i wish there was a job you could get at art museums that was titled something like 'designated art imp' where your job is to trundle up jesterlike behind anyone looking at a piece and going 'this isn't art, this is bullshit' and be like 'hmmmmm! and yet it evokes such anger in you, my friend'. i would love to have this job.

Fellow writer/actor/editors, you ever write and record something and think "yeah, this is good, this is doing something," and then edit it and realize it's just the most wrenching thing?

Good news: you no longer hate the sound of your own voice.

Bad news: you can now break your own heart.

This is true: the Wolf is Death, The End, Endings.

This is true: the Authors have of late taken to changing the Wolf.

This is surmise: the Authors no longer see the value of Endings.

This is surmise: the Goose and Gander are trends, tastes. Sometimes our tastes turn to the grimdark and gritty, sometimes to the bright and hopeful.

This is true: something is preventing the Gander from moving on from the Neverafter.

This is surmise: something wants the Neverafter to remain in Times of Shadow and never know Times of Plenty. And the Authors never want it to End.
