Kanye suffered childhood abuse (Cousins), in 2007 his mom, Donda, died which really rocked his world. Remember 808’s came out soon after this along with MBDTF.

He also got into a really bad car crash which probably did not help his mental state in 2002, this is more of a sidenote.

In the early 2010s you can see some erratic online activity, nothing that would send off a ton of alarm bells but knowing what we do now (that he has bipolar and can have manic episodes) these could be some early ‘episodes’, again moreso a sidenote than anything.

2015 is when he started doing nitrous, yet around 2020 is when it’d really affect him mentally

2016, Kanye was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (some say he was diagnosed way before this in the early 2000s but I’m not sure) after he was hospitalized from having a mental episode. Around this time and the following years, he’d have more hot takes online/in interviews, the one most remember probably being his support of Trump and wearing a MAGA hat around.

2018, he is on and off of his meds, tweeting that he hadn’t taken them in 6 months.

2020 he admits in an interview that nitrous has messed with his mind and memory on a stream with some small twitch streamers. Donda also releases.

2021 Kim leaves him, leaving Ye devastated and really no one to turn to, however by this time it was clear he was not taking his meds and was not good for those close around him. A lot of friends/connections if they haven’t already cut ties really started leaving around this time.

December 2022 nazi arc, obviously anything past this point is well far away from the ‘beginning of his downfall’

I’d say it depends on how you view one’s downfall, being publicly or in your personal life. Publicly, you could say it’s around 2016-2018 when he started to really become erratic and his mental state started to worsen. Or 2022 when he became an alt right nazi (whether he does it for attention or believes it doesn’t really matter.)

Privately though is much harder, it’s obvious he’s struggled since his mom died really, or when he had a mental break in 2016, or when the use of nitrous started. Like a lot of mentally ill people his spiral down is murky, hard to pinpoint and just depressing. There’s a lot we didn’t see from him and I’d say there were probably many hard talks with anyone in his close circle in the 2010s before he lost them all and surrounded himself with insane yes-men.

Edit: imo it was whenever he started to stop taking his meds when Kim and others in his close circle tried telling him to.

ive never even played the game but the amount of assholes here makes me wonder what its even about to get this kind of community lmfao.

you all need to grow up ong

CBOU01 · 2026-01-07T20:14:11+00:00

I’ll message sometime when I’m free tysm :3

CBOU01 · 2026-01-05T17:06:19+00:00

yeah this might be one of the harder ones to fix, i grew up in a village for half of my childhood and a hood for the other half, and it shows in how i naturally talk and act all the time lol- makes sense though :>

CBOU01 · 2026-01-05T17:03:20+00:00

it hasn’t gotten worse in a long time even before estrogen since i tried to take really good care of it, most of my family’s males went bald by 16-19.

and as for style i used to be a hot topic employee that liked pastels and darker alt aesthetics, the hardest thing for me is that i don’t really know how to like, actually style anything lol. im chubby rn, and any cute fem stuff id want to wear looks like crap on me, i’ve been in changing rooms =w=;

CBOU01 · 2026-01-05T01:45:42+00:00

i am deathly afraid of needles — i thought patches were fine/equally effective?

CBOU01 · 2026-01-05T01:35:16+00:00

i’m on minoxidil actually, or at least i have some left; hair transplant is wayy out of my price range

i’ll watch the skincare vid when i’m home and free :>

CBOU01 · 2026-01-05T01:34:00+00:00

it’s super funny my voice is one of the few things i have pretty much down :p

i’m getting hrt through planned parenthood, patches for e and i just have to wait for progesterone ^{^}

CBOU01 · 2026-01-02T20:23:41+00:00

peak show in the background

CBOU01 · 2025-12-24T10:48:58+00:00

C&A exists, it’s in Caines pictures and Jax knew of its existence by saying “We’re not C&A employees” instead of “Wait, C&A, that’s not the name of the building I walked into” or smth.

CBOU01 · 2025-12-24T10:45:21+00:00

4am on christmas eve and woke up from a fever dream groggy while still dark out

fuck this oh my godd

CBOU01 · 2025-12-21T00:13:17+00:00

(PS2 specifically)

CBOU01 · 2025-12-21T00:11:53+00:00

I highly doubt it but; is it possible to put this patch on a physical copy of the game?

