Very interesting to me that a certain subset of the BES fandom's favourite iterations of Mizu and Akemi are seemingly rooted in the facades they have projected towards the world, and are not accurate representations of their true selves.

And I see this is especially the case with Mizu, where fanon likes to paint her as this dominant, hyper-masculine, smirking Cool GuyTM who's going to give you her strap. And this idea of Mizu is often based on the image of her wearing her glasses, and optionally, with her cloak and big, wide-brimmed kasa.

And what's interesting about this, to me, is that fanon is seemingly falling for her deliberate disguise. Because the glasses (with the optional combination of cloak and hat) represent Mizu's suppression of her true self. She is playing a role.

Take this scene of Mizu in the brothel in Episode 4 for example. Here, not only is Mizu wearing her glasses to symbolise the mask she is wearing, but she is purposely acting like some suave and cocky gentleman, intimidating, calm, in control. Her voice is even deeper than usual, like what we hear in her first scene while facing off with Hachiman the Flesh-Trader in Episode 1.

This act that Mizu puts on is an embodiment of masculine showboating, which is highly effective against weak and insecure men like Hachi, but also against women like those who tried to seduce her at the Shindo House.

And that brings me to how Mizu's mask is actually a direct parallel to Akemi's mask in this very same scene.

Here, Akemi is also putting up an act, playing up her naivety and demure girlishness, using her high-pitched lilted voice, complimenting Mizu and trying to make small talk, all so she can seduce and lure Mizu in to drink the drugged cup of sake.

So what I find so interesting and funny about this scene, characters within it, and the subsequent fandom interpretations of both, is that everyone seems to literally be falling for the mask that Mizu and Akemi are putting up to conceal their identities, guard themselves from the world, and get what they want.

It's also a little frustrating because the fanon seems to twist what actually makes Mizu and Akemi's dynamic so interesting by flattening it completely. Because both here and throughout the story, Mizu and Akemi's entire relationship and treatment of each other is solely built off of masks, assumptions, and misconceptions.

Akemi believes Mizu is a selfish, cocky male samurai who destroyed her ex-fiance's career and life, and who abandoned her to let her get dragged away by her father's guards and forcibly married off to a man she didn't know. on the other hand, Mizu believes Akemi is bratty, naive princess who constantly needs saving and who can't make her own decisions.

These misconceptions are even evident in the framing of their first impressions of each other, both of which unfold in these slow-motion POV shots.

Mizu's first impression of Akemi is that of a beautiful, untouchable princess in a cage. Swirling string music in the background.

Akemi's first impression of Mizu is of a mysterious, stoic "demon" samurai who stole her fiance's scarf. Tense music and the sound of ocean waves in the background.

And then, going back to that scene of them together in Episode 4, both Mizu and Akemi continue to fool each other and hold these assumptions of each other, and they both feed into it, as both are purposely acting within the suppressive roles society binds them to in order to achieve their goals within the means they are allowed (Akemi playing the part of a subservient woman; Mizu playing the part of a dominant man).

But then, for once in both their lives, neither of their usual tactics work.

Akemi is trying to use flattery and seduction on Mizu, but Mizu sees right through it, knowing that Akemi is just trying to manipulate and harm her. Rather than give in to Akemi's tactics, Mizu plays with Akemi's emotions by alluding to Taigen's death, before pinning her down, and then when she starts crying, Mizu just rolls her eyes and tells her to shut up.

On the opposite end, when Mizu tries to use brute force and intimidation, Akemi also sees right through it, not falling for it, and instead says this:

"Under your mask, you're not the killer you pretend to be."

Nonetheless, despite the fact that they see a little bit through each other's masks, they both still hold their presumptions of each other until the very end of the season, with Akemi seeing Mizu as an obnoxious samurai swooping in to save the day, and Mizu seeing Akemi as a damsel in distress.

And what I find a bit irksome is that the fandom also resorts to flattening them to these tropes as well.

Because Mizu is not some cool, smooth-talking samurai with a big dick sword as Akemi (and the fandom) might believe. All of that is the facade she puts up and nothing more. In reality, Mizu is an angry, confused and lonely child, and a masterful artist, who is struggling against her own self-hatred. Master Eiji, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.

And Akemi, on the other hand, is not some girly, sweet, vain and spoiled princess as Mizu might believe. Instead she has never cared for frivolous things like fashion, love or looks, instead favouring poetry and strategy games instead, and has always only cared about her own independence. Seki, her father figure who knows her best, knows this.

