unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

Leeches are fantastic medical assistants!

"Selfishness" in a woman is usually just a strong sense of self-preservation.

I thought that fell out of favour...

Why does everyone keep saying that?

[Yeah they're falling out of favor even when and where he's from.]

Sure a good bleeding doesn't fix everything but they're excellent when used along with other treatments.

I'm no doctor but if I recall, medical science let that go about the time we invented aspirin.

[She's right— she is no doctor. Just a woman who's been around long enough to remember some very old trends.]

What other treatments?

That of course depends on the sickness! Purging, herbal remedies, rebalancing the humors, amputation depending on the circumstances - some go for 'magic' but I am of course a man of science - so I must ask what is an 'aspirin'?

Okay I'm certain we abandon humoral medicine. Where— or rather when— are you from dear?

Oh. Acetylsalicylic acid. Not entirely unlike paracetamol. You know, a little, bitter white tablet. Good for mild aches and pains.

An acid! As a medicine? Fascinating.

[And he rattles of the year it is for him but let's face it it, it probably doesn't correspond with an earth calendar year. Or maybe it does because they've got the standard months? Look, there is a very real date and he knows what it is.]

Could be wrong, but isn't that the same trait that makes men "great leaders"?

Listen, ballet isn't "pretty" or "cute". I could literally kick your head off with my grand battement.

Is that so strange where you're from? You are... human? Aren't you?

Absolutely it is, my dear. Never let them tell you otherwise.

Hey, I stopped listening to what men said a couple of decades ago. Don't they just hate that.

And how often have they tried to make you suffer for it, darling?

Pretty often. I like to make them suffer in return.

Oh, and how we have to beat it down, yes?

[ Amusement is palpable in her voice, her French accent purposefully thick. ]

That depends. By it do you mean one's sense of self preservation? Or men.

[A wry smile.]

Only fair. Regret makes for incredibly teachable moments.

What sort of suffering do you specialize in?

Social conditioning and the men teaching it to us will have me say our self preservation.

Well, I certainly hope they haven't worn you down yet.

You sound like my sister. I try not to get my head in the way of her feet if I can help it.

Good and bad — or so-called good and evil — are most often a matter of perspective.

The sort that makes people end up dead. [ Said in the flattest voice ever. ] Sorry, I know you're supposed to deliver a line like that with some kind of feeling, but honestly.

[ A small whistle along with a toss of her head that all boils down to: what goes around comes around, yeah. ]

I like your sister. [ A shrug, like a hard jerk of her shoulder. Could have been elegant, but isn't. ] And I guess I always like a guy who knows when to stay the hell out.

Don't apologize to me, dear. You won't catch me clutching my pearls.

Some people only live as long as they do thanks to the mercy of others. I'm not known for being a terribly merciful woman either.
