Cause Allie this the one time men are allowed to get in touch with their feelings with no judgement. It’s cinema to go out this way. Way better than dying behind the Arby’s dumpster with your pants down. No one wants to die like that.
When you clock out in the snow, have a smoke or swig from a flask or have in your hand a well loved photo of a loved one. Also have no ID, make it a mystery. Go out like a true boss.
Kinda like the Somerton Man although he died having a cigarette on the beach, leaving behind a coded message and a possible illegitimate child.
The original
Picture it, though: You’re a bad man and you know that one good deed won’t change that, even at the cost of your life - but maybe it’s enough to regain your soul. The wound doesn’t hurt any more and you know that’s a sign the end is coming but for the first time in years you feel at peace. Individual snowflakes are settling on your skin like chilly kisses as your eyelids get heavy.
What you mean by bad man? unless you’re committing war/ sex crimes… try therapy, drugs or changing your gender. It’s sad that people daydream about that but also kinda delusionally narcissistic, like in a way that could benefit from therapy or just talking to a single other person
I mean that bleeding out in the snow is a cinematic fate usually reserved for hardened killers who are fatally wounded in the process of redeeming themselves. The quiet of the scene reflects the silencing of their inner demons and they accept death with dignity and even a measure of grace.
I dig well-executed tropes.
Blade Runner 2049?
Listen, periods are not as glamorous as you’ve been led to believe.
Heck you want to freeze to death while bleeding to death? Maximizing suffering.
I’m sure the wound will just freeze closed right?
If I go numb, I can’t feel it right?
(not a dude, but still)
Good point, I think…
No, not at all.
It’s me coping with humor (or trying to)
You wouldn’t understand…
Oh fuck yeah that’s prime real estate
Too cold; blood’ll freeze and stopped bleeding.
The White Snow is a symbol of purity a Void of sin blood is the sacrifice for mankind a symbol as seen in the hit TV show Jesus Christ, this is a desire to sacrifice yourself for the sins of the world.
Mrs. R! I thought you had too much to mark before the end of the term! What are you doing schooling people online?
(/j)
I get paid more this way.
Ah if it isnt my high school English teacher
Soldier! Drop and give me 20 essays now!
I want to bleed out not on the bench, but just below it, my back propped up by the wood.
Is that Lady Snowblood? I still need to watch that
Is that the war-torn moon Europa?
