Lakes and graveyards are very similar in that if you detonate a large explosion inside either one a lot of dead bodies come to the surface.

THIS!

"But you would experience infinite ennui as you outlive every form of stimuli and entertainment."

Skill issue. I know how to entertain myself, or at least find satisfaction.

"But you would burn forever once the sun goes supernova"

No, my nervous system wouldn't be able to experience pain if it was stuck in a state of constantly being disintegrated. I would for all intents and purposes be completely unconscious, which is exactly what I imagine dying is like, only with a lot more time to do what I want before that happens.

"Fine, then after that you would suffocate in a vacuum forever"

No, if my body were stuck in a perfect vacuum my brain would not be able to function or experience any pain due to total oxygen deprivation. Same issue as before.

"HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE!"

That's not how the heat death of the universe works.

Basically, every hypothetical "immortality would be hell on earth" scenario relies on manipulating the basic premise in some way so that you can somehow experience sensations beyond the physical. The feeling of burning in a supernova without a body. Being stuck in a vacuum and somehow always having just enough oxygen to be suffocating but never actually going unconscious. Running out of things to do on earth but somehow also getting enough memory storage and perfect recollection to not rediscover the joys of an old hobby every few millennia.

Hell, even in situations where you genuinely don't want to live and just want to escape, there would be tons of methods to literally shut off your brain and just go unconscious forever, which is basically death anyway.

Actually, now that I think of it, it all comes back to that fundamentally Christian worldview that living is a test and death is the ultimate reward. Because it presumes an afterlife that is better than just...being unconscious forever.

"Immortality would be terrible!!"

Only if both:

A) you didn't have any fellow immortals

and

B) you were completely uninterested in travel, history, languages, reading, writing, media in general, animal breeding, pursuing hedonistic luxuries, any hobby that you could name...

Personally, I think immortality would be awesome.

huge fan of the zootopia 2 teaser, you can literally close your eyes and imagine what you're looking at through sound design and music bc there's no dialogue, the flow is so succinct in building tension it completely pulled me in with barely saying anything abt the plot. movie might be ass but i loved this teaser

I hate to say this, and like, rain on everyone’s parade, but after scrolling past three posts about it on a writing tag …

If you are looking up synonyms to exchange words out in your story with the purpose of sounding smarter, more sophisticated, or complicated to your reader, you are probably abusing the thesaurus.

Now, if you *want* to do this, I mean, you can write whatever or however you want! But I just want you to know that this is frowned upon if you are trying to write at a professional level.

I have an old article on this somewhere …

If you want to look at the original article…

the tragedy of buffy to me in early seasons is that she’s convinced she’s not a normal girl dealing with normal girl things even though everything that happens to her is an extremely cogent metaphor for normal girl things, such as when you’re filled with thoughts of violence, or when your boyfriend starts acting like a different person after you have sex with him, or your mom grounds you for being irresponsible even though you ARE responsible it’s just that nobody understands what you’re going through, or when the entire world conspires to convince you that your sexual desires are inherently evil and you will be punished for having them. many of these things are normal girl experiences under the patriarchy but buffy doesn’t know that bc she’s in the literalization torture labyrinth
