"Pain is in the mind." But go through enough of it, and there's a possibility that you can be convinced that something is seriously wrong. Conversion disorder is a form of somatoform disorder, a symptom of which manifests as physical problems with no explainable cause.

One of the first times Mal appeared as a shade in Cobb's mind, Arthur had his throat slit. After, it became apparent that he could no longer speak in reality. It didn't affect how he did things much, moving from phone calls to other forms of contact and messaging. And the notebooks certainly saw a lot more use.

... there's probably more, but um. Will edit later if need be. For another example of this meme, see this post.

It was late when Arthur had finally made his way home from the airport. The job had been simple, an in-and-out extraction in order to test the militarization of some company CEO, hardly requiring the three weeks of prep work done by the entire team. He’d checked his messages, made a note that Mal had asked he contact her when he was available before going off to bed, jet lag finally catching up to him.

By the time he wakes, it’s nine in the morning — it doesn’t take long for him to get through his morning routine, and he sorts through his mental list of to-dos. At this time, he’ll be able to catch Mal, if not Dom if he calls their home line. He picks up the phone and dials, holding it between his shoulder, arms free to sort through his laundry while the line connects.

Where I ask you to give me a nudge when I say I will do something, but then don't. Because if I can get away with not doing anything, that is what I'll do.

Constant reminders work best.




Case in point: This post was supposed to be put up days ago.

Leave a comment with your character and I'll let you know a possible gift that Arthur would have gotten your pup if they were the sort to exchange gifts.

Explanation will follow should it be wanted.

If anyone remembers the five things that never happened AKA let's mess with timeline continuity post I did a long, long time back, I started another one. And then just never finished it because... IDK, words. Too many words. (That, and I need to decipher what I originally wrote down.) Maybe I'll just give one worded answers for the rest. I can do that.

Lyric meme redux, where the only way to speak is through song lyrics. Singing optional.



Lyrics may be fragmented and altered to fit the situation, song title, artist and link are optional.

Ringtone meme.

Too much thought into a character? Perhaps.

Is anyone else getting their language settings changed each time they log on with it?

It goes from english to simplified chinese for me, but I've never used that as a setting at all before. I know what word means what, so it's easy to change it back but it's really annoying to have to keep changing things back and forth. It shouldn't just be an LJ problem, since logging in normally doesn't have that effect. Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thank you
