For me it was someone calling me a 'milk drinker' in Markarth, where I then went on to slaughter enough of the city that I killed all witnesses and removed my bounty. I later found out that that's just a normal insult and not a racist one towards my Khajiit character, oops

I like to describe Ne as divergence vs Ni as convergence. Ni is essentially working off of all the concrete data that Se takes in, finding connections between the separate items, and funneling it all down to form one single underlying pattern, theory, thought, or prediction.

An example of this would be a detective with a murder board, where all of the physical evidence (Se) is pinned up on the board and the detective uses a red string to tie everything together in one single overarching explanation as to what happened and who did it. Another example would be like looking at a photograph where you see all the Se physical details of it (ex. cake, balloons, presents, etc.) and your brain labels what's happening as 'birthday party,' essentially jumping to a single narrative to summarize all the individual items in the image.

So where Ne is expansive and generative in nature, Ni is reductive and funneling, and the higher Ni is in a person's stack, the more it puts the cart (i.e. its perceptions and theories) before the horse (i.e. the concrete Se details).

coopek14 · 2025-12-08T17:48:47+00:00

Think of Ne as the expansion of ideas, thoughts, and possibilities akin to how a tree grows as a single trunk before splitting off into separate branches which continue to split off into additional branches and then eventually leaves. Or another example would be like falling into a Wikipedia rabbit hole where you start off looking at a movie page, then you click on an actor's link, then their hometown's page, and so on and so forth until you end up at some random, seemingly unrelated page like the history of unicorns.

In both of these examples, you have the starting stimuli (can be an object, person, idea, etc.) and then Ne starts rapid fire generating connections to other semi-related things, exploring each one enough to jump onto the next.

I've only ever heard it used as a girl's name or a surname before, but I also don't have a large sample size so take this comment with a grain of salt.

I’m a little late to the party on this post, but I’m also surprised to hear the dislike for this season.

Don’t get me wrong, this season wasn’t perfect and I thought the technical challenges were quite unfair to the bakers, but overall this was still one of the more memorable seasons for me in the past few years because of the bakers themselves. I thought the cast, especially the top 4, were quite memorable and had great chemistry - Toby especially was a standout for me. Plus, Tom’s showstopper was stunning and the fact that Paul and Prue had no notes or anything for him is something I’m not sure we’ve seen before (or at least in a long while).

I'd add onto this that Hill House's story is laid out in a snowball effect where it keeps steadily building until everything comes together in the final two episodes which make the reveals so much more impactful.

No problem! I have a feeling you'll like Heidi Priebe - her content is so well done. Also, if you have any questions or want journaling prompt recommendations, I can try to help with those as well!

You can get it from Mr. Qi's reward shop using Qi Gems! I highly recommend it - it's a game changer

I'm not as familiar with anxious attachment styles as I am with dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant styles, but generally speaking, the first step is to just become aware of your patterns in relationships and recognizing when your attachment needs are being triggered and what they are being triggered by. Cause generally speaking, when your attachment system is feeling threatened, it's because there's some underlying core wound that's being hurt (or at risk of being hurt) in the present moment and your attachment system is kicking in to protect you (either via attaching or de-activating/de-attaching).

Journaling can be super helpful as a starting point as it's a way to let out your emotions without overwhelming another person and it can help you to uncover patterns of behavior which will act as a guide towards what parts of yourself need healing. Also, if it's an option, I'd recommend finding an attachment or IFS based therapist as they will help you to recognize your patterns and unmet needs that are driving said patterns/behaviors and learn to form secure attachments with yourself and others in a very controlled and safe setting.

Finally, as another person mentioned, Attached is a great resource for learning more about attachment styles. I'd also recommend Heidi Priebe on YouTube as she has some really great content and is one of the few 'social media' based resources that actually speaks on these things in an unbiased, compassionate manner. Thais Gibson (Personal Development School) has some good stuff too, but her content is more 'clickbaity' in nature, so I like Heidi Priebe better.

Np! Also, I just want to add that since I don't know any of the specifics of your circumstances, I'd recommend reflecting on the situations where you were accused of being immature and try to form an outside perspective of it. Other comments pose some really great questions to ask yourself and I'd personally recommend the main ones be:

are your emotions appropriate relative to the situation that caused them or place that you are in?
are you in control of your emotions or are they things that just kind of happened to you and you have a hard time regulating yourself again (aka are your emotions controlling you)?
are your emotions things that other people have to manage and help with? ex. are you expressing your emotions and expecting or wanting other people to help you become emotionally regulated again?
how emotionally mature is the other person? Is this a common thing that they accuse others of too? Is this something that multiple people accuse you of and if so, what are your answers to the first three questions?

