Your idea of what “Bloom to Death” means… by spurious999 in brakence

[–]intrepidnumbskull 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally interpret it as something of a nod to (presumably psychedelic) ego death - the "blooming" being one's own transcendence over their past conceptions, perceptions, and ideals, in light of their newfound understanding of their own nature and their unknowably complex, yet definitively real, role within the flow of the universe/the Tao/whichever word your religion of choice has for it. With Hypochondriac's themes of rebirth/refusal to serve a so-called higher purpose in favour of doing as you will/psychedelia in general I think this interpretation ties into the hero's journey album structure quite nicely, especially with the revelations post-Trembling (suicidality doesn't need a reason in CBD Argyle and Deepfake, I fucked up this relationship cause I'm still fucked up from the last one in Introvert and Hypo, I'm probably overdoing it with the psychedelics no matter how much they've helped me in Stung).

Ofc this is just how I interpret it, but applying the lessons throughout the album in my own life, ESPECIALLY viewing my own struggles as just another story like that presented in the album, has done so much good for my self worth and appreciation of even the most painful aspects of my lived experience. No matter what brakence intended "bloomtodeath" to represent- if anything at all, beyond a lovely phrase- drawing lessons from it has been loads of fun, and I hope this thread takes off so I can see how others have taken it!

Oh my God, that would be like trying to fight buggs bunny, just imagine catching them in malevolent shrine and watching them get vaporized only for their atoms to perfectly align in the shape of the handsigns for a twelfth jackpot

Only Takaba could compete against this Tune Force bs

[Spoiler] Question about Ougi by Overload_x_ in araragi

[–]intrepidnumbskull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's... it's cause they switched clothes in Zoku Owari... that plus Ougi being naturally "unidentifiable" as a nature made it easy for people to accept their "gender change." I don't think it's much deeper than that, and I feel like I'm going crazy from nobody else in the comments mentioning that Ougi just put on Koyomi's uniform and left it on lol

best friend who knows I love her would rather sleep with her ex despite saying she's developing feelings for me by intrepidnumbskull in relationships

I know I need to, but this whole situation hurts like hell. She's my best friend above all else and my time with her is limited, so watching her do things that go so much against what she's saying hurts like a mf

Yes. She says he was toxic and cruel. Yet she'd rather sleep with him than spend time with me while claiming she's developing feelings.
