Heh. Opposite to everyone here, I am pro-fireworks.

Once a year.

Bird deaths are sad thing but if it’s a planned thing once a year, people can shelter their pets and folk who are vulnerable can simply prepare. No harm done, honestly.

But oh my god do I want to murder wankers who proceed to shoot fireworks, often just under peoples windows, for weeks after that. Dear god am I feeling hateful for that.

And yeah, about why I like fireworks - they are pretty, feel amazing, are special occasion and overall, are fun. And yes, that’s literally blowing money into the air so I don’t do that much, but I still love them.

Edit: Oh, and when done en-masse, there’s something magical to them. Even awe inspiring.
