a common method for making mice mentally ill

the only change people seem to be okay with characters going through is like, whatever they consider the acceptable amount to be found in a neatly defined arc, some hero's journey shit with a packaged up return to the status quo at the end. nothings fundamentally different. which is why people cant handle it when characters dont have linear growth, or when they seem like theyre doing better and then they get worse and completely backslide, or just go in a direction thats unexpected. and its why ppl are especially so allergic to characters going through the process of unpacking their gender and transitioning onscreen. it almost mirrors the classic transphobic parent "youre taking away my son/daughter" thing. because it turns out you didnt fully know this person in the way you assumed that you could. but they still are the same person. can you accept that?

my ideal existence is not knowing about the oscars or the super bowl or any of that horseshit...I jerk off to clear running water and live off whatever wanders into my open mouth

[Getting so angry it makes my brain disease worse] people sre supposed to be nice..

you really do have to feel for he xuan though imagine you go up to the heavenly capital so ready to fuck up the life of the stupid undeserving spoiled brat who is living YOUR life who received YOUR godhood as a present with a big old bow slapped on it. ready to hate this person ready to relish taking back from them what's rightfully yours. and it's shi qingxuan. imagine your task being to hate the sweetest nicest cutest funniest most charming person you've ever met. who just wants to be everyone's friend. is nothing easy

the amount of people skimming this post or reading like the first 2 lines and maybe the last one and nothing else & going "umm... my passing advice? do whatever you WANT. stay HEALTHY." is so fucking funny
