Prism: I don’t get what you see in him. He’s probably just a stuck up pretty boy
Starburst: Sounds familiar
Prism: What?
Starburst: What?
From what I know of psychology, it is an subconscious thing, and a leftover remnant of the ‘Electra Complex’ that is a part of every child’s youth.
That being the distaff counterpart to the Oedipus Complex, where children develop a romantic attraction to their parental figure of the opposite sex. It was fun learning about that, and how all children seem to have it.

Makes sense. If your father was a great parent, you’d naturally want a guy who’s just as great as he is. Things get hilarious/awkward when she starts gushing about her new boyfriend, saying how sweet and kind and strong he is and OH GOD HE’S JUST LIKE DAD AAAAAAA
Guess there is some truth to that…

I simultaneously thank you for the excellent advice and curse your very existence for making a fool out of me, good sir.
A fool tips his hat!

“Still on the fence about adding Fletcher. I feel like he’d just be a “Flash Sentry” hence the picture haha. I’ve had this pic for a bit but since I just uploaded a picture of Fletcher already, what the heck? Also, I think it shows a side of Starburst I’ve never shown before. I’ve mentioned that she’s not good with words before. She usually doesn’t have to use them much but when she does, AND is under pressure, she is a train wreck”
