yeah my opinion is that it doesnt generally actually matter what order you read something in, the information eventually becomes a nonlinear network of associations. so the actual definitive reading order of anything is
1. release order
2. then go back and reread any parts you really like

autobiographical fiction, "jk... unless...", dreams, ghost stories, the kinds of jokes a really depressed person makes, tears of a clown, unreliable narrators, wearing a mask in the shape of your own face

the idea that a creative reading order will get you closest to "the truth" of a text is really funny to me, almost mystical, esoteric

anything other than release order, for anything, I cant take seriously as "definitive"-- but they can be fun as a "look what this does to the series, look at what meanings emerge when you make these parts speak to each other". it's like collage, or blackout poetry, bricolage

that identification with oppressors/superego-- it cant be eliminated, but it can be approached with humour and play in order to subvert its power over your real beliefs and actions. and the id is a powerful and necessary force in one's life-- it cares for you, deeply. but it cant make complex plans

while that final option might lay the foundation for real liberation, a life in a paradigm that doesn't try to destroy you, the process of getting there doesn't feel free hardly ever. it takes a ton of mental discipline to keep hatred and derision from destroying your delicate, nascent reality

loss of control can mean psychotically identifying with one's oppressor, temporary relief from feeling like a victim, at the expense of so much else. it can mean surrender to id, cumming, eating, fighting, fleeing. or it can mean the brave work of creating a new ego, way of being, thinking, art

I'm not insane in any way that makes sense. my sensory anomalies might be autistic. my surreality a feature of living under reality-making regimes which fundamentally misunderstand my life. im desperate for freedom-- to "lose control"

sometimes I think it's the responsibility to perform sanity that makes me so depressed

Werewolf Wednesday again. The flowers: Hemlock, Belladonna, and poppies, are some of the purported toxic/hallucinogenic herbs to rub all over yourself as a salve to transform. So get on that. It’s just about time.
