It's unique, it's simultaneously ambivalent but fatalistic, it's highly symbolic, melodramatic, the water of life is your cause of death, and it's nonviolent and preserves the body. All those wrapped together are Virginia Woolf.

>drowning
>it's nonviolent
i laughed out loud in the real world. drowning is one of the most painful ways to die and involves uncontrollable panic and muscular spasms in addition to inhaling massive amounts of liquid. imagine the pain of water shooting up your nose, x100

I meant nonviolent as in abrupt or disfiguring. It's a terrible way to die but it's not violent in the sense of a gunshot or jumping to your death.

You just drink it in massive gulps and shit it out. Then you can use the propellant of the fart force to launch you into supra-aqueous safety.

It's a silent death. For someone who devoted their life to crafting a voice to kill themselves by drowning is to literally silence theirself. Pretty poetic.
