can't get food stamps if you're a full time student, have to be a full time student to get financial aid for school

I have mixed feelings about the episode!

If I hadn’t have gone online I would have been more of a blank slate. It’s good to know my criticisms are affirmed by others but it doesn’t mean this show is weak because even with the faults this episode was still entertaining at the very least. I feel crazy! Like some of my issues with the social commentary so far are dealt with—not remediated per se but addressed—or tended to.

The whole marriage thing isn’t a bad scenario typical of a BL imo because it makes sense. Patriarchy has everything to do with the hoarding of wealth. You have to make sure a woman has limited options for offspring to preserve a familial/blood line. Marriage is a business practice (it isn’t final or static but marriage and love are not interchangeable and “love” is a very specific goal that is hard to meet particularly if you are poor) and even if Rosé doesn’t want it, that’s how you secure capital…via legacy and literal financial bonds (presented as familial).

Rosé isn’t a good person. As much as Save is a bitch and Hope is…whatever he is (and agree with the user that said they should have kissed there!) the show is telling us over and over that THESE PEOPLE ARE POOR GUYS. THEY HAVE NO MONEY. I don’t know if the audience understands what that means fully. That means that Tattoo’s actions are not the same as Arun’s or even Joke’s; Jack’s poor decisions aren’t the same as Joke’s; Save is being absolutely insane and fucking ridiculous and wow I hate him but even his decision is not the same. You see how much hospital bills are, not having insurance, INSURANCE LITERALLY BEING TIED TO YOUR JOB AND THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. Things these people do not have, nor should not have to have, and the pains you go through to do everything right so the state says and you still get fucked.

That’s why the whole ~dOn’T sTEaL~ would piss me the fuck off! Jenny’s character makes complete sense! I know this is an easy way for us to express this idea of never being able to “get out” but poverty isn’t actually a cycle. Poverty is man made, it is not real. A cycle suggest something inevitable where an underclass would always have to exist, some sociogenetic defect that you just can’t beat and the cure (money) is just too hard to find (as in made up but never freely given). What makes that cycle relevant? Capitalism. This term has bred such reification i swear. It makes it seem like this is something they can GET OUT OF and BREAK on their own volition (with no direct action against the capitalist class/elites like you know…robbing them)

To be wealthy is to inhibit a class position, a social category, in which your livelihood depends on the subjugation of others. It’s obvious that Boss has limited money—and that dwindles—he relies on his boss. He is a manager, an inbetween, a boss but not The Boss. He is a cop essentially (cops have more autonomy tbh) to literally protect private property and collect and give to his bosses. They’re also all landlords and deserve to die.

Anyway there is no cycle as a real tangible thing one can take control of. There are people who choose their comfort and life over others and exploit to maintain, retain, and gain. ANY type of wealth hoarding is immoral. Richness is immoral.

Every single one of these people who suffer are in this position because of rich people. The monopoly was literal and exaggerated metaphor but rich people HATE and i mean HATE they LOATHE they resent disdain the poor. They hate you. They hate me and I’m not even poor! It is not a (referent-less) cycle! These are deliberate choices being made by others to make sure ppl stay poor—women, children queer ppl, darker ppl, the disabled…

If we focused less on the actions of those who have had to work in service of the pillagers and more on the pillagers and why the FUCK these people do this and get to do it, maybe Jack’s choices would make sense. Yes they are frustrating but I don’t necessarily think this is bad writing considering that Jack’s life could be made a living hell if he “got another job” which…ok but where? Who will hire him? How quickly will he make that money? With what skills when he has one very good one that could be used AND this money could be made immediately?

Are these particular choices stupid or do they exist in a broader story that is unfolding? Obviously this is a tv show beyond bl bc this episode was like completely story related and I enjoyed that. There was def some stuff where i was like wow this seems a bit rushed and it does seem like filler but it also technically isn’t…? If I’m thinking beyond what I would like to see with romance. If I think of it as more of s general show that is openly queer but that’s just the life of the show…then was this an outlier or does it fit? Even if it doesn’t I still get to understand more of what they think abt the world…? Idk i liked this episode i go back and forth! But it was a good way to spend my hour.

Also rose’s plan is fucking disgusting neoliberal drivel and insulting lmao when joke threw that all i could think of was bush and that shoe

my 3 fav cozy fun halloween watches that you can also watch

Winnie the Pooh, Boo to you too! also on archive .org!

- No stress - Heartwarming <3 - Tiger's song "I wanna scare myself" always a banger Probably the first halloween movie kid me ever saw, and still honestly my main go-to one. Visuals? Spoopy. Music? On point. Story? Friends wanting to spend halloween with their bestie no matter what. Piglet? Brave. Tiger? Relatable. Pooh? Wise and full of love. Goffer? Slaying. Eeyore? Zero energy and still trucking. Rabbit? A nervous wreck sobbing over his pumpkin patch. Perfect. We stan.

