Who's piloting your emotions?

Who's piloting your emotions?

And if you want, what are your personality islands and what does your HQ look like?

is laziness an emotion ?

Apathy, Lethargy, Gluttony. Take your pick.

Anger and disgust, mostly.

That's basically Sadness. The emotions aren't entirely literal; they cover broad spectrums. Sadness is a "low-energy" emotion. Doesn't necessarily mean you're depressed all the time, just maybe more passive and laid back.

alexithymia

sadness and disgust, being occasionally aided in banter by anger

sometimes joy come frollicking along just to get slapped in the face by my sadness because she is alpha as fuck in my brain

there'd be a videogame island and a music island

and also a "repressed memories of gaysex with some old guys so i can buy more weed so i have something to get my mind of how depressed i am"-island, but noone goes there anymore

It's that one

you know the opposite of that thing thing..

I want to say sadness but that's a lie, I'm actually happy that soon everything will be over, so joy.

>what if emotions had emotions: the movie

Pixar is creatively dead

>What if Toys had emotions
>What if cars had emotions
>What if robots had emotions
Pretty much, yeah.

Mostly Joy and Sadness.

sadness, but a very horny sadness

Anger is really prominent, but my conscious mind knows to keep that shit in check. Beyond that, Sadness has the most sway and has me chugging malt liquor to numb the pain so Joy can actually be bothered to come out of its little hidey hole.

Sadness and Anger, Joy show up just sometimes
about the islands, probably just books, music and videogames, and then an obscured island that was about my carrier of student

That said, the islands are Booze, Porn/Sex, Gaming(both video and traditional), and something for my many creative endeavors.

Fear.

Anger and Sadness and Disgust randomly takes over for a while. Joy was killed a long ago.

My HQ is a crumbling, messy old house. My personalitly islands are people I hate, video games and cartoon girls, everything else is a wasteland, I barely remember what happened yesterday.

Mostly fear because my self-confidence and esteem over the past couple months has never been this low.

I'm gonna say it's a pretty embittered HQ warzone with Fear CONSTANTLY fondling just one little knob and stick, never much, but always just a tiny little anxious amount. Anger and Disgust take turns fucking on the floor and changing out to get up and say something incoherent before going back to it.

Joy and Sadness have not looked nor spoken to one another in over 10 years by now, and they're staring ahead with barely contained rictus-looks of raw hate, tightly holding hands, the other free hands endlessly and silently trying to out-manipulate one another.

Joy has more buttons covered. But Sadness has managed to corner the most important and powerful ones and she is not fucking afraid to hammer them like it'll somehow unbreak everything.

Reminder that when you die and all of your problems are over, these poor fuckers still have several minutes where they're fully aware of everything that's going on and it's like fucking Armageddon inside your head for a bunch of tiny bioluminescent emotion people trying to preserve a bunch of memories and shit that crumble in their hands until eventually even their own "Flesh" starts to melt and they too painfully fade from existence until the very last of them fades away in complete darkness...To the sound of their own pathetic pleading.

I'd like to think that they instead just all hold hands, close their eyes with a smile, and meld together into that absolute, final, white emotion that comes in that final second, before the weight of eternity and the heat death of the universe inside claims its long sought prize.

Acceptance.

Fear, followed by sadness, joy, angel and disgust, in that order.

I'm not proud.

Joy and Fear are mostly at the reigns, and have carved out a lot of important memories based on cautious optimism by working together. Neither does anything without consulting the other first, but sometimes they get into arguments over what to do, which last a while. Anger used to have an override switch for piloting commands without a vote, but he abused it too much and the switch ended up in Sadness's hands, who only uses it when Joy and Fear are bickering too much to make a decision. Recently that's happened a lot. Disgust has a full-time job of keeping Anger in check after he burned down Family Island, and doesn't have time for much else as a result. Anger is tiny now, and none of the other emotions trust him with the control board anymore, so he hasn't made a decision in years.

