from a plural framing, i've heard feelings and thoughts that get repressed or distanced from can gain life of their own. i suppose this could be similar, but, hmmh.
from a more alterhuman framing, i can see how there'd be a push-pull of "this is what kitsch is, but this obviously isn't kitsch."

i mean, i'm sure there's multiple angles and core factors.
like rhea being tied into my internet image, and lion developing this feeling of separate coexistence. both of those would probably cause Weird Feelings in any case.

maybe i want to separate those from self-expression? would that actually make it any clearer or possible to process?
