#isolation state

[paradyxm]

if you get mad at palestinians for asking you your opinion on zionism maybe develop the capacity to look past your own perspective and understand that knowing that information is for our safety and it can be difficult to trust a lot of people when you do not know if they have any level of solidarity with you

#you do not understand how isolating it is <3 #palestine #especially when you live in a place like the united states

wolbert week day 1 - ghost

#wolbertweek2023 #Ardbert #warrior of light #fanart #speedpaint #i draw sometimes #Final Fantasy XIV #getting across the um. game canon? state of things is way harder with art alone hence why i usually settle for Not That #but i do like the thought of the wol living for them both + he can feel some part of the weight of complete isolation for a century #but also ardbert's relief at not being alone anymore. and they are together and know how much it means for them both. #so even if ardbert is not really Tangible for him anymore it's still. good and important. yknow? #...honestly no clue what it is abt them that makes me want to see things in brighter colours but there you have it

You won't see the Once-ler. Don't knock at his door.

He stays in his Lerkim on top of his store

Something I think ought to be more readily-available and encouraged is simply... taking parental classes. I wish it were more common for people to realize just how hard - and important - parenting is, and indeed, that we all could use help with taking care of young folk. It's really alarming that popular opinion is still that parental classes are only for the "fuck-up" parents, or the parents who utterly failed. It should be seen as a good thing to take parental classes - especially on your own volition. It should be seen as imperative for one to take them, it should be a free, accurate, and scheduled occurrence so that people of any background are able to attend.

#politics #parenting #i might have posted something like this before but who knows. certainly not me (the blogger) #of course some cities and states in the USA for instance will have programs like this but it's not.. across the board from what i understand #my city has a few free parenting classes for really any parent and i am really happy to hear that #my dad talks about the classes he took and most of them are geared toward fathers (the classes he takes). i think that's a great thing #i wish that was more common when i was a kid. when i'm older you bet i'm taking advantage of parenting classes <3 #even if i have no children i won't be child-free unless i live in isolation. i want to treat them well #i would be devastated if a kid were to have a horrible experience around me because i was an asshole or i was uncompassionate or ignorant #the overall message i got as a kid was that parenting classes were a punishment for the fuck-up parents and THAT is fucked up to me #the idea that parenting is simultaneously natural AND that you're Always Correct and Never Wrong is dangerous at best #like i bet my abuser thought they were a good adult to me and that i was just a fucked-up *child*

Absolutely obsessed this evening with the European nations trying to rank themselves in order of precedence as the Pope did in 1504 and imagining which nations in particular would have absolutely rankled at their placement and who was above them:

Spain and France forever switching places in the 16th century depending on how fat the Habsburgs were at that moment, the argument of France being the eldest daughter of the church and yet unable to ever get a leg up on the Holy Roman Empire, and England arguing that they should be equal to Portugal were all rejected.

Became moot following the Reformation ofc, but even now, I bet some of them still get into stinking arguments about something as benign as who gets to enter a room first.

#it just sort of shows how England and Scotland were oddly favoured by the papacy despite the isolation - like if you asked me why #the Stewarts were considered more senior than the Jagiellons I could not say aside from the former being *slightly* older... like I dunno! #I'm sure there's a logical reason but it's wild to me #also lol brandenburg being one step above austria #op #hetalia #headcanon #Arthur: I'm the same as Francis #The Pope and Francis: Lol no #Arthur: :( but you gave me a nice title too :( #the list keeps going btw listing the italian states... and the pope's nephew #a mighty nation indeed

so one character got to learn how to live again, how to reenter society after traumatizing event that will forever impact his life, got to heal and rebuild his relationship with his family even estranged father, reconnected with his old friends and was able to create reliable support system of people that also grew throughout this healing process and now can understand him more and be there for him, got to graduate and start his own business and now can even give inspirational speeches to help others

and the other one had to leave two closest people to him that were his only support after his family death bc 'friends' he had before weren't type of people worth reconnecting with, move out of his country abandoning everything he knew his whole life just to * checks notes * start a job he didn't really want and the main reason he needed higher pay was to establish financial stability for one of two people who he had to leave and that no longer wanted to be with him

okay yea okay sure both cases are about personal 'growth'

