Tula's heart
Touching her heart in the character art
Something settles heavy on your heart
Losing health from Lay on Hands- something feels wrong
There's a little too much in common
Listen to your heart / something foundational to her is a lie
"Can I cast Divine Sense on my kids?" "Jaysohn constitutes as a fiend."
Brennan plays moms like:
“All of the crowns on all the heads of all the kingdoms of the world don't know - don't know what they're doing and don't know what's going to happen next, and don't know how to stop it.” (Caramelinda, ep 11 ACOC)
“The real reason grownups talk about this like they have a big secret is because we’re scared too. Because as much as you think we know everything, the biggest secret of all is we mostly don’t.” (Tula, ep 2 Burrow’s End)

Okay but like The Fix and Pasha N but as Gomez and Morticia Addams quotes. For example:
The Fix: Look at her, I would die for her, I would kill for her, either way what bliss
-~-
The Fix: How long has it been since we've waltzed?
Pasha N: Oh Fix... hours
-~-
The Fix (to Pasha): You told me facts, you bewitched me, I proposed that very night
-~-
The Fix : Cara mia
Pasha N : Mon cher
after all, what is self-loathing but the deep & inescapable knowledge that you can—should—must—be better?
i cannot even express how much this season has meant to me. all jokes aside i have genuinely been reaching a critical period of self acceptance and reconciliation with a lot of past shame and guilt, primarily through therapy that i am so lucky to have had. i genuinely believe it may have saved my life. and at my session earlier today i finally told my therapist about mentopolis and how much it's helped me conceptualize what ive experienced and how my brain deals with it and how much control i may or may not have over that. and it came up because we were talking about exactly this - a pattern my mind is used to of protecting itself through not acknowledging certain parts of itself. of shame and guilt - while not being pleasant thoughts and feelings - still being a necessary part of yourself. they are what your conscience may use to uphold your moral values, to tell yourself that you feel shame at your actions is because you as a person believe in doing the right thing
mentopolis has been impressive in so many ways to me, but probably no way more so than its incredible examination of the mind in a way that is both scientifically objective and factual and yet still so nuanced and fluid and human. it absolutely blew me away and has affected me in ways that will i probably carry for the rest of my life for the better. absolutely incredible
Not another season of Dimension 20 making me cry!
"Conrad's view has always kind of moved out - to think of bigger things and other people, to think of larger places. And in moving away, sometimes the things that up close are huge and horrifying, get just a little bit smaller, a little bit more right-sized, a little bit easier to manage."
