My dad didn't do anything wrong, but no one yanked him from the jaws of death. Goddamn Boone, he was just waiting for a chance to save the day!

Date: 2025-10-05 10:57 pm (UTC)there was this one german web game i played in college about rehabilitating abused stuffed animals and there was this turtle who had a mental block and when he realized it he just cried and cried and cried until he ran out of tissues and kept crying after that, and you're like, shit, what do i do? how do i help the turtle?
but the answer was, you just had to wait and let him cry. sometimes the turtle just needs to get it all out.
what i am saying is in this scenario shannon is the turtle. you just kinda gotta let her cry. ]
