New Heated Rivalry fandom blog. I'm unfortunately going to be spending the next three days grading, so I made a fandom blog to distract me when I take breaks. If you're looking for fandom blogs to follow, I've reblogged all my original posts related to HR so you can see the types of posts I make about them (previously posted on @undead-moth). Looking for people to follow and hoping to get asks or prompts or even people just sharing their hr thoughts in my inbox <33333

my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.

And that wasn't done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad's ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.

Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going "They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way" "They didn't clean... Like at ALL"

Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. "It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets" Jake that's what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.

On my dad's boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They're grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that's what every boat was doing.

Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life

no we're not bullying autistic people. we're just making fun of people who are bad at reading social cues or are too enthusiastic about their interests or act a little weird. maybe even stereotyping them as threats
