Thoughts

  1. A wish to not be known(230225)

    I fantasise about running away, throwing myself into the scum of the world and becoming one with it, Because in the dark and dinge of it all I will be nameless. Just a story lost to the passing of time. Nothing will matter. Not the things they say Not the choices I make Not the life I lived Because at the end of he day, when all is said and done, We all end up six feet under the very same earth. Laid to rest and forgotten.
  2. Digital Minimalism - Post #7 - Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter In

    Extreme Pessimism Ahead and I will NOT reply to debate-provoking comments. In the past few weeks, I have learned a harsh lesson: There is no hope. The world is falling apart- I don't care what side you are on or if you think I am wrong. That's fine. But for me. I realized I have to accept what I must. That is, the world is falling part from where I stand. Only when I do that, can I find peace. I think we can all relate to when we jump on our phones and begin searching news, hoping...
  3. It Began in a Tavern - Ravenna's Themes

    Because I have too many songs now that I started looking. Ravenna's main theme is: I heard this song and it screams Alisso: And this one, too. Oddly, I was looking for this one when I remembered the one above: Finally, for Nari: And for overall character plot, I felt like this song was pretty relevant to Ravenna's story arc:
  4. Stigma and Thoughts

    When you are out and about, walking amongst people, do you reflect on who they are? What their stories are? Sometimes you can see tired eyes or gloomy looks, the way they dress can also be an indicator as to how they're doing. But most of the time you have no idea who they are or what they struggle with. Some people have called me handsome, I wear somewhat decent clothes, and I take regular showers. I look pretty healthy. So it might surprise people that I have schizophrenia. It's something...
  5. Working on Digital Minimalism - Post #2 - Productivity

    I didn't think I would have people actually read my post. Thanks for the feedback and @Madman asked about if doing this detox makes me more productive. I gave a short response, but wanted to elaborate on the topic. In short, yes. It has made me MORE productive. I no longer do dishes and wonder 'did Y write me back?' or 'I gotta finish these quick so I can make sure I didn't miss anything happening online.' Sure, we all have these thoughts, but I think less and less about the internet when...
  6. Working on Digital Minimalism - Post #1

    I don't know when I really began this journey to cut down on my internet time, but I know I have come a long way. Now, something I am trying to do is make my internet 'smaller'. So, instead of all the sites in the world at my fingertips, I have picked the top 5. 1. Email. 2. This site 3. Youtube 4. Reddit and I am trying to keep only to Dark Souls, Notebook, and Chocolate content. (r/chocolate is a treat!) 5. Can't think of this one right now, but it's an open slot, I guess. The key I...

  7. Best Laid Plans

    Spoke to my psychiatrist a few days ago about wanting to study English. She recommended me not to at this stage, which I understand. But I still find it a bit sad. When I first got sick, they told me that the university would still be there when I got better. That was about eight years ago. Now it feels like a distant dream or something that may never happen again. I loved the university days that I attended. To explore English with like-minded enthusiasts was exhilarating. I was good at...
  8. An Idea for Dealing with Crime and Gangsters

    Hit them over the head with an electrified morning star (a type of modernized medieval weapon) and conscript them into an auxiliary armed service. Gangsters in Sweden, I believe, are resourceful haters of normality. They seek the life they do, not necessarily because of poverty, but because they want to live on the edge. They want to feel powerful and relevant. In our big society, feeling relevant can be a difficult achievement. There are millions of people who all seek their way in life....
  9. The Synthesizing Imagination—Working Out my own Understanding of Coleridge's Concepts

    In which Xoic the Mighty attempts to disambiguate and disseminate Coleridge's ideas concerning the Fancy and the Imagination (two different kinds).

  10. First jokes

    This took me roughly 45 mins to write these jokes. This is my first attempt at writing basically anything. Let me know what you think and how you think I could make them better. Do you give a shit what happens to your body after you die? Fuck that I don’t. Bury me, cremate me, cook me and feed me to the neighbors, I don’t care. Shove a stick up my ass and wield me around like a puppet for a goof at Halloween time I like how enough people have choked themselves to death while jerking off...
  11. Reading Tracker 2024

    I am now at 82% of my goal! I have read or listened to 41 books out of 50! We're almost there! So far I have dipped my toes into newer horror titles, Ray Bradbury, Orson Wells, Terry Prachett, Sarah J Maas, to name a few. It's been a great summer of reading so far, and I wonder how many I'm going to end up hitting before I get to the end of the year Always exciting!

  12. The Stanislavski System and Method Acting

    One of the most important tenets that led to Chris Claremont's success as a writer was the fact that he was trained in acting. I've been trying to find anything online where he talks about what type or style of acting he studied, but so far haven't been able to. But I believe it must be some variation of the famous Stanislavsky System (which in the US has a variation, taught by Lee Strasberg, called Method Acting). This is deeply psycholgical, character-driven stuff. Most of the powerful and...
  13. The Nature of Human Nature

    Since a profound Humanity turned out to be the connecting factor in all of my favorite superhero stories, it only makes sense to move to the next question—what exactly is it that makes us human? It just so happens this morning YouTube dropped both of these videos into my feed:
  14. Netflix Daredevil Analysis—The Dual Self

    The Dual Self At the simplest level a superhero is two different people because they have a secret self (the superhero). They live as an ordinary human being, and also as a crusader for justice who has special abilities. In the eighties, like many aspects of superhero comics, this idea got upgraded. I don’t know where it first happened, but I noticed it in the Tim Burton Batman movies—the idea of Bruce Wayne and Batman being two different people had become more complex and psychological. It...
