“I definitely have a plan” I tell my family while having nightly panic attacks about how I have no idea what to do with my life

I always giggle when my school talks about media social and they’re like: “Oh be careful what you post online, when you apply to college in the future they’re gonna check your profiles and if you post something embarrassing or inappropriate they’re gonna see it”
And I’m just here like: “Wow, colleges can search up ‘Ryan Ross rose vest’ on google and see the one I made. Or they can go on my tumblr and see my posts about amazing New Mexico sunset and that I want the Helena dance to be performed at my funeral.”
Like I think the worst thing they’ll find from me is the fact I made a post about how when emo people moan, it sounds like the “uh’s” in destroya, while “normal” people just make random noises
Moral of the story: colleges, I’m not afraid of you (yes I definitely am)

i genuinely do believe that lian going down a more civilian, superhero-adjacent path rather than operating fully as a superhero would make for a compelling narrative.
already, lian has a very nuanced perspective on "the life" because of how intertwined it has been with her own life, more specifically, her childhood. she has been privy to the emotional and physical toll it takes on the people involved, and the things that are asked of them day in and day out. of course, she still admires her father and all her aunts and uncles, but she has seen enough to know that being a superhero is far more than having cool costumes and flashy powers (or unparalleled skills, like roy’s aim). she has also seen what it looks like on the other side, as in, she is aware that her mother's life as "cheshire" regularly conflicts with her life as "jade", ultimately making it more difficult to build a life as the latter rather than continuing with the former. her parents’ jobs (albeit different) have been points of contention in the past because there is no true balance between their personal and professional lives, their professional lives often trickling into their personal ones.
what would make the decision to not follow in roy's footsteps even more powerful, to me, is if she chose to experience it for herself and ultimately realized it wasn't for her. from there, she could get more involved with the community while also staying the hero-loop in some capacity. she could go the reporter route like lois and linda, be a public defender/engage in pro-bono work, help develop health clinics, improve conditions of shelters, etc.. there’s many different routes that she could take that would help support the work that is being done by her dad and family without necessarily being directly involved in that part of the fight.

Tim: hey why is the saying “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” when that’s what led to the fall of Troy? Should the saying be “look a gift horse in the mouth”?
Jason: Uhh good question, why ISN’T it “look a gift horse in the mouth”?
Babs: it actually has nothing to do with Troy. The etymology behind “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” actually refers to how you can tell a horse’s age by it’s teeth, and therefore how valuable it is. So, if you got a horse as a gift and then looked at its teeth to see how old it is, it’d be the same as getting, say, a watch or necklace, and asking how much the person paid for it
Damian: t-t I would much rather have the horse
