(gripping the skink with both hands, pale and feverish, sweating and shaking as I look at myself in the mirror) “killing a character is a valid writing choice that can be a crucial plot mechanic and lend beauty and depth to the story as a whole” (wretches up blood into the sink) “even when it’s my favorite character”
no matter how terrible my day is. i can always end my day in bed imagining fictional characters making out sloppy style and fucking raw. and that's beautiful. there's some good in this world mister frodo and it's worth fighting for
you ever think about how Dante is actually pretty good at drawing
I just noticed that if you find out the real meaning of Tequila Sunset while on a date with Lilienne and decide to reintroduce yourself as Harry (Disco Elysium spoilers incoming)…
She will call you Harry after the tribunal.
That is such a change from Idiot Doom Spiral, who expressly refuses to call us by our real name, even after we formally introduce ourselves.
In a way, then, I think Lilienne is our hope that we'll get better. A hope for a better future. Idiot Doom Spiral meanwhile, is the representation of what we were. What we can remain. What we can become, if we aren't careful.
And we can choose. We can tell people who we are. Harry, or Tequila Sunset, or we’re not really sure.
So though I must object to much of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy's ideas, I have to agree with this:
Names can change the reading of a person.
They can change a person.
They can change us. Whether we try to reverse time, or end it, or push forward, despite everything.
Because remember: Our name means something.
It was meant to keep us safe.
Today I met happiness
Yeah I have trauma about it but unfortunately it's a really stupid thing to have trauma about. Yeah honestly if it had happened in a different way at a different time it would have been completely fine and normal. Yeah man like it was just a total confluence of circumstance and now my brain has an allergy against it. Yeah like a peanut allergy but stupider.
never kill yourself tomorrow you might see a dog
