Also I forgot to say that "he quipped" is almost definitely a leak from /tv/ making fun of Marvel movies.
It feels strange to be able to read this far into something that would just seem like poorly-constructed nonsense to most people. Reading TLoTiaT felt similar - every page is inundated with meaning that is literally completely incomprehensible to anybody who isn't intimately familiar with not only 4chan culture but the specific styles of shitposts native only to /lit/. There might be, what, 10,000 people on earth who cam actually get everything there is to get in that book? Less? And in 100 years, if any extant copies of the book still exist, the number of people who can really, truly grasp it will be zero.
Makes me wonder how much of everything I read is going way over my head. Fuck.

I'm fearful of how awful things have to get for myself if I actually want to be able to empathize with people who kill themselves from depression
