And we love them for that. But...

The Eye

They, all alone, have to come to terms with the fact that they will never have the future they planned.

They, all alone, have to mourn people who still live and breathe.

You're Porphy. The newest astronaut just launched. You don't expect them to be back for a while, they have a solar system to explore. But ten minutes later, they return. They drop into the village with their jetpack and stop in front of one of the geysers. They put down a backpack, and from it they pull Chert, drums and all.

They're holding them with one hand, and the astronomer doesn't seem to care at all. They just keep playing their drums, even as they're tossed into the eruption of a geyser.

I teach English to kids in china and most of the kids use English names during the lessons. Usually exceedingly stereotypical English names like Susie or Tomy. There’s a good amount that end up picking, well, I suppose they could be names, but people in real life are usually not named that, like Panda or Peachy. I have one kid named Jade Emperor. That kid is a hoot 😆

Anywho, before the kids log in, I can already see their names, but I always ask them their names when they get there so they can get practice introducing themselves and I can make sure I’m pronouncing it right. Saw “Three” on the screen when I logged in and gave it the bombastic side eye 🤨 Low and behold, the itty bittiest kid logs in, I ask their name, and they say “Three!”
