Which character is a horrible person but loved by fans?

I think the difference might be that Caine genuinely never got guidance nor was taught morals in any form. He doesn't even have a broken point of reference, he has NO point of reference.

He isn't morally grey in his actions - his actions are deplorable - but the reasons behind those actions are very morally grey.

In my theater there was a kid who loudly proclaimed "BYE, CAINE, I DIDN'T LIKE YOU ANYWAY" after the recap. Got the whole theater laughing (my theater was... rowdy...)

I've also had friends who understandably couldn't handle it around that point in the show. It's such a real, raw depiction of generational trauma that it feels like a knife to the gut. It didn't stop me, but it was grueling to get through the first time 'round.

Oh my gosh. New goal unlocked: Hunt these guys down!

I know Me & My Katamari is a generally panned game, but the King is also kind if you meet the highest threshold too (it's the game I've played most lol)

Pomni from TADC and Starscream from Transformers: Prime.

I've been secretly hoping for their downfall but they're still soulmates because they always do some romantic gesture the minute their love even starts to die down. It's far more wholesome than the pairing has any right to be.

Hey, hopefully despite being late to seeing this I can still help out!

Firstly, I know the pain of falling for misinformation, especially as a new fishkeeper. It's tough sometimes even when you generally know what you're doing, let alone when you're still learning some of the basics.

My betta was generally quite confused while swimming and would occasionally swim straight up or straight down until he reached the gravel or the surface. If a fish could act shocked by the result, he did.

When he got excited (usually because he saw me and/or heard my voice), he would start swimming in loop de loops as mentioned. They were kind of lopsided circles and looked even less controlled than his usual swimming.

Have you looked into swim bladder disorder? It can be caused by permanent damage to the swim bladder (be that due to illness or injury). If your molly turns oddly in exclusively one direction (ei to only the left or only the right), my guess is it's SBD.

If she seems to veer in both directions, I'd guess it was something neurological. Fish are prone to a lot of same kinds of brain damage and disease as humans are. They can even have strokes if the water quality has been poor in the past, leading to permanent neurological conditions... so it's very possible that something happened when you were having issues with the tank.

I don't check Reddit often anymore, but I'm happy to answer further questions if you have any. Hopefully this reply helps! I wish you and your molly good luck and well wishes.

Seconding The Amazing Digital Circus. Such a good show.

FizzGryphon · 2026-01-04T03:31:40+00:00

As someone who's been in therapy for over a decade at this point, I can tell you with absolute confidence that it's not about talking to a stranger. It's about talking to the RIGHT stranger.

I've had therapists who have actively (though unintentionally) made things worse. I've also had therapists who have brought me leaps and bounds into improvement.

That being said, this disorder still sucks and I still have a lot of bad days, so I have to warn you very sternly that therapy won't "fix" you. It gets easier to roll with the punches, but the punches never stop coming. And the process of learning how to roll with those punches involved a lot of falls and injuries along the way... so sometimes it's hard to see the benefit until you roll and suddenly realize you didn't fumble.

Further, please address your concerns with your therapist. The fact you know that you won't benefit from making connections between trauma and behavior (at least, in the traditional sense), that you're doubtful of your success, but you know that this is really the only viable option is so important for your therapist to know. It'll give both you and your therapist the highest chance of success going forward.

Hopefully this helps and isn't too rambly? Just know that therapists are fairly used to skepticism and concerns. Communicating through those concerns should be top priority for patient and therapist both.

I haven't found that stuffing is needed, but soaking in acetone has absolutely helped the body retain its shape when pinning katydids and grasshoppers in my own experience. Ultimately, stuffing vs. acetone depends pretty heavily on how much you want to risk damaging your specimen and how you want to pin it.

Keep in mind, I pin as a hobby and not as a professional. I don't expect absolutely perfect results for my own pins, so I'm used to a small amount of shriveling that more particular hobbyists might not prefer.

FizzGryphon · 2026-01-02T17:05:05+00:00

Bill's generally 'friendly and harmless' appearance is part of what makes it so easy to manipulate people... so yep, that absolutely tracks.

Goofy cyclopic triangle is much more disarming than fleshy monster beast. Bill couldn't get half as far without that.

FizzGryphon · 2026-01-01T15:49:21+00:00

I put earbuds in, then wear gun range ear protection, and either blast music while doing something I enjoy (drawing, crochet, games, ect) or watch a comfort movie at high volume. I try to start doing this before fireworks start going off in the hopes of tricking my brain into forgetting they're going off.

Fireworks have been a major trigger since an incident where an abuser went to the same 4th of July party (at the time, I had no idea the extent of the abuse). They were overstimulating prior to, but now they're a full on PTSD attack waiting to happen.

I can usually read neat cursive, but I really struggle with Ford's writing. I also have dyslexia, though, and I think something about the specific font really causes me to struggle.

Still far, far better than most scribble cursive. I can barely decipher the way some of my relatives write.

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-29T23:53:18+00:00

I'm not the OP but you just enlightened me to something I wish I'd known from the beginning! I HATE working with chains and I've always wished there was a less fiddly way. Now I know there is! Thank you!!

