hello! firstly, I’d like to thank you for making this blog. it’s been really helpful in understanding mbti theory and taking steps to improve myself. i do have 2 questions though:
I’m glad you find my blog helpful, thanks for saying so.
1) is it possible that a person still undergoes tertiary loop in their mid-40s? i have seen evidence of si-ti loop in my mother, but can’t really reconcile that with the fact that she should’ve probably dealt with this earlier. and i don’t think she’s always been in the loop (as far as i remember, anyways), but has only gotten into it within the last 2 years.
It is more common than uncommon for people to get developmentally stuck. Type development is a very personal or individual process, so, in that sense, there is no “should’ve”. This is explained in the Type Dev Guide, please review it. Every individual is at a different point in development based on their unique circumstances. Anyone can misuse their functions at any time of life for a variety of reasons. If she only started within the last two years, it would be important to understand what circumstances or stressors might have prompted it.
2) i have noticed in myself (an infp) that i tend to re-read books/ re-watch movies that i liked in the past multiple times, usually when I’m feeling a bit out of sorts or stressed. a celebrity that i have been trying to type said the same thing about themself— that they like re-watching a specific movie when they’re tired/stressed. i thought that this was an obvious indication of si-tertiary, and that they were also an infp (using other clues about their type, too, of course). however, most other people say that that person is an enfp. (nobody else has typed them as infp). i just wanted to know if my understanding of that specific behaviour being an indication of si-tert was correct or not.
I should probably explain why i think that is si-tert. tertiary functions are usually used as a psychological defense to stress. fi-si tends to make a person look to previous sources of comfort in hopes of gaining the same comfort again, usually leading to the person staying in stale comfort zones. what i think is, basically, that a person can also seek comfort in fictional stories (books and movies) that they liked in the past. again, I’m not 100% sure about this, it’s just what I’ve noticed in myself. thank you in advance :)
It is incorrect. The problem is that you haven’t understood the difference between cognition and behavior (as well as the fact that the two do not have a perfect 1:1 relationship). Taking your example: Si prompts people to revisit things of their past. This is generally true of Si, so this fact alone is not enough information to tell you the stack position of Si. To identify stack position, you cannot only focus on the behavior (the “what”), you must go far deeper than that to understand the underlying cognitive reasons (the “whys”). The set of reasons for why tertiary Si revisits the past is different from inferior Si (… is different from dominant Si … is different from auxiliary Si). The functional stack positions are covered in the Function Theory Guide.
Until you’ve understood the exact underlying cognitive reasons behind the behavior, the most you can claim is that Si is probablyin there… somewhere. I say “probably” because this one detail alone isn’t even enough to prove Si, since other functions like Ni may also prompt someone to revisit the past, but for very different reasons. You would also need to accumulate more evidence of Si cognition that specifically rules out Ni cognition.
In short: Don’t judge a book by its cover. You have to understand exactly why someone is doing what they’re doing, rather than just assuming that they’re doing it for the same reason as you.
Advance announcement for a scientific paper:
Pneumaticity in sauropods provides evidence for non-avian flight in dinosaurs
Abstract-
While it is widely known that sauropods (and most groups of dinosaurs) had heavily pneumaticized bone structures which are generally accepted as evidence for air sacs and bird-style respiration, it is not widely known that this system of internal air sacs when paired with certain gases would have allowed the earth’s largest land animals to have also been the largest animals to achieve flight. A forthcoming paper will document how sauropods achieved lift to become Mesozoic airships. This theory also sheds light on the creatures’ long necks and tails, which would be necessary for feeding on treetops beneath the floating giants and anchoring themselves via the long tail to tree trunks during rest periods. The theory though seemingly radical, is no more ludicrous than others that have cropped up (repeatedly) in the literature and can be at least equally well supported. And given time, will certainly be welcomed by paleontology as the only rational explanation for the evolution of these great Zeppelins of history.
…I will be accepting questions, offers for book deals and speaking tours.

Okay, so I know people do theories all the time, and everybody is probably sick of hearing/reading them, but I thought I’d share mine.
