I understad why Nanami and Nobora had to go because if they stayed in the story, it would not have had the same tone. the sense of dread that built up was unmatched. The way they described her power and the way you can figure out how helpful it would be then she's just gone? intentional despair >.<

I'm scared that a huge issue is not being aware: On Aug 29th the US is removing the de minimis rule on all packages. Being international, de minimis meant no one payed tariffs on my goods since it was under $800. Now there will be a $80-200 fee to receive my art. Even for a $5 sticker. 🔸(1/4)

do people not realize "depressing content" resonates with a lot of people because in real life people dont want to bring up emotions that others see as negative 🙄😔 people are literally scared to tell their own friends about sad topics and stories can give catharsis and help people move on

Some people just seem to want to eliminate all potential sources of discomfort, no matter how small or innocuous, from their lives. Fiction allows you to model experiencing big emotions in a safe controlled setting, and I just don't think any good comes of avoiding that to this degree

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.
