An open note to baby boomers:

you shriek that we kill the car industry
by not buying with abandon
but Detroit
was crumbling long before I was born
and storms seeded in the gases belched by metal
now sweep away our homes

we do not buy homes, you say
well
why would we?
some of us have seen that sector
collapse twice in just our lifetimes
long before we knew what a mortgage was
beyond Monopoly.

I cannot work my way through college,
you see
I have a vision of my future
and it is sitting at my kitchen table
weeping over bills I cannot pay
you have never known student loans,
but it seems I will be paying them still
when I am your age.

you are outnumbered now,
you know that?
your recklessness in having children
that you raised amid divorce
has only led to more of us.
we had to grow up too fast
in this world you used and broke
and now expect us to somehow flourish in
well
while we count change for the buses
and squeeze with friends into apartments
and work ourselves to bone to pay off all our debts
we will remember
we are young
and glory in it
no matter how you shriek
(you have taken so much from us
but we can take back this
in our selfies and our lipstick and our laughter
we are young now
and you
are still crumbling
like the rusted cars left in Detroit.)

October 7 (via spondee-soliloquy)

This is the world
made somewhat awful
and your curse is this:
to care
child, i beg
do not care so much 
that all the grief in all the world
eats you–
you cannot kill the sorrow
if it can manage your death first.
(the secret:
find a corner
make it yours
and fight for it
with everything.)

do u guys understand how creepy the pledge of allegiance is though like every day when ur a kid everybody just chants how great america is every morning it’s creepy

You do that every morning???

EVERY MORNING.

wait

wait

is this a real thing i thought that was just in the simpsons

no son

Wait, other countries don’t do this.

*whispers* Not even Russia

I remember when my dad had a conversation with me

because I asked him what the Austrian pledge of allegiance was (because he’s from Austria)

and he said “we don’t have a pledge of allegiance”

and I said “why not?”

“honey, think about what training your children to mindlessly pledge to a flag, without really knowing what they’re talking about, sounds like to Austrians”

“oh. hitler.”

“exactly”

reasons we need a khr reboot

momoisatsvki:

shintahrou:

  • new anime = more attention = MORE CONTENT FOR FANS TO ENJOY
  • better, updated animation
  • actual character development 
  • better handling of tsuna’s relationship with his guardians
  • more squalo screaming 
  • more xanxus angrily yelling and smashing things   
  • enma kozato being animated
  • enma and tsuna being friends
  • enma and tsuna’s epic love story and the fact they’re basically the reincarnations of fucking gay ass giotto and his boyfriend cozart
  • THE POSSIBLITY THERE COULD BE TSUNA & CO. FIGURES
  • dumbass naito longchamp 
  • more varia screen time
  • more bel and fran screen time
  • LITTLE FRAN WITH HIS STUPID HAT
  • byakuran
  • tsuna being an actual saint???
  • enma and tsuna sticking together like glue
  • tsuna trying to befriend enemies like a good shounen protagonist
  • more gokudera unnecessarily blowing shit up 
  • more arcobaleno shenanigans 
  • hibari kyoya . occupation: actual badass . 
  • hibari attempting to cheer tsuna up by making him watch hibari beat the shit out of people
  • hibari yawning
  • enma kozato
  • CHROME
  • mukuro arguing with squalo about who tf gets fran
  • hibari just being beautiful in general
  • FUCKING

    DINO CAVALLONE 

  • m o r e bianchi 
  • adult reborn
  • shimon family 
  • SHITT P
  • longchamp
  • hibari being a petulant child
  • MISCHIEVOUS HIBARI SMILES
  • more dino harassing hibari and hibari becoming pissed
  • enma and tsuna smiling
  • enma bonding with nuts
  • tsuna telling enma “you’re my pride”
  • enma

ALSO, TO ANGSTLY EXTEND: 

  • accurately portraying psychotic and socoipathic tendencies  in characters like bel and mukuro
  • depression and anxiety in yamamoto, tsuna and enma
  • the scene where enma, beaten and bloody says “i’m always thinking about running away, too.” 
  • how bad the bullying actually was towards tsuna and enma, not the watered down, light hearted shit they tried to make it into

  • bel not just being “that psycho character”
  • mukuro not being “that creepy pervert”
  • bel and mammon’s relationship

  • bel’s harassment not just as comic relief but as the real truth of him being bitter that mammon isn’t there 
  • the suicide attempt scene from the manga instead of that bullshit we got in the anime
  • (hopefully) better handling of yamamoto’s personality and depression

  • yamamoto not just being the comic relief character, or the “stupid” one
  • lambo not just being the stupid comic relief kid whos bratty and spoiled
  • fuckin hayato gokudera not being the “violent tsundere”
  • how the treatment from lambo’s family made him as fearful and ready to hysterics as he is 
  • nana not just being the ditzy housewife and being given more screentime
  • nana being just a bad, or worse than the bullies even if its not intentional because she doesn’t hide the fact she thinks her son is as much of a no good loser his classmates do
  • not just turning tsuna’s clumsiness, inablity to get good grades and/or naivity into satire 
  • tsuna’s insecurity 
  • (hopefully) better portrayal of lussuria and his fear of xanxus, who incidentally, tried to kill him though he was a loyal subordinate 
  • fran not actually viewing himself as a part of the varia, because of how he’s treated, not because he’s selfish and anti-social 
  • how the treatment from lambo’s family made him as fearful and ready to hysterics as he is 
  • (hopefully) showing just how painfully cruel mukuro is, but still making him into a multidimensional character that can be kind as well (towards ken, chikusa and chrome, though he denies it as making them into pawns) 
  • vindice’s abuse towards mukuro and the ptsd he has from it
  • showing that even the kindest,  well intentioned characters can be the most inhuman 
  • just having a better mixture of humor and harshness without demeaning and/or taking away the growth character’s have and develop 

How about a Sky High version of KRH? Tsuna is the son of one of the best superheroes ever, but he gets designated as sidekick for whatever reason

skygemspeaks:

Lol I thought you said a sky high version of bnha and I was like bro, that’s basically what it is already XDD Sorry, you’d think an author would be better at this whole reading thing. Anyways, yes this is an awesome idea!!!!

Tsuna’s father is a hero known as the Young Lion and everyone expects Tsuna to be just as powerful as his dad, which is why they’re so disappointed when he turns out to be a weak little sidekick because he can’t control his powers, and can’t even use them without taking 2 dying will pills first.

As time goes on though, for some reason he keeps attracting all these powerful people and he even manages to become the sworn rival of Kozato Enma.

Then at one point, one of his teachers (Reborn) notices that there’s actually a seal on Tsuna’s powers. And oops, wouldn’t you know it, Iemitsu remembers just then that he had asked his boss years ago to put a seal on his young son’s powers because he was too powerful and Iemitsu didn’t want Tsuna accidentally hurting himself.

And then when the seal is taken off it turns out that Tsuna is actually more powerful than most of his teachers even.
