One thing that makes the mind control in the Divine Tree arc sooooo creepy to me is how much the brainwashed characters still act like themselves. A lot of the time in fiction when characters are mind-controlled they become zombie-like or robotic, with their original personalities suppressed. Or sometimes they become actively sinister, an "evil version" of themselves.
Obviously Divine Tree doesn't do that. Dimple's telling the truth when he says he hasn't changed anyone's personality, he's just given them something new to care about. "A blessing for those who have nothing and long for a place to belong." And that's horrifying. Both because it feels like in some ways a deeper violation than simply making someone pretend to be a person they're not, and because it means that the effect it creates is basically the same as people who have been taken in by cult rhetoric in the real world. The Divine Tree doesn't use magic to create effects that can only be achieved by magic; it uses it to speedrun the radicalization process.
The Divine Tree Arc isn't the horror of having someone you know replaced by an alien consciousness. It's the horror of knowing that the person standing against you is really your friend, your classmate, your brother, your mentor--they just care about something new now. And it's the horror of knowing that when push comes to shove, they're always going to care about that new thing more than they care about you.
aroace reigen stans rise up!!
[ID: A digital comic of Reigen Arataka from Mob Psycho 100.
The first panel is Reigen leaning back in his desk chair with a self-satisfied smile. He says "Eh, you want advice on how to ask a girl out, Mob? Of course, I know aaall about that."
Behind him we see the inner Reigen who is clasping a hand over his mouth, looking anxious and sweating profusely. He is clutching the ace and aro flags in his left hand and thinking "Shit what do I tell him, I have no clue..."
Next panel is Reigen turning around looking desperate and thinking "well surely Serizawa-"
His thought is then interrupted by the next panel which shows Serizawa smiling brightly and saying "I've never liked a girl in my life!" surrounded by sparkles. Behind him Reigen can only watch in faint horror, thinking "WE'RE FUCKED." end ID.]
I was gone for a while, but I haven’t forgotten about this little man. Happy late birthday, Reigen. You deserve all the love in the world
As promised in the comments of the binder master list, I'm now compiling a more all-encompassing free resource public spreadsheet! So far I've got resources for binders, packers, STP devices, gaffs/tucking underwear, gender-affirming clothing, some DIY gender-affirming gear, and some resources on how to clean that gear and how to clean up makeup spills. I'll try to keep expanding things, and feel free to request a type of resource or a specific location in the comments or in an ask! (I can't promise I'll be able to find anything, but I'll do my best! <3)
The spreadsheet is called "Study sheet" to make it more inconspicuous in case someone you'd rather didn't catches a glimpse of the title. Do please note that once you're on the spreadsheet it is very obvious what the content is, so only view it when it's safe for you to do so! <3
(Also here's a post I made of spreadsheets with the same resources but under different names)
Some links to videos on how to conceal and delete your history for those who need it (blue text indicates a link)
How to Clear your Youtube watch history (kinda loud at the start and actual info starts at about 1:33
How to Remove Shared Files from Google Drive
how to activate incognito mode on an Iphone , on an Android phone and on chrome on a computer.
And How to delete your Google activity history
Remember to delete your Youtube history after watching!
*Edit* I've added a new section for miscellaneous resource requests to serve as a semi-temporary place for more niche topics that I get resource requests for. If I get more requests for them or find more resources related to the topic I'll make a new separate section for them, but otherwise they can just stay there.
Remember: y'all can comment, tag, or if you want/need it to be more discreet you can send me an anonymous ask. I may not be able to find what you want, but I won't judge you <3
Ooh what if Serirei just talking with their past selves, it could be chaotic with past Reigen being extremely energetic, but just imagine kid Seri too being so anxious and his future self helping him out. Now past Seri has a friend weee