The four personality islands are Friendship Island, Tabletop Island, Animal Island, and Comedy Island. Tabletop Island used to be known as Pretend Island, which was a gigantic park filled with friendly talking pillow-creatures that play-fought with each other constantly, but now it's filled with concrete buildings and the same pillow-creatures 'work' for various themed companies inside. They seem to be enjoying their pretend-jobs all the same despite the different look to the place, but now the play-fights have to be scheduled with an appointment far ahead of time.

Shut up, Nurgle.

Friendship Island is a recent addition, and was constructed shortly after Anger used his override switch to submit a dangerous faulty idea. Disgust was able to stop the idea before the command went through, but it shook up the world's priorities so much as to destroy Family Island as a personality facet. Friendship Island looks suspiciously similar to Family Island with cartoonishly proportioned homes and cars and asphalt driveways, but the mannequins inside are all shaking hands rather than hugging.

Comedy Island and Animal Island have always been around. Comedy Island has one big quiet library where hand-picked memories and blueprints are kept, but is mostly a giant construction site littered with ramshackle structures that are torn down and rebuilt every few seconds. Tiny worker ants in hard-hats, hardly big enough to see, build and break down everything with dizzying speed. Sometimes one of the structures is particularly appealing or clever, and the blueprints are then submitted to the library for safekeeping.

Animal Island is a single gigantic hotel the size of a city block, with butlers and cleaners hurriedly working to serve the thousands of patrons within around the clock. The patrons are all (unsurprisingly) animals of various species, from dogs to birds to ferrets. It's the only personality island that has never changed in structure, though new animal customers still come in every day and never leave.

The HQ is a cramped apartment building; the POV screen is a television surrounded by couches, with the command board haphazardly wired up to it. Wires clutter the floor and nothing on the command board is labeled, but Joy and Fear have a good grip on how it works by now.

Normally it was Joy and Fear heading the ship with Disgust and Anger taking backseats and Sadness hanging out in the corner basically forgotten about. Fear and Sadness won in an emotion revolution and co-opt Joy whenever they want now, with Anger and Disgust holding her back from the control panel when it's 'time'.

Family Island has always been a staple of the personality island and certainly the biggest but nowadays it looks much different. Thick massive chains extend from it and wrap around HQ, keeping it from having full access of Creativity Island, Friendship Island, Gamerland, and Fantasy Island. It resembles more like a big brother compound playing blue-tinted memories over a variety of screens. Creativity Island isn't a vibrant art museum as it used to be, all the color is desaturated and the drawings are blurred as the quality of them slowly degrades. Friendship Island looks like it got nuked but is still floating, held aloft by generators that look like computer towers. Fantasy Island is missing a lot of the wonder, the castles crumbled and the blue fairy a broken statue under a freezing lake rather than the fanciful storybook land it used to be. Gamerland is the only island that looks the same as it used to, with platforms and a number of shiny tokens placed in odd spots inside of it, as well as a number of spiky haired anime looking men with ridiculous weapons.

A close loved one of mine recently was made invalid following a bungled operation and I have been taking care of them. I really care about them but they're not much better than a vegetable and it seems like they'll never get better. I feel like I'm trapped but I can't abandon them because it will rip my family apart. They don't remember some of the things we loved to do before this happened. I do nothing except take care of them all day every day and play some videya at night while they sleep.

Neat.

Shit son, I'm sorry.

I'd think it's usually a group decision between Joy (what if it's good?), Fear (what if it's bad?), and Disgust (what if it's hard work?) to make important decisions, with Disgust sometimes making executive decisions if it's about something I particularly hate. Anger only cares about making snap decisions, and Sadness usually only jumps in with pessimistic opinions if it's a long-term decision like whether or not to buy a house or car.

Gaming Island was destroyed after an addiction kept building onto it until it crumpled under its own weight, so it's gone now. Friendship Island has always been the most stable and lively, and Family Island has been rather neglected but is still standing strong. Hobbyland keeps trying to build up new fads, but it tends to need rebuilding every season.

Fear with a bit of Joy.

