a hermit with friends

Stargirl Meme: 10 Characters

Now, somehow, their entire mental health is based on the continued life and happiness of this fairground goldfish that they picked up.

Neither of you know the first thing about how to care for even a healthy fish. This fish has been poorly cared for, has multiple diseases and the person who handed it over explicitly didn't expect it to live nearly as long as it already has.

You're frantically googling how to set up a fish tank, where to buy fish food, can you even take a fish to the vet? Your partner wants you to know that they're happy they made it home and survived their horrific ordeal, but also that if anything happens to the fish then they're going to kill everyone on this planet and then themself.

You're honestly wondering if you're even helping the fish, or just prolonging its suffering, but your partner will only accept medical help for their many injuries or engage in basic self-care once they're confident that the fish is being looked after.

So you get a tank. You set up a filter and all that stuff. You learn way more than you ever wanted to know about water temperature and ph and nitrate levels. The fish is safe. You start to develop some affection for the little guy. Your partner begins to recover. The fish begins to recover.

Which is when you learn that in its 'healthy' state, the fish regularly refuses to sleep when tired, keeps begging for food that is obviously unhealthy for it (and struggling to eat the food that you do provide because “it tastes gross”), and continually tries to persuade your partner to take it out of its nice safe tank so it can go explore the wonderful world of Outside, where the slightest mishap will kill it instantly.

Especially love the part where her sisters say you didn't tell us the man was hot, and Mary basically says yeah, he does have nice forearms...after we saw a couple scenes of her STARING as a man rolled up his sleeves.

Same girl, same.

she has all the characteristics for the role of queen.      —angel coulby.

For one, she's not really "chosen" she was created for this role. "Designed" for this role if Doug is to be believed. And she's not really the only "one". There are others like her. Others created like her. Born as a teenager whose sole purpose is to fight monsters, in part in service of protecting someone else with a particular destiny.

Relatedly, Kim and Doug's relationship is really funny because Doug is theoretically has the chosen one mentor role. He's the chooser. The one in charge of guiding her towards her purpose. But instead of chosen one mentoring her about her destiny, he mentors her about being a normal person. Not to the same extent as Romy and Bobby, but the ability to choose her own future is something Doug wants for her.

It's not like he found a lone chosen one and decided she deserved better than a destiny others forced upon her. He made her to do chosen one stuff. He just... also is inclined to treat her like a person.

Which has the side effect where, as a result of treating her as a normal teenager, she starts acting like a normal teenager. Including sulking about her origin and getting frustrated with him when he's being a bad parent.

Which wouldn't even be an issue if he had just treated her as a weapon in the first place. But unfortunately being just a bit too humane turned his relationship with Kim from Warrior and his Blade, to Father and Daughter.

And being a parent means he can actually mess up with her in ways that he couldn't if she wasn't a person. That he actually has to make decisions with her best interest in mind. Which does not necessarily align with what she was created for.

Doug rushed into doing his job and fighting against evil and oops, he wasn't a terrible person and now he's a dad. And he is not good at it.
