At 100 brushstrokes worth of mascara, or even 50, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep my eyelids open.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

100 brush strokes! Even fifty?! More like three, if I miss a spot or lose an eyelash.
My face hurts. My sinuses are stuffy, they are just aching. I think I can blame it on the whiplash weather. It feels like someone is attacking them with steel wool.

When I wear mascara, it's got to be less than 10 strokes altogether.
50-100 -that's CRAXY!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe the more brushstrokes one uses, the more likely one will answer surveys about mascara?

Maybe they all have thin sad little eyelashes, whereas mine are fluffy and large even without the mascara?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've got stubby little eyelashes, and not at all fluffy, so ....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I dunno. I have fairly thin and sad little eyelashes, and I think I may possibly, once, have gone as high as 6 brushes per eye. Once. And regretted it almost instantly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It takes me three strokes to feel I've covered every lash on each eye.
Okay, my body is fucking with me. I was putting on my shoes this morning, the right shoes for this outfit, and the left shoe didn't fit, although it had a couple weeks ago. I inspect my feet, and the left foot is swollen. Upon reflection, I realised that it was hurting too. Checking my ankle revealed it was sore too.
I haven't kicked anything with the top of my foot in over a week, nor kicked anything at all since Saturday. Or banged it, I don't think. But now even the comfy shoes hurt more than they did yesterday, despite driving in with the foot on the dashboard.
