proofofconcept: (disappointed optimist)

I mean you effectively told me be sexy, not be useful, so that's what I did

[He was fulfilling (read: apparently failing to fulfill) the assignment given, and doesn't really understand why it was apparently something else all along. As a socially inept, not-neurotypical nerd, this whole be interesting, be useful thing is frustrating him a little because it feels like shifting the goalposts. Jack may feel like a caveman for his lack of advanced math knowledge, but Quentin feels shitty for yet another social interaction that seems to have taken a turn somewhere that he missed.]

If you want me to discard the "be sexy" brief and just talk more about magic then I can do that because apparently no one likes what I have to say to these "everyone is attractive" comments
