God I love comics. I used to fantasize of a deadly hurricane hitting my town while I was in a Barnes and Noble so I could read comics & manga uninterrupted for DAYS.

I used to wish the power was out so my mom would take us to the library so I can secretly read Soul Eater while she taught my sisters on the computers.
Grew up in Louisiana and I remember during Hurricane Katrina we lost power for well over a week. It was Spider-Man & Calvin and Hobbes books that helped keep little Dave sane.
It says a lot about our generation that we’re often hoping for some kind of disaster to absolve us of responsibility so we can take some ‘me time’ and just enjoy the things we enjoy
Never thought like that. Being puerto rican i know what they do to my homeland. My people get their homes destroyed rich outsiders buy the land up cheap and push them out
It is a privilege to indulge in apocalyptic thinking, I readily admit that, but I think part of it is the underlying dread that soon as we’re unable to study or work that privilege dries up. Only ever a missed pay-check away from homelessness or a bad grade from being locked out of pathways
How about a mall and even its the perfect thing because of unlimited supplies and even lots of my favorite soda and even more stuff. Remember dawn of the dead and even the videogame Dead Rising and even on the roof top is a good view and for playing Golf and seeing the golfballs fly into zombies .
Understandable haha! Back in high school, on the last day I snuck into the library and just read all day. The staff never noticed or left me alone. I felt like I was in heaven
85% of my fantasies growing up were about some terrible thing happening (zombies, virus that wiped out all adults) and then getting to freely raid stores.
also all heavily reliant on the assumption there would "battery packs" lying around that you could put AAs in just run stuff at home with
Reminds me of when there was a massive storm heading to my country a few weeks ago and I was fully prepared to play DS games during the blackout. Then I ended up being one of the only people in the country to not lose power during the storm
