so why aren't my characters properly dealing with their issues™?
Kyete: "Well, yeah, I've got issues, but I'm a serial killer, so my feelings aren't that important."
Cosmo: "Yeah, of course I've got issues, but I wouldn't want to get all dramatic about it. I mean, everyone feels like they'd rather be dead sometimes, right?"
River: "Well, yes, I do have issues, but they're really complicated and dealing with any of that feels like it would take a lot of time and energy that I just don't have."
Richie: "Of course I've got issues, but I don't give a shit about that because I've also got beer. Hopefully that helps."
Dexter: "Well, maybe I've got some issues, but I'll have to set that aside for the audience. I'm just here to give them a good show, after all! I wouldn't want to drag them down with me."
Kai: "Of course I've got issues, but I'm, like, 14 and I'm still processing how shitty my parents are. Give me some time, for the love of god. Then we'll talk."
Mortis: "Of course I have issues, but frankly, I don't have the energy to deal with that anymore. I'm the conduit of death, I have more important things to worry about."
Bernadette: "Yes, I am dealing with some... issues, but there are people out there who need my help. It's for the best that I can focus on their needs."
Flick: "Yeah, I've got issues, but anyone in my place would. Besides, I kinda deserve to feel awful with how shitty I've been."
Bill: "Yeah, I've got issues. And I'm fucking pissed about it."
Jessie: "...uh, yeah, of course I have issues. What, are you supposed to deal with those?"
Christine: "Issues? I don't have issues. You're the one with issues."
(lakra would be here too but they just might be the only one with no issues™)
