when they say > never meet your heroes, what the hell do they actually mean?

i feel like there are 500 sitcoms or movie clips or whatever where there's like, somebody all knowingly shaking their head, and saying "this is what they mean" to some kid who just got his/her soul crushed by his/her hero, trail off dot dot dot. sometimes it's because the > hero was a dick, sure, but other times it's because > worshiper is legit annoying, maybe creepy, maybe just had too much paunch overflowing their jeans to make it as a starfucker, right? ??

are they just saying, don't tell the mother of dragons all the butt stuff fiction was pre-psych rehab? or after you write this semi-autobiographical best-seller about that one time heisenberg murdered you and everybody you knew, maybe don't call him up for coffee? be a lawyer, abandon all idols and ideals. or a famous singer. because you can't have heroes when you, your mic, and the narcissism taking up the whole pedestal.

come on. half of you get advertised as > heroes. what is up. not like $50/a pop for autographs is a deal you'd turn down, right?

$50/a pop autographs is not for heroes - it's for celebrities. which we all kind of are, for better or worse

meet your heroes, then watch as they become human instead of heroes. woe about it, possibly lose interest, or else decide you like them better as people than as ideals.

mother of dragons????????????????????????????
this is the only truly important part of this post

[rekt]

ok what if i have no heroes
oops did i win the game

i just contacted daenerys player realizing that title might not be IC, PLS BE FORGIVING IF RETCON;;

[pillz]

same deal, man. anybody going for your autograph, you're their hero, right?
i know i'm a day late with all this normal social behavior crap, [look, he said 'crap' instead of 'shit,' paragon of sainthood,] but i ain't wrong right?

how do you not know the mother of dragons.
> of the mother of dragons.

[pillz]

i think that means you should think abou a stage persona and practice your sweet falsetto, baby. i can't be the only one deserves to hear it.

HEY HEY ALWAYS FORGIVING. No worries

[driftsintobuffetline]

D< i refuse to say you're right
but maybe
sometimes they're you're hero i guess


IDK MAYBE BECAUSE A LITTLE SHITHEAD DIDN'T INTRODUCE ME??
ZIPPO NEEDS TO MEET HER, THEM, WHOEVER
WHY HAVE YOU WITHHELD

ok dragon mama is a go

[pillz]

spoken like a man who's
either been somebody's hero or wants to be, i can't really tell what's going on right now.

i didn't know you were into dragons. did i know you was into dragons?
sometimes my meds kind of fuck with my memory. [oh no an f-bomb don't tell dr. chilton (it's fine dr. chilton doesn't care.)] or women.
note: i don't think she gave birth to him like, biologically or nothing.
drogon. you ain't heard of drogon?

yay!

[driftsintobuffetline]

maybe idk either

consider different meds. pretty sure reality warping is not exactly a side-effect recommended for trying to maintain sobriety. your doc's not crane, right?

[Attached is a picture of the tiny dragon Kavinsky gave him, who Newt calls Zippo.]

Look familiar? of course i like dragons
what do you mean "or women"?

was that the dragon that dude was chasing down a while back? I vaaaaaguely recall it. don't ever get married, kid. you'll never get to chase dragons

[knaval]

depends what they're famous for
lot of people in my race back home that're famous are so because of how many people theyve killed
antifamous? wahts the word for it

[pillz]

[somewhere in an import city, kavinsky is staring at the screen in surprise. he suddenly remembers.]

can't believe i forgot. damn.

[it's what happens.]

not crane. this guy called dr. fred chilton. he has a place in maurtia falls. good guy.
i mean women cuz daenerys is a woman. figured you was into one or both.
and yeah i think that was the dragon. probably?
your husband try to keep you tucked in at night eh?

[pillz]

infamous. word you're looking for is infamous.
this is about gigantic space aliens who don't eat organic food again, ain't it?

Familiarity breeds contempt?
Anthony Holden is commonly associated with the whole never meet your heroes adage and the context was that once he met his hero he learned more about his hero than he ever wanted to know
What he learned complicated his admiration and he was never able to see his hero the same way again

[slightlyoffchilt]

Who would your heroes be, Joseph?

[pillz]

doc doc is it fishing for compliments o' clock?

[pillz]

sounds like reasons not to date.
who's anthony holden? that the kid from the book they make us read in high school.

[it isn't. catcher in the rye. kavinsky wasn't as bad a student as people thought, but he was not by any stretch, a good student.]

[typea]

Comparable I imagine.
I don't think they make you read Of Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Princes: A Decade in Fleet Street at the high school level.
But he is a writer.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Chilton kinda scares me, but I've heard a lot of people like him.

Both. Both are good.

Husband tries to keep me from dying. he's had enough of that.

[picksthenames]

i believe in "dont meet your heroes," but mostly when your heroes are lying psychopaths who kill you when you find out their secrets.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm simply interested in hearing your personal perspective. You deserve a platform just as much as anyone else.

TEXT.

[specialise]

Easy. Don't meet the people you consider heroes because they're going to disappoint you. It's inevitable.

[am_i_a_monster]

They mean your heroes will disappoint you. Life can be like those clips or worse. The same people that save lives take them.

Be careful writing anything about your life or other people's lives.

I wouldn't trust someone who wanted money for my autograph. But I'm not a hero.

[pillz]

why he scare you, sweetheart? he's just a little doctor likes to write books and make big speeches at fanport. same as any little doctor.

you died before? am i picking up what you're putting down

[driftsintobuffetline]

look, don't give me that little doctor crap. I'm not little
But just our first meeting didn't go great

i came close. he found me. not cool

[pillz]

yeah the summer reading list skipped that.
did yours?
you remember complicated how?

cw c-word, revisiting it for the first time in Some Time

[pillz]

[o senpai]

used to be i was always more into having myself somebody to hate than having heroes
it's all new to me
dunno if it's gonna fit.
i think little boys are supposed to start with their dads, but mine was a cunt. that where i went wrong maybe.

[pillz]

okay that seems like solid advice.
what's up with your life, son?
