Tragic news like half the ways people talk about magic in fiction could irl be applied to maths

"magic is the threads that tie the world together, the unspoken web at the heart of the universe" that's mathematics babey!

You ever think about how when you gauge if it's safe to cross the road based off how fast and far away the cars are you're actually doing difficult calculus subconsciously? Almost like maths is something you have an inherent understanding of in many ways but in order to advance in it and truly understand it you have to learn it in an academic setting? Almost like many magic systems?

weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn't a topic of conversation unless it's urgent huh

"it's dark in here" normal regular observation

"finally some quiet" relatable exclamation

"doesn't smell like anything in here" absolutely deranged sentence

To be fair, nowadays if you claim you can’t smell anything, everyone will wonder if you have covid.

You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

True story.

When people say close your eyes and imagine, i... can imagine a concept but i can't see it with my mind eye. So... the image won't stay in my head, it's more like the idea will stay in my head and unless i draw them i won't ever see them and yea I get sick because sometimes I really want to see what I imagine.

for my fic : Alice and Sleeping Beauty

Hisoka is going to be lead in Winter’s 9th so I am putting this here before the performance might refute my claims.

Hisoka has a Dissociative Identity Disorder.

The old and more well-known term would be Multiple Personality Disorder, and I know, it’s not like what’s usually described in other medias.

Hear me out.

#i think it's interesting that Hisoka was the one u pegged with DID cause honestly going through his story i thought#cause when Guy was young his stepfather was shitty to him which caused childhood trauma that forced him to create an android alter#though i don't feel it as much with Hisoka it's still cool to see your analysis of him with DID though!!#anyways little ramble about Guy because! the fact that he can't remember anything from his past is like amnesiac barriers between alters#and the confusion when he gets memories that aren't his because they belong to human Guy but don't fit in with android Guy's memories#but anyways!! it's very cool that you're talking about Hisoka having DID in a non stigmatized way#a3!

Guy doesn’t quite fit because he has amnesia, but he didn’t run away or have a known confused phase, so he doesn’t have fugue. Though one might argue that his ‘android’ self is he’s in fugue state, it’s also known that those with a dissociative disorder are more easily influenced than others. 

So, my argument on Guy is that yes, he has dissociative amnesia, but he doesn’t actually have android alter. He just thinks he’s an android from the verbal abuse by his parents that acts like hypnotism. He accepts stepfather’s claim that he’s inhuman. He’s still Guy. But he just stops thinking he’s human. 

As for Hisoka...

As I said, it’s canon for him to have dissociative disorder, but my headcanon is that December has become his alter. The highlight of DID is not remembering what should be remembered, and that people around them observed different demeanors which might suggest an alter, and there’s an episode of that in canon. That episode can also be explained by Hisoka having a fever dream. That’s why it’s my headcanon.

But, it’s fun to imagine, right?

Like in Scarlet Mirror. At first, Hisoka was absolutely terrified of July. It’s to the point of him going into fugue state AGAIN and ended up in god-knows-where. Even Chikage was like, okay, this is definitely because you got a flashback. Later on, after Juza and Kumon convince him he needs to make up with Chikage, Hisoka decides to go after Chikage and confront July with him.

But, is it that simple? 

The main point in Scarlet Mirror is that Hisoka is terrified of the organization and the possibility of them coming to kill everyone in MANKAI. That’s why Chikage decides to deal with it on his own. But, even if he’s convinced that Chikage took the hard way for his sake, is it that easy to overcome his fear which just days prior brought him down to a fugue state?

There’s also this exchange.

Izumi has witnessed him mentioning things he doesn’t remember afterwards, and she also has seen him with a different demeanor. This is why I’m arguing that December is his alter. Hisoka is terrified of the organization. December doesn’t. He’s taking over in this scene.

He has some lines that suggest that he put a line between Hisoka and December. 

At least, that’s how I read it.

It’s also fun to read Scarlet Mirror with the premise of Hisoka having DID because of the implication that Winters and Chikage obviously know that Hisoka has an alter. Chikage doesn’t want December to come out, and that’s why he’s insisting Hisoka should let it be. When ‘Hisoka’ goes to him and goes ‘what about December?’, and Chikage was so done because he realized that’s not Hisoka. That’s December.  Winters are taking the ‘we’ll support you whatever you decide’ approach. 

And then there’s Chikage’s chapter on epi12.

There’s the scene where Hisoka has to insist to Chikage that it was ‘Hisoka Mikage’ who looked up information about Date. Hisoka Mikage did, with the ways that is available to him as Hisoka Mikage. I’m reading it as Hisoka knowing that Chikage is worried and still uncomfortable with December coming out even though from Scarlet Mirror it can be seen that December isn’t exactly an evil alter, and so he’s assuring Chikage that it’s all Hisoka. Hence the many insistence and highlights on it.

Guy doesn’t have this kind of scenes and suggestive lines.
