King and Gold reunion (in some soft of post apocaliptic city? And no, King isn‘t an superhero wanna be, he‘s wearing metal pieces and his king robe, ironically just looks like it tho. And Gold is a little older too))

🔮 THE FUTURE OF STUDENT DEBT: DYSTOPIA OR REVOLUTION?

What happens next depends on what WE do next ✊

THE CURRENT MOMENT: A CROSSROADS

🎯 WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW:

42.7 million Americans trapped in student debt

$1.78 trillion total debt and growing

Political system designed to protect lenders

Legal system that makes escape impossible

But also: Growing awareness and resistance

⚡ THE AWAKENING:

Gen Z and Millennials understand the scam

Cross-racial coalitions forming around debt relief

Political pressure forcing policy responses

Corporate resistance shows we're threatening their profits

SCENARIO 1: THE DYSTOPIAN TIMELINE 💀

If We Do Nothing:

2025-2030:

Debt reaches $2.5 trillion as more students borrow

Default rates spike during next recession

Wage garnishment becomes normal for entire generation

Private loan expansion as federal programs get cut

Intergenerational poverty as parents and children both trapped

2030-2040:

Social Security garnishment affects millions of retirees

Housing crisis deepens as young people can't buy homes

Birth rates plummet as debt makes families unaffordable

Brain drain accelerates as educated Americans emigrate

Economic stagnation from reduced consumer spending

2040+:

Permanent debtor class of educated Americans

Hereditary debt as family poverty perpetuates

Educational apartheid where only rich kids can afford college

Social unrest as economic mobility disappears completely

SCENARIO 2: THE REVOLUTIONARY TIMELINE 🔥

If We Fight Back:

2025-2030:

Mass debt strike forces government action

Electoral pressure delivers progressive majorities

Comprehensive debt cancellation through legislative action

Free public college prevents future debt accumulation

Banking reform eliminates predatory lending

2030-2040:

Economic boom as young people spend instead of servicing debt

Innovation surge as people can afford career risks

Housing recovery as millennials/Gen Z enter market

Family formation increases as finances stabilize

Wealth gap narrows as education creates actual mobility

2040+:

Education as public good like K-12 schooling

Meritocracy restoration where talent matters more than wealth

Generational justice achieved through systematic reform

Economic democracy where education doesn't create debt bondage

THE INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE:

🌍 HOW OTHER COUNTRIES DO IT:

Germany:

Public universities: €0-500/semester tuition

Living stipends: Government pays students to attend

Result: Highly educated workforce, strong economy, no debt crisis

France:

Public university tuition: €170-380/year for EU students

Quality education: World-class institutions

Student support: Housing assistance, meal subsidies

Nordic Countries:

Free tuition: Even for international students

Living allowances: Students get paid to study

Economic outcomes: Highest social mobility in world

🇺🇸 AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM:

Most expensive higher education in developed world

Highest student debt levels globally

Lowest social mobility among peer nations

Richest country with most educated population living in debt

THE CORPORATE RESISTANCE:

💰 WHY THEY'LL FIGHT US:

Loan Servicers:

$1.8 billion annually in government contracts at risk

Stock prices tied to debt collection volume

Executive compensation based on revenue from our misery

Private Lenders:

15% profit margins on student loans vs 3% on mortgages

Guaranteed collection through bankruptcy protection

Political influence through campaign contributions

Colleges/Universities:

Tuition revenue depends on easy loan money

Administrative bloat funded by ever-increasing costs

Endowment growth prioritized over affordability

🎭 THEIR TACTICS:

Divide and conquer: "Forgiveness unfair to responsible borrowers"

Victim blaming: "Personal responsibility" messaging

Legal warfare: Endless court challenges to relief

Political capture: Lobbying, campaign contributions, revolving door

WHAT WE CAN DO: THE RESISTANCE PLAYBOOK

🗳️ ELECTORAL POLITICS:

Primary Elections:

Vote in primaries where student debt is a litmus test

Support candidates who pledge comprehensive relief

Reject incrementalism - demand full debt cancellation

Single-issue voting until problem is solved

General Elections:

Youth turnout is everything - they need our votes

Down-ballot races matter - state AGs can challenge predatory lending

Ballot initiatives on education funding where possible

Cross-generational organizing - connect with affected parents

🚫 DIRECT ACTION:

Debt Strikes:

Collective refusal to pay until demands met

Safety in numbers - individual strikes fail, mass strikes succeed

Strategic timing - coordinate with election cycles

Media attention - make debt strike a national story

Corporate Targeting:

Boycott loan servicers and their parent companies

Shareholder activism at Navient, Nelnet, etc.

