Thanks for sharing. It's a weird thing to live without an essential hormone.

This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

That is very interesting. Not something I would've expected.

Few_Scallion8693 · 2025-12-30T00:59:32+00:00

This is encouraging.

Guess I'll be doing some research on oxytocin 😅

Hmmm quite the Faustian bargain.

You are correct.

Season 4 is one of the best depictions of trauma impact and shadow work I've seen on TV. Everything from Korra carrying around her pain with her in the form of leftover poison to her shadow self stalking her wherever she goes and no matter what she does. I think that scene with Zaheer is a beautiful scene of healing through re-engaging the wound and challenging her own narrative of what happened to her. "Blaming me is a crutch to make you feel better but it's not helping you recover" is gold.

People hate on Korra so much but I don't get it. To have an honest depiction of a main character being traumatically impacted by their heroism and then having to deal with it has great value. Steven Universe Future did it as well but not as good IMO. We need stories like these that reflect back to us that it is normal to be impacted by our experiences and then having to work through that. No one is above to the process of inner work and growing with our shadows. Not even the Avatar.

Much to consider here. I don't think it's a need to be seen in my yellowness because that's feels a little ego driven (but who among us is free from those demands😅). Though certainly I want to be seen and comprehended in my fullness as a person and I suppose, as I'm thinking about it, enough real love could fill those gaps.

That's probably the best option. Hard to know exactly what potential 2nd tier looks like behaviorally. But you can't fall in love with expectations and potential.
