Pocket Full of Sunshine

i cannot explain it but these all have the same vibes

we used to have sitcoms about people, usually school age children, complaining about how the world was going to end and then some grandparent level character would give them the "first time?" speech and then tell them about how everybody goes through this. then comes the discussion about having a limited perception and how they need to expand their life. then everybody chills out and the episode ends.

I got the speech from my parents. I commented when I was in my early twenties (in the stone age, about fifteen years ago give or take) about how pointless everything felt because the right wing was already on the rise and blocking any effort to make things better and the environment was falling apart and why bother doing anything when by the time we could get a majority big enough to make a difference we'd have passed a dozen points of no return.

i love seeing my non-ygo followers in my notes going "what the actual Fuck happens in yugioh" because there is no adequate way to answer that question. everything happens. everything you can possibly think of that could ever happen, happens in yugioh.

i need to stress something. in this poll there are 12 options. 11 of them happened for real and are not exaggerations or worded to be intentionally misleading. there is 1 explicitly correct answer that did not, in any way shape or form, happen in either the anime or manga.

Remember the way they treated MLK at the time, too.
