( No Title )
In fiction there are two types of sinister schemes and heroic plans that succeed, and two types that fail.
Succeed:
🐭 schemes and plans that work because they are genuinely clever, meticulous, and well thought out.
🐭 schemes and plans that work because they are not as clever as their schemer thinks, but I am the author and I chose not to have any of the many possible things that could go wrong with the plan go wrong.
Fail:
🐭 schemes and plans that fail because they are not as clever as their schemer thinks and something obvious goes wrong.
🐭 schemes and plans that are genuinely clever, meticulous and well thought out, but I am the author and I chose to have something that no possible planner could have predicted go wrong at the worst possible moment.
Elusive third type of successful scheme:
A scheme so objectively pathetic, it succeeds because nobody in-universe takes it seriously enough to stop it.
Fuck, you’re right. We don’t write idiot heroes enough. 🤣🤣🤣
