A deeply flawed one who, at every turn, makes the worst possible decision. Yet somehow, I am still alive, unsupervised, and making it everyone else’s problem. 

Yes, my older brother is always there to lecture me after every hedonistic display of poor judgment. But he drives a Dodge Stratus. I cannot take life advice from a grown man who still has a CD changer in his car.

And yes, my so-close-yet-so-far love interest does call me a “barely functional fetus” when I abuse my powers. Personally, I choose to believe that’s how she talks dirty to me.

Each episode of The Rushes Mixtape is a new reminder that I should not be trusted with supernatural abilities.

None of this should end well.
Spoiler: it never does.

Because with every poor decision, I’m getting dragged deeper into a world I didn’t know existed. A world not actually from this…world. 

There’s no redemption arc here.
No clean exit.

Just me. Shadi. Making it worse.

While rooted in the early 1900s, much of her commentary still feels relevant, especially in how she exposes manipulation and vanity beneath polished manners. A Guide to Men remains both a product of its era and a timeless exploration of relational folly.
