#idk if i should post this

hey guys

[v-67]

Sleep deprived thoughts 101 idk?

So in the reality, in the actual world which consists of no superheroes w crazy powers

The people who are crazy rich are equivalent to the rich superheroes (i.e maybe batman?) w/o the element of justice to them (and maybe their parents not being killed off)

So at this point it would be nice if one of those guys just pulled a gag of dropping hints that he's batman and they have enough power to pull this off by manipulating newspapers to publish rubbish articles about themselves? Or even just Instagram bullshit? (Now that I think about it, maybe someone might have done this lol) (But it should be someone so influential that it breaks the boundaries throughout the world, everyone, like every one should be talking about it kinda thing)

So they can just make up something, something really really obscure superhero thing and for legal purposes add that this is a bit or something if it wasn't clear enough

And then another billionaire would join in and it would be like a funny thing going on about who actually is batman

While DC would sue them both by some legality loophole and they'd settle the matter or pursue the legal battle

So DC would be like their antagonist?

And they'll keep paying DC off because they're so rich and all that

And it would be so funny

And DC would still not come up with a good movie with all that money (no hate, just a joke)

man I was just hit with intense pangs of feeling about desiring men and being attracted to their bodies but at the same time my feelings about my own body and how I feel like it could never be reciprocal uh.

On the one hand, yes.

On the other hand, this is a true story as someone who HAD squirrels in their walls in the US.

See, we rented that house. We couldn't repair it ourselves. We were just broke college students, what did we know?

"Landlord, there are squirrels in the walls."

"Well, I checked the outside of the house and I can't find a hole. Are you sure there are squirrels in the walls?"

"YES! I'm sure! Except they might be cats or raccoons or some shit cause I can't see them but I can hear them THERE ARE DEFINITELY ANIMALS IN THE WALLS."

"Can't fix it. Sorry."

Flash forward a few months later...

"Landlord, there's a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the living room."

"I'll get right on that." And he does! He comes over, and he rips a hole in the living room ceiling, and he does a fix, and says, "test that and let me know if it still leaks."

He doesn't patch the hole, of course. Cause if the leak still leaks, he'd just have to rip out the patch.

And no, the first time doesn't fix the leak. Neither does the second or the third.

And meanwhile, I get home one day and the first thing I see is the tank where I keep my pet mice, and the bag of peanuts I keep behind it as a treat for them, AND A WHOLE ASS FUCKING SQUIRREL CHOWING DOWN ON THE PEANUTS. IN MY FUCKING HOUSE. because now theres a hole in the wall, AND a hole in the ceiling, and the squirrels were in the walls and apparently the ceiling too so now they just have the run of the place.

We got bats, too.

And we lived with that hole in the ceiling for OVER A YEAR.

And look. Now I'm 40. I look back and I say, why didn't we just fix the ceiling hole ourselves? I could do it now, easily. I do much more complicated repairs on current home. But I was broke and I was 19 and I'd lived in rentals my entire life and it was the landlords RESPONSIBILITY to fix this shit!

And the squirrels weren't so bad. It didn't happen often. It's not like we could afford to move, any other place we found would be either more expensive or have a worse landlord. Cause yes, our landlord was actually pretty chill. He came at 11 pm on Christmas Eve one year to help with our furnace. He let us get months behind on rent when we couldn't afford to pay and never started eviction proceedings. I mean, where else would he find a bunch of tenants willing to live with squirrels?

(The answer was, he couldn't. A few years after we moved - school was done, time to head elsewhere - the house was condemned. Last I checked it was still a vacant lot.)

I lived in that shithole for 4.5 years. And while some of the issues I could have fixed myself, if I had the right tools and know-how (I could have fixed the ceiling) others I couldn't have without help (how could I safely, alone, have checked all the walls and roof for the place where the squirrels got in? And then fixed it when I couldn't even afford to live some place that didn't suck?)

So as I said. I get it. I get why people outside America see us this way. And I get that there are people inside the US who are like this, who actually want the squirrel. And I get that what op wrote is a metaphor.

But my story isn't a metaphor. I'm not making this up. This literally fucking happened to me in an actual rust belt city in the actual US, when I was as liberal as you could want but I was also still a kid. I was barely 18 the first night I spent in that house. I'd never lived somewhere before that didn't have a competent grown up in charge. Even though at least some of these problems WERE actionable by me at the time, I had my own problems and struggles and I also just had no idea what I was and wasn't capable of at the time.

So I'm glad you chose this metaphor, op. Because yes, it's an apt one. But it also makes it extremely easy to demonstrate that actually some of us HATE having squirrels in our walls, but it's not something we have the time, equipment, money, clout, ability, skill, etc., to change ourselves.

And so we're just fucking stuck living with squirrels in the walls.

Imagine inviting someone to your home as a guest and you're settling in and they say "wow, your squirrels are so quiet!" and you have to pause and ask them what the fuck they mean. The squirrels in the walls. How do you keep them so quiet and out of the way? Still not quite comprehending what you're hearing, you ask them to repeat that. Why would they think you've got squirrels in your walls.

And your guest frowns in equal confusion, incredulous that you don't have squirrels in the walls. LIke, at all? Then something clicks together in their mind and they go "oh, you do the same thing as [mutual friend] does? Patching up the wall thing? So it actually works?" and it takes you a minute to process that they don't seem to actually believe that not having holes big enough for a squirrel to get in through actually leads to not having squirrels in your house.

You verify that yes. Everyone else has fixed the squirrel problem by patching the walls. Everyone else but they actually patches the walls, and nobody else but they keeps having the squirrel problem. They're the only one who does that instead of patching the wall. Your guest is insulted by your tone, insisting that it can't be that simple and that it's completely unrealistic to always keep your walls patched or to never have a squirrel in your house ever. Everyone has a squirrel in the house sometimes. You won't win this argument.

And that's what it's like to talk with americans on the internet.

Lae’zel is killing me because she’s like such a freak in so many ways and like we literally beat the shit out of each other and she’s so fucking into it and horny about it and I can push her down in the middle of camp after and just make out with her in the mud and blood from our fight in the middle of camp, and she is like soooo into it

But I ask her to just kiss me in public and she’s like “no I’m shy” and immediately turns into this 🥺

I love her

satoru would grow to be one of those old people who die of heartbreak after you pass away :< not even a full year after your death and he’s following you straight to the grave :<<<

the house is all empty and quiet, he doesn’t do much anymore (he wasn’t anyway with his older age, but even less so now that you’ve died). satoru wakes up in the morning and it takes him a minute to get up before he just sits, stiff and lonely on his side of the bed, staring at his feet and dreading the start of another day. he wishes he could do his morning routine with you again.

he gets something small to eat like cereal because usually you were the one making the pancakes and eggs and sausages (sometimes he would “help”. aka sneak tastes of breakfast until you chased him away with a wooden spoon). he is silent as he eats, staring at your empty chair across from him at the table.

satoru sits quietly in the living room trying to distract himself with movies and tv shows (that you used to watch together. some he will now have to finish without you) and he ends up wasting another day doing nothing but trying not to think of you. at night, he prepares for bed, wishing he could do his nightly routine with you again, too, and then he lays down in a cold bed with a heavy sigh. and satoru cries himself to sleep.

him visiting your grave
