to defeat the monsters we must become them

interesting, i'll give that a try

i think it's entirely psychological, like if i have something in a broth typically i'll be great untill there's no chunks or noodles and then i hate it

brings a whole loaf and a baguette next time

this is so depressing what the fuck

sorry they don't want mildred back in 2 months later, refusing to explain what she and albert did to her hip, what a tragedy

less humanoid robots more funky little guys

funnily enough i do believe a couple of tachikoma have a conversation about the fact that they're specifically not designed with humanoid bodies so that people will be less likely to personify/empathise with them

yes that's it exactly

says "frame" a million times like i'm sponsored by a glasses company (pair hmu)

but i'm also the kind of asshole who thinks sometimes revenge is good actually, so what do i know

it gets framed as something pious, almost. virtuous. but it's not. it's just a piece of processing your trauma. it's going "that shit sucked, but it happened and there's nothing i can do but move forward." understanding this makes me hate the word more, tbh. it makes it about them and not you.

there's a line from 'waiting for the beat to kick in' that goes around in my head sometimes: "if you can't forgive and forget, how's this? // forget forgiving and just accept that that's it" which imo has been useful to me to reframe it bc that's exactly what forgiveness is

nice
