i just want to talk about the fact that i'm still mad about how akira gets perceived when he's very clearly not just a self-insert, he's just a chameleon and people pleaser. he doesn't want to rock the boat with anyone and attempts to give them answers that they want to hear and not cause strife within the relationships he tries to cultivate in order to not go through even more than he already is.
not to mention he got sucked into the life of a persona user where the one thing he wasn't supposed to do which is get into trouble is challenged with his own pressing moral obligation to help.
he didn't have to, but he was initially kinda thrust into helping and got in trouble anyways so why not go all the way? but even then, his confidence and swagger are feigned for the most part because he's also thrust right into a leadership role because of his status as a wildcard. like there's obviously choices you can make for him, but in the times that you can't, you can really see that he's just a teenager that's really been hurt and highly affected by people treating him badly.
it's highly suggested that his own parents thought of him as a sudden problem child and didn't believe him when he plead his case. he likely had a 'normal' relationship with them in the first place where he didn't really talk much to them but to suddenly be alienated and drove off to a strangers place in another city entirely can cause a lot of damage to someone's perception of themselves and cause so much self-doubt on what they deserve and how they should be treated because of it. and he kinda just... rolls with it and accepts it as further punishment for stepping into an adult world until he gets his persona.
but even then!!! even THEN he still deals with that repetitive self-doubt issue where he wonders if he should cower back after nearly every mission!! you can see it in the dialogue options!! and if you treat those as thoughts you choose from, it becomes a lot more clear that his psyche is damaged from adults and his peers! he's not infallible and immune to it, no matter how the player perceives the daily goings on. he still thinks about it constantly, and i really do think he experiences night terrors from the ptsd of all that he keeps cooped up in him.
because it's not just being a victim of shido's drunken rampage. it's the fact that he's a child and he's forced to rise up over and over again against people that wouldn't care if his life was entirely ruined and plan on doing just that. the horrors of humanity that he's put through repeatedly and the stress of knowing that it's on him especially to make sure they pull through. it's so much to put on one man's shoulders, let alone a teenagers who's expected to practically be an adult but still know his place, get good grades, stay out of trouble, and not be heard.
ok so first off WE GOT INTO THE FINALIST ROUND FOR AWE'S FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGE!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

when this technology becomes as ubiquitous as smartphones (and it WILL, possibly even sooner than we think), this is the future we want people to be able to look forward to... and the first step of getting to that future is proving that it's one people actually want.
“I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know that I survived.” - the way of kings. brandon sanderson

My sister and I just got done re - bingeing "Percy Jackson and The Olympians" so we could finally watch the last two episodes and OMG . . . . . . . . . . . . IT WAS SOOOO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!!!! WE LOVED IT. It's such a good show, there better be many more seasons to this show!!??!!! 🤞 I'll be pissed if it gets cancelled for some reason. I enjoyed the whole season a lot but episode 7 and 8 were my favorite.
when you read your own than/ares fic and remember how much you love ares unexpectedly being soft and insecure and he's afraid of hurting than, whereas than's just been staring at ares arms all day and can't stop thinking about getting fisted and how full he'd feel and asks ares and ares is so concerned that he's going to hurt thanatos but they prepare thanatos well and he takes ares fist and ares just watching in awe that someone trusts him this much to want and have his hands that have wrought so much inside of them. so yeah just those thoughts going around in my head while I'm sick.

Watching the Percy Jackson series and pointing to the screen every time something I remember from the books happens or any time foreshadowing for a future scene happens. I love finally having a book accurate Percy Jackson adaptation
I feel like it doesn't make the most sense but *maybe*, just *maybe* whittling down my obscene number of save files might help cure my sudden lag issue with bg3 😶
