the thing about having hope is that it is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so difficult. but you have to do it anyway

quasi-normalcy

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

quasi-normalcy

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

quasi-normalcy

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

in the face of an apocalypse, you do what you have to do.

lysimachias

Not "The Character did nothing wrong" or "The Character is irredeemably awful" but a secret third thing: The Character may display moments of deep love & compassion, may even have a strong sense of ethics, and may also be capable of brutal cruelty that is irreconcilable with those traits. The constant tension between the different sides of The Character's nature is exactly what makes them compelling, and attempting to reduce them down to simply "a terrible person" or "innocent & misunderstood" is missing the point of the questions a media with nuanced characters is asking you to consider

a lot has been said on the topic of "grace hiding that he was forced onto the hail mary so rocky doesn't think he's a coward" but i'd love for us to spend a moment meditating on grace hiding it so rocky doesn't think he's a bad person

your-own-scifi-nerd

you ever think that Grace acted brave because he was under the assumption that he was? because until he regained the memory that he begged not to be forced on the mission he assumed he chose to be brave and go on the mission despite the dangers and the near hundred percent chance he would die in space. So he assumed he was brave so he made brave choices and decisions. Yet the bravest choice he made was after he realized he was a coward.

#this isnt think this is canon and it KILLS ME #HE WAS BRAVEST AFTER HE REALISED HE WASNT #ohhhh ryland grace you are SO #phm

listen to sexworkers but only the ones filming anonymously from the comfort of their bedrooms and never the ones who are trafficked or groomed and are forced to do scenes that they don’t want to with people they don’t want to at the risk of their livelihood or even life because those stories bum me outttt and therefore don’t count despite making up the majority of cases.
