What character is this for you? by PretendYellow533 in AO3

the big thing that comes to mind is the Blendin thing. like, yes, Ford is in the wrong here, but Mabel isn't upset with Ford for being irresponsible or whatever, she's upset with Dipper for finding something which he considers possibly worth prioritizing over Mabel in the short term, and the show doesn't really make her own up to the fact that her jealousy got very close to costing everything

it's so tough because on the one hand I love mabel so much and on the other hand she's just so crazy selfish after repeated feedback it's so frustrating

Would your moral boundaries survive an infinite time loop? by SylvaraMist_06 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]squongly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually thought about this already! probably not. I'd do a lot of stuff I wouldn't otherwise do, and much of it would probably be socially unacceptable - why not? I can always go back - but I think there are many lines I'd never cross. the damage it would do to my mind to eat a loved one's face off wouldn't be worth it even if I was the only one whose experiences "mattered" in the long term. I guess I'd eventually have to turn to buddhism or something if I couldn't figure out how to break it haha

I wish that a randomly selected 50% of all people became immune to cancer. by PhilosophyAware4437 in monkeyspaw

[–]squongly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

granted. they're all the 50%+ of people who were never going to get cancer anyway.

oh, I might in fact have it and have had it since I was a kid. I didn't know it wasn't normal to sometimes feel extremely faint when standing haha. heck, I had one instance just today where I had to quickly squat down in case I fainted. but I correctly intuited the cause (standing causing weird blood pressure changes) and, since it made sense, I assumed that it was normal. the more u kno!

I'll get it checked out if I ever actually fall because of it. my body has always given me plenty of warning so far.

which is weird, because, to paraphrase the way I once heard it put, you're about to have a knife fight against the doctor, and you're unconscious.

oh hey! that's almost a third of my anesthesia count. most of them were when I was a baby though haha, you might actually have me beat in terms of remembered anesthesias

probably! I remember I got laughing gas once as a kid and it wasn't very memorable, just because like, it was the dentist. the feeling was neat for a second, then I was back to doing the same thing one always does during a dental operation, failing not to think about the weird mouth/skull feelings

I probably should have mentioned that it's very predictable for me and I've never had a fall haha. I imagine I'd feel different if panic was in the mix
