just bc im an absurdist doesnt make me a clown

if you have a very strong/powerful character and you DON'T muzzle and chain them and beat it into them that they're only good as a blunt instrument of violence and use their completely natural reactions to this mistreatment as 'proof' that they're innately dangerous and the mistreatment is necessary + justified then what's even the point tbh

Wait hold up this is awesome. So not because I'm ugly?

i like how transhumanist amazing digital circus is. like you're a program that has been abstracted and deformed from a brain scan of a real person, you inherit their memories but you're ultimately a piece of code. and the show firmly says "i am still a human with a human life, i'm different from the person i was made from but i still live a life worth living" and i think that's neat. everything about it feels kind of like an inverse matrix

matrix "what if everything mundane around you was fake and reality requires you to be an action hero to save everyone" and digital circus goes "all the crazy stuff is real but the true human desire is to do pretty mundane stuff with friends in spite of crazy circumstances"

i like it when people compliment me. i like it... when people like me. (looks around to make sure nobody is about to shoot me)

i was Thinking but i got up to get coffee and i came back to discover that one of my cats walked across my keyboard and posted this early for me and you know what. they summed it up far more succinctly than i ever could

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

YOUR LIFE WILL GET 10X BETTER IF YOU LISTEN TO JAZZ MUSIC

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it
