deserve that. #Next update is back to the jokes! Remember jokes? It jingled merrily...How I miss the sound of those bells...

I AM EMOTIONALLY UNWELL.

what did it do to hua cheng psychologically to keep killing qi rong i wonder. just cause he looks so similar to xie lian. maybe that's a part of why he hates qi rong so much.

#hua cheng seething and coping because qi rong is the closest thing he has to xie lian but he fucking HATES that guy #yin yu: why do you keep specifically seeking out a wrath you find disgusting? hua cheng: how about we stop talking for a little while #the personal vendetta.. yeah #i think its a bit more complicated though #i speak #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #qi rong #hua cheng #hualian #xie lian #xianle #heaven official's blessing #hob #tgcf meta

Honestly sometimes when reading posts ppl make on here it feels like ppl forget autism is a disability and it. Yknow. Disables you.

#its more than just stimming and having a special interest or whateverrr #and while i love and appreciate that part of autism i rarely see any acknowledgement of like. other aspects of it #qmd when i do its in relation to allistics bringing it up #i have meltdowns. i had one tonight. #the only tkme people fucking talk about them is when allistic moms post their kids having meltdowns onto facebook #them doing that is bad. obviously. #but we can say more about them. we should give and share advice on how to cope with them more. #whatever #autism #actually autistic #neurodivergent #ok 2 rb #i guess.

friendly reminder that plurality is caused by trauma. trauma is defined as an event that has a severe negative impact on oneself. there are going to be dark parts of plurality that no one wants to talk about. the brain created you to cope with what it went through. it's okay to have parts (or wholes) that have “twisted” desires, attractions, innerworld or external relationships, sexual or emotional needs, etc. other people might call you disgusting, evil, immoral, but it's just part of being traumatized. it's going to be unpleasant or unsightly.

not to foxpost on the foxblog but I think we should all talk more about the cognitive dissonance that the GAR, and the Guard specifically, would have to deal with on an ongoing basis. they're brought up and had it drilled into them for a decade straight that the Republic is worth fighting and dying for, that it stands for justice and freedom and [insert patriotic buzzwords here]. they get deployed directly into a slaughter on Geonosis. they get assigned to Jedi who intentionally get them killed. they get assigned to the Guard and listen to Senators treat the war like an abstract, distant concept and the clones like equipment to be manufactured/replaced/disposed of. they're treated as subhuman by civilians. they're slaves in this system that was built up to be a shining star, a perfect example of democracy, the thing they're born to die for.

so what do you get. indoctrinated beliefs versus lived experience. sure, some of them turn (Slick) or desert (Cut), but most of them have to reconcile that conflict without walking away from the army altogether. Dogma is one end of the spectrum, going the route of "my indoctrinated beliefs must be true, so I'll selectively validate parts of my lived experience to align with them and seek out proof of them". Fives is, on Umbara at least, the opposite end, going the route of "my lived experience must be true, so I'll recontextualize my indoctrinated beliefs to match it". the Republic is still worth everything, but maybe we can't trust the Jedi, or the Kaminoans, or the Chancellor.

but the majority of them are going to fall closer to Dogma, otherwise the GAR would stop functioning or try to collectively rebel, right? it's easy to skirt around how deep brainwashing runs and how far people will go to resolve dissonance, but fmngmfng

so you take Fox in the context of Commander of the Guard, and you get "the Republic must still be worth it, so these rules and regs are in place for a reason, and even if they're not then they do work to protect us, and the Senate is doing its best with a bad situation, and the Chancellor wouldn't commit xyz atrocity because he is the Republic" and on and on and on to try to reconcile it all in his poor fucked up brain. how would he carry on with the slog of his job? how could he possibly have the space to wrestle with the contradiction? then the longer you lean into one justification, the deeper it sinks in and reinforces itself

anyway this has been needless over-analysis hour

#commander fox #YES i do think fox gets increasingly suspicious of palpatine. especially at the end #but i also think that goes hand in hand with fox starting to fray #he never fully falls apart but surely he would start to buckle under the strain of Everything plus losing faith #that does fucked up shit to the brain #hfdgfb #and it's not like he can't fit Overprotective Of The Guard into this mental framework #fox is going through it in my head can you tell. what is his story if not a cycle of tragedy and being forced to carry on #how do you cope #you convince yourself that there's a purpose #he's so complicated. the guard is such a complicated post. no one look at me #foxposting #i saw a harebrained fox take so i had to speak my truth (<- through gritted teeth) #aheem #leo.txt #apparently i also hit 400 followers so here's what you get kasnkdbdjd

@naffeclipse since I never bothered to explain (and also will not do that in the future) how my modern day self insert actually ended up in the SJ-verse, here's an imagined menace4menace speedrun <3

*self insert is not a girl (he/ she)

Also throwing this silly character sheet out there with this because why not

#post let luce #dcamv #bloodstain fool #naffeclipse #my art #menace4menace #so i slept like 4 hours and my way of coping was “lets animate” #the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma. even to me #spite and gay audacity made me do the animation in six hours #which did include frantic clicking back and forth to figure out how to copy paste stuff onto animation cels #i ended up googling the solution <3 right click “create folder and insert layer” my beloved <3 #and yeah the character sheet i finished a couple days ago #but. its not that serious lmao like this is in no way some sorta. sub au or smth. its just me fucking around #but yes. fun sunday i animated <3

If you look at Tsuruno's hair real close, he's like a cat that got a patch shaved off at the vet's...

#this era of gojo is defined by using thirst traps as a coping mechanism #hey how many times are you going to draw him shirtle- #I'LL DO IT UNTIL I FEEL SOMETHING BESIDES TREPIDATION DAMMIT 😭 #the transgender song by crystal castles slaps so fucking hard #but when i die i gotta ask the cosmos how many times i listened to it while playing Minecraft that almost 2 years later it still reminds me #of that time i went like 10k chunks from spawn on the server and lived in a random village i found #trading wheat and gathering emeralds to purchase enchantments from the librarian #for a month basically. #eveyone else was busy accumulating resources to beat the ender dragon #and i was too but i was gonna be very cozy game about it.