Alright, so basically, Mx are, well, a clan. All 7 members took an oath (hence their teasers) and vowed to be loyal and faithful to the team and be “all in”/invested in the team.
To begin, the flower. The flower is a big part of the plot. I believe the flower is supposed to be Delphinium or Larkspur (thanks imbangnzelo for making the flower really make sense/go read her post to find out more). Basically, the plants contain toxins which can cause severe sickness and/or death, as well, the plants have cardiotoxic and neuromuscular blocking effects, which to put simply means they are a very high pain killer. And an added part is that these flowers have specific symbolism in what they mean. A few meanings are “striving for your goals”, “new opportunities”, “protection against danger”, “to be open to new emotions”, “enjoying life, no matter the circumstance”, and “celebrating positivity”. All of these, which the music video depicts very well.
My first assumption is that each member has their own take on the flower (that one of the meanings I’ve just stated, is applied to each member). Each meaning is quite positive, so I think that once they use the poison it shows that their meaning/views are gone.
- Striving for goals : Kihyun (why: his goals are to walk again)
- New opportunities : Jooheon (why: robbing? And giving Shownu the money, he took the opportuninty)
- Protection against danger : IM or Wonho
- To be open to new emotions : Minhyuk and Hyungwon (why: their “love” for one another)
- Enjoying life, no matter the circumstance : Shownu (why: his ill and betraying grandfather, he tries to still enjoy what he has even in a hard time)
- Celebrating positivity : IM or Wonho
(sorry, IM and Wonho don’t really have much of a plot on their own…)
Okay, onto the plot.
// forget the first scene for now //
In the video we see the group of them go up to the police, this is where Hyungwon gives one of the poison flowers to a cop. I believe this is a sign of mercy, Hyungwon knows what they are about to do, but hands this to the cop as if saying “here this will rid your pain”. We then see a older man (the same man I believe is in the bed/in Shownu’s scene/Shownu’s grandfather) go up to the group of them with a question and almost angry expression. I think that this man (Shownu’s grandfather) put the group together, and although they don’t know it, it’s to have them do his dirty work for him. Pretty much, the man is their boss. Anyways, his grandfather looks as if he’s questioned something, which I think is “which one of you did it?” referring to the toxic flower being given to a police officer. I think this because, Hyungwon then stands up as if he answer that it was him and to defend his actions. The man then begins hitting/beating Hyungwon, why? Because Hyungwon could have blown their “cover” by giving the flower.
Help: the scene at Jooheon’s rap is where they are boiling down the flowers and making them into a drink/poison, one that they can take to rid themselves of any pain they may feel at that very moment.
We then see Minhyuk in the room with Hyungwon where he removes his mask revealing a beaten and bruised face. I believe those injuries were also from “Shownu’s grandfather”. Minhyuk leaves the room with the mask in a quite angry manner, (yes it show Shownu before this but some of the scenes to keep people hooked are out of order) this is where I think Minhyuk goes to yell/scold Shownu for his grandfather’s doings (because he can’t talk to the man, since the man is sick). I think this because we see Shownu sitting with his grandfather, holding the same mask Hyungwon was wearing. I believe Shownu feels a tremendous amount of betrayal. (yes others have those same masks, this mask could also be Shownu’s which they all wear them when doing what his grandfather demands, but either way~).
The next scene is when we see Jooheon giving a bag to Shownu, the bag containing money. Shownu then heads to the jail cell where his weak/unhealthy grandfather is, with the money in hand. I believe this money is bail money for his grandfather. Shownu then stands at the glass and demands answers from his grandfather for what is going on. (I think his grandfather is still in the room, because two guards still remain when Shownu arrives). I think Shownu’s grandfather admits to what was truly happening and how he was using the members to his advantage/do his dirty work. Shownu, after hearing this decides not to bail his grandfather out, and let him be executed, (Shownu vowed to stay on his friend’s side/be loyal to the clan). I think his grandfather is executed because we see two officers dragging a man out, a struggling man, but struggling not to get away but just in general having troubles, therefore an unhealthy man, his grandfather. It is because of this, that Shownu is first to take his life. He places the flower down on his grandfather’s clothes as symbolism, almost an apology. He then burns the bail money and drinks the poison himself, taking his own life, instead of facing his members.
