every found family needs a clinically depressed CEO, a foodie haunted by the voices, a conspiracy theorist, the most perfect girl to ever exist and a random adult who hates every single one of them

and a severed head with abandonment issues

Pope quoting lord on the rings in his anti ai manifesto. Wow. What times we live in huh

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

I hope Charles Fane dies in a hideously violent and gruesome way that tonally does not fit into the otherwise famously low stakes universe of The Gilded Age, such as by being eaten to death by hounds.
