God dammit could I be a worse fucking writer that my default is the most fucking stereotypical bullshit, fuck.
you should realize that when fat guys complain about stuff online, it's almost 99% rationalization.
What happens is that the gestalt work fails to make them star struck, so they start nit picking.
I swear it's like that. Beyond a certain level, I mean.
You could bitch that there's no reason for Hamlet not to immediately kill Claudius and call it a major plot hole or some gay shit. But no one does. Cause the execution surpassed gay nerd complaints.
The same is true for cliches. If you pull em off well enough, no one will complain.
Also, if it's really not working, just make the double life thing just a red herring and come up with something more interesting. There's an edit button nigga
