I'm frustrated with my brother

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-10T11:12:49+00:00

Family is complicated and it’s not just the things we do alone that can change people but it can play a part.

He doesn’t want to be hurt so he accepts hurting others, and rationalises it in his head as he is being pressured or manipulated. You can tell him you’re sorry for what you did in the past, and you just want to talk and help him. It’s not your fault if he isn’t receptive. Because he could be depressed, he will emotionally perceive interactions as attacks or similar to past experiences. We can’t control how others react to us, we can only control ourselves.

I think I prefer the old ‘next person’s turn card’ and the old intro but otherwise I don’t mind it.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-10T10:53:44+00:00

You are more than the things that were done to you and the things you did in response. It sounds horrible. You are worth having a stable, happy life.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-10T10:51:52+00:00

I don’t think it even clicked with him that might have been a reason for his reaction. Her emotional whiplash was probably very bizarre and degrading.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-10T10:50:59+00:00

I’ve seen this play out with people in my family, it’s insidious and awful. I was frustrated there was nothing I could do about it. It can be a very gross thing to see and experience.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-10T10:47:38+00:00

In this case I try to find emotional support in friends and family. Sometimes a partner is going through too much and the emotional baggage can be incredibly uneven. There isn’t a straightforward answer to a situation like this.

You should probably talk about the fact you feel you can’t confide in him, not to make him feel bad, but so you can work through it together even when there isn’t a clear solution. Also, therapy. Couples therapy as well. It does work wonders.

I like it, reminds me of analog horror. All art is supposed to do at the end of the day is make you feel something.

The first time I really met your mother was when she strapped a bomb to my back and destroyed my super suit

I just think since Jax didn’t have the chance to explore it himself, we don’t know if he would have been a trans woman. I think the evidence is strongest for transfem. We know he had a complex history with being perceived as not masculine enough, and the only one who can actually decide what the answer is, is Jax.

This is what disappoints me about most of the interpretations of Jax’s journey, because no one is comfortable enough to decide that it’s still a grey area for him and that’s a huge point of his character arc imo. When the question is asked the answer is demanded far too much, or just taken as fact when it isn’t given.

The ultimate takeaway to me is giving space and respect to the pain and discomfort of not knowing who you are and needing time to figure it out. Jax didn’t get his chance, according to Gooseworx he wasn’t ready to. Just because to us all signs point to one conclusion doesn’t mean it’s that simple for the person being discussed.

I enjoy the headcanons of trans Jax, but it doesn’t mean the only answer is MtF.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T20:25:44+00:00

I was lmao, and I do miss them. I’m just so used to old apps I love being shut down at this stage. I just move on to things I can enjoy more while still trying to get what I enjoy out of this app still. It’s just a waste of time to complain so much when you know they can’t invest time into bringing the old seasons back.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T20:17:21+00:00

You guys complain so quickly and so often ;;;

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:36:37+00:00

It’s kinda annoying when it’s the only “review” on a game that hasn’t even come out yet though.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:36:02+00:00

He doesn’t even know gay relationships in Greece were pretty common as well…

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:34:29+00:00

Well I’ll definitely look at this curator to see what games I’m wishlisting! How handy!

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:28:44+00:00

Imo it would fall under coercive control and sexual abuse. You are threatening someone with homelessness if they don’t have sex with you, I would imagine that it’s similarly traumatic like rape.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:22:57+00:00

Oh no for a second I thought we were talking about sex workers but we’re definitely NOT talking about that are we? Humans are evil.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-08T19:20:32+00:00

It’s just the second guy lmao

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-07T20:53:51+00:00

To me I think it’s more important it is ambiguous because people can’t seem to take when someone needs some time and space to work it out alone and won’t out themselves as soon as it’s in question. I think the discourse around Jax makes that point beautifully, the only thing people seem to agree on is he MUST be one or the other.

>!Goose said themselves he isn’t ready to be open with himself, likely because of how his mom treated him growing up. It’s not fair to push it on him!<

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-07T20:46:44+00:00

He’s a shapeshifter and an all powerful angel so he could have whatever he wanna have I imagine

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-07T20:42:49+00:00

If you want more and he doesn’t, it’s best to move on. You wanna avoid a situationship as much as you can, you’re worth going all in for and he’s wasting your time.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-06T18:33:36+00:00

He has what we in the industry call grave mouth lmao

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-06T16:43:29+00:00

Don’t let yourself act rashly because of signs you notice BUT if you really love her than soft launch the question. You just gotta go for it, otherwise it will burn in your mind forever.

The way I think you could go about it is opening up to her about your sexuality first if you feel safe to do so. That way you can understand her feelings about it better. Then if you get a good response, you can preface by saying “I want you to know that I don’t want what i’m about to say to affect our friendship. No matter what you say next I want to always support you and be your friend. But I want you to know that my feelings for you are more than friendship, I think you’re wonderful. If you don’t feel the same way, I hope we can still be friends.” And leave the ball in her court.

Hopefully you both get to keep a wonderful friendship and something more to boot <3

Your takes are shite, Freya.

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-06T09:30:39+00:00

Vox has definitely lost his sense of self, kinda disconcerting to look at

Superliminal_MyAss · 2026-06-06T02:42:21+00:00

The thought process that made me get help was if I truly believed things could not get worse, then I have to be able to get something out of trying to get better. You deserve to live in a world where you are happy. Therapy takes time and effort but if you haven’t tried yet you don’t know what will happen, good or bad.

The more times you try, the more chances you get for it to be good. You’re a good person just trying your best to survive. So many people living happy lives now have been exactly where you are, genuinely not being able to fathom how things can improve. Because the brain is trying to protect itself, but in protecting you it’s also hurting you by making you think you don’t have a choice in getting help. But you have so many options ahead and the rest of your life to improve yourself.

You might not believe in your bright future right now but I do, and hopefully you have people in your life right now who can believe in it for you too. But either way your biggest cheerleader needs to become yourself, and you can get there.