#last twilight #to clarify it's more about time skip and the talk at the end of part 2 bc yea ofc mhok also changed throughout whole series in general #the fact that 'growth' for mhok was equal to getting a job just doesn't sit well with me #his sister killed herself bc of their financial problems and then they put sole responsibility on him for providing for himself and day #and it felt like it was about more than just day's disability #like ironically his mechanic friend offered more support and understanding than most of the other characters #what kind of 'growth' is uprooting yourself and leaving everyone behind when you are still in vulnerable state and need someone to rely on #it would make sense in other story with other character but here it just hurts #i do have some other problems with the series as a whole but nothing that wasn't said already #everyone is angry at part 4 but end of part 2 was the breaking point for me #moving out for work is extremely lonely and alienating experience especially when it's not even to a country you particularly care about #what is the lesson here with mhok's plot line? #to completely isolate yourself to heal from your trauma somehow without anyone close to you? #and oh yea job being the most important thing for 'personal growth' actually? #in hotel in hawaii nonetheless... #i'm getting so tired of these series not being able to stick the landing fr

Your post about loving to study the beauty of the human body as well as wanting to love someone male while also be them is something I've been feeling for the past few years tbh but I've never heard someone put it in the exact words I use before. I think it's also because when it comes to topics like that I also feel embarrassed trying to explain a melded and complicated but beautiful emotion that doesn't have a word for it other than imagery in my mind

Sorry for the random soul post in your inbox but I get you! And that makes me happy

Also you're art is very cool and holds the very idea of human warmth and love within keep it up

responding to the compliment first, thank you!!!

as for the rest, yes! In the past I've definitely understood "love someone so much you want to crawl into them because hugging and physical intimacy isn't enough" as well as the usual "do i wanna fuck them or be them 🤪" sentiment floating around,

but it's not until very recently that I pieced together the, "well, what would I do if I literally got my hands on another [human being]. I'm not sure it would be enough to just Behold a [beautiful human being], I also want to be a beautiful [human being], but in the way this [person] is, which is. Unlike the way I am. Different from how I am. (In the many ways that can be interpreted)."

Which is adjacent to the "crawling into them", and adjacent to wishing I could be desired in the same way that I desire, and then directly connected to the way I am being genuine and casual when I say I love looking at and am in awe of the human form, but it's so very easy for that genuine love to slip into that intense and strange enthusiasm to map out, touch, explore, examine, open, crawl, meld, Be. Be!

#skunk mail #Anonymous #(all metaphorical of course; im not chopping anyone to pieces) #<- also actually saying this genuinely and not in a sneaky sarcastic way #im not chopping anyone to pieces AND i understand healthy boundaries. i obvs wouldnt actually just get weird with somebody #in such a vulnerable state. its meant more playful. you are human im human i dont feel human i want to be human #i want to touch you human i want to be you human. human like you. not human like me. #is it enough to admire you when i so badly want to be a human of your appearance...in some ways general and some ways specific... #...your usage of the word ''male'' also rings true. for some of this. augh. #long post #long ask #Another way to describe it is: I have made many posts about my feeling of isolation from my alleged hobbies... #it's never enough to just collect beautiful art from others or marvel at someone's skilled Print Making #How do you just admire? I want to do it too. I want to do it too. #and also i am looking back and forth from the dynamic with talon wrt these sentiments #scratching my neck and looking nervous #🌺

[swear2g-d]

i think life would be more enjoyable if i had someone to go on walks with

#listen. i love alone time as much as the next girl but it's starting to just become isolation #all my friends are in different states and i am So Lonely

A couple Bismuth sketches. Mr. Ghoul, you are so pretty.

