#dynamic; clementine & charles.

[imaginarianisms]

The sound of birdsong in the trees and the river was genuinely calming. Spring was on the horizon and the snow was beginning to melt. It'd been a while since she'd seen her previous group as she was separated from them by bounty hunters with only her two boys she'd taken under her wing and her carriage and mare to show for it. Clementine missed them all dearly, the comrades she'd come to know, and she missed them, but there was no telling when she'd reunite with them again with the way things were going. This Dutch guy... honestly, she didn't even know what to make of him. The greed of the white man had stolen her away from her family and Nation, dragged her to that hell to the ladies in black and had cut her hair to humiliate her, this outlaw seemed supportive of the local nations, but to what ends, Clementine couldn't say. All of it unnerved her, try as she might do her best to extend her trust. What other choice did she have for her two boys? Working as a mercenary for hire so young could only do so much for three mouths to feed when you were on your own. Her old man Lee had always taught her to stay in a group whenever possible when he'd taken her under his wing, to always shoot first and never look back.

Charles, Lenny, and to an extent Arthur were the only individuals she knew for a fact she could trust. If Charles could trust Dutch, then so could she. The environment of the camp was overstimulating so once she'd had AJ have his afternoon nap, she'd found a cove some ways away from the group and taken a bundle of white sage, one of the sacred medicines, and began lighting it to smudge herself of any negative energies as her grandmother taught her. Clem had vented to Charles about life and he'd been a source of comfort to the girl. She'd scooted aside to let her elder participate in the sacred ceremony if he wanted to, as well. At his words, she felt something in her throat and her eyes sting and water. It's the smoke, she told herself as she fell silent momentarily, head dipping, her twin braids shifting as she did so. ❝It's hard to believe that sometimes,❞ she admits, gesturing to... pretty much to, well, the state of the world right now and how it's been for the past few hundred years for her peoples (and Charles' peoples, too), the bison hunting, the poaching, the continued threat on their traditional lands. ❝but I really hope you're right. Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have... but I have it. I guess all I can really do these days is just... keep prayin' and prayin' and prayin' for absolution.❞

Her hands cup the smoke from the white sage and the abalone shell and waves the smoke towards her face, her eyes, her hair, and her body, the sunlight filtering in through the trees. Clementine's golden hues flicker upward towards her elder, giving him a grateful smile before tilting her head. ❝I'll follow your lead when we get to Saint Denis then, I'll have my baby boys back here at camp. I still wanna get back to my last group if I can but with everythin' going on lately I know that might not be possible, so if everythin' goes to shit, I might consider movin' north to Canada. Start fresh.❞

what pets (if any) do you think the drivers would get? like within a relationship, oh and what do you think they'd call them!?

sorry if this makes no sense lmaoo I'm v tired

it makes sense! i won't do all the drivers for these but definitely a few of them (also this mayyy kinda dip a lil bit into hybrid!driver dynamics so sorry in advance)

charles leclerc:

we know he has leo (<3 ofc)

i think he really loves dogs but only little ones?

like big ones are too scary and little dogs are perfect size for cuddling

if he got more pets they would probably be small dog breeds like leo

either names them random italian names or gives them names that very conspicuously relate to another driver

george russell:

listen i can't explain this but he'd definitely have a pair of hermit crabs?

probably with oddly fancy names like barnaby and clementine or something

lando norris:

he'd probably get a bunny thinking they were low maintenance

gets the shock of his life when he finds out that actually rabbits have very specific care needs

gives it a human name like bob or jeff

becomes a connoisseur of rabbit care products

his whole apartment is rabbit-proofed. there are toys and runs all over the place. his comfort is now second most important.

bunny takes priority.

oscar piastri:

okay this may be controversial

but i actually think that oscar would have dogs BECAUSE of how much cat energy he has?

like ... he wants an animal who will be happy to cuddle when he wants but he can also train to leave him alone when he doesn't

also (from personal experience) dogs have much less sharp teeth than cats and he doesn't really feel like having his skin shredded

probably gives them pretty generic but cute names like cooper and scout

🍎 for mouse :) (smiles evilly)

also 🌺 for mara! tell me of the polycule!!!!

