MC: Does it involve breaking the law?
Mammon: By now don't you think that's a given?
MC: I was just trying to be optimistic.
Mammon: Don't bother, darlin’. Ya fell in love with my devilish charm and that's not changin’ so let’s go!

i'm tired of otherwise-lighthearted media pushing this global obsession with being the best at something. exhausted with protagonists whose one driving motivation is to be the best in their chosen field, like that's a noble and healthy thing.
because see, there are nearly 8 billion people on this gorgeous godless blue earth. many-if-not-most of us live in abusive economies wherein we are regularly pushed to our limits to overachieve, at the cost of our health, happiness, and personal lives. being the very very best at something, out of all 8 billion humans on the planet, does not happen because of automatic talent or being divinely appointed by god/s. it happens because of talent, plus thousands upon thousands of hours spent in practice. and if those thousands-upon-thousands of hours come at the cost of your inner healthy and balance--as living under high psychological pressure often does--that's not noble. that's self-abuse.
and while I deeply empathize with characters who feel that pressure to push themselves to unhealthy extremes, I want to see that philosophy ultimately rejected, not romanticized. No one needs to be the best. No one even needs to do their personal best, not all of the time. It's okay to live life without constantly trying to measure up to something. It's okay to just live.
