its so odd to me that theres a whole genre of ppl who listened to tma and thought martin was this fancy tea guy and not just doing like a basic task you do in places where tea is part of the culture...
not in like a judgemental way like im american too and thats very much not a thing here but like ive seen it at least once or twice before in other stuff that thats just a task you can have an employee do like go make some tea
like its always read to me as martin trying to cover for the fact hes not as qualified as he says he is by going and making the tea for everyone its basic and boring but its something he did so everyones momentarily ddistracted by the fact he never seems to use his supposed education bc he brought them some tea.
we dont really have an american equivalent... im imagining the intern fetching everyone coffee trope but even that doesnt seem right since its not nearly as common hmm

reading some proshippers linguistics master thesis on voltr/n shipping discourse definitely affected my brain im still in shock i think. at a certain point paragraphs began to sound nearly identical it felt like i was losing my mind.

I used to joke around that in a spiritual sort of sense I was always supposed to grow up rich. I've got the soul of an aristocrat, the wallet of a commoner and the politics of someone who is rly pissed off in the most pretentious way. Anyways, this little jokey joke feels wrong now that I know I SHOULD have been rich all along if it wasent for granpa being a failcore boy-loser. To be fair tho, growing up with an aristocrats soul in an aristocrats home would have undoubtedly made me so much more miserable and annoying. God knew the disaster he was preventing by stripping me from that lifestyle. Im still bitter tho but it'll pass
