Jesus fuck that was upsetting
A lot more wholesome than I expected
Hans Christian Andersen wouldn’t have ended it there.
— Benjamin, grab your brothers, don’t let them take you!
— Ahhh!! Brothers hold me, hooold meee!
— Benjamin nooo!
— Forgive me son, they are about to…
— What are they doing? ×chhsk× AHHHHHHHHH!!!
— BENJAMINNN!!!
— AAAHHHHHHHhhhhhh…
Is that what you wanted?
Yup, much better than original.
Fuck that Disney shit.
Well fuck… now I’m gonna be sad every time I light my charcoal grill…
Really? I thought it was touching.
It was. But I have several boys off in college that I rarely hear from… just hits a little hard.
Ah. Understandable. My girl is sitting on my leg right now.
And she’s a cat.
But I get it.
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon
Yeah, okay Friar Tuck.
No, that’s catholic school.
Catholic school is very hands-on.

The older I get, the more I believe that life is really about enjoyment, not longevity. We are here to have fun and burn brightly, not live to be 120 years old and hate 50 years of it. Whats the point of busting loads against the wall for decades and doing nothing but surviving?
Societies marketing of long life is creepy AF. I’m in my 30s and all I can see is the negative of how the world works. To entertainment myself and ignore the harshness of reality just makes me want to leave sooner. It feels so cowardly to have to live so helplessly in a world you know is wrong.
I’m going to die tragically young at 137, too soon, but it’ll be super bright and fun

I bet there’d be different dialogue if the matches could feel pain.
I actually like this depiction because while it does anthrophromize inanimate objects, it also doesn’t at the same time. They’re matches, even if they were conscious, there’s no reason they would have the same philosophy and disposition as humans. From a human view this seems fucked up, but they’re not humans, not even animals, and therefore likely have no need for a survival instinct or aversion to dying, and similarly would also have no need to feel physical pain since that’s tied into the not dying thing, so they wouldn’t mind at all. They would most likely see this as completely normal and even honourable, and might even consider us cowardly and pathetic for being so averse to dying by bursting into flames. Their worst fear might actually be the prospect that they’ll be destroyed in some other, boring way, or worse, be forced to lay dormant forever, and therefore never get the chance to experience the glory of catching on fire. That might be what actually causes them pain and suffering which they are spared from by burning to death. In the same way that Klingons are depicted to hold dying in battle in higher regard than all other fates.
Basically matches are Klingons is what I’m saying.

Depictions of death as happy like this bother me because that’s generally how I feel about suicide (I’m safe, don’t worry, yada yada yada) and this still feels wrong somehow and those conflicting emotions fuck me up
Humans feel pain, but we don’t feel the oxidation happening in us constantly. I’d say it’s more about what you’re built for rather than strictly a concept of pain.

Oh, I thought it was gonna be a period joke.
Benjamin shouldn’t have been so weak and naive. A pawn to the game.
