Where's the street-wise Heracles to defy the rising odds?
Whether or not you’re a princess you’re strong, independent and confident in your own abilities. But sometimes you hit rock bottom, sometimes you find yourself in need of help. It’s okay, we all need a hero at times. And maybe they’re exactly who you need, or someone that you would have least expected.
I NEED A HERO MEME
Person in distress
1) Classic, fantasy rescue- Oh dear, somehow, someway you were captured by some nefarious ne’er-do-well. Now you’re locked in a tower/dungeon/whatever else you can come up with.
2) Kidnapped- Whether it was by dragon, a band of thieves or that one miscreant with that obviously evil mustache, you now need help escaping your confines.
3) Caught in a problem you created- Of course not all situations are caused by some villain looking to cause problems. No, sometimes you are your own worst enemy.
4) You don’t need saving- AKA: wrong damsel. Well this does happen sometimes. You don’t know who this person is that’s come to help you, but you’ve got everything under control here. Still perhaps you won’t say no to some extra help?
The knight in shining armor
1) Traveler- You were just minding your own business; either exploring a far off land or just passing through. All of sudden you’ve found yourself caught up helping this person.
2) Knight- Or perhaps you’re there on purpose; a knight, either metaphorically or literally, come to rescue someone in their hour of need.
3) The steed/squire/apprentice- The knight had failed, or maybe they themselves are need of help. Sometimes it falls to the sidekick to make things right.
4) Friend or family- Lets face it, the most important heroes and role models we can ever have are sometimes those we’ve known for most of our lives.