But neither is she some authoritative dominatrix, though this is part of her new persona that she is trying to project to get what she wants. Because while Akemi is willful, outspoken, intelligent and authoritative, she can still be naive! She is still often unsure and needs to have her hand held through things, as she is still learning and growing into her full potential. Her new parental/guardian figure, Madame Kaji, knows this as well.

So with all that being said, now that we know that Mizu and Akemi are essentially wearing masks and putting up fronts throughout the show, what would a representation of Mizu's and Akemi's true selves actually look like? Easy. It's in their hair.

This shot on the left is the only time we see Mizu with her hair completely down. In this scene, she's being berated by Mama, and her guard is completely down, she has no weapon, and is no longer wearing any mask, as this is after she showed Mikio "all of herself" and tried to take off the mask of a subservient housewife. Thus, here, she is sad, vulnerable, and feeling small (emphasised further by the framing of the scene). This is a perfect encapsulation of what Mizu is on the inside, underneath all the layers of revenge-obsession and the walls she's put around herself.

In contrast, the only time we Akemi with her hair fully down, she is completely alone in the bath, and this scene takes place after being scorned by her father and left weeping at his feet. But despite all that, Akemi is headstrong, determined, taking the reigns of her life as she makes the choice to run away, but even that choice is reflective of her youthful naivety. She even gets scolded by Seki shortly after this in the next scene, because though she wants to be independent, she still hasn't completely learned to be. Not yet. Regardless, her decisiveness and moment of self-empowerment is emphasised by the framing of the scene, where her face takes up the majority of the shot, and she stares seriously into the middle distance.

To conclude, I wish popular fanon would stop mischaracterising these two, and flattening them into tropes and stereotypes (ie. masculine badass swordsman Mizu and feminine alluring queen but also girly swooning damsel Akemi), all of which just seems... reductive. It also irks me when Akemi is merely upheld as a love interest and romantic device for Mizu and nothing more, when she is literally Mizu's narrative foil (takes far more narrative precedence over romantic interest) and the deuteragonist of this show. She is her own person. That is literally the theme of her entire character and arc.

Picture this; Bones holding Joanna, rocking her to sleep and the part in Beautiful Boy where it’s like “The monster's gone, He's on the run, And your daddy's here” is playing. :,)

Fatherhood gives you certain... skills. Coincidentally, this is also how Jim finds out that Bones sings.

seeing personality disorder discussion on the dashboard. the impulse to share all the self-therapy books and tools we have has never been stronger

#our files are so disorganized but we have a bunch of them saved to a dropbox file #the clinical model is letting you all down. if we had our shit together we would welcome you into the warm embrace of our radical ideology #but in the meantime if you all are interested in free books to start managing your own recovery with or without a therapist #let us know #call it an interest check #we love piracy and we especially love doing it for our friends #we have podcast recs and links to some really foundational CPTSD recovery pieces too #we can maybe tell you what approaches to check out depending on what you need because that's hard to know without a lot of research #personality disorders aren't actually clearcut definitions so much as they are expressions of trauma that have been unnecessarily categoriz #they are prescriptive and serve power rather than the person who has them and fail to take the actual mechanics of trauma into account #the DSM-V would shrink to thirty pages if it reflected the growing understanding of CPTSD and maybe therapy would actually work #but in the meantime we have ourselves and we have each other #and we have free books #idk just let us know

Were there a couple minutes before Rowen died where David was just panicking, or did he die immediately? This is very important to me for no reason other than “how traumatized was David by this particular incident”

You know, I hadn't really considered it before as anything other than an instant kill movie. Even if Red did survive being stabbed the adrenalin would have been high enough that David just kept on bludgeoning him, its not until after he's dead that David like 'shit, I didn't want that actually'. It would have just been a more drawn out and gruesome death.

#two of us AU #two of us!David #two of us!Red #this ask made me think about an AU where Red survived being stabbed but I couldn't think of anything particularly interesting for it #Either Red escapes and calls the police which is basically just the ending but sooner #everyone goes free but without all that undead angst that I love :(#or David just like forcibly holds him hostage but just as a normal human guy instead of a fabric monster #same problem its just a slightly less angsty version of what I already have #That being said I did make some doodles of what surivor Red would have looked like which was basically just Red but without an eye #and by that I mean in his panic David used magic to just seal his eye like eye hole just straight up gone

LOVE WINS!! The incomprehensible entity above godhood and her incomprehensible wife have become one to kill Mirror 💖

SHE'S HERE!!! Finally I can talk about who and what Love Story is!! All her info + the transparent versions are below the cut! I'm so excited about her o(*°▽°*)o

An entity known as Love Story- a collective consisting of Pandora and Galvarium!

