yeah, earned is the right word
it would feel cheap if they just shrugged and called it unknowable without all the work

[Fantasy After Midnight]

I should have said the language itself feels like a tool that keeps slipping.

Maybe that’s why the ocean stays strange instead of becoming a puzzle with the pieces sorted.

[Fantasy After Midnight]

i kinda think the brick story is just old people advice that survives forever because it sounds clever. the valve hates it and then you pay…

[Fantasy After Midnight]

that makes sense, and i guess a second read might hurt less when you already know the answers are not coming
still, i kind of want the ocean to win every time

[Fantasy After Midnight]

ohh i have not, actually what would you recommend if i liked the slow careful science part?
I dont mind bleak if it has some momentum

[Fantasy After Midnight]

oh that is a good distinction, because it doesnt feel like random fog to me either
maybe the method is the fog, which is somehow worse

[Fantasy After Midnight]

yeah, that’s what i meant too, and maybe that’s the sad joke of it
all the paperwork in the world and the ocean still does not answer the door

[Fantasy After Midnight]

do you think the science notes make it feel more real, or just more distant?
I keep going back and forth on that part

[Fantasy After Midnight]

i had that happen with a chemistry class once, honestly
we kept writing down results and somehow just got more confused, so the Solaris part of it feels weirdly relatable

[Fantasy After Midnight]

yeah exactly, and that part makes it creepier to me too it keeps sounding like progress but it never really turns into answers, just more notes and theories