An excessive Joy/Anger partnership; Fear and Disgust playing the smallest rolls. My islands would be musicals/music, useless vidya facts, 2D porn-land, and Mt. Obligation. I'm pretty happy with the setup.

...

Anger and discust in charge mostly, sadness being in command of the facial expressions and happiness and panic or danger recognition or whatever that purple guy was are sitting in the back reminissing about how the old days were better.

Joy. But it's an addicted, desperate joy who ignores all outcries from the others in pursuit of short pleasure

>'let's masturbate at 5am!'
'joy you have work to do, the deadline's due tomor-'
>'I feel like having three bottles of cider!'
>'joy you fucking useless slop you' re fucking us ov-
>'Let's listen to Godspeed You Black Emperor so I don' t have to listen to you guys!' :D

Riley is cute.
CUTE!

And absolutely NOT for lewd!

all the emotions would obsess over my fetish island that's for sure it's really starting to get piled up with them it's getting out of hand.

joy wants to enjoy the pleasure of them, fear is making sure that I keep that shit to myself, disgust is finding that stuff erotic in the first place, hatred is hating myself for enjoying it and sadness is regret from doing the action.

Sadness and Fear share the captain's chair in my head, ensuring I'll forever be terrified of my inadequacies and worried about everything. They've made all decorating illegal, and the HQ is just a big gray box, with big gray buttons.

Anger likes to make sure I don't enjoy much of anything, irritated that I might attempt to socialize or play an online game of any sort.

Disgust plays cards with herself as my apathy towards tastes, sights, smells and sounds ever increases, only being called to the control room when something particularly horrid offends my senses. But each day, it seems one less horrible thing- one less type of human torture, animal abuse, smell of a dead creature- really bugs me, and so she has to find new ways to make solitaire interesting.

Joy is sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth, trying to convince herself she has a purpose. Her maddening humming occasionally infects the others with a brief feeling of contentment, but they get it out of their head pretty quickly.

Sadness and Fear are the co-operative leaders. Joy butts in every now and then when I'm with my pets or when hanging with friends. Anger doesn't do much other then sometimes tilt me in vidya. Disgust is just in the corner hating the very being in which it resides
Medication is trying to more evenly distribute the balance of powers.

Was the intention of this thread just to show how /r9k/ we are?

>all this Sadness, Anger, Fear
Do you need to talk about something?

I do but fear is being a real dick to sadness not letting it speak.

apathy is my only real friend.

Showing off how depressed you are is just the cool-kid thing to do now. God forbid you shed a positive or even neutral light on the forces that drive your decisions.

>mfw Inside Out threads are cringe central nowadays

I miss the old days where people would discuss emotion combinations seriously.

Boredom. Only boredom.

It bugs me that everyone's posting Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust like it's fucked up if you don't have Joy at the wheel all the time. That was the whole point of the movie, that none of them are inherently good or bad. I can believe two or three of these as actual attempts, the rest are the level of "a-bloo-bloo fear and sadness make me drink and cut myself."

On a change of subject, unless you want to give the thread topic a shot, how WOULD you describe Disgust or Fear or Sadness being the primary emotion without resorting to depression memes?

Were you born on Sup Forums or merely shaped by it?

I see a therapist and take a lot meds
I'm really lucky that I have my family supporting me

Neither, I was lost well before I came to Sup Forums

Joy definitely, I'm hedonistic as fuck. Sadness is put in charge whenever Joy takes a break but all Sadness ever does is play music. She constantly carries around an old faded core memory of me falling in love but whenever she tries to bring it up to Joy, Disgust and Fear both stop her.
Anger was tired of his work being pointless, so he quit a while back.
My islands are "Superpowers", "games", "crew", "Sitcom", and "Hero".

Weltschmerz

I'm only been coming to Sup Forums for a little over a year. But I've been a wreck of a human since I was a kid.

Going to therapy, taking meds, none of it helps. I feel worse now than I did when I started treatment. I had hope when I started, thinking "hey, maybe this is the first step towards feeling better after all these years," but as time goes on, I realize more and more what a sad excuse of a human being I am and how little will power I have to fix myself.

