A Fall Theory on Neverland and Youth

There is potential in the entertaining possibility of contrasting the brothers’ “dotage” and apparent age and appearances with the Lost Boys’ youth. We already know Rafal gets tired of the youth and life around him. We’ve already seen him feel at ease in an old body, and compare himself to the reclusive Rabid Bear Rex.

Rafal: These Id-driven freaks!

Rhian: [sigh] Be polite, Rafal. You were a child once.

Now, briefly onto a concept of Freudian childhood since I find it relevant. Not all children are cherubic. Some are Id-driven little freaks! Through no real fault of their own. They just haven’t been taught societies’ standards. It is parents and society that form a child’s Superego after all. The Id is the only structure we’re born with, and has no need to develop.

Next, it’s a common-enough refrain that children are cruel, merciless, and demanding. (If you’ve ever read the impactful short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury, that’s a good point of reference.) They exhibit unsociable behavior. There’s even such a thing called Peter Pan Syndrome. Thus, I would think everything is a game in Neverland, or so treated as a game by its inhabitants. If anything, I think Neverland politics are probably some ludicrous version of Never politics but burlesque and childish. It was said to be founded by Nevers. Probably, it’d be a wild mix of obvious egocentrism, greed, all about gain and profit (the pirate element to it), deception, living in the moment, probably involving some measure of hedonism, impulsivity, incivility, actual antisocial behavior, and zero trust among all parties. So basically, children exploit each other, and have no loyalties, except to themselves. Children are fundamentally unreliable. Driven entirely by instinct, consumed by it. The Pan is probably an amoral being.

And, Soman has such vivid characterization always. It must be in his nature to be edgy. It would be nice, nay, immensely satisfying, to see "child" characters that aren't paragons of purity and innocence but in fact, something of the opposite. This is a fascinating idea, partly derived and interpreted from the retelling of Peter Pan from Beasts and Beauty or something I heard about a particular view on children, being bloodthirsty, backstabbing, demanding retribution, being uncivilized and wild without any parental or societal influence to form their morals in a vast, isolated wilderness, in a world that isn’t ruled by the tyranny of adulthood. Although, this idea may actually belong to J. M. Barrie. Soman probably draws from it. I've never read the original Peter Pan, so I wouldn't know.

In a Modern AU:

For context, Rhian is a literature professor who has to deliver a talk at a conference about the chivalric romance genre, and he can't drive himself safely while his stomach is turning with anxiety. And besides, he has to rehearse his speech. However, he did not agree to Rafal being the one to drive him.

[Rhian is standing by the side of the road, on the driveway. Rafal is already in their car, in the driver's seat.]

Rafal: Get in. What are you standing there like a sluggard for?

Rhian: What! No! You're a maniac on the road, Rafal! I'd rather take my chances with Thanatos behind the wheel than you. I'll take the train to my conference instead.

Rafal: [shrugs and says mockingly,] Pardee, suit yourself, Eros. [He presses down on the gas pedal, and speeds off into the distance with an astronomical acceleration, tires skidding through a clouded puddle with a great SPLOOSH, soaking Rhian to the bone—all while wearing an expression that rather did resemble one of a patient who ought to be sealed in a psychiatric ward.]

Rhian: [He remains dead still, trying to keep his hands from shaking with fear and anger, so he won't strangle Rafal the next time he turns up. Then, he blinks the frigid, bone-numbing slush out of his eyes and attempts to stave off the heat of public ridicule in his face, but he's still cold, wet, and redder than ever, and just heaves a resigned sigh.] I'll ready the straitjacket for when he gets arrested.

⸻

If anyone would to know what exactly were the references the brothers made, here are some quotations I've found to explain them:

"In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive is the drive toward death and destruction, often expressed through behaviors such as aggression, repetition compulsion, and self-destructiveness."

"Eros was the god of love, fertility, and passion in ancient Greece. Thanatos was the human manifestation of death."

"Thanatos, or the death drive, generates the tendency of an organism to seek its own destruction and return to a state of non-existence."

"In Freudian psychology, eros, not to be confused with libido, is not exclusively the sex drive, but our life force, the will to live. It is the desire to create life, and favors productivity and construction. In early psychoanalytic writings, instincts from the eros were opposed by forces from the ego. But in later psychoanalytic theory, eros is opposed by the destructive death instinct of Thanatos (death instinct or death drive)."

