#Yk that trend where women ask their bf’s how often they think about the Roman Empire

I’m obsessed with the new mitski album… and this song specifically. I mean cmon, it’s the one with the most hype around it for a reason.

I think what makes this album and specifically this song so “them” isn’t even necessarily the romantic subplot they have, but rather the realization that the love they have is truly beautiful, and that it’s something of value. It’s the only thing they truly have for the rest of their lives; the ability to love someone so deeply.

And that’s kind of what this entire album is about right? Love and loss, mitski herself literally saying that this album is about her realization that her greatest accomplishment was no material item or physical action, but rather the ability and the action to love someone.

And to be honest, Ochako’s unrequited love of Izuku and then required love of Himiko shows this. All of her heroics matter, and she will always be more than just another man’s wife (a title she would honestly be stuck with were her and Izuku to get together), but the fact that her feelings were able to change the entire world is astounding.

The title of the album “The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We” is actually a joke, referencing those welcome signs between states on highways and such. Things like “Welcome to Delaware the first state” or “Welcome to Pennsylvania the keystone state”. And through this reference this album also becomes a commentary on the political hellscape that the US has become.

I just love it. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Oh and also here’s a version with a SH warning bc her wrist is cut
