Calvin and Hobbes - It’s July Already

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

Here is something I’ve learned that made my life better. You can believe in the efficacy of science, and also that there’s magic in the world. You can choose to believe in whatever makes the world more wonderful and livable for you as long as it hurts no one. You can believe, for example, that the trees you walk by often notice you, or the crows in your area recognize you when you go outside. You can notice special places in your area and believe there are quiet beings there that you can leave small gifts for or that something in the little stream nearby is pleased when you visit. What possible harm can it do to believe something like that? Why deny yourself that if it brings you joy? People try to get you to believe there are all these things wrong with you and wrong with the world, all kinds of things that make you sad or mad. Why not choose a few things to believe on purpose to make you glad? Why not be an OC in your own secret story?

Historically, famous and powerful people were very removed from the public eye, which allowed them to cultivate a certain mystique that was essential their prestige. In a sense this was win-win, because even though the public wants to know about its stars and leaders, they want even more to believe in them, to believe in that cultivated ideal. These days, though, there's pressure to be "on" all the time, to be constantly engaging with fans and followers, and it creates unsustainable demands on public figures which ultimately leave everyone worse off.

Like, just a specific example that's been on my mind lately: it used to be that if you were a dark lord, you'd spend most of your time in your fortress, and people mostly encountered you indirectly through your forts, your minions, the blighted land, whatever. People really only saw you personally at ceremonies, war marches, and public executions, so they could fill in the blanks with the kind of dread sovereign they wanted to have, and everyone was happy. With social media and paparazzi, though, there's this expectation to actually be that guy all the time, on tap, and it's just not feasible. No matter how much work you put in, eventually you'll have a bad day, someone will destroy your amulet or something, and the next day everyone's going to be sharing a phonecam video of you recoiling and saying "This cannot be!" and it doesn't even matter how much terror you struck in the hearts of the people, now you're the guy from the shocked wizard meme.

And the problem is that the skills that get you to that position don't really train you to deal with it. The first instinct is always to think "this is all a big mistake", and just get out there and start impaling people to shore up confidence, but that just makes it worse -- you can't impale your way out of problems in a global media landscape. It feels bad, but all you can really do is lock your account and take some space away from your work until it blows over.

Idk there's something really sweet to me about fix-it writers. Like, me and you- maybe we couldnt make it this time, but in another universe, a million people saw the pain of our story and are writing us a happy ending, giving us the chance we never had

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

I have two more prompts for my snippets of kisses, I meant to fill them last week when I was doing the rest of them... I was thrown WAY off my game last week by getting several asks full of really vile anon hate. It just completely destroyed my motivation and made me feel like crap. I will get the last two prompts, hopefully this weekend. I just wanted to let those people know that I am neither ignoring nor rejecting their asks. Just... the hatred and near-threats affected me more than I would have liked.
