I’m at the tragedy.
I’m at the comedy.
I’m at the combination tragicomedy.

Mageboy has no name.
He's a wizard, a war criminal, and a devil who longs to die a saint. He's not so much doomed to die tragically as he is determined to.
Mageboy is a fiction fantasy tragicomedy podcast now streaming. When the court sorcerer is framed by the church and executed for dark magic, his orphaned protégé commits to a life-long quest for revenge.

"The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh. Let us not then speak ill of our generation, it is not any unhappier than its predecessors."
— Pozzo, Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett

Here is my (spoiler!) take on the allegory...
Dog was lonely so he strangers-to-friends (well, bought) Robot. They had a good relationship. But Robot had health issues (low battery) that left him incapacitated and Dog had no clue how to solve the situation, except to wait till 1st June to reunite with Robot again.
Dog went on to form new relationships, while Robot was left to deal with his situation alone. Robot encountered people who at first seemed helpful but actually broke him further, until he was completely broken. Racoon found him, put him back together, and they formed a relationship.
Dog tried to find Robot on 1st June but Robot was gone. So he found (bought) another Robot, more cautious with new Robot this time.
Robot is happy with Racoon but spots Dog with new Robot. He is conflicted about reuniting with Dog. He decides to let things be. Both Dog and Robot continue on with their new happy lives.
WOW, what a story! It’s listed as a tragicomedy, but I don’t think there is anything tragic about the story. It’s a valuable life lesson, worth all the attention it’s getting now, from the Oscars. MUST WATCH!
Robot Dreams is a 2023 Spanish-French animated tragicomedy film written and directed by Pablo Berger. It is based on the 2007 comic of the same name by Sara Varon.

Boreout, adhd and post-traumatic stress: the unholy three of doom, accompanied by their adjacent package "social ineptitude", including social anxiety and autism
Oh, and don't forget chronic fatique and pain, additionally to the package "chronic unemployment", including financial poverty, boreout booster, anti-self-esteem-effect, social isolation booster etc etc...
What kind of shit did I order here?
Can I return that?

Sprinkling tragedy into your comedy and comedy into your tragedy for a little added something something of je ne sais quoi before I do an exaggerated chef’s kiss and sweep gracefully out of the kitchen👩🍳
