never quote and never do that thing where you post a song with the same title as the thread.And never ever ever quote. Never. Just don't do it. It's a disgusting habit.
"compelled" is the key isn't it, suddenly you have to have an exciting/dangerous adventure. it's happens right at the start of the invisiblesIt's a typical trope in children's literature/fantasy that the hero is reluctantly dragged out of their pit by Gandalf or whoever and compelled to have an exciting colourful life.
Corpseys avatar is, it's not really a pit, it's worse
Rock closing in around you, forced onto all fours, bestial
Desperate screaming eyes.
Can be a strange satisfaction in the pit tho as well sometimes. Wallowing in your filth. Something comforting in the degradationThat picture for me is the best evocation of that. I've always been horrified by it. It's very real.
isnt that the pit?I don't do it so often these days, but I am in fact doing it today and I love it. In bed all day, had last night's takeaway for breakfast, cheese and Olives for lunch, crumbs all over the place. No shower proper stink. watched a documentary on the laptop that I fell asleep to. Slowly watching it get dark outside. Lovely restful thing to do once in a while.