#the band ghost #ghost bc #ghost oc #ghoul oc #ghart #ghost fanart #ghost ghoul #if you think he looks like he'd give good hugs #you are correct #Bismuth crystals are known for not only being very grounding #but helping with feelings of isolation. As well as dispelling catatonic states #although he appears aloof and stoic on the surface #he's incredibly helpful in a team setting and a supportive companion #Bismuth facts <3 #the band ghost fanart #ghcstcd

I know Another Day isn't canon these are different versions of the characters etc etc but I still find it interesting that both Joshua and Minamimoto are generally kinder, more tolerant people in a world where Joshua has a place in the RG where he can go to be a normal kid for a little while and Sho has a non-destructive creative outlet and positive relationships with the people around him

#listen LISTEN. The AD!cast arent wildly different people. their situations have just changed #kariya is still laid back and work-adverse. uzuki is still tempermental. #megumi talks about how tin pin is a metaphore for society so hes. himself. #joshua outright states that AD is simply a divergent path. this is what they COULD HAVE BEEN had circumstances been different #so i find it really sad just how little these two needed to be so much more content #joshua needed a means of connection. even something as simple as writing a column in a magazine was enough #he wasnt isolated anymore. it was a stabilizing force in his life that prevented him from withdrawing and becoming disillusioned #with Shibuya and the people in it. Tin Pin let him be a normal kid for a while. #Sho needed a positive parental figure to keep him on the right path. someone who could find him a healthy outlet for his energy/creativity #In that way Ken Doi is the complete opposite to Hanekoma. he had his reasons but ultimately he was a deadly enabler #and Sho paid the price #AUGH #twewy #sho minamimoto #joshua kiryu

more ONEs except theyre mostly my thoughts on max (whistle) and julien (toothpaste) and their tragedy

#hfjone #julien hfjone #max hfjone #like when you think about it #juliens fate is like a horror story #you think about stories about social isolation #and how the people who have endured it #have suffered terribly #and julien has been in that state for years #anyways #v.png

no but why utah of all states. out of all 50 options it is objectively one of the worst you could choose, and that's saying something, because texas is also an option. like 70% of its population are cult members, and the only notable thing about utah is that it has those cult members. their strip clubs are lame. like, LAME. need i say more.

#tho tbf they’re lame bc the state gov’t is so strict no hate to the girls who work those clubs it’s not y’all’s fault </3 #they hand out bar licenses (needed to sell liquor) once a day on a good day #mormonism mention #leaving christian/catholic churches is also very difficult #but the sheer codependency isolation and conditioning the mormon church does makes them seem mild. #dream smp #mcyt #dsmp #wilbur soot

two episodes of nervous crying your brains out for longer than one hour in the span of three days were not in my bingo card for 2024 when I graduated ten years ago and I would like to frankly get the fuck over myself

#personal for ts #one day i’ll be able to put into words #the absolutely hateful feeling of thinking you got over your shit #and then finding out that NOT ONLY you aren’t #but KNOWING you’re falling back into shitty coping mechanisms you STILL let it happen #honestly my self loathing is off the roof because fifteen years ago i didn’t know i was shitty coping #now i KNOW i am and guess what here i am doing the whole isolating myself and forgetting to reply to ppl song and dance #christ i thought i was okay with handling that kinda shit guess not #and yeah ofc i need to fix it for myself but this time is so much worse i’m just #my kingdom for waking up one morning and feeling some level of mental clarity #and for some goddamned financial stability #and for the force of will to keep the house tidy enough that i dont feel sad just looking at the state of the living room #guys also honestly sorry if i forgot to reply to your ask or pm or anything i’ll get to it at some point #i swear i’m not ignoring people on purpose i’m just completely overwhelmed sigh

i’ve been pretty quiet on here and avoiding my activity and dms these last few weeks because october was easily one of the worst months i’ve had in a very long time and i lost my family dog of seventeen years and had a medical scare for not only myself but my cat and just all these things happened at once that felt incredibly hard to bounce back from mentally… but aside from being sick atm things are starting to get better for me and my family so hopefully i can actually start being. normal. again soon 🧎

