[eosphoria]

Deeply tormented by the fact there's only 4 chapters left of MHA and

Remember how deku was chasing Bakugo even if he had nothing in return? Bakugo is in that position now and what if that is his biggest punishment. He had this dream, this lifelong plan, crushed, not by deku not having a quirk anymore or bakugo needing rehab, but just himself.

"what did I do to you?"

This endless sense of loss and grief because of his own actions, that seem to have been forgiven, but what can he do for izuku to stop controlling his damn heart and put it all on the table?

Be it utter rejection, be it accepting bakugo's dream of fighting together for the rest of their lives, WHAT IS IT, IZUKU?

Truly WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?

I believed I was gonna feel at ease with a damn handhold but now that bakugo is so so forward and out there with his care for izuku, HOW CAN I BE AT EASE WITH A FUCKING HANDHOL-

Please my child cannot have this stress on his heart rn, and by my child I mean myself (and also katsuki but MYSE-)

Doomers & Fatalism

Regardless of your age, you need a reason to move forward. You need hope. Yet, it's hard to find hope for teens and young adults.

Not a year goes by without an update on the planet's decline (at our hand), wealth is only feeling more unstable and unequally distributed, a pandemic destroyed any hope of sociability for some, and social media does more harm than good when it "connects" people.

There's no true community, nothing to take pride in, there's hardly motivation for ambition or wealth. Hell, we grow up being told we'll be a generation of renters, because it's a statistical improbability than any of us will EVER afford a home without working 3 jobs into our grave.

I can't speak for America, but I know my government haven't made any real effort to prevent renter's from taking that news and slowly inflating rent costs each month.

I'm a part of the generation that is thought to deal with the broadest range of mental health concerns; however, I'm also part of the generation that's most likely to be told to "deal with it," or "grow up," by the people perpetuating our suffering, or the peers that fell victim to toxic hustle culture— enabling the shitty circumstances.

When you start adulthood with so many problems that directly impact your life, most of which come at no fault of your own, you'd hope for help in addressing those matters, but it never comes.

We're told we're lazy, we don't try hard enough, and we've got it easy (which is a demonstrable lie). How is it any surprise we became hopeless doomers? At some point you just get the idea that we were destined to fail.

Threats of War

Now we're told to be ready for World War 3 and I'm struggling to understand why. What values am I defending? Why should I die for a country that doesn't care about me?

Sure, Ukraine and Palestine are in shitty situations, but saying that doesn't require me to do anything. Though they demonstrate something: the government will risk our lives for money, and turn a blind eye to genocide if it suits them.

All that matters is that we're made to feel like our interests align. They don't represent us. They represent themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I don't support either conflict, and I sympathise with the aforementioned nations; however, I am not willing to die for them— I don't think you are. So is it even fair for us to bother complaining? It's not like diplomacy has done a thing so far.

Whether we're roped into a war or not, it doesn't feel like we'd have a choice.

Hobbies and Corporations

Normally I'd propose finding an outlet for everything. I'm not sure that's ideal anymore. Commonplace hobbies like gaming, sports, martial arts, reading, and art, they require 3 things: time, motivation, and effort.

Thanks to hustle culture, holding 3 jobs, running a drop shipping business, and abandoning any meaningful social life is considered just enough and reasonable. That doesn't leave time for personal hobbies, entertainment, or time to actually live. A life like that is no life at all. You're an animal operating on the exclusive goal of survival. You're alive, but you're not living.

Among those of us too physically or mentally scarred to work like our peers, we compassionately took to pen and paper, or software and devices, writing stories, drawing and animating worlds, or making music.

I fear that pocket of joy is getting smaller. AI image generation has already impacted artists, AI voice recreations are already being used in place of some voice actors, and we've all seen the AI voice covers for songs— claiming "you don't need to learn to sing." It didn't take long for me to see "generative AI" being proposed as a source for track samples and stems in music production.

Considering such things, it's hard to motivate yourself to put your work out there. You struggle to justify spending time creating anything, and you're probably not ready to put the effort into producing enough algorithm optimised works per day. After all, no one will see it. No one cares.

That's how it feels.

Social Media

Maybe we still have digital spaces? Really. Are cespools like Twitter spaces you can enjoy? Even Tumblr is quite detached, with small accounts struggling to get so much as a couple likes— nevermind a reblog, and god forbid you get a comment or DM.

That's minor though, it's the relationships that bother me. The ability to lock someone out of your life, within 5 seconds, for the slightest of perceived infractions. You're sensitive and a snowflake if you need boundaries, and you're "rude" and "mean" when you're pushed too far for not establishing them.

You can join a fandom or community and run into those issues, but do you really need more trouble? Ive hung around with furries since I was 13 or 14. It wasn't a furry that SA'd me, and I've never been groomed. But as a child online, I was labelled as a dog fucking groomer (at 15), because I was in a furry community discord server. I don't like to think about how that made the young adult owner of the server feel.

Social media is good for "satirical trolls," who take pleasure in hurting as many people as they can, and then claiming it's OK because they're joking, and you should've known. Is it really worth the effort for anyone else? You know, us "normal people," not bogged down by million strong fanbases, actively managing parasocial relationships and morally questionable stalking.

Closing Statements

I'm not entirely sure why I wrote this post. I guess I'm just another girl crying on the internet when I should save it for the therapy I can't actually afford.

I want to be hopeful, to feel like there's something attainable to desire, or even just things to look forward to. It's been a long time since I woke up and felt there was a good reason to be awake or even alive.

Thanks,

I'm so done with the way everyone avoids calling Bruce an abuser. 'He's a bad parent' 'he's flawed' 'what he did was kinda fucked up' call it what it is!! He's an abusive parent, no ifs or buts about it! He's not just a bad parent, he didn't just fuck up, he's their abuser. Loving your kids or wanting the best for them doesn't mean you won't hurt them and it doesn't excuse doing so, and I personally don't think it makes it even slightly better.

Favorite dumb overused joke in Malevolent fandom is whenever anyone goes “Arthur has two hands— OH OOPS” whenever multi-relationshipping comes up

[theamazingannie]

Me: I love strong m/f completely platonic relationships. We need more of them. Not every m/f pairing needs to be romantic. Let m/f parings be platonic!

"Sydney and Carmy will not have a romantic relationship in season 3 of The Bear.”

Me: N-not that one...🥺

i feel like i am the only one who understands Blackstar warrior cats. i feel it in my heart

[luvbug724]

i don’t think that this

means exactly what i’m seeing people say it means. like yeah, obviously, she’s saying that renee and jean are not meant to be endgame, but that doesn’t mean they won’t or can’t be trying in tsc. in the same tags, nora said she stands by like 98% of her past answers (refresher: ec includes long distance jean & renee “courting” that goes nowhere, jean and kevin mostly stop speaking to each other, jean never tries to make court because he really doesn’t care for exy the same way kevin and neil do, jeremy calling kevin for help). her saying that they’re not each other’s endgame is actually completely in line with her past view! she’s never really shared a complete view of jean’s future with us yet, but renee and jean not being together has always been her word of god :)

just please don’t get your expectations and be upset if something you don’t want happens. at the end of the day, you can ignore tsc if you don’t like it. but just give it a fighting chance first

I'm so fucking annoyed with how many anti-polyam posts that are going around
