Fun fact I’m actually a comedian
Just finished reading it and I just can't do it, it's written so beautifully, if it was sad but bad it wouldn't mean much BUT NO! It's sad AND greatly written the author ripped my heart out and shred it to pieces with their bare hands (do recommend tho)
i watched saving private ryan for the first time a few days ago. who becomes my favorite right away? yep, wade, the medic of course. i know, its a war movie so what was i expecting, well for him to make it? (duh) but that's not the point, my vent is because whenever i say a character is my favorite they die like 99% of the time. is it me? am i the problem? do i bring them bad luck? I DON'T KNOW i just want that to stop PLEASE

Don’t ask why, I don’t know
you know, as a character, you get the sense that Lewis Nixon is literally just living his life one day at a time. he's got no long-term plans, really. why would he? he was born rich, with a life of guaranteed leisure served to him on a silver platter, right? literally he has no need to look forward to anything, because he's been conditioned, from a young age, to be confident in the fact that whatever he wants, whatever he needs, is simply a phone call, a request, and a wad of cash away. he's never really had to bribe himself with a future he wants. the american dream was his before he was even born! he doesn't really know how to imagine a future for himself, as a result. at least, not one that breaks the monotony of his own gilded cage of an existence.
it's a mindset he's lived in for almost all of his life-- that's why he has so many self-destructive tendencies held back by mere threads of self-preservation, right? what even is there for him to live for, in the long run?
that's why "we'll go to Chicago, I'll take you there," is so fucking important!!!!!
for the first time in a long, long time he's giving himself MORE than just scraps for mere survival. he's giving himself incentive to not just live another day, but survive the rest of the war! he's making plans!!!! he's making PROMISES!!!!!! and he intends to fulfill them!!!!!
and Dick Winters KNOWS what it means!! he KNOWS!!!!!!
it's why he keeps LOOKING AT NIX LIKE THAT!!!! and why he KEEPS looking at Nix like that!!!!!
he knows he's Lew's reason for staying alive!! do you understand????? do you see my vision?????? DO YOU UNDERST--
