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

I'm a good fucking writer.

I don't like romance heavy books and such, so I don't usually actively search that out. But, I came across a fanfic on AO3 (Reverti Ad Praeteritum by Batsutouaai) with romance as a sub plot. (It's a ship that I don't actually like and usually avoid, but the story premise drew me in so I stayed)

17 chapters in and the two *finally* kissed! Like-! The romantic tension was nearly killing me.

Anyway.

Now I'm sad......I have to clock in 1 minute
