bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️

#silvacre #suranne jones #rose leslie #vigil #the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :) #i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement) #which makes an s3 at least a possibility #if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for #i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back #the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying #if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues #i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again #s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1 #on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship) #at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part #anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy #and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise) #keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you #queue

Bungou Stray Dogs fans watching s5 ep 11:

#though i IMPLORE anime onlys to read the manga bc the anime did change a lot (read: every scene where atsushi and akutagawa interact) #and dazai getting shot scene is quite changed as well #it might seem like a lot to read but it's really easy to binge imo. and 1000% worth it #and they FUNDAMENTALLY changed Akutagawa's death btw #they completely and horrifically changed the entire sskk vs fukuchi fight. the fight is a lot less action focused in the manga #and is more inclined towards emotionally and psychologically damaging the reader #akutagawa's death is incredibly important in the manga. and if he's not your favorite‚ the manga is STILL better with every other character #anyway. ep 11 will bring us all together as anime onlys. #bsd #bungou stray dogs #sskk #skk #shin soukoku #soukoku #dazai osamu #bsd dazai #akutagawa ryuunosuke #bsd akutagawa #chuuya nakahara #atsushi nakajima #ranpoe #bsd fyodor #fyolai #sigma bungou stray dogs #bsd sigma #I'm in the trenches with these tags #akuatsu #atsuaku #a.txt

The lights out au is the first au in a while to peak my interest : O

I gotta know, why is Sally evil and what does she do?

Also how's Barnaby doing? <: (

im Delighted to hear that!! (also hi! your laughingstock art is adorable!)

Sally isn't really evil per se... she's just sleepwalking! while having mild to intense nightmares! most of the time she just sleeps in her house, but once per day she takes a walk - a "patrol" - around the neighborhood before going back to sleep. every so often she wakes up Extra agitated, and needs to be soothed to sleep or she'll get destructive. in general, though, Nightlight!Sally just patrols and attacks anything that makes noise until it goes Quiet again

and Barnaby! well! he's having the most wonderful dreams <3

#they're both very sleepy puppets #very Whee-Snaw Snork Mimimi Snzz yk yk #yeah barn's arm is Temporarily Not Part Of Him but he's not awake to notice or care <3 #and well. hm. also it depends on which part of the au we're talking about #(most of) part one? sleepies #part two & onwards? barnaby is having a bad fucking time! emotionally! psychologically! situationally! #sally is also having a Very bad time! everyone has it rough for a While! #things have to get monumentally Worse before it starts to improve!! #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #and i will say it now: barnaby survives. so does sally. whether they like it or not #but before all that! #good dreams! #unless you're sally! then good dreams interspersed with Terrible Nightmares! #in my mind barnaby's dream is him lounging in tree's shade during perfect weather. smoking his favorite tobacco <3

[emerges from the ether covered in blood and gore] just finished assassin’s fate

#actually was just screaming about it in discord #but in short #fitzloved is real #but christ it had a body count #it took fitz 60 years and emotionally damaging all his kids to admit he couldn’t exist without beloved #beloved had to be psychologically manipulated by fitz’s daughter who hates him to realize what it feels like to be left behind #and that’s romance baby! #roteblogging #assassin’s fate

Listening to instrumentals from the silly doo-wee-ooo show is actually something that can be so painful.

#doctor who #doctor who music #murray gold #segun akinola #musings about music #this is specifically about 10's theme in vale decem. the long song in 11's regen piece. and clara's theme in face the raven / clara's diner #i get psychic damage everytime i simply hear the use of the motifs elsewhere because of the tragic associations those sadder renditions hav #obviously these songs aren't the only examples in doctor who but they are by far the most emotionally devastating ones for me personally #and obviously it isn't just leitmotifs either. basically hearing any piece that played during a sad scene gets to me. #how are you supposed to explain to your coworkers that you're tearing up because of instrumental sound association? #'yeah sorry these violins and humming sounds summoned vivid images of my favourite character dying/leaving and it made me sad' #love that composers can just straight up pavlov bell your emotions by getting you to associate a melody with a sad scene #an addition to this is doctor who instrumentals that make me nostalgic because I associate them with my own past #like 'this is gallifrey: our childhood. our home'. that song was one of my alarms for a good long while back when i was 15ish #so it kinda transports me back to that time in my life whenever i hear it. music really is its own little kind of time travel #i am very much looking forward to the continuing psychological damage murray gold will inflict upon me in the new season #and to have previously uplifting character leitmotifs used against me and forever be contaminated with sad feelings. love to see it #(also: not a instrumental but damn 'the stowaway' has no right being as good as it is. who knew a christmas sea shanty could sound so great #apologies for this probably niche-ish post (is it niche to know ost title's by heart? asking for friend). just feeling things about music

