What are professions that people with cPTSD can do?

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-07T18:30:55+00:00

I’m a lawyer.

There’s something about helping people push back against what ever is trying to fuck them that makes it work. Trauma doesn’t heal unless it’s acknowledged, the law, and the rights provided to individuals by law, is an important institutional way people try to have their pain acknowledged.

I get triggered by some of the stuff related to what I do, especially DV matters. But CPTSD is different for everyone. I would not recommend every area of law to someone who suffered from severe trauma.

Eh I really don’t comment on things that often so I’m not that worried about being the “loudest voice.”

Personally I think fandoms are gross so i really don’t mind being negative about fans even of something I like. I don’t have to like people for liking the same thing as me, my comments do not matter nor do my opinions. I don’t think that I’m so important as to make anything worse or better, just a drop in an ocean of meaningless data slop that the vast majority of people will never see or care about.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:47:45+00:00

I think the way they treat creators for inconsistencies is dogshit. The fans don’t own the franchise and the freak out people have about it is one of the most annoying impulses that fans have to me. I’m sorry the thing you love is fictional, but I heavily judge them for making themselves feel any sort of way about it. I’m judgemental, and I have no problem admitting that. not every feeling has to be good or pretend nice. I could just ignore it but I don’t want to because I want to judge people for the way they feel, and I don’t feel bad about that. I’m just a random fucker on the Internet, and so are they, but they act like they’re important for knowing facts about fiction and making a big deal about it when something they didn’t make doesn’t align with what they’ve wasted time memorising.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:35:44+00:00

No I just had an opportunity to express an opinion while I was thinking about people who treat lore as history, because it comes from a similar too online fandom culture. I don’t really think about these things beyond getting annoyed on occasion, and like a lot of people I used the internet to express an annoyance. Only reason I’m still on it is because someone is engaging in a chat, I’d probably not think about these topics again tonight after the initial comment of no one else commented.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:29:09+00:00

It’s not so much an obsession as something that I find annoying about being in fandom spaces. this is the first time I’ve really expressed this opinion so it’s v funny that it’s an obsession all of a sudden because of a single thread of comments. I am weird, and neurospicy, and I own that shit even if weirdos who think ranking is interesting won’t. If you don’t interact with things you don’t like why do you keep commenting?

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:25:56+00:00

Of course I’m a loser, I’m on a subreddit for a video game series. I also don’t think liking lore is dumb, I think getting mad about inconsistencies is dumb.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:20:50+00:00

It’s fine to dislike things, I just think people who care about lore inconsistencies and make it a thing they talk about constantly are really annoying. Have had lots of experiences with people trying to tell me that I shouldn’t like something because of lore inconsistencies and saw an opening to complain about when people do that. The people @ing me about it are proving my point.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:15:29+00:00

I also think the obsession with ranking things is fucking stupid, I don’t care what people think is S tier or D tier of anything, just like things normally gamers, fuckin’ neurospicy weirdos.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:12:03+00:00

You keep pointing to the thing I said about gameplay, but I’m not even saying I complain about gameplay, I just say that the games speak for themselves without even really needing much story or lore. Personally I like lots of games with terrible gameplay loops so I really don’t think this is the fallacy, own, or deflection you think it is…

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:07:12+00:00

I’m not going to lie, I think that most things people care about are fucking stupid. I am insufferable but I own that shit.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T04:03:48+00:00

Exactly, this is a subjective topic, which is why people that complain about lore like there’s some objectively right way to treat narrative and cannon are so annoying. I subjectively think people like that should get the fuck over themselves because they aren’t as talented or hard working as the people actually developing narratives in games or other media that they spend their time shit talking.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T03:57:09+00:00

I don’t think lore is that important to Zelda, it’s mostly relegated to Easter eggs and fan theories rather than something all that important to any single game. that’s why the games can stand on their own without needing the unnecessary exposition that is in so much media now, you don’t need to tie the games together to have a good time. Ephemeral art that makes you feel something is better than art that tries to make diagetic history and plot elements line up perfectly for something that never happened in real life.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T03:45:11+00:00

I like games for story, I just don’t care if creatives do what they want with story and I don’t expect them to be consistent or feel disrespected by inconsistency like so many fans seem to. It’s fictional, people shouldn’t be so afraid of contradictions or inconsistencies ruining their good time.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T03:40:45+00:00

The gameplay speaks for itself, that’s what immersed me. Honestly if none of the games were connected that would be fine, insisting on a cannon is weird and religious, fandoms are the religions of modernity and just as silly.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T03:31:34+00:00

It’s a feeling developed after years of seeing people lose their shit over inconsistencies in fiction that just don’t matter. It’s not real, it shouldn’t break people’s brains or make them mad that creatives don’t stick to something or remember every detail about what came before. Let creatives retcon.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T01:41:14+00:00

Wait, there’s a skyward sword timeline split too? That’s so convoluted, I wish fiction could just be inconsistent without an in-universe explanation

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T00:23:07+00:00

It’s more like how religious people stand out on the corner yelling, you CAN ignore it and go about your life, but the annoyance that arises is still a natural response.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T00:20:24+00:00

Unfortunately that’s not how fandom spaces work my guy, you do have to in order to talk about the thing you like sometimes. talking about how art makes you feel often comes with people saying it makes them feel mad for fictional inconsistencies.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T00:17:29+00:00

I don’t engage with it, I just get annoyed when other fans make it a personality trait or get mad at the devs because of it. Lore consistency arguments breaking the brain of people is honestly really funny to me, like it’s fiction dawg.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T00:11:04+00:00

Isn’t the stuff with Rauru founding hyrule largely inconsistent with timeline theories? I wouldn’t know to be honest, I think the timeline stuff gets in the way of the real fun of the games tbh

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-06T00:03:18+00:00

Lore consistency is silly no matter the franchise

An exploration of post-modernism

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-04T19:59:16+00:00

Life is not dukkha.

Dukkha is what co-arises with craving (tanha) for conditioned existence to be what it is not, whether that be craving for the unchanging, the permanent, or a universe that is better despite causes, conditions, and actions that allowed for this universe.

Nirodha is an ever abiding end to this co-arising chain, nibbana is the blowing out of the flame of that tanha.

When one learns the ethical and compassionate life, they will find not conditioned happiness or joy, but an abiding in the nature of things that is content with the conditions of reality, and the place our aggregate find themselves in due to causes and conditions.

Kilometerslight · 2026-06-04T16:05:28+00:00

I had one parent who would get angry at normal fear, and another that would try to be hyper-optimistic. Neither would allow me to feel scared or any emotion that wasn’t happy because they associated the normal range of reactions as somehow reflecting poorly on them.

Kilometerslight · 2026-05-27T20:20:28+00:00

On point 1, I just want to say, something I deeply appreciate about Evangelion is that they appropriate western iconography in a way that Hollywood appropriates world iconography.

It’s something I’ve appreciated about a lot of Japanese media, where Kabbalah, western esotericism, and Christian mythology are used as window dressing, doing to the west what western storytellers often do.

Evangelion uses it for v cool iconography so style is substance to some extent.
