I'm having an amazing time picturing Neil at the sunshine court instead of Jean. like the probbing questions, the unrelenting demand for explanations and getting down to their feelings, Neil would have run Day One. and obviously Jean on the Foxes would have been a complete disaster.

the difference between Jean and Neil is that Jean is a stray dog who needs attention and love and Neil is a feral cat that will only stay around if u pretend to ignore him

of course astarion gets mad early game when you do nice things for no reason. can you imagine getting out of the hell he was in and discovering that the world is awash in kindness, just never for you? the gods do answer prayers, just never your's. people go on long, dangerous quests for strangers with no reward guaranteed, but you just never saw those people. now that youve already done the impossible and escaped, you can see that rivers of sympathy and compassion flow all over but for some reason they always dried out before they reached you. where was all this good in the world when you needed it most?

i would be spitting mad

the last thing i’ll say about my literature teacher—

on the day we finished hamlet, we as a class talked a lot about horatio; why he lived, his reaction to hamlet’s death, his purpose, et. to close that conversation thread she said something like: “he lived because he was the only character who didn’t betray anyone. that’s because he didn’t want anything from hamlet. everyone else expected things from hamlet that he wasn’t capable of giving them. horatio just wanted to support his friend. that’s why shakespeare didn’t kill him.” and five years later i don’t know how much i agree with that, but i do know it affected how i approach classical tragedies to this day. she was the first person in my life who called attention to the fact that tragedies aren’t loveless stories. they’re kind of overflowing with it.

An Attempted Explanation of Andrew’s “Manic Pills”

One of the things that bothers me most about AFTG is the treatment of Andrew’s mental health/medicine. The way the characters talk about court-mandated psychiatry and “sobriety” and mania is just straight up wrong. It’s also a harmful representation of what it’s like to experience mania/hypomania, which is something that I take personally. I can’t speak to Nora’s intentions, and ultimately it doesn’t really matter because it’s just a book and there’s a lot of stuff in AFTG that requires suspension of disbelief. But I’ve decided to try to legitimize the whole thing for myself, just because I can!
