The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

Szulitya, Wolf of the Court

Illustration of a character from The Wildercourt, the graphic novel I’m (slowly) working on. Szulitya is a tertiary character, but she’s a lot of fun to write and draw.

why didn't ar ever announce hikaru as their exclusive model? they basically already use her as an exclusive model lol

its so bizarre! i mean on the upside, she has featured on other magazines like seventeen and ray because she doesnt have the exclusivity contract. but also there is a lot of pros in being able to say that you are an exclusive model so its a bummer!

Demotivated Sanrio characters

don't you think kosakana has kind of become hinata's techi? not in the sense of the eternal center thing (thank god), but ever since she came back from hiatus she barely appears on hina ai, hasn't been on hina choi at all, sometimes she randomly won't perform on music shows or songs in concerts without any explanations. i noticed that apart from seventeen and sony sanpo she barely has any jobs too, even though that skiing movie she was in was fairly successful. i hope she's ok

oh i think i get what you mean? like mgmt allows them to take breaks often

i think this is one thing that is generally positive. like clearly they have a lot of fans who want them to stay in the group, but these activities could be very draining so appearing isn't mandatory for them

i hope she's ok too! but if the absences are her choice then im glad that she's allowed to take that time to rest. it gives the opportunity for other members to shine too, so i think its generally a positive

is ikeda teresa really fully japanese? she looks so wasian to me

As far as we know, yeah! I thought she was initially mixed but I’m also not surprised that she’s not? Asians could have all sorts of features

are YOU going to buy maimai's 2nd pb?

Im on a PB buying hiatus LOL

Maybe when I clean my room and find space again… cause I’ve heard really good things about it!

It might be too early to ask, but at this current moment, what song do you think represents Sakurazaka46 the best? Like the 1st song you would recommend to anyone?

Oofff

I think BAN as a song represents them best. But if I were to show a video it would be Nagaredama! And if I need to get them interested based on 1 photo, I would send them the thumbnail of Masatsu Keisu haha

I just discovered that the man who directed Keyakizaka's doco in the same one who directed that famous AKB documentary from 2013

Ooooh now that you mention it!

death looms

Is Ikuchan the most successful graduate in getting rid of the "former Nogizaka46 member" label? Naachan is probably the most successful graduate overall, but in this particular matter I believe she's still associated with th group to a certain degree kinda like Acchan in AKB.

Well, to be honest the ones who probably best got rid of the label are the ones whose post-grad career surpassed their Nogi careers... so basically the two announcers LOL, Ichiki Rena and Saito Chiharu.

But as for your question, it's interesting! I do feel like the Ikuchan articles i've seen stopped referencing her as a Nogi grad so often, but MAYBE it is because she isn't under Nogi LLC while Naachan is? If Nogi LLC still tries to tie Naachan's name to Nogi, then that would definitely affect that impression. Meanwhile, I feel like Ohta Pro have been making a conscious effort to not reference Nogi...

Sakamichi best generation?

hmmmmm objectively, maybe nogi 1ki?

for me keyaki 2ki though.

other strong gens would be hinata 2ki and nogi 5ki
