Everybody does colossally stupid things at some point in their lives. Pups are no exception. What's your pup's Really Big Stupid, or at least the biggest they're willing to share with you?

Trusting Guy of Gisborne would not hurt her.


(Especially that he would not kill her. Sigh.)

[bjornwilde]

Ben: Walking out on his wedding to protect Debz even though super villains had already threatened her and knew who she was, cause if he's not with her they won't hurt her right? What the hell kind of logic is that Marvel?

I'll have to think about my others.

[chameno_koritsi]

Having faith in Luke.

[no_more_hiding]

Wanting to be normal and pushing Raven to do the same.

[the_gene_genie]

Easy. That one time he heard a noise, and assumed it was kids messing about and went to investigate on his own.

Raging at himself about that one, thirty years later. *pats him*

[lady_bols]

~raises a glass~ To those of us for whom the adage 'curiosity killed the cat' is all too apropos.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Arguably, at this point in his career, the worst thing that Mark has ever done is believe in his father.

[thenewblack]

*bitter laughter that trails off into almost silent sobbing*

[saphyria]

One evening, Sunshine went out to her parents' old cabin by the lake to be alone with her thoughts and try to work through what had been bothering her.

It turned out to be a more stupid move than it should have been.

[gondolin_noble]

Glorfindel: ... he's taken so many ridiculous risks (and paid for most of them), but for the big things (leaving Aman, dying by way of balrog, returning to Arda) he feels he's entirely justified.

Probably he kicks himself the most for not tipping Maeglin over the city walls when he had the chance. Or at least tying the elf up and leaving him outside the city gates when he started to look odd.

Ace: I'm gonna go with 'told the ultimate evil the answer to the riddle the Doctor was using to trap him'. Oops?

Haymitch: Not dying. That, or mouthing off to President Snow after he failed to die. He's not sure which one caused more damage.

Balthazar: Being too slow to stop Veronica from doing what she did. There had to have been a better way to contain Morgana while they regrouped.

[basic_powers]

...running above ground to help stop the alien invasion of his school...which were the same aliens that'd taken a sample of his dna.

This turned out to be a really BAD PLAN.

And going to career day. He still kicks himself for not realizing who was being manuvered as game pieces to get something big started.

[minkhollow]

Cata: Letting Mizzamir's goons catch her.

Sam: Putting on Valerie's pendant of pure evil. He's lucky that ended as well as it did. See icon.

Claudia: Using Volta's lab coat to try to change a light bulb.

Apollo: He doesn't like to talk about the Daphne incident, though to this day he will maintain that Eros is a crap archer (that being the comment that got him into that mess).

Imp: "One day, they will say I was the greatest musician that ever lived!"

Regulus: Listening to his mother so damn much. (At this point, he hasn't joined the Death Eaters, or I'd say that. He may not do in Millicanon.)

Red: TRYING TO CATCH THE WOLF BY HERSELF. (Her grandmother's biggest mistake: NOT TELLING RED WHY THE CLOAK WAS SO DAMN IMPORTANT. KJHFILSEURTHHBFHJDG.)

[sky_child]

I'm tempted to say every day of his life.

Even the days when he's being a hero. I'm sure the gamer makes him do he does plenty of unwise things during his journey.

[ladyoflorien]

I'm sure the gamer makes him do he does plenty of unwise things during his journey.

The number of times I RAGEQUIT during Majora's Mask and made him flounce around Hyrule Field cutting up every bush, breaking every stone, and catching every bug/ghost/fish would make most gamers cry.

>__>

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Merlin: Not listening to the Great Dragon about Morderd, Morgana, the sword...

Ianto: Hiding CyberLisa. Thinking guns were a wise thing to bring to a fight with a creature in bullet-proof glass. fucking children of earth.

I'm sure my other pups have done some stupid things but those are the first that come to mind.

[death_gone_mad]

Giving her priests and priestesses enough power to seriously fuck up the gods. Also turning her priests and priestesses into cats instead of outright killing them and erasing then from existence.

CAN'T SLEEP CATS WILL EAT ME

[sdelmonte]

Kirk: Accepting that promotion. And thinking it was a good idea.

Charlie: Taking up smoking again after quitting for a while.

Cyborg: Nothing as of yet, but he's young.

Gibbs: Enlisting. He should have just hopped a ship to the tropics and been done with it.

Knox: I don't think he's ever done a Big Stupid. More like a lot of little ones that never quite get that bad.

Howard Stark: At the moment, not making sure he could find a way to run his company while serving with the Strategic Scientific Reserve. Worse mistakes are likely to come.

[ceitfianna]

Will: Thinking he was safe enough to lay a trap for the Sheriff's men that ended up getting him captured.

Charles: He hasn't done a big stupid yet, but he'll get there soon enough. At the moment just lots of little stupids.

Sameth: Hard choice between running away from Belisaere or trying to take on Hedge himself.

William: This is hard for him as he has lots of little stupids and the big stupid thing he did ended up helping, but sometimes he regrets going after his father to Contention. He doesn't know if it would have changed anything but he knows he probably should have stayed home.

Moist: Nothing big yet just lots of little ones.

Jane: Believing that she and Tom could have a happy ending.

Demeter: She can't think of one.

Tumnus: Working for the Witch for a time, yes, it was safer but he shouldn't have.

The Pirate King: Hiring Frederic.

[ladyoflorien]

Ouch, Jane. D:

[ladyoflorien]

I have to pick one stupid event? Ho boy. *eyes my roster*

• Leela - eyeeyecaptain - In season 2, an episode in the vein of the Twilight Zone showed what would happen if Leela were more impulsive. The answer: buy a new pair of boots, sleep with Fry, and oh yeah, go on a killing spree.
  
