Since Its That Time Of Year Again, I’ve Been Thinking About Over The Garden Wall, And I Think One Of

Since its that time of year again, I’ve been thinking about Over the Garden Wall, and I think one of my favorite things about it is that, other than the fact that they’re lost in some strange woods, their problems are so normal. Like, in so many shows the problems are things like “both of my parents are dead and their last wish was for me to do this really emotionally taxing life long quest” or whatever, but Wirts biggest problem is that he cant tell a girl that he likes her, and that his mom somewhat recently remarried, and his half brother is kind of annoying in that little kid way. They’re just such normal problems, and it feels like its one of the few heroes journey sort of tales where the main character is just some kid. Hes not some chosen one, hes not the most popular kid at school, but hes obviously not outcast because pretty much everyone who sees him in the Halloween episode greets him in a friendly way and try to include him. He’s just a normal kid, but he still has these unique little traits that make him interesting, like that he plays clarinet, and writes poetry, and is kind of a pushover but is also really passive aggressive when he wants to be. Its just such a good show, and every time I rewatch it I find another little thing that I love about it.

life feelings emotions autumn over the garden wall

Late

Tears filled her eyes,

She knew it was late (or too late).

The sky turned dark,

As she sat and wrote.

She couldn’t see,

Was it the dark or never ending tears?

As she wrote pages of her affection,

To her lover,

Who left,

And didn’t wait.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
