Chaotic good because I’ll always end up doing the right thing, it just may be through unconventional methods.

Just a reminder to you know, go easy on yourself. Especially if you think you just said something lame. Because if I learned anything by growing up in the 80s/90s, it’s that it ain’t easy being cheesy.
