what’s your “odd” comfort movie? a movie that isn’t stereotypically comforting but does comfort YOU? mine’s conclave (2024)

[lithiumdoll]

You don’t have to answer this, but I trust you enough in a “he seems like a nice person” way that I don’t see much harm in sending the ask.

Would you be able to share some reasons for hanging around? Life has been really hard and overwhelming lately, and I’m just feeling so tired of everything and existing as a whole. Thank you.

Much like 14th century peasants could not have possibly preconceived of the internet, you cannot possibly preconceive the kind of joy or love or peace that you are yet to experience until you experience it. The inability to comprehend a happy future is not the same as the inability to experience it.

If you are feeling anything like I’ve felt, you may feel incredibly old and tired and that you’ve already seen everything worth seeing. This is because at any given moment, you are the oldest and most knowledgeable you have ever been. This will be true in ten minutes and it will be true in ten years, and yet, here you are, younger and less wise than you will be.

There is no guarantee of a second chance at life. Look around you. There are mushrooms that talk and spiders that purr and whales in the ocean the size of cathedrals and water that glows in the dark and languages with so many words that almost nobody knows them all, and stories to read and art to look at and genres of music you haven’t even heard of before that will make your skin tingle and your heart race when you hear them for the first time. And you only get to be here for a little while, like a five-minute ticket to an all-you-can-eat buffet. You already have so little time. You already have so little time

Do you want to die, or do want things to be different?

Do you want to die, or do you want to escape?

Do you want to die, or do you want the pain to stop?

Would dying solve anything that couldn’t be fixed by changing your name and moving away somewhere nobody has ever met you before?

Are you in a hurry?

It gets better. That sounds like the biggest lie in the world. And I figure you probably aren’t going to believe me, because I know I didn’t believe it when people told ME that. But it will get better. I can’t tell you when, though. One day you’ll just wake up and realize it got better without your notice. And then it’ll get bad again, and you’ll think it was a lie again. But then it’ll get better again, and those better parts will get longer and longer every time until the bad parts are almost nothing

The end of the world has come and gone a hundred thousand times since the very first mud-brick shelter collapsed in a storm and the very first loom-woven tunic tore on a branch and the very first mother laid flowers on her baby’s grave. You’re here. I’m here. The world will always be ending, and someone will always be there. At the very least, you’ve never been alone.

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

Peter Morwood

I am so sorry to have to tell you all about this. None of you, I suspect, will ever have any idea how sorry.

I am in utter shock and terrible pain to have to inform everyone that our friend, my dear husband and creative partner of nearly forty years, Peter Morwood, passed away suddenly early this morning after a brief illness that as late as yesterday (when his doctor saw him) had seemed to be on the mend.

I'm not in any position to say much more about this situation now, as you'll understand my current mental state is not up to the task. (I keep expecting to wake up from a bad dream, but it shows no sign of breaking.) I will let people know more about this in coming days.

There will be a postmortem shortly to determine the exact cause of his death. I'll share what details of this are appropriate as they become clear.

Meanwhile in the short term I'm very much going to need assistance with the expenses that in the days that follow will inevitably surround what's happened. For those people who want to assist, please feel free to use the Ko-Fi account here, and simply tag the associated messages, etc, "P expenses". ETA: Please choose the Stripe payment option at Ko-Fi rather than PayPal, as PP seems to be having some kind of obscure difficulties at the moment. I have disconnected PayPal until this is resolved.

My love will wait for me, I know, however long it takes. He's never minded waiting. (the saddest smile) My job now is to make sure he's not forgotten while I go on.

Meanwhile, can I just say to all of of you: I thank you all ahead of time for all the support and fondness for Peter that I know so many of you will express. He'd blush over it, I know. (He always did.) Please forgive me for being unable to do much in the way of answering messages, just now, in the wake of having to get to grips with this sudden and awful change in my world.

But also let me say, so urgently: Hug your loved ones now, while you can. Eventually a day will come when, expected or not, your opportunities end.

Thanks, friends.
