110% bitch

Beat our guest, beat our guest, Slam a bat into their chest

Stuff a rock into a sock and turn their face into a mess

Break their arms, break their face, pop a socket out of place

unleash all the hidden fury you’ve suppressed!

They’ll find it hard to plead, when they profusely bleed

all down their vest-

I don’t jest!

They’re too toothless to protest!

Hard to look right at

Tiny little legs

Hopes somebody begs

• so michael was in the bathroom having his panic attack and it was just over and brooke like burst in through the door and she was crying

• and when she saw michael she tried to stop herself crying

• she was drunk but not extremely drunk and it was the same with michael

• anyway

• michael asked her if she was ok

• and she said “my best friend slept with my boyfriend do you think i’m fucking ok”

• michael was shOOK

• “i’m sorry i didn’t mean to go off on you i’m just really mad at jeremy heere right now”

• now michael’s even more shook he has some tea to SPILL

• “you and me both honey”

• the two of them sat on the bath talked for so long until a drunk couple came in making out and they decided to go home

• michael called a taxi and asked to go to brooke’s so she could get home safe and then he was going to go back to his own place

• but when they got to her’s she asked him to stay

• he was reluctant but did

• “we’re not fucking though, because if that’s what you want you’re barking up the wrong tree.”

• “you’re gay? i mean i support you and that’s not what i was looking for at ALL but really?”

• “is it not obvious?”

• so michael slept over and they painted each other’s nails (hers were orange and his were dark blue)

• and ever since then they’d been friends

• it took them some time to forgive jeremy (and for brooke to forgive chloe) after what happened but they did

• because they realised that even though what jeremy and chloe did to both of them was fucked up

• if it didn’t happen then michael and brooke would never have met

• or left that house

• and probably would be dead

Three reasons why a hero might not kill:

1. They are not granted by their society a “licence to kill.” Many (not all) people accept that a soldier or a judge might need to kill a wrongdoer in the course of their duties. Those people (should) act under strict rules and processes to determine when a death is just. A society, to be peaceful, usually functions under a guarantee that people won’t on their own judgement decide to off people. Vigilantes don’t usually have state-sanctioned authority, but they do rely on public goodwill to be counted as heroes and not menaces or even villains. A hero, especially an independent, self-proclaimed one, may lack the authority or judgement to serve as executioner. Most just societies require a trial before delivering a sentence.

2. They don’t need to. Paradoxically, or maybe not so much so, the stronger a hero is, the less they need to kill. One of the most common defenses for a murder is “self defense,” the idea that the person making the plea was in so much danger from the deceased that killing them was justifiable. But once you’re a swordsman swift enough to cut bullets or a muscleman strong enough to lift trucks, who’s that big a threat? As your control over your power and your ability to master an opponent both increase (and barring completely wild or uncontrolled abilities, these two are very linked) the easier it becomes to hold back, to subdue with the minimal amount of damage and to render even the worst villains neutralized without going nuclear. 3. The power to kill is bad for their mental health. Not everyone can perform even a “just” killing with a clean conscience. A hero might fear the trauma of killing, and seek to avoid the damage. Or a hero might introspect, and realize that, should they kill today, tomorrow the choice will be easier. Killing an opponent, rather than subduing them, is often the easy way out, and a hero who comes to rely on that solution might find themselves killing more and more, Even if killing isn’t addictive, a hero might still fear that mindset.
