me as verso's defense lawyer: and what, your honor, is the charge against my client? manipulate, mansplain, malewife-ing too close to the sun?? well, your honor, my client did all that shit. after much deliberation, we, as his defense counsel, are strongly suggesting the death penalty.

(I turn and take a furtive look at verso. he gives me a thumbs up and nods encouragingly.)

i would love to make a post connecting the bear, expedition 33, and severance as a cultural trend of shows focusing on grief but specifically the avoidance of grief and the difficult work of healing from it in favor of alternate worlds and work and creation, however, my fear is that it actually is NOT a broader trend and is more indicative of the media i, personally, am choosing to consume

#area woman thinks she can make an impressive observation but actually is just saying something about herself and state of mind #does the Pitt fit in this? Unclear have not watched it #but does seem to be grief and avoidance adjacent #Could also draw a larger stroke between the aftermath of Covid isolation #when death dying and grieving all became isolated issues and escapism became a worldwide coping mechanism #people meeting in roblox and animal crossing and zoom funerals. people severing their consciousness and painting fake better lives #but the point is that the pain finds them anyway #Does this make sense to anyone but me #The bear #severance #clair obscur: expedition 33

Sometimes you have to function in society while your head is full of The Characters.

It's about grief. It's about letting go. It's about fighting on. It's about family. It's about the existential horror of mimes.

It's about escapism. It's about surviving despite it all. It's about the wonder of the world even in darkness. It's about mimes beating the shit out of you.

It's about love. It's about heartbreak. It's about who the fuck put all those mimes here

#worth it for the silly outfits but god at what cost