If Galvarium wasn't enough before, Love Story is her everything but tenfold, maybe more... Love Story is highly dangerous, standing at 1500 m, 200 m more than Truth of His World.

She (or they, given that it is both Pandora and Galvarium) is formed during the final fight with Mirror Kagami.

It seems like she is acting as her own entity, however her movements are the two moving in sync.

When she speaks, it sounds like Galvarium and Pandora speaking at once.

An extreme amount of trust is required to form a fusion, which those two obviously have.

Love Story is the one to finally put down Romirr/Mirror/Truth of His World. In a way, it is like a dance between the two.

The only observable hazard she has is hysteria, but that has only been displayed by Mirror, so it isn't likely the result of her presence.

Love Story is unbelievably happy to be herself! Of course, Galvarium and Pandora are just very happy and comfortable with one another!

She has the most fun getting rid of Truth of His World (❁´◡`❁)

She doesn't stick around too much after Mirror is put down- but is around long enough for the others to behold her presence.

Oddly, Love Story is able to be understood and seen by humans. This is most likely due to her existence being a manifestation of Galvarium's and Pandora's emotions.

While Galvarium is never depicted in words (legends/stories etc), Love Story is written about by a lot of people- those who saw her and those who heard stories of her presence.

Here's a few design notes!

She isn't wearing clothes. Much like the LAE, her "skin" mimics clothing.

Her veil, dress, and gloves are very soft, but are very veiny. The veins don't supply any blood, it's purely for looks.

Like Pandora's, the tendrils can deal a lethal amount of poison.

The pink crystal-like structure of her torso and the white of her chest are her insides.

Her veil comes out from the back of her horns.

She does have legs/feet, though they aren't often visible.

The inside of the ring says "This is Your Story" (only the last bit is visible).

The small heart in her horns, above her head, rotates constantly. It spins faster the more she is moving.

Here's the transparent bg versions+one without the veil!

I am so so happy with her!! Love Story has been a concept for a really long time and I'm really excited to show her off!! I hope you enjoy beholding her ╰(*°▽°*)╯

haru overhears rin singing elvis presley's "can't help falling in love" quietly to himself one day while rin is towel-drying his hair after a shower at his tokyo apartment and it makes him feel things, even though he doesn't understand the words.

he decides he likes it, and before they go to sleep (haru on the bed, rin on a futon on the floor because haru is too chicken-shit and uncharacteristically overcome by shyness to suggest sharing the bed) he asks rin, "what was that song you were singing?"

"hm? what song?"

"the one you were singing while you dried your hair."

rin hums thoughtfully and pretends he doesn't notice the way haru is boring holes into the side of his face. he thinks hard because: a) rin sings (or hums) all. the. time. to fill the silence, b) he must've done it subconsciously, and he cannot, for the life of him, recall what he'd been singing earlier and c) the fact that haru had even noticed is both mildly embarrassing and wildly distracting him from the very act of sifting through possibly >50 songs he sings/hums a day. today. he is sure he'd have sung at least the amount today, because being with haru means learning to be comfortable with prolonged silences sometimes (but also working to fill those silences).

he sings a lot when he's around haru (not that he'd admit to it). he thinks being around haru makes his heart sing (not that he'd admit to that either).

"song... song... what song was i—"

and then it clicks, and his blush shoots up to his hairline.

haru, despite having the emotional perception of a proverbial tree stump but being an expert in all (well, maybe not all) things rin, senses the several stages of embarrassment that play upon rin's features and decides to be merciful.

"it sounded nice," he says tersely. the smile that he gives rin is placating. a peace offering of sorts. "i liked it."

rin glances at him furtively before awkwardly coughing and clearing his throat. "you did?"

"mmh."

"do you... would you like me to sing it again?"

haru hears a soft tapping sound—probably rin's finger on the linoleum floor—and pays it no mind. chalks it up to a nervous tic of rin's.

