#heeeeey#thinkin about tragedy again (as im one to)#and i think… tragedy is about what the deceased believe in their heart when they end#im thinking about it mostly with taz as my frame of referance because of that one post#but i can carry this logic out to some of my other favorite tragedies#like my favorite tragedies are hopeful tragedies. tragedies that some might call cautionary tales but only by people qho didnt live it#hadestown. the magnus archives. taz amnesty.#in that order and re: what the deceased believed when they ended:#eurydice dying a second time now uttered no complaint against her husband. for what could she complain about but that she had been loved?#whatever happens…. we’ll be somewhere else. together? together.#you look up… and you hear the wind… and you see the stars… and they’re beautiful…..#so these are the hopeful tragedies that i so adore. beautiful and full of love.#but re: re: the post that made me make THIS post….#the tragedies that i love but find to be the truest rawest kind of tragedy are the stories like johan’s (taz b)#where someone lives a not insignificant part of their life with the fears that we all possess#and in their final moments their last fleeting seconds are not spent in love with the beauty of the life you have lived- however short#but rather your literal last moments of existance are claimed by fear.#that your mistake was fatal. that your life… your work amounted to nothing.#that no matter how many lives you have touched… that no one will remember you in death#for what can we do for those doomed souls? we tell their stories. we work so that their tragic end was the last of it’s kind#we tell ourselves that they know their death was not in vain#but for the cynical among us… we know that the only thing we know is that they died believing all their worst fears were truths#i try not to remain a cynic. i turn away as often as i can#i believe physically in souls. in the spark of life that we share with every person we touch#but i aslo don’t believe in afterlife. i believe in The End#if you know what i mean…………….
