there is something so special about falling in love with artists and creators who are dead, their work is done, there’s nothing new, their oeuvre can be examined as a crystallized whole, but you can still learn more about them as people and then revisit their work and see it differently. and if they died too young or too suddenly there’s also that bittersweet feeling of knowing that their life was cut short but here you are, so many years later, still connecting with them and being influenced by them in real time. idk i just think it’s such a lovely part of being human y’know
#i think everyone is interesting but dead people are the most interesting#bc their stories are over! their stories are finite! but never whole. you can never know or understand enough#but that’s okay bc they’re still!! with you!#it’s like. my favorite type of parasocial relationship or whatever#whew idk i’m just having a lot of emotions tonight i guess#also this is about octavia butler and saturnino herrán specifically
