Damn.
Ok, here's what I need you to do:
Alter the timeline so that this isn't happening, then reply again with something that doesn't make me want to dissolve.
Dare I ask, what is "sora slop"?

As their actions bring them fully into the fantasy, they must dissolve it to escape. But fantasy dissolved back into reality is always a nightmare.
One of being burned alive, the other of becoming a prisoner of desire unsated. Both trapped forever.
The fantasy is one of a reactionary past, as inaccessible and terrifying as it is seductive.
Our heroes cannot stand this, and go about trying to bring it to an end.
They do so all the while becoming trapped within it.
Right here's the thing, The Wicker Man and Local Hero are the same film, but from different perspectives.
In both cases a reluctant virginal man is sent into an enchanted realm of fantasy, to discharge a duty that will end it.

The exact thing we all said about capital and fascism is happening yet again, and it's unbelievably boring and mundane and obvious. Despair.

I get very little attention or traction with any of my art, and I accept that for what it is- unpopularity- and move on. However it can be rather depressing.
Thanks!
