i get a lot of happiness trying to envision the conversation that started the shift from blue/gansey to blue/gansey/henry
blue and gansey are sitting alone watching tv or something. gansey is probably on the end of the couch, blue leaned against his side
both of them are thinking about it. they are thinking about it really quite hard. the tv is too quiet to actually be heard but they’re both so lost in thought that they don’t notice
finally blue takes a sharp breath “u know. henry’s pretty cool. actually”
and immediately gansey’s internal monologue is i know i know i know i know do you ever want to kiss him on his mouth i know i know i know
but out loud he’s like “yeah. yeah i like him a lot. he’s .. cool”
and blue nods. “yeah. cool.”
and they go back to silence. it’s a loUD silence. they both hear it. gansey starts tapping his fingers
it’s annoying but blue can’t even be bothered, she hardly notices
gansey opens his mouth to talk, though he doesn’t say anything, he just makes that noise where you’ve almost decided you’re gonna speak but then dont
blue turns her head too sharply “huh?”
“oh it’s just……….. you know. sometimes do you ever……… stop me if this is…… bad….. but do you ever…………….”
but he never finishes the damn sentence he just looks at her. he practically has question marks in his eyes
and blue kind of sits back a little
and she very carefully says “………… y..es……”
and he replies “….yes?”
as if to clarify, she goes on, “like…… henry……… he’s super cool….”
they beat around the goddamn bush for so long before gansey finally breaks, “DO YOU EVER WANNA KISS HIM TOO” and blue just shouts “YEs ” and then she kisses gansey
and then they go find henry and repeat the entire Talking In Circles “you’re just ……… really .. cool, henry……” process again , but this time it’s henry who flatly asks “is this about how desperately y’all wanna kiss me because believe me, i’ve Noticed”
Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings
This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”
Great! How do I uninstall it?
“great! how do i uninstall it?” carries the same vibe as “thanks! i hate it” but more ACTIONABLE bc we gettin our shit together in 2k18
We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.
1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.
2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking
3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.
4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.
5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.
