inspirational speeches are always lame
except in moVies
and sometimes eVen then
mostly cause theyre always to a theme of 'life doesnt suck the good guys always win and you can do anything if you just belieVe in yourself and try hard'
and none of that shit is actually grounded in reality
and people know it
but hey ill grant you than more realistic speeches like 'life is hard and death is the only guarantee youll eVer get but giVing up is eVen worse'doesnt exactly wow the crowd
so like i said
i dont disagree with the message

lemme giVe you a little adVice for free though
yeah im a troll
and most of us are realists at best
pessimists at worst
the optimists are kind of a rare and special and frankly inexplicable breed
there was way too much culling and danger and classist oppression in troll society for anyone to seriously belieVe shit like 'things will work out' unless theyVe got some serious reality denial going on
and now our entire society is gone
along with our planet
so yknow
more cheerful facts
like
i know we actually haVe cheerful optimistic trolls in our session
like nikkal and aVispa
but i legit haVe no idea how a troll could eVer actually GET like that

so bottom line
im all about not giVing up
but you may not want to waste your time trying to sell any troll who isnt already weirdly cheerfully inclined on the optimism angle
its not really common in our species
for Very good reasons