Hansel and Gretel (1987) also on archive .org!

- Family drama (is resolved) - catchy music! - i know some ppl can't stand child actors - THE DUCK LIVES - obviously food and eating are big plot points so yeah Is it a halloween movie? No. Do I care? Not with treats this good looking, music this catchy, vibes this cozy, or a witch this awesome. We've got haunted woods and kids eating sweets and then playing the best trick of all on the witch who wanted to eat THEM- that sounds halloween-y enough to me! Plus the witch's reveal is legit creepy. Make sure you have snacks for this one. Also, if realistic family drama due to the trauma of poverty isn't your thing, skip to after the kids run into the woods.

Shelly Dvuall’s America’s Tall Tales And Legends: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow also on archive .org!

- Low stress - Comedy as heck - literally feels like someone telling you a ghost story - AAAAAAAACTING!!!!! - there is a spider during the picnic scene THE CLASSIC! THE OG! MY FAV!!!! This was THE hallween movie to me as a kid- and now i completely get why! It's like watching a stage play where everyone LOVED every scene they were in- the vibes are spoooooky sometimes in an adorably camp way, and then charming and cozy the next! It has so much fun- there are so many lines that are memes to me- like ichabod THROWING himself into bed with "And if I......DIE... before I wake.... BRINGMEBACKTOLIFE!" and Katerina's eyerolling "....assuming I know the horse-" (it makes sense in context i swear) and and and the FUN of seeing Brom Bones 'crushing' a tankered angrily, acting out the strain of it, when you can clearly tell the prop is like, maybe the strength of a soda pop can XD.... But the best part is the stinger ending. How this whole story is ended with the sudden reveal of the REAL headless horseman (maybe?) and how THAT terrifying image is the last thing it leaves the watching kids with- it feels like that last jump scare at the end of a campfire ghost story, the hand reaching out to grab you for one final scream, and I love it. I love this whole thing so much.

Now.

If you DO want something spookier, but only in the atmospheric sense....

Whistle and I'll Come to You, also on archive .org - Slow building stress - Paranoia fuel - There is no way the main character is neurotypical (relatable) - a bedsheet ghost!!!!! YAY! - a few audio startlements but otherwise all gradual scares So this is based off a short story by an old not cool dead guy. It's about finding something in a grave and not heeding the warning label. I read the story years ago and was very pleased by the bedsheet ghost, the idea of feeling like Something Is Coming, and I can say that this adaption is... different, but does very good on setting up the vibes up until the ending. I'm bit let down by how the final bedsheet ghost turned out, and abrupt cut off to the story, but the vibes up till then is really fun to sink into. Some of the cinematography does a good job of making me aware of empty space, the feeling that Something I Can't See might also be in the frame. Spoooky.

you know what i’m sick and tired so i’m just gonna say it

at the end of the day your mental health isn’t worth your education or degree or the need to feel important in front of other people. you can become a doctor at 25 or get a scholarship into an ivy league school or rank top of your grade or be involved in a million extra-curriculars but it doesn’t mean shit if you’re unhappy and thinking about dying every day

who cares. literally no one on this planet does. go to college at 30 or 40. take as long as you need to finish your degree. don’t finish your degree. pack up your books and call it a night. take breaks. go out with your friends. get a couple of hobbies, spend a lot of time outside, start appreciating everything around you. be kind

if you enjoy working and studying hard, then good for you. but if you don’t, you owe yourself to take it easy. you’re allowed to be happy regardless of how much you achieve

yeah it feels good to be the prodigal kid who excels faster than others and gets into a top school or a high-ranking job, but that feeling is absolutely nothing compared to being content with yourself and mentally healthy. i wanna feel okay instead of smart

[pinkpruneclodwolf]

Ok I think the reason Decue see Yuu as a leader of there band of merry band.Hes still has a delinquent impulsive wal trying to be a good boy.Yuu is a safe bet,there the most morally good out of all of them.Along with they seem to care deeply for everyone no matter what.Damn I wanted to hold Ruggie for what Leona was doing to him.

Do you think Deuce ever last out at Yuu.No one can change overnight.He has said he used his magic over others.Maybe there both having a bad day and it escalated from there.

Also to the trey post,he could be a little bit on the Mad hatter,that damn fordora gives him away.All of the cast share personality with other characters not just the villain's hell.Riddle and Ace share character traits with Alice.

The angst potential for Deuce to lash out on Yuu—

Lemme close my eyes and pretend I didn't read.

