Me: huh Johnny Mnemonic’s NAS, X-Men’s Legacy Virus, and Sewer Gas & Electric’s virus that kills all (non-green eyed) black people to awkward shrugs were all ways of processing the AIDS crisis, huh

Also me: yeah so was that Star Wars EU novel where someone is left for dead with a terminal infection but his Jedi lover loves him enough and is a daydream fantasy enough she can go into a trance by his bed for days and drag it out of his blood piece by piece by force of will