#river dipping #i don’t think i get personal on here very often just bc. the pd. um #but i figured i should say something bc my avoidant personality disorder is uhhhhhhhh #certainly Avoiding. #i’m so sorry if you’ve messaged me or @ed me or just tried interacting in any way #ik i wrote in my pinned navigation that yea i take breaks and avoid my activity and it’s nothing personal #but i still just wanted to reiterate it #i tend to keep notifications off for tumblr and my activity and everything like i only ever check when i’m mentally prepared for the State #my brain goes into when interacting with people #it’s not that i’m ignoring you!! my brain is just. very bad. #and i have a lot of trouble actually replying #especially in private messages #i’m much more comfortable talking publically which is why discord is so not for me 😭 #i really have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone a lot this past year and it’s certainly helped a ton #but still. it’s a disorder i’ve had my whole life so 🤷 it’s still sticking around ykwim #so i’m sorry 😔 but i’m also incredibly thankful toward everyone who’s taken the time to talk to me and interact with me and just thought of #me in general even when i’ve been so isolated recently #ummmm but on the bright side i moved out finally and am at a place that isn’t gonna poison my brain anymore so ‼️ #it took a few horrible days for my pets to get used to the house but things are fine now and i’ve set up my room and am :) doing better #surprisingly my panic disorder has been absent since the move… which is very weird for me #i fr think my previous place might actually have been poisoning me like i’m serious #……..i might delete this post in a bit if i start feeling too crazy abt being vulnerable lmao. um. #but for the people that’re online rn! my beloved friends and lovers yk #there’s my little update

smth smth.... dai survived the corruption arc completely, utterly uncorrupted. id love to give ppl a muse to potentially tempt and make worse for fun(tm) but it just doesn't work with daisuke literally at all. whatsoever. this is a boy who briefly goes through the experience of having everyone he loved and cared for brutally reject or spurn him for one thing or another in an attempt to get him to feel bitterness and hatred, but it doesn't work. he's someone who says that if it was really better if he were gone or didn't exist, then it 'can't be helped,' and that all that really mattered to him was that the people he cared for were happy, whether or not he was even there with them. dai lives his life as an underdog and social outcast (loser) that nobody really respects and readily gets made fun of but he never holds it against anyone, he just wants to change himself. no matter how wimpy dai might seem just like dark his sense of independence (alongside his actually very determined sense of responsibility) and even more strikingly the sheer force of agape he has for everything makes it impossible to ever get him to be bitter or violent. he's an immovable wall to any unstoppable (corrupting) force; even if he doesn't positively influence anybody, he can't be negatively influenced himself!

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT. #reference. #like. killing or injuring him aside the worst it ever gets is state of neutrality. kjlajgkjkfj stalemate! #but the lonely aspect to his character- dark's shadow and isolation #is also something that v much pushes dai to reach out more too #he can easily sympathize with outcast/monster groups #like. he's In There #thanks to/with dark #dai just never snaps

Fargo is a fantastic show and there’s been a lot of moments that have left me stunned, astonished, thrilled, chilled, absolutely blown-away, but bitch…………...I’m telling you…………..in 5 seasons, nothing has ever gotten me to a state of white-knuckled, gripping the chair, shock and awe…………………like that cover of Toxic……………

#I swear I literally gasped and gripped my recliner and my mouth dropped open and stayed there like a cartoon idiot that whole scene #(and yeah the moody atmosphere of the scene itself excellently conveyed the futile circumstances #of being a woman in the clutches of a man’s bruised ego and first brush with consequences #drawing out what we know is coming as Roy walks to that shack and we’re close up on him the whole way #not to attempt to make us the audience empathize with him but to isolate us with the fragile state of his self-worth as his humiliation #makes his abusing women and Dot in particular shed its skin its declarations of justice and faith in god #and show it for what it is: hate and fear and weakness and other things I wanna get into but wont #like yeah that was all good or whatever too) #but BABY CANT YOU SEE……..I’M FALLIIIINN………… #fargo fx #fargo s5 #fargo s5e8
