I wasn't here for a while, something like half a year. You people write a lot of good things, I spent many hours over the last day just catching up. There is a tone, though. This group has developed a writing style scaffolded around the more memorable voices and figures, and it's developed it's own cultural freight. I'm pleased about that and it's about time this thing felt, in the common parlance, legitimate. But I feel that something is missing from the cultural tapestry, after reading some of the choicer dialogues of the last few months. The concept of horrormirth originated here, as far as people who give a damn can tell, and I notice a lot of horror and less mirth. I sense that maybe you people have kept writing about the things you see, doing what you do (and doing it well), but maybe you've forgotten that this shit is funny. You know what I mean. It's not comedy, it's tragedy. To me that's what it was always about. Society is choking on a torrential deluge of the unwholesome effluent of unwell minds. That's the punchline sans joke that we live every day. There are other people that notice this, we're not unique in that quality. We're unique in that we can take a joke from Eris.
I'm not saying lighten up, I'm saying at least smile while you say this shit.
I really needed this today. Thanks.
