I love how it cuts from his mom worrying about him becoming a pushover and people using him because of it, only to cut immediately to, “I will die on any hill.”
Clarifying statement: People abuse Adderal to have the hyper focus and high energy that Brennan has. People like Brennan take Adderal so we can breath for a second lol.
The realizing "oh noo" in the beginning with his mom telling him about how he wanted the quiz at the end of the book to be a quiz, paired with "I would do anything" "for what?" "to win anything" is golden
Brennan's mom telling the story about when he held the door open for 9 adults and then couldn't get as muffin because they were all selfish adults, literally breaks my heart. The fact that Brennan asked if he did something wrong... poor kid.
"You did absolutely the right thing. You just cant also depend on others to do the right thing." I really needed that lesson at some point in my youth rather than in adult years where it absolutely fucked my life up for a bit.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Brennen’s mom? She took a kid with amazing potential and nurtured him into the best version of himself he could possibly be.
“Brennan cries when old people are voted off the Great British Baking Show.” Followed by the deadpan, unflinching stare from Brennan directly into the camera activated my fight or flight instinct.
