the only reason #cottagecore is considered a gen z thing is bc its a hashtag. it used to be called transcendentalism when offline men did it
Henry David Thoreau having all of his meals sent to him and laundry done while patting himself on the back for being such a back-to-the-land individualist: #simpleliving #aesthetic #waldenpond #cottagecore
my brother started calling our cat “doobie brother” which he then lengthened to “dubious brother” and has since morphed into “brother dubious” like he’s some sort of fucked up little monk

“My liege, I’m afraid I have reason to believe your concubine plots against you. Worry not, your eminence, you can still trust me, of course…”
what if they were your dad’s and a bad guy already murdered your granddad for them
like that’s basically justified right?
what if you made a very serious promise that you were going to murder people for the shiny objects and you hadn’t really thought through the implications at the time
admittedly you then started murdering people more or less immediately so the implications became obvious quite quickly
in fact you murdered some people and stole their stuff in literally exactly the same way that the bad guy murdered and stole from your family
but maybe you’re just quite stupid and don’t know about narrative parallels?
what if you felt genuinely bad about the murders
not bad enough to stop but you know, there was some emotional torment going on there
what if you were going to be condemned to eternal darkness for not doing the murders
…because of that very serious promise, which you made on purpose, no one forced you, the promise was your own idea
what if you kidnapped some small children and were nice to them
not even kidnapped, you adopted them, they were orphans
admittedly they were orphans because you murdered their whole family
but being nice to children is a redeeming quality right?
Our grocery store has a Perishable Manager and a Non-Perishable Manager and I know it’s talking about the departments they oversee but really it seems like Seth may be mortal but David will never die