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

hey man you can't ask me THAT. anyway yeah uuhh mouse doesn't remember anything before age ~15 or so. she has recently learned that she might just be literally physically someone's mirror image? so she might not have any parents of her own?? but also she was maybe raised by a dude in a cabin for a few years??? everything is unclear. but for a long time her relationship with her "parents" was in a really strange place, where part of her almost hoped that something had happened to them, because otherwise that meant they had simply left her behind :(

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

MAZE POLYCULE BELOVED!! okay yes so mara has THREE love interests :) there's charles, our artificer, who was mara's first kiss in the maze- he knows the most about their history, and at this point is probably the one who knows mara the best, and he's very special and important to them. there's the guy, aka alexis, our barbarian, who was mara's second kiss, but who they now have a bit of a complicated relationship with- he's trying to gain immortality, which is what mara is trying to get rid of, and they're having a lot of weird feelings about it and about him. and most recently there's nadzeya, our druid! mara and nadzeya have been flirting for most of the campaign but neither of them have made a move for a variety of reasons and finally nadzeya got Sick Of That Shit and flat-out told mara to kiss her. so they did :)

(charles is dating mara, alexis, and nadzeya, while alexis is dating charles, mara, and an npc named titan, while nadzeya is dating charles and mara and has a bit of a situationship with an npc named clementine. things in the maze are normal and fun and our relationship dynamics are not at all confusing)

(OC ask game!)

[ear-worthy]

Why do People I (Mostly) Admire Has A Boring Host Yet Irresistible Podcast?

I will sometimes watch a Ted Talk or listen to Ted Talks Daily. The topics are fascinating -- robots, sex and imagination, microdosing, and whatever the hell the Spermageddon is. The speakers match that dynamism in their manner, tone, and intellectual muscularity.

Now imagine this. A stodgy, flat-lined, toned economics professor has a podcast in which he holds conversations with smart, captivating people who are apt to shoot insights into the audio verse at a rapid-fire pace.

How could a podcast like that succeed? 

The answer is a definitive "I have no idea," but it does. 

Launched in August 2020, People I (Mostly) Admire finds University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt, co-author of the best-selling Freakonomics books, interviewing a wide array of thinkers, researchers, government leaders, authors, and the occasional celebrity.

In fact, in 2021, Adweek announced its third-annual Podcast of the Year Awards, and it chose People I (Mostly) Admire in the Best Interview Podcast category.

If you don't know, Levitt is the co-founder of Freakonomics, which is a collaboration between writer Steven Dubner and University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt, who have achieved success in publishing, radio and podcasts. Freakonomics was an early podcast adopter and has a loyal and sizable fan base.

In People I (Mostly Admire), Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt takes the podcasting reins and interviews some of the most interesting, unorthodox people around. 

“The perfect guest for me is someone who's not only wildly intelligent, but also a little bit off the rails,” Levitt says. “Someone who thinks differently and who doesn't care at all how the world perceives him or her.”

 Levitt has spent decades as an academic economist, “studying strange phenomena and human behavior in weird circumstances.” Now, in People I (Mostly Admire) he turns his curiosity to something new: interviewing some of the most interesting, unorthodox people around — from actresses to athletes, authors to inventors.

This is not your typical interview podcast, however, First, Levitt's vibrant mind and insightful queries encourage guests to go well beyond cursory responses and prepared talking points. Second, Levitt's roster of guests focuses on mental acuity and high-intensity intelligence instead of vapid oversharing about celebrity life. To his credit, Levitt is not only simply interested in eliciting responses from his podcast guests, but also in "fracking" for illumination and comprehension.

Take, for example, Levitt's first episode with Harvard psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker, where Pinker speaks frankly about enraging people on opposite ends of the political spectrum.  Levitt isn't a flashy interviewer and has a modulated tone and patient speaking cadence along with a willingness to draw out his guests into discussions that reveal something about them personally and a state of the world we live in. 

After almost four years, how has Steven Levittsurvived in podcasting?

First, his guest list is top-notch, first-class, possibly genetically enhanced like Khan on Star Trek, and capable of thought bubbles that are beyond our comprehension.

His October 27, 2023 episode with data scientist Nate Silver should be required listening for all political enthusiasts. Listen to his March 1,2024 episode with "The Power of Habit" author Charles Duhigg, who wrote his new book in an attempt to learn how to communicate better. Duhigg has written a new book, Supercommunicators," which I highly recommend.

