The essential reason for my loneliness is that I don't even know where I belong. I was supposed to be part of a story, but I fell from there like a leaf in autumn.

Oohhhhhhh. So far, all of Aabria's Dimension 20 seasons are intensely literary Misfits and Magic - Harry Potter ACOFAF - Jane Austen, Bridgerton Burrow's End - Watership Down, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Animal Farm, 1984, etc.

There's something delightful hearing her talk about not coming to TTRPGs through high fantasy like Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time, but yet there's so much bookish influence on her GMing work. Diversify the literary influences!

I'm voting for "white supremacy!!1!one!" And I say this not to claim everyone must agree because these are all terrible. But I think that is kind of the super-hot-take from which all the other hot takes flow. Or maybe more of a bellweather for the underlying super take. It so clearly signals a recency bias and an inability to sympathize with anything that isn't trying to be so aggressively Diverse that it starts losing structural integrity.

Poetry is what helps me remember that even in my fragments, I am whole.

i love so much reading, my happiest memory is reading a book by my favorite author in the middle of one of my worst depressions and laughing and crying from pure happiness after months of just sadness , truly nothing in this life touches me like books.
