people wanting miriel to survive the fall/adar to live/various tragic fates to be averted because "the writers can do what they want, they don't have to adapt it strictly".... how does it feel to be a literal case study in emotional avoidance to the point of refusing to dwell in tragic storytelling because you can't psychically take it

#i wrote my undergrad thesis on the 2019 film adaptation of antigone + importance of tragedy #you can avoid tragedy at your own peril--you will limit your own emotional capacity for both grief and joy #anyway you don't have to engage with ROP if you don't want tragedy but uhhhhh. if you watch it. are you aware of what you're getting into?#even for elrond and galadriel who survive this age their story is defined by loss and trauma #the long defeat etc etc etc. did you expect sunshine and butterflies???????#trop