In that episode, Levitt goes full disclosure and shares how the book helped him understand his own conversational weaknesses.

In one of my favorite episodes, Levitt tackles the criminal justice system. Talk about your tough nut to crack. On the episode, Levitt talks to Clementine Jacoby, who went from performing in a circus to founding a nonprofit that works to shrink the prison population.

Here's Levitt on the episode: "Clementine Jacoby started her nonprofit called Recidiviz around the same time I started my RISC center at the University of Chicago. We’re both trying to change criminal justice. And she’s having a lot more success than I am. I’m curious to hear how she’s made so much happen so quickly."

For people who think that locking more people away in prison will magically reduce crime, listen to this episode for a more thoughtful and ultimately more effective approach.  

In many ways, Levitt is the academic equivalent of Lt. Columbo on TV. Levitt doesn't impress, and nor does he stand out with his dynamism or verbal skills. But his Columbo-like "oh, just one more thing" and deceptively profound questions ensure that no guest lets his guard down around Levitt. 

If you like theatrical interviews with the pretense of scientific accuracy and the cherry-picking of low-hanging data, then listen to those two-hour Joe Rogan shows.

If, however, you understand the rigor of scientific investigation and the preference for data over confirmation bias, listen to People I (Mostly) Admire with Steve Levitt.

Diaspro Profile

Name: Diaspro Fantine Hyndon Tapia

Age: 16

Gender: Female (she/her)

Birthday: May 3

Sexuality: Homosexual Polyamorous

Magic: Earth

Astrological Sign: Satyr 

Status: Noble

Occupation: Student

Affiliation: Tapia Family of Eraklyon, Alfea College for Fairies 

Planet of Origin: Eraklyon

Hobbies: Shopping, reading, fencing, drawing, browsing the internet

Family: Alexandra Colette Clementine Tapia (Mother), Royce Stern Talon Tapia (Father), Allegra Jillian Dorothea Tapia (Oldest sister), Benjamin Charles Francis Tapia (Older brother), Cecily Diana Elizabeth Tapia (Older sister), Edward Brian Ernest Tapia (Younger brother), Fiora Marcia Vanessa Tapia (Younger sister), Gene Henry Isaac Tapia (Youngest brother)

Position in Team: Coordinator

Pixie: Livy, Pixie of Messages 

Likes: Shiny objects, elaborate designs, architecture, siblings, warm weather

Dislikes: Getting hands dirty, cold weather, parents, responsibility, arguments

Appearance: Diaspro stands at 5’7”, though she’s often taller thanks to the heels she frequently wears. She has pale blonde hair that falls in tight curls down her back and reaches her hips. Her eyes are a warm mix of orange and brown. Her skin is lightly tanned. If she lived on Earth, she would have been born as half Latina and half white, and her skin tone shows such. Diaspro has what some might assume to be a perfect figure, but she has never found it to be good enough due to the nagging of her parents. Her hips are defined, but she doesn’t have much of a chest, which is her greatest insecurity regarding her body. After growing up with the expectation of perfection, Diaspro grew to hate her body’s flaws since she feared she wasn’t good enough. She often wears loose clothing to hide her true appearance when she’s given the option to do so. However, she is often unable to decide on what she wishes to wear without outside influence, meaning she frequently wears tight, lengthy dresses to show off her figure against her will. Diaspro’s favorite colors are all warm, ranging from red to orange, yellow, and pink. She wears cream as an accent color. 

Personality: Diaspro initially comes off as a self-centered young woman who cares little for others. However, such couldn’t be further from the truth, and she only puts up this mask as a way of hiding her true self. Diaspro was pushed to fit a given mold from a young age, making her into a talented actress and increasing her ability to hide her true feelings. Behind the facade, Diaspro is a sweet person who longs to see others reach their full potential. She is selfless when it comes to those she cares about and would do anything to see them happy. She tends to be a bit sarcastic at times, using it as both a defense mechanism and a way of breaking the ice around new people she doesn’t know as well. Diaspro struggles greatly with her self-image, always thinking about what others imagine her to be. She tends to push herself too far to be liked by everyone at times, which can exhaust her emotionally and physically. She can obsess sometimes over small mistakes due to her wish to be perfect, putting her in an unhealthy box of self-hatred in her pursuit of perfection. She wants to be the person her parents raised her to be, but she never seems to be good enough for them or her own expectations, making her self-esteem low. However, Diaspro hides all of this behind the mask of a quiet girl who can easily fit any situation to her needs. She’s resourceful and smart despite the facade she puts up. After years of hearing that she was only valuable for who she could be rather than she was, Diaspro grew lonely. She is desperate for companionship and can get rather clingy when it comes to people who treat her well. She grows defensive when it comes to those she cares about, meaning she can easily be manipulated by bad influences if they are nice enough to her. She has a manipulative side, something her parents taught to her, but she refuses to use it unless she believes the situation requires it. Overall, Diaspro is a kind young woman who longs to make friends despite her struggles with perfectionism and low self-esteem.