"Whether by "first sight" or by other routes, passionate love often had disastrous results according to the classical authors. In the event that the loved one was cruel or uninterested, this desire was shown to drive the lover into a state of depression, causing lamentation and illness. Occasionally, the loved one was depicted as an unwitting ensnarer of the lover [...]"

⸻

Also, you can expect the concept of the Thanatos drive to make a minor appearance in Rafal's psyche in TOTSMOV41, if I have the opportunity to allude to it. I think the concept just lends itself well to Nevers in general. And, the Eros drive, its counterpart, works just as well for most Evers.

Me, a sex-repulsed ace, reading about Fraud's Freud's psychosexual theory:

“C'è una storia dietro ogni persona. C'è una ragione per cui loro sono quel che sono. Loro non sono così solo perché lo vogliono. Qualcosa nel passato li ha resi tali, e alcune volte, cambiarli è impossibile.”

Vontade de gritar.

Durante toda mimha vida, fui ensinado e conduzido a ter uma vida honesta, repleta de trabalho e boas escolhas seguras. E por muito tempo, acreditei que tudo isso seria o suficiente e que no final, ganharia felicidade como brinde. Os anos foram passando e todos os dias deito em minha cama, e fico desejando ser o maior filho da puta do planeta.

Criou-se no fundo da minha mente um ideal que deveria ser e seguir, sinto como se fosse um animal selvagem enjaulado esperando alguém corajoso para o libertá-lo. Esse personagem no id quer ser liberdadeo. Meu Ego por outro lado reprime com forca, porem um dia ainda acredito ve lo livre. Vamos chamar esse personagem se Henrique, o mesmo nome do jovem que fazia bullying comigo na escola, e o mesmo que sentir senti inveja de sua beleza e tesao.

Esse personagem que ser o maior filho da puta com todos ao redor. Ele quer viver sozinho, em uma casa grande, envolvida nos conceitos budistas, minimalistas que ele deseja seguir. Henrique é extremamente organizado, limpo, e possui um ótimo gosto para decoração, produtos no geral, inclusive de higiene pessoal e skincare.

Henrique treina todos os dias para manter o corpo equilibrado com a mente. Ele é centrado e não se importa com a opinião de ninguém. Aliais ele acha que seja superior a certas pessoas e não se envergonha disso. Ele é esperto, inteligente e possui grande quantidade de dinheiro provida de suas manipulações e empreendimentos valiosos criado por sua mente livre.

Henrique gosta de abusar sexualmente de pessoas fracas, fisicamente e psicológicamente porque acredita que seja mais que o suficiente para aquele ser. Ele desenvolveu uma compulsão por perfeição que choca as pessoas ao seu redor e sua beleza máscula só reflete esses traços.

Ele pensa em poder bater em certas pessoas, e já atropelou uma pessoa só por onda. Henrique é adorado em sua comunidade porém não se importa com ninguém nem mesmo seus familiares. Ele é frio, calculista e gosta de causar confusões para manter-se distraído.

Criou-se uma sociopatioa, uma estranheza com o mundo físico, manteve-se equilibrado e chegou em um estado puro de sensates e otimismo. Ele vive sendo o maior entre os seres que compreende a função da existência. Ele vai concluir sua passagem sendo o mais puro filho da puta.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and they will come forth later in uglier ways.

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, surrounded by assholes.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

Moja osoba rodzicielska posiada termomixa więc jak mogę nie reblogować

Plus. Jbc boy moms

Przez przypadek wyszedł nam dwumiesięcznik. Tym razem chcemy celowo wzbudzić kontrowersję. Było dużo pracy przy studniówce, ja całe ferie miałem zawalone więc nie robiłem wtedy nic przy zinach. Nawala nam drukarka, nie wiem co z propagowaniem fizycznych kopii. Po znajomości mogę ręczni poprawić kilka ale całego nakładu raczej nie bo zajmie to za dużo czasu. Na razie zarobiliśmy złotówkę więc drukowanie w bibliotece też odpada. Jeśli ktoś chce się podjąć pomocy to zapraszam do DM-ów.

