“By ascending to become purely mechanical, I have achieved immortality!" The necromancer stared at the cyborg and said one simple thing: "Flesh rots, metal corrodes, and code corrupts. All you did was change the type of rot.”
The waste-disposal robot overheard your boss calling you "trash" at work, and started trying to clean you up. This would be funny if it wasn't a mobile trash compactor the size of a hippo. It's been hunting you for five days now.

This is why the narratives we use to talk about mental illness matter so much. Right now, the dominant narrative is that mental illness is “an imbalance in the brain” and that it’s largely something that people are born with. There are upsides and downsides to this. The upside is that it promotes the idea that mental illness is not the ill person’s fault, and it helps us understand that mental illness can impact anyone, regardless of their life circumstances. The downside, however, is that it’s sort of given us this idea that mental illness is inborn and unchangeable. People have taken on the idea that “that’s just how my brain is”, when the reality is that, for most people, mental illness is less of a stable trait for them, and more of just a shitty thing that they are going through for a little while. The idea that mental illness is just “in your brain” also erases the very real connection between your life circumstances and your mental health - while it’s very true that a wealthy person in a happy marriage can become depressed, it’s also very true that living in poor conditions and being in an abusive marriage can be the cause of depression, and that improving your life circumstances can lessen or eliminate mental health conditions.
If you have a mental health condition, it’s very important that you not resign yourself to the idea that you’re going to be like this forever. Chances are, you won’t. Even if you have a mental health condition that is associated with low rates of remission, it is possible to make leaps and bounds in your functioning, and to get to a point where managing your condition becomes second nature to you. Our understanding of mental illness is improving every year, and new therapies and treatments are becoming available all the time. If you seek treatment and do your best to manage your condition, you have every reason to believe that you will make huge improvements.
“Psychiatric symptoms tend to peak in your 20s and generally drop off as you get older, especially if you seek treatment. ”
This line is especially important, because in your 20s big changes are (usually) happening in your life: you graduate school, have to decide where to go next (whether it be further education, training, etc.), some move out of their parents house, and so on.
That stress of change contributes to mental instability, which is often the spark that may ignite an episode, hereditary factors play into this as well.
As you get older, time passes in which you try lots of things. You learn to cope with and settle into this change, so even if relapses or bad days/weeks/months/years exist, you learn to compensate.
Do you have a Lord the Rings battle itch that hasn’t been scratched in years?
Go watch Wildwood.
It’s like the world’s greatest backscratcher for that itch.
The relief is glorious.
Seriously though, the movie got its PG-13 rating by the skin of its teeth. Because if it were live action, the rating would be a hard R. I would hold off on showing this to the little ones. Unless you want to give them trauma. Like how Gen Xers and older Millennials got childhood nightmares from watching The Dark Crystal too early. (“Oh, it’s the Muppets. How dark can the Muppets be….?”)
Fifth grade and up would be perfect.
But other than that, go see this movie. It’s pure art. It’s stunning. It is the very definition of the word “epic.” It took sixteen years to make this. And after seeing this, I can firmly place my hands on my hips and go, “Yep, that took sixteen years to make. And every second is on screen.”
bro Max you have got to get out of Mayview NOBODY here is normal and they are all individually loading Chekhov’s Gun and just waving it around like hoohoo heehee ^-^
