What a magical lady.

one of the worst things abt being australian is always seeing out of touch thursday posts on fridays. makes me feel somewhat. out of touch.

You can lie when you name things

a neutral reminder that while being a hater can be a fun indulgence you can never find long term happiness by spending your time constantly hating on things and you can’t make long term friends if the only thing you have in common is something you both dislike; you need to love and be passionate about things. being petty gets old. you need to be a lover too

what doesn’t kill me leaves a pit in my stomach that never goes away

I love thinking about how Psychonauts levels compare to other types of game levels. In some games you've just got like... Ice, fire, desert, sewer, maybe a haunted house if you're lucky. Psychonauts has stuff like the wedding cake section of the alcoholic depression level. This level also has sailing, a swamp, a garden, and a drowned version of the hub world in it, among other things, but it's all tied together with plants, alcohol, and the memories of people he's lost. The guy the level is about is depicted as a potato sometimes. He's sad because he thinks his husband was murdered by one of their friends 20 years ago. You only find him because you want him to move some vines out of the way.

I think it's a shame that "Oedipus complex" refers to fucking your mom instead of the actual point of his story, fulfilling your destiny through your attempts to avoid it. It just so happens his destiny was to fuck his mom

Yeah, I don’t know what Freud was thinking, but Oedipus very much did Not want to fuck his mom. He spent the entire play trying to avoid that, and then gauged out his eyes when he learned that he had anyway.

I think Freud was too caught up with the fantasy of fucking his mom to appreciate the themes of the story tbh

and the winner of superwholock is officially??? no one. we all lost. congrats team
