#i copywrote this entire thing my damn self

[pacificgasandelectric]

don't reblog for sample size, accurate statistics are a fool's game and I want this poll to be biased as hell; do reblog because I like seeing the numbers go up <3

propaganda/explanations under the cut!

Gideon Nav - literally intended to be a bomb instead of a baby from her conception (it didn't take), then the people who took her in as an infant tried to use her + many other children to fuel their necromantic ritual (it didn't take), then she spends the entire first book discovering that her job as Cavalier Primary is to act as a soul-battery for her Necromancer Harrow and let her soul get eaten so Harrow will have functionally-infinite-and-eternal necromantic power (it doesn't take), and then when Harrow won't do it, she kills her damn self to make it happen (it doesn't take.)

Anakin Skywalker - raised under the weight of The Prophecy™ that he would "bring balance to the force", leading to him feeling pressured to be the perfect Jedi despite also constantly being told he's not a good enough Jedi; unfortunately only manages to actually fulfill it after two+ decades of galactic war crimes, but he does get there eventually (and dies in the process)

Luke Castellan - doomed by The Prophecy™ to die, regardless of if he chooses the "preserve" or "raze" option re: Olympus & the gods in general

Frodo Baggins - undertakes the world's worst road trip of technically his own volition, but with the clear understanding that if he doesn't do it, it's not going to get done, and knowing from the start that he will be irrevocably changed by the end (which he is.)

Miles Edgeworth - raised by Manfred Von Karma to be the perfect fall guy for Von Karma's (extremely prolonged) revenge scheme. and it would have worked, too, if it weren't for that meddling boyfriend extremely dedicated childhood friend!

Iphigenia - killed as a sacrifice by her father, King Agamemnon, in order to make up for his offense against Artemis; if he doesn't sacrifice Iphigenia, Artemis won't let the Greek army sail for Troy, which would lead to the army mutinying and likely killing Agamemnon and his family
