An idea for a dystopian story:
The human race has made great advance in going out to space, building great monuments and spacecraft, but it’s running out of elements(the earth is dying) mostly iron, carbon, and the elements that the human bodies carry, so yeah they start using dead bodies (some people say the actually use the poor, criminals and minorities)
im so selfish
the moon? a very good friend. very supportive and lovely. always ready to listen to me,, thank u moon
Nico canonically being the least dense and the most sensible when it comes to relationships and romance among the big three kids lives rent free in my mind
i would have laughed at nico's trauma joke sorry will but im different (traumatized & mentally ill)
Taking these circles of hell and the sins they represent and making them tangible and relatable and more human so that we can come to terms with the fact that the idea of sin is inherently learned and the ideas of things being morally good or morally bad are ingrained in us as people in a society and that we need to come to see everything as neutral for one reason or another is just so important like he knew what he was trying to do and he succeeded
the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
if i ever come off a little weird and you wonder if theres something wrong with me there is theres actually so many things wrong with me but im doing such a good job being normal. so you should actually be proud of me you should smile and be like wow youre doing such a good job and then be on your merry way