These are believable, the rest are teenagers trying to be edgy.

This one's clever at least.

I was born by it, molded I didn't know Sup Forums until I was an adult. well that's not true there was a few anime's I liked as a kid

But seriously, I got hooked to animation at a young age.

Tangentially related, Yumi's Cells is a comic based on a similar idea. It's pretty good.

Used to be escapism, but I guess at some point I escaped because there weren't nothing to hide from anymore. Gets very boring over time.

Then it's mostly just loneliness, though it doesn't bother me most of the time, I don't mind being alone extended periods just so long I know I can talk to someone when I want to. I get very clingy to the few friends I have and I can see them pulling away because of it.

Depends. That could be your "Slacker" island, or it could be Fear trying to prevent you from failing at things.

I want to throw her in the pool and do other fun, platonic things with her.

Joy, Anger and Disgust are currently engaged in a small scale orgy.
Sadness is bound and gagged in the corner, they occasionally use him as a onnahole.
Fear died a long time ago.

>Passive Aggression Plaza
>The Island of Pre Abandonment
>Self Destruction Square
>Abandoned Trainyard filled with abandoned ambitions

>tfw ascended to the point where joy and anger have amalgamated into one, and fear and sadness are almost nonexistent (barring extreme circumstances)

I feel that joy would be my main emotion, with fear and sadness being second. But it's mostly because of me worrying about things, but not enough to make me depressed. My pessimism is sometimes a joke, so it's has a bit of joy in there. Anger gets rarely used, but he pops out usually on video games.

And my disgust is rarely used as well.

Sadness was in control for the longest time but isn't anymore, though the others still respect her and let her have the odd moment. These days it's mainly Joy and Anger vying for control and telling Fear to shut up when he tries to chime in. Disgust has long since retired.

Penis

I want to tickle those cute bare feet of hers until she begs for mercy.

>Every personality island and HQ in the thread is a bombed-out, post-apocalyptic Hellscape with anger, sadness, and fear running the show
Why are we all so fucked up?

Because a few outliers aside, if we were happier, more well adjusted people, we probably wouldn't spend our Monday mornings on Sup Forums.

Ok user, whatever you do, don't do what angel tells you to do.
Especially if it tells you to kill in the name of the god.

I feel this movie was just a greenlight for people to not take responsibility for their actions and when bad shit goes south in their lives they are easily able to blame it on one of their emotions that is now given form.

Don't be a fucking pleb and let the kike media control how you think, feel and behave.

Take responsibility for your actions, but then again it's Sup Forums so it's full of manchildren

...

Mr. Jones, don't you have some vitamin supplements to be shilling?

Sadness and Fear.
Anger won't shut up about how he got saddled working in a loser. Disgust tries to steer me away from mirrors.
Joy occasionally chimes in but is made to feel a fool whenever they try to do anything.

Sadness and anger. Coming up with islands would require far more introspection than I am willing to partake in for a Sup Forums thread.

The media is responsible for everything.
It's all just propaganda.

Out of those five? I want to give it to Disgust, but I'm not sure since I like things that disgust me. I love HR Giger, for example, and Horihone Saizou is one of my favorite moon artists, and I actively seek out disgusting new things to try. Does it still count as digust if you're not, well, disgusted by it?

>It's all just propaganda.
We've all got a platypus controlling us. I hear you man.

disgust, she is bent on trying to make me a better artist with fear as second in command telling me to get a real job so i dont starve

I would say not, since while you can see other people would find it disgusting, you personally don't. Otherwise you wouldn't like it.

Now this could be a very interesting discussion. Part of what makes me like it is that I fully recognize how disgusting it is. GIger especially, the way he takes sex - the purest expression of love - and perverts it into these disgusting monsters and horrible nightmares is what I like about him. Without the disgust aspect, I wouldn't enjoy him at all. Would you call it Joy then, since these things make me happy?

I think that describes most of us.

I'm not sure Giger is doing any twisting, but I think maybe we all just have a different idea of sex and sexuality. I don't really see sex that way or his art as a corruption of something pure, I think sex is a primal urge and instinct and don't really see them as disgusting or disturbing, just an expression of very raw, deep-seated desires.

