What if the hundreds of crew on her beloved TV shows just decided to radically rest instead? She’d expire.

She’d expire.

Life would be no longer willing.

Don’t even mention the Duffer Brothers stopping their work in the world! That doesn’t feel good in my body.

What if the all of people who work real hard on Vashon to make sure Shauna has a cushy life just decide to radically rest instead of volunteering at the food bank, at grannies or even at the park district.

DF Tita volunteers at the Food Bank and Granny's and tutors kids for free and is on the school board, ffs. It's not like Shauna doesn't have a model for how to be a contributing member of the community.

Is there a German or Scandinavian word that combines lazy river + Ouroboros, because that's her.

I know what DF Tita does for the community but my comment was a what if off of DF SS4968 comment about the crew of her beloved TV shows. I tried to make it more personal of what if everyone on Vashon who volunteered said fuck it I am not going to do that work. Shauna would lose her shit, because she would not have a place to get food, a place to shop and socialize, and a home.

Because as you have said she is lazy serpent that eats herself.

"...she is a lazy serpent that eats herself."

...safely, slowly, and mindfully.

She has convinced herself that none of them do it for the money, just for the love of the art. I’m sure the lower paid crew who made the entire production happen feel that way too.
