You would really wish to live through the boredom beyond the heat death of the universe? An eternity of nothingness beyond your own senses depending on the type of immortality

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.

"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.

"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

#would you heal and at least have your senses even in the void of space #or would you just… not die #taking severe damage over the course of eternity and existing in a state of unending pain #or an immorality like that of the pirates in Curse of the Black Pearl #forever thirsty and hungry as food turns to ash in your mouth and no drink will ever sate a thirst like a dehydrated marathon runner in the #the sahara during summer #how well one fares is inevitably influenced by the exact nature of the immortality #is it a blessing that simply guards against illness harm and death #or a curse where the purpose is to be made to suffer so no matter what ways you tried to outwit the curse you would suffer regardless #is it immortality in the way regeneration can be for Time Lords? bc if so you are still cursed to infinite deaths and rebirths but still bu #burdened by decades/centuries/millenia of experience #both the joys and losses on the personal and inevitably social levels as people would begin to notice a wanderer who always moves about ev #every now and then #even if you lived forever out in the woods there would be tales of the mountain man who sometimes looks the same and sometimes looks differe #different #which ngl would be pretty cool but in an eternal lifetime all things can and will happen #so inevitably you’d run into people #and if after so long you look the same but humans evolve into different shapes… you could be a zoo exhibit! :D
