#BAD!

The common refrain is, you know, characters doomed to play the role in the story they're pigeonholed as, heroes and villians, yadda yadda, mid-2010s "subversive" Pixar film 101. This is known. There are certainly works that are singular enough or morally simplistic enough that this is a reasonable approach. It's actually a little different with superheroes, though, in fact it's almost the opposite problem- that your role in the story is actually extremely fluid and subject to revision but it doesn't matter. A "superhero" can do something they should die in jail for and five years later, it'll still be canon but like, come on, why are you bringing it up? Juggernaut's on the X-Men now. Not even his first face-turn. How long will that stick? When it stops sticking how much will it inform his character? It's not really the storybook princess-in-a-tower kind of narrative determinism, it's the determinism of every possible outcome being weightless. Animal Man's finale with Grant Morrison talking to Buddy understood that the real horror was centered in that weightlessness. Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow understood that, with Mr. Mxyzptlk. To an extent the original premise of The Boys was rooted in that weightlessness. It's gotta be about the weightlessness

Do you think being turned into an edel tree hurts or is it like too cold and like going to sleep? Greg didn't seem much in pain but I've always wondered. I'd like to think it doesn't hurt and it's a kindness after all that despair that you don't die alone but are being sung to sleep. There's a comfort in not being alone.

I imagine that for most cases, it's quite like freezing to death. It may be initially uncomfortable, painful, but I think you eventually begin to numb, detatched from your body, and serene, as the song washes over you and the limbs you can't feel are cocooned in wood. I do not think, at that point, song registers as company, or even comfort, just something to guide you away from clinging to the last remnants of feeling in your face.

I actually took my 1/8th of an edible during daylight this time, but it was after all those other posts. And I took it because I have to go to a stressful social event. And it's not helping.
