One of the saddest things about Syndrome in the Incredibles is that he is genuinely talented in his own area of expertise. And he could have used that for good! He could have easily been the Edna Mode of superhero gadgets, because superheroes "need" (or at least use) cool gadgets all the time! He could have been loved and respected for his own brilliance! And ironically, that would have made him more like a real superhero, because what makes a Real Superhero is someone who is motivated to use their extraordinary gifts to help others. But Syndrome didn't really care about helping others; what he wanted was the Fame, the Glory, the Adoration of being the center of attention, so he never would have been content with a "power behind the throne" kind of position. But he COULD have been loved and respected for who he already was, and that's part of the tragedy of it.

it's not even cringe; it's just personal and unpolished and you've been taught to flinch away from vulnerability which doesn't mock itself

everyone is all like "why does no one write love letters anymore" when the simple answer to that is, that vulerability and the unapologetic and unironic pouring out of ones emotions is almost always ridiculed in some way so

I feel like this is the same thing as when people almost exclusively show affection by bullying. My ex-partner did this; she was like "yeah if I'm talking shit to you that means I'm comfortable with you."

And like, yes, I do love some spicy banter between friends and partners, but also, like. Would it kill you to just say, without reservation, that you like me? That you're happy to see me? That you enjoy spending time with me?

Gonna be treating that particular character trait as a red, or at least orange flag going forward.

“Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope empathy, accountability, and authenticity.

If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

Small reminder for my Texas/southwest peope. Going to be expecially nasty next week. Stay hydrated, stay cool, keep an eye on your neighbors.

Popping this back up, since it’s getting hot here, and won’t get any cooler ‘til October.  Stay hydrated, friends!
