@JuulianaVeiga I've been calling it "dream lag". A dream based on memories lags behind your present situation, but at some point in the dream your brain recognises that it makes no sense for you to be in that setting so creates a rationalisation for why you are back there.

@poison029 He's what happens when someone with a level of autism that requires guardians to heavily guide and even place some limits on their independent decision-making is given full independent access to the internet. Usually it becomes less of a public spectacle and they just get scammed

@aBaldBlackWoman It's the late '70s and the third main character is a moustached man who likes disco and cohabitates with John. Either your theory is true or maybe Jim accidentally portrayed and then hastily corrected something the public could see as gay.

@reallifeSDN I feel like if artists want to answer questions like this it is best delivered like "well I thought of it like this..., but everything I wanted to make definitive was in the text".

@fortnitepomni Pomni hadn't been shown to have connected with or even had a conversation with Gangle at that point. So it's like if a loose acquaintance or coworker has a breakdown and you can't pretend to not see it but also aren't close enough with them to be comfortable with those emotions.

@ChristianityOn I worked with autistic teens with behavioural problems. A sticking point was that they often explicitly rejected "you should treat others how you would like to be treated". They would outright state that others must treat them well but they don't accept the same applies to them.

@MinModulation Marking at uni I saw that even though most could use proper academic language and give an impression of intelligence if hastily skimmed, when actually read their sentences were word salad with no meaning, or you'd have to generously guess at what they were trying to convey.

@viperwave Possibly a subtype of autism that nostalgia critic didn't originate but is the best available representation of.

@Shazam280 @20kgcarbon I've always interpreted the book as beginning in a way deliberately intended to appeal to guys with some degree of attraction to children—so that it can then grill them with the truth of where their fantasies would lead if they had the opportunity to act on them.

@Shazam280 @20kgcarbon Then he gets her and instantly switches to constant annoyance with her immaturity, isolating her and bribing or just outright forcing her into sex. The humour disappears and he seemingly stops trying to present himself well to the reader.

@hanuvo_SFW Seems like transition would reduce the more overt hostility, but consistent lack of concern for others and preoccupation with their own emotional needs to the detriment of others is usually a more persistent and stable personality trait.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 He had just had his sense of identity and understanding of the basic nature of reality shattered and been made to realise that the purpose of his existence is to be a prop in kid's imaginative play. So his confused mind latched on to the role he had been given by the little girl

@tylrz22 @SheevTalks Tonic immobility—common in small prey. Buzz can't overcome the instinctual reaction due to inexperience and lack of self-awareness, whereas Woody has developed the ability and willpower to regain voluntary movement.

@big_boy_berto I realised awhile ago that I had been using it incorrectly for years while delivering therapy, to more clients than I can count. Legitimately made me question my communication skills.

[guy @deeplyashamed]

@PreciousWizard Nothing wrong with working to become a better version of oneself, but their beliefs about their "true self" often seem less like an idealized version of themselves than an idealized other whose imagined life would be more enjoyable to live than their real one.

[guy @deeplyashamed]

@GoddessCynthiuh Which is especially hypocritical given their own fears. And hanging over it all is the fact that they're doing it not in a typical social context, but in a hopeless and stressful alien environ where something close to death happens to you if your mental state deteriotes too far.

[guy @deeplyashamed]

@GoddessCynthiuh Agreed, but the finale recontextualises it. In particular, times when Ragatha appeared insensitive, paranoid or overly sensitive. Also, Jax twice threatens to reveal embarrassing info about Gangle, suggesting they didn't just tease but actually developed then exploited trust.
