"syntax error: unclosed if at line 56": perfect error message, tells me exactly what I need to fix and exactly where to look for it.

"memory write failure at address 0xeb008a": good error message. describes the problem well enough to enable troubleshooting by an experienced user.

"something went wrong, please try again": bad error message. does not tell me anything useful.

"oops! something blooped! 🙁": I will kill you with my bare teeth

Me doing some kind of physical labor: ugh this fucking sucks pleh I hate physical labor >:(

Me remembering that because of this I’m going to sleep like a rock, my lunch is going to taste amazing, my skin is going to glow, my muscles are going to be stronger, and I’m going to be rewarded with the completion of this difficult task: oh nvm yayyyyy

I think the funniest student-mentor dynamic that's possible is "you're like the caring parent that I never had" and "I chose to never have children because I knew they would just turn out all fucked up. Wait shit."

"Sword in the stone" type situation where somebody manages to extract the sword not because they're worthy by any conventional measure, but because the gods took one look and said to themselves "hey, you know what would be really funny?"

i wish we could expand the definition of characters having a "parent/child relationship" (platonic connotation) to the nastier parts of parenting: the projection, the control, the invasions of privacy, the entitlement, the codependency that sours into mutual bitterness because the relationship is unbreakable and fragile at once. I want to see two unrelated characters have the kind of perversely needy animosity generally reserved for a lonely, angry mother and her kids... i want to see two characters who never once knew each other as kids play out the dynamics of an inheritance of misfortune otherwise reserved by fathers for their children

one-sided platonic feelings always hit me so hard. like. i want you to love me like a son, but to you i’m not much more than a servant. i swore our oath of brotherhood out of real devotion, and you swore it out of convenience. i want to go to the ends of the earth and the depths of hell for you and follow you until the end of time, and in your mind that’s no more than what i owe you

grocery stores don't love you they want to see harm come to you and if you spend too long in one you will not return the same

big fan of 'i'd find you in every universe'. BIGGER fan of 'there are maybe five universes where we find each other and in four of them it ends badly i think we're some kind of anomaly i think every law of everything points towards this being the death of us. but we could try to save it anyway.' THATS the good shit.