Background: Diaspro was born as the fourth child and third daughter of Alexandra and Royce Tapia, two nobles of Eraklyon. She had immense expectations on her head from the moment of her birth, as even if she wasn’t meant to inherit the family’s territory and power, all children of the Tapia line are expected to make a name for themselves. Soon after Diaspro was born, her parents decided what that name was going to be, and they set her up to marry the future king of Eraklyon, Sky. Diaspro hated this idea despite getting along well enough with Sky. While they were friends, he had little interest in her, and she had little interest in men as a whole. Even so, she acted as if she enjoyed it to make her parents happy, as she hated the idea of hurting them for her own ‘selfish’ desires. Alexandra and Royce shaped Diaspro into being a perfect noble alongside the rest of her siblings. They firmly told her who she was going to be, leaving little room for input from Diaspro herself. While her parents’ rule was oppressive, she still found joy in her siblings and the time she got alone. She began to sneak out to find out more about the greater world, realizing that she wanted to be a fairy along the way. Of course, Diaspro kept her training secret, only ever vocalizing her interest in the ‘noble sport’ of fencing when she got older. Diaspro grew closer with Sky and Brandon over time, as Sky had similar aspirations of a different life like Diaspro did and Brandon was simply kind to her. Sky and Diaspro encouraged one another every step of the way when their parents refused to do so, fostering a strong bond between them that only grew with time. However, despite their attempts to support each other, it wasn’t enough to keep Diaspro from suffering under her parents’ ideals. She was pushed to be perfect always, forced to engage in diets when she became ‘too heavy’. Diaspro grew to hate her body and all its imperfections over the years, though she longed to love herself despite her parents’ actions. When she hit fourteen years of age, Diaspro made a promise to herself to rebel against what her parents wanted for her. She did her best to love her body regardless of its flaws and accepted her sexuality. She became much more free internally, but she had to hide such behind her mask of indifference as her parents had instructed. Diaspro was much more free with Sky, and she was the one to give him the final push to enroll in Red Fountain despite his father’s concerns. He was unsure about leaving her behind, but she was happy to see him off. After Sky left, Diaspro made her own plans for a new future with her siblings, who all wanted to see unique paths. She wound up finding her new future when the Red Fountain festival happened, when she managed to convince her parents to let her enroll at Alfea in the year to come. 

Other: Diaspro enjoys designing her own clothes every once in a while, but she’s too flustered to share her ideas with anyone. She has a particular interest in architecture and antiques as well, and she has countless books on both subjects. Diaspro has bought countless antiques to restore them to their former glory, leaving her room cluttered with knicknacks. She’s a bit of a bookworm as well and reads a lot more than one might expect by just looking at her. Diaspro enjoys fencing and is perhaps the best out of the girls when it comes to swordplay.

Position in Team:

Diaspro has talent in a little bit of everything, particularly diplomacy and tactics. She is able to act as a secondary tactician when need be, coordinating everything perfectly when such is required. She’s also strong with talking out situations due to her parents’ affinity for politics passing onto her. She can subtly manipulate a situation to fit her whims when she finds it necessary, but she does her best to hide such. Diaspro acts as the middle ground between many fields and can fit any role needed.

Dynamics: 

Bloom: Diaspro and Bloom’s relationship didn’t exactly start well, as they were both incredibly upset with the truth about Sky. However, that changed over time, and they began to put aside their differences upon realizing they were much more similar than they initially realized. Diaspro often helps Bloom to get out her pent-up rage at the world while Bloom shows Diaspro how to stop hiding her true self. While both still have issues, they are helping each other through them slowly.

