I am haunted by Aaron Bushnell's last words. I have been following the ICJ's hearings this last month. And I cannot deal with this anymore. People are dying, suffering at every second. It is hell on earth. I am furious. I am eighteen, I am in high school and every day in between classes I talk with my peers about the ICJ's verdicts.. about Rafah, about Yemen, about murdered children. We are so full of grief. We are so young and already so full of grief. We are so young and already so devoid of any hope. For the world. For our futures. It really feels as if they have stolen our childhoods. I have no words. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves. There is hope. There has to be. We are here.

I don’t read a lot fic so I’m simultaneously living in an ignorant lalaland but also wanting more and afraid to venture into wild territory for fear of repeatedly encountering the Joel you mentioned. If even someone like me has noticed it, then it’s truly pervasive. I like to think I do a decent job of separating the character from their dominant trope/au/fanon but it gets hard <insert Oscar Isaac coffee gif>
I'm kind of in the same boat! I'm not reading that much these days (and when my brain is ready to I have a looong to-read list for other characters!) but I like to scroll through the fandom tag and skim the summaries. I'm sure there IS some great, thoughtful, in-character fic out there but I rarely see anything that draws me in. I've actually literally just added a tag filter for his name so I can stop looking in the first place because I find it so dispiriting and confusing 😕

one more post while i am insane but i do think maybe Wanting to live should be ... enough to live. like can it just be all that is needed maybe. instead of [gestures vaguely at capitalistic society] all of that. a person should just Want to be alive and be allowed to live and given what they need to live. i dont want to have to beg and grovel for the ability to keep myself alive, i already did that (and continue to do that!) with my parents and now apparently i have to do that with the govmt and just... Everything.
