loki tried poisoning thor when they were young and thor totally pretended to fall for it and played dead and loki got all excited and proud of himself but then reality set in and he panicked and started crying and thor totally laughed as he cried for frigga like “come help, my brother is dying” and then when she arrived thor was fine and drinking from an unpoisoned cup like “loki, what’s good?”
so since summer is finally FINALLY starting, i have one big thing i want to say:
Don’t push people in the pool, lake, or ocean!
There are many (fairly obvious) reasons you should never do this! I will list them
they cannot swim!
whether it’s because they don’t know how or because they physically aren’t able to, being thrown into a body of water when you’re not confident in your abilities can be terrifying
they are wearing a device that cannot get wet!
yes, it could be a phone, but it could also be an insulin pump or heart monitor or any other type of sensor that would be compromised when immersed in water and cost thousands of dollars to replce
they are afraid of water!
drowing is a very real, and fairly common, fear or phobia,taking away someone’s control by throwing them in the water can be very triggering
they don’t want to be in the water!
if someone doesn’t want to be in the pool/lake/ocean, they don’t have to have a reason for their boundaries and desires to be respected
I no longer go to pool parties because so many people (especially drunk college students) have a penchant for throwing/pushing people in the water without their consent, and I have had an $3k insulin pump DESTROYED because someone thought I was being ‘lame’ and ‘a party pooper’ because I wouldn’t get in the pool, and decided to shove me in instead
pool parties and lake parties and beach parties are tons of fun and everyone should be comfortable and able to enjoy themselves while they are there, regardless of ability or preference
i crave simple things in life like fresh sourdough bread with a shallow but ornate dipping bowl containing olive oil/balsamic/fresh herbs on a moonlit evening overlooking the sea in some fuckall, Mediterranean location where i’m left alone to eat my bread and let the iodine from the sea air heal my torn up spirit & also six hundred million dollars in unmarked duffle bags stuffed into a swiss bank account box i receive for completing a job of dubious morality
everyone at E3 getting hype about how you can be gay in a video game now is just absolutely going to flip their shit, bust a nut, and burn their brisket when they hear about how you can be gay in real life
