I AM SO PISSED I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS
cal having depersonalization-derealization disorder.
throughout zero day, we observe cal zoning out, hesitating, or not understanding certain places or things. in the final words and when they’re building the pipe bombs, he stares at the ground a lot. he seems as if he’s trying to ground himself, to make sure everything is real around him. when he’s making his own tapes, he has weird pauses between his words in unnatural places. he also struggles to understand the consequences of his actions and how to read certain events like in the poetry scene or how he acted before and after prom.
a very significant moment is right before zero day when andre tells cal he couldn’t have done this with anyone else. cal takes almost a minute to fully answer him and his eyes are transfixed on the gun he’s loading. he even messes up the wording. the entire time we see cal, it’s like he’s in a dream.
while these things by themselves don’t seem like much, they paint a picture when joined together. cal doesn’t see himself as a real human. he struggles with seeing other people and things as real. it’s part of what gives him the grandiose ideas that allowed him to plan for zero day. he mentions how people used to duel in the past and the “code of the samurai.” nothing he says is in relation to himself or to his surroundings.
cal thinks of himself as an entity, of something greater than matter and greater than gravity. he is something he can’t touch. he is something that can’t relate to the world around him. he is so detached that he cannot touch the ground.

*group activities are canceled across the country, traveling is shut down, cities are quarantined, people are fist-fighting over toilet paper, entire countries are put on lock-down*
me: huh… I am once more living through a History Book Moment as I go to work, file my taxes, and do dishes about it. Wild.
quarantine feels kinda like that area between christmas and new years where i have no idea what day of the week it is, or if i’m supposed to be going to work. AM and PM blend together. i’ve taken four naps in 10 hours. leftovers are my primary foodsource. got that weird sunday anxiety except it’s every day for the next 2 weeks
mutuals reblog with the first season of dimension 20 that you watched as it was coming out week to week. mine was the seven
Okay, I just have to tell this story after my last reblog about old fan fiction.
So in the 8th grade my class was assigned a book project. Throughout one marking period we had to do 3 book reports from a list of assignments given—so, for example, one option was drawing a comic to explain what the book was about. Now we had to present them in front of the class, and when this group of girls got up to present, they announced their book came from Wattpad.
wAtTpAdDdD!!
And not only that, the book they chose was based off One-Direction. Now me and my friends are trying to hold back our laughter because we know that what they did technically wasn’t a book, but fan fiction. The teacher was so confused and they had to sit there and explain what Wattpad was and the book they chose, but they almost KILLED ME when one girl mentioned it was also a lemon, although I don’t think she meant to say it as loud as she did. But the teacher already being confused and wanting an explanation asked what a lemon was and the whole room got so quiet. It’s a memory I will never forget!! 😭🤣
I honestly have so many funny/weird stories from middle school and high school, I can’t. 😂
Lots of my favorite vines are old ones, so here are some that I didn’t want lost to the wind
Might make part 2 w/more modern vines(?)
Callback to the one time I caught my dad watching "Diablo 4 All Lilith cutscenes" on YouTube, said nothing and just took a seat next to him on the couch to watch it with him
