#miranda continues to make beautiful art despite the hardships of her toxic relationships...

i read Station Eleven recently and I am a changed person. As a result we started watching mini series. Not done with it yet, but honestly I’m really upset with all of the changes the adaption makes. I am quietly internally throwing a tantrum. While I know adaptions are fundamentally different, and I know that no adaption could ever capture the sublime perfection of the novel, and I do love Jeevan and Kristen’s relationship, I am fucking never getting over the fact that the adaption has people living in solar punk dymaxion spheres/yurts in St. Deborah by the Water instead of motels and a 7/11.

#station eleven #currently #I JUST..... #the whole point of the book is that despite the ruin and emptiness and devastation all around you life & art continue #the juxtaposition of grimy ruin with the beauty of classical music and shakespeare is THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and that point diminishes when you romanticize the future and have everyone magically living in solar punk housing. #none of these motherfuckers are buckminster phillips they're just ordinary people doing their best to survive #miranda continues to make beautiful art despite the hardships of her toxic relationships... #the whole point is that she dies alone on a beach consumed by fever while staring at something beautiful #that's the point. #reading comprehension please! i'm begging you #mentioned this to a friend and they brought up annihilation and SO TRUE
