distressing things to say to your friends
some fools be like “i play games to escape my responsibilities” then pick tank or healer
in my greatest fantasies i am able to help people
In my fantasies I can prevent people from being hurt, even if it means I get hurt in their stead.
In my fantasies i dont have to know how to aim
Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted
Wait what.
Sometimes old ladies had to kick the ladder out from under their stepfathers when they were girls and that’s valid
oh, my little old lady murder story was her replacing the medication in her abusive husband's capsules with rat poison.
"back in the day, our grandmothers worked on their marriages and didn't get divorced!" nah, friend, they COULDN'T get a divorce so sometimes they killed their fuckin husbands. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My grandma murdered her first husband the first time he beat their daughter.
My college was next to an assisted living facility and one time we went over there to draw people’s portraits so we could get practice drawing older people. The lady I was drawing idly told me that she "dealt quite handily with her first husband” while making a stabbing gesture. Five minutes later she requested I make sure not to draw her double chin. I honored that request.
So when I was a child my grandmother told all these great stories about growing up in the Alaskan wilderness. Amazing bad ass stories about her and my great-grandmother. I recently asked my mom why my great-grandmother moved from Texas to Alaska in the first place. Turns out my Great-grandfather was abusive to my great grandmother for years and she lived with that until the first time he hit my grandmother, who was like three at the time, my great-grandmother got him very drunk and beat him to death then moved to Alaska to hide from the cops.
Men don't realize their life expectancy went up thanks to divorce.

i love you nuance i love you characters who aren't wholly good or wholly bad i love you characters that are messier than audiences want them to be i love you stories with no true heroes or true villains i love you stories that don't force you to take one side or another and let you make your own choice i love stories that make you actually think i love you nuance because to be nuanced is to be human
crybaby
"capitalism breeds innovation" was only ever true in the mid-2000s when cell phones kept getting more and more fucked up
^ healthy and diverse breeding practices
^ wild inbreeding in pursuit of uniformity and an arbitrary ideal of breed "purity" resulting in gross health complications
