Listen, Twilight could have been completely solved if they had just chosen a college over the Grand Forks high school. Like? Y’all look 18 forever? I know college seniors who look 16, it’s cool. They don’t eat? Man we’re poor too, y’all don’t see me eat ever. Y’all glitter in the sunlight? It’s cool I went to a rave once too, that glitter shit it hard to get off. Like c’mon. Why would you wanna be in high school for a milenia anyways.
Also why would you wnt to take the same classes over and over? With college they could pick and choose. Like imagine.
“Dude are you sure you want to do History again? Last time you tried to fight the professor.”
“Screw it I’m majoring in the arts. They look like they know how to have fun.”
“Why are you majoring in maths? It’s boring.” “It’s the only thing they don’t keep changing.”
“You’re just taking a bunch of random classes. What even is your major this time?” “Partying.”
Actually spiderverse was really cute in how loosely its used its ‘i love yous’ and especially how none of them were romantic!! I mean obvsly theres miles’ dad making him say i love you before school, but theres also peter’s quick “i love you, im so proud of you!!” during the fight (which he said so easily and delightedly!! He was so proud and happy about this kid omg), and noir saying “i love you all.” as a goodbye when he goes back through the portal like i cant think another superhero movie, or most movies in general tbh, who use the word love so carefreely. and maybe it has something to do with the fact that spiderverse is animated, but its just really refreshing and sweet, its adorable to hear every time and shows how close and family-like all the spiders got so quickly!
“Consensual sex” is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as “non consensual sex”, which there isn’t. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn’t say “breathing swimming” and “non breathing swimming”, you say swimming and drowning.
reblogging for that metaphor I like that metaphor.
Poor Person: I need food stamps so I don’t starve.
Conservative: That’s lazy. Get a job.
Poor Person: Fine. I got a job, but it doesn’t pay enough. The minimum wage needs to be raised.
Conservative: Still lazy. Go to college so you can get a better job.
Poor Person: Fine. But I’ll need financial assistance to afford college.
Conservative: Still lazy.
Poor Person: Fine. I went to college, put myself in debt, and got a degree. But the only jobs I can get without experience are unpaid internships. Businesses should be required to pay their interns.
Conservative: …
Conservative: Still lazy.
Poor Person: How the hell do you expect me to get out of debt?
Conservative: It’s your own fault. You choose to go to college even though you couldn’t afford it.
Poor Person: But you’re the one who keeps telling poor people to go to college. Are you saying that I’m lazy if I don’t go to college, and lazy if I do?
