Itβs about how the pain of losing someone you really love is sometimes so unbearable and humiliating in spite of how mundane it is that you have to manufacture a psycho situation in your life that is so terrible it gives you permission to process your emotions.

At the end of the day, the tortured poets department tells the story of two deeply incompatible people bonded by the objective truth that no one else will ever understand them quite the way they do. That is the true grief that fuels TTPD.

Dipped in here to see reaction to Carson Nobel β a series of very silly rote culture war execrations. X also seems to have invented a new figure, the subliterate literary influencer/grifter. Anyway, this is from Carson's sublime Isaiah sequence. It's great.

like odysseus, i too am constantly getting myself ensnared in plots and ploys of my own making and working my way out by grit or grift only to arrive at another impasse that tests my mettle and taxes my wits until at last i escape again and lurch home where yet more trials await
