What do you think you're trying to understand about your story?

Dimension 20: Neverafter — Episode 9, “Origins”

telumendils

#the allegory to Black boyhood Lou brought to this character is simply unmatched by any other adaptation of pinocchio. it's That Good.

[Image ID: 3 gifs of Lou from Dimension 20. Lou is a dark skinned man with dreadlocks. he has black hair, gradually turning brown towards the tips of the dreads. he also has a goatee, and is wearing a white shirt with a silver chain. Lou is talking animatedly, and gesturing with his hands as he speaks. in the first gif, the caption reads: "I think Pinocchio wants to know why his life has been so hard. Why it needed to be this hard. Why everything has always been as hard as it was. Why nothing has ever worked out." the second gif continues from the first, the caption reading: "Why do other children get to lie and steal and still live good lives? And why does anytime I choose to do those things, I get hung, or my feet get burned, or my father gets eaten?" the third gif continues: "It's like every time I fail or have a misstep, I suffer the ultimate consequences, and that doesn't happen to other kids, and I want to know why. What was the goal? Why did I have to suffer?" /.End ID]

i don't even particularly like genre romance, but it's always so weird to see people (usually, though not always, men) going 'you know REAL LIFE men don't act like the men in romance novels, right???' as if it's a gotcha.

like, yeah. obviously. real life women don't act like the women in romance novels either. it's a genre with extremely stylized and predictable character beats that exist to serve the romantic arc rather than to deeply explore or accurately reproduce human behavior. this complaint makes about as much sense as superciliously sneering that small english towns don't ACTUALLY have a murder every other week for the local eccentric to investigate.

it's soooo telling because like on one hand: yeah, we know. we all know. you acting as if we don't know says more about your attitude than ours. and on the other hand: maybe the fact that for over a century women (and it is mostly women, still) have been getting together to imagine "what kind of man would I like to marry" and the resulting archetype is, most notably, more supportive, more caring, and better in bed than the men who complain about romance novels being unrealistic... maybe that should make you realise some stuff, idk. about either yourself as a person or patriarchy as a societal structure, whichever

You've gotta have good biodiversity in your reasons for not killing yourself. Rotate them out like crops when the yield gets low and the soil poor. We're mixing our metaphors. Whatever helps it stick.

You like warm blankets. You like the sound of birdsong. You have a pet that needs taking care of. You have someone to outlive. You have a loved one. You think death would be boring. It's coming for you anyway. Death is patient. When was the last time you had cake? Your favourite musician is going on tour. Or maybe just a halfway decent band at your local bar. You've never seen an elephant. Isn't it amazing that the sky is blue? Aging is a gift not afforded to most. Don't let the bastard grind you down. You can't mend any suffering in the world with your death. You want to see if you can grow herbs on your windowsill. Killing yourself seems like so much effort. What does tiramisu taste like? You're trying to be curious. You're angry and spiteful. What you want more than to die is to rest. This sandwich is so good you don't want to die. Not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody, anybody who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. A stranger on the internet is holding their hand out and asking.

You haven't finished that book. It's almost strawberry season. There's a chrysalis on the porch that should open soon. There are pastries you've never tried. It's going to be sunny tomorrow. You're going to look very distinguished with gray hair. You have to outlive him. There aren't any easy ways to die. Your package is supposed to arrive on Friday. There are people who will love you that you haven't met yet.
