scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~

scars in real life: so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife

the thing about the smiths is that i wish i knew less about morrissey because it discredits some of the lyrics. "it's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle and kind" is such a banger and true line but i don't trust it coming out of morrissey's mouth. like i don't believe that you believe that

How many things have to go wrong for something this ugly to be in existence ??

I wasn’t going to add anything at first but then I kept thinking about this. I’m Russian-American, and have lived in a few countries, and I have found that worldwide (yes, even in Eastern Europe proper) people generally tend to be very absolutist. When something is deemed “bad”, then nothing about it can be good, and trying to argue for a nuanced interpretation of a “bad” thing makes us “bad” by association.

That being said I hate, especially in ~the West~, having to qualify any expression of fondness towards the country of my childhood with “but of course X and X and X other things are bad”. Of course there are bad things- but why should any positive expression have a disclaimer ?

I was watching a video on YouTube and a guy dropped "oh yeah the devs are also from eastern europe so they have to deal with living in a country so depressing it was inspiration for video game dystopias" and I was like... you do know that eastern Europe is not a horrible unliveable pit of sorrows and that the people who live there aren't just fighting in the streets for breadcrumbs and to survive, people just LIVE there, but then I remembered. The mind of an american cannot comprehend outside world and people who speak other language as anything else than unwashed savages

sometimes you can be obsessed with a piece of media to a degree when you feel physically ill without consuming anything related to it