Stella: Contrary to popular belief, Diaspro and Stella have a rather positive relationship. At first, they weren’t sure of how to approach each other, but they did become close over time, finding common ground in fashion. They became close due to not only fashion but also self-confidence issues of the past. They eternally cheer each other on and are happy to help one another through dark times. Their personalities are similar and mesh incredibly well, making for a positive relationship.

Flora: Flora was the first one to reach out to Diaspro when the latter was looking for a place to belong. Diaspro welcomed Flora’s kindness and grew to care about her over time. Diaspro wasn’t sure of how to approach Flora in the beginning, but when she realized Flora only wanted to help her become a better person and make friends, Diaspro began to trust her. Flora helped Diaspro to realize and openly declare that she deserved better than what life was giving her, greatly boosting Diaspro’s confidence.

Musa: Musa and Diaspro can both be somewhat confrontational due to the horrible way the universe has treated them over the years, but they are both steadily improving thanks to the other. Musa showed Diaspro how to relax and do things for herself instead of others. Diaspro grew to be incredibly authentic with Musa, something none of the girls could have expected. Musa also found out that Diaspro loved classical music, allowing them to grow closer over that.

Tecna: Diaspro and Tecna didn’t talk much at first, though they did grow closer over time. Diaspro encouraged Tecna to open up about her feelings after she had been part of the group for a while. It took a lot of work to finally get Tecna to embrace the emotional after years of hiding her true self, but Diaspro managed to get it done. Even if they don’t interact much, when they do, it’s often a meaningful conversation about how they are both steadily improving themselves emotionally.

Aisha: Diaspro and Aisha have similar backgrounds due to suppressive parents and arranged marriages, allowing them to connect easily after they met. Diaspro was incredibly outspoken and angry about Aisha’s arranged marriage and did everything in her power to prevent it. After Aisha’s marriage was called off, Diaspro remained close with her, always pursuing the ability to show their true selves against the world. Diaspro also acts as a source of comfort for Aisha when the latter gets upset about Anne near the anniversary of her death.

Roxy: Diaspro struggled most with reaching out to Roxy when the latter began to think about joining the group. Diaspro was far from sure about how to approach Roxy, but after a while, she figured out how to talk to her. Roxy’s exploration of sexuality was something Diaspro could sympathize with after doing the same in her younger years. Diaspro became a voice of comfort for Roxy when she felt like she didn’t fit in, and Diaspro encouraged her not to make the same mistakes she did once upon a time.

Sky: Sky and Diaspro hold a very close relationship after growing up together. While neither is interested romantically in the other, they care a lot for each other and will stick together through thick and thin. Sky and Diaspro openly encourage one another’s romantic endeavors and tell the other to find happiness wherever it may be. While both were unsure of if putting the other in danger was alright, they became more trusting of each other after a while and relied on one another greatly in battle.

Brandon: Diaspro isn’t as close with Brandon as she is with Sky, but she still gets along with him. Brandon and Diaspro have similar snarky senses of humor. They can both get flirtatious casually with others they know, and they can have competitions over their somewhat flirty natures when they feel like it. They also team up to tell embarrassing stories about Sky from when they were kids, joking about how they enjoy to see the prim and proper prince get flustered.

Riven: To put it simply, Diaspro does not get along with Riven. She doesn’t like his spiteful way of behaving simply because it reminds her of the person her parents tried to groom her into. Diaspro tends to tell Riven to be better in a very snarky way, which can cause Riven to get confrontational. In most instances, Diaspro simply isn’t in the mood to deal with him and his attitude, and she leaves him alone since she knows talking to him isn’t worth getting upset over.

Timmy: Diaspro admires Timmy for how open he is about his authentic self regardless of what other people think of him. Even if he’s far from being popular, he still proudly shows who he is, something Diaspro wishes she had the guts to do when she was growing up. Timmy picks up on the subtle differences of Diaspro growing to accept herself more and tells her how proud he is of her in private, something that makes Diaspro much happier than one might originally expect. 

Helia: Diaspro and Helia don’t talk much due to the latter’s introverted nature. They don’t go out of their way to talk to each other, instead mostly interacting in a group setting. Diaspro does talk to him every once in a while about his art and poetry, finding such subjects to be incredibly intriguing. They don’t hate each other, but they don’t particularly get along well either, being more of acquaintances than close friends. Despite this, they respect each other greatly in silence.

