Early psychoanalytic formulations about the difficulties that psychotic people have in getting perspective on their realistic troubles stressed energic aspects of their dilemma; that is, they were expending so much energy fighting off existential terror that none was left to use in the service of coping with reality. Ego psychology models emphasized the psychotic person's lack of internal differentiation between id, ego, and superego, and between observing and experiencing aspects of the ego. Students of psychosis influenced by interpersonal, object relations, and self psychology theories (e.g., Atwood, Orange, & Stolorow, 2002) have referred to boundary confusion between inside and outside experience, and to deficits in attachment that make it subjectively too dangerous for the psychotic person to enter the same assumptinve world as the interviewer.

Aroace "discourse" is fucking weird because if you can understand how an agender person (someone with no gender) is trans and queer, surely you can understand how an aromantic or asexual person is queer.

I know we all love to say "fuck mystra" this and/or Gale's Folly (subtitled: How Could You Be Such A Callous Idiot)—but really, Gale and Mystra are primarily REALLY BAD at communicating. The whole issue started when Mystra a) couldn't provide a satisfying answer to Gale's desire for more, b) Gale decided that instead of being vulnerable and working through it, he'd do a Secret Project(TM), c) Gale didn't bother telling Mystra what said project was, and/or she only vaguely warned him off it. And then Gale rolled a nat 1 on his arcana check, and then a second nat 1 for insight b/c the DM was attempting to take mercy on him and was staring at Gale and the book, worrying 4d6 under the table while not breaking eye contact and saying, very slowly, "...are you sure?"

What do you think would happen if Seija used her powers to invert one of Yukari's gaps
It would probably just disappear. The opposite of “somewhere” is “nowhere”, and the opposite of “nothing” is “something”; so, if you reverse “nothing that links to somewhere” you get “something that links to nowhere”. Or, well, just the normal material world that would be there if the gap closed as usual.

"See, gorgug IS smart enough to be an artificer because zac oyama, the man playing him, figured out there's a connection between the crystals and raghs mom" I truly do not have the energy to explain to you people that there is a difference between a character's stats and the real life abilities of the person playing the game

hellaur i know this is unnecessary but i’d like to thank you for being a wavy feliciano truther. some ppl have the AUDACITY to draw the italians with straight hair and like?! i think it’s obvious that hima just DOESNT know how to draw unstraight hair, hence seychelles’ sad little 2a waves. i think the fandom should take the initiative to give everyone the different textured hair they deserve, and you are a fighter of that movement. thank you.
Doing my part 🫡 as an Italian with wavy hair
And I just think it fits him <3 he’s cute with wavy hair and I do love seeing it in other artist’s work too. Thank you ^^!!!

the fact that earlier I use to be this big empathetic person, being sad for others and feeling emotions too much..but now sometimes, I feel I'm being too apathetic or stoic uk? like yes i do hear other people's problems, try to understand their pov but smh I dont feel sadness or emotions rushing through me that much, like they did before. I feel this sense of logic flowing through me and now I think more with my head.

i think it's really cool how in most fanart i can easily figure out who's dorcas and who's mary even though there's not any canon description of their physical appearance (that i know of) other than 'black'
