what’s your ‘thing’ as a friend. i don’t mean like ‘oh im the mom friend’ i mean like what’s the Thing where if one of your friends was looking for a specific interaction they’d message you first. personally i can always be relied upon to get hyped about bugs, literature, and cursed internet images.
I feel like Cormac McCarthy understands a fact about the world which escapes most authors' notice, to wit that guns are really damn expensive, and they always have been, and a commodity being "available" doesn't necessarily make it available or accessible to *you*.
Whenever I see a period piece where everybody's absolutely loaded for bear with the best iron and brass available I always wonder who's footing the bill for all that.
