Friends lift each other up!! In this case physically as well as emotionally!~
YOU decide who you want to be…!!
Eraserhead : Don't you think the fact we privatized half of law enforcement and merged it with the entertainment industry is highly problematic?
All Might : [eating All Might cereals] I'm so delicious.
First ape to go to the watering hole with a container and put some of the water in it so that they could drink more later without returning to the watering hole must have been lauded as a fucking genius.
i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.
i cant find the post talking about the league character designs anymore but they should have really kept the pink bandana twice got from toga during the overhaul arc as a permanent part of his character design
like aside from slightly better communicating "oh yeah, this suit is Literally the thing holding this guy together" it also looks really heckin cute
Happy divorce party for Rei 💙❄️

PS This was originally a polaroid strip print that I sent to my patreons last month! If you want some cute merch every month consider supporting me at patreon.com/beibi 🌻♥👁👁
me: because you have this story set in this superhero world, but like, the horrors of modern Japanese society are still very much present
me: (like why the hell would a highly individualized quirk society still be using family registration and koseki? the reason is because Horikoshi is Japanese and didn't think that was weird, much like when Americans toss around their Imperial measuring system willy-nilly, but it says something about BNHA as a window to modern Japan)
me: Mental illness is seen as something shameful and to hide away from
me: I mean, it's crazy that Todo's mom was in that hospital for 10 years. like most modern psychiatric facilities would promote rehabilitating a patient back into their life way earlier
me: the fact that Todoroki implies that he has to save her from the hospital says A LOT about her situation. she's probably been totally abandoned by her family thanks to the mental health stigma/the fact Endeavor managed to charm them into making her marry him to begin with
me: (also how wealthy Endeavor is to be able to fund her permanent stay and yet how empty and cold her room is)
me: (even terminally ill people don't stay in the hospital that long, it's so expensive and no hospice wants to tear someone totally out of their normal life)
me: (so like I said, honestly terrifying)
me: (like Endeavor is the worst but also, fuck Todomama's family. They clearly didn't do shit for their daughter.)
me: It's still a shonen and they don't criticize society so much as the individual but the implications are so important and it becomes fascinating to pull apart because there's so much of the modern Japanese fantasy and reality mixed up in this superhero world
me: like the hero culture in HeroAca has startling parallels to the horrifically exploitative idol culture in Japan
me: kind of the hyper commercialization of personalities and the idea of rankings being some be all, end all
which paired with, instead of a sexualized consumption, but a consumption of violence, is kind of startling
me: (well there's still sexualized consumption because the treatment of women as sexual objects is rampant even here)
me:in some ways, it's almost hunger games esque, this commercialization of violence and the audience participation in this act
Why does the HEALTH merch store go so hard?
