just now remembering this. like full stop i don't think i've thought anything of this experience since a few days after it happened.
but more than a year ago. i was taking a bus from malaga to granada and one of the station employees came up to me (i was the last person in line to board the bus at this moment) and ask me if i could help out this gentleman (the station man's words precisely, he called him caballero) he was leading with him. and it was immediately evident that this guy was visually impaired or blind.
and well. i was like 'yeah of course' because yeah of course.
and i did, sort of. but i wasn't sure like, how far was too far. with helping. so i only helped minimally. and also i didn't immediately fess up that i didn't speak spanish natively, in fact i don't think i mentioned it at all. (maybe i said i was a student? i can't recall). which i should have said immediately so that he understood that if i said something wrong or weird, it wasn't me getting impatient with him or exasperated over assisting but simply low confidence in my imperfect linguistic grasp (and just overall low confidence, generally, extensively, but nevertheless). or so that i could have asked somebody else to help if he didn't feel comfortable with me and my incompetent ass, which would have been totally fair. i probably should have said that from the get go, really, but it felt like it might have come off as me trying to brush off the task and trying to make excuses to get out of it. yeeeeah, so the two of us basically stood there in silence except when i had to give verbal directions for like "walk forward" "stop" "there's stairs" etc. which were overall pretty stilted, i think.
also, he got off the bus just fine but then i wasn't sure if he wanted help from there, so i let him alone. i'm sure he could have gotten out of the building without issue eventually, but it was taking him a bit of time with the layout, to find the door from the bus stall, whatnot, and everyone was giving him weird looks. which really just rubbed me the wrong way, so after maybe 15 or 30 seconds, i did go up to him and offer to assist him again. so i got him to the taxi area and into a taxi, if i'm remembering the events correctly.
simultaneously a nice experience and a super humiliating one. because like i am literally so👏 dumb👏 and i think way too much but i thought if i said something about not speaking spanish super fluently that i would get in trouble or something. so instead i probably made him feel terrible and was like suuuuuper awkward about helping him. like bitch, if you don't know, just ask what he wants you to do to help, holy fuck.
now i know better, but i would go back and slap myself right in the face if i had the chance.
#i'm happy to have helped but deadass i should have allowed him to find someone more qualified#such as someone who could clearly communicate in spanish 🤦‍♀️ it's not giving in it's fucking helping by recognizing your limitations#also i'm pretty sure the silence was in some part because i was overthinking whether this poor dude even Wanted to have conversation#as one does#literally just kill me this is too much secondhand embarrassment#this poor poor guy#at the very least i will know better on the... extremely off chance i have a similar experience in the future#see also: when i helped a kid and her mom find their youngest sibling/child (who was like 3) when again. not a native spanish speaker#again with that one... i was just being dumb. like when the kid found her sister? unsure what else to do i started walking away#shouldn't have done that#walked down through these gardens for a short while and encountered the mom. very stiffly told her the two kids were together#then unsure what else to do. she leaves to go find them and i walk off instead of like. leading her to the children#shouldn't have done that 👀#common themes#half of this is overthinking and the other half is underthinking like is there even a solution for this sheer dumbassery?#relating to these experiences. i wouldn't call myself a confident spanish speaker... but it's nice to know i've come a long way. oof#oof oof oof#both these two things happened over two days in like last week of september/first week of october 2021#quickly i gotta go to bed before i stay up all night agonizing over my mistakes. as if i don't already do that goddamn#but on second thought. i've been thinking about this long enough that things are slooooowly returning to me in small bits#maybe we did converse? like a tiny bit? tiny tiny. and i remember he said he was a student. so maybe i told him i was too? i'm not sure...#also in both these situations but definitely in the latter. there weren't like. other people around lining up to help. it was kinda just me#and when you're the 'first responder.' well. you do just that. ya respond. because there's nobody else to do it.#6 january 2023#ha haha haha;sfhpqiuvpiweuhc qwe. i suddenly got a bad feeling and came to check and uh.#this was supposed to go into drafts but here the fuck we are so. whatever

or am i completely wrong idk 🗿 mr leech tell me more about you onegai
Ok honestly, before the birthday card came out, I thought their earrings were like,,, from their parents or something. like heirlooms!! i thought they were precious in that aspect but what i rlly didn't expect is for them to fckinghgkgngknfkf FIGHT A DAMN STURGEON FOR ITS SCALES 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
deadass why would a sturgeon challenge them anyways 🧐 and the twins were just like, "ok sure but can we have your scales if we win" and they rlly did 😭 just how strong were you guys before middle school wtf!!!!
and they turned the scales into earrings 🧐 which is now what they wear!! p cute
they're apparently popular to use as amulets in the coral sea so i. i fucking rotted over this AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA hrufhfigjofhckfbcjc should i delve deeper into this? no. but perhaps you can find out what my rot is about just by reading this single bullet

as all of you know, jade wears purple eyeliner. that's right.
Purple eyeliner.
Why does this matter, you ask? Oh sweet summer child, it may not matter to you but to me—eyeliner is super fucking hot I kid you not I started crying at night when I thought about this and wrote a mini essay about it like a fool so I'm just going to.
I am legitimately losing my shit over this like-?? Who allowed you to fucking put on eyeliner? You're already deadly without them and more so with them.
It honestly makes me wonder if he puts this on his own or not but seeing how deft he is with his hands, it's not a stretch to assume that he puts it on his own.
And I find that really hot since look at those clean strokes..!! He's better at applying them than me. I have this desire to let him do my makeup but when I think about it I start making incomprehensible noises and bury my face into my pillow. Purple eyeliner just-? Looks so good on him?
It should be illegal at this rate he looks so tempting I hate it. Sometimes I just have this urge to ruin in, I don t care how I just want to smudge it for some reason. Like deadass, I just want you all to appreciate how good his eyes look!
HELP HIS EYESDHFHTKHEKFHDKFHDMFHKDHFKSGDK IM FUCKFINDG LSOING IT
WHY DO I LOVE HIS EYES SO MUCH I DONT FUCKING KNOW I'VE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF CHARACTERS WITH MISMATCHED EYES BUT WITH HIM IM JUSTHGJJFJG KG NVM
His eyes are fucking beautiful, man. 🤡💞 Could stare at them for hours and never get tired!!!!
Tumblr media
Need I say more?

I mean what 🗿
guys displex is insane because they literally made jade have two ssrs in a row with banners that were available at the same time do you know how painful that was for me
when jamil bday card dropped all i lost ebg because i panicked over the thought of a jade bday card and started saving!!! and i did!!!! i managed to save up 100 pulls and i was so fucking chill after that but then,
abema stream happened
i was asleep when that happened so when i woke up i had like 283628 pings in discord telling me that he has an ssr for the halloween event and i was just 🗿 yo say sike his bday is soon displex must be joking
haha nope! they were dead serious.
that shit was painful i started crying 🤡 what the fuck because i didn't have enough gems for both ssrs and his halloween card was just absolutely beautiful.
so i went insane and saved 200 copies of the same jade card in attempt to make him come home before pity so i dont have to whale
Tumblr media
I mean,
Black nails.
The bandages.
The harness.
The hat is kinda ugly but that's ok.
THE BELTS AT HIS WAISTFJTKDJRKFBFKFHOFHDKDHDKSGDKSHSKXHSKJS
