>>56654417>Can I ask why Autumn is so rough?It's nothing too dramatic, really, but I'll play it up for a laugh. I'm a summer fae. To me, Autumn heralds the ending of a year and the passage of time in all the worst possible ways. Life wanes, the days grow shorter, the vibrant colors of yesterday's natural tapestry are reduced to a sea of dull brown. Driving anywhere responsibly becomes an exercise in anxiety. Is that a living creature bounding across the road or is it just another leaf on the wind? As we struggle for purpose in life, what greater insult is there than the simple act of raking leaves? Your precious dwindling hours of daylight are invested in doing yardwork, and all of your efforts are rendered completely futile for you to do it all again the next day. And the next day. And the next, until in all its uninvited obstinance, winter arrives to blot out the sun and smother the world in cold, grey death for the next five months. Autumn is the decay before stagnancy, it's the very antithesis to life itself.
Oh yes, how I've come to hate Autumn.