Protest at headquarters and executive homes

Disrupt business operations through legal demonstrations

Educational Disruption:

Campus organizing against tuition increases

Alumni pressure on university endowment policies

Trustee accountability - challenge board members

Graduation protests to highlight debt burden

💡 POLICY SOLUTIONS WE NEED:

Immediate Relief:

✅ Full debt cancellation - not just $10k or $50k, ALL of it

✅ Interest rate elimination - 0% on all existing loans

✅ Bankruptcy restoration - allow discharge like any debt

✅ Garnishment prohibition - end wage and benefit seizure

Systemic Reform:

✅ Free public college - funded like K-12 education

✅ Tuition caps for private schools receiving federal aid

✅ Endowment taxes on wealthy universities hoarding money

✅ Living stipends for students from working families

Financial Justice:

✅ Banking regulation - end predatory student lending

✅ Corporate accountability - criminal charges for loan fraud

✅ Reparative justice - extra relief for targeted communities

✅ Wealth taxes to fund education as public good

THE GENERATIONAL MISSION:

👥 WHO WE'RE FIGHTING FOR:

Current Borrowers:

Immediate relief from crushing debt burden

Mental health recovery from financial trauma

Life restoration - marriage, family, homeownership possible again

Career freedom to pursue passion over profit

Future Students:

Debt-free education as fundamental right

Merit-based opportunities not wealth-based selection

Innovation unleashed when smart kids can afford college

Economic mobility through education not debt

Society Overall:

Economic growth from increased consumer spending

Innovation boom from risk-taking ability

Social justice through equal educational access

Democracy strengthened by educated, non-indebted citizenry

THE MOVEMENT WE'RE BUILDING:

🔥 SIGNS OF HOPE:

Political Momentum:

Student debt now major campaign issue

Progressive candidates winning with debt relief platforms

Mainstream Democrats moving left on issue

Even some Republicans acknowledge crisis

Cultural Shift:

Shame reduction - debt seen as systemic not personal

Collective action replacing individual suffering

Cross-class solidarity as middle class joins working class

Intergenerational alliance between parents and children

Economic Pressure:

Housing market stagnation forcing policy attention

Consumer spending patterns showing debt impact

Labor market effects as workers demand wage premiums

Retirement crisis looming from garnished Social Security

YOUR ROLE IN THE REVOLUTION:

🎯 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:

Political:

Register to vote and vote in EVERY election

Primary challenge politicians who won't commit to full relief

Call representatives monthly about student debt

Join local political organizations with debt relief platforms

Economic:

Refuse to pay private loans if safe to do so

Document abuse by loan servicers for legal action

Support mutual aid for struggling borrowers

Divest from companies profiting from student debt

Social:

Share your story to reduce shame and build solidarity

Educate others about how the system actually works

Support affected friends with practical help

Challenge victim-blaming narratives wherever you see them

THE FINAL TRUTH:

This isn't about individual financial responsibility - it's about collective liberation.

💪 WE HAVE THE POWER:

42.7 million borrowers = massive voting bloc

Intergenerational impact = even larger coalition

Economic leverage = our labor and consumption matter

Moral authority = we're fighting for justice, they're fighting for profit

🔥 THEY HAVE THE SYSTEM:

But systems can be changed

When enough people refuse to participate

When voting becomes organized resistance

When silence becomes solidarity

THE CHOICE IS OURS:

Will we accept permanent debt bondage as the price of education?

Or will we demand that in the richest country in human history, learning shouldn't require a lifetime of financial servitude?

The student debt crisis ends when we decide it ends.

Not when politicians allow it. Not when corporations agree. Not when the system fixes itself.

When WE decide we've had enough.

🔥 THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW. 🔥

Education should unlock human potential, not lock people in debt. We have the power to make that a reality - we just have to use it. ✊

Some information( or headcanons) on the future family of Kaga and Megami.

⚠️ the children are not canon. I made them up. ⚠️

Between the four, Ichiro is the tallest, Megami is the second tallest, Ikumi is the third, and then there's Kaga, who's the shortest.

Here are the heights just to get an idea on how they look like next to each other :D

Ichiro and Ikumi are two years apart, just like Megami and Kencho.

Ichiro is named after his grandfather, which he despises. So, he would rather be called Hiro for short, but it's only for family and friends he trusts. If Megami or Kaga are upset with him, they will call him by his FULL name. They do the same with Ikumi. Don't worry. They rarely get in trouble, and if they do, it's for a good reason.

Ikumi and Ichiro took Megami's looks. They both have silver-blue-ish hair, but it's slightly darker. The only thing they got from Kaga appearance wise is his eyes. The blue with the spiral eyes he got. Ichiro got some of Kaga's facial features.

The main reason why Ichiro was the first, first born baby boy is because the Y chromosome came from Kaga. Considering that Kaga is the first born male in his family and is the only child, there was a chance of their baby being a boy.

