I KNEW YOU BEFORE WE MET AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU YET

"anyone who calls [insert book/movie] romantic should be psychologically tested" romantic does not equal morally good romantic does not mean positive romantic does not mean aspirational love can be morally wrong and ugly and violent that doesn't mean its not love

hmm maybe cam's attitude towards pal is a mirror of pal's attitude towards dulcie. in both sets of relationships, the person on the inferior end of the power imbalance (necrocav dynamic, age difference) is very willing to give themself over to their superior and shapes their whole youth around being of best service to them, camilla by going ham to become an excellent cavalier and palamedes by pursuing medical science and becoming the heir to his house, in both cases it seems like it's the superior who has to hit the brakes before things go to far, and then the inferiors literally blow themselves up for the sake of the superiors, anyway. and both cam and pal have been told that their outlooks aren't healthy and they both appear to have responded "sure, but I'm built different."

I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.

my understanding and interpretation of Mary Oliver’s “Wild Geese” cannot be untangled from the fact that it was originally published to follow her poem about childhood sexual abuse, “Rage”

i just don’t think it was unintentional that these were presented flush against each other
