“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies-“God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” -Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

ahhhhh over the years of reading fuck all but e-rated fanfic at 4am i have completely forgotten how the right book can make u feel so light and spent and boneless. skimmed ahead the last 20 or so pages before finishing it proper haha as you can extrapolate i never really had the patience 4 edging. would u believe me if i said this is one of the most heart-sinking bits of writing ive ever read
thought of some people of tumblr reading this:
#kurt vonnegut#god bless you mr rosewater#im so glad i started reading him via dad way back#obviously a dash of chicken-egg conundrum due the well-moldable developmental stage i was at at the time of the introduction#but i feel its precious to be able to find an author who writes in the voice so familiar and accommodating#who still manages to bring clarity to ideas you would've gotten all tangled up in yourself#there is exactly one fanfic from the last five years or so that genuinely impacted me but thats almost entirely a me issue

Down with his saccharine, sweet generosity
Down with his ministrations
Down with the bleeding heart
And his philosophy
Up with his poor relations
Up with publicity
Up with the interviews
Up with the whirlwind touring
Up with the bunting
Up with the slogan signs
Up with the underscoring!
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!)
#god bless you mr rosewater#i wish we had howard ashman longer#every time i listen to one of his shows I'm so taken with his writing

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

Quote
Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.
Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Sad songs in musical theater but not in a “I’m sad so I’m going to sing about it,” kind of way but a “tight pinch in your chest and soft lump in your throat” kind of way.
Eliot/Sylvia - God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
Johanna (reprise) - Sweeney Todd
Welcome to the Rock - Come From Away
Breathe - Bandstand
All I Longed to See - Broken Wings
Balancing - The Burnt Part Boys
Orphan in the Storm - Celebration
I’m Glad to See You’ve Got What You Want - Celebration
In This House - Doctor Zhivago
Four Friends - Ghost Quartet
Doubt Comes In - Hadestown
Be Careful, It’s My Heart - Holiday Inn
Didn’t I See This Movie? - Next to Normal
Honestly, anything from Titanic
Feel free to add your own ideas!

Kilgore Trout – Venus on the Half-Shell
Dell Books 16149, 1975; reprint 1978

Kilgore Trout is a pseudonym of Philip José Farmer
Venus on the Half-Shell is a science fiction novel by Philip José Farmer, writing pseudonymously as “Kilgore Trout,” a recurring fictional character in many of the novels of Kurt Vonnegut. This book first appeared as a lengthy fictitious “excerpt”—written by Vonnegut, but attributed to Trout—in Vonnegut’s God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1965).
