i earned my url by only ever rereading specific selected chapters from the first 3 books and pretending i didn't know they made a tv show of it and frankly people just need to respect that

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.
having a soft small pet is like, you are so vulnerable, you are biting me, I am responsible for your fragile life in almost every way, your knife hands are in my stomach, I love you more than anything, stop eating plastic you heathen, I cannot save you from the slow march of age or explain to you the divergence of our life spans which consumes me
diversity win! the unbound cryptarch purposefully crashing your country’s economy for personal political advancement is a lesbian!
sorry for thinking abt nothing but amc’s the terror for like 5 days now just. man. that show had fucking everything
literally just like. the bleak expanse of the polar ice. the profound importance of love even when it’s futile. hallucination. old scars physically falling apart and reopening. a grotesque carnival sort of situation. lots of raw meat consumption. dismemberment. stolen identity. the folly of colonialism. a gay guy who just would not stop killing people. people cutting their tongues out. a bunch of guys sitting at a long table silently eating another guy lying dead next to them. drinking a bunch of poison and then killing yourself to kill the people who are going to eat your body. a monkey. a guy setting himself on fire. killing a loved one (merciful, loving). killing a loved one (evil). that bear even had a human face
“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more
since this is on my dash again another two steps, a little harder this time
“who do i hurt when i do this?” and “could i look them in the eye, validate and acknowledge that hurt, and then keep doing it anyway?”
feels like a good day for another two.
“whose voice is missing from this story” and then “how do i seek out those voices/how does a story i think i know change when i add new perspectives”
