Wesley Crusher: "Oh, I'm doing a project on whether it's possible to make people's nightmares real."

I need to go back to Alan Wake 2 and actually finish it
but now I'm torn on whether I restart only that game
or do I revisit the whole sequence (AW1 -> American Nightmare -> Control -> AW2)
it's so much to replay, but I've also forgotten so much...

Righting Wrongs (1986)
One of those absolutely bonkers Hong Kong action flicks where every few minutes you get a scene that makes you legitimately fear for the actors' safety
It's also tonally bizarre in a fascinating way, switching from goofy slapstick comedy to utterly bleak crime drama

The Trap (1996)
The final part of the Maiku Hama trilogy.
It gets a bit messy and convoluted, but still a lot of fun. Right when everything is finally going right for him, Maiku is framed in a giallo-flavored murder case and has to clear his name.
I could've watched a dozen more of these, easily.

The Stairway to the Distant Past (1995)
The second entry in the Maiku Hama trilogy, now in color.
And HOLY SHIT.
This one starts off as a light comedic romp with our eccentric private eye, and then it spirals into a feverishly strange nightmare descent into the traumas of post-occupation Japan.

What an absolute treat. A stylish, silly, and extremely violent love-letter to the Japanese New Wave.
The first of the Maiku Hama trilogy. Going to need to watch them all now.

I've only started this one, and we already have vampires being a real, predatory subspecies of humans that were accidentally brought back through genetic experimentation
and this is just a background detail in a sci-fi story about alien contact

reminding myself "this is an injury," and getting the parasympathetic nervous system to chill the fuck out are super crucial. it's not a panacea but there are some attacks it's very helpful for. Just reminding the body "you are not in danger right now" helps

one thing that helps me through the trauma is to tell myself "this is not happening right now, my mind is attempting to protect me by keeping me vigilant, but I am not presently in danger" and similar

one of the most difficult things to do after you've gotten away from an abuser, is convincing yourself that you are not the person they told you that you are
it's the last remnant of the power and control they tried to exert over you, to prevent you from giving yourself the kindness you deserve
