      And the character of Frank Burns became an anchor point for the delusion Not because the writers of M*A*S*H were on this guy's wavelength at all, not because the character is actually anything like the Devil in his head But Burns was just there, he was convenient

      He does a lot of "plotting" and "scheming" in the show and if your mind is fixated on the idea of someone plotting and scheming against you, well that's all it takes That and M*A*S*H just being on TV all the time in the 80s and 90s in long syndicated blocks

      Before you know it you're in your car driving to California with the intent to murder Larry Linville over a decade after his retirement in the vain belief it will solve all the problems in the world Or you're making your husband be astrally possessed by Snape or whatever

      It's just funny and depressing, how powerfully our minds bend and distort things to turn them into whatever we need them to be Like I'm absolutely certain this is how religion works and if there ever was a real Jesus he'd be unrecognizable to the one most Christians know

      How we do this to *real people*, how micro-celebrities beset by parasocial relationships talk about the surreal experience of people acting like they know them, having had hundreds of imaginary conversations in their head with someone who sounds nothing like them

      This is ultimately what Freudian psychology is about, telling you the reason your relationships end up dysfunctional and falling apart is you're not really talking to the person in front of you but someone else who hurt you long ago

      It just leads you to a kind of despair Like obviously the Snapewives of the world are worse than most of us but do any of us *really* see the people around us for who they are? Instead of populating the world with figments of our own mind superimposed on them?

      People slam critics they don't like for "talking about your own issues instead of just telling us about the movie" But aside from bland shitty "This movie was 96 minutes long and had 13 explosions" style "objective" reviews, don't all reviews do that

      I dunno, it's bleak, challenging stuff to think about This is why DDLC struck me as so dark and depressing, being a deconstruction of the whole anime waifu phenomenon, turning it around on you

      The idea of Monika thinking of herself as "in love with you" and "in a relationship with you" even though she knows NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOU because you literally have no way of communicating with her She just sits there talking to the air and imagining your response

      I'm doing this right now, aren't I? I'M talking to myself in public and, even though there's a few specific real people I think might read this and react to it, am mostly talking to a generic imaginary reader on whom I'm projecting qualities about myself

          You are. But as a real person reading this, I still enjoy hearing your thoughts out loud, and the insights I get from your musings get incorporated into my own understanding of the world. We speak to ourselves out loud, & thus enrich each other’s efforts to build better selves.

          I like to think I'm not imaginary, but one never knows.

          you're self aware enough to know though, so maybe that's something.
