very funny realizing now, age 28, that im a tragedy enjoyer and suddenly remembering myself, age 10, reading my silly little fantasy novels and thinking 'ok but what if they DIED and SUFFERED forEVER'. like oh ok i see. ive always been like this actually.

#when i love something my instinct is to tear it to shreds #i dont think i even knew what tragedies are back then. instinctively i knew they must suffer for compelling literature.#very interesting because i think. the two books i read that were FOUNDATIONAL to my self and identity and writing #were both rather tragic. no one died on the page but no one got their happy ending.#in one the man traded his life for the woman and in the other the protag saved the world but lost absolutely fucking everything #and the first thing i ever wrote was a rather gruesome tragedy (vamp story circa 7th-8th grade age 12)#and now im reinventing human suffering thorough margo who has a real passion for twisting that dull and rusty knife in her own chest #a day in the life of steeve
