once as a child I got in trouble for flicking a piece of fluff off my shoulder onto the floor instead of getting up to put it in the trashcan and even at the time I remember thinking “this is not a thing that adults care about if anyone but a child does it”

People love to use kids as symbolic innocence you're supposed to care about without actually wanting to acknowledge kids are individual human people whose lives matter outside of symbology

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

I think it would be cheap if they did a deus ex machina and francis lived But there's a scenario in which his soul lives on in the astral realm which I think could be interesting. like you chose to kill yourself and you did except now you have to live with that decision and see the consequences. that could be interesting to explore

honestly sometimes stories where characters have self awareness and solve their problems maturely can be really refreshing sometimes. and sometimes it feels like therapyspeak slop. intense stories where no one is capable of understanding themselves and act out in incorrect ways can be very fun. and sometimes it feels like contrived bullshit. whatever makes "a good story" is harder to make happen than just using the right kind of characters using the right words

Can you imagine being Ghastly though. Being told by your own mother for years that your closest friend, the person you've given so much care and effort to, would eventually find someone else. That he'd eventually end up taking a black-haired girl as his partner. Being told that this girl would die at eighteen. Your mother explicitly telling you to not pass this information on to Skulduggery. Can you imagine that being your life.

First just having to grapple with the idea that you might not be good enough for your friend is already so, so fucking awful. And Ghastly would have had to spend his life being worried at any black-haired girls he was meeting. Wondering if she's the one. And then his mother DIED. Guidance, who's that?

And then imagine the war's been over for a while. You're going about your day as normal. And then your friend comes in with a black-haired girl in tow, saying she wants to come along. She doesn't know. Skulduggery doesn't know. She's twelve, no way should she be doing this. And worst of all, she's the niece of a now-dead mutual friend of yours. It would feel like getting hit with a fucking truck.

And you try to warn her. You really do. But she's young and doesn't care. And so you just have to live like that from there on out. You have to watch this little girl grow up, you have to help her, train her, raise her, knowing that she's going to die one day very soon. You just have to try and ignore it. You have to watch Skulduggery's extremely unhealthy relationship with her and you just have to be normal about that.

And then she turns eighteen, and a war breaks out and Darquesse is coming very soon, and you just have to be fine and normal about that. Hope that your mother was wrong and everything turns out alright.

And then you die. And you have to die knowing that she's going to die too. That you won't even be there to see it.

And then you wake up. It's been eight years. She's twenty-six now. Still alive. Still hanging out with Skulduggery. The energy of your interactions is different, but you can't tell if that's because some part of her really did die when she was eighteen or if you're the one who's changed.

And you just need to live like that.

Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking.
