THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY HUGE. IN A VERY GOOD WAY.
SUPPORT EVIDENCE-BASED ADDICTION TREATMENT NOT RELIGIOUS AUTHORITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS
“While many people say AA has been instrumental in their recovery from addiction, scientists have long questioned the overall effectiveness of the program, and say choice in treatment plans is key to recovery.”

GOOD. Because they don’t fucking work for most of the people who try them and are flat-out inappropriate or harmful to some. Nobody should be forced into a program that wastes their time and doesn’t help them.
no one had “real names“ in ancient times if you wanted to be called broadback or servant-of-god or whatever everyone was chill about it

I wouldn't minded if umineko ended bittersweet rather than completely tragic, but that ending was way too triumphant, like tone it down!
my personal problem is that i fundamentally, irrevocably disagree with ange and the story's philosophy on the deepest level - i simply don't believe that sugarcoating the memories of the rotten ushiromiya legacy can ever be worth it, and I especially question the portrayal of it being the seemingly "healthier" option for her like that kind of painful reconciliation isn't a natural part of grief. what she ends up aiming for is incomprehensible to me as a decision, and I much prefer the trick route, with her throwing away her family's gift (the fact that the gift is specifically from kinzo being quite important too) and steering away from the past. at once acceptance of the tragedy and simultaneous "fuck you" to all of the doubt she'd held so far. queen shit. even with her questionable decisions. magic ending i find weak in comparison
this is all deeply colored by my worldview of course, but it's one that I am unable to separate myself from in this case

She.
Do I have to do everything myself around here?
if you want to create but feel intimidated and overwhelmed, you're forgetting something: good art doesn't exist. all art is terrible. every story and song and movie and picture is worse than the one before it and all artists should be in prisom
WHEN ON PERIOD:
- do not crash out
- your feelings are NOT valid
- do not send that text
