the worst thing i’ve ever done is want it too bad

i was talking to a moth

the other evening

he was trying to break into

an electric lightbulb

and fry himself on the wires

why do you fellows

pull this stunt i asked him

because it is the conventional

thing for moths or why

if that had been an uncovered

candle instead of an electric

light bulb you would

now be an unsightly cinder

have you no sense

plenty of it he answered

but at times we get tired

of using it

we get bored with the routine

and crave beauty

and excitement

fire is beautiful

and we know that if we get

too close it will kill us

but what does that matter

it is better to be happy

for a moment

and be burned up with beauty

than to live a long time

and be bored all the while

so we wad up all our life

into one little roll

and then we shoot the roll

that is what life is for

it is better to be a part of beauty

for one instant and then cease to

exist than to exist forever

and never be a part of beauty

out attitude toward life

is easy come easy go

we are like human beings

used to be before they became

too civilised to enjoy themselves

and before i could argue him

out of his philosophy

he went and immolated himself

on a patent cigar lighter

i do not agree with him

myself i would rather have

half the happiness and twice

the longevity

but at the same time i wish

there was something i wanted

as badly as he wanted to fry himself

anyways i genuinely hope all of these jokes about philza, jordan, etc being old and senile doesn’t get internalized by any of the kids in this fandom. you’re not old in your 30s. you’re not past your prime, you haven’t wasted away your “golden years”, turning 30 or even reaching your 20s doesn’t mean you’ve already passed the best years of your life. your teens and early 20s are most likely not going to be your peak. it’s okay if you haven’t had the big, life-altering coming of age story or life-changing trip by the time you’re out of high school or college. it’s okay if you haven’t blown up on content creation or haven’t had the opportunity to even start. as funny as some of the jokes can be, and as much as they’re meant to just stay jokes, it’s been shown that they’ve already had an impact on how some of the younger fans view aging and one’s lifespan, and i hope something can be done to counteract that at some point

#icarus speaks #like. society already has such a huge push on age #my roommate laments turning 20 bc they feel like they’ve already thrown their life away #i think the jokes are funny if you’re AWARE of these things #and know they’re untrue #but so many kids internalize it and it shows #anways. crumb set ranboo’s hotel on fire. i need to go point and laugh
