“I think you’re very likable, Simon.”
The man in the skull mask instantly jerks his gaze up to connect with the other man’s face, as if it’ll be obvious he was just joking.
Ghost’s therapist looks evenly back at him, blinking innocently.
“What,” the masked man finally grits, annoyed that he won’t even acknowledge the joke.
“You’ve convinced yourself that you’re scary enough to keep people from wanting to get to know you. I hate to tell you this, but it’s not working. I’ve liked you from the first session.”
The masked man glares down at his own scarred fingers, entwining them slightly atop his knees. “You’re paid to like people.”
“Something I find interesting about you is that you have, by your own words, a little gaggle of people in your life who won’t leave you alone. Follow you around everywhere, talk to you when they don’t have to, support you when you need it. What do you think is more likely, that lightning has struck you that many times, or that you might be a little bit likable?”
Ghost sits with that for a minute in silence, trying to manufacture a scenario in his own mind where different kinds of lightning just happen to strike the same spot, purely by nature of the infinite possibilities of the universe.
“I don’t like you,” he finally tells his kneecaps.
The therapist inwardly smiles. There it is again.
this oedipal ain't shit
Updated version of Boy Who Cried Wolf but there are actual wolves every single time and no one ever believes the boy - they get closer and closer every time he tries to warn them, until it's too late and the whole town screams at the boy for not warning them "enough", and blame him for the wolves at their door.
I may adore him a lill too much ok!!!!
that man has the demeanor of a sopping wet paper bag and the sluttiest little waist i’ve ever laid eyes upon and you want me to what? be normal about it?
☆can't you see that you're lost without me
PeTA has released a new ad on YouTube (May 12, 2021) that is unskippable. It's about helping owls at a research facility, that are being mistreated and abused, and I'm totally okay with helping animals out of horrible situations, but they showed it in the complete WRONG way. The unskippable ad has the high pitched and loud "screaming" and screching of the owls being mistreated, without any kind of warning. Me, being a person with PTSD and DID, it was very triggering, sending me into a panic. And I know this has been happening to other people, since me and some of my friends and their friends (who have mental illnesses and panic disorders like me) have had similar reactions to the ad. For anyone with mental illness, when you see an ad by PeTA, close out of the YouTube app or browser completely so that you don't have to go through it and try and report it. For others, please contact YouTube and report it in any kind of way you can (Twitter, FB, Insta, etc). PeTA has done this before, so please, when you see this reblog it to get it recognition. Thanks for anyone who read this, and a big thanks for reblogging. #stop PeTA
