The Jeezuz brigade strikes again.

Why is it that I seem to attract these people?  It's like flies to honey, or mosquitoes to a bug zapper

It's the waif thing. You're petite, with a slim face, and large eyes, and that makes people with barely-concealed control issues feel as though you might just need a bit of looking-after.

It's like the reverse coin of the amazon thing, where people take a look and think that if they disagree with me, I'm going to chew their arm off and shove it up their cornhole.

See, if I wasn't at work, that's precisely what I would have done!

I keep tellin people, and tellin people, but they never believe me that it's the wee, cute ones they really should be afraid of!

[mijan]

But of course! And when they call me "cute"... that's when I get REALLY dangerous!

And really... I'm not *that* petite*. I'm actually very solidly muscled.

[cluegirl]

Doesn't matter; I know you're solid, but those big eyes of yours are going to get you tagged as a waif till the cows come home on their own.

I guess this is proof you're not a Slytherin, or you'd be milking the illusion for whatever you could get out of the mistakenly protective. *Grin!*

[mijan]

Oh, come now. I use the illusion when I NEED it... but why would I milk the illusion when I have far more fun messing with people's perceptions by being the exact opposite of what they expect? But yes, I've used it upon occasion, but not without cause. :D
