Funny how attachment works, isn't it?
You get attached too much, you're sensitive.. you don't get attached, you're heartless.. you get attached and want some time for yourself, you're selfish.. you get attached and you're with them all the time, you're clingy..
You're being judged every minute.. you're also being judged for the people you're with..
And sometimes, you get attached as if it was meant to be, your only wish is to be happy with them all the time, but you're so helpless that it breaks you everyday.. but still there's no way you're letting them go..
Which of these is the best one to be?
Back to this place with a new sketch!
Please make a post about the story of the RMS Carpathia, because it's something that's almost beyond belief and more people should know about it.
Carpathia received Titanic’s distress signal at 12:20am, April 15th, 1912. She was 58 miles away, a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours.
(Californian’s exact position at the time is…controversial. She was close enough to have helped. By all accounts she was close enough to see Titanic’s distress rockets. It’s uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond, or how many might not have been lost if she had been there. This is not the place for what-ifs. This is about what was done.)
Carpathia’s Captain Rostron had, yes, rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator, ordered his ship to Titanic’s aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed. The man had never in his life responded to an emergency call. His goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it.
All of Carpathia’s lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment. Oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy; oil would coat and calm the water near Carpathia if that happened, making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her. He ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better, and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived, in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once.
I don’t know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not. I think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that. I think he did it anyway because, god, you have to hope.
Carpathia had three dining rooms, which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations. Each had a doctor assigned to it. Hot soup, coffee, and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room, and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out. By this time, many of the passengers were awake–prepping a ship for disaster relief isn’t quiet–and all of them stepped up to help, many donating their own clothes and blankets.
And then he did something I tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support.
Here’s the thing about steamships: They run on steam. Shocking, I know; but that steam powers everything on the ship, and right now, Carpathia needed power. So Rostron turned off hot water and central heating, which bled valuable steam power, to everywhere but the dining rooms–which, of course, were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors. He woke up all the engineers, all the stokers and firemen, diverted all that steam back into the engines, and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could. And when she’d done that, he asked her to go faster.
I need you to understand that you simply can’t push a ship very far past its top speed. Pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for. Pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless–it’s difficult to maneuver–but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines. Ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot. They can’t do it. It can’t be done.
Carpathia’s absolute do-or-die, the-engines-can’t-take-this-forever top speed was fourteen knots. Dodging icebergs, in the dark and the cold, surrounded by mist, she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half.
No one would have asked this of them. It wasn’t expected. They were almost sixty miles away, with icebergs in their path. They had a responsibility to respond; they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well. No one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue. No one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach. No one but themselves.
They damn near broke the laws of physics, galloping north headlong into the dark in the desperate hope that if they could shave an hour, half an hour, five minutes off their arrival time, maybe for one more person those five minutes would make the difference. I say: three people had died by the time they were lifted from the lifeboats. For all we know, in another hour it might have been more. I say they made all the difference in the world.
This ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours. Just barely over three hours later, they arrived at Titanic’s last known coordinates. Half an hour after that, at 4am, they would finally find the first of the lifeboats. it would take until 8:30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard. Passengers from Carpathia universally gave up their berths, staterooms, and clothing to the survivors, assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could.
In total, 705 people of Titanic’s original 2208 were brought onto Carpathia alive. No other ship would find survivors.
At 12:20am April 15th, 1912, there was a miracle on the North Atlantic. And it happened because a group of humans, some of them strangers, many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner, looked at each other and decided: I cannot live with myself if I do anything less.
I think the least we can do is remember them for it.
I can’t begin to describe how happy and flattered and a little teary I am that this just broke 100k.
I may be the actual only human being on Tumblr with a post this popular that I not only don’t regret making, but am actually HAPPY whenever I notice a surge in its circulation.
I never intended this to gain any traction at all (you’ll notice there’s no sources or anything–this was a personal ramble, prompted in good humor by a friend after I jokingly said that I wished someone would give me an excuse to cry about Carpathia on Tumblr so I could get it out of my system.) I literally expected to get, like, maybe 20 likes and a reblog, from friends, indulging me in my nonsense.
It just….means a lot to me that it’s touched so many people. I see a lot of tags to the effect of “HOW DARE YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS AND MAKE ME CRY ABOUT A BOAT” that are often really funny, but overwhelmingly the tags on this post are from people saving it for a rainy day, or remarking in a sort of quiet awe that they never even really thought about her role in the story–and God knows I never did, I learned it by complete accident much as most of the people who’ve found this post.
And so many of you guys are taking strength and reassurance from the reminder not only that people are capable of amazing things together, but simply that kindness matters and that a simple, tiny act of compassion is never wasted. I’m just really glad to have been able to do that for some folks.
If I can just add one personal note. I need to emphasize something I only touched on in the original post.
I need to emphasize that Carpathia failed.
A lot of the tags and comments have a tinge of…despair, or guilt, or wistfulness about things like this happening so rarely. Or inadequacy, or just being overwhelmed or unhappy about not being in a position to step up in a comparable way. And I want to gently bring up the fact that this is still the sinking of the Titanic.
They did not get there in time. They did not save the ship. It can be argued that they may not even have saved a single life; we have no way of knowing. This was still a horrific maritime disaster mired in arrogance and incompetence and a lack of care.
If the response to this story shows anything, it shows this: It matters that they tried.
Even though they got there too late, even though the ship still sank. It matters that they tried. The difference between making the best reasonable speed after confirming the seriousness of the situation, and the miracle they pulled off–it matters. It makes all the difference. Even if it made no difference at all. Not one of you read this and concluded that I was stupid for caring so much when the Titanic still sank and all those people still died.
You don’t have to fix the world. You’ll likely be cold and sick and miserable and testy and scared, and unprepared, and in over your head, and entirely too small to be of any real use. It feels stupid, passing out blankets and coffee in the middle of an ice field knowing what just happened. It’s hard to feel anything but useless when all you can do is tap a wireless transmitter and promise help that you know will come too late.
It matters that they fought for those people. It matters that they cared, and it matters that they tried. It matters that they didn’t stop. If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t have read this far.
READ. THIS. WITHOUT. FAIL.
cats Are *NOT* EVIL
*scoffs*
Yeah right
*horrified*
Ofcourse they're not!! I have 4 of them cuties!
Don't try and convince me otherwise
They are master manipulators and act all nice so you take care of them well
Cat people are very gullible
Smh smh
*gasp*
Noooo we're not!
Call me a crazy cat lady if you want but I've had, like, more than 30 cats so far in my life and I've never been described as gullible
Wow!
You're...old
A little older than you, yes
But in normal human lifespan, I'm still very young thank you very much

