Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.
“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” ~ Rachel Carson
The plot twist of Cinderella is that Cinderella is actually sweet and good and hasn’t been using her deliberately-cultivated mouse infestation to acquire enough rat poison to slowly kill her step-family over the course of several years by baking it into their morning scones or some shit. Biding her time as they get weaker and weaker, and thereby even more dependent on her assistance (and easier to subject to a multitude of other substances), until the doctors are baffled by the myriad symptoms and ineffectual treatments.
Then when the corpses are burned after her step-family dies of some mysterious disease Cinderella just weeps in relief-feigning-grief and dabs their ashes on her cheeks, vindicated in her justifiable homicide. The sole surviving inheritor of her family’s estate, no longer subject to the abuses of her relatives, or in danger of losing her family’s remaining holdings.
So in conclusion I guess Cinderella is a much better person than I am and I wish her all the best with marrying up.
It’s surreal that “if we take away the thing making people grovel for their lives, then how are we going to make them grovel for their lives?” is an honest to god argument that more than half of the us population finds compelling
“If we end hunger, then how will we be able to threaten people with the specter of starvation?”
“If we guarantee housing, then how will we be able to exploit them under the threat of homelessness?”
