[Legacy. Passing on something precious to the man you love, the man you’re desperate to trust.] I got emotional equipping Anders with the Malcolm’s Honor staff during the legacy dlc while he’s near-constantly having a breakdown over the level of control he has over his own mind. It’s like trying to ground him. Like saying, “Look, love. You’ve already been carrying the torch my father passed on. His, mine, yours, ours.” (Like giving yourself something to look back on, so you can tell yourself: I really tried.)

danny boyle is a legitimate fucking madman because hiring jack o'connell to play a character based on the beast that is jimmy savile is gonna result in lots of unsuspecting folks writing explicit jimmy x reader fic. that's fucking WILDDDDDD. i'll be looking at em like

#28 years later #28 years later spoilers #I've already seen fics about Jimmy #It's so weird #Maybe the writers are just too young or to American to understand they're writing about a character based on the world's worst pedophile?#Idk

you can make fun of old people all you want but then you'll be knitting with a good album on and a cup of tea and you'll be like this is excellent actually. the old ladies were right about this one. about the crosswords too, by the way

it’s completely acceptable to stay alive for tiny reasons. because you want to hear your favorite song one more time. because your dog will miss you if you leave. because the moon is just too pretty to never see again. because you haven’t seen the next season of a really good tv show. because you want to see the christmas lights this year. if you’re alive, you’re doing enough. if you’re surviving, i’m proud of you.

Any reason that keeps you alive is a good reason.

I think a surprising amount of writers don’t realize that tragedies are supposed to be cathartic. They’re intended to result in a purging of emotion, a luxurious cry; the sorrow caused by a great tragedy is akin to fear caused by a good horror movie – it’s a “safe” sorrow, one that is actually satisfying to the audience. It can still be beautiful! It’s isn’t supposed to just be salting the earth so nothing can grow.

But that’s how you get grimdark: writers who don’t realize that they’re supposed to be doing something with the audience instead of to the audience.

#i once heard a lecture where someone said that the great appeal of tragedy is to see terrible things happen to people you’re supposed to#empathize with and see yourself in#and that the catharsis comes from seeing someone’s life go horribly wrong and still have the author hold your hand and tell you#‘this story mattered. even though it had a sad ending it still mattered. even if you don’t succeed your attempts matter’#grimdark tells you that the world sucks and nothing you do matters#well-written tragedy tells you that sometimes the world sucks but everything you do matters so so much#your story is still worth telling even if you never achieve that happy ending#or if you lose it along the way#people have inherent value and their stories deserve to be told no matter if they turn out okay or not#and in a reality that has no concept of ‘fair’ that shit just hits good man!!! feels good!!!!! it’s COMFORTING

This has really helped me realize something about myself.

So often I find myself saying “I don’t like tragedy.” When that’s not really true.

It would be truer to say “I love tragedy when it’s done well, but I don’t like what tragedy has become, but it is so tiring and unpleasant to sift through the graceless grimdark that it simply becomes easier and more productive to say I would not like any.”