NO BC TREY

I coulda lived my entire life NOT knowing that shit from his birthday story bruh, now I'm gonna be side eying everything he does for the rest of my life because I cannot handle people playing with my food okay?

I watched too many horror movies where that shit could go left, 1000 Ways To Die had my lil ass screaming as a child—

I just— it kicks up child hood fears of bugs in food (there's a book about a boy eating a worm with a ketchup on—🤮🤮🤮)

I swear I don't hate Trey but I do hate how his actions could lead to people getting hurt especially when he plays like he doesn't have ulterior motives just like everyone else—

Don't make your Yumesona's dependent on him bc he'll get irritated and uncomfortable and might find humor in making them eat dirt.

Which also plays into a fear that the people that love me would hate me?????

I honestly think that Ruggie's reaction after Leona tries his life needs to be explored more—not in the "poor ruggie" but rather how Ruggie and Leona's relationship functions—

They aren't friends; Ruggie uses Leona for his money, Leona uses Ruggie's willingness to to work for that money.

Ruggie could always drop Leona for another rich sucker in the school, Kalim is right there!!!!

But he stays because they're relationship is symbiotic—they understand each other and understand how each other tick, Ruggie wouldn't have taken Azul's magic boost potion if he wasn't down for it.

Money is the motive, basically.

I do think that with Ruggie's situation by depending on the closest proximity for change he kinda needed Leona to snap at him to realize that relying on Leona would end up not benefitting him if he starts acting the way that he was in Savanaclaw.

But poverty traps him in relationships he knows it isn't good for him because he has to support his family, Leona doesn't offer to change either of their situations because he's backed himself into a corner of self wallowing and hatred thinking that he's inadequate bc he's the second prince and his people kinda hate him since he's developed an unsavory personality—

Leona caused some of his problems but that doesn't mean he isn't changing—Ruggie needs Leona to step up if he wants to see change in the slums is my take away.

A lot of ppl think that Ruggie's whole personality is being a smug mother hen, and to an extent he is, but he's on a consistent grind and that is not a healthy mindset.

Back to Deuce snapping on Yuu though, I do see the potential there—yeah, he's working on being a model student and he's down to work with someone he previously viewed as weak, however—

We have to take into account that people slip up, the road to becoming a better person is never an easy journey and while one may feel like they're on top of the world one moment life has a mean ass right hook—

One argument can escalate, a misunderstanding, even just the simple act of Grim making a pass at him could end with him popping off—no i don't think Deuce is volatile due to his delinquent past, I think he's volatile because he's a teenage boy surrounded by teenage boys who think magic makes them better—

Lets not even talk about the money or social status some of these boys have (Leona, Idia, Kalim, Vil).

Just a whole lotta testosterone.

The most likely of him snapping off on Yuu would be if he perceives Yuu as weak— i firmly believe that twst!humans are strong as shit to keep up with Fae, Merfolk, and Beastmen— Yuu not being able to do something Deuce, or even Epel, sees as average can have him questioning Yuu's position.

Delinquent circles often move like a pack of animals, the leader will be challenged the same way the dormleaders have challenged their previous, the same way he and Ace challenged Riddle.

I def think Leona or Jack would step in on Yuu's behalf because Ace just seems like the type who doesn't fight physically, Grim can use magic but one cauldron and he's out, Jack stepping in could parallel how Deuce stepped in for Yuu.

Let's not even take into account Yuu's thoughts during this—your friend turning on you because they think your weak—

Just an overall angst train.

It's very ooc but angst isn't really my forte lmaooo, I also believe Deuce respects Yuu even if they're magicless, he favors the idea of strong leadership rather than strength—it's how they survived the OBs.

Warning: multiple swear words is used by the freaking angry minor who owns this account cuz damn. The earth should be nuked

To the articles made by millenials, boomers and gen x that have titles in the lines of

“How Gen Z’s feel about Lockdown” or

“In thd mind of a gen z kid during covid” or

“Why your gen z kid is depressed= phones” or

“Gen Z will ruin the economy!” or

“Gen Zs arent gay, they are just really confused”or

“Gen Zs are suicidal”

Full heartedly from me, a representative of Gen Zs.

please. I beg you.

Sit ya motherfucking asses down.

Atleast with millenials, you guys walked so we could run. Some of your articles are true- ish. And I fully respect your opinions but

Boomers!? Thinking that they know things?! Fricking sit down sir or I’ll yeet yo ass straight outta space. You lived yo life anyways, and we need less population on this shitty earth right now. Yeeting yalls to space aint that bad of an idea.