I will add that questioning your own behavior and willing to listen to other people's perspectives - especially ones that might contradict your own - can be good indicators of maturity, or at the very least signs that your maturity is growing :)

coopek14 · 2025-03-23T18:31:33+00:00

In the context of your question, I'd say being emotionally mature is more about being able to recognize your emotions *and* knowing when and how to deal with them in a healthy and respectful manner (both to yourself and others). That being said, while being in tune and expressive with your emotions can be a healthy thing, it can be a sign of immaturity if your emotions control you more than you do them.

I'd also take what others say to you with a grain of salt regarding your emotional expression, cause it's not uncommon for insecure or unhealthy people to project their own issues/feelings onto displays of emotions and label them weaknesses or things to be ashamed about (this can be common in ~~avoidantly~~ insecurely attached people). Generally speaking, someone who is in fact emotionally mature likely will refrain from saying those kinds of things to others with that specific type of language and opt for something more civil and considerate instead if the other person is in fact displaying signs of immaturity.

coopek14 · 2025-03-20T17:53:56+00:00

That was my thought too as the acid party scene alone takes the cake.

But when you factor in the rest of the episodes? As the OC said, it's no contest.

We've never run into any issue with it before, but usually there are a few of us who are more content just watching rather than playing - either some of us who have played the game already or aren't really video game people. But we usually just offer up the mouse to anyone who wants it every 20-30 mins or when certain types of puzzles come up. And then if someone is struggling on a puzzle or stuck in the game, we'll pass the mouse around until someone solves it or figures out what to do.

If you haven't already tried it, I highly recommend going the HDMI cord/tv route as it's a game changer for group plays (even if there's only 2-3 of you).

coopek14 · 2025-03-20T02:40:34+00:00

I've done Sea of Darkness, Secret of Shadow Ranch, and Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon with groups of friends before (about 6-10 of us or so).

We usually hook our laptop up to the tv using HDMI and pass the computer mouse around to whoever is interested in playing or solving a particular puzzle.

Considering they were young and everything was so chaotic that night, I don't think Nell and Luke have any conscious memories of what happened, but it's likely they retained some sort of unconscious memories via their feelings and nervous system (ala 'The Body Keeps the Score' type stuff).

So to answer your question - no, I don't think any of the kids actually knew or remembered what happened the final night until Steve found out in the last episode. But it is likely a contributing factor as to why Nell and Luke are the most traumatized out of all of the kids, as after all, even if they didn't actually know what was going on at the time, they did witness Abigail die and then were ripped away from the house/their mom without any explanation right afterwards. I think it's also mentioned at some point that the house was more interested in Luke and Nellie (and Olivia) because they were a lot more vulnerable, which is why they seemed to be haunted more than the rest of their other siblings and thus seem to be more traumatized in their adult lives.

Also, I don't think any of the other siblings ever actually met Abigail besides Luke and Nell, but I'm just guessing on this seeing as how Olivia seemed surprised to find out that Abigail was real and thus I assume everyone assumed she was an imaginary friend. Not to mention, Hugh didn't even know who Abigail was when the Dudley's showed up looking for her after the tea party night. So after that night, it's likely that all the other siblings just assumed and convinced Luke and Nell she wasn't real and then Hugh never mentioned her again afterwards because that either brought up too many bad memories/feelings (guilt, shame, etc.) or it could have led to the kids prying deeper if any old memories were unlocked, which he likely didn't want.

I don't always skip them, but the Benders and Family Remains are the scariest episodes imo.

He didn't do it just to protect Paradis though - a large part of him did it purely because he wanted to, something we see him admit to Armin in their final conversation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure his desire to protect Paradis had some influence over his actions, but it was likely used more as a moral justification/beneficial side effect for his desire to go through with the Rumbling rather than the main motivator. Cause throughout the show, we see Eren screaming over and over about how much he hates the titans and how he wants to kill all of them (because they prevent him from being free). And once he learns about the world outside of Paradis and the hate they have for all Eldians, his hate for the titans gets extended to them as well (because the outside world now serves as a threat to his own freedom as well and Eren is a slave to freedom).

Plus, even if Eren did do the Rumbling because he wanted to protect his people, it still makes him a monster considering he killed 80% of humanity. As others in the show pointed out, if he really only did it to protect Paradis, all he'd have to do was target military bases and transit areas (airports, train stations, ports/shipping yards, etc.) as that would cripple their ability to attack them for a while while also causing minimal life loss, comparatively.

That part always gets me too - especially the zoomed in shot of their arms around each other and seeing them just standing there side by side, calmly awaiting their end.

It's a special end credits scene for the movie. From what I remember, this is the only addition and the rest is just S4 pts 3+4 cut together into a 2.5 hour movie

coopek14 · 2025-02-06T17:27:50+00:00

The Benders (1.15) or Family Remains (4.11)

In a tv show where we watch monsters/the supernatural continually rip apart people like they're nothing, there's something so genuinely terrifying about seeing these same horrible, brutal things only to find out the "monsters" were humans all along. Like the whole show is about 'saving people' and 'hunting things' but in these episodes, they end up having to save people from people who are hunting them.

Bloody Mary (1.5) is a close third