Nabu: Diaspro wasn’t sure of how to feel about Nabu at first. However, she grew to care about him after a while when she heard that he had been forced into a loveless marriage as well. She doesn’t ask him much about it, but she does appreciate him for encouraging Aisha when they were growing up. They have a silent mutual respect due to their similar situations of the past, but they don’t voice their concerns about one another often since they don’t know each other well enough to do so confidently.

Alexandra: Diaspro does not think highly of her mother at all. Alexandra was insistent on grooming her daughter into a perfect future ruler, not seeing any value in what Diaspro believed at all. Diaspro hated this fact about her mother and never told Alexandra anything she valued highly. Alexandra’s heavily controlling nature affected Diaspro and all her siblings. Diaspro prefers to avoid her mother and has no wishes to reconnect with her, thinking she deserves better.

Royce: Royce wasn’t as active in Diaspro’s grooming as his wife was, but Diaspro hates him for how passive he was. Royce didn’t act against Alexandra to help his children, instead encouraging her behavior. Diaspro holds less of a grudge against him, but she still finds him to be deeply disgusting for thinking such manipulative tactics were alright. Royce claims Diaspro is incorrect in thinking he did anything to hurt her, not wanting to admit wrongdoing no matter what.

Allegra: Allegra took all of her siblings under her wing, but she had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders due to being the future head of the house. She told Diaspro to fake being perfect until she had the chance to get away, encouraging Diaspro to follow her dreams always. Diaspro found Allegra to be a great source of inspiration, looking up to her throughout her entire childhood. Allegra was proud beyond words when Diaspro began to attend Alfea, and the two exchange texts and calls often.

Benjamin: Benjamin was turned against his siblings from a young age due to Alexandra’s behavior. He followed her directions most, and he was often used as the example of an ideal child to compare Diaspro and her siblings to. While Diaspro doesn’t hate him for it, they still don’t talk much. Deep down, Benjamin hates being used as the example of perfection, but he struggles with saying so due to how he was raised. Diaspro understands why he is the way he is, but it still frustrates her that she is seen as inferior to him.

Cecily: Diaspro and Cecily are the two siblings closest in age, and they get along rather well. Cecily was treated as the misfit of the bunch due to her clumsy, trickster nature, and she often suffered as a result. Cecily still insisted that Diaspro make a strong life for herself. Cecily is only part of the family because her parents believe that disowning her would cause too much drama. Cecily and Diaspro both suffer from self-esteem issues, which they actively try to help each other through.

Edward: Edward was raised to be a second iteration of Benjamin, though he often failed in his endeavors. Diaspro and Edward can sympathize in feeling inferior to their older siblings, though they don’t talk about it much. Edward, much like Diaspro, feels as if he is a pathetic imitation of what he should be, causing him to be self-loathing to an unhealthy degree. Edward slipped into depression not long after Diaspro left, but he is still supported by his sister no matter what.

Fiora: Alexandra and Royce never took interest in Fiora, always thinking of her as being unable to go anywhere. Fiora was born without the ability to speak and communicated through sign language. Diaspro always made an effort to communicate with Fiora even when others didn’t, and Diaspro is incredibly protective of her. Fiora dreams of following in Diaspro’s footsteps and becoming a fairy, something Diaspro openly encourages her to try and do against their parents’ wishes.

Gene: Gene is the sibling Diaspro is most distant with. He was young when she left for Alfea, only being about five years old, but he was frequently compared to her and the other siblings. Even from a young age, he was thought of as lesser, and while he is too young to understand, he knows it doesn’t mean anything good. On visits home, Diaspro does all she can to encourage him and help him to feel better about life, even if it will be a long time before he fully comprehends her actions.

Livy: Livy’s clumsiness reminds Diaspro of Cecily, and due to Disapro’s positive relationship with her sister, she and Livy clicked quickly. Livy knows she is a bit of a mess but shows herself openly regardless and encourages Diaspro to do so as well. While it is a work in progress, Diaspro is growing to care less when she makes a mistake. Livy claims that if Diaspro doesn’t get mad when other people are imperfect, she shouldn’t get upset when she makes mistakes, something Diaspro attempts to live by.
