Idk thinking about Trucy at school having a career counselor who takes one look at her listed aspiration of “professional magician” and calls her and her father into a conference to discuss his concerns that she doesn’t have realistic career goals

Cue Trucy and Phoenix effortlessly tag-teaming the sob story of “Oh but my poor sweet MaMa and PaPa in Heaven… they were magicians, you see, I only wish to keep their memory close, keep it alive…” and “Perhaps it makes me a poor father, but I just can’t bear to take away the one thing she has left of them…” until the counselor is so mortified he just relents and never questions it again

(Phoenix is not worried about his daughter’s success even slightly, and Trucy was never worried that he would be)

I don’t know much about marketing but there HAS to have been some sort of paper somewhere written on the phenomenon of an ad campaign so effective it kneecaps the corporation down the line. The Subway 5 Dollar Foot Long has become a $15.99 thing of legend

trying to make unlikable characters

[drbtinglecannon]

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

I had a rough day. Bartender, one glass of the characters kissing, please
