Anonymous asked: yeah tfios has its issues but romanticizing cancer is not fucking one of them. speaking as someone who has had both parents die of cancer, it's the closest I have seen to a realistic depiction of how cancer actually affects people, in contrast to the average, pervasive media sobstory focused squarely on neutered "tragedy" (i.e. all sadness no pain, and god forbid a victim ever be happy in any way other than selfless joy). it's important for that reason, if nothing else
