Sigmund Byrne’s 20 Missing Artifacts

Psychology rant postponed because I NEED to talk about the Jones fight. What in the FRESH HELL !!!!!!!!

Dude I seriously was not expecting that. When Cylus and Yvannes transformed my fucking jaw dropped to the ground. Wowowowowow. and the fucking HANDCUFFS !!!!!!11 What the fuck !!!!!!!!!

OKAY!! Like the title says I am a psych student. This is one of the reasons I love Sigmund so much. He's a psychologist (who seems like based on subtext, specializes in cognition. imo.) which is fucking sick.

THAT BEING SAID. I love Sigmund's pseudonym so much. Lemme explain lemme explain.

I know for a fact the last name is from Hermann Ebbinghaus. Bc who else. And guess what baby Ebbinghaus was known for his research in MEMORY. THE FORGETTING CURVE. The Forgetting Curve suggests that people tend to continually halve their memory of newly learned knowledge in a matter of days or weeks unless they actively review the learned material. beautiful love to see it. And the testing for that was super interesting blah blah blah I'm not gonna get into it.

However, I was trying to think where Friedrich comes from. I initially thought of Friedrich Nietzsche. But that didn't make sense in my head all the way. THEN I REMEMBERED FRIEDRICH PERLS BITCH !!!! He coined "Gestalt Therapy" Which is a form of psychotherapy that's centered on increasing a person's awareness, freedom, and self-direction. Alleviating unresolved negative feelings like anger, pain, anxiety, resentment, and all that good stuff !!!! AND THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WITH HIS PERSONALITY AND THE STUFF HE WRITES IT'S INSANE.

Ixion Chained in Tartarus

(Alexandre Denis Abel de Pujol, Detail, 1824.)

The Dragon Devouring the Comrades of Cadmus

(Hendrick Goltzius, 1588).

Cadmus is known as the founder and the first king of Thebes, a powerful town in ancient times, close to Athens. He is also known as the man who brought the writing and the alphabet from the Phoenicians to the Greeks, and through the Greeks to the whole world. Cadmus killed a dragon who was the guard of a swatter spring near Thebes. The dragon was the son of Ares, the god of war and as a result, the house of Cadmus was cursed by Ares. After the death of many of their family members, Cadmus and his wife Harmonia retired to Illyria. When the Illyrians angered the gods and were to be punished, Zeus transformed Cadmus into a black snake.

DECIDED TO POST SOME FAN ART AAAAHGGG. Sigmund <333 my beloved.
