You can tell when someone’s frame of reference for “normal people” is more “people at the church sponsored ice cream social” and less “people on the bus”
Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

john watching arthur get sick is so heartbreaking to me
arthur was probably always so.. big to john, taller, broader, bigger. he can run while carrying deer, lasso wild horses, fight men twice his size, an unstoppable force.
he'd probably of thought that there was nothing that could truly stop arthur, that in his eyes, he would always be his big brother, a man could intimidate those around him with his mere presence, casting a wide and tall shadow on those near him, on john.
so imagining john seeing this, mountain of a man, unable to walk without crumbling to the floor, coughing up blood, getting weaker, thinner, smaller, something john likely never thought would be feasible - i often wonder what would have gone through his head, would he deny what he was seeing, burying his head into the sand, not accepting what was right in front of him?
if arthur had let him see, let him know, like he had with charles, that he was dying, would it have changed anything? would he have fought harder, on top of that hill? would he have insisted on getting arthur help, so that he could get through this and survive, refusing to believe that his brother was dying - til he was forced to accept the inevitable?
or did he know, and that there was no changing arthurs mind - knowing that arthur had accepted his death the moment he learned he was sick? that on that hill, that would have been the last time his big brother would ever cast his wide and tall shadow ever again?
Hosea is so sweet here. This is when he talks about his own struggles with addiction.
Part 4 of these, I wanted to make some more
"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.
