#fun fact i've actually almost been struck by lightning before!#i was a teenager walking home with a friend and we were walking down a long flat driveway cutting across to another street and #lightning struck down a couple feet away from us and the static charge in the air was wickedly strong and you just *felt* it #i had a crt tv for most of my childhood and it's the feeling/smell of being way too close to that thing #but multiplied exponentially #anyway my friend (smartly) BOLTED and i just shrugged and went 'eh. i'll be fine' and did not run anywhere #still love thunderstorms though jfl;asdjf #&; a great idea can change the world 「 hc 」#AND IT'S TOTALLY FAIR ON HIS PART - especially after the pt2 fiasco where he could've died and ended up shot back to the past #unexpectedly - i can't blame the man.
