ultimately the truth about frankenstein is that we are all grotesque amalgamations of the best and worst parts of everyone who came before us. and sometimes the people who are supposed to love us because of and in spite of this will not. and we can kill them with hammers for that. and i think that’s beautiful

well i can’t argue with that one

Ah yes, Mary Shelley’s monster.

no mary shelley is the name of the monster not the doctor

Being an Adult is a Scam. In fact, it's at least six different scams all stacked under a trench coat.

"Being responsible" should mean like, sleeping enough and helping your neighbors. Not prioritizing the endless wealth of oligarchs

i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

amazing how much of adult life is calling people you don't want to be calling to deal with stuff you don't want to deal with

i wanna know what was going on at IYS back in pre-leverage days when nate was working there, because the 2 employees we get to know are james "hid in a trunk for five days" sterling and nathan "became a robin hood-esque mastermind thief" ford. is this just their standard employee - does the job ad ask for people who enjoy hijinks and have "become a trickster god" in their five year plan? or were all nate and sterling’s coworkers watching them in utter confusion? like HR is getting complaints about them, starting discussions with "look we have a problem with your whole homoerotic rivalry thing but it’s NOT because of the homoerotic part, okay? we decorate for pride month. and i don’t care about the ‘allusion to the high noon standoff trope of cowboy/western movies’, you can’t just be blocking off the hallways to have a dramatic conversation. you stacked chairs in front of the emergency exit door to keep the corridor clear. that’s a fire safety hazard."