Then we have Minhyuk and Hyungwon. Hyungwon lay already dead in a bathtub, that he had already drank his portion of the poison to rid the pain he felt. (obviously there is something going on between the two). Minhyuk pours his portion into the tub before climbing in and laying beside Hyungwon. Minhyuk drowns himself which is why we see his hand still grab/tighten on Hyungwon’s hand (it was not a quick death).
I haven’t really put much thought into the others, considering the main points are with Shownu, Minhyuk and Hyungwon. But simply for the others is that they are rioting like the old man had insisted. Kihyun who is shown injured proves the flower method, by dropping his crutches and beginning to walk perfectly and even run with no pain.
At the end we see them all dressed in white, which I think is representing the fact they are all dead, and have killed themselves using the flowers. They are seen looking into the sky and at large “weird” object. I think the object is a heart, with the way it’s moving and it’s simplified appearance. The reason for this is that the flower’s toxins affect your heart.
I believe the video depicts them as dead to show that covering the pain (with poison/killing yourselves) is not a way to get rid of it, because they are still seen doing similar acts to what they were before. They also are shown to still be struggling and feeling pain which is a big clue to that.
The first scene is also when they are dead, that is before the music video goes back in time to show how they ended up there. I think it shows Hyungwon in pain to prove that no matter what pain with still exist. It shows him eating the flower to show that things haven’t changed for them.
Yes there are things to do with youth, and what not, but I won’t go into too much detail on that. I believe that each member only feel pain, the pain that causes them to use their poison once their youth/innocence is taken from them. Example one, is with Hyungwon and the flower. He innocently gives it to the officer but it was his innocent (youth) actions that made him a target, therefore, the hit striped him of his youth, it wasn’t until then that he felt pain. We also have Shownu who is innocently sitting by his grandfather’s bedside, when he realizes the betrayal, that’s when the pain starts (where his youth is beginning to be taken), but it truly comes and is taken when he finds out the truth, which he promptly “gives up”.
(Shownu also has something in a cloth when he runs up to the glass and is looking through it, but I can’t exactly figure out what… part of me wants to say it’s a gun and that he is threatening his grandfather to tell him, I don’t think he shoots him, one, because of the glass. two, I think it’s a threat… but I’m not 100% sure on that…)
… sorry if I wrote a lot about Shownu’s plot… he’s my bias and I think I “naturally” end up paying more attention to his parts… O.o lol oops.
Obviously this is just my guess and take on the music video, but I thought I’d share~
ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: Brice Marden’s Theory of Painting
“Painter Brice Marden (American, b.1938) is often associated with Minimalism and is best known for his subtle explorations of color, texture, and form in his work. Marden was born in Bronxville, NY, and attended Boston University’s School of Fine and Applied Arts before receiving an MFA at the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1963. While still a student, Marden developed his formal style of abstract painting, and gave up his early preoccupation with figural techniques. Though his early works reference an objective creator and the purity of minimalism, Marden has described these works as highly emotional and subjective. His paintings are either monochrome or composed of different color fields that are painted in a rich but atmospheric manner. Marden moved to New York in 1963, and then traveled to Greece and Asia in the beginning of the 1970s; his impressions of the southern European landscape, as well as of antique mythology and Greek architecture, have left a great impact on his work. In the 1970s, Marden’s colors and shapes became lighter and more fluid than those of his earlier works, and the size of his paintings more monumental. Marden also profoundly changed his formal technique after an additional stay in Asia; in the works Marden created after this trip, his curved lines overlap such as Beyond Eagles Mere, creating visual parallels with East Asian writing and with the gestural brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism. Marden has exhibited his work internationally, including exhibitions at Documenta 5 in 1972 in Kassel, as well as retrospectives at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum for Contemporary Art in Berlin. Marden, now regarded as one of the most important Contemporary Abstract painters, lives in New York. ”
C.L.R. James, Mariners, Renegades, & Castaways: The Story of Herman Melville and the World We Live In (1953)
A great part of this book was written on Ellis Island while I was being detained by the Department of Immigration. The Island, like Melville’s Pequod, is a miniature of all the nations of the world and all sections of society. My experience of it and the circumstances attending my stay there have so deepened my understanding of Melville and so profoundly influenced the form the book has taken, that an account of this has seemed to me not only a natural but necessary conclusion.

