@nihilazo salvaging things in general has always just been good vibes city for me--i always wanna get the most out of anything that i have access to, even if those things aren't particularly new
also, it's kinda weird maybe, but i low-key feel bad for things that get thrown out--like, someone made that! it's already enough of a miracle that these things exist and that i have access to them that i don't want to squander anything, and it feels nice to be able to do that
@thingywott @nihilazo i tend to personify things waaay too much, some items i end up collecting off gur street are partly motivated by feeling sad they've been abandoned, or if i think it's been lost by gur idea that it'll get farther ruined or damaged in gur outside
