Does the west even make "healing stories"? Japan has pretty much made a whole genre of it, but I can't think of any stories from America or Europe where all the characters are respectful of one another and get along, nothing terrible happens to anyone, and the purpose is just to make the viewer/reader feel calm. Western stories are always centered around some sort of conflict, and at least in my public education I was never taught that a story can be written any other way.

In English class I was taught that a story can be centered around 5 types of conflicts: Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society, Man vs. Self, and Man vs. Technology. I won't say that stories in the "healing" genre never have these kinds of conflicts, but they're not necessarily ABOUT them either. These conflicts are decidedly NOT the concepts the narrative is centered around. They happen on the periphery. Sometimes they move the story forward somehow, but they're not there to make a point.

@mxsiege@octodon.social yeah, roommate is the colloquial term in the US and Canada despite the etymological dissimilarity because flat never really entered into our vocabulary

I've seen housemate used on rare occasion to differentiate from college dorm roommates but not with any regularity