Ikumi and Ichiro have that cold, icy look like their mother does. They're still living in an environment where affection and emotions are not allowed. At least, not around the rest of the family.

Between the four, they do show affection and emotions towards one another whenever Ichirou is not around.

Ichiro and Ikumi are very close siblings. They don't have that rift that Megami and Kencho have. Megami decided to change it and not let her children experience the same thing as she did with Kencho. She made sure they were close and by each other's side as siblings should be.

They both do know about Ichiko's existence. Ichiro doesn't really care about her because his main focus is Saikou Corp. However, Ikumi is much more interested in the topic of Ichiko leaving the family and wonders where she is now. She does try to do research on her when she has free time.

Kaga and Megami love their children dearly. They adore them too ,more than anything.

Ichiro and Ikumi are slightly eccentric because they spend a lot of their time with their father and grandparents of their father's side. They don't see Megami's father as a grandfather. They do see Tsuma as their grandmother, but it's only a formal relationship.

Ichirou gave his own grandson trauma and pretty much ignored his granddaughter. Ichirou doesn't care about Kaga and what happens to him because his only role as a male in the family was to give him heirs. Ichirou is willing to kill Kaga if he gets out of line. He can change his mind if Kaga does something right and something extraordinary for Saikou Corp.

Tsuma is very formal with them. Just like she did with Megami, she didn't try to build a strong bond with them because she was taught to keep herself out on how the Saikou children are raised.

They have a very bad relationship with their uncle and their cousins (at least when they are younger).

When Ichiro and Ikumi were much younger, their cousins saw them as threats and enemies because of how Kencho raised them and told them how Ichiro and Ikumi were a bother in the family and a disgrace to the Saikou family. Kencho doesn't like Kaga, not even one bit. Kencho thinks he's a lunatic. He sees him as someone who should be cleaning the floor he stands on, not being the CEO of Saikou Corp.

Kaga and Kencho don't talk much. If they do, it's mostly Kencho talking smack towards him. Kaga ignores him or scares him off.

Kencho was the first to go against the idea of Kaga and Megami getting married.

"You can disown me if you need him that much." That's what Kencho said to his father once he found out Megami and Kaga were getting married.

Kencho also sees Kaga as an enemy because he is the reason why Ichiro was born. Kencho wanted to be the first one to give his father the first, firstborn male, but instead, he had a daughter as his first. Kencho spoils his children a lot but does also raise them the same way his father raised him and Megami.

Kencho had two children with his hot wife. One girl and one boy.

As Ichiro and Ikumi get older, they heal that rift between them and their cousins.

Their cousins are jealous of them for having a good family. A loving mother and a father who is as loud as ever who isn't scared to show his eccentric side and does spend time with them. They respect Megami and Kaga as they get older, but when they were younger, they didn't because of how Kencho raised them to see their aunt and uncle. There's a lot of drama, lol.

There is a timeline where Kencho and Kaga get along, but in this one, they don't.

Ikumi and Ichiro do question how their father was able to pursue their mother.

Megami is known to be the most gorgeous, intelligent, and powerful woman in Japan (so far) that Ichiro and Ikumi can't really believe that their father was able to win their mother's heart. They always ask Kaga questions about it.

"What did you do to pursue her?"

"Did you buy her something?"

"Did you accept a deal from her?"

"Did she drag you to marry her?"

"Were you her only option?"

"Did you rock her world that good?"

Among others. Kaga doesn't really answer because he doesn't even know himself on how Megami fell for him.

They go out as a family to spend time together. They go to the park, go on vacation, go to cafes, restaurants, etc.

Ikumi and Ichiro are always next to their parents when they are working on something for Saikou Corp, or in meetings, or events.

Kaga can either be building or sketching out new products for Saikou Corp, so the two would help Kaga with it. If Megami is working on something on her computer related to Saikou Corp, they are next to her, watching what she's doing and Megami would teach them on what to do, how to do it, etc.

Ichiro and Ikumi admire their parents a lot and look up to them.

Kaga is the fun parent, while Megami is the serious parent. It's like good cop and bad cop type of thing.

Ichiro and Ikumi don't like getting their parents mad, especially if Kaga is the one being mad.

If Kaga is mad or just pissed off, they know they fucked up. Kaga rarely got angry with them or anyone. He doesn't have anyone who can get under his skin or push his buttons compared to Megami, who has Kencho, who knows how to get under her skin and push her buttons. He is the quiet type. If he's mad, he'll work on his inventions to calm himself down and keep his mind distracted. If not that, he's either planning something. He's a mad scientist. He can do anything to the individual and CEO of Saikou Corp. (He wouldn't hurt his own children. Just give them the silent treatment mostly to tell them that he needed space to calm down and think)

Kaga will go to Megami and calm down with her by telling her what happened. Unless he knows that Megami will get mad as well, then he won't. Megami is already scary enough, lol.

