Every day, the urge to write that Band AU gets stronger and stronger.
#trust me my dude there are a lot of parallels you could make between devil-hunting and the music industry#how ruthlessness and erosion of your sense of self are held up as not only admirable but NECESSARY in order to survive the environment#having to work with/for objectively horrible people but 'oh we put up with them because they're just so GOOD at their job they have#ABILITIES that we NEED it's a...dare I say...necessary evil'#'this job will kill me long before any of my horrible coping mechanisms do'#how fear means guaranteed failure in both circumstances...#'you'd have to be insane to sign up for this job'#a romanticized idea of 'insanity' being praised as genius/skill but only the right KIND of '''insanity'''#it's so difficult and dangerous (physically or emotionally) but for various and often personal reasons you just can't make yourself leave...#'you're all expendable and we can easily find 10 new versions of you'#in both you have to fight the abstract or literal manifestations of fears/people's inner demons/personal issues day after day after day...#the prevalence of addiction and psychological issues that come from the stress and destructive qualities of that environment.........#training from hell to 'make you stronger' because 'that's how it is in the real world'#'don't form attachments because this job will do everything it can to take them away from you'#...yeah#they're basically the same thing#I mayhaps. have too many unresolved feelings. about The Person I Used To Be.
