ideal apocalypses

if we got the news that a meteor will destroy earth like within the next two weeks, the first thing on my bucket list would be to do weed.
i fantasize about the end of the world a lot because it is literally my dream manner of dying. so ideal to me. the majority of my playlists are built upon some form of 'the world will be over soon' concept, whether figuratively or literally. it's just that i want to die! and i'm saying this in the most objective, least depressing way possible. death is just something i am looking forward to. i'm sorry if that sounds mentally ill. i am, but that is not what this is about. anyway, i desperately want to kill myself before i get old, but then the fomo strikes. hmm, i think, what if finally initiate my elaborate plan of spreading out and setting off every nuke in the world? but, as it turns out, i'm evidently too lazy for that. i don't even like traveling. or talking to people, for that matter, if i wanted to make contacts and acquaintances who would help me with it. what i'm saying is: a total apocalypse would be the most definite way i'll be sure i won't miss out on anything interesting when i go. if i'm dying, everyone else better come down with me, bitch.
7. plague. boring. slow. probably not even thorough, because who knows how some people's immune systems are built, anyway. plus, anti-social people exist.

the interesting things in question include:
- 7tob reunion (someday!)
- onf lorebook
- more of onewe's space saga music
- seeing svt live
- kijung permanent debut in a non-nugu group
hmm. there is not much that interests me nowadays. i'll add more when i think of them. but those are some of the reasons i'm still here.
*criteria is—loosely—convenience (how easily and quickly everyone would die), thoroughness (how close it can get to wiping out the entire and total human population), and how happy i would be in that circumstance. there's probably more obscure types of apocalypses i'm forgetting about, but there's probably a reason i'm forgetting them. (because they're boring as shit. plague would fall under that category; in fact, it was not even on this list in my original priv twt thread. i only added it impulsively because it reminded me of the funny video project i made on the bubonic plague in 10th grade, so i have a soft spot for it. but i still roast it to hell as it deserves anyway.)
1. meteor impact. the bigger the better, of course. best if it cracks earth in half and destroyed every piece of livable land on this planet possible. second best if it wipes out the majority of large living species, though that may prove to be difficult, because knowing humans, some scoundrels will find a way to survive in a bunker, but whatever because the world will hopefully be inhabitable by then anyway. they can die their slow and agonizing death if that's what they want. back on topic: i'm for total and thorough annihilation, like the dinosaurs 2.0. instant and clean. not even the cockroaches survive. perfect. preferably, i'd be near the epicenter and get vaporized instantly, because getting consumed by a tsunami or heatwave seems less convenient. i want to see the asteroid get bigger and bigger in the sky everyday... i would be so elated. let me go rewatch that kurtzgesagt video about the day the dinosaurs died, minute by minute.
2. any other astronomical catastrophe, such as a massive solar flare, nearby star goes supernova, black hole (even if that's unattainable in my lifetime. please just let me dream), etc. it's quite convenient, for there's nothing humans can do about it for the most part—only second because it's arguably a slower death, assuming that the meteor in first place is one that actually obliterates the planet. it's actually a very close second, since it's pretty much just as ideal for wiping out life. and i love space. no need for a further explanation, i think. anything to do with us giving into the fate of the cosmos has my heart exploding and my eyes going starry as i think about it. perfect, part two.

3. zombie. lower on the convenience scale because getting your flesh ripped off and having to undergo a seemingly painful zombifical transformation is discernibly not an agreeable way to die. (what if you don't even die? what if becoming the undead means you die and come back to life, but clearly not yourself? even worse. i want to die for good, please.) but, hey, i wanna live out my hot zombie killer girlboss era for like at least 15 minutes before i get tired and shoot myself. plus i'm sure my family will be more understanding of this decision under this situation than, say, normal life. no matter how much i want to kill myself in real life, they won't let me. hopefully a zombie apocalypse will be able to change their mind. god, i pray my mom and dad won't be one of those zombie movie protagonists who continue to try to survive, like please, think about it. what the hell are you trying so much for. calm down. you want to become traumatized for what? i will never understand.
4. alien invasion. very cool, but knowing humans, we'll put up a fight and that will be annoying. plus, if we win against the aliens? there won't even be an apocalypse. or what if they torture us? that won't be fun either. i know i said i'll love any end given by space, but the technicalities of this one are too... complicated.

5. artificial intelligence. again, very cool, but it'll definitely be a hassle with humans continuing to try to fight back. it's also easier for people to hide and avoid getting killed, or fool the systems, so it's not very thorough.
6. nuclear. not a fan of manmade ones (as in, directly caused by humans trying to kill each other—so not including zombies and artificial intelligence). feels fake to me. plus most people will probably end up cooped in a bunker, myself unfortunately included, and my family would not let me kill myself. and i won't be able to stand it. and it would be terrible and the whole point of this list was so i can die, die, die, die, die, excitingly and easily. and imagine the political headache i would see on twitter before it happens. ugh, getting irritated thinking about this one... next!
