once i had a dream where i was walking through a forest where the soil was black as obsidian and all the trees were bare-branched and had pure white bark. i found the mutilated but still-living body of a white stag whose antlers were covered in candles and there were three wolves of pure black with white eyes who turn to me and said in unison and the same voice “is it evil of me to do what i must to survive?”
so I drew it
"the fun scale", being summarized very oddly by AI, is specifically a metric for retrospective analysis. like, categorizing the nature of anecdotes i guess, and (kind of arbitrarily) deciding on the "types of fun".
the story is specifically used by outdoorsy-types and most examples given in any resources i could find on it were exclusively hobbyist. blog posts spreading it around and lots of facebook images. i searched a few academic databases and couldn't find anything related to what this is image actually about (though there was an interesting and completely unrelated "fun scale" study that i enjoyed skimming the preview of) so know that this is a fast and loose scale and not one based in any kind of research.
in the spirit of this "Fun" they keep talking about, i'll explain the "fun scale" while adapting it to be understood outside of the lens of extreme outdoors activities.
it's like this. there's three common types of "fun stories" that people tend to tell:
type 1 is fun in the moment and fun in retrospect, like playing a game or decorating a cake or petting your dog. very straightforward.
type 2 is not fun in the moment, but something you recollect as a good memory. stuff like climbing a mountain or studying something complex or staying up all night to get a project you're very proud of done on time.
type 3 is not fun in the moment, and not fun to recollect, but fun in its novelty. the kind of shit that makes you say "well at least this will be a fun story to tell". breaking down on the side of the road in the desert during a road trip, getting lost in the woods for a few hours on a hike, a particularly dramatic fight with ex. this one is kinda complex, in that you need to put a few layers between yourself and the actual memory to enjoy it.
i imagine the AI fucked up the description of type 3 because it has the slightest degree of logical nuance to it and, because AI cannot think, it interpreted this end of the scale as "bad and dramatic things".
Type 3 fun is convincing God to buy two avocados for ten bucks.

We forgot about it
I once signed up to participate in a study on how depression affects memory, forgot I was meant to go do it, and when I emailed to apologise to the PhD student running it she basically told me that a) she was very used to this happening and b) the weird irony of her theories’ correctness making it very difficult to arrange proving them had by now gone from infuriating to hysterical
I went to the Grand Canyon when I was depressed and I literally forgot the whole thing. Like, the only reason I even know I was there is that I have photographs of myself standing in front of the Grand Canyon with dead eyes but i have absolutely no memory of it
People talk about depression like it’s just being sad all the time but straight up your brain stops working and sadness is just one of the many, many consequences of that
