So, so, so badass.  What a chillingly powerful message this sends.  People have been lighting themselves on fire as a form of protest for centuries, but this might be the first time it’s been done by a professional who knows what he’s doing while under the supervision of professionals who know what they’re doing.

not as an act of self-destruction but as a display of skill

I'm in awe

the hot new trend is "guard posting"

TIL in 1896 a temporary, one-day city was named in Texas called Crush, where two locomotives were to be smashed head-on for purposes of spectacle. It was, for a few hours, the 2nd largest city in TX with 40k attendees. The collision caused engine boilers to explode, resulting in death and injuries.

but are YOU a reliable narrator?

my favorite trope isn’t really “forbidden love.” it’s “strongly disapproved of love.” no one can stop the two characters from being together; it’s not illegal, but, boy howdy, nobody likes it very much.

Forbidden love required them to run away and never see their families again or risk punishment. Frowned upon love means they can invite all their haters to attend their extravagant wedding to watch them exchange personalized vows.
