it’s really fucked how I, a childless full-time working adult on a fairly average wage cannot afford to buy a house or even an apartment in the city i was born (sydney australia). it’s fucked that a house in sydney today costs around 14 times my annual wage, when in 1995 (one year after I was born) the average house price was around 6 times the median annual wage. it’s fucked how i’d only be able to afford to buy a place if I shared finances with another full-time working adult (which i don’t), and that this is probably going to be a huge issue when I get towards ‘retirement age’ because the government basically doesn’t give a shit about you if you’re not a landlord with a nuclear family

I love your analyses so much! Especially the one about why bkdk and togachako aren't toxic. You really changed my mind on bkdk, so thanks for that!!
Awww you’re so sweet!!! Ty!
I feel like fandom has a habit of either exaggerating something, or straight up using the wrong terms because they don’t know what the term really is.
Toxic, abusive, etc are so wildly used for so many different things. And authors intent also gets lost in that. A story and it’s interpretations can easily be taken and malformed and destroyed. Prime example would actually be the first Matrix released in 1999. It’s a movie about trans identity, the allegory being confirmed by the authors years later, yet most people remember the matrix simply because of the “red or blue pill” scene, taking it as a silly joke.
So I feel like it’s really easy to get trapped in the whole “this ship is toxic” mantra, especially on platforms that aren’t tumblr. (Tumblr too ofc, but it’s easy to just find a post and create a new opinion since the algorithm isn’t necessarily built to keep you in an echo chamber)
And it also just feels toxic itself? It doesn’t promote critical thinking to just say “this ship is abusive”, especially when that word is so unbelievably watered down.
Going back to authors intent, if you told me “Yoon Bum and Sangwoo are toxic and abusive as fuck from killing stalking” I’d say, “no shit Sherlock” because it was from start to finish supposed to BE THAT WAY. (And anyone who says they aren’t I fully don’t trust you that was absolutely not the point of killing stalking) BKDK always falls into this toxic/abusive mantra because of the bullying and the general rough dynamic that Katsuki creates. And that’s stupid in my opinion. Most of its hatred is built off of people’s own experiences with bullying and a refusal to let a character grow and change when they have a trait they don’t like. For some reason people see mass murder or serial killers as more redeemable or better people than childhood bullying. WHICH THAT BULLYING???? MOST OF ITS RETCONNED NOW AND BASED OFF OF ASSUMPTIONS OF WHAT BAKUGOU ACTED LIKE.
The killing yourself comment he told deku? Literally retconned. I’m so done with that shit. Like I could attempt to tell these people why character development matters more than their stupid fucking opinions, but atp I’d literally rather just say “it’s retconned” because it fucking is.
Any opinions people have of togachako being toxic or something I’ve just straight up brushed off as misogyny. BECAUSE IF A MAN WAS IN THAT DYNAMIC… IF A MAN WAS THE HERO… IF A MAN FIXED HER EVERYONE WOULD FUCKING LIKE IT
Because people like when men fix women. But ochako doesn’t WANT to fix her. She likes the current toga. She just doesn’t want the murder. Good fucking day.

I think part of the reason I’m having such a rough time going full time is because I can’t escape. I have a LOT of hobbies but I don’t have any time to do them because in addition to full time work I’m above full time school. My hobbies are the main source of joy in my life. At the hardest times in my life I’ve always at least had fiction to escape into, it gives me a break from being me. But I don’t even have time to read, I feel like if I’m putting time into reading I should be reading stuff for school. And I need vitamin D desperately because the seasonal depression is incredibly strong and early this year and my main coping mechanism with that is to spend a lot of time moving and outside, so when I have free time I’m either doing that or spending time with friends and family

hey man. if you forwardly display that you’re a marketing company looking to hire someone for marketing
and if your preliminary interviewer states that the role primarily works with marketing and sales, coordinates marketing campaigns, and trains sales teams on them with a salary of 45-55k a year average
only for you to reveal in the second interview you are essentially hiring a store floor sales position with a base salary of 12 dollars an hour and everything else being commission from making sales on the store floor
well personally im thinking death penalty minimum

babygirls who’s ready for my analysis on season 3 Mike that’s a kinda new take from the two most common differing analysis’s we’ve seen (ie major internalized homophobia or oblivious and insecure) that combines both of them and also adds a third possibility? dropping anytime between tomorrow and the next several weeks 😎💅
