2021 Is The Year I Finally Get My Shit Together

2021 is the year I finally get my shit together

My friend thinks we had fun the last time we hung out but them telling me "he looks straight" after I showed them a picture of Prince Arthur was actually one of the worst moments of my life

Number 2's really making me feel appreciated lmao

Middle-aged men who I can call "daddy~" and "babygirl!" at the same time. This dichotomy drives me absolutely feral. Bonus point if they are fathers who have a complicated relationship with their children.

Girls who are tragically pathetic and fucked up and unappealing, but they're deeply romantic souls who use their fantastical imagination to cope with their chronic anxiety and trauma and the real horrors of the outside world. Bonus point if they have enough strength to awkwardly try to heal and connect with people.

Abused characters who struggle to navigate a deeply oppressed social structure and try to reclaim their autonomy and protect their sanity and dignity. Bonus points if their methods of survival are ugly and can make them appear immoral. Extra points if their main method of survival is a spiteful need to force others to acknowledge them.

Stoic, cold, elegant characters who barely hide their violently unhinged and wrathful side. Bonus points if they are melancholy and grief-stricken by unhealed trauma and they're chained to the past and only live for revenge.

Duty-bound characters with divided loyalties who struggle with issues of identity. Who lose everything and then try to reconstruct their sense of self from scratch after that. Bonus points if they snapped and mostly unintentionally fucked everyone over, including themselves, before claiming out of the pit of despair.

Physically weak characters who use their cunning, determination, and resourcefulness to survive. Bonus points if they were kicking and screaming and terrified out of their minds every step of the way.

Delightfully funny and nasty women who are evil and pathologically fucked up to a horrifying degree. Bonus point if they can act normal and hide in plain sight but still seem "off" at times (think of: Amy Dunne).

Genuinely kind, warm, and altruistic "mentors" who appear to be the wisest but still hide a wicked, childish, almost sinister side to them. Bonus point if they're not ashamed of this hidden side and know how to use it "for the greater good" or for their selfish satisfaction.

I know I can ask Google the questions, but some questions I want to ask to someone so they can sit right next to me and look into my eyes and give me the long, perhaps complicated answer while I process the words they're telling me, while I listen to their voice, while I take it all in

Oh you wanna duel with me???? You wanna arm wrestle???? You want us to arm wrestle on the dinner table with candles on it?????

It works with real people too in case anyone wants to try it

Bakuguo's stupid anger issues would be solved if someone he greatly respected looked him dead in the eyes and said to him with a blank face and a low voice: "Shut the fuck up, you obnoxious jerk". That would humble him and force him to get his shit together, but All Might is too much of a softie.
