Being Abusive And Being Mentally Ill Are Not Mutually Exclusive

Special thanks to @squimp who helped me SO much with designing Garak’s outfit!!!

when will people stop saying that c!dream is manipulating c!ranboo,,

C!dream antis often end up weirdly pro c!dream??? If he truly is a ‘monster incapable of empathy’ I find him less responsible. Whereas if he cared about people, understood their feelings, and hurt them regardless? That makes his actions so much worse.

Top tip- avoid anyone who calls c!dream a psychopath.

People creating entire cultures for mc hybrid species is the best?? They might be my fav fic types, they make the story that much more immersive!

(My two favs are this and this, be sure to read the tags!)

A study on over 200,000 prison inmates showed that whilst making up just 7% of the prison population, those in solitary confinement made up 53% of all recorded acts of self harm.

There is a possibility that these statistics show correlation, and not causation. That those placed in solitary confinement were already those more likely to reoffend, and with pre-existing mental health problems. However this argument is refuted when looking at other observable effects on the brain. 

A 2018 study showed that after just one month of isolation, in the sensory and motor parts of  mice's’ brains, their neurons shrunk by 20 percent after one month of isolation, and by 25 percent after three months. Further research is needed to determine if this loss is permanent, as well as looking for other areas of change. 

A thing with posting is that I’m generally pretty confident in my ideas and the concepts I have! The thing that always stumps me is my execution...

I have a lot of drafts and ideas that I haven’t posted? I guess I’m here looking for validation that a poorly constructed paragraph and some run on sentences won’t matter!

some dictionary definitions to review:

Abuse

Torture

Manipulation

Felonies

Morals

Sympathiser

Apologist

Justify

Excuse

Explain

dsmp lore fans learn what words mean challenge

People need to learn what ‘human rights’ actually are. The whole point is they are inalienable. No matter what atrocities someone commits, they should never be taken away.

Human rights are not a privilege.

thinking about c!dreams clock once again

Constantly throwing it away makes so much sense, beyond just as a way to see c!sam.

The constant ticking only serves to let him feel every second of his time imprisoned. To know exactly how many days he’s been locked away, that’s a torture all on it’s own. But so would ignorance. To be unsure of how much time has passed between each delivery of food rations. Are they coming further apart now? C!sam comes to give him a new clock and says its been only a day, but he’d been so sure a week had passed.

an effect of solitary confinement is paranoia. C!dream begins to suspect his clock has been tampered with. It speeds up, slows down. Surely it hasn’t been that long yet? And yet, surely its been longer?

he cares too much about this inanimate object. Anytime he realises that he couldn’t bare to have it taken from him, he destroys it himself.
