you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch
Keep in mind that there is almost always a third option, most especially when the person talking is vague about what, precisely, it is that you “won’t do.”
If it’s noodles, pour them on your sister instead of on her computer, or if the noodles are quite hot, pour them on her pillow or in a great spattering arc around her room.
If you have a supervillain at gunpoint and *they* say you’re “too good” and “won’t do it,” shoot them in the leg/foot or the shoulder. The former allows them to think they’re right while you lower the gun only to be confronted with sudden understanding and regret when you blow their metatarsals to kingdom come, while the latter is instant and avoids giving them even a moment’s satisfaction or any time to charge you while you’re lowering the gun to shoot them in the leg.
Door Number Three usually exists and is often your friend. Endeavor to cultivate awareness thereof.
Misunderstanding or not, at least you had a perfectly valid reason for going.
Something that kind of devastates me is, that if I’m considered smart (sometimes even very smart) now in spite of a whole host of learning disorders, developmental disorders, and a whole lifetime of neglect– If I’m smart now, after having been handed the short stick, what would I have been like if I had grown up nourished? Would I have been a genius? A child prodigy? If I wasn’t living life with half my brain tied behind my back, what great things might I have discovered or accomplished? And I’ll never get to know, and maybe the whole world is lesser for it, all because my parents were too selfish to be actual parents. Isn’t that ironic? They might have gotten rid of me at age fifteen because I had invented something life-changing, became rich and moved away to a high-stakes college, but because they were too lazy to parent me I’m still living with them at age twenty, never having accomplished anything.
Unpopular opinion- you’re a trash parent if you constantly throw what you do for your child in their face. You’re SUPPOSED to care for them, you chose to have them.
Gentle reminder: Just because they feed you, doesn’t mean they’re not abusive.

I feel like people tend to imagine achilles as being big and hairy and muscle-bound but I just want to remind y’all that he apparently spent quite a long time disguised as a girl and nobody could fucking tell?? including Odysseus, who had to trick him into revealing himself, but was apparently not smart enough to figure out which of the beautiful women in front of him was a man in a dress???
so like please consider: petite fine-boned achilles. achilles with killer cheekbones and big dark eyes w long eyelashes. ppl meeting achilles and being all “you’re the one who’s supposed to be a scary warrior?” and then later he he picks up trojans twice his size and flings them across the battlefield and they’re like ‘oh’. achilles being significantly shorter than hector and needing to tilt his head back to yell at him. patroclus being able to sling achilles over his shoulder. patroclus giving achilles piggyback rides. achilles needing patroclus to reach stuff down for him sometimes. achilles being the little spoon. tiny pretty achilles okay
People in Ancient Greece literally used to argue whether Achilles topped or not because some of them thought he was too girly which tells us mainly that Achilles has always been a twink and that yaoi fandom never really changes
