#and the very calm sea

time to say goodbye.

[ssaltlicker]

I feel like you can tell who reads and doesnt read poetry by how they took the “dirt under your nails” comment. To me, it immediately read as “we are inseparable” like saying “the salt and the sea” or something. You arent focusing on the pieces individually, but the whole that they form together. AKA, being so close to someone/something that you are forever intertwined.

Its just shocking how many people took it as some kind of dig or insult. Getting your hands dirty symbolizes hard work. Someone that “never gets their hands dirty” is someone that doesnt work hard. Caitlyn WAS the latter, the elite that puts the work on other people. The whole point is that she has changed through work, but also through her relationship with vi.

Also; the phrase is actually pretty common in some regions (usually some alteration of it, anyways). Its been a phrase of affection for a while. Just funny how you can tell a lot about someones background by how they interpret certain phrases

when @awake-my-oceans said that I got stuck because of understandable very deep hurt but then I got unstuck and it was just like “look at her go”

5 and 7 for Ockham ⚓🪞💙

5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

This is the exact nonsense the Navy pulled on Ockham back on the surface. Ockham will not give a speech in English. Ockham probably wouldn't do it in Flemish either, because what's heshethey supposed to say? If you tried to put himherthem on the spot at, say, a wedding, you'd probably end up with a sentence and a half and vague disappointment. It's possible to get Ockham to talk about things that heshethey're interested in (food and minor craft/engineering projects seem to be lucrative topics), but in a conversation, as opposed to a speech.

7. Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Sedate, iceberg, opinionated.

Frustrated, untethered, managing.

shadow knowing of weather thanks to all the books he and maria would read on the ARK, but getting to experience it for the first time

finding out thunder can be a lot louder than he expected (he definitely thinks something's going Wrong the first time the building shakes; he's never really one to take comfort in storms like some people do, but he's not afraid of them either once he's used to the way they sound)

being completely captivated by snow because no book can accurately describe that specific quality of quiet and sereneness when it falls, enough so that he barely notices the cold (he tries to count the flakes at first, but gets so entranced by the way it looks at night under a streetlamp he loses track and ends up just basking in the almost-silence)

conflicted about a warm summer rain because he doesn't like water in his fur, but petrichor is almost captivating in the same way snowfall is and keeps him outside in it longer than he intended (he finds he likes the smell of it more than the sound; he promises to get himself a porch so he can sit outside during rainstorms just for that reason)

taking the same fascination in clouds that some have about stars, because to him they're the far-away whimsical thing that can make interesting shapes and pictures

resting while curled up in a field of flowers and getting lulled to sleep by the sound of the breeze rustling the grass and his quills

gimme more autistic aki

I wanna cradle him like a baby and chew on his topknot

(I can’t explain it but I think he would specifically love the deep sea, not for conspiracies but just cus there r so many weird fish down there)

aki was obsessed with the ocean when he was younger. he always imagined moving away from his house in the middle of nowhere to live by the sea. when his parents were busy tending to his brother, they bought aki books on ocean life to keep him occupied.
