forget slow burn romance, give me slow burn found family. give me enemies to friends to siblings. tired, weary old mentors learning to live again for their plucky young apprentices. heroes sharing apartments after world saving adventures because they’re so used to living with each other. dramatic “oh shit” moments where one gets kidnapped and the other realizes “god, that’s my kid.” i want to sit and watch in agony for thirty chapters while two idiots slowly adopt each other, someone get on it
Sometimes I just ignore anon hate because theres a proverb I learnt in a Nigerian movie that said.
‘You cannot run naked after a mad man in the street after he has taken your clothes away from you because the public will not know who is the mad person between the two of you’
I feel like this proverb was based on firsthand experience.
we americans have a similar proverb: “don’t mud wrestle a pig. you both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
“Don’t try to play chess with a pigeon. It’ll knock the pieces everywhere, shit on the board, and act like it’s won.”
Korean proverb: “Walk around poop because it’s dirty, not because it’s to be afraid of.”
In German: “When you’re up to your chin in shit is the worst time to hang your head”
Australian proverb: “fuck that cunt”
The only one I can think about is : “The drool of the toad does not reach the white dove” ~ La bave du crapaud n’atteint pas la blanche colombe x)
i think there’s a polish one “Don’t discuss things with a moron: he’ll bring you down to his level and then defeat you by experience”.
