ok so i am actually a sucker for all of the outer planet sailor scouts. uranus is definitely my favorite, but i ache for sailor saturn. pluto is also a total babe.

What jobs exist because people are selfish?
i'd say a lot of politicians and lawyers tend to go into both things not to help people, but solely because they're in it for the money, or for some kind of retribution. i'm definitelhy not saying neither of those career choices have people who aren't lowkey megalomaniacs, but i feel like they're few and far between.

australian, 100%

pettiness in other people, even though i myself can be petty at times.
