this absolutely looks like something that would start talking to you at either the worst or best possible time.

Oh shit, I wanna make that

I don’t like knights in the “glorifying a military police force as symbols of power, wealth, and tradition” way. I like knights in the “cult of chivalry and psychological fallout of raising sons to die like their fathers for a king they’ll never meet” way but also in a “swords and armor symbolic of the heaviness and impermanence of manhood” way.

it is really hard to not have social anxiety when every social experience you have keeps reinforcing that “even if it seems like someone likes you and enjoys your company, they probably actually think something is wrong with you and never want to see you again” is a rational and accurate belief

And that’s on social anxiety largely being misdiagnosed blends of CPTSD/OCD/Autism

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

Danhausen you are correct
