going to go back in time and kill whoever decided that a “good” story should start off relatively light and then get darker and more harrowing over time. this cultural expectation right here is the bane of my existence

@foolishowl @kasdeya from kas’ perspective, i think it would be the opposite: starts dark but gets better over time
