Do you have a specific body of water you would let kill you?

Pacific Ocean

Atlantic Ocean

Other ocean/sea (saltwater)

Specific lake you've been to

Specific lake you have NOT been to

Specific river you've been to

Specific river you've NOT been to

A little gal-pond/stream/creek etc.

Some other watery place

I don't have this kind of relationship with any body of water

This isn't about whether you think it's likely that you'll die in this body of water; it's about which body of water you would give the right to take you.

For example, for me it's Lake Michigan.

not watching severance and succession means i log on the day after an episode and everyone is like SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP THEYRE SO INSANE FOR THIS and the image cited is a man in a suit standing still in an otherwise blank, fluorescently-lit hallway. i'm happy for you guys or sorry that happened

The extensive dansk pepper mill collection the island with no less than 3 built in ovens and multiple homemade pies…I need to queen out with them

So we've been having a bit of a debate in the office because we wanted to do the headline "Local man gives up sugar for 12 minutes" but then overdoing the "local man" trope is a bit male-centric, so we considered "Local woman" but then that sounds like we're typecasting women so that wasn't great either, but I think we've finally found a worthy compromise:

homestuck does a LOT to make character death painful even though almost none of the deaths are permanent (and even the permanent ones are eeeeh because of the dreambubbles) but i think it mostly boils down to pulling away from the traditional idea that the tragedy of death comes from losing a loved one/a life being cut short, and towards a very compelling idea of death as personal trauma

 the dead aren’t lost, and they can continue pursuing their ambitions and growing as people, but the tragedy is that they died at all, that they had to experience that violence and come to terms with existing in the amorphous semi-stasis of ghosts- or just keep living, knowing that they died

it’s not a major thematic thing and it’s communicated almost exclusively through art direction but it’s a very juicy idea that i really really like 

[sew-birb]

You’re so right. Death in Homestuck is less about what the people who mourn you have lost, more about what the character loses by dying.

Loss of innocence (surely nothing can hurt me), loss of control (this isn’t how it was meant to go), and most cuttingly loss of relevance. The dead in the dreambubbles literally have no more role to play in the story.

But it’s also about acceptance. The dead learn and grow and have time to work on themselves. There’s something soft and sad about those who are dead but go on existing nonetheless.
