Ratio/Aventurine can go two ways:
1. Ratio viewing Aventurine as…not a science experiment, but something interesting pull apart and study, enabling his worst behaviors just to see the consequences, whatever they may be
2. Ratio refusing to let Aventurine burn himself out, treating him with care because no one else will (including himself and excluded Topaz)
In either case, Ratio’s attention is firmly fixed on Aventurine because he’s smart and can actually hold an intelligent conversation with Ratio. He may not be able to explain in minute detail how something works like Ratio can, but he knows how to get the results he wants and practical knowledge is still knowledge. A gambling fool Aventurine might be, but never an idiot or stupid
Also, Ratio realizing he likes Aventurine and being Mad about it is so funny. Aventurine may realize he cares about Ratio, but it would be hard for him to accept and admit his own feelings because he feels guilty for any comfort he finds and doesn’t think he deserves it unless there’s an edge to it
I like to think they had a…relationship of sorts going into Penacony, because it makes things a whole lot more painful. It balances out afterwards though, because we don’t know if he’s entirely free of the IPC, but the less Aventurine is attached to the IPC, the less he has to keep up his facade and the more Ratio gets to see the man underneath, whether he goes by Aventurine, Kakavasha or a different name entirely

so im gonna go ahead and guess the fairly obvious twist, these fucked up creatures are in fact somehow a) the remains of humanity, or b) the rest of the clone colonists, and in both cases something went Horribly Wrong.

the idea of anon hate is so funny to me, like “ i’m a stranger on the internet, who’s too chicken to even attach my face to these words, and what i say isn’t going to affect any other facet of your life aside from this specific blog on this specific website.... but here’s all the reasons why you’re terrible and you need to listen to me bc i’m an entitled little dipshit who thinks the world revolves around me and everyone needs to cater to my whims all the time, always” like lmfao. touch grass, plz

thought I keep having about Bucky:
The Winter Soldier is often referred to as an ‘assassin,’ but:
an assassin is a respected freelancer
who gets to voluntarily choose that profession
to choose what contracts they take
AND gets paid at the end.
Bucky doesn't meet any of those criteria!

for my own sanity i'm just going to pretend that kagami and felix flipped a coin, or played a game, or in some way competed over whose plan would be used in representation. and felix won. because anything else wrecks kagami's character, whereas her agreeing to it because she lost a bet or whatever is actually very in character for her

Strong feelings right now about a lot of things and I'm simply not going to talk openly about most of them at the moment because I don't have the capacity to do so in a way that feels safe and helpful for me.
But here's what I will say.
As both a mental health care provider responsible for the process of diagnosis and a patient of mental health care providers, can I just emphasize that the first time your patient finds out a diagnosis has been added to their record should never ever be because they looked at their portal after the appointment concluded.
I had a psych session with a new provider (this info is critical because this man has interacted with me for all of 45 minutes total) and at no point during our session did he give me ANY indication that he intended to alter my diagnostic profile or adjust my treatment plan.
Nonetheless, he did so. With an extremely stigmatized diagnosis that has a high risk of doing harm to me in a medical setting.
This is irresponsible for a number of reasons. The first is simply that if he had told me he was considering the possibility we could have discussed it and I could have provided additional context that might (would) have indicated a differential diagnosis. At minimum I would have had warning that I might need to prep for or even contest the diagnosis. The second irresponsible aspect is that I have an extensive history of medical trauma which HE WOULD KNOW if he'd spoken to the intake provider or the therapist who I work with at the practice, both of whom have met with me for longer than he has. And by issuing me this diagnosis he has just increased my risk for further medical trauma while upholding my PTSD diagnosis and being fully aware my PTSD is severe enough I am housebound without a service dog at present.
I meet with my therapist today and license wise she doesn't have the capacity to overturn what he's done but she can help advocate for me, so that's what I'm going to have to hope for. But either way I'm frustrated. Because UNDOING a diagnosis is SO MUCH WORSE than preventing it from going on a record unnecessarily in the first place. It's not even like he had no other diagnosis to treat me under. He could easily have included in his documentation that he wanted to continue to assess for the possibility of it without including it as a diagnosed and confirmed conclusion.
Diagnosis isn't a fucking joke. And we shouldn't be passing them out, particularly stigmatized ones, without an adequate conversation with the patient about where it's coming from and why it's happening. In my case, I am exceptionally confident the diagnosis is wrong. But even if it weren't, I deserved to be told to my face and not to find out after the fact through my diagnostic chart on the portal. That's cowardly and unethical, and frankly I have very little respect for a clinician who does it.
