tell me why i should choose brains over beauty, as if that's a real thing.
because clearly you can't be gorgeous and a genius at the same time.
the brainiac is supposed to wear thin rimmed glasses and have untamed hair, no social life and crooked yellow teeth, clothes put together by a blind maid from the 1900's and not enough time to actually care about appearances, acne dotting skin like bubblewrap, and a face stuck in shitty comics that nobody's ever heard of.
the beauty is supposed to be tall with just the right amount of curves, but not too much because that's too slutty, wavy blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. a perfectly proportioned face, even though nobody really knows what the right proportions for a face actually are, and natural makeup, not too much because that's false advertising, and not too little, because then your natural acne shows.
tell me again why i should choose beauty over brains, as if that's even a real thing.
why can't someone be both genius and gorgeous?
