John Martin (1789-1854) - Fallen Angels in Hell, c. 1841

[mercutiotakethewheel]

it's the early 1700s. u have a close friend and he asks about ur trauma so u say "okay well here it is. remember my dead wife? well she was another guy's wife when she and i first got together. the guy didn't mind tho bc he and i were ALSO in crazy love. when his dad found out we were in crazy gay love he killed him. so my crazy gay love is dead now which is why im raging a war against the english empire"

and this mfer goes "well this is of immediate concern for me not because of the gay thing but because at least three times now the person who loved you most ended up dead. and i am the person who loves u most rn. BUT i am incapable of dying so this means ill eventually have to kill you (???). which makes me sad"

We often talk about "ludonarrative dissonance" in terms of morality and situations like "the story says violence is bad, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to kill things" but my actual fave version of it is "the story says you have a very serious plot-relevant time-sensitive thing to do, but the gameplay enables and encourages you to buzz off into the world and search for collectibles for five weeks"

the thing about charles "i can understand a woman's desire for domesticity, but a man's?" vane is that i've seen people read that as "it's gay to live in a house" and "it's counterrevolutionary to live in a house" and the thing is it's both. vane is an anticolonial proto-anarchist and he also has some really fucking weird ideas about gender. his answer to the central question of communism* is "yes, obviously"

*which is, of course, "Are women bourgeois?"

Wait so you’re telling me my only options for letting people know I’m having a hard time in real life are 1) telling them (won’t happen, humiliating) or 2) public mental breakdown (also won’t happen, more humiliating)