So the emotion that exists but is missing from the film is probably lust, who wasn't included for obvious reasons. Unless what happens in puberty is that Joy and Anger fuck and create Lust.

Who are the emotions' emotions?

>there's no platypus controlling me!

Fear is currently in the driving in the front seat, believing that I'm dying from some rare disease and all the other emotions are currently trying to get him off the seat, Sadness and Anger seem to the closest.

Poop

...

...

...

I'd agree that lust plays a huge part, but it's definitely not /just/ lust. There's no lust in my love of Frankenstein's Army or Lovecraft's works, for example. Frankenstein's Army is a very good example since my favorite part is seeing the pieced together monstrosities and seeing how they function and act and kill.

For that matter, if you enjoy spooky things, would that make you primarily joy or fear? Like Courtney Crumrin or Nightmare Before Christmas or even Ruby Gloom.

...

Sadness is in charge, and everyone knows it. Most of the time she lets Joy and Fear take turns fighting over who gets to be copilot. Of course sometimes she wants Fear to bend her over and fuck her on the console for a week, and once in a while she wants a full on orgy where she gets plowed by everyone except Joy, who watches and quietly masturbates. That's most of the action Anger and Disgust really get, unless something's going on in the world that they want to pay attention to.

That Disgust was an attractive mood. There, I said it.

t. Pajeet

Do you enjoy the feeling of fear? Then it's the two of them working together. Do you just enjoy the aesthetic but not feel any fear towards said spooky things? Then it's just Joy. Fear probably stepped away at some point, Joy tried to do his job for him, and now you're stuck with the results.

She was supposed to be ugly judging by the earliest concept art sketches of her available.

Honestly, I would guess that Joy and Disgust are the main pilots. My joy of vidya and spending time in the Internet and with family, with disgust over working on something. Constant delaying and forgetting. Fear for repercussions occasionally makes Disgust back off to complete the work, sometimes near the deadlines and well into the night.
Sadness and Anger feature less, but are still a considerate part. Part of berating myself for lying, not doing shit, and generally being a dick. All in all, a pretty tight-knit set. The HQ itself is... All the rooms I had in my life, put together, with beds, closets and computers all around. Also quite prominent are toy cats and Bionicle parts thrown around.

The Island of Family is fairly big, considering relations with my parents and grandparents and other relatives. A bit like pizza, with each slice representing a family member. All in all, fairly developed.

Island of Friendship is almost fully filled with PC's. A small corner of it is green and barren of technology, because barely zero friends IRL, and many in the Internet. Quite gloomy, considering my introvert personality.

Imagination is filled with games, drawings, toys and porn alike. Chaotic, with flavors-of-the-month interests appearing and disappearing.

Island of Learning is just a giant phone screen, with scrolling texts and images. Russian and English mixed in the fray.

And finally, Island of Regret. TVs playing out events where I went wrong and playing out how it could have gone, for the better way. The biggest one, bigger than the others combined.

Ah, and it is always snowing. Indoors and outdoors.

>how WOULD you describe Disgust or Fear or Sadness being the primary emotion without resorting to depression memes?
Mom in the movie had Sadness at the wheel because of apathy and Dad had anger at the wheel because of dominance. Mom wasn't a depressed alcoholic and Dad wasn't a wife-beater.

If you have Fear at the helm, it could be that you're afraid to challenge yourself, you hold yourself back, you don't believe in yourself to go outside the box so you stick to status quo, you cave into peer pressure easily, etc.

Disgust could just be that you're picky and judgemental. It's whatever a huge contrarian would have at the helm.

Very nice, user.

Fear, lust, vanity, envy, and love.

according to the internet, I'm driven by a little white hitler called "Privilege"

you're being infinitely more annoying than anyone you're trying to make fun of, and that's making you and only you look bad.

Ah, yes, I forgot one thing. Island of Learning features cities in different countries where I have been as islands, slowly drifting above the phone and around it.
