I've been back and forth a bunch for the past hour on if I should make this its own thread or if I should just post it in my "talk about your aspect" thread (https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/t/talk-about-your-aspect)
if you're reading this, then I made it a thread. wahoo.
so, a very essential part of Time is death, and I think about death a lot.
but people don't like talking about death! and that's fair, I can understand why. it's sad! it is simply quite sad when those we love die, that's obvious enough. and so thinking about it makes people sad, and there's a very avoidant culture about death and sadness in general that means that whenever I bring it up, I'm almost always reminding someone of something they've been forcefully ignoring for most of their lives.
and this sucks! I think people should, on the whole, spend more time processing their emotions around death. it makes the experience of thinking about it significantly less Explosive.
but I also am not going to be the one to make people do that, because that's not my job and it's not my place to inflict that on people. and while it is pretty easy to avoid talking about it, it does mean that I have like a LOT of thoughts about it that I just never have been able to share with anyone. and that sucks.
I'm not going to put those thoughts here (at least not right now because I should be sleeping), but I wanted to share this whole basic experience and ask...
do you have anything like this? are there things about your aspect that you feel like you can't discuss with people for whatever reason? what are those things? and, if you're brave, feel free to discuss those things in detail! put a content warning on it if necessary, but I really want to hear about your inner world! tell me your deep dark ~forbidden~ thoughts about your aspect

PEOPLE SEEM TO GET THE IDEA THAT RAGE IS AN UGLY THING. SOMETHING YOU HIDE, SOMETHING YOU CONTROL, LEST IT GET OUT OF HAND AND DESTROY SOMETHING. THEY DON'T SEE WHAT I SEE.
RAGE IS FUEL. RAGE IS PRIMAL ENERGY VESTED FROM THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF YOUR VERY OWN VESSEL, SISTA. RAGE IS EVERY BIT AS CONSTRUCTIVE AS IT IS DESTRUCTIVE. ONE COULD EASILY USE RAGE TO BREAK THINGS, BUT ANOTHER COULD USE IT TO SPARK MOTIVATION, DETERMINATION, SHEER WILLPOWER. ONE COULD USE THEIR INNER RAGE TO FIGHT, FIGHT AGAINST WHATEVER IT IS THAT OPPRESSES THEIR VIEWS, AND THROUGH THIS RAGE, THEY COULD SHINE BRILLIANTLY, FISTS BARED, SHAKING AT THAT WHICH DEFIES THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS. RAGE IS A WEAPON, AND LIKE ANY WEAPON, IT CAN BE USED TO ACHIEVE THINGS IN WAYS THAT SOMETIMES ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. HONK HONK :o)
Been thinking about this. Not so much my own classpect (I don't get the same one twice running!) as a couple of my characters. They've both been landed with "why the fuck am I like this?!" classpects which... yeah, I'm maybe working through some stuff there.
My Thief of Rage sees herself as a gentle, intelligent, shy person. Yet all the game cares about is the moment when she snaps and becomes an animalistic killing machine. Meanwhile, my Bard of Doom considers himself a player: cool, rational, always able to exploit the stupidity of normal people. But the game focuses on those moments when his impulsive side gets the better of him, usually with severe consequences for himself and the few people he cares about.
I'm autistic. I'm creative, mild-mannered and reasonably intelligent. I'm also a shambling ruin living in a series of disaters of my own making, and I get terrible meltdowns that have occasionally landed me in hospital.
