‘A good tragedy is always both preventable and inevitable’ is one of my main hills to die on. It’s literally so important to me. I’m fucking correct

It’s only tragedy if you convince yourself, for even just a moment, that everything could be ok, despite knowing it won’t be. Tragedy lies in ‘so close, yet so far.’ It’s avoidable because it would only take a tiny alteration to prevent disaster, but human nature is in the way- not maliciously, not knowingly, despite trying so hard.

If it’s just preventable, that’s barely even sad. Why didn’t they prevent it, then? If it’s just inevitable, that’s only marginally better. Why would we weep? Our hopes can’t be dashed on the rocks, we can’t hope.

Every tragedy worth the paper it’s written on could be averted by a single word, a single choice, a single hesitation, but won’t be, because the subjects are only human. Not because they were weak, stupid, or evil- simply human. Their simple humanity makes disaster inevitable.

And in my opinion, the very best tragedy, the very most heartwrenching, comes from the hero making the right decision every time- from their perspective.

It’s when you know you would have done the exact same thing in their shoes, and only because of your perspective as the reader are you able to see what it will cost. That’s what really rocks my socks

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn’t use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like “…but just this once you can have it for free, don’t tell my boss though” he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying “yes….. yes!!!!!” like the sickos comic

This is actually very normal human behavior. It’s just that most people (in the USA) think “Jesus strengthens me” instead of “I am a pikmin, dandori time”

This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.

We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.

Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.

Stories are armor. Stories are fuel.

This is what “your emotions are valid” means.

It doesn’t mean that any random shit you do is fine so long as you’re angry or sad. It means that the anger and sadness is fine, attacking the emotion is pointless, and it’s your behaviour in response to it that can help or harm.

Ive noticed recently that my generation has… no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like “at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment” and its like… oughh

You guys, middle class doesnt mean “a stable enough rented roof over your head,” it means “a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days.” If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you’re lower class. That’s lower class.

And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their “eat the rich” rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.

Ah, but yes you can! Ordinary Sausage on youtube has spent years providing content for anyone who’d like to see just what would happen if you made a sausage out of whatever you can think of:

Recently Mr. Sausage has also been putting more time into his non-sausage videos, including stuff like Chicken Boiled in Nuclear Green Kool-Aid and Carbonated Eggs. Check it all out if you aren’t prone to being easily grossed out.

Fans slam Posie Parker for suggesting trans ally David Tennant is a paedophile

Anti-trans activist Posie Parker insinuated that Doctor Who star David Tennant is a paedophile on social media – and it didn’t go down well.

PinkNews | Latest lesbian, gay, bi and trans news | LGBTQ+ news

I hope he sues for libel.

“No adult should be telling children that they’re safe, it is creepy as hell.”

Transphobes act like they’re “protecting kids” and then say shit like this completely unprompted and unironically.

Tennant?

TENNANT?

She’s coming for David Tennant??

OK BUT REBLOGGING BECAUSE OF THIS:

The pin reads “You are safe with me.”

So if anyone out there STILL wants to hang on to that H@rry-P*tter-adjacent username

GO FUCK YOURSELF

Why did she change her name from Kellie-Jay Keen to Posie Parker? Is she trying to confuse people into thinking she’s actress Parker Posey?

Anyone who supports ether kellie-jay keen otherwise know as poise Parker and JK Rowling needs to get off my dash and stop fallowing me.

It doesn’t even refer to children in any way! It’s from the Gayprideshop.co.uk and it looks like this.

What a stupid fucking maneuver. Graham Lineham lost his agent, his marriage, and his career after making the same accusations against Tennant for wearing a “Leave Trans Kids Alone” t-shirt and this random transphobe thinks she can make a swing based on literally nothing at all? Good fucking luck.

i would like to also point out that this is exactly why people are being told to stop supporting jk rowling financially, and to stop supporting her work entirely. jk rowling has some actual powerful influence, both politically and monetarily. if she can pay for legal fees of other people when they get sued for libel for claiming LGBT+ allies are all pedophiles*, then this is an example of how she can be a very real threat to LGBT+ and trans people especially.

*not saying this is what actually happened as i don’t know what those legal fees they mentioned she paid were actually for, but it still demonstrates her financial power.

People occasionally suggest separating art from artist, but that really only applies if the author doesn’t profit off their works anymore. Like, Lovecraft was a racist bastard, but he’s dead and so can’t use the money from his books to further a racist agenda. Rowling is alive and uses her money for shit like this. And so I think the solution is simple. People can be Harry Potter fans again when Rowling is dead.
