Because Fear Kills Everything

imagine going to your first rehearsal for a musical and the first words your characters say to each other are “come home with me” “who are you” “the man who’s gonna marry you” and your first duet is a song about a wedding and you get to fall in love doing a show about The Tragic Greek Lovers Ever and then years later you get married to each other and you become the version of the lovers who get a happy ending and get to go home together and you get to do the show again together and now the characters have a different meaning

free my girl she did all that and that’s what makes her such a compellingly complex character. that’s her essence

"i asked chatgpt--" okay well i asked the angel of music and he said i was an insolent boy and a slave of fashion.

Characters whose life is a torture hole and who have constructed their entire self image around the belief that they can never get out of the torture hole and that's fine because they like being in the torture hole actually and who will commit horrific crimes to keep themselves in the torture hole because if they admit to themselves for one moment that things could be better it would utterly annihilate them, my beloved

She took my fucking mind palace, I'm thinking out of my mind car now.

oh i’m sorry would you rather me beat an alive horse?

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me

i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

fabulous 

i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.

#HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY

"Suzanne Collins gave Coriolanus Snow a tragic backstory and made him sympathetic!" So close. Actually, she put the reader in the POV of an extremely privileged character whose thoughts and views and morals still ultimately aligned with fascism, who constantly fell back on those philosophies no matter how many brief moments of humanity he felt for the Districts. She wrote a realistic human being who aligned himself with the status quo and benefited from it. She demonstrated a character who did not become kinder or more empathetic through his suffering, but instead became angrier at the indignity of it, and punished the ones he saw as "deserving" it sevenfold. She showed you, the reader, that those in power know exactly how much the oppressed suffer, and do it anyway, even if they briefly suffer the same.

This is very well written.

It's not too late to suppress all of your wants and desires and to die unfulfilled and afraid without anyone ever having really known you.
