Lady, EVOLVED 
a metaphor is…
• when something in a story is made to stand in for something in real life?
• a figure of speech which equates a thing with something else which has similar qualities?
@Lady@glitch.cat.family i think the former is allegory, but those are pretty similar things
@kit i am not convinced that allegory is as broad as metaphor, but i don’t want to do the work of trying to describe the differences, so it’s just vibes-based for me right now