Yes, we are depressed. 100%. Aint arguin with that. But it’s not because of the phones, okay? you old fucking fuckers. It’s because of the world that you old geezers have helped create. This old dying world filled with

Such lies

Useless homophobia

Corrupt and stupid administrations

Stupidest presidents

Arrogant misogyny 

Putrid putrid racism

Inequality because of sexism

Irreversible pollution

Multiple deaths of even the most innocent people

Despicable slavery

False fabricated history

Unfair law

Capitalism

Police men killing innocent

False ominous-like dictatorship

Countless people suffering from poverty

Lack of education

Massacres, murders, school shooters

Women fearing to go out at night because of creatures lurking at night

I can still go on but I fear that your little snow flake hearts can’t take it. I want you to suffer before you die. Bit by bit.

“gEn Z wIlL RuIn ThE EcOnOmY” umm... how can we ruin something that has already been ruined? Boomers started to kaboom the economy to nothing but a burning pile of trash.

“Gen Zs ArE jUsT CoNfUsSeD” muhahHAHAHA. Have you seen us. Do we look confused?! Do we look like we are joking?! You spawned gay babies. Stop blaming us when it’s obviously yalls fault. Oh, you think we were mistakes? Well, then you shouldn’t have had us in the first FUCKING PLACE! Yalls wanted us aborted, why’d you not continue? We would’ve honestly approve in “yeetus the fetus” if it was a darn policy.

“wE KnOw HoW GeN Zs FeEl DuRiNg CoViD” Haha. Maybe but naw.

Some of us are happy because of all the chill me time but our little to nil communication skills are poofed to non existence.

You guys keep talking about how it’s hard times, we shouldn’t feel stressed, and that it’s our safety and health first over anything else but!

The homework and video conferences you old ppl keep setting... motherfuckah! I’d rather die. ‘dOnT bE sTrEsSeD”. Bich. All we do now is stress because of all this shit you’ve given us.

But yeah. The article that was about Gen Zs being suicidal.

YES YES YES YES YES

Couldnt agree more.

[somebooody-killl-meeeee-pleaseee]

June?

Hi June. What is even going on anymore? I don’t want to discuss details because I hate having to list all the shit that happened in painstaking detail. It’s really nothing personal. That kind of stuff just bores me...

Emotional State:

I think I just need to accept that I love not being happy. It’s kind of the default state now I guess, but you can’t entirely blame me for that. What should I really be happy about? I can’t really find joy in people or things. I think I’m too disillusioned by all the bs, you know? Sometimes I still do care but it’s for shitty reasons just cuz you end up liking a person or something and that’s not something too sustainable. Most ppl are not beaten down enough to truly love but it’s a fine balance. You get beaten down too much and you don’t want to talk to anyone. Beaten down people tend to look like shit and who really likes that? What does that even really mean? I don’t know. At least unbeaten down people perform really amazingly. Thanks for the entertainment baby. It was a nice distraction while it lasted.  Maybe I’m just too freaking tired and hungry...ok, let’s just go with that... Cut:

Unsure why I’m even bothering. It’s really fucking easy to lose weight. All you have to do is starve yourself. Under 160 now but does it even really matter? Of course it does homie, how else are you gonna buy that early grave? I swear, when I die, I’ll probably rise from my grave screaming my fucking head off if you have bitches and assholes crying over my remains. Fuck off and go feed me to the dogs or something. Or better yet, toss me in the damn ocean. It’s the least you can do. Wasn’t it bad enough that I had to put up with this crap in life, now you want me to live through your fake as fuck bs after I’m dead too? You terrible assholes. Respect a dead man’s wishes and fuck off...I think I gotta chill. I’m not dead yet. Gaming and Entertainment:

Gaming can go fuck itself. I don’t even enjoy games. Grave of the Fireflies is sad as hell. Thanks for making me cry after many years. Fuck you dude...

Money:

Yay poverty :). Last Thoughts:

What do I even want? I honestly don’t know. What does anyone want? I’d be lying if I said I want happiness. What is happiness even? Makes no sense. I think I just want to not have to do anything anymore. I think secretly I’ve always wanted that. I’m uber(®) lazy and maybe that’s why I’ve always never wanted to associate with people or even have children and all of that other bs. The world doesn’t need more people like me and people like me would (do, in fact) really just suffer here. I don’t really care about making a difference, making the world a better place, becoming rich and famous and all that jazz. Shit is too much fucking effort for no real gain (cuz you fucking die bruh). Why even bother? Who the fuck cares what some ultimately meaningless speck of dust in the middle of nowheresville in the universe thinks about you? People are fucking insane...or maybe I am. Either way, I think I’m gonna fucking sleep. Thankfully the bastards haven’t taken that yet, but they’ll sure as fuck keep trying. Or maybe I’m just a paranoid asshole who needs to shut the fuck up; and on that note...