Özür dilemek, sizin haksız olduğunuz anlamına gelmez. Karşınızdaki insana verdiğiniz değerin egonuzdan yüksek olduğunu gösterir.

Sigmund Freud

It is that we are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love, never so helplessly unhappy as when we lost our loved object or its love.

Sigmund Freud - Civilization and Its Discontents

my fav quote by freud is definitely the one where hes writing to his fiancee and hes like im gonna make you eat so much you are just a little weak baby and im a big cokehead

Everything that sounds and looks like an orgasm is an orgasm

Freud more or less

Seriously, who personally really has anything against a fake orgasm?

Only those who weren't there!

It may well be that the honour of the person concerned is hurt if you find out, but ultimately the motto here is the same as with most cool things - the main thing is to be part of it.

Writing Rant: Adam/Playboy Ship Complex

It's 9:03 and I have a wedding to get to in the morning so let's speed this up!

Basically, I am going to be focusing on a point I brought up about how stories attempting to write queer men with a heteronormative gaze tend to ascribe hyperfeminine men to the role of women even to the point of giving them the same tropes.

PART BL: The MADONNA/WHORE COMPLEX EXPLAINED

Quick explanation time, skip if you already know! TLDR; The Madonna/Whore Complex describes how men view women through a reductive lense. Either women are the:

Madonna: Enigmatic and unattainable or a domestic down-to-earth goddess. Both subtypes are united by their lack of overt sexuality and a distinct and desirable femimine charm.

or

Whore: Sexually attainable and often judged for their sexual desires. They're desirable but not respected as humans with the freedoms they're allowed to enjoy having to fit the fantasy of a sex bomb.

BUT HOW DOES APPLY TO BL STORIES?

If you have read any mlm story on either Wattpad or AO3 you can already tell.

You have the protagonist who typically falls into the enigmatic unattainable doll/Adam archetype with soft porcelain skin and doe-eyed expressions of innocence despite being in their early twenties. They're often younger than their love interest by several years in order to further highlight a power imbalance between the love interest and them.

The name Adam has further symbolism due to the fact that when the male lead and love interest have sex for the first time there is an undercurrent of moral corruption with the normally enigmatic and reserved protagonist turning into a moaning mess with creepy narration about how the protagonist isn't "pure" anymore. Adam as a biblical figure is often said to have been corrupted by the sinful presence of Eve and the apple.

The protagonist is challenged by a "Playboy" character who desires the Male Lead. The character is often portrayed in darker clothing and behaves exceedingly similar to the figure of the Femme Fatal.

You also have several plotlines based on the Madonna/Whore Complex which repeatedly appear in heteronormative queer stories.

"Good Girl Boy Who "Saves" The Sinful Man"

" The Redemption Of The "Playboy" Through Love"

"Wife Vs Mistress/Husband Vs Mistress"

"The Moral Fall Of Adam"

I witnessed peak comedy in college when we watched an uttly serious ww2 documentury about the Freudians who tried to psychoanalyze Hitler for the U.S. government and declared, sans any sort of irony, that even though Hitlers' father verifiably beat him black and blue and left him for dead, the true cause of his omnicidal tendancies was that his mother might have theoretically scolded him for wetting the bed maybe.

Do We Suffer Because We Have “Free Will”?: Answering Bart Ehrman

By Bible researcher and author Eli Kittim 🎓

In his blog post (entitled “Do We Suffer Because We Have ‘Free Will’?”), Bart Ehrman asked the question whether the Christian response to evil and suffering is sufficient. He asked the question whether or not we suffer because we have so-called “free will.”? He then proceeded to show that in spite of the fact that people can choose to mistreat their fellow man, there are other things, like plagues and natural disasters, that go far beyond human free-will in causing suffering and death, such as droughts, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, diseases, and so on and so forth. Bart Ehrman, therefore, concluded that there is no satisfactory answer. In response, I have created a systematic theology of evil to try to explain how all these phenomena are possible from a biblical perspective and that, unlike science, the Christian response is the only one which demonstrates that suffering has a meaning and a purpose. So let’s start at the beginning.

