It is so akin to that, PaW. Right you are. I am not afraid of the dark if there is a warm bed to hop into, otherwise terrifying. I define death the same way you do, Makaze. Peter Kurten's thoughts prior to his execution, "After my head has been chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from my neck? That would be the pleasure to end all pleasures." There exists simultaneously a morbid curiosity in death, what happens when the lights are turned off? Not what happens after per se, but the feeling of your body going kaput as you die. The murderer's thoughts are perfectly reasonable, relatable, relations with the dregs of humanity.
He was Japanese in a past life. He taught Engrish for some years, also.
He loves spicy foods.
Apathetic in the face of others' miseries? If said other is an unknown, that is. A lack of imagination prohibits much empathising, an inability to...
Those who don't have cheated their biological nature. Yet what other species contemplates death? None to my knowledge, at least none do the way we humans do, and that is, to fear it beyond the innate fight and flight response; to actively contemplate it even when not under imminent danger. Animals will fear it in the face of threat, but for humans it is infinitely more persistent than that. In severe cases, that fear may even debilitate their everyday functioning-- handicap them, corrode their little minds. No other animal fears to such an extent. Those who do not fear death have cheated a cheat. Humans are just a bundle of complexities, aren't they? That said, I do. It is not an ever-present fear, but I acknowledge its presence. There is, however, an ever-present sense of detachment. It is of a bit comfort under simpler terms: now I am here, then I'll be there; leaving the destination undetermined is indeed of a bit comfort, although that relief is short-lived. I admire those who have surpassed their own nature. May I have access to a cheat sheet, please?
The words below his sig contain Greek characters. Perhaps hardly qualifiable, but given my current environment I could not resist.
It is a lovely rendition of Magnus, Erik, lord am I a fangirl. Kid Erik. I chanced upon the French artist on DeviantART. He is a gem, beautifully abstract like that. Well, what else to expect from the French? Where comic books are regarded highly, a ninth art. Makaze stole his sig quote from a friend of mine.
Likes Arthur, the Aadrvark. He looks more like a bear, and I cannot have been the only one as a child who regarded him as such.
And Then There Were None... Picked it up from the bookstore, synopsis was interesting enough. The premise was interesting. But I could not get past the first few chapters, the author's writing style was bland, bored me to tears and not even. The bulk of the story might be decent, but if the writer's style does not agree with me then I will not bother to read it. Now, the film adaptation? I'll consider. If you want a real good thriller, read The Ripliad series. It is hands down the best out there.
He could have been attending a lately deceased relative's funeral, would you have asked him to smile then? Stretch those lips, nasirrich, put those cheeks to use. I'm kidding. Halfly. We should not be expected to portray what we are not, fake smiles and fake gestures. Family photos depress me because they misrepresent, mother encourages smiling so that she can look back at yesterdays and yesteryears with a smile of her own. It's a false comfort, which is... I find, extraordinarily sad. I suppose I'll let her take comfort in such anyways, because the alternative is heartbreaking. In the face of heartbreak, reassurance however pale is preferable.
Forum's Head Troll Most Stubborn Member Most Honest Member I imagine that most Stubborn will be perceived as negative, and will thus be disqualified. Darn.
I presume that most think so, given that most voted for his death. Majority won.
If vampires count, then I believe I have another favorite. This series is very much a guilty pleasure, based off of a soap opera and a soap opera starring a most deprived vampire no less. Sex deprived or blood deprived? At some points, I honestly cannot tell... As for antiheroes, here's a cheer to everyone's (least!) favorite Robin - Jason Todd! But I liked him, despite his angst.
I searched a favorite X-Men villain and was met with this. Many laughs were had. That goofy dance, I don't even... Who are your favorite comic book villains? I am not very well-versed in comic books, though interest has been kindling high for a long while now. Even so, I have a few favorite villains. The Joker is a card, but Magneto trumps still. As for why - the Joker is the Joker, 'nuff said. What's not to love about demented clowns? (see: Hisoka, Kafka, Pennywise) And Magneto is MASTER OF MAGNET. The lines in that game were adorably lame. On a more serious note, I rather like him despite his gawky outfit. I've a soft spot for extremist characters fighting for another group's survival, villainy with good intentions; misguided or not, the sentiment is what matters. The bucket-headed man is highly relatable in his cynicism.
Those three fave YouTube Poops are batshit insane, Sforz. Or maybe I'd forgotten the levels of crazy those videos may reach, I used to be big on poops but it'd been forever since I'd seen one... Here are some old favorites. I personally praefer YTPMVs. Robotnik's Tea Party was of lower quality than I remembered it, but it is a reupload so that is perhaps why. The last I like mostly out of nostalgia, it is an amateur work.

On your first try, did you get her bad ending? I really screwed up, spoiled her endings... too curious, and since I was not heading her way I...
A late thought, but I was surprised that you would go for Hanako. I would think you would go for Lily maybe, since she is a likemind. Mature,...
Thanks. I will.
Watching it, is that all you think to say? Surely there is much more to say than that. That offhand comment irked me, not because you are wrong per se but because you think to say nothing more. When you see a torn individual, you do not think to help mend them - you do not think to empathise with their situation - you only think to call them out on their fucked-upness. That in itself is quite fucked of you. She is a product of her environment. It is not the child you should be scolding, but the parent; consequently, you should judge his guardian; you should judge his environment. However, and this is where it gets tricky; who then do you scold? Causes as far as the [human] eye can see. You could damn the child for screwing her younger brother, damn the father for screwing his daughter, damn the father for his upbringing or for his abnormal brain chemistry. Or is it possible that a perfectly "normal" human being could commit such that would be considered an atrocity? We cause (affect), we are effected. Perhaps I am too hard on you. But you should be aware: that was thoughtless of you.
