This Tragedy Has United Us All
What it does
Shared disappointment, now elevated into a formal operatic period of mourning.
Use it when
- A fandom loss hits everyone at once.
- A disappointing ending unites the whole audience in grief.
- A tiny misfortune deserves wildly disproportionate mourning.
For example
- The bakery sells the last cinnamon roll to the person ahead of you.
- A beloved game studio announces the servers will close in June.
- The family watches the repaired vase crack along the original seam.
