The Angst God"

YOUR EMAIL FINDS ME ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE

i know there’s more than this out there but it really is incredible that people will look at a fictional character someone else wrote and collectively say “I will write you a hundred happy endings.”

I love watching literally any xmen movie because no matter how shitty my day is Scott Summers is always having a worse one

All good children's fiction says you are going to have to shoulder responsibility even if you don't want it.

And btw this isn't a punishment or a condemnation, it's a recognition that The Right Thing is a burden but you have to carry it anyway because it's Right.

This may sound grim, but “doing good is its own reward” is deeper than some realize. The reward of doing good is that GOOD EXISTS. When we accept the responsibility of doing good, a little more good enters the world (sometimes a lot) and a little more darkness is beaten back. Maybe by doing good you will save all of Archenland. Or maybe by doing good you will remind someone there is good in the world and refresh their dwindling hope. It may be hard, but is worth it.

Such is the nature of doing good, then.
