“Your Trauma Made You Stronger!”

Love you for a thousand more. (Source)

When you can't say the word "philosophy", yet are the winner in a philosophical argument.

i can't help seeing the concept of "coming back wrong" as reflective of the aftermath of attempted (and unsuccessful) suicide. whether you gratefully accepted death at the end, or you struggled in terror in your final moments and wished you could somehow twist out of the way of your oncoming fate, the choice to die was taken from you. you failed to achieve the inevitable. how wrong must you be, to be unable to even die properly? how horrifying - and how utterly infuriating - would it be, to have everyone around you expressing gratitude or disgust at your resurrection, while you cannot even begin to articulate the depths of your own conviction that death, the inexorable maw itself, must have decided there was something just not right about you, and spat you out?

It wasn't the fact that everyone else's parents were proud of them, except for mine

It wasn't the fact that my parents never seemed to have time for me, so I settle for watching other kids with theirs

It wasn't the fact that I thought that a loving family was just a tv trope until I was invited over to other people's houses

It wasn't the fact that while other people's parents praised them, mine belittled me

It wasn't the fact that I had to rely on teachers and other parents' praise just to feel like I had someone in my life who liked me

It wasn't the fact that everyone else had goals for the future but I didn't see myself living to adulthood

No

It was the fact that my eyes were slits and my skin was jaundice compared to everyone else

It was the fact that people treated me like a zoo animal for their entertainment

It was the fact that everything I ate was poison compared to theirs

It was the fact that I had nobody else to relate to

It was the fact that I was the only one who didn't experience it

It was the fact that I was the only one who did experience it

It was the fact that my identity was nothing more than a punchline to them, just a joke

It was the fact that I had to pretend everything was fine and laugh

The only thing I can do is laugh, otherwise I'll just cry

That's what broke me

That's why I'm broken

I've always wanted to render this concept digitally, and I finally did!! 💞 My wrist can chill for a whileee lel. On a side note, thinking about their swapped backstories and character parallels is hella fun 🤭

When Mizu said “I have no interest in being happy, only satisfied.”

And then you think but bitch i love you i want you to be happy. Can you drop the revenge quest and just please try to be happy??

But then they hit you with Ep 5 and you see. Mizu did drop the revenge quest. Mizu lived in a beautiful countryside, got her Mama back, had a hallmark romance, and did drop the revenge quest. Mizu was happy. And what did Happy bring her? Only pain.

And then you understand. Mizu has no interest in being happy, only satisfied.
