entschuldigen Sie, aber ich bin schwul

You need to eat some vegetables in your diet or you will become a lich.

You have to wear a life jacket or you will literally drown and die.

You need to be able to exist in public spaces with children.

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

of course, being a very charming and popular son is all well and good for ilya, until grigori becomes paranoid that ilya has enough sway to overthrow him. ilya would never do this, but grigori cannot be convinced otherwise. so he comes up with a plot to poison the carafe they're drinking from, knowing he has the antidote and ilya does not. what grigori doesn't know is that shane tests all food and drink before they ever touch ilya's lips. shane takes the poison meant for ilya and collapses in ilya's arms.
