Who cares if you die?

( feel free to interpret that however you please, denizens of the EXTREMELY POORLY NAMED tranquility! all possible interpretations are acceptable in harry's current state of complete emotional breakdown. he probably doesn't care if any of you die, for instance, and may bitterly resent you for having an actual answer to this question.

who cared when norman died? who really cared. people mourned the man who'd contributed so much, but that man was an idea. an image carefully cultivated. harry knew enough to know better, but even he wouldn't pretend to have known his father, and who's going to care when harry dies? just like norman did.

harry's legacy is just disappointment and isolation. his best friend is his only friend and he's pretty sure they're totally not friends any more, also. everything sucks and he broke a bottle when he got back to his room and he can't be bothered to clean it up, he's just going to sit here and hate all of you, publicly and violently, and

you know, by text, because he looks even shitter than usual. )

[ No don't give him reasons to sympathize let him be angry. >:( ]

But it's not the same as caring. Was he famous?

Infamous, then.

Does it really matter? Who cares. They're alive and you aren't, it's best if they just move on.

[ Oh, personal details. Vague ones, but still not what he was expecting. ]

Neither of those sound particularly terrible. Obnoxious for the second one, maybe.

I'm guessing the ~ denotes sarcasm.

Not that many options, but I suppose it depends on where you're from.

Why'd you call him terrible, then?


[ He could hazard a few guesses. Brilliant minds, awful people, incredible liars. That feels too much like projecting, and he already let personal bias slip with that dichotomy. ]

[ So projecting, maybe, but also completely right. ]

How long have you known?

[ Did he lie to you, too. Putting it that way seemed a bit harsh. ]

It's true what they say about never really knowing someone. I guess family's no exception.

But if he was willing to sacrifice others, can't say I'd consider him someone worth impressing.

What was he trying to cure?

[ Bio isn't his thing, but he's spent enough time with Simmons to have gleaned enough. There's a slight delay. ]

Never heard of it. A problem with cellular reproduction? Is it contagious?

[ It only took this long to get an answer to his 'why', look at that. ]

Do you know how long you have?
technologist: (227)

[personal profile] technologist 2014-10-13 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sucks either way, I suppose, though knowing doesn't really help. Then again, neither does telling everyone to fuck off.

[ Maybe. ] Has it helped? Telling everyone they're wrong.

Yeah, it's funny, people have a habit of getting touchy feely when you tell them you're dying.

Not asking how you're feeling, just wondering if there's anything that makes any difference. Suppose you've already answered that.

[ It's so hypocritical it's almost amusing. But also: ]

Which one?

[ This entire post is people arguing with you, js. ]

And that's thoughtful, thanks, but the thing is I still care if I die. Thought maybe taking it out on other people was the secret I've been missing out on, but apparently not.
