All debate about that reveal aside, can we talk about the fact that as far as I know all the Americans just nodded and went “yeah, fake marriage for health insurance, makes sense.” That was truly the least surprising thing about this episode. Non-Americans, how batshit does that sound to you? Please tell me.

hank pym hates sentinels, both morally but also because he can't figure out where people keep getting the money to make them because he made one robot and not only did it try to kill everything it also put him in debt.

so…somehow topaz is not only managing to embody “rampant capitalist” but also “insidious colonizer”???
like babe maybe try not launching an armed alien invasion of their home threatening to extract every single resource of potential value. or like. dumping a 700yr old debt on a planet that has been entirely isolated for most of that.
hey speaking of how it’s been 700 years since this supposed loan was made—why are you sweeping in to demand hundreds of years of interest on a loan you didn’t care enough to collect more than 400 years ago…conveniently AFTER you decided that maybe there was something to exploit here after all?
like goddamn when they announced “topaz and numby” i thought the pig was supposed to be NUMBY and yet Here We Are

Also I think because LXC can't actually fix JGY's situation, people don't always realize how often he does help JGY? But we do actually see it a lot! Even aside from repeatedly saving his life from NMJ trying to kill him on the spot, there's:
- the teacups scene
- bringing news of the possibilities at Langya (and offering to talk to NMJ if needed)
- intervening politely when Jin Zixun is yelling abuse at him at the Phone is Mountain Hunt
- helping expand the grounds at the Phoenix Mountain Hunt, and even recruiting LWJ to help them out
- giving him the cloth after Zixun throws wine at him
- even teaching him the Song of Clarity!
And honestly I'm probably forgetting some other things too. And like—again setting aside the defending his life from NMJ part, most of these are fairly subtle or small? But that's just the kind of help LXC can give! He can't fix JGY's situation; it's just not in his power. But that doesn't mean there's never any help he can give. And I think it's worth noting that the help is graciously given and graciously accepted; even when LXC urges him to go change his clothes after Zixun throws wine on him, and JGY has to point out that he can't, he's not offended or reactive or anything of the sort; he simply says that he can't leave, even as he accepts the handkerchief without any problems and uses it to clean his robes.

anyways speaking of English words the more u read into how British rule straight up irreversibly reshaped the subcontinent's political and social structures for the worst .. the more horrified u get and the more u understand that sometimes white people are just evil

i just remembered the usa concept of student loans and time and time again it seems more cruel to me
like. i am a bit of a screw up academics-wise. i dropped out of three different unus after two semesters at most and i also worked a job that didn't need much of an education for six months in between. and i was able to do that bc i pay like 300 euros to my unis per semester, and like half of that goes into a public transport ticket. if i had to get along in y'all's system i would have drowned in debt by now. or taken much more drastic measures to keep myself going where i thought i wanted to go when i was 17. it seems to me like they really don't leave you much of a choice, in any direction. wherever you think you might want to go after highschool, you're kind of doomed to keep walking in that direction if you aren't filthy rich. so many people are probably grieving a future that was unattainable to them in some way or another, because they chose to do something at first and then couldn't afford to change paths, because of a disability that made your whole schooling system impossible to bear, or a thousand of other reasons.
and this might just be ramblings, and it's just a perspective of someone who never had to experience said system. but i think y'all should start to burn shit to the ground
