We need to go back to dealing with our trauma like early-mid 20th century male authors that fought in WWI or WWII
(by writing an epic novel hiding the trauma behind metaphors/fantasy/absurdism and characters that are a little insane)

Slaughterhouse Five is a lot sadder when you reread it and realize Billy Pilgrim is just Kurt Vonnegut in a coat. What I mean by this of course is that in the very first chapter, the introduction really, you notice things. Most of Billy's stories are just Vonnegut's reworded tales, most of the things Billy feels are just Vonnegut's thoughts. It's why Slaughterhouse Five is so good, it is tales of war from someone who went to war about someone who went to war. There is no glamorization, war isn't romanticized. It's ugly and true.

so i reckon that john watson's realist "it is what it is" statement in bbc sherlock is almost definitely a reference to erich freid's love poem “was es ist” BUT i also think it's very much an english soldier's version of slaughterhouse five american soldier billy pilgrim's "so it goes" and therefore i am right

Inktober Día 24 - Billy Pilgrim y los Tralfamadorianos
—Bienvenido a bordo, señor Pilgrim —dijo el altavoz—. ¿Alguna pregunta?
Billy se pasó la lengua por los labios, se quedó pensando un momento y al final preguntó: —¿Por qué yo?
—Esa es una pregunta muy terrenal, señor Pilgrim. ¿Por qué usted? ¿Por qué nosotros?, podríamos decir. ¿Por qué cualquier cosa? Porque este momento, sencillamente, es. No hay ningún porqué.
