It burns my biscuits whenever I hear someone say that a person or group "doesn't contribute to society." Society is comprised of people. Those people are society. Society exists for and because of the people in it. It's like when I'm bicycling in the city and some schmuck leans out the window of his lifted pickup and yells at me for "blocking traffic." Bitch, I am traffic.

I think what they usually mean is more aimed at people (rare people) who stay at home all day doing nothing (like people who live in their moms basement for no good reason except they're lazy mooching off their parent type vibe). Those people /are/ doing nothing for society technically. They aren't contributing to the place, they just exist.

But they often will say it aimed at those who work in fast food, delivery, etc. and that isnt fair at all. People in those jobs are important building blocks to making this place run. So it isn’t fair to say it about them.

And yes, they are in society, but they may or may not be contributing. Contributing means working. If theres no delivery drivers, no fast food workers, no businesses, no trash collectors, society as we know it starts to fall apart real fast.

[draconym]

I'm actually including """"lazy moochers"""" who sit in their mom's basement all day. My beef is that trying to measure if someone is "contributing" to society is pointless. As long as there has been money, there have been people who don't make money and people who wring their hands and whine about whether the people who aren't making money deserve to live or not.

I brought up bicycles because a lot of people appear to think that the driver of the largest and fastest vehicle has a divine mandate to punish the drivers of smaller, slower vehicles by running them off the road. Sometimes when you are driving you must yield to bicyclists and pedestrians, even if it prevents you from driving your vehicle as fast as it can possibly go. Sometimes when you live among other human beings you must account for people who "just exist" because the alternative to accepting them is running them over. I don't care if they're lazy.

Something I love about confronting Cazador is how he obviously never processes that Astarion has friends until it's too late.

Petras and Dalyria must have mentioned that Astarion wasn't alone when they met him, but when you read Cazador's journal? He's 100% fixated on Astarion. How Astarion stood in the sun, how Astarion was willing and able to disobey him. And when Astarion shows up, Cazador barely acknowledges the party at all - and sure, that's partly because this is Astarion's moment in the narrative, but Cazador doesn't so much as ask why these random strangers are there! They're not part of his plans, so they don't exist.

And then they immediately save his errant spawn from the ritual and start beating his ass.

Just. What must have been going through Cazador's head when that fight starting turning against him? 'Is that... the Blade of Frontiers? Why is a monster hunter - and is that a cleric? - helping a vampire spawn? An undead? Ah, but they must be treating it as a necessary evil to have a chance to slay me, of course - hold on, why is the cleric healing Astarion? Why does that wizard keep Counterspelling everything I'm casting at Astarion, why waste the spells when I'm not even targeting him? Did... did that druid just cast Daylight on Astarion's weapons? And that brute of a tiefling - that's not just disgust in her eye when she looks at me, it's fury - and she keeps putting herself in front of Astarion, why in the hells would she - she's running right at me- '

I hope that one of the last things Cazador ever knew was the choking realisation that Astarion didn't just come back strong, or free. Astarion came back loved.

"Astarion came back loved." Ugh I just cant.