The presence of evil is not limited to the brain and to human thought and behavior (i.e. free will), but it permeates all of creation and the natural order. If you study diseases and viruses, you will quickly come to realize that they act as if they were highly intelligent and sophisticated computer programs that are intended to hack and infiltrate a host (e.g. they mimic, hide, and impersonate it) and then, at the right time, they duplicate themselves inside the nucleus (or the headquarters of the host, so to speak) in an attempt to overwhelm and destroy it. It’s as if diseases, say, like cancer, have a mind of their own. This represents evil at the biological, chemical, genetic, or physiological level.

We can also detect this battle of good and evil being played out in the physical world of matter and antimatter. When matter and antimatter come into close contact, they mutually annihilate each other. One could say that evil, death, and destruction exist just as much in the material world as they do in human consciousness. The presence of evil, death, and destruction in the physical world consists of antimatter, which comprises antiprotons, antineutrons, and so on. Therefore, life and death are played out on a cosmic scale between matter and antimatter, as well as between health and well-being, on the one hand, and illness and disease, on the other. In fact, Paul stresses that the whole of creation will one day be reversed from its present state of entropy in which the universe is gradually declining into chaos and disorder (Romans 8:21-22):

the creation itself also will be set free from

its slavery to corruption into the freedom of

the glory of the children of God. For we

know that the whole creation groans and

suffers the pains of childbirth together until

now.

So, when we speak about the problem of evil in our world, it isn’t as simple as reducing it to “free will” and saying that humans choose to act in accordance with either life or death. That’s because this destructive force also permeates the physical world (e.g. natural disasters, plagues, etc.), as well as the metaphysical world. In the Bible, Ephesians 2:2 attributes the origin of all this cosmic death and entropy to an autonomous metaphysical being who is said to be the "prince of the power of the air,” and whom John 12:31 describes as the "ruler of this world.” In 2 Corinthians 4:4, Paul attests to the enormous power that this entity possesses by calling him “the god of this world,” as if he has ontological status and somehow reigns over the entire world and its people. In other words, these computer-like viruses that we call “diseases,” as well as the antimatter that tries to destroy matter, are somehow guided by this malevolent metaphysical intelligence that is invisible to the naked eye. That’s precisely why Revelation 9:11 refers to this supernatural being as a king called “Abaddon”——whose name in Hebrew means “destruction”——who is said to be the chief angel of the abyss!

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, realized that both life and death exist side by side and reside within human beings. He called these principles eros (life) and thanatos (death). You may call them good and evil, or God and the devil, if you will. The point is, there’s a cosmic battle taking place on many levels of existence (biological, physical, natural, cognitive, and metaphysical) between life and death, between creation and destruction, between being and nonbeing, between matter and antimatter, between good and evil, and ultimately between God and the devil!

This cosmic war comes to a head during the consummation of the ages when the universal battle between the gods will take place. We are told in the Bible that life will ultimately triumph over death, and that light will prevail over darkness. This cosmic battle is summarized in Revelation 12:7-8. That’s why in 1 Corinthians 15:23-28, we are told that, in the end-times, Christ will abolish “all rule and all authority and power” and reign over them. “The last enemy that will be abolished is death.” Thus all physical laws of the universe, including the entities that have been acting autonomously, will finally come under the control of Christ. At that time, “All things are put in subjection” to Christ. That’s precisely why there will be a new universe, namely, a new heavens and a new earth (Rev. 21:1). So, there is much more at stake here than one realizes. It’s true that humanity is at a precipice. But more than that, the future of the entire universe, and of “reality“ itself, is at stake.

Fortunately, Revelation 21:4 informs us that this cosmic battle, which has been causing so much pain and suffering for hundreds of thousands of years, will finally come to an end, and life will ultimately triumph over death. All the cosmic forces of death and destruction will be completely abolished and eliminated. This is, in fact, the ultimate purpose of the universe and of humanity itself. Thus, Revelation gives us something worth looking forward to:

He will wipe away every tear from their

eyes; and there will no longer be any death;

there will no longer be any mourning, or

crying, or pain; the first things have passed

away.

In 1 Corinthians 2:9, Paul reveals this future world as a fantastic vacation spot of utter bliss, contentment, fun, joy, peace, happiness, and satisfaction:

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have

entered into the heart of man The things

which God has prepared for those who love

Him.
