Brain: You know what we need for that Toph-Azula thing? Emotion porn.
Me: What.
Brain: Tender, vulnerable, Victorian-novel style emotion porn.
Me: We...watched Ponyo and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus too close together, I think.
Brain: We already wrote emotion porn. Just back it up a little.
Me: But they would never discuss their feelings in such an open, obvious manner! The writing is unpublishable drivel by default!
Brain: You really are a doofus. Of course it is; the emotion porn is for US. Once we have all their actual feelings worked out, then we know what they are. And then they can ignore and hide them and cycle through them really fast to get rid of them, and THEN we might be able to find an antagonist for them. You know we work in tiny bits and build up on them, right?
Me: Oh. My. God.
Me: What.
