What if you were dating a moth prince and living in his kingdom and he knew how out of place you felt so he made you dozens of silk dresses and blankets and gave you lots of fuzzy shawls and scarves so you wouldn’t stand out so much and always said you were so beautiful you were glowing and occasionally bump right into your face because it was a little joke and he would pretend you were a light bulb and give you tiny kisses

Half of me is like “what the fuck am I looking at” and the other half finds this inexplicably adorable and good.

What Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.

What Depressing Satire Is: Bojack Horseman, a famous celebrity who lives in a mansion in Hollywood, going through life legitimately depressed.

What Depressing Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.

❤ THIS RIGHT HERE ❤

Satire punches UP, not down