The Theory Of Relativity - Stars
I am pretty much obsessed with this track. That beat is just too unforgettable.
Stars is one of those boundary-pushing bands whose genre is undefinable. It is almost as though Stars is a genre of its own. One can definitely sense the 80s influence, which just makes this band all the more amazing!
Set your mind on wide
Fall apart before they catch you baby
And never be just what they want you to be
Now that you’ve grown so wise
Use that head and stop to think a little
Just ‘cause you’re crazy doesn’t mean that you’re free
Back in lame grade ten I was a total devastator, baby
Down in the schoolyard they all fell to their knees
But it can’t be '93, sadly, 'cause I wish it could forever
You call it luck; I call it tragedy
What would you say?
If I fell apart
Could you bring me back there?
What would you say?
If I fell apart
Could you bring me back?
We got a rock DJ
We got a total fuckin’ alcoholic
We got a thing they call a cyber girl
A warm ovation please
For the dude who sold us ecstasy
He’s building homes now in the new third world
The snow just keeps on fallin’ in Hawaii and all stations west
Find someone close and hold them like you care
This is a race to the end and I don’t intend to win it, baby
You go ahead I’m gonna meet you there
Win it
Win it
B-A-D, used to talk of relativity
That was way back when everyone was scared
Now that we’re deep inside behind the wires, there’s a place to hide
You can do things they would’ve never dared
What would you say?
If I fell apart, could you bring me back there?
What would you say?
If I fell apart, could you bring me back?
So don’t be scared
There will be things we have dared
Don’t be scared
There will be things we have dared
My theory is that he could possibly be aromantic and asexual but my main focus is on aromantic orientation and how Dan connects with it.
LESSON TIME
Asexual: Lack of sexual attraction towards people
Aromantic: lack of romantic attraction towards people.
(Asexuals can be aromantic or have a romantic preference. Aromantics can be asexual or have a sexual preference.)
- Aromantics can enjoy hugs, kissing, and cuddles but just show no interest in a romantic relationship. Although, there aromantics who don’t want any kind of intimacy at all.
- Aromantics don’t get romantic crushes but they can develop platonic crushes called Squishes .
- Aromantics can still find people beautiful and that can sometimes lead them to wanting a friendship with that person they find themselves aesthetically attracted to. This can sometimes confuse aromantics and lead them to believe that because they find a person beautiful and want to get to know them (and possibly cuddle with them) that they want something romantic with them.
- When aromantics get squishes they can get butterflies from being nervous to hang out or talk with their squish. Which can also lead to confusion on trying to differentiate whether their attraction towards the person is romantic or platonic.
NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL DETAILS BUT STILL IMPORTANT:
- Now what I have noticed is that he makes small vague references of love in his songs(that’ s not really a big deal because people have diverse interests and he has stated before in some interview that love songs aren’t his thing to write about) *Yet I don’t want to rule this out completely*
- He had said in another interview that he had gone on a date and got drunk because of how nervous he was. *Review: Aromantics can get nervous around their squish* (interview took place in the earlier years of Bastille)
- I read somewhere in an interview that it was a girlfriend who submitted him into the contest. (This interview took place when Bastille was barely starting) I can’t find the interview or any other interview where he makes a reference to the friend as “a girlfriend” instead he then on and still does just says “friend”. He has never referenced an ex ever again, after that interview nor has he talked about a love interest. Yes, it’s also none of our business but again, can’t rule that out!
KEY DETAILS:
- Dan publicly doesn’t show any interest in romance at all especially his own love life which seems to not exists. (Yeah, it’s none of our business but still it’s important to the theory.) Glory orThings we lost in the fire video is not a good example of an argument to use to say that “he can not possibly be aromantic because in the music videos he had a love interest.” If you do believe that though, my response is this…They were only music videos where they both had to act.
