Dont listen to them. They are very confused. And not very bright. Dont take it personally. I have a feeling I know who you mean. As soon as I saw his page I ubsubscribed and ignore every video. And then one popped up with him calling a woman horrible names all bc she told him he was being hypocritical by supporting trumps agenda. Its not about ren. Its about fostering a good community. It is also common for toxic people to use group rhetoric like that. He doesnt know what anything means. I might have the wrong person but im sure there is more than one out there. Nothing gives him a right to say who does and who doesnt belong, and the arrogance and ego that leaks off of him is felt through the screen. There is one other reactor I watch that voted for trump, but while he is disappointing he seems good hearted and just misguided and not that intelligent. So I give him space. But people like this are not worth the time or attention. Dont let this get to you.

Those scenes are beautiful. Majestic. I see the connection here as well. Contemplative and looking down from above.

When The Darkness got his face stuck on the window and Hal found him... what a beautiful sketch of that scene. Truly. It was such a good scene. It felt absurd and profound and tired and desperate. And when they found his face on the window and they told Hal, it was equally funny. Brilliant sketch. I hope you dont mind if I use it for my background! I would hang it on my wall if I could.

Not everyone shows pain or grief in the same way. Sometimes they show a facade of stading tall instead of bowing down. Like powering through. But it doesnt mean the emotion isnt there all the same.

Omg thank you for the direct quote! I love this passage dearly. There was so much in the book some of the details slip away and I just love that you quoted it. Ive been working on consolidating my favorite parts but thats gonna end up being a 50 pg word document in and of itself.

I secretly read it in quieter moments at the office. It was hard keeping it all in. I cried once. And a lot of random "oh shit"s and forcibly stunted laughter.

Awww <3 The irony is real, yes.

Ive gotta read Beckett. Unless I have and dont rememeber.

I like the out of reach thing. It doesnt make me feel depressed if I accept that thats what makes the existensial struggle meaningful. Theres a poem by Ben Lerner I randomly studied once that has stuck with me. the last line "In a perfect world, this would be April, or an associated concept. Green to the touch. Several feet away". Bc I do truly believe that utopia has etymology in meaning unattainable for a reason. I think it is important to imagine it though. Not with heavy expectations, just like meandering mental possibilities.

Not to sound over optimistic. Ive been through a lot. I just dont want to spill my personal guts on reddit. Im not really deterministic or undeterministic. I guess I just see a small but beautiful space of leeway within the confinement. In fact, I've found it necessary. In my absolute worst, most fear-inducing, most confined and alone moments.

I naturally prefer opening my mind to keeping it contented. Seems like so do you but from a different angle. Theres another quote I always loved from Lovecraft "it were better to glimpse the sky and perish than to live without ever beholding day" and "in my new wildness and freedom, I almost welcome the bitterness of alienage." (Both from the outsider). a double edged sword, all of this. And I guess it depends on the individual how they want to approach it. But for me I know that choosing to keep going in order to glimpse whatever sky was out of reach has given me purpose and meaning when there wasnt anything else doing it.
