I think a surprising amount of writers don’t realize that tragedies are supposed to be cathartic. They’re intended to result in a purging of emotion, a luxurious cry; the sorrow caused by a great tragedy is akin to fear caused by a good horror movie – it’s a “safe” sorrow, one that is actually satisfying to the audience. It can still be beautiful! It’s isn’t supposed to just be salting the earth so nothing can grow.

But that’s how you get grimdark: writers who don’t realize that they’re supposed to be doing something with the audience instead of to the audience.

If that doesn't have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don't know what does.

today a light rain started and stopped during my walk and the raindrops falling on my skin made me feel more alive than i had in a long time. it's nighttime, the sky was only lightly cloudy and nobody was outside, so i think it only rained in a small area and i was the only person who noticed that it was raining at that moment. and i saw a leaf that was bigger than my hand from a plant i never knew could grow that big

and this is why life is beautiful

all that shell thakrit--or any other BL actor--owes me is fucking men nasty onscreen.

it really isn't my business who he fucks in his personal life or how he fucks them and i'm tired of finding these things out unnecessarily when no abuse/crime is being committed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after

there’s something about the sight of steps leading down into the water. it feels like the ocean telling me to come home

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

Ok am I, stupid or do a fair portion of the lyrics to Kiss From A Rose just not make any sense at all

You have to develop mechanisms for coexisting with people who are different from you no matter what. "Segregate the world until I only have to interact with people who are Just Like Me" is not workable. "Suppress the expression of difference so that everyone has to pretend they are Just Like Me" is sometimes workable, but this website is generally full of the kind of weirdos unlikely to benefit personally from such an arrangement.

The only possible answer is to develop mechanisms by which people can coexist.

And if you already have the mechanisms within your bubble, it is pretty sensible to say "hey, we could try to coexist with those people outside the current bubble too, using mechanisms such as these". This is good. It's always rocky, there's always a negotiation and adjustment process, but in general it's beneficial for all the same reasons that learning to coexist with the people already in your bubble was beneficial. That was also rocky, and also took an adjustment process, before they were part of your bubble.

You can't conquer the world and remake it in your image. Not "you shouldn't", you can't. You also shouldn't, but you can't. You have to bite the bullet and realize that a world in your image will not exist, but maybe you and the other guy can figure out a world you can both be ok with.
