Baby Learning Object Permanence

I love how Mushi-shi (the anime) depicts chronic illness through the paranormal and abstract. Ginko is literally a medicine man, and his clientele are closer to suffering an affliction than experiencing a haunting. He doesn't "exorcise the demons through prayer;" he treats the condition the person is suffering from, which often involves removing the mushi, but sometimes they need to be lived with, and sometimes even a successful treatment can leave lasting damage from the time the mushi resided in the person's body. It's the best depiction of chronic illness I've seen portrayed through an abstract lense. I'm not even learning anything about myself or my life by watching it; I just understand and appreciate each case the show portrays. Part of what sets it apart is that Mushi-shi is very good at depicting the emotional toll of chronic illness without moralizing it. Sometimes chronically ill people die of depression from their conditions, sometimes after you're cured you miss or take joy in certain elements of the disease, having a friend play with you in quarantine is invaluable for your spirit but comes at the deadly risk of contagion. I'm only 4 episodes in but it's really resonating with me. Teenage chronically ill me definitely couldn't handle this show, but 25 year old me loves it.

I am once again making Bloodborne shitposts instead of thinking about my finals

The Creature: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

Do you ever think about Donnie and the Technodrome. Do you ever think about how in order to use it, he had to shed the very thing that had saved him from grievous injury or death time and again, to entrust his body at its most vulnerable to an invasive, completely alien construction. How the Krang’s machinery straddles the line between technological and organic, how Krang Three hardly needed to open his eyes to pilot the Technodrome and try to kill Donnie and Mikey, how deeply the connection between ship and pilot has to run for it to work at all. How the Technodrome reshaped itself to project Donnie’s face, while his body lay comatose in its inner chambers. How suddenly that connection was severed when Krang One discovered them. How Donnie might remember it. How he might still feel the cool, wet matter spreading up and around his soft shell, while his mind interlaces with technology that was not meant for his biology, remembering the sensation in his sleep. How he might miss it. How the whispers of the machine that might as well be alive come to him at night, lauding his abilities, his work with such primitive technology, haunting and yearning for a pilot back. Do you ever think about Donnie and the Technodrome.