"yes," is all he says. the tapping stops.

the room is silent for a second too long, but rin breaks it. all too suddenly.

rin's voice is unabashedly one of haru's most favourite things about him in the world. his speaking voice is a rich baritone, sometimes raspy, maybe even bordering on sultry whenever he teases him. it makes the tips of his fingers tingle like he's being charged with minute amounts of steady-flowing electricity from the ground up. it makes his heart beat a few paces faster; it shoots adrenaline through his body like absinthe pumping in his veins. it excites him. angers him. frustrates him. maybe even enamours him, sometimes.

but his singing voice? it drips over his soul like the smooth silk of honey from an upturned jar, leaves every fiber of his being covered in its sticky sweetness. it's gentle and mellifluous, which haru finds absolutely ridiculous, because rin is anything but gentle or mellifluous in nature. it's calming. soothing. reminiscent of the lullabies his late grandmother once sang him to sleep. it makes his eyelids droop like he's lying peacefully at the bottom of the sea because he feels so safe and comfortable, like he's floating atop a cloud.

okay.

maybe he's exaggerating.

but rin's voice is lovely, and in haru's mind, he's walking on air.

"rin," haru calls out gently, ignoring the mild disdain he feels over the fact he'd had to interrupt rin's singing for this. "i can't hear you well from the futon."

rin blinks. "are you suggesting that i—"

the blanket rustles, and even in the dim light of the night lamp, rin sees it. haru has scooted to the corner by the wall, one hand holding up half of his blanket gingerly. an invitation.

well if haru insists.

they lay in the bed, close, but not nearly enough. haru looks at rin tenderly, blue eyes glistening in the moonlight, silently urging rin to carry on where he'd left off. but rin is stalling. or staring, rather. his carmine eyes look back at haru, matching in tenderness. he shifts slightly, exhales deeply. haru itches with impatience.

"rin," haru calls out again, gentler this time, voice laced with sleep. "sing?"

rin's eyes go dopey and he obliges, easing into the chorus.

"wise men say..."

haru doesn't even remember being lulled to sleep.

bonus: after rin returns to australia, he sometimes receives calls from haru, telling him he's having trouble sleeping. haru never explicitly asks rin to sing to him, but rin knows him like the back of his hand and does it anyway. when the line goes silent and is gradually taken over by haru's soft, even breathing, rin chuckles. he likes how haru enjoys him singing this one particular song, even if it's in english and haru doesn't understand a word. unbeknownst to him, rin means every word he sings.

("like a river flows surely to the sea, darling, so it goes; some things are meant to be")

#free!#rinharu #matsuoka rin #nanase haruka #ficlet #drabble #whatever you call it #i was listening to can't help falling in love and for some reason this little scene played out in my mind #i would pay to hear rin sing this #is this fluff???#fluff #i guess #okay yup that's all the writing i'm doing for the rest of the year

its common on letterboxd for people to say they wish they had a sixth star for some movies well obviously they cant just change to a 6 star rating system but my genius free idea for the website is that every user should get a limited number of extra stars. like if you want you can rate a movie 6 stars but you can only do it a couple times. so its still a 6/5 rating.

if they want to make money they could either make this feature patron only or just give patrons a few more extra stars. i think this will fix the website

#it could be fun to see if people use their limited stars so often for the same movies that some films could have an over 5 star avg.#and youd know like wow people REALLY love this one this is special #or you could get people using their extra stars to boost a panned movie that they love.#like ive seen a bunch of people rate some movies 5 stars just to pull up the average when they only liked it around a 4 #idk. give the people 6th stars just make it limited so we dont end up w a 6 star system where people say they want a 7th star lol #avpost #if you want real chaos you can give everyone a limited amt of extra stars but they can double up on one movie #like if you give everyone 3 extra stars. they could give 3 movies 6 stars. or one movie could get 8 stars.#this one would be less useful i think though #this idea is free i just want it to happen. maybe gift me the option to do custom posters and ill call it even.

fun fact about me: i'm insecure about so many random things that i've never flipped anyone off in my 22 years of life because i think my middle finger looks awkward and ugly by itself

