I really don't know what happened, whether it was the MV that really made an impact for me or not, but like
when I first heard everybody's waiting on wednesday I thought, oh I like it more than I thought based on the teasers, it's fine I guess?
listened to it a few more times and was like, yeah, it's ok.
but today I'm watching the MV and when they get to the line "no one's ever gonna make it easier" suddenly it's like a fucking gut punch of emotion??? I'm actually blinking back tears??????
I was rolling my eyes at all the "omg I'm crying" posts but holy shit the song snuck up from behind and actually fucking got me

Actually it's pretty fucked up that other people's only concerns about skin conditions like acne is "be glad you don't ACTUALLY look like that" or "it's so hard to look at [you]"
This applies doubly so for people who have disabilities, such as mobility aids or prosthetics. Beauty culture is a fucking poison.

Listen, Atticus is allowed to be mad. He's allowed because Alexis is his sister. But the rest of the squad can fuck right off being mad at Chazz for her being in the Society of Light because at the point in the season when they're dealing with getting her back, THEY KNOW FULL WELL that Chazz was brainwashed at the time and has no memory of anything that happened over the last like few MONTHS. That's established during his duel with Jaden when he wakes up from the brainwashing and doesn't even know what's going on right then and there. His memory stops after being defeated by Sartorius and restarts in the middle of dueling Jaden months later. He was not in control of his actions or thoughts when he dueled her. Now I'm not saying he is entirely absolved of guilt because of that, but he deserves to be given some grace by the others about it.

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
this guy really had. no idea. not a clue this snotty know-it-all uppity asshole was going to become an incredibly dear friend. he cared for tim and valued their relationship, sure, but there was a significant amount of resentment present thanks to kon assuming tim considered himself above the rest of them— so it’s so neat seeing how drastically the tone of their relationship changes after kon begins to learn just how self-critical tim can be, and sees tim’s doubts about his capacity to lead and fill an impossibly large pair of shoes.
his frustrations with tim largely vanish, and their casual friendship with. faint traces of antagonism deepens; it becomes so warm and wholly supportive: robin becomes his close friend. his confidant. his secret-keeper. of course tim has his tendencies towards being a jackass, but to kon... that’s the boy who promised him nothing would change after discovering kon’s connection to lex. who’d roll his eyes good-naturedly when kon teases him, and tease him right back. who’d drop everything to help him (leaving his post in blüdhaven after the city was destroyed, not knowing if his stepmother, uncle for hire, or even if dick was alright— or alive, for the matter), because kon is family too. that’s the boy he now knows must be hurting, but still wants nothing more than to do the world some good. all he hopes is to make it a little safer, a little happier.
for two people who are both so completely terrified of what they might become— who are so convinced they may really be rotten at their cores, it’s fitting that once their misconceptions of one another were stripped away, the only thing either of them could find was someone to love.
(young justice (1998) #38/robin (1993) #146)

i will always advocate for skipping classes btw. to all the high schoolers following me: don't sweat having a perfect attendance record it quite literally does not matter. if anyone tells you good attendance is important for being considered for scholarships they're lying to you. my attendance was fucking abysmal and i was offered several full-ride scholarships because my grades were still solid and that's all 90% of colleges care about.
and besides. taking care of yourself - whether you need a mental health break or you're tired or you just frankly don't want to go to that fucking class - should always take priority! now don't take a page from my book and skip a month and a half's worth of pe classes because you ditched One Time because the coach said he was going to make everyone run a mile that day and then he kept trying to get you to "make up" the mile that you missed so you kinda just stopped showing up until he gave up on you forever like please know that you should go to class regularly BUT.
i think taking time off and leaving early and such needs to be normalized. for school and work. i don't think it's fair to punish people for needing breaks. the human brain is literally not made to sit in the same stifling environments for 8 hours almost every day and just focus on "working" or "studying" and "learning." it's very cruel to deprive young, still developing minds especially of proper breaks and time to Play (not that it's not cruel to do the same to adults)
if the system won't give them to you freely though... well. break the rules a little. you know your limits better than anyone. don't try to work to an impossible standard. rest when you need to!! it's very, very easy to burn yourself out, but it's very, very, very, very difficult to recover from it

HONESTLY cannot find the words today for absolutely anything but i need to talk to you all about how jotaro is doomed by the narrative and how it drives me INSANE all of the things i say about jojo i assume are common knowledge but please i need to say it so graphically it drives me nuts. it drives me nuts i get nutty thinking about how jotaro is fated to tragedy in every single layer in every way. from just his personality to the META. After getting to know jotaro so well his tragic character is... well it's alright. Okay, yeah, it takes a lot for him to let somebody in and he's a tough guy with a big heart. this is wonderful. him absolutely refusing to stay too close to those he loves in fear of damaging them? okay. okay its getting kind of hot in here but whatever, sure that makes for good musings. his isolation being caused by his refusal to let others enter into the danger of his own self which only drives him to further misery?? okay thats so crazy! wow jotaro! This being somewhat TRUE and his unhealthy habits and beliefs being enabled further by something as eternal and cosmic as the narrative of the story?? jesus thats crazy lol! Him being FOREVER FATED TO BE THIS WAY BECAUSE OF THE FACT HIS BEING LIKE A GREEK HERO/WHATEVER IS LITERALLY HIS NUCLEUS? HIM BEING FATED TO DIE TRAGICALLY? THERE BEING NO ESCAPE? HIM BEING DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE? BEING ... LITERALLY STUCK IN HIS WAYS? ARAKI'S WRITING ADVANCING BUT JOTARO HAVING TO BE STUCK IN THE SAME WRETCHED CYCLE? JOTARO BEING A CHARACTER WHO CAN BE USED TO WHATEVER EXTENT THE CREATOR PLEASES? HIM BEING CLUELESS TO THE ATROCITIES THAT WILL FOREVER FOLLOW HIM? IM KILLING MYSELF.
