early seasons Castiel, warrior of god, unfeeling, unemotional, cold as a block of marble etc. etc., Mr Angel you are fooling exactly no-one, we all saw in s04e03 In the Beginning that you gently clasped Dean’s shoulder to bring him back to the future, you literally had no reason for a supportive gesture like that…. a bare fingertip on his arm would have been enough, but no

Early Seasons Castiel, Warrior Of God, Unfeeling, Unemotional, Cold As A Block Of Marble Etc. Etc., Mr

totally not sympathizing with the distressed human

It's the fact that frank castle doesn't love himself and he thinks he deserves to be alone for the bad things/actions he did in the past and continues to do but he didn't realize yet that he needs and fucking deserves to be with someone who loves him and appreciate him for what he is. What really strikes me is the concept of found-family that works so well for this character: he found, across his path, a new family (after loosing his real one) and yet he doesn't want to have anyone around him bc he thinks he doesn't deserve it bc in the end is a serial killer, a monster that should be banished and punished for what he's done. He's too evil to deserve amazing people in his life who genuinely cares for him. Even if he decides he's worthy enough to get close to anyone, he doesn't want to get emotionally invested in this. If he let his guard down for a moment, bad things might happen to his new family and he'll be devasted and probably would never recover from that. That's why frank pushes everyone who shows the slightest interest in him (es. karen) away bc he's scared of the person he has become and doesn't want to corrupt the only good thing that has ever happend to him, that is to say karen.

In this essay i will explain why kastle is a metaphor of "the beauty and the beast"...

hey

I wanted to ask that nothing really exists? Like everyone I see I know like you don’t exists? Like im the only on who exists? N im just making all this up? But like how you can realize/remeber yourself when you don’t exist n only i do ?

I hope you understand wht im trying to say 😭

When People say “nothing exists as it seems,” it doesn’t mean that everyone else is somehow unreal while you’re the only real thing. It’s more that everything you seem to experience—you, others, objects, thoughts, feelings—are all appearing within Awareness, within a single, undivided reality. Nothing is “more/less real” than "anything" else; it’s all equally (=) appearing and dissolving within Awareness.

Imagine the effect of a "dream". While in the dream, everyone and everything seems real, including the “you” that seems to move around in that dream. When you wake up, you realize that everything in that dream—whether it was people, places, or events—arose from the same source, not separate from the dream itself. But this doesn’t mean one thing in the dream was real and others weren’t; it was all equally dreamt.

In the same way, the “you” and “others” appearing here are all expressions within Awareness itself. There’s no separate, isolated “you” who is imagining everything else; rather, everything—including the sense of “me” and “you”—is arising within the same field of Awareness.

So, it’s not that “you” exist while everyone else doesn’t, or that only “you” are real. It’s that everything you experience, yourself included, isn’t as separate or distinct as it seems; it’s all simply the appearance of "Awareness". This doesn’t diminish anything or anyone; instead, it reveals that "everything" and "everyone" is not actually "everything" and "everyone". It's all equally "THAT".

An Elaboration/clarification In Response To This Explanation Of How Bucky's Prosthetic Functions, Based

An elaboration/clarification in response to this explanation of how Bucky's prosthetic functions, based on breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology that have been getting mainstream attention in recent years. Namely: Neuromusculoskeletal prosthetic technology, also known colloquially as 'bionic arms'.

While Bucky's prosthetic more advanced because it uses comic book science, this information is helpful all the same; especially for people writing his character (and if you are, I encourage you to research this technology and get a grasp of the fundamentals).

To start, the socket is osseointegrated. This in itself is not new a new surgical technique and is a long-established method of amputation. What osseointegration means is the socket that prosthetic attaches (or 'anchors') to is integrated into/fused with Bucky's bones.

Now, how do these prosthetics move and feel? Here is a brief, but informative explanation targeted at laypeople:
