my idiot child who died 3times

kindness infinite, piranesi

Working on this gave me a lot of time to think about Piranesi, and why it resonated with me. In the end, I think it’s because the protagonist himself is such a rare type in fiction: empathetic and curious, kind to others but perfectly happy alone. That ability to be by himself, to be content experiencing his world without loneliness is so important to me.

The statues are the stars of Piranesi, but the image that stuck in my mind were those moments when he paused to look through the windows. Maybe it’s because I’ve done a lot of traveling alone; there’s a certain feeling when you turn from the fancy rooms or the statues in a grand old palace, and notice how the sunlight falls through the windows. There’s an aching melancholy to it – the sense of gentle decay, the awareness that you might never return to this place – but also a loveliness. And that’s the House to me. Beauty immeasurable. Kindness infinite.

Slow start to the year but I’ll get back on track in February 💪

I’m hoping to really throw myself into my hobbies soon. It’s just been a tough beginning.

At some point the labyrinth becomes home.

AITA for trying to kill myself and killing my man’s girlfriend after my situationship didn’t pay enough attention to me?

I (M) recently drowned my situationship (also M) in a bathtub for a college assignment. After being resurrected through medical malpractice involving stolen EpiPens he suddenly had a religious episode and stopped paying attention to me. So logically, I found his girlfriend (F) who is also MY friend and convinced (read: gaslighted) her into tying me to a table and electrocuting me. This surprisingly did not go well and she died. My situationship then got mad and shot me 3 times, I think he was overreacting. AITA?

Hey, y'all! I made these today! I release them into the world to support the cause! They're sized for 8.5x11 printer paper. Take 'em. Print 'em. Post 'em EVERYWHERE.
