Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.
pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century
#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ' we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) '#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ' That's not possible. they have to be messing with us' and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)
I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:
From the story:
We repeatedly emphasized that we were aboard a small 8-meter sailboat, but the response was the same each time: "We are a 50-meter three-masted sailboat, and we offer our assistance in towing you to Paimpol." We were perplexed by the size difference between our two boats, as we feared being towed by a boat that was too large and at too fast a speed that could damage our boat. The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it? The Götheborg approached very close to us to throw the line and pass a large rope. The mooring went well, and our destinies were linked for very long hours, during which we shared the same radio frequency to communicate with each other. The crew of the Götheborg showed great professionalism and kindness towards us. They adapted their speed to the size of our boat and the weather conditions. We felt accompanied by very professional sailors. Every hour, the officer on duty of the Götheborg called us to ensure everything was going well.[...] This adventure, very real, was an incredible experience for us. We were extremely lucky to cross paths with the Götheborg by chance and especially to meet such a caring crew. Dear commander and crew of the Götheborg, your kindness, and generosity have shown that your ship is much more than just a boat. It embodies the noblest values of the sea, and we are honored to have had the chance to cross your path and benefit from your help.
"Our destinies were linked for very long hours" is just knocking me out.

Everytime I see a popular post and think "oh I should tag this objectum!!" and I check op's tags and they did in fact tag/intend it to be objectum but everyone else in the tags is going "#shitpost" "#yeah sure I'll reblog that" "#lmfao" a beautiful machine loses it's motherboard

i hate seeing people treat objectum attraction as a joke. i tried to listen to an objectum audio fanfic recently and it was narrated by the author going "i can't believe i wrote this, this is ridiculous, this isn't meant to be serious" and they were laughing the whole time. and then i come on here and see earnest objectum posting get tagged as "shitpost" in the reblogs and it just. it annoys me that the very idea of the attraction i experience is a joke to someone.
this is coming from a gay trans man who laughs at gay joke, trans jokes, but when the joke is just the attraction itself, the very idea of this feeling. idk it just puts a bad taste in my mouth.
hope prev doesn’t mind me taking these tags; they’re so accurate