#and like i say: brf slt #i felt like this especially when i would have been likely to do it semi-regularly like in middle school. but like i was thinking about this #the other day and i did it in front of a mirror just to check and it looked as bad as i remember like it's just not for me #i have a story abour middle fingers though or just about what one would call the finger #when i was in what an american would call the 5th grade (i can never do when i was x years old because it's not an accurate representation #of the class i was in since i skipped a grade and the grade is what matters more to me. when i was 9 and my friends were 10 i was saying)#we would always play this game called girls catch guys or guys catch girls where the girls would run after the guys and like tap them on #the shoulder and then they would go to prison and they would line up and another guy could set them free by like touching one of the #prisoners it was a very fun game except it's way more fun to be like the ones getting caught than to be the ones catching and we would #ALWAYS play girls catching guys and it was very unfair we would be like okay in the morning we do guys catching girls in the afternoon #girls catching guys so it's fair like normal system but the guys NEVER wanted to do it (and we would always give in because like we still #wanted to play ig and idk guys. female socialization) they never wanted to be the ones doing the catching it was so unfair because we also #didn't like it as much and we did it all the time?#and i remember this one morning we were fighting about this we had literally all agreed that it was fair this way but they didn't want to #do it and my second best male friend flipped me and my best (female) friend off and (very #important detail) he did it with both of his hands so like two middle fingers and i don't know why because i'm not even sure that that's a #thing but one middle finger meant fuck you and two middle fingers meant go fuck yourself and to us that was very different? and i remember #my friend and i we like knew what it meant but for some reason we were like. he did do the one finger before doing the two does this mean #he...loves us because it literally means he wants to have sex with us #but what's funny is we never talked to him again after that and i don't even know why that was our last straw because i remember i #genuinely liked him before that like i said he was my second best male friend! so like maybe sixth best friend overall that's not bad #and he's not the only guy friend who flipped us off that year like it was so random to stop talking to him after that😭#like he was an actual enemy we really did not like him we talked about him in letters we'd give each other using a nickname etc #and what's even funnier is in our last year of middle schoold FOUR YEARS AFTER THIS a friend of a friend told him he should become friends #with well my friend and he was like hm i don't think so have you seen who she hangs out with? marianne *last name* like why do YOU hate #me😭 it was so funny like wdym it was mutual this whole time. i had literally moved on by then i didn't even care about hating him #anymore like wow...i think he's the only person i hated who actually hated me back

Montage of Eiffel saying Minkowski's name/title

The reverse of this

This edit contains one clip from each episode, apart from:

There's none from Pan-pan, Don't Poke the Bear, A Matter of Perspective, Out of the Loop, or Idle Hands

There's 2 clips from Knock Knock, 3 from Need to Know, 3 from Fire and Brimstone, 2 from Desperate Measures, 2 from Bolero, 2 from Dirty Work, 5 from The Devil's Plaything, 2 from Quiet Please, and 7 from Brave New World.

#w359 #Wolf 359 #This takes us from their very first interaction to Eiffel's last lines on the show #which has me feeling some kind of way #Once again feel free to ask for context for particular bits #It's longer than the other one #partly because I was less restrained #but also because Minkowski tends to use Eiffel's name as a complete sentence a lot #so I was able to find more short clips for that one #I put in more of him saying 'Commander' than 'Minkowski'#partly because they were easier to search for in the scripts #but also partly because he calls her that more when he's addressing her directly #and particularly in emotional moments #I don't have proof of this but I have a feeling #that he directly addresses her as Minkowski more often after Constructive Criticism #which would be significant if true #He stumbles over her name in Dirty Work like he's correcting his pronunciation #even though he's literally about to jump into a star...#God I love them #Btw the episodes I skipped are ones where he doesn't say her name/title #or he only uses it to refer to her in the third person #in a way that isn't emotionally significant #Doug Eiffel #Renée Minkowski #the empty man posteth #Eiffel & Minkowski

I listen to this podcast that's like for (redacted) people and their families and at the end of every episode they feature somebody's special interest and it's always a sweet kid who does posters or has a career planned. where's the love for some customer service manager named like ally or something whose passion for lesbian necromancers kept them from straight up stabbing customers. if you ask me that's had a greater impact on society. people are alive today because of it you know? just as a totally random example

#this is a joke #i'm joking #i need the redacted podcast for people over 21 when you can no longer play it off as cute and quirky and now you have to like #hold down a job and communicate with others #i love listening to self help podcasts i'm microdosing on being a human. nona was right other people's problems are so wild #that said some of these solutions & conversation suggestions seem wildly counterintuitive #i truly can never anticipate what they're going to say on there it's like plot twist every time i love it #they're mean to people i would have been nice to. they're nice to people i would have been mean to #one time they said you shouldn't call someone your best friend that's a lot of pressure and i was like. ohh so this is how their minds work #crazy #i'll call the bus driver who waited for me my best friend but okay #anyway the redacted podcasts are more relatable but unfortunately they are also like. if you have a redacted child in your life #a child in my life? oh no i'm proudly child free. celebrate that period every single month no offense to the kids of the world

This post is probably gonna be a little very long bc I wanna rant a little about stan culture(?) (idk if that's what you would call this).

