In dramaland, leading ladies often find themselves torn between the love of two equally attractive men — a choice none of us would want to make! But what if you did have to pick between the frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer? In this weekly feature, we ask you to make the difficult decisions — and we aren’t limiting our options to dreamy oppas.
Vote via the poll and feel free to use the comments to explain exactly how you were able to choose! So, Beanies:
WOULD YOU RATHER #24 RESULTS
The clear winner in both the poll and the comments section is the option to inherit a shaman’s spell book, but the gap between the two options was a lot smaller than I expected after reading the comments. Like @claire2009, I was surprised that nearly 40% of voters wanted the love app when so few people in the comments section indicated why they preferred it. Must be a very silent and — perhaps, shy — minority. If they are shy, it would explain why such a love app would be appealing, as it takes away the guess work. For @emsel, though, not only would the app weed out “disinterested people” but it would be a solution to avoiding “arranged marriage stuff.” @abalyn, on the other hand, “wouldn’t touch that spell book with a ten foot pole” for fear of the unintended consequences.
Mostly, though, the comments were full of reasons for selecting the spell book. Half the folks saw it as the lesser of two evils because the app is “creepy” and would be a conduit to attracting equally “creepy men” (@lemonylite). The other half, however, believed that the spell book had a lot more to offer them. For instance, you could wish for “academic excellence,” like @jerrykuvira, or use the spells for more devious purposes, like @gikata and @darwi.
But, leave it to @lordcobol to point out the most logical explanation: you can use the spells to get rich or become more attractive. And if romance really is your goal, then someone’s going to be attracted to you for those, albeit superficial, qualities. Plus, you know, there’s a love spell in those pages somewhere! That said, using the spells means burning the pages, and I’m with @jls943 on this one: how could I burn the pages of such an interesting antique book?!
