Just starting this off with, yes, I am dumb.
It’s true. When I started listening to Redacted less than a year ago I started with Sam. I can’t remember how I found it, but I did and I’ll say it, I fell in love with him! I watched his playlist not knowing anything about anyone else. I was confused every time it mentioned David, Vincent, anyone, but then came the Inversion. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 talk about frickin’ confusing. I had no clue who anyone was, what there were nothing.
The only thing I actually remember from my first watch was how heartbroken I felt for the poor guy who could feel all the emotions. Then after watching Gavin’s story, I was not ok.
Then I watched everyone’s stories individually and watched their sections of the Inversion and it broke my heart every time.
Finally right now, I’m sitting here at 10 PM having watched everyone’s stories and the entirety of the Inversion, knowing everyone. It truly had me on the edge. I had the full experience and now I’ve made myself sit and listen to Aftershock. I honestly had to wait for a night when I was mentally prepared and had no time to finish all of it.
I’m on Vincent and Lovely’s part now and basically this whole post was formed in my head because I didn’t remember that Vincent and Lovely can’t lie to each other. That level of trust and love is something every person on this planet deserves. Vincent could have been like most if not all of the others and just taken advantage of their turning. He wants them to be equal partners so much that he made sure he could never control Lovely and he made it to where since they can’t lie to him, he couldn’t either.
This man is a walking green flag. I hope whatever the outcome of the William situation they will find a home and continue to build a happy stable life as equal partners.

below lies tf2 mercs as korean soups
so walk away if you don't wanna see a bunch of korean soup pics
Scout - Bean sprout soup
Scout's thin and young, like beansprouts.
Ohh look little shrimps are there too.. basically the Scout Soup amirite
You can whip it up in no time, and later when you come back home from the work, you don't even bother to reheat it (which is a very Scout thing to do). It's very commonly eaten cold, even ice cold.
Something that will provide minerals and water after a day of running around under scorching badwater sun. It's like Gatorade but soulful and fibrous (sounds even worse)
Soldier - Seaweed soup
Koreans got the US ARMY SOUP but hey it'd be too easy if i did that for soldier...
This soup is so thick it's not going to steam when it should be steaming hot cause the steam literally can't escape this thick shit and I think it fits dumb(thick) and temperamental(hot) soldier so well..
I can imagine soldier trying to gulp down this thing and get burns all over
It is called May Saying E Guk (not a standard romanization but it does sound like that) like the VA... Rick May.. ok..?
Pyro - Soft tofu soup
Hey it's red, spicy, and will be still boiling on your table.
Plus the soft part. The Pyro Soup.
at this point i wanna quit but will just push through
Demoman - Spicy seafood soup
You know how Demo has a pirate/seaman theme going on, like the Swashbuckler item set, Tide Turner, Loose Cannon, Pirate Bandana and so on?
You could drink endlessly to this soup, eat the soup again for hangover, and start all over again.
This soup often has Styela clava, I can't explain what it is but it's an animal, it's pointy and full of sea water that's gonna explode in your mouth if you bite on it, possibly burning your mouth.
Heavy - Red bean porridge
Ok this is technically not a soup
Koreans eat this thing in the winter solstice to ward off evil spirits and winter solstices tend to be pretty cold?? like Russia??
Red like communism.
It has hundreds of red beans like heavy shoots hundreds of bullets in a minute (600 rounds/min in-game)
This porridge is often eaten sweet, and Heavy is a very sweet guy to his family and Medic.
Warm & sweet in a cold day sounds very like Heavy
People eat this soup also in North Korea(obviously..?), Japan, China, and Vietnam. Hey wow look 3 other communist countries I've already told you this thing is red
Engineer - Ox bone broth soup
To make this bone broth soup milky, you want to first soak the bone for several hours while regularly changing the water, and then boil it, remove the first broth, and then boil it again for hours and hours on high heat.
It requires so much patience like playing Engineer does.
You would typically make this soup in a huge pot - and everything is bigger in Texas, I hear.
Medic - Hangover soup
There are quite a few types of hangover soups in Korean cuisine, and I'm talking about the hangover soup with blood pudding and intestines.
Blood pudding here is basically just clotted blood so I think med's gonna love the idea.
Sniper - Oden stew
Sorry I can't come up with anything Korean with Sniper so here's a Japanese cuisine
Spy - Chicken and octopus stew
It's a mystery how korean food offers dishes so fitting for tf2 mercs
This stew has tentacles (Spy) and a chicken (France)
It is called Hae sin tang that means the Sea god soup, and the name's so pretentious I think Spy would love it.
It's not a traditional dish. It was only invented in 2005 so it's pretty new, like how Spy carries weirdly high-tech gadgets like disguise kits and invisibility clocks.
Hey it even disguises as a traditional food so there's also that.

if you struggle with mental health, one piece of advice i would genuinely give you is learn to knit.
or crochet: something repetitive to do with your hands, assuming you're capable of it. if you're like me and learnt to knit as a kid but let it lie fallow for a long time, it may be that starting a large, simple project (for me it was a cloak, but a blanket could work too) gets you back into it. or maybe doing something smaller, idk. i personally found socks really hard for a while because they felt smaller than my cloak but weren't getting Done quick enough for me. as i've sped up i find it more interesting to knit socks.
regardless, a repetitive task is great for emotional regulation (also see: autistic stimming), and something that you can look at and go hey i've done something, unlike simply using a fidget toy, can also help to pick your mood up when the brain is being cruel.
it's also useful as a conversation starter or distracter if you don't know what to talk about. if you're wanting to talk to older people also you're more likely to reel them in with knitting (i work better with older people, and 99% of people who ask what i'm knitting are older than me). it also gives you the opportunity to not make eye contact because you're busy knitting, even if you're still carrying on a conversation. if you're absolutely stuck for conversation you can count your stitches and people might stop bothering you.
if you have trouble focusing without doing something with your hands, you can knit! i knit a lot in church, and it helps me to focus on what's being said.
i probably have more reasons you should pick up knitting, but i can't recall them right now, so yeah.
