Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like “hey sorry, I’m not mad at you and this is nobody’s fault and I’m not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I’m not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence.”
this is probably the best take I’ve heard so far on the debate of people being told that they aren’t having enough ‘compassion’ for billionaires making bad decisions and paying the obvious consequences for it
you know what i’m thinking? it was suggested that ronan lynch wasn’t the first time the greywaren was manifested as a human, and we know that ronan/greywaren dreamt about? connected? with adam through space and time (numquam!! solus!!) which makes me think in every one of the greywaren’s life, he found the magician
looking back it’s actually so funny how this teenage vaguely slavic stoner kid had to run a quick dreaming for dummies 101 course for the local ancient omnipotent forest entity
niall and mor being so terrified of this thing theyve dreamt up and believing one day itll turn on them and all ronan wants to do is dream of light. cries
get revenge on those who wronged you by continuing to like the things you used to enjoy together, then re-contextualize and re-interpret them to suit your own personal enjoyment without worrying about what they might think. it’s yours now. reclaim your joy
you know what, i made this post because i had just lost a friendship with someone who introduced me to something i still really like. at the time i was pretty angry, hence the word choice here, but in retrospect i think it’s not necessary to think of reclamation as “revenge.” i see folks in the notes talking about reclaiming things from toxic people and abusers and i wanna say it doesn’t have to be about them at all anymore. it’s yours now and time will eventually erase their fingerprints on it, so don’t waste your time doing it for revenge that won’t mean anything to them but may poison something you love for you. just enjoy it for yourself now that they’re gone
is anyone else just like. constantly filled with rage about their position under late capitalism and how we are expected to just keep playing this game that we know will literally kill us, is already killing people all over the world, and yet everyone around us is somehow fine with going about business as usual, with pretending we are free by being able to choose between different ways of being exploited. there is nothing more dehumanising than being forced to partake in a system that is actively detrimental to our survival as human beings, that is so physically, psychologically and spiritually destructive, and i don’t know how to deal with this anger anymore