disabled vegas is the most important vegas to me.

#i don't feel like elaborating in detail right now #but i feel that so much of the crunchiness of post-canon vegas is not just in the overt psychological ramifications #(losing his dad losing his position having an uncertain future) #but also in the reality of navigating life as someone who was once in peak physical condition #and now is no longer capable of doing almost anything that was second nature before #emotionally mentally physically all of this would drastically alter who he is as a person #i do wish the show had treated injuries with more care bc of this #(like pete's hand scar. how does that affect his grip strength or his capabilities in the field) #it's one of the most fascinating aspects to me and i love when people indulge in that side of the characterization

[fatheroffdensen]

at first i felt kinda weird about the 'dethklok hate church' clip bcuz of how theyre portraying toki and it was just surprising is all but i actually think it's a really good thing to be portraying an 'ugly' aspect of trauma and mental health in a more mainstream media and in a way that doesn't glamorize nor shame it. like yes it will be tough for loved ones to deal with but they're still patient and ohh my god i literally cannot fucking wait to see army of the doomstar and how toki's gonna be handled. ohghghr my god. brendon is such a guy.

#just smoked. a lot #sorry if this is incomprehensible #like it makes you sad to see toki like that but it acknowledges the reality of trauma #even if it's a 'cartoon' it handles this trauma in a real way #he wouldn't be just fine and they couldn't just move on from that #the way a lot of other cartoons would handle that!! #and i've never honestly seen a piece of media properly handle the emotional (or entirely mental in toki's case) regression after a (cont) #big trauma. and that's so fucking real. #skwisgaar giving off the vibes of an angsty 14 yr old really hit me #emotional maturity is a fluctuating thing sometimes especially after life changing shit. #gfdkjhjkfdshjkfdsjk im so fucking excited #brendon studies psychology for fucking sure. #or he's just a very emotionally in-touch and smart guy which is also true #metalocalypse is lowkey my little pony for 2000s metalheads

It's 100% true that the Roy siblings did not choose to be Logan's children and Tom and Greg and the old guard did choose to work for him so their relationships to Logan are fundamentally different, and the degree of culpability they bear for their own moral degradation is also wildly different. But workplace emotional abuse is also very real and omnipresent in the way Logan treats the people who work for him. And one of the impacts of workplace emotional abuse is creating an extreme attachment to the abuser and becoming less cognizant and even defensive of their abuse towards yourself and others, and in cases where the emotional abuse is institutionalized and systemic it can also create a strong aversion to leaving because your whole sense of personal identity becomes wrapped up in the organization and so being forced to leave can cause an intense psychological crisis. I don't think the situation of working for Logan is at all equivalent to being his child but I also think that it's a bit misguided to imply that Tom and Gerri and Frank and Karl are operating from a place of pure rationality without any undue psychological influences when they make the choice to stay with and support Logan

#used to work at a place that had an extremely emotionally abusive president for years and years and the people who worked there long term #were FUCKED UP. it was wild #i think it's easy to overlook that on succ bc it's very secondary to whats going on with the roy family proper. as it should be #but I also think one of the questions succ explores in tom as a character (and others) is how difficult it can be to leave these situations #even if you did choose to get into them #I don't think 'tom can leave at any time' is really a fair assessment bc technically yes. but practically? psychologically? #like yes he bears responsibility for getting himself into this situation due to his own greed and selfishness in a way the roy kids do not #but that doesn't mean it's easy or straightforward to walk away #also. tom is married to shiv which places him in the unique position where the only way to walk away is to cut off both his wife #and the company he's spent his whole life at #he could have NOT married shiv this is very true. and I think the choice to marry her even after she lied to him about sleeping with nate #means that he did have some idea of what he was getting into. he knew this was not going to be the fairytale marriage he wanted #he already knew about cruises too. he knew waystar was corrupt #that moment was the opportunity to walk away and he did NOT take it #and that is on him #but that does not making walking away now any easier

why is my family like succession but without the money?