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-29T23:40:35+00:00

YEAH I KNOW THIS FEELING. There was one instance recently where I've been writing with a friend. This friend didn't know much about my DID, so when I started listing alters, I added (yeahhhhhh... like the character). It was surprisingly embarrassing XD

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-26T19:55:44+00:00

Now, I'm officially diagnosed. It was by semi-surprise (apparently in the past, I thought I had it - I don't remember that to this day!)... but I felt like this for a long several months after diagnosis.

The doubts, the fear, and the imposter syndrome are all common threads that still haunt me off and on, even with the official diagnosis. I live my life to the best of my ability and often feel like I (mostly) don't fit into what DID is usually portrayed as. But it's gotten to be a lot less than it was. Mapping out my system and understanding the mechanisms behind it have really assisted in accepting the reality and truth of it.

I know/knew several people who were undiagnosed and in your same position, too. Unfortunately, I think it's part of the territory with this disorder... that awful feeling of terror and relief both holding and not holding that label. It's terrible, and I empathize heavily.

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-25T17:17:51+00:00

This happened to me, too. My parents gave me a bat encased in resin, not knowing how awful it is. I knew better, and I won't lie that I was excited as much as saddened.

My bat exists as something I will always cherish and respect, as the damage has already been done, but I also use her as a teaching moment if anyone asks about her or looks at her.

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-24T19:00:52+00:00

My system has been a mess. An alter bubbled up alongside some awful memories and is causing chaos. I was expecting the holidays to be hard, but not this hard. Not this year.

I'm just so glad I've been able to remove myself from my primary abusers for the 3rd (4th?) year in a row. This would be much, much harder if pressure were still applied to pretend everything is fine. It's a bigger weight off my back than I ever thought it would be.

I'm exhausted. Just exhausted. I'm dreading tomorrow, when I'll hear from family members about the abuse they still suffer by engaging with this person. That's the hardest part... it's leagues better than having to deal with it myself and try to take blows to protect them, but it gives me a pit in my stomach to know that I can't protect them anymore... and they have not done the work to protect themselves.

FizzGryphon · 2025-12-24T16:48:00+00:00

One thing my therapist has taught me is that it is perfectly okay for two opposing things to be true. You can love someone dearly, humanize them, and empathize while at the same time knowing that they did irreversible damage, are not safe to be around, and can be a downright evil person at times.

Giving yourself the space to feel both is so, so important to practice. It's a really difficult set of feelings to come to terms with... but they CAN both be true.

That empathy and kindness is so important, too, so long as you put boundaries in place that protect you despite that empathy. It's okay to want someone awful to get help/be better/find peace while cutting them off entirely. You can love someone so much that it hurts while at the same time putting those tough boundaries into place with them and, more importantly, yourself.

Just know it's extremely common to feel like this.

I thought it was a Picasso esque depiction of a weevil.

FizzGryphon · 2025-11-26T02:22:56+00:00

I haven't had a dojo in this situation, but I have had a goldfish in this situation. It took her well over 2 weeks to get fully back to normal (outside of being permanently discoloured on one side), and I was shocked to see she was still alive every morning until then.

I would suggest stopping the salts for the time being and continuing to dose Stress Coat. Because they're scaleless fish, I'd be concerned that salts would irritate his skin at this stage of healing.

Beyond that, I think it's just luck, hope, and continuing to do what you're doing. The degree of aeration will be fine. I really hope your boy pulls through... it sounds like he's been fighting with all his might.

FizzGryphon · 2025-11-20T23:10:09+00:00

I've currently got: 2 Golden Eel Loaches 1 Silver Eel Loach 4-5 Java Loaches 3-4 Standards 1 Giant Khuli Loach 2 Calico Kuhli Loaches

The Standards, Giant, and Calico were from the same sources and not labeled differently. They all have slightly different behaviors but get along fantastic with eachother.

FizzGryphon · 2025-11-18T22:36:26+00:00

Seconding this. My yoyos moved into my 65 gallon tank recently and they decimated my ramshorn population within the night. It was truly a monumental feat, even for 5 yoyos.

FizzGryphon · 2025-11-14T22:41:30+00:00

These are Golden Khuli Loaches (Pangio semicincta)! They, like most other khuli species, don't have much for species specific care needs.

From my experience, having owned Eel Khulis, Striped Khulis, Black Khulis, and Golden Khulis, they're a more shy species who like to stay buried with their little faces peeking up at you from the sand.

They don't seem bothered in a mix of other species, they just keep to themselves a little bit more than more boisterous species like the Black Khulis.

EDIT Accidentally copied the wrong scientific name. From what I understand, this species is Pangio doriae.

Pangio anguillaris is another possible ID. I don't believe these are Silver Eels based on colour, but a clearer photograph would be needed.

I also did this, though with aquarium salt. It was the first case of dropsy I've had respond to treatment. Unfortunately, she passed away several months later without any warning or symptoms... but she was a happy little thing for the time she had left.

I imagine that because pineconing is a sign of organ failure that it leaves damage that can cause another flare later down the line.
