You play animal crossing because you yearn to be a part of the ruling class. And you smoke cigarettes cause you wanna suck cock. And you have a frightful nature because your mother saw a dreadful specter when you were in the womb.

“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em

“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

I am utterly compelled. beguiled, even, by Daniil’s Horace quotation in Patho Classic: “ira furor brevis est,” or “anger is a brief madness” (Epistulae 1.2.62). The phrase feels like a more subtle precursor to Daniil’s Seneca allusion in P2: “Imperare sibi maximum imperium est” or “to rule oneself is the highest power” (Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 113.31.1). That is, both phrases advocate self-control; Seneca’s is obvious, though Horace’s requires context from the full phrase and letter proper, in which he advocates self-control through wisdom (sapienta). The entire sentence is: “ira furor brevis est: animum rege, qui nisi paret, imperat; hunc frenis, hunc tu conpesce catena,” or ((very roughly)) “anger is a brief madness: rule [your] spirit, which if not submitting, rules; you, restrain this with reins, this with a chain.” The juxtaposition between anger and madness particularly interests me, according to how these crop up in Daniil’s character. And yeah I *am* probably looking into this too much but umm. That is literally what I do let us proceed.

Daniil appears emotional, highly reactive, and potentially prone to anger; particularly given his reaction to Simon’s death and Aglaya’s supposed betrayal. Now as this concerns Horace’s quote, Daniil’s one concretely self-professed fear is madness: “Madness is frightening… It’s the only thing I’m truly afraid of.” This appears inexorable from his guiding rationality: “And I, a champion of reason, fear madness over anything else!” So. Most curious why the devs chose to have Daniil say this. His P2 characterization and general internal locus-of-control suggest that he would strive for self-control, yet the quote still feels almost ironic considering his general behavior. Especially since he says this to Saburov on Day 6 during his literal witch hunt, but Daniil’s Day 12 decision ostensibly hinges on his rage at Aglaya’s “”betrayal”””. It’s as though Daniil thinks his rationality and accordingly logical justice place him above madness, but he succumbs to his own form through his tendency to act on anger.
