Of course to you, the plot is terrible. Whoever's watching it is enjoying your suffering like they would any good tragedy, so take some consolation in that~

If it's any consolation, it sounds like you're living in an action movie right now. Maybe get shot once or twice, that'll complete the theme.

If I am, then the plot is terrible.

Come to think of it, I've actually gotten worse advice than "go get shot once or twice."

Sure as hell not the best advice but I take what I can get.

I think that was directed at Corai.

Further proof that you've been working too long :P

See, not lying, and I totally just proved it without trying. :D We're gonna stick with that one.

Justification for yelling at others. Mom would be proud and envious of me all at once, then explode. You have stumbled upon greatness. :P

Truean, you live in a crime drama, not an action movie.

I used to think this was my life's purpose for several years.


In all seriousness, no one should ever fall into that trap. There are way better things to justify your life with than being an example of consequences.

Everyone's life is an example of consequences, I thought? Perhaps some not as blatant as others, but still.  :)

Well, bad consequences. And it's certainly not one's sole justification for living, ever.

I would watch the Truean Crime Drama Show.

...actually, have you considered teaming up with an author and telling your life story at some point? Seriously, this shit is gold.

Episode 1: Truean talks a man down from going on a shooting rampage.
Episode 2: Truean receives some asshole's cremated relative.
Episode 3: Uh... that's really all I can remember right now, I don't have a list or anything. Someone else fill these in.

It'd be like that war movie of a true story that had to be toned down because nobody believed it was true.

Okay, I've got this.

The pilot starts out with Truean lecturing at some law school about how law schools are shitty. This sets her up as an elite lawyer or something silly like that (I'm not very good at characterization), then she gets interrupted by the guy who wants to shoot people and the episode ends with some snappy comment like "That's what real lawyering is like."

We'll call it True Truean.

There was also the literally impossible case (you know, the robbery case[?] where everyone else called not it and then Truean got the plaintiff to confess to making the whole thing up).

And there could be a filler episode wherein Truean tells us about the idiots in the industry, such as the lawyer who attempted to countersue by showing some poorly doctor images, and the lawyer says to Truean "NOT SO HOT ARE YOU NOW, FALSE-AN?"
