i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

it really has to make me giggle (otherwise id be frustrated to no end) how clearly it becomes visible in fandom how bleak of an outlook on love and affection many people have. just saw a post say the person is sad Edwin didnt get anyone by the end of the season and that they want Edwin to be loved. Charles literally said he loves him! Goes to show that anything thats not picture perfectly romantic does not count for shit in this worldview that prioritized romantic love as the be all end all, and also if youre not loved romantically youre not loved at all. Idk i dont really have a point outside of seeing all these amatonormative/arophobic beliefs embedded in the convo about the show isnt really new (fandom tends to be like that) but it makes me sad and frustrated

#it’s BULLSHIT #they love each other! #friends can love each other! #why don’t people see platonic love as important? #YOU CAN GO TO HELL TO SAVE YOUR FRIENDS OK #I WOULD BREAK INTO HELL FOR MY FRIENDS #DO SOME OF Y’ALL NOT LOVE YOUR FRIENDS???? #UGHHHHHH

Hey btw, if you're doing worldbuilding on something, and you're scared of writing ~unrealistic~ things into it out of fear that it'll sound lazy and ripped-out-of-your-ass, but you also don't want to do all the back-breaking research on coming up with depressingly boring, but practical and ~realistic~ solutions, have a rule:

Just give the thing two layers of explanation. One to explain the specific problem, and another one explaining the explanation. Have an example:

Plot hole 1: If the vampires can't stand daylight, why couldn't they just move around underground?

Solution 1: They can't go underground, the sewer system of the city is full of giant alligators who would eat them.

Well, that's a very quick and simple explanation, which sure opens up additional questions.

Plot hole 2: How and why the fuck are there alligators in the sewers? How do they survive, what do they eat down there when there's no vampires?

Solution 2: The nuns of the Underground Monastery feed and take care of them as a part of their sacred duties.

It takes exactly two layers to create an illusion that every question has an answer - that it's just turtles all the way down. And if you're lucky, you might even find that the second question's answer loops right back into the first one, filling up the plot hole entirely:

Plot hole 3: Who the fuck are the sewer nuns and what's their point and purpose?

Solution 3: The sewer nuns live underground in order to feed the alligators, in order to make sure that the vampires don't try to move around via the sewer system.

When you're just making things up, you don't need to have an answer for everything - just two layers is enough to create the illusion of infinite depth. Answer the question that looms behind the answer of the first question, and a normal reader won't bother to dig around for a 3rd question.
