fucking bullshit how when a member of the working class isn't thriving in a system meant to exploit them it's somehow their fucking fault because one way or another they've somehow Done Something Wrong.
"you should have asked for more hours" what if you're working all you fucking can while still being able to stay awake on the job. which we shouldn't have to fucking do.
"you shouldn't have spent too much on things you don't need" you should be able to spend on one or two nice fucking things without being broke
"you should get store brand instead of name brand" getting the store brand of everything still amounts to hundreds of fucking dollars for a week's worth of groceries
"you should have listened to the financial advice you got as a teenager" we did. we fucking did.
"you shouldn't have spent so much in loans" we did so we could get those Good Jobs You Need Degrees For like you fucking told us to
"you should have gotten a better degree" I shouldn't fucking need one to have a job that I can live off of
"you should have started working sooner so you could have saved up" not every teenager has parents that will fucking let them work and even then you should not have to work on top of school as a fucking child
"you should have listened to this financial coach" I am not fucking poor because I didn't listen to some grifter trying to sell me a fucking "course" that I can't afford. I fucking promise you that.
"you should have" "you should" "you shouldn't have" "you shouldn't" you should maybe fucking consider that this is bullshit. jumping through these hoops is bullshit. trying to do everything you were advised to just to still end up in shitty circumstances is bullshit. trying to prove you've made all the choices you were told were the right ones just to try to get people to believe your struggling isn't your fault is bullshit. still being told it's your fault because you didn't do this Secret Financial Life Hack or whatever is bullshit. it's all bullshit.

Reverse City spoilers but this guy owns my Mihile's whole ass. He doesn't even have a face but he moved me in this story so much. Sad author guy who put his entire soul into his books but also needed the courage of another human being to have the will to live. Kind of boring in his own way but he was so cool-- 'we're all sad lonely pathetic outcasts who want to see our next sunset' theme got me ok
Not to mention there's something really intriguing about isekai'ing a guy from the normal world to this alien one while the PC is from a fantasy world, so you're technically both isekai protags but reversed as well

Tbh my biggest fear for the finale isn't that we won't get dadrius. My biggest fear is that dadrius will be shoehorned in in a way that makes Darius look bad.
Like I still can't believe that they did Gus' character so dirty in FTF. But the fandom was able to overlook that because we know that Gus and Hunter are friends. Darius gets so little screentime it's like. He has zero wiggle room here.

“ it's getting dark... ” bright hazels peer up to meet with dark gray, ominous clouds littering the vast expanse of the sky —— a sign of a storm ? she wouldn't know, having only seen a vacant sky as far as her memories go. a distant crackle of a noise makes her shoulders flinch ( like an instinctive response like a small animal to any slight threat ) and hakuno gets the feeling that whatever it is, it was likely to be unpleasant.
she turns to her companion then, “ shouldn't you be on your way to find shelter now ? ” soft voice contrasted with the blunt words, it was a question asked out of concern but the delivery made it a little... super super bad ! / @masarn not a surprise anymore but HI ILY