#I mean if we’re all going to be emotionally abuse each other it might as well be for a financial gain #like what’s the ‘intellectual driven family’ narrative going to do? #hold respect in society? #what fucking society? #what are you going off on? #like literally what’s the fucking point? #emotional abuse #mother wound #daddy issues #etc etc #is there one for granddaddy issues as well? #cats rants #if I’m Shiv Roy so are my sisters #so fucking weird that the most well adjusted for all of us lmao #but that’s trickle down patriarchy for you #the other brother is a psychological experiment lab rat though so I guess that cancels it out #succession #*most well adjusted is our brother

hm. so the phrase "as above, so below" has a couple related meanings: a) what happens in the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm, b) what happens in a higher plane of existence also happens in the lower one, c) the microcosm is affected by the microcosm

all of this means pretty much the same thing: the below echoes the above

so, may i ask, what the Fuck is the bigger side to the so-below image? what is the above to Wally's dark below?

#no fear: so-below #Big fear: there's an as-above companion we havent seen yet and its probably fucked to hell and back #bc if wallys in the dark and it looks like a very scared Bloody dark #what in the actual Hell is happening in the above? #im assuming the above - the 'higher realm' - is the real world aka the humans world #what happened what happened What Happened #if we get an as-above in the update im going to Lose My Absolute Marbles #in a good way! gonna go fucking insane! gonna eat drywall! #so-below currently has the vibes of '*touches the ground* something happened here...' #i have a feeling we're eventually gonna find out What Happened Here #welcome home speculation #i cant wait to Know i cant wait to Learn #its gonna be slow going but im Patient #ive waited far longer for far less #and im sure everything we learn is gonna be psychologically and/or emotionally damaging in fun festive ways!!! #can't wait to be gut-punched by our favorite puppets suffering! #and i mean that Genuinely. i Cannot Wait. i Love it when things get fucked up and messy <3 #yesssss put them through ittttttt #fingers still crossed for official artwork of wally covered in blood #i NEED to see him covered in blood please please please #the others as well but mostly him. he'd look so great absolutely drenched in gore

Valentino ‘single mom who works two jobs who loves her kids and never stops’ Rossi

He had to come out of retirement and start endurance racing to feed the 5 hungy mouths he has at home. It ain't much but it's honest living, they make the most out of every little joy that life affords them (that 100 km ranch race)

#i joke but I have soooooo many thoughts about Vale and mentorship and academy and becoming a proxy parental figure and chosen familial bonds #It's psychologically very intense to me #post Ducati and 2011 something changed for Vale #like a long due emotional precipitation finally happened #and I think a lot of how he has conducted himself after that emotionally carries that heft #valentino rossi #vale #vr46 riders academy #motogp

The most helpful thing I picked up from Pete Walker's Complex PTSD was the idea that someone might be so profoundly hurt in childhood that it's unfair and unreasonable to expect them to fully trust any human being, ever again.

Not because that's my situation … but because if it's reasonable for some people to distrust literally every human, then it's ALSO reasonable for me to be a little uneasy around triggering ppl etc

#Like.....let traumatised people be traumatised! #Is something I have an urge to say #Yeah sorry i'm a bit weird around this one woman in work #Its just that I was raised in a psychological torture chamber and she reminds me of one of my fellow contestants #Sorry i'm a little weird about the empire of blood and steel we live inside its just that my mother was crushed beneath its wheels #While she was raising me #And it made her a little emotionally unavailable :/ #Me Fein #Trauma #complex ptsd #Pete Walker

You should always be wary of people who swear off therapy and then minimize, attack and step over your own feelings and experiences, because they think they're above having therapy, or they've tried it for one day, or one week and didn't seek another professional's advice.