When the children were younger, they were very clingy towards Kaga. If Kaga wasn't around, then they would be clingy towards Megami.

Megami makes time to brush Ikumi's long hair to spend time with her and chat.

Ikumi and Ichiro have bodyguards whenever they go somewhere away from Saikou Corp. It doesn't matter where they go. They have at least two-four bodyguards protecting them.

Kaga was the one to take care of them both while Megami focused on Saikou Corp if she was needed badly or had to go to a meeting or event.

Megami made a promise to her children that she would always show them love and affection. She didn't want her children to experience what she went through with her own parents.

Kaga always made time for his children. He was surrounded by love by his parents. He wanted to do the same for them and spend as much time with them as possible like his parents did for him. And show them fun and most likely dangerous experiments. 😀

Problem Now Days

I understand that we gotta do what we gotta do for ourselves and ours. But c'mon. No where in that process do you have to lose your humanity. You can still do you and take care of yours while treating others with the respect they deserve. Or show that you still value human life. Some people struggle, others just watch. The ones that can make a big difference, only do minimal. The ones who are giving their all to make that change, are the ones who struggle as well. The struggle is real. Make a change. Be a part of the solution instead of increasing the problem or being a watcher. Like what are you doing standing around and just watch? A tree can't grow from you staring at the seed. You gotta do your part and take care of it. Tend to it.

C'mon people. You can do better. Children are the future. They deserve better. Cause right now, it looks like they got nothing to look forward to. They will end up being stuck in a world of chaos that no one wants to make a difference or a change in.

Keep it real ya'll and do better. If not for yourselves, then for the future generation

Bruce: I never got to see Dick's first reaction to the alcohol, because he tried it before as a kid. Same with Jason, he drank it without me being around. Tim got on his first party with alcohol behind my back.

Bruce: But at least I have Damian. Can't wait for his 21st birthday.

Dick: Yeah, I bet he would have a funny reaction, too!

Jason, sweating nervously, because he made little Damian sip on beer back when they were in the LoA: Y-yeah. C-can't wait.

This happened at least once

[isara0408]

I have two cute headcanons involving Kagami's children - Ichiro (or Hiro for short) and Ikumi.

Papa/Mama Duck

It is something they did when they were children. Considering that the two are really close to Kaga and having him as their favorite parent, Ichiro and Ikumi would follow him around like duckling following their mama duck. This would happen whenever the two didn’t have training or school related events going on.

Whenever Kaga walked around Saikou Corp, especially when he's working on something that had his full attention, Ichiro and Ikumi would be right behind him and following him in a single file line. They would have a big smile on their faces just being close to their crazy father. Kaga wouldn't notice them until one of them tugs his sleeve, or poke, or speak up, or even hug him.

Kaga would apologize and give them a kiss on the head before returning back to his duties, but this time, he would have his kids with him and actually know they are with him.

Same thing with Megami. Ichiro and Ikumi would follow their mother like duckling. Unlike Kaga, Megami does notice them following her right away. They can't really sneak up on her easily. So, as soon as they follow her around, Megami will notice and make them walk next to her rather than behind her.

Whenever Megami did catch her children following Kaga around, it would remind her of Kencho and her own father.

I believe that when Kencho was a child, he would follow his father around the same way as Ichiro and Ikumi do towards Kaga. Kencho would do it because he admired his father and wanted to be just like him. For Ikumi and Ichiro's case, they love being close to their father like any child would to their own parent.

Just like Mother

This headcanon involves only Megami and her children. Ichiro and Ikumi are obviously being trained to become CEO of Saikou Corp in the future, especially Ikumi if Ichiro decides not to take over the Corp. Their mother is their only example of a good CEO in their eyes (They don't like their grandfather much).

So whenever Megami is doing something for Saikou Corp that a CEO would be doing, Ikumi and Ichiro would watch and copy her. It doesn't matter what it is. They will copy her. Even what she's saying, they will copy her. Again, they're children during this time. Like any other child who loves their parent, they would copy them.

Ikumi and Ichiro want to be good CEOs just like their mother, so in their eyes, they believe it would be best if they watch their mother do something and then they will do it themselves.

It's something cute that I imagine they would do :)

I might do one for when they're older, but there are other things I want to post about them that really bug me and how I solved it, so that will probably be the next post, lol

There will be angst. Yay! 😀

End-of-Splatoon thoughts.

Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.

Thinking about finding golden human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About the Voyager Golden Records. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?

Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.

Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.

Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns aren’t uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.

Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after we’re gone, the oceans will remember, and they’ll pick up where we left off.

Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity –– the thing that will outlive us –– isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.
