okay look. i KNOW the moment we get more time and content with him, it’s going to be revealed that eris is wearing a mask, and he’s doing all of these things for his mother and his people, and hey he isn’t really a BAD guy, he’s just been given a bad hand! i know this.
but at the same time i’m going to be so angry if he goes to the rhysand school of “actually im the best person ever YOU’RE wrong for ever doubting me.”
i want him to have a sharp tongue, and say some shitty things. i want him to make bad choices and not hand wave them away as good. we’ve spent far too much time with the inner circle who portray themselves as cruel, just to get genuinely offended when people then take them at their own word (and actions) treat them accordingly. i need eris to be a bitch and i need him to OWN it!! as a reward.

Hey, what do you mean by Perfect Cell? This has so many possible implications. Can he spawn mini hims? Can he fucking absorb people? EXPLODE?! There is a few things this could mean
On reflection, it's actually more of a Piccolo thing, since Perfect Cell has the trait from Piccolo's DNA, just turned up to 11, and Lamarr cannot regenerate from total obliteration the way Cell can.
So Lamarr can't pull a Perfect Cell, but he can pull a Piccolo. But I wanna use The Lines.
the dialogue in the first 2 panels is stolen from DBZA (as linked)
the dialogue in the second 2 panels is not

Marianne Dashwood: She’s just a dramatic teenage girl
What can you say about Marianne Dashwood? She’s beautiful, she’s emotional, she gets way too depressed after a breakup, and she’s into music. Is she a drama queen? Yes. Does she cause her sister unnecessary pain and worry? Yes. Is she responsible and rational? No. But should we hate her for it? I would argue no. Because she’s seventeen.
Marianne has hilariously naive views of love, “I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own… I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!” (Ch 3) but she is also relatable. She is dreaming of her Prince Charming, or shall we say Mr. Darcy and she is seventeen. Having unrealistic views of matrimony and love is perfectly normal for a teenager.
Marianne does not comply with the rules of decorum and propriety, leaving, Elinor, “the whole task of telling lies when politeness required it” (Ch 21). That is selfish, sure, but it’s also, what teenagers do. They rebel against social norms. And yes, this is the 1800s and they expect more of younger women, but that doesn’t mean her brain grew any faster than a modern teenager! And her mother lets her get away with it, so it’s no wonder she doesn’t conform.
Elinor is far more mature and reasonable than Marianne, and therefore more admirable, but she is a paragon of self control, almost unrealistically so. Elinor is able to maintain her composure in a conversation with Lucy Steele that rips out her heart. I don’t even think Darcy, Austen’s other master of self control, could have been as outwardly calm (he also changes colour when angry, he’s like an emotional chameleon). Marianne seems worse/annoying because she’s compared to someone who is a different extreme. No nineteen-year-old should be so mature, it’s probably because of her father’s death (in part) that Elinor is so controlled. Marianne has reacted in a different way. I think the point of the book is that neither of them have a completely healthy way of dealing with the world.
Marianne does grow up, “she found herself at nineteen, submitting to new attachments, entering on new duties, placed in a new home, a wife, the mistress of a family, and the patroness of a village.” (Ch 50) In two years, she is as old as Elinor was and much more rational. Remember that Jane Austen’s other heroines sometimes also fall into irrationality and are much older, like Elizabeth (20) and Emma (21).
Marianne Dashwood: She’s seventeen! (and a bit of a drama queen)
(the real petulant toddler of the novel is Willoughby)

Does anyone else have younger siblings that are such spoiled brats that whenever they don’t get their way they start throwing a huge fit and refuse to do anything else.

today my little sister started berating me in a restaurant in front of our waitress because I asked for no sauce for my meal instead of ordering barbecue so she could have two servings of sauces, saying that I was selfish, that the world doesn’t revolve around me, and to think about other people for once in my life. Lmao kid you’re yelling at me in public because I didn’t order something with my meal that you wanted. She didn’t even finish her own serving of sauce so what was the point?
