Love is in the air! oh wait no it's just a virus✨

I said, "That's just not true. Sometimes what doesn't kill you leaves you brittle and injured or traumatized."

He stopped and thought about that for a while. He came back later, and said, "It's like wood glue."

He pointed to my bookshelf, which he helped me salvage a while ago. He said, "Do you remember how I explained that, once we used the wood glue on them, the shelves would actually be stronger than they were before they broke?"

I did.

"But before we used the wood glue, those shelves were broken. They couldn't hold up shit. If you had put books on them, they would have collapsed. And that wood glue had to set awhile. If we put anything on them too early, they would have collapsed just the same as if we'd never fixed them at all. You've got to give these things time to set."

It sounded like a pretty good metaphor to me, but one thing I did pick up on was that whatever broke those shelves, that's not the thing that made them stronger. That just broke them. It was being fixed that made them stronger. It was the glue.

One of the crew members said it took six people holding the door up on the other side to keep Mads from breaking it down

Chronically offline v Chronically online Extrovert v introvert Loves giving attention v loves getting attention

These two are just not real. They are a genuine polarity its so funny you would not believe it, you'd think they're some fanfic trope

Like, oh yes, sure, ofc the cat-lover is a dog-coded person and the dog-lover is a cat-coded person. Of course. Mhm yup, sounds about right. These fuckers are simply not real people.

Oh you thought thats it? NO

Oldest child (saps) v youngest child (flux)

Fav blood type? O- the universal donor (saps) v AB+ the universal recipient (flux)

Good cook v good baker

Bonus point on saps and flux polarity: their thoughts on death and immortality. Saps doesn't want immortality and accepts death. Like saps does not want to live past his loved ones, he wants to age with them Flux wants immortality and fears death.

HOW IS THIS HAPPENING

HOW DO YOU BOTH EXIST

THESE TYPES OF THINGS ARE ONLY SEEN IN FICTION!!!

Idk how they manage to be such best friends when they're genuine polar opposites of each other ON EXTREME ENDS
