    You’re right about assassins needing to be able to move easily, being flat chested would actually be advantageous because ninja-like assassin characters should ideally be able to move their body weight fluidly like it were nothing.

    p.s. you're honestly the funniest youtuber i have ever watched. i wasn't an avid book reader when i found you, but you're so hilarious that i just had to subscribe. now because of you, i found my passion for reading again and i've been slowly but surely finishing books (some of which are your recommendations)

    Speaking as a middle child, the middle sister providing the older sister with the obvious solution, realizing that she’s gonna keep up the drama for petty reasons, then just noping out of that entire situation was peak representation. Sometimes people are just deadset on pointless drama and you just have to know when to cut your losses before they try and drag you into their bs.
