stuff (---), she-ra finale
I finished the show.
I loved it but I feel like I've been lied to yet again.
We were the Best Friend Squad too. We used to tell each other we loved each other and our friendship was the most important thing and it would save us all.
It doesn't happen. We don't say it anymore. Not even the ones who will still talk to me. Nobody but Peggy, really. (OK. give or take a couple, especially that weird frost lizard. <3 )
But still. It doesn't work. Things decay in the real world and that's OK. Why can't we have a show that'll tell us that's OK?
seemingly unrelated griping but actually not about the Seattle postfurry scene, re: stuff (---), she-ra finale
@zebratron2084 I know this feeling too goddamn well? But at the same time... knowing the kind of shit we've both been involved in I feel like we've gotten an *unusually* bad example of how good things could get. Like, we've both had a space that should ultimately have been about radical self-expression instead just tie us down into irresolvable quagmire that almost entirely happened because it was pracitcally *policy* there not to communicate a single goddamn thing if you had problems with someone until it was far, *far* too late. You've been burned by that, I've been burned by that at a significantly younger age where I was arguably still developing no less, many others have as well.
I guess what I'm basically saying is... better things *are* possible. You've been lied to, but not necessarily by the show itself.

@Thaminga This is all actually pretty comforting, and I really did kinda need someone to commiserate with who understands. yanno? *hug* But I mean, I turn 45 in a few weeks. It's hard not to feel like I've missed my chance for a lot of those better things. And that's also OK, because I can still focus on trying to make sure OTHER people get them, and I did have my fun... it was just over so fast, you know?
