big thing about me with media is I have trouble engaging with something if I know all or most of the cast is for sure gonna die during or very soon after without much hope of survival. I really dislike "unavoidable end of the world" narratives they bum me out too much
this is kinda me subposting that dinosaur game I'm hearing about but it's mostly cuz everything else about it appeals to me but I just can't handle the idea of falling in love with a cast of doomed youngsters it'll break me
I'm a gal who thrives on hope because I used to be extremely prone to catastrophizing everything and feeling hopeless due to things like e.g. my educational struggles due to my ADHD; I had to learn to force myself to hope and to have optimism, as the only way I could cope. So it kinda bums me out when I see stuff that I know I would love everything about... except it'd crush me
this is also why I hate climate doomerism so much