2.Dan kissing someone does not mean he is interested in romance
*Keep in mind that aromantics and asexuals as well can still enjoy being kissed (plus he could have been drunk here) so either way the kiss does not mean anything really
3. I found this theory rather interesting and the fact that I’m not alone on this-makes it 10 times more exciting to talk about. CLICK ME orME
If you have any opinions, different or not please share. I would like to hear them all! Also, I know I could possibly be missing some more information about this theory(whether the information is for it or not) so if you have any information you would like me to add on, please message me :)
If any of you have the links to the interviews that I refer to, please share them with me so that I can add them on here.
Please keep in mind this is just a theoryand that I could be wrong. SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE SO SERIOUSLY. Do NOT take this out of context and assume that I’m trying to make this a fact when I’m not because again this evidence can just mean something else. Do NOT harass him by tagging him or messaging him or anyone he knows to see if he is. If he isn’t, he isn’t and if he is, he is. He doesn’t have to tell us either. Though there are some people who find this just as interesting and so this is for them as much as it is for me. If you don’t like it then just scroll down and go on about your day. Hope you ALL have a good one x
Thanks for reading! x

Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Still Life with Glass Flask and Fruit, c. 1750
Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (November 2, 1699 – December 6, 1779) was an 18th-century French painter. He is considered a master of still life, and is also noted for his genre paintings which depict kitchen maids, children, and domestic activities. Carefully balanced composition, soft diffusion of light, and granular impasto characterize his work.
Chardin worked very slowly and painted only slightly more than 200 pictures (about four a year) in total.
Chardin’s work had little in common with the Rococo painting that dominated French art in the 18th century. At a time when history painting was considered the supreme classification for public art, Chardin’s subjects of choice were viewed as minor categories. He favored simple yet beautifully textured still lifes, and sensitively handled domestic interiors and genre paintings. Simple, even stark, paintings of common household items (Still Life with a Smoker’s Box) and an uncanny ability to portray children’s innocence in an unsentimental manner nevertheless found an appreciative audience in his time, and account for his timeless appeal.
Largely self-taught, Chardin was greatly influenced by the realism and subject matter of the 17th-century Low Country masters. Despite his unconventional portrayal of the ascendant bourgeoisie, early support came from patrons in the French aristocracy, including Louis XV. Though his popularity rested initially on paintings of animals and fruit, by the 1730s he introduced kitchen utensils into his work (The Copper Cistern, ca. 1735, Louvre). Soon figures populated his scenes as well, supposedly in response to a portrait painter who challenged him to take up the genre. Woman Sealing a Letter (ca. 1733), which may have been his first attempt, was followed by half-length compositions of children saying grace, as in Le Bénédicité, and kitchen maids in moments of reflection. These humble scenes deal with simple, everyday activities, yet they also have functioned as a source of documentary information about a level of French society not hitherto considered a worthy subject for painting. The pictures are noteworthy for their formal structure and pictorial harmony. Chardin said about painting, “Who said one paints with colors? One employs colors, but one paints with feeling.”
A child playing was a favourite subject of Chardin. He depicted an adolescent building a house of cards on at least four occasions. The version at Waddesdon Manor is the most elaborate. Scenes such as these derived from 17th-century Netherlandish vanitas works, which bore messages about the transitory nature of human life and the worthlessness of material ambitions, but Chardin’s also display a delight in the ephemeral phases of childhood for their own sake.
Chardin frequently painted replicas of his compositions—especially his genre paintings, nearly all of which exist in multiple versions which in many cases are virtually indistinguishable. Beginning with The Governess (1739, in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa), Chardin shifted his attention from working-class subjects to slightly more spacious scenes of bourgeois life.[22] Chardin’s extant paintings, which number about 200, are in many major museums, including the Louvre.

I didn’t really want to cry today, but here we are Lol :’)
So we all know that Rian’s mom Shoni doesn’t make an appearance in the series and there is a possibility that she won’t make an appearance in the future.
