like, it’s still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you’re not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it’s largely the same as last year. except you’re getting older.
I feel like you see a lot more of the whole “fat ugly dude wins smoking hot woman because he is smart and funny and kind to animals” trope than the opposite. In fact, I can’t really think of a single example of the inverse other than… Shrek? And even that’s a stretch.
