I'm really sorry if this appear to be angry and condescending, but this irks me to no end and I wanna say something about it. I'm gonna have to correct this post because people seem to have a major misconception about lifeguards. They aren't a decoration for your local pool, or hot college students waiting for a cute girl to drown and need the kiss of life. We lifeguards are considered first responders to emergencies, we are trained in first aid, CPR, AED, water rescue, tittle 22 (which contains blood born pathogens and emergency childbirths etc. the kind of things that EMTs have to know), and occasionally emergency oxygen. It costs hundreds of dollars to get these certifications, so if Percy decided to become a lifeguard he would quickly learn the difference between an actual drowning victim, an an idiot who thinks it's clever to pretend to be in a life threatening situation for the attention of someone just trying to do their job. On top of that lifeguards are required to carry around these ingenious devices called "resuscitation masks" designed so that when a lifeguard needs to give rescue breaths they won't be at risk for disease transfer. So please stop treating a lifegaurding job a some kind of plot device. I know this was meant to be a cute head cannon, and I honestly think it's inspired and unique, I just don't like seeing a serious job portrayed as some kind of joke. Thanks for reading this little rant all the way through, I'm sorry if I upset anyone by highjacking a innocent post. (Again sorry if I sound triggered or unreasonably angry, I was just bothered and wanted to say something.)
Percy takes up a part-time job at the local pool as a life guard. There is a dramatic increase in people pretending to drown so they could be saved by the hot life guard.
everyone who reblogs this before may 1st will get a painting based on their blog!! (i'm doing watercolors btw)
Be the example to the Gen Z kids, who need support just as much as you do.
hey, one millenial to another?
don’t just leave the gen z kids to clean up this mess. i know we’re all tired, i know we’re all exhausted, but we cannot sit back on our nihilistic laurels and leave them to do this alone.
it’s time to stand back up. it’s time to get back in there. it’s time to fight that fight, and fight it harder.
it’s time to be the adults we wish had stood with us.
At first I was gonna add something but the conclusion was too perfect
This is art. A masterpiece, actually.
