El tulipán marchito

My love letter to the queer silver lining of 2020

A lot of revolutionary, unprecedented things happened in 2020 — that... goes without saying

But among all the chaos, one thing I can be grateful for was the surge of queer representation in western animation

I feel lucky to be alive in this time of change, and I’m also excited for the younger generation who gets to grow up with these explicitly queer shows

It gives me hope that this kind of representation will make it easier for them to figure things out :’)

This is without a doubt my fav moment of this chapter. I love the message it’s presenting.

The reason and meaning of life, is to just enjoy even the most simplest, fleeting and happy moments that living has to offer.

Even the most mundane, trivial activity can be proof of how worth it it is so be alive, and to find enjoyment in those small moments and to relish those precious memories that come with it.

Having Armin juxtapose Zeke’s stance on life just being an existence to pro create, and having him show Zeke how even he had small moments in his life that proved how precious living can be, was just beautiful.

Life is more than just finding a purpose, or trying to justify it with some kind reason as to why we are alive in the first place

Life is beautiful because of the moments, no matter how big or small, that show you how amazing and worthwhile living can be. No matter the hardships or struggles, as long as you have these moments that are precious to you, it’s proof that life is worth living.

Justo así...
