Saw a post about helping people that used the analogy of "if you see someone fall off a cruiseship and theres a life preserver ring on the wall next to you do you walk away or do you throw them the life preserver? Of course you throw them the life preserver." And i dont want to add to or tag the post with any sort of correction because its literally not the point at all but i am desperate to say that the first thing they teach you when you work on a cruise ship is that if someone falls overboard you Do Not Look Away
If theres a life preserver nearby but you have to turn your back to get it, tough luck. If theres someone nearby who can't hear you but you could run and get them, absolutely not. You see someone go overboard you point at them and never ever let them out of your sight because looking away even once could mean losing them forever, so you just have to trust that someone will hear you scream for help but you cant for any reason look away
And maybe that adds to the life preserver metaphor somehow but mostly i just need you to know if you spot someone in the water you point at them and you watch them close and you scream for help
sylvia plath, todd anderson and virginia woolf (aka ACTUAL tortured poets) watching taylor “im breaking up with my boyfriend for his intense depression and blaming it on him, im dating a racist who enjoys watching woc being brutalized and harasses young woc artists, i sent my fans out on a hate train to attack a young woc actress for a line she had to say as part of her job to show how mentally ill her character was, im dating a maga supporter, i refuse to say anything about a current genocide despite being the most influential person in the world right now, i am a billionaire, i fly 13 minute flights and have the highest carbon emission of any celebrity, i am a known white feminist who only speaks about issues when it affects me and has constantly let my fans get away with extreme racism and even encouraged it by associating myself with known racists” swift call herself a tortured poet (her writing sounds like a bunch of thesaurus words slapped over gabba hanna and rupi kaur-esque poetry that was created purely as a trinket for an edgy pinterest board)
I wonder what Greygolds favorite tadpole ability is? Considering that he has not yet absorbed the astral one. Luck of the Far Realms? Force tunnel? Charm? Hehe
Ahahaha Oh Man, the power of friendship is rotting Greygold's brain enough as it is-
but yeeeeeah, this Tav has NO IDEA what any of those tadpoles abilities do missed out on a LOT OF FUN
Had yet to eat a tadpole. Loved collecting them though. Stacked them right next to their pillow. Drove Greygold's own lilttle power-hungry brain-sucker crazy.
I've decided I love punk Steve but only if he still looks and acts exactly the same way, he just also happens to own every punk record he's been able to get his hands on since '78
Eddie loses his mind the first time he stays over and sees Steve's massive record collection
tom putting the sticker on gregs forehead in the very same spot he kissed him, making sure his loyalty and dedication to him is as clear as possible, marking him as HIS, tom had like a whole roll of stickers left, he didnt want the furniture, or expensive goods, no, he used his sticker for the one thing that mattered, the only thing he needed, the only thing he wanted was greg.