I have seen a lot of head canons as to what might have happened to her and this is just my addition to those head canons. I think that it’s possible that Shoni might have died while giving birth Rian/ or she died shortly after he was born, this could explain her absence as well as the absence of Rian’s younger siblings. I’m probably not the only person who has thought of this but that’s okay.
I wrote the lyrics from “Dear Theodosia Reprise” to add more effect.
Astronomer Tests Whether Earth Is Being Avoided By Alien Civilizations (link)
“Back in 1973, John Ball, a radio astronomer at MIT explained why we haven’t come into contact with aliens yet. He postulated that alien civilizations could be unilaterally avoiding us. Keeping Earth as a part of some kind of intergalactic ZOO. So, in a sense, we’d be left alone because of alien “Don’t Touch The Animals” signs.”
~First of all… Earthlings are animals (= talking monkeys which someone helped to evolve);2.Ancient meaning of word “Eden” = ZOO; 3. On Earth (Gaia/Terra) lives more species than anywhere in this corner of galaxy; 4. Overlords of this prison planet = patriarchal priests and their political/aristocratic puppies (etc) will never allow you to leave this rock (ask Branson or Musk, shit happens);5. And… if to believe the millions of witnesses UFO visit us for a long time, they doing experiments on us all the time as we on other earthly animals, so for sure, they do not treat us equally. And as I observe humans through whole my life, it doesn’t surprise me at all… In my opinion they should push evolution of other animals… maybe dolphins… instead they used chimpanzees DNA (I guess they didn’t know how cruel and vicious could be these monkeys… sometimes they even eat their own) so… that’s why we (humans) can only kill each other. But of course this is only a theory, right? As far as I know, we won’t explore space soon thanks to priests and/or other greedy bastards, and no one else… Cuz the moment we will, their fairy tales and slave-system will fall.
But I can be wrong. I hope so. ;)-

STEVEN UNIVERSE MOVIE
ok how can you not believe this villain has some strong af connection with PD? I mean look at all this fcking pink y'all
we sure know that in this show nothing is pink just because
i’m not quite sure about the “PINK DIAMOND REPLACEMENT GEM THEORY” although it would we so fcking cool, but this is sure as hell totally PD related
now, as much as I hope it is, I also hope that the crewniverse has a good explanation for this bc all the identity drama has already been closed, and it would be weird to just bring it up out of nowhere putting our grown up baby on the line again
but anyways i’m sure i’m gonna love it whatever it is about because i’m a total steven universe trash
no one’s been talking about this and I really think is very important so here, take a look at it
Can y’all imagine the RELIEF we’ll feel once we listen to Escapism for the 1st time?
we’ve known about this song for a long ass time even longer that we’ve known about That Distant Shore and THAT WAS STILL A LONG ASS TIME oof i’m so excited
Since everything in this fricking show is about parallelisms then WD is a fcking fusion how’s that
“Garnet? Does that call herself a ‘Garnet’?”
imagine (hopefully) after her redemption, BD talking to Garnet and actually referring to her as Garnet?
“Garnet, watch out!”
“Hello, Garnet”
“What about Garnet?”
wd spoilers and i’m living 4it
everyone pictured her as a woman in her late 40s but she actually is a ray of light in her early 20s
Most of Barthes I find quite accessible: he uses imagery and I can understand. But right now, there is a sentence in “Soap-Powders and Detergents” that I have read FOUR TIMES and cannot understand.

What if Nate is a victim abuse? Because why did he have a nightmare of his dad on top of him in the motel? This would prolly make sense, because Nate’s mom mentioned that after he turned a certain age, he became really dark. Maybe he became dark after seeing his father’s tapes, or maybe he was abused by his dad. Maybe that’s the reason? I’m in no way trying to condone his behavior, but think about it. Why would Nate have a nightmare of his dad abusing him in that way if it didn’t happen to him? Ever when I watched season one I always wondered if Nate was a victim of s*xual abuse, I just got that vibe from their relationship. The scene in season one where Nate fought his dad and he broke down crying and banging his head made me feel like he was mad about something else and not just football. When you rewatch that scene, notice how Nate started crying when his dad was on top of him. He kept saying “get off me.” And maybe Nate started crying because looking back at his reaction in the mirror reminded him of taped his dad had. Idk man. Maybe im over thinking things and it’s not that deep, but I always got the vibe that Nate’s dad did something to him as a child.