• Porthos - srspirate - Constantly starting fights without thinking it through, but the man is an arrogant, charismatic drunkard, who often uses the appearance of being stupid to his advantage. One of my favorite exchanges = Jussac: "Are you coming peacefully or do you intend to resist?" Porthos: "Oh don't be so stupid, of course we intend to resist! Just give us a moment, all right?"
  
• Grace Augustine - donthidemycigs - She honestly can't figure out why the Na'vi don't implicitly follow her superior advice. And now she's a tree.
  
• Renee Walker - whathastobedone - *ignoring season 8* Letting Jack Bauer get behind her on several occasions. And no, not in a bow chica wow wow sort of way -- the man put her in a sleeper hold.
  
• Ray Carling - flickedmethevs - In one of his many fits to gain approval, Ray accidentally causes the death of someone in his custody. It was then covered up, and Ray was demoted. Basically a slap on the wrists, but the incident stuck with him forever.
  
• Lily Bell - maidenofthewest - One would argue staying in Hell on Wheels was an unwise decision, but Lily insists she knows what she's doing.
  
• Zoë Washburne - someonetocarryyou - She's refusing to answer this question, instead pointing out the other people on her crew and how often she's the one to unstupefy their stupid decisions. *hands*
  
• Regina Mills - happilyneverafter - You see, there was this curse, right?
  

[gorgonfondness]

This makes me wish I still played Homestar so that I can just point to him.

Mia: Probably just being slow on the uptake when she was 16 in general. If she had just stopped to think about it and acted sooner, her mother wouldn't have spent months being tortured, she would've caught on to Ghaleon's plans before Alex and co. had to tell her, and she would've been able to stop Nash's traitorous deeds. But if all of that happened, we wouldn't really have a game.

Lucas: There's a point when Lucas and co. get to a needle before the Pigmask Army. However, instead of going over there and pulling the damn needle first, they allow the Pigmask Army to do their little fanfare red carpet thing for the Masked Man and he pulls it right in front of them. WHAT.

Lohengrin: In his opinion? Falling in love. That's just going to mess everything up for him. But that's up there with letting it get to the point that Siegfried has to shatter his own heart, though that's more Prince-stupid than Knight-stupid if you ask him.

[fairytaleknight]

Both of those are stupid. Also? Letting the Raven defeat you? Stupid.

Trying to shatter SiegfriedMytho's heart again may have been Fakir's second-stupidest action.

The stupidest was that time that six-year-old Fakir tried to be a hero and got lots of people, including both of his parents, killed. It's hard to beat that one.

[inlovewithwords]

Ahahahahaha.

Tavi: First two pages of the series, at fifteen years old: volunteering to pick flowers for a girl who didn't even like him.

Lois: Current time: the many minor infractions, ending in a drinking one and being framed for murder (and then nearly murdered herself) that got her kicked out of Metropolis University. By end of canon: nearly gave Zod the means to end the world.

[psyched_you_out]

... ahahah where do I start.

Arguably, Shawn's biggest Stupid Move was lying about being a psychic in the first place, though that hasn't come back to bite him in the ass too badly. (Though it's probably only a matter of time. :P) More recently and specifically, it would either be getting roped into a fake think tank run by a would-be assassin, or accidentally outing someone from federal witness protection. (He... kind of had a run of epically bad decisions in season four. :P)

And Fry... well, it's hard to beat accidentally becoming your own grandfather.

[hey35andholding]

For Fry: I'd count making it with that radiator. Because. OW.

[thequietblack]

Orion's biggest Stupid is...... Walburga.

[gavin62truck]

One word: Sheila.

[mnt_mike]

Mike: "Letting Mel leave."
Raph: He'd never say it out loud, but there was that one time he nearly killed his entire family...
Splinter: I would say his biggest mistake is making his sons into weapons of revenge, but...he wouldn't see it that way.

Aang: "Running away."
Bumi: "If I'm still breathing, it means I haven't made my biggest mistake yet."

The Loompas: Trusting the Wonka.

[cameoflage]

Aradia was the first to take revenge, in the FLARP maim-a-thon. She was very angry about Vriska trying to murder her best friend, and with the encouragement of the ghostly voices in her head, she sicced the ghosts of Vriska's past victims on her.

Vriska retaliated by mind-controlling Aradia's boyfriend (quadrant uncertain) into killing her. Sometimes you just can't win.

This might have been part of the voices' plan, but on Aradia's part... it was a noble gesture, but pretty much completely futile. Vriska didn't even care about killing her, although at an earlier point she seemed kind of upset about how dead!Aradia didn't give a damn about her.

[hey35andholding]

AHAH:

Clementine is basically the Goddess of Bad Choices. She's done everything from drive drunk and steal a perp's pot on camera to instructing teenagers in the art of cursing someone through dark magic to accruing a massive amount of student loan debt to selling nude photos of herself online with her face fully visible. She believes far true strongly in fate and karma, which causes her to utter this aloud.

Dixie would say marrying Doc, because her time with him was wasted time in nearly every respect; the best thing he did for her was hook her up with other gang contacts, which she ultimately used to aid those on the side of goodness.

Juliet: Getting kidnapped by Yin. She still blames herself for that one.

Pinkie Pie: Pinkie's repeatedly incited chaos without showing too much regret (what happened on Nightmare Night and during Gummy's unbirthday party, for instance) and even when she feels bad, she shakes it off by laughing at her own foibles. I think she'd say her biggest stupid moves involve hurting others, chiefly being unable to get Cranky to forgive her.

[gavin62truck]

No wonder Tommy and Clem get along so well. XD
