We've discussed how too many "universal therian experiences" posts are just canine or otherwise generally mammalian but now we should talk about how many "exclusively human things/humans all have this weird thing!" posts are actually just talking about something that animals other than caniformes do

when jane's powers return in season four (and because they were regained by her confronting and accepting her past, rather than being retraumatised with it!) they're stronger than they ever were. when she starts getting a handle back on them, she very quickly comes to realise not only have they affected her, but her mother, too. one of the biggest losses that came about with her losing them was the fact that she could no longer visit terry in the void; while there was no real communication there, it did allow jane to sit with her, and gain a little more connection than she could in the real world. when she first visits the void after their return, it takes her three hours to find terry, something that is both unexpected and incredibly worrying. but when she does, it's something of a miracle. jane's increased strength and control over the void actually wakes terry up from her catatonic state, but only in the void. there's no way to help her mother physically, but she does do so (unbeknownst to her) mentally. terry is reborn in jane's newfound control over the vale of shadows; she becomes the woman she once was, and while her body remains frozen in a "good dream", her mind connected to jane's own allows her some freedom. jane is able to speak to her mother in the void, is able to be held by her, and while it's still unfair and jane cannot stay in there forever, it's something. this only lasts for about eight months, as each visit slowly begins deteriorating terry's physical and mental state, and jane's health begins declining after spending hours upon hours in the void each and every day.
when jane finds out these visits are actually killing her mother on the outside, she deems to stop, but terry expresses the importance of them being able to speak, that she'd prefer to die on the outside, if it meant she could have just a few months with her daughter like this. terry and jane's connection was always so strong, which ultimately led to terry "waking up" in the void, but even jane's newfound strength cannot save her from the harsh realities. each visit nearing the end of those eight months, terry fades more and more, becomes weaker in the void, and her real body eventually gives up. jane's in the void when her mother eventually passes on, and physically feels their connection weaken, like some part of her suddenly becomes lost in the shadows, a part she'll never find again. jane falls into a depressive state for weeks after her mother's death, given she's technically lost her a second time, but soon comes to realise she was lucky to have even shared those eight months together. it was better than nothing at all. there is a proper burial and funeral, (and when jane dies, she's buried next to her mother) which allows jane some sense of closure. she never fully recovers from losing terry, nor from the fact that she never had a proper relationship with her, but she does eventually find some peace with it all.

do you ever think about right after v kisses kerry how he says w dazed disbelief he wants this gorgeous moment to last forever to a dying man and johnny’s remark about ‘kerry never did get it. only one thing worse than unfulfilled dreams— dreams that come true’ and how quietly gutted he sounds and then you think about how how kerry’s always wanted to get with johnny and how kerry only romances male v because it unconsciously or not fits into that fifty year old want for johnny or do you do yo u… do you

now that hrt is like. a Thing That Is Gonna Happen, i'm thinking a lot more about myself and how i present myself, and i'm coming to the realization that i have no goddamn sense of self whatsoever. and that's really starting to hurt in the fashion department, and like. my sense of personal style in general. i've never put thought into my wardrobe, i just have baggy tshirts and blue jeans and a few hoodies and flannels for winter. buying new clothes for me consists entirely of picking up tshirts sporadically when i see one i like and buying everything else when the old ones wear out. and now i'm at a point where i'm realizing, fuck, i actually want to care how i look. i want to understand what i like and build my presentation around that. i don't want to just wear baggy jeans and tshirts, but i've also convinced myself that i can't get away with wearing anything else. partially because i don't know where to start, partially because i've grown up as the kid who's Taller and Larger than average so most of my clothes growing up were more utilitarian than stylish, cus that's what was in my size.
i dunno, this is one of those things where it's. kinda hitting me how much i missed out on. stuff like fashion was never really something i had to encounter cus when you're growing up in Boy Form you can kinda just wear whatever and nobody second guesses you. so it's never something i learned how to work with or appreciate or even understand where to start.
and like, on top of that! i grew up as the tall fat kid, i learned to not put much stock in how i looked for as long as i can remember, and i never actually learned how to start appreciating my body. and like i look in the mirror now and i. just can't imagine making anything out of this. like the proverbial Girl In The Mirror is so fundamentally differently built from me, i don't even know where to begin.
ugh. i'm glad i have an appointment set up and i'm glad i'm gonna do this, i think i would regret it even more if i gave up on hrt and just tried to suppress it for even longer. but it's also dredging up a lot of emotions i thought i had buried pretty well and to be honest that part kinda sucks!
