Prompt #3500

“I’m aware,” they said quietly, “that the League doesn’t think I’m good enough to be your nemesis. Not strong enough, not deadly enough, not famous enough. And they’re right. So why are you resisting being swapped out?”

“Because of you, idiot. It will always be because of you.”

3077. My Nemesis

This is "My Nemesis." A slight resemblance to anonymity.

I have been given a nemesis. So many years without a nemesis and now I find myself with a nemesis. Because this nemesis is my nemesis, does that mean I am their nemesis? I do not think one means the other. Perhaps, certainly, it encourages the other, but it doesn't mean the other. One can be precluded from being the other's nemesis. For instance, if I do not even know my nemesis, how then I can I be their nemesis? Of course, being a nemesis is not up to the nemesis. One really doesn't need to know the other to be their nemesis. But if I know I have a nemesis, then I why wouldn't I become the nemesis of my nemesis?

I am being told I've misunderstood something. Something about my nemesis. The nature of my having a nemesis. Or perhaps my relationship to the other, who may or may not be my nemesis.

i’m anti minimalist architecture because i need an ornate ledge to dangle from after my nemesis gains the advantage in our (rooftop) single combat and they mercifully offer me their hand and beg me to forsake my evil ways and join them so i take their hand like i’m going to accept their help but then i say “no, join ME” and yank them off balance and together we hurtle toward the ground below locked in a mortal embrace

Work with nature, not against it.

My dad has a massive vegetable garden and it is his life. Whenever I ask how things are going, he tells me about the garden. Periodically he will text me a picture of the things he's harvested and ask when I'm coming to pick them up. And for a while, the biggest bit of garden gossip has been his nemesis, the gopher. This gopher was consistently ruining his day by pilfering the best of everything just before my dad could harvest it. Anytime I talked to him, all he had to tell me about was "that damned gopher." He dreamt about killing the gopher, his truest enemy. He tried to train the dog to hunt the gopher, but the dog is a pacifist. He led some of the barn cats to the holes, but the barn cats have unionized and refused his offered rate. He then laid no-kill traps (can't risk having poison near the crops) with eventual gophercide in mind, but then suddenly he was faced with a cute and terrified animal and didn't have the heart. He released it. "He was so scared, he'll never come back." The gopher was back the next day, with a vengeance. That was some weeks ago. Today, my dad sent me pictures of his garden, and I saw a squash gently laid by the gopher's hole, like a package left on the doorstep. I said "Dad, what's that squash doing there by the gopher hole?" He said "Oh, he likes squash best." In an effort to appease the gopher, my father now gives him a little squash everyday, like leaving an offering for a garden spirit. This apparently works well as a compromise; the gopher has stopped stealing, content to have his meals delivered to his door.

As requested, the list of archaeology nemeses which i poses: (in no particular order other than #5 bc tumblrs formatting hates me right now, and i cant be bothered to fix it)

Whoever convinced the general public that archaeologists and paleontologists are the same thing (not the public themselves, i can be nice to them, but whoever started it.............. i just want to talk)

Trying to excavate in dry soil with high sand content and having sediment patches just... leak out in random spots from the pit walls

Cant Function A Mattock To Save My Life

Sieving wet clay is like sieving porridge and its TERRIBLE and HORRIBLE and DISGUSTING and makes HORRENDUS SOUNDS

As discussed, Munsell chart and my complete and utter inability to read colours correctly

Any varient of the "The archaeologists didnt figure this out it was some Normal Person Who Knows Crafts And Life Skills" my Dear Personal Friend i hate to rain on your anti-academia parade, but archaeologists ARE people (although jury's still out on normal for some of them...)
