sorry to say this. I don't know enough about Japanese infrastructure but i think the main reason universities in America do that isn't because they think suicide is the problem to solve and not the symptom. it's so they don't get sued.

(though some people in the notes have pointed out that it's not entirely pointless either, which is something, at least)

I guess what I think is that suicide is a symptom of a problem and not the problem to fix, you know what I mean? To stop suicides you have to stop people’s mental health from getting to the point where they consider it, you have to treat the disease, trying to treat the symptom itself is almost completely useless.

For instance, Japan has spent a great deal of money on anti-suicide infrastructure, doing genuinely cartoonishly things like putting rollers on bridge railings so you can’t climb over them and slide right off, putting blue lights in the subway so it’s harder to see to throw yourself in front of a train. It’s not working. Japan’s suicide rate rose again in 2022. They are not addressing the root causes and stressors in their citizen’s lives and social barriers to mental health care and psychiatric medication.

It’s the same with universities in America, many have spent an exorbitant amount of money on turning their dorms into psych ward like environments. Anti-hanging chairs that you can’t stand on, bunks you can’t hang yourself from, slanted doorknobs etc. And yet suicide is still the second leading cause of death for college students. They make no attempts to make college easier, to make pausing and resuming your studies better, to make the pressure of an academic environment feel less life or death. They make no accommodations for the individual. They just make it a little harder to hang yourself in a few rooms on campus and call it a day, say they’re being proactive in terms of mental health.

#we weren't negligent we did so much to make sure they can't kill themselves on campus !#and well when they are off campus we basically dont have a duty of care anymore #sorry for the grimness #my shit #tw suicide #suicide mentions #then again like. i don't want this to be some fucking edgy grim thing #it does work to some extent and there often are genuinely groups that are trying their best and want to help! there is support available!#the problem with mental illness is that it locks you in your own head sometimes. even if there is help available.#like it is tricky. after all depression rarely arises from one source.#but uh #listen i will always be here to point out how institutions often care more about the capital than the people #sorry

u guys liked my yokai watch au a lot more than i thought u guys would ?? holy shit?? thank u guys sm ??

as promised though here’s yuu (+ grim!!) :D

As mentioned before, Yuu and Grim are both yokai in this au !!

Yuu is the ghost of a young aspiring photographer who mysteriously died in his teens. Back when he was alive, he considered Grim to be a mischievous stray cat, not knowing he was simply a yokai in disguise. Their backstory together is still in the works, but this is what i have as of rn ^^

story wise their roles are kinda similar to that of Whisper n Jibanyan in the sense that Yuu is adeuce’s first introduction to yokai and grim is essentially Resident Asshole Cat 😭😭

when it comes to their human disguise and their usual yokai form, there aren’t a lot of visual differences to take note of tbh. The main key differences would be the cane and the pants. While in disguise, Yuu’s pants don’t have the little tears at the bottom, but they are more likely to be seen with the cane due to a previous leg injury when they were alive

while in yokai form however, the cane is mostly rlly an aesthetic choice. Despite this, Yuu does occasionally feel similar phantom pains in both forms

On the other hand, Grim in disguise looks like a regular cat save for the faint blue coloring of his ears and the split tail !! Yokai grim is honestly just regular grim though tbh…….
