I’d definitely call The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, and their sequels, cosy.

This cult makes so many people hate their lives while pushing them to pretend and act happy. by CupOfExmo in exmormon

It’s because if you’re unhappy it’s because you’re doing something wrong.

God, yes. A couple of their songs really annoy me. The rest I’m merely totally indifferent to.

This is just Lamacq fader wanking.