I feel like that painting reference has a deeper meaning and symbolism for something but I can’t piece it together. But Nate’ trauma with his dad and why he doesn’t like him probably goes a lot deeper.
THE THEORY OF A FIVE YEAR PLAN | DailyVee 005
Something I’ve always maintained is that sex is only as good as the context you place it in. Pumping away at someone can be the least attractive thing in the world if you’ve done nothing to lead up to it, nothing to frame it in a way that makes it attractive. It’s just a physical action without the mental obsession behind it.
And Dominance, submission, and all that fun bondage is a way to provide some context. That’s not all it is, by a long shot, but in the moment, when you’re pumping away, doing that physical action, that is what’s driving you, and making it feel so fucking good. I’ve been known to obsess over cultivating that context, making sure it’s as powerful and perfect as I can.
But in the apex, the climactic moment, I can’t help but feel that that context is entirely irrelevant. In that moment, I can barely think, let alone hold in my mind everything that I’ve done to get myself to that moment. I’m not claiming to understand how the female mind processes an orgasm, but if it’s even remotely close to how my mind processes it, it’s an entire cessation of thought, at a fundamental level.
Well, maybe there’s one thought. It’s usually an expletive.
I’m not placing a huge amount of importance on that idea though, as interesting as I find it. Because sex isn’t about the climax, not really. The climax is (really (fucking)) great, but I can climax all on my lonesome. There’s a reason we look for someone to climax with. It’s better with two. And it’s better with a whole lot of context, a whole lot of foreplay, and a whole lot of framing.
Sex is in your mind, eating away at the frayed edges. It’s much better to just let it in and surround it with the things you love.

Aqua as a Xehanort vessel/member of the True Organization was a big surprise, but this was actually foreshadowed all the way back in 3D! Recall what Master Xehanort said at the finale of Dream Drop Distance: “But Sora and another on your list belong to me now.” He wasn’t referring to Terra; he was referring to Aqua!
Aqua being in trouble was already implied in earlier trailers (specifically the one where Sora finds the Master’s Defender, with no wielder, on the beach). At the time, we thought the worst that could have happened was that she was Killed Off for Real. Now we know there are worse possibilities that we had ruled out. Additionally, we may know why Xehanort would possess Aqua: she made herself a target by telling Terranort she knew how to get to Ven in 0.2. Since Xemnas’ brute force attempts to get through Castle Oblivion had failed, the next logical step (given Xehanort’s abilities) would be to possess its creator and get her to open it for him.
Even further back, when Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep was first released, one may recall what Vanitas said after his first battle with Aqua.
Vanitas: “Never hurts to have a backup…”
Even better (or worse), the opening to Birth by Sleep in the HD 2.5 rerelease was actually altered to mute Aqua’s hair colour to be more grey, and with this revelation, it had to have been deliberate. It was Foreshadowing in something that you wouldn’t think twice about.
It was foreshadowed in DDD with the reveal of the Recusant’s Sigil. We saw it with Terra, but we thought Aqua was safe, because Eraqus’s symbol broke it. But what was staring us in the face as she moved around onscreen? The one on her back. And when brute force didn’t work against Aqua, what did Vanitas do, again?
Additionally, what if Sora finding the Master’s Defender on the beach was due to Aqua realizing Xehanort’s intent and as a last, desperate defense, flinging the key to Castle Oblivion’s lock as far away from her as possible? That would have left her absolutely defenseless against Xehanort, no matter the state of her heart beforehand.- In BBS Aqua was supposed to be a backup for Ven as a Light to forge the X-blade
-The 2 on the list. I also thought that it indicates that he means aqua before. But. Before that line he lists off the wayfinder trio and about terra he says “ the feckless youth who became my new vessel”. So I would say he is still referring to Terra (sadly)
Looking through my old XY playthrough and I was reminded of another theory I have.
That the King of Kalos (AZ) is the one of the two brothers who fought in the war of Truth and Ideals thousands of years ago in BW