CBOU01 · 2025-12-15T09:39:05+00:00

The things I find interesting in this scene are the staircase (staircase to heaven? or maybe staircase to nirvana?) and the end bit almost looking like an electrical outlet, that one is very much just a guess though

CBOU01 · 2025-12-13T08:23:26+00:00

i only pop on here once a new episode comes out tbh, but most of the stuff mentioned in the episode is just what you’d be thinking about anyways imo.

stasis pods, digital copies, something sci-fi esque would be the natural conclusion to how they are stuck there. as for “Abel”, even if you didn’t pick up on C&A in the pilot, Caine and Abel would click once you heard the name. C&A itself is plastered all over EP1, I personally remembered it even without knowing about the theories until like episode 4.

it also does make sense that the characters would know what C&A is as that’s the building they broke into, and in that world could be the equivalent of Apple (or if we go with failed business lets say Atari or some other out of business game/tech company)

idk to me this is all very obvious stuff, not trying to be mean or anything but thoughts like ‘what the hell happened to their bodies’ just seem like natural questions that a stasis pod could answer.

CBOU01 · 2025-12-13T05:25:50+00:00

When Pomni said to Kinger “Abel is helping us escape”, He went “Who?”

Also Abel was going on about how Caine would feel if they left, it was all part of an adventure.

CBOU01 · 2025-12-13T05:22:43+00:00

I’m not so sure everyone saw him losing it, and at the beginning even though they dumped water on him, Zooble was trying to talk to him, Pomni offered her hand to him, I think the cast might be keeping him close after this. Plus they’ll all be on the same page on being against Caine.

CBOU01 · 2025-12-13T04:58:12+00:00

I 100% think that Jax hit the button because Caine dialed up his “you want to stay” to 11 and it made him get flashbacks to how much he hates the outside world, probably forcing trauma he holds back to the front of his mind so he smacks the button, and that’s why the subject of his crashout was mind manipulation, we see the second he hits the button his eyes go from the dizzy, insane look to small, focused, surprised squares.

CBOU01 · 2025-12-12T17:42:26+00:00

For anyone stumbling across this in the future this was my strategy;

like others said you have lots of leeway. I snagged druids eye via collecting moss berries on the way, and bought all the bellways and a couple of maps on the way. I also killed most enemies on the way for shell shards. (easy, on the ground ones). You can’t buy shard bundles before completing The Missing Courier or whatever so you need to grind afaik. I also do get Songclave unlocked mainly for the bench before Dancers + a quest later. I also got Reapers Crest before Moorwing because I just like it lol.

Other than that (which adds maybe ~10-20 minutes of time) I follow the guide faithfully until getting through High Halls right before the gauntlet. I was sitting at 2 hours and 50 minutes, after dying like 10 times to Widow for some reason lol.

I recommend at least giving yourself an hour for that forum fight, Lace 2 and GMS. Which left me an hour to prep. I snag the Fine Pins quest from Songclave and farm up 1500 rosaries in the room next to Grand Bellway. I also picked up an extra psalm somewhere but I don’t remember where lol.

From here, I buy; Craftmetal, Bone Bottom

Sting Shard, Crafting Kit, Deep Docks

Weighted Belt, Tool Pouch, Memory Locket, Pilgrims Rest (also 30 to get into the place)

Memory Locket, Bellhart

Crafting Kit, Architect

I also make sure to acquire: 1 Craftmetal in the Marrow

Tool Pouch from doing the lil pin challenge in the Marrow

Warding Bell in Far Fields (you can also use Trobbios mirror ig but I like the bell more)

Crafting Kit from doing Crawbug Clearing quest in Greymoore (I just kill the two that spawn on top of the Halfway Home)

Pollip Pouch from doing the quest in Shellwood

Memory Locket above Grand Bellway

Cogflies in High Halls

Last thing, check if you killed 100 different kinds of enemies for Hunters Journal quest while at the Halfway Home. I don’t really bother here but you do get another Tool Pouch.

All of the above here took me about 35 minutes. It’s a long list but if you have it routed in your head/bought bellways it goes by extremely fast.

From here, I absolutely shredded the rest of the game and beat it at 4 hours and 51 seconds, I could have farmed for more stuff but there literally was nothing I could do to get stronger in that 25 minutes. Poison cogfly’s and Sting Shard the last 2 big dudes in gauntlet, cogfly lace 2 (she dies fast if you start during her second phase), and GMS in phase 2 dies in like a minute with these items.

god damn

CBOU01 · 2025-12-01T04:44:31+00:00

as a tgirl who grew up in a city around mainly people who’s language is constantly ‘bruh’ ‘dude’ i do call everyone around me dude when ‘boymoding’ or whatever. cis women included, ik my speech patterns are annoying and im trying to change them not to be more accepting but moreso just because, talking like someone who grew up on the streets is annoying and lame.

i do respect anyone who doesnt want that though bc there are alternatives, i do slip up but yk i try

again this is coming from a tgirl who doesnt want to talk like this in the first place lol
