GANDER’S GANDER INTO THE FOLKS OF CHITTR PART ⒊⒏ — @germicidalManiac Pelagi Noctil Plume (plural: plumes) – AN UMBRELLA TERM encompassing any niduses of infection. Think a muddy puddle, dust particles emanating from a construction site, the moisture of a cough flung alarmingly close to your skin. We are NOT 🗨ing about squawkbeast feathers, people! Do Not Make My Mistake. Anyway. *in narrator voice, imagine a French accent* Ah… the Sea. So fascinating, so wonderful. We know more about space than what lies beneath these depths. Your average seadweller knows only slightly more than you do. We have yet to fully appreciate the diversity of Beasts swimming where it’s wetter. Take this ♥ly specimen, for example——the JELLYFISH. They come in ALL SORTS OF FLAVORS: clear (water), purple (water), blue (water), pink (pepto bismol). They can even GLOW——it has been estimated that fifty (⒌0) percent of our jellyfiends are BIOLUMINESCENT! Such luminescence is used in a VARIETY OF WAYS! (Seriously, it is AWESOME!) Their physiology focuses on MINIMALIST SURVIVAL TACTICS, forgoing, well, just about EVERY REGULAR BODILY SYSTEM in favor of Lite Editions, ensuring it lives effectively as the ocean’s floater. As you can see, this jellyfish is… wait. What is… WHAT IS *THAT?!?!* *MAJESTIC AWESOME GOOSE DIVES ↓ AND EATS THE JELLYFISH AND THEN EXPLODES* (CROWD GASP!) WHAT THE [HONK]!!! MY DOCUMENTARY!!! That was NOT s↑posed to happen! … But. Um. OK. MOVING ON! Let’s Take A Gander at Pelagi Noctil! (CROWD CHEER!!!) The first thing you learn about Pelagi——besides the fact she is sweetly jellyfish themed, a CURIOUS IDIOSYNCRACY——is her intense aversion to the PLUMES. Pelagi’s fear is expressed almost CONSTANTLY on Chittr, warning those on land or sea about plumes, and reprimanding seadwellers for not taking due diligence in PREVENTABLE LANDISEASE. She has a habit of imposing her beliefs on other people, though it’s evident she does not intend to FEARMONGER or MANIPULATE. Rather, she carries an extreme worry for one’s (⒈’s) health. She is well-meaning, dedicated, and only trying to look out for the world in a way she is passionate about. Hygiene is important but her painstaking worry borders on OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVENESS, which has been determined to be of Psychological Origin rather than a biological particularity. On a biological scale, the pan creates a hyperbolic perception of disease and bacteria, elevating stress activity when posed with the thought of illness-conducive environments. Such a fear leads to the POTENTIALITY of exhibiting a host of symptoms, namely but NOT limited to: intrusive thoughts, constant safety-seeking mannerisms (wearing protective gear to prevent contact with air), and intense avoidance behaviors, all of which can be observed in Pelagi’s GENERAL DEMEANOR. Germaphobia (mysophobia is more clinically accurate to her case) can be distilled into a NEED TO STAY IN CONTROL of her surroundings. It's why the depths of the sea are All She Knows. However, to maintain total, unequivocal control means to reduce your worldview to all that you’re certain can be safe. People would argue that isn’t LIVING, but this is a lifestyle that Pelagi was not able to choose. Pelagi is haunted by the ILLUSION of overvulnerability, something which she KNOWS isn’t true, but it’s an ideology she is tethered to regardless. She can’t help it. She is trapped by her circumstances, her duties as a member of society and a victim of its mind. Her lifestyle is taut with interintrapersonal pressures, leaving LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR, lest she be flung into a situation she can’t rein in——and that is her worst fear. It is as saddening as it is sympathizable. Though it is incredibly PROMINENT in her demeanor, to relegate Pelagi into what she fears most would be denying her the → to be a person. Above all else, she wants to be PERCEIVED not only as someone (⒈) to listen to but someone to understand. On Chittr, she has expressed her LIKES, HOBBIES, AND DESIRES. Pelagi is an artist in the making, indulgent and self-satisfying, and SENSITIVE to the works of the aquatic ecosystem, advocating for environmental protection and respect. She follows the laws of the body and society, revelling in her HIGH STATUS and attending to the needs of the Flesh whenever the duty calls for it. (If you Know What I Mean) Pelagi constantly admits that she is not the most socially apt person. There have been many occasions where she’s suffered a FAUX PAS (this means a misstep; yes I am still French), leading to many moments of awkwardness and embarrassment. She is the impressionable sort, often putting faith in others to learn new things. (Case in point: the Human Incident. Pelagi, you know the one.) Her worldviews are myopic but it’s abundantly clear she is learning to see beyond the METAPHORICAL JELLIHELMET and understand what’s beyond the depths. She has shown an OPENNESS to working around her social shelteredness, at times bending the laws of her cage to interact with broader society. This has been one of the FEW CASES where Chittr——or at least a DEDICATED GRO↑ OF CHITTRERS——has actively helped someone better assimilate to interacting with people, not only ONLINE but in the REAL WORLD. TO REITERATE: you are not your fears. You aren’t your pain, or the emotions that accompany that. You’re grappling with a life difficult to comprehend the qualia of. You’re a late bloomer to being a person. But I think Chittr is a good ★ting place to learn how to BE. Take the platform as you will: a learning experience, exposure therapy, maybe even a place where you can make LONG-TERM FRIENDS. The world is so much bigger than you believe, and a part of you knows there’s little to nothing stopping you, but the mind is your WORST ENEMY. (I Would Know!) Know that you have ALL THE TIME YOU NEED to adjust to everything, and there are people here willing to help you not only understand but find comfort. You may not ever break from your mysophobic tendencies, but I have the feeling that soon you will make the most out of it. (SUSPECTED CLASSPECT: MAID OF LIFE? Ruled over by her own life: her mind, her status, and her physiology. Lives a RIGID, UNFORGIVING SCHEDULE determined by the people around her. Always learning and trying. She is ★ting to break from her shell, which may eventually pave the way to a life she is truly happy with. ★ting is the operative here.) Can I glub legally now? GLUB. OK I did it. I ♥ you guys. FOLLOW PELAGI, SHOW HER TONS OF UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION. I’LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE! Stay healthy! (P.S. I can’t wait to see the Medusa IN ACTION!) #gandertag #glub #jellyfish #underthesea #sealanddoggy #glub #honk!
holy moly you go all out.
Of course I do! Everyone (⒈) is Just So WONDERFUL! (CROWD AWW!)