I'm actually new to this guy because I haven't seen The Vampire Diaries yet😅 did this as a request by my friend..
you know what would make me really, indescribably happy right now? my own personal library. with a secret code installed on a secret door only i know about. sorry, you can’t come in. i’m having my own adventures without you. bye.
hey bucko
heard you were 5'4
You gonna throw a pie at me?
you know what? no
im gonna give you one instead
this one looks super pretty ngl
boohoo throw it at her
We're sharing the pie rn :)
i'll throw a pie at you instead
But why?
gotta complete the job
Tis a pretty pie tho :(
i'll throw another pie, dont care
But what if that pie would be pretty too?
dont care, MU of throwing it at you will be greater than MU of aesthetics
marginal utility
Dumb it down for the kid please
microeconomics concept, quantifies the satisfaction gained from consumption of goods/services
So what unit is the satisfaction measured in? Like, ya know how there's grams and litres and stuff. How is satisfaction measured? Also- when do I get to study microeconomics? Is marginal utility a concept?
it is measured in units, since its a theoretical concept, you can't actually measure it. it's quite interesting.
you get to study micro economics if you take economics is class 11-12. and yes, marginal utility is a concept then. it is pretty good, and easily relatable to real life
So like, just units? Theory sounds great and all but how do you even draw a graph showing all the increase and decrease in customer satisfaction? Like, what are the x and y?
So next year then. Boring ):<
ah ha, the whole concept is introduced with graphs
the graph is drawn with Total Utility and marginal Utility, and units of the X and Y are utility and price of item/no. of items
lemme get my old book, i'll send pics
Themk :)
Here, brief overview
Are linear graphs theoretical? Or is the consistency possible?
Theoretically possible i believe(will have to check tho) for mu to decline at a constant rate, but I haven’t seen such a graph yet, because the mu by units consumed drops at an uneven rate
The line in middle of graph 2 of chapter at a glance if of consumer’s equilibrium, which defines the ideal amount of consumption of a good at a certain price for maximum utility
Consumer's equilibrium huh?
So it's good for both the producer and the consumer? Or am I just misunderstanding?
this is only from the consumer's point of view, producer's is another concept, then we correlate the concepts later on
When are we throwing the pie I came here for seeing pie get bashed into someone’s face nOT mAtH cLaSs/j (it was acc interesting tho so-)
*posh voice* It is actually microeconomics *flips hair* though a peasant like you won't notice the difference 💅
PIE. PIE. PIE. I WANT TO EAT THE PIE OFF THE FLOOR THAT WAS My AiM-
*gibs pie*
Be happy puny mortal *blows nails*

no that’s GAELIC (irish) bread this is GARLIC bread
vs
Twas a typo -.-
I know : D
*reluctantly gibs garlic bread*
Throwing pies to intelligent conversations about marginal utility to garlic breads...

I sometimes wish I was as brave as the female characters I've read about😍 Take Katniss for example.. It would be so satisfying to have a bow and arrow and shoot annoying people in the head😏 (which is never gonna happen, don't worry).
Believe me when I tell you, this sketch did NOT turn out as expected😐
