this is either madness...or brilliance

how,did I think he just looked,like that

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business

I really wish some of y'all had paid more attention in your English classes when the teachers went over the difference between a hero and a protagonist, a villain and an antagonist, and a good character and a good person. litcherally so much of fandom discourse around narratives and characters could be resolved by a high school level ELA level of understanding narrative devices 😩

my graduating class in high school averaged at the 7th grade reading level 😰

me every night when I sit in the dark stabbing my charger into my phone until I find the socket: don’t think of that post,don’t think of that post—
