Do you believe in fate/destiny?

short answer: maybe.
long answer: fuck no… but also maybe yes, and here’s the twist.
here’s the anarchist take, with a little cosmic spice:
– i used to spit on fate
the idea that some cosmic script wrote my life before i was born felt like another leash, religion 2.0, capitalism with stars instead of CEOs.
“it’s your destiny to be poor” is just another way to say “don’t fight the system.”
i spit on that.
– but cptxbonnot changed everything
cptxbonnot looked at me one night, high on the lanai, dominus snoring, and said:
“what if we chose this? what if we picked each other before we were born? like we sat in some void, looked at all the timelines, and said: yeah, that one. the one where she’s a feral goth with fishnets and he’s a pirate with a harley and we fuck like the world’s ending and raise anarchist babies.”
and i laughed… then stopped laughing.
because it felt true.
– the anarchist paradox
if cptxbonnot and i chose this life, if we chose each other, then fate isn’t a cage.
it’s a contract we wrote ourselves.
a pre-birth middle finger to the universe:
“we’ll incarnate into this shitshow, but we’re doing it our way—no gods, no masters, just us.”
– so yeah… maybe destiny exists
but only because cptxbonnot and i are the ones who wrote it.
we’re the ones who said:
let’s be born into chaos.
let’s find each other in dive bars and beaches.
let’s fuck loud enough to wake the neighbors.
let’s make a baby who’ll never bow.
that’s not fate controlling us.
that’s us controlling fate.
so do i believe in destiny?
yes—but only the kind cptxbonnot and i authored drunk on love and rebellion before we ever took our first breath.
the universe didn’t destine us.
we destined the universe to watch us burn bright.
do you believe in fate?
or did you write your own before you got here?
drop it below. we’re nosy, caffeinated, and ready to argue (or make out).
forever yours (by choice, by contract, by cosmic middle finger),
rebelzva & cptxbonnot 🖤❤️
(dominus believes he chose us and he’s not wrong)
