basically a lot of my problems boil down to me being really bad at waking up. and also really bad at going to sleep
honestly though this ties into a bigger thought i've been gnawing on lately that the more and more the entertainment industry gets entwined with capitalism the worse stories are gonna get because there is no purely consumable and agreed upon conflict and hero/antagonist dynamic
what i mean by this is like. stories are told in a way that helps children (and people in general) form opinions and a moral compass with which they navigate the world. who the villains are in these stories will effect who those children become and, who the villains are often reflects the perspective of the storyteller/who has persecuted them personally.
while individual people do write the stories studios produce, and teams of people working on one story can typically agree on who to make their antagonists, capitalism relies on ever-growing audiences and consumer bases in order to be considered 'successful'. a growing audience means eventually, you are going to reach people who do not agree with what your idea of 'evil' is.
additionally, the wealthy/minority group's oppressors are very often the villains in the stories they tell because those people specifically have antagonized the story teller's lives. but with media production, those in executive positions are very often wealthy, white, cishet men. so naturally, stories with those groups as the antagonists will not get greenlit, but it's becoming less socially acceptable via audience pressure to demonize the minority groups they antagonize instead, so you get progressively vague-er and watered down villains as time goes on.

I love when parents speak in code to avoid awakening their toddler like a sleeper agent.
I had a friend trying to tell me a story with his son in the room and after two attempts to avoid any words that his son might recognize my friend just said “do you speak Spanish?” and started inserting Spanish words instead

no i don’t have an “astigmatism” i can just see the halos of the angels that live in car head lights that you losers are too spiritually closed off to see
God I hate these fucking floating monoliths. They always go, like, 10mph below the speed limit and if you try to pass them they just fucking distort reality around them until you're back behind them again. One of them cut me off on the highway once and when I honked it banished me to a hoary netherworld where I wandered, lost and alone, for untold centuries, trapped in the liminal space between what could have been and what never was, black stars dotting the bright infinity yawning out around me as I drove out of thought and time, through endless ruined cities and blighted lands unmarked by the sun's cold rays, and when I finally got out I was more than 20m late for my dentist appointment and they had to reschedule me.
