The last place where I would have thought to find a study in kindness is Dracula

But Mina is kind and Jonathan is kind and Mr. Swales is kind and Sister Agatha is kind and the people of Bistritz are kind and the Captain of the Demeter is kind and Count Dracula is monstrous because he is a bully who loves to fuck with people and Lucy is kind and Quincey is kind and the people on the train from Klausenberg took Jonathan too, even though he was in a state!

It is Human Kindness vs Monstrous Villainy, this book.

Blind man Cassidy has lots of fascinating fortunes, but my favourite is one I had recently:

"Bad news awaits you, sir. Sadly, sooner than you think. But beyond the news, paradise awaits. Paradise.."

We know what the bad news was, but what like about this one specifically is how Cassidy describes Arthur's eventual fate as paradise. It makes you think, "Paradise? All that suffering is paradise?" - but the more I thought about it, the more beautiful it really is.

Arthur suffered, he suffered for a long time even before his diagnosis, suffering was just one of the many side effects of the outlaw lifestyle. He wrote about always longing for death and how the world doesn't want him anymore. But even through all the devastation and betrayal especially towards the end of the game, Arthur got to finally see the world clearly for the first time in his life.

He had the opportunity to make things right, he was given the the chance to let himself die at ease under the light of the morning sun.

He finally had relief.

Relief from a life's worth of pain and suffering and agony and heartbreak and overwork and illness in the most peaceful way possible.

If that isn't paradise, then I'm not sure what is.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.