It's kinda incredible (and not in a good way) how quickly people can switch on the internet and how a celeb can go from being the most loved person and most popular to all of a sudden getting ridiculous amounts of hate and most of the time it's for no reason and it happens even with shows and movies idk if it's bc people wanna fit in with the others so they praise what others are praising regardless of how they feel and then when the hype naturally dies down they finally show their true feelings, or if they just wanna hate for the sake of it honestly idk but to me this is what it feels like and it's what it looks like it's happening everytime the two options look very likely, and I can give quite a few examples on shows and actors, for example:

Pedro Pascal bc yeah people are already turning on him not that much but I could totally see it happening in a few months but it already happened a few times more specifically bc of "the last of us" which was another one of my examples in this, at the beginning it was the most beloved and popular show but now it's like everyone turned on it and I'm hella confused, and I don't want to make this post even longer than it needs to be but I know there will be criticism that's obvious and normal but this is not it.

And going with another show house of the dragon, before you couldn't go without seeing it everywhere and so much praise, but now the same people that claim to be fans are going around saying "oh this show was a mistake" make it make sense.

And this one that I've talked about numerous times Florence Pugh, she became more and more successful and as it was happening people became more and more rude towards her saying so many nasty shit when she's far from deserving it.

And now this one is a little bit more controversial but Elizabeth Olsen, bc in my opinion someone can be problematic and you can acknowledge that but it won't change the fact that they are talented, but it gets kinda hilarious to see people that hate her (and I can't blame them bc she has said messed up shit) try and call her acting bad and say that "she makes weird faces and moves her mouth weird" hell, someone went as far as hating on her acting on love and death bc it "felt too natural" uhm isn't that like the whole point.

And this with Lizzie of calling her a bad actress also happened with Florence so that just made it even funnier bc like at least separate the two, you don't like them, fine, but they are talented as fuck

#I was gonna mention the wave of hate towards wanda maximoff but that deserves a post of its own #Bc you can hate the whitewashing and the actor you might not like the character but some of the shit people call mcu wanda is the biggest #reach ive ever seen and at times it seems like some didn't even understand the story and that's where the problem is #And saying lizzie plays candy in a funny way and that it look likes she thinks she's still in wandavision like bruh once again hating just #For the sake of it bc it makes no sense #I could also have mentioned milly alcock bc she went from being hated for no reason to all of a sudden being loved so that was also weird #And I'm sure there's many more I'm writing all this but ain't no one gonna read all that if you do tho I would love to talk more about this #So feel free to send something #florence pugh #house of the dragon #marvel #rhaenyra targaryen #mcu #wanda maximoff #Elizabeth Olsen #Love and death #Pedro pascal #the last of us

#the way horoscope bs is marketed amongst and by young! people today is sickening #and to make it even more disturbing it's now being blended and advertised with tiktok psychology speech #i just got an insta ad promoting some sort of hip ''''service'''' where they would help me (finally) find toxic-free relationships #based on freaking horoscopes #where they were assining 'toxic trait types' to certain starsigns and birthdates #WHAT #people are in all honesty just sick in the head #and they probibly think themselves liberal and modern for not being 'religious' and being woke and open minded or idek #this is so SO SO utterly disturbing #how people are making some sort of prejudicing science out of this complete and utter crap #and knowing HOW MANY people actually believe in this nowadays #like 10 15 years ago hososcopes were like 'you'll fall in love this week'#'watch out for xyz this week'#and some call in shows were very few people would spend very insane amounts of money by calling there #but today it's an entire industry of influencers and idek i probably just know the tip of the iceberg #and the way people treat it as this legitimate and somehow selfcary way of handling relationships and mental health is INSANE #I N S A N E #it actually scares me #i still somehow have this belief we grew up with where every generation will be more reasonsble than the previous one #but... well
