Inspired by this prompt by @whygodohgodwhy

Idk what I wrote but I wrote so here ya go

“I don’t think of you as a friend, I think of you as a stray dog that came unexpectedly into my life and into my heart.” “I’m a dog to you?” “A stray dog. And, yes, you literally climbed into my open car door, curled up in my lap, and you have not left me alone since. I love you, but that could have gone terribly wrong for you.”

That day… 

I'd spotted a hero-car parked outside my apartment building. Well, parked in front of an apartment building. On the opposite side of the road. But, hey, they had gotten the floor number right, gotta give the agency props for something. If they keep it up, they’re bound to get a right address one of these days. Go get ‘em, Boys and Girls in tights, we believe in ya.

So anyway, I was having a bad day. You know, the works. Fiance dumped me two weeks after I lost my job, three weeks after my first breakdown. I tell myself it’s better this way. Found out she definitely was not with me in sickness. 

I understand the breakdowns would’ve scared her off. Lots of crying. Like, lots. With a handful of panic attacks sprinkled in. Of course, I don't blame her or hold a grudge or think she’s a bad person. But I thought our love was real, y'know? 

But I feel I had a personality switch, I don't feel like the same person I was before, not happy enough, not energetic enough. So maybe I guess I wasn’t the person she had fallen in love with. Well, I hope she had fallen in love with. Maybe, she hadn’t actually. 

What was I talking about? Sorry, my mind’s not what it used to be.

Right. Bad day. My brain felt like it was about to explode. There was pounding inside, like someone was hitting my skull with the back of a hammer. I didn’t want to go back home, I didn't want to be alone. Or maybe I did. Maybe that’s why I was walkin’ the streets hummin' to myself. 

Then I saw it. 

My hero.

Give me a break. 

Well… I shouldn't be so mean. Hero did give me a break. Very heroic of them. Very cliche, but when your life takes a turn for the worst, some predictable cliches can be… nice.

Their car door was open, and I could see they had a fluffy blanket in their lap. I knew it was a hero. I used to be good at my job, believe it or not. So I could tell it was a hero-car and not a cop car. And the staker-outer was a hero with powers instead of a cop with a gun. 

Why was their car door open? Who knows. Okay, I'm trying to sound cool, I admit it. I do know why it was open. They were about to get out, but they were gonna be a slow getter-outer. They had gotten distracted by something on their phone. Maybe the agency had suddenly gotten competent and wanted to let them know they had the wrong building.

So I see the open door. I see a blanket calling my name. I see a hero which in my head means safety, a cop or a civilian would have me killed. My mind is in a bad place. I see safety. I see soft. I don’t want to go home. I’m tired. I see a blanket. It looks soft…

...

“So, why did you walk into a stranger’s car?”

Ex-Villain stopped stroking the rim of their full glass of water, knocked out of the memory.

One day they would answer.

But not today.

They gulped down their water and the fresh pain the memory of that day had brought back.

Used a zeugma! And realized OP used a zeugma in the prompt too!

Scene Debunk - Lemony and Jacques whistling in the taxi, TAA (NCT, rather obviously)

What does it mean?

We see a present-day Lemony whistling 'with' his brother who's going to die (in TVV).

THEORY: By now, 'That's Not How The Story Goes' is a well-established 'radio hit', if you will, so Jacques plays it on the taxi's radio and whistles along with - what he BELIEVES to be - his dead brother.

However, present-day Lemony is also in this taxi, as he is also wishing he could spend quality time with his dead brother.

This is a technique that Snicket/Handler's use of, throughout the series, is impeccable: dramatic irony and, to some extent, zeugma/syllepsis.

Dramatic irony is something Lemony rightly and necessarily explains in TRR, but here, the irony is of J believing L was dead and L KNOWING that J's dead now.

Once you understand what zeugma is, you'll know what I mean, though it does appear more in the books...

Zeugma and syllepsis are both figures of speech that involve the use of a single word in different senses or contexts. However, there are some differences between them.

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, zeugma is a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses or to two others of which it semantically suits only one.

For example, consider the sentence “John and his license expired last week.”

Here, the word “expired” applies to both “John” and “his license,” but in different senses.

On the other hand, syllepsis is a figure of speech in which a word is applied to two others in different senses or to two others of which it grammatically suits only one.

For instance, consider the sentence “She caught the train and a bad cold.”

Here, the word “caught” is applied to both “the train” and “a bad cold,” but in different senses.

In TEE (I think) Lemony uses it talking about being "in the dark in the dark [in the park]".

And in TCC - "Miracles are like meatballs; no-one can agree on where they come from, what they're made of, or how often they should appear."

Just my thinking,

fuck the post about the zeugma rhetorical device for not letting me ramble about its etymology being the ancient Greek word for yoking in the comments. like how you yoke an animal you yoke two phrases together with the zeugma. but now no one on that post will know about the ancient greek

#everything comes back to animals #to tying them down to plow #as one ties a woman down for marriage #how profound and disturbing! #i lovehate the greeks and their yokes #zeugma #iugum #yoke #etc #all tje same word #for animals and plowing and marriage #eg to join in marriage its the same word #and it all has that implication #of farm labor #fascinating

Saw someone posting their zeugmas since the classic post is going around again so here’re mine

This weekend I didn’t draw for the buffer but I didn’t draw from it either

(on a post about a guy let go from the army for shooting at worms) their weapon was discharged and then they were
