manthedog replied to your post: the fic’s been taken down now I think but y’all...

this makes sense!! the urge to fictionalize events of real, intense suffering, *while they’re fucking happening*, implies just… a profound inability to connect to the people involved. like the writer can only feel sad if they apply the circumstances to some character they’ve developed an attachment to, instead of. just. using empathy?? i don’t even know

YES!! that’s exactly it!!!

like they say they were upset and they did all these things to help the movement but then you go and write this?? for what??

and if I have to hear ‘they wrote it to cope’ I’ll throw up. like, oh, you need to cope...you need the coping mechanism right now. okay! sure!

Lace and roses for the ask meme <3

^ ^ thank u!!

lace: what is something in your life completely different from last year?

This is a sad answer because this time last year was so full of hope and joy for me. I’d just moved into my current apartment (my first real adult apartment!!), my relationship with Kail had reached a healthy point after months of difficulty, and I was on track to graduate at the end of the summer. Now I’m nearly 6 months postgrad still unemployed, single and brokenhearted. So many things are different, but the most glaring is the absence of feeling like I have a promising and hopeful future. 

roses: If it had to be winter, autumn, spring or summer for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

autumn!! (but the real answer is I love that the seasons change and couldn’t live in a world where the weather was the same all the time)

I’m bored pls be nosy

God I love the concept of someone going to see a movie with Thor in the title and then getting pissed off when he keeps showing up on screen

they all think loki is the secret protagonist like furiosa and it’s very funny

and like i think you’re right, too, about sort of glamorizing it. like… what need is there to advertise in the first place that they’re planning to march? lol? but even looking past that, writing a fic for like. their own attention. idk. idk. now i worry i’m not making sense either. maybe it is impossible to make sense when talking about something as absurd as a fanfic about a man’s recent and terrible murder.

no I’m with you!! like I’m fine that they said all that but like......them writing a thing like that makes their efforts moot because it’s so...LIKE WHEW THE WORDS ESCAPE ME.

it’s so difficult to find the words to properly explain how much shit like this throws me off like?? it really is so fucking absurd. find other ways to process my guy. log of for a minute. watch a movie. play a video game. literally anything but shit like this.
