i always get super frustrated when I'm engaging with media if I don't feel like they have the proper weight given to like. repeated and prolonged periods of intense exertion and/or suffering and/or distress.

what i don't mean is that i think everyone should be screaming and wailing all the time. the thing is that like actually in times of crisis things are really properly like that sometimes. you really do just find this ability in yourself to keep going on. to keep moving forward. because the alternative is sometimes that you will literally die if you don't keep moving. there is no choice.

but this isn't a consequence-less mechanism. the ability to keep moving in a crisis is not a good or positive thing. those perspective-altering shifts have happened whether you acknowledge them or not and the longer you have to ignore them, the sharper the edges get, the more sliced up your sense of self becomes, the more that splatters out of you with every step you take.

and then, when you stop and rest. in a moment of pause and safety. you expect it to be pleasant but it's not. all that stuff you've been carrying with you, that has grown heavier with every step you've taken as you've forced yourself to keep moving because you have no other choice. it's still there. you brought it with you. you had to. there was no other choice about that either.

when you redress those wounds, the bandages are going to take the scabs with them. that moment of pause is filled with washing off old dirt to find you're more injured than you realised.

the keeping on is necessary. but it's the pauses, the brief respites, where you really feel the pain.

and I don't feel like I see enough of that.

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

Why you should listen to Metropolis

Metropolis is a retro sci fi story in which most of the world is heavily impoverished following a war. Most, but not one city. Metropolis, a city in the clouds, is occupied by the world's richest and is utopic. The main character is a journalist whose best friend was invited to Metropolis to report on its excellence. But he starts digging too far and stops answering her letters, prompting her to go out and find him.

Why you should listen in no particular order:

FRIENDSHIP. HELLO I LOVE NAN AND STANLEY WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

Retro sci fi is SUCH a cool genre and not one I had really experienced before. The setting is in the 1920s, and for the Metropolites there are robots and force shields and machines that can send your telegraphs for you.

The tone. They strike a really good balance of humor along with the darker elements of the story.

Cathartic yelling
