Added 2024-12-01 21:58:59 +0000 UTCHere have some comfort...or maybe some hurt? heh
This whole situation impacted cyno. The usual sharp general lost his senses. Now what happens next?

2025-04-01 16:10:00 +0000 UTCWoah that‘s so interesting to read I didn‘t stumbled upon this. So it might be closer to real life that tighnari experiences this anxiety and sadness.

2024-12-14 10:57:02 +0000 UTCOh I just figured that he was reading, that tracks way more with what I read about pta. I actually found a study concerning retaining emotion without retaining memory of what caused the emotions themselves in cases of amnesic patients, don’t know if you also stumbled upon it, here are some cool excerpts. (Although this would mean he has hippocampal damage (which is still reversible) instead of the psychogenic amnesia I suspected earlier): “ The results clearly show that the amnesic patients remained sad even though they had little to no memory for the film clips. In fact, when compared with the normal comparison participants (whose memory for the film clips was intact), the patients’ sadness and affect change persisted at a higher level of intensity and for a longer period of time (Figs. 3 B and C). Moreover, this effect was robust, occurring in all of the amnesic patients - Notably, every single amnesic patient reported experiencing increased levels of sadness that persisted even in the context of severely impaired declarative memory for the sad film clips. - It is quite remarkable to imagine that someone can completely forget about the triggering event and still experience an intense state of emotion. Yet, the results of this study reveal that amnesic patients with damage circumscribed to their hippocampus are capable of experiencing emotions well after their memories for the emotion-inducing events have faded away. - Several of the amnesic patients, despite their impoverished memory for the film clips, showed a slow decay of sadness, sometimes even slower than the normal comparison participants. In fact, some of the patients were still experiencing high levels of sadness and negative affect during a time when all such emotion had dissipated in the comparisons. - She claimed that in everyday life, she frequently experiences different emotions and has no idea of what caused them. Without a clear understanding of the emotion's source, Am2 reports feeling compelled to search for a cause. Interestingly, she claims to only feel this urge while experiencing negative emotions, not positive ones. In her words, “It's not so much with the happy or the good feelings. You just kind of accept them. You don't worry about why. It's more for what I would call negative feelings… like when I'm feeling really sad, then I have to find out why. [Experimenter: “And do these sorts of feelings stay even though you don't know why?”] Yeah… and they don't go away.” Thus, one potential explanation for the sluggish decay of sadness evident in some of the amnesic patients is that without a clear understanding of why they are feeling sad, the emotion persists (32). - The results of our study further complicate the debate by highlighting the possibility that erasing negative memories may have the paradoxical effect of actually prolonging (rather than alleviating) feelings of distress. “ Link to study: Sustained experience of emotion after loss of memory in patients with amnesia - PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2867870/ Actually, when reading for the first time when i got to the “who are you?” Part i put my phone in my pocket and walked away, but I’m glad you took it there. It’s always interesting to read about what could have been when it comes to stories or movies like this.

2024-12-11 07:31:42 +0000 UTCOh that's a good response you put a lot of research into it!! Let me tell you some of my thought process. In my original draft he didn't have amnesia and the story was much shorter. But in my style of writing, sometimes the characters change the storyline. But actually maybe I wanted to incorporate it without knowing because you can see some hints about memory loss in the first few parts. But ofc I did some research too. I'm not a medical and like you said it's fictional so of it differs from real life cases. Tighnari has PTA (post traumatic amnesia). PTA is caused from traumatic brain injury and can be triggered even from just concussion. He got a hit to the head as we could see in some panels. Tighnari has no memories of people, his brain doesn't remember but his body does (it might differ from real life here). He wants to be close to cyno, but doesn't know why. He is confused and believes Cyno is always leaving him. Having no memories keeps Tighnari in a state of anxiety and easily agitated. Not being able to walk atm might influence it too. Tighnari keeps 'reading' his diary, but you can see he is just looking at the pictures. Kaveh later reads some stories for him. So he's either not able to read or it causes him headaches. PTA memorie loss can take a short to long time, but tighnari slowly starts to remember the day he lost his memories. Ofc I won't spoiler if he ever remembers completely! There are a lot of subtle details some can pick up in the story line, but I also leave stuff up for own interpretation. Thank you for that comment that was really interesting to read!!

2024-12-10 21:16:07 +0000 UTCok i just read the whole wiki page for post traumatic amnesia and put together a guestimate of a timeline. i am now legally licensed and ready to diagnose everyone i see. basically cases like tighnaris are rare and in the whole wiki page i could find one case concerning a ww1 soldier experiencing shellshock who couldnt remember anything except being found on the outskirts of a village (where he was resting post injury), which lines up almost exactly with tighnaris case(with the getting carried flashback), however an overwhelming majority of cases necessitate loss of memory post injury in addition to loss of recent(couple weeks/months/years) memory pre injury and difficulty of attaining new information, while being erratic and asking lots of questions, but tighnaris not like that. basically it is deemed pta until memories return but it is also known that during pta patients are confused, dazed, senses dulled. tighnari recognizes from quite a distance that cynos eyes are red and concludes he was crying. this tells us that his eyesight is good and that he's mentally sharp. all of this is to say i have no idea and that they should put him in an MRI. also going off the total pta being 4x longer than unconsciousness guideline he should have at most?? 16 more days before memory recovery although this is a severe case and could be way more than that, we dont really know what happened or what light emitting biblically accurate angel he was running away from. plus visions and weird memory magic exist in this world so literally anything could happen. all signs point to no brain damage though as far as i can tell(which is crazy cause a normal human being would absolutely be half vegetable at this point hes made of steel(wait i just realized hes a mythical species and not directly human so to apply human research to him might be incorrect but ill let it go cause hes 99% there)). author dont spoil but did i perfectly read your exact mind perfectly awesomely dopesomeley or what come on guys i just solved the whole thing wheres the applause- 👏👏ohh 👏there it is thank you everyone youre welcome👏🧍♂️👏👏👏👏👏🧍♂️(roaring applause and two guys standing)