Because genuinely, my heart goes out to everyone whose tried therapy and it hasn't worked for them because of problems outside of their control. But for people who fight you on the fact that therapy never works, not for anyone, and that they're better off just reading psychology and theory, those are the people that you should criticize the most.

It is obvious to anyone in the disabled or neurodivergent or mentally ill community that plenty of professionals are fucking stupid or ignorant because they haven't researched enough or learned past a certain point in their lives and stopped helping their patients beyond what they took tests for. And those are the people who let down people the most when it comes to helping people. Those are the people you shouldn't trust with your time or money.

So what makes you think that reading a couple psychology books, probably the same old, traditional bullshit, that they taught to all those terrible doctors, will actually help with yours or anyone else's mental health issues. Everyone whose met an annoying psychology major knows. It's clear that trying to be intellectually superior than a literal patient in therapy, or someone actually living with the disabilities described in those books, isn't the brightest idea.

As someone whose tried and failed to DIY their own mental health journey, it is not easy nor recommended to go through this shit alone. You probably shouldn't, because its damn well easy to make your mental health worse, because it's so easy to fuck something up. Like accidentally or purposely triggering yourself, in order to get to the bottom to why you're feeling something. It's not fun.

So please, if you're having trouble finding therapy, there are community resources out there to help you deal with shit on your own, but don't go spouting stuff you don't actually understand. Don't go trusting strangers who say they have the answers to self help, and then twist around actual clinical terms to bring their point home, don't listen to those people. Don't listen to people who spitefully swear off therapy because they think they can handle it all by themselves. Just don't trust people who don't actually have a degree, and still criticize the ones that do. If some advice to you, seems off, or overblown or diminished, you should be questioning that advice. You should be getting a second opinion.

I make mental health and disabled content all the time on here because I want people to be informed, and to find community and resources to get the help that you need. But you can't pull therapy words out of your ass and expect people not to question you. Talk to the community and don't just go informing random strangers, if you don't know what you're talking about.

If you abuse your platform to misinform other ignorant people, you deserve to have your platform taken away. So treat the chance to educate people as a privilege, don't use it to spout bullshit that you don't understand. Therapy isn't a last resort, so don't listen to anyone that treats it that way.

#babey posts #this shit is a red fucking flag!! #i just tried arguing with someone about the way they were misusing clinical terminology #and then they decided to diminish and minimize and gaslight me #trying to say that i was neurotic crazy and projecting onto them #this is some emotionally abusive bullshit #don't trust strangers who give shit medical advice like that #especially with the 'hold yourself accountable by shaming yourself for having negative thoughts' #LIKE THAT'S SO WRONG!!!! STOP #i can say a million things that they were saying wrong #but posting therapy terms in a community that is not actually psychology was one of them #this is not the same as people who genuinely cannot access therapy whether to an abusive situation or to actual lack of insurance #these are the people who complain about issues that could be solved through therapy and say that therapy is stupid and doesn't work #sometimes therapy doesn't work for people!! but please try it. #if you have access to it. do it. #and if you don't have access to it. talk the community with the same disorders as you. #watch youtube videos and talk to other people and seek support there. #please please please don't spread the idea that other people need to shame themselves for their issues in order to improve #thats the opposite of improving. that is literally the opposite.

#I tried to google if there were different classifications in the 80’s but I’m bad at google so I can’t tell #I guess y’all are reading this book with me #it’s called a good enough parent #by Bruno Bettelheim #He has one of the first (?) books on autism as well #I found out about him because I found an old book of his covered in rubble dirt and dust in the creepy basement of my apartment building #it was his book The Rehabilitation of Emotionally Disturbed Children #which is exactly the type of book I would find in a creepy basement #I collected a few of his books after that bc I like comparing older psychology things to present day #wel mostly in regards to child development and trauma and healing #bc that is my main special interest #anyway I’m not reading the book bc it’s good I’m reading it from a history perspective if that makes sense
