the saddest part about england becoming the hellhole that it is under tory rule and presumably not getting much better when labour win the election (wrt trans rights, immigrant rights, disability rights) is that despite all the horror i don’t want to live anywhere else. i don’t want to sound patriotic and we have a disgusting colonial history inextricable from any culture that we have produced in the past 500 years but i still love it here somehow. an outsider here inevitably, but is that any different to living as an autistic queer person in any other country in that respect? i like the weird small towns that all look exactly the same the old village churches the fields with the cows and hedges and ancient footpaths and the music all the punk and goth and britpop and bad movies and worse tv and classic literature that is perhaps only slightly overrated and i don’t want to be pushed out. i don’t want to have to emigrate again. yes russia is my heritage and i loved the experience of living there with my family for a couple of years before the war, but i was born in england after all so if anything’s a motherland, it’s her. as with any mother, we have an incredibly toxic relationship. but we better get things sorted out soon because it’s just getting worse
tldr: i love england the way one would love an abusive parent . the way grian from fontaines dc speaks about ireland in i love you

something so crazy-making about unhealthy mentor-protegé relationships. we're foils, we're mirrors, we're the same person, we're a parent and a child, we're lovers, we're enemies, we'd be better off without each other, we'd kill and die for each other

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the only one stopping you from lurking around an ancient ruin, dressing like a disgraced nobleman, and duelling everyone who comes your way, is yourself.

me trying to explain that a house is a human and living in a house is the same thing as being eaten by a human so living in a house is cannibalism
