i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

-Anne Carson, ‘Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides’

Stories are full of impossibilities to teach us to bear the unbearable.

Quick someone stop me before I do a trans masculine reading of Ken's arc in the Barbie movie and how if you look at it through a trans masc lense it really follows this arc of seeking patriarchal cis acceptance before coming to terms with the fact that you aren't actually beholden to cis patriarchy and can exist as yourself outside of it and just be Ken (a fun little man thing that's a little weird with it)
