Hmmm kinda skeptical about dimorphous expression, like 'cute agression' 'so happy I could cry' etc. Why doesn't it happen in both directions? Why does it seem only to happen with certain emotions?

i think when you’re so happy you could cry there’s a grief there. it’s like the grief of waiting and staying strong for a long time and then things get better and you don’t have to anymore

about to head to bed and too tired to respond individually, but to clarify, i'm playing around with the idea that tears are literally always an expression of grief, and that "tears of joy" means there's grief mixed in with the joy

that one i think is a repressed desire for much more touch than most people think is appropriate surfacing in a wonky way
preconquest consciousness is pretty clear that in the studied populations people get very, very intensely physically affectionate with babies
