I may be partly to blame.
I'm sorry, what did we do? I just want to know so I can take the blame ... properly.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Daring to promulgate the possibility of happiness, I think.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Happy endings will not hasten the heat death of the universe. Just so you know.
THE TRIPTYCH CODA HAD A HAPPY ENDING!!!
Drat it.
So, for that matter, did Absolution.
My goth is showing again, isn't it?

Or maybe my influence. You always put them through so much pain. I try to poke and prod you to relative happiness.
Though your spin on happiness is not mine.

Dude, everyone dies. What's not to like? Besides, it's not like they all died alone. Sheesh.

The hope of happiness is what drags characters on through the hells we throw at them. I want no part of a universe that teases helpless creatures, no matter how lovely they are in their suffering.
Is that anti-goth? Or merely Uncle Goth?

No, that's goth too. Because while I can appreciate Ple's endings, I think I like Connie's universe better.

Eh. I think what I liked about Coda, and why I'm always going to think of it as schmoopy and happy is that they found a modicum of content in a world without hope.
Because ultimately, it's the whole death and taxes thing. The end is inevitable, it's how we face it that matters.

Bill, my friend, strange deeds are afoot at the Circle K.
Although, you know, it's hope that something good will come from the Big Fight that helps one fight it. Straight-up despair can be not only hard to live, but kind of dull to read.
