Gives ya wrong impressions. Oh, totally. We watched (well, I really dislike violent movies, so I read a summary) a movie about...the 3rd crusade? The one with Saladin, the one guy in all eight and a half crusades who had a brain. Regardless, it was full of historical inaccuracies and other weird stuff, such as an untrained blacksmith (who I think was also either completely added in or was butchered by the movie) being able to survive a shipwreck then defeat a mounted, trained muslim knight directly after that. Among other bad decisions. 8 minutes ago, AnonymousSpeed said: The world is full of degenerates whose company is more a burden than anything else, but that makes those few decent friends all the more precious. In this miserable world where you have no allies and are beset by enemies on all sides, don't you at least want a friend? Yeah, I'm with anon on this one; no person is an island, y'know? It can be hard to get along, but just being totally alone is not good for mental health. Speaking from experience. And this reminds me of this gem of a song by Simon and Garfunkel. Truly a classic.

TheSilentChloey Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm mildly disappointed no one found something to write about from mine lol.

I'm pretty happy, honestly. In fact, I've not been better mentally. The pandemic and all aside, that is. But that's nothing to do with being alone. 8 hours ago, SoulWeaver said: I mean, I get it, but at the same time, what do you even strive for if not human connection and love, if not in this life then the next? To make a career out of designing and use my earnings to travel the country. I can do that by myself, I don't need friends. And if I want any kind of companionship, I'll get a dog I can travel with. Animals are far better than people. Your pet doesn't judge or argue or anything. They love you no matter what. They're just grateful that you're there for them.

Azure the Scale Tipper Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 So, it’s been around 24 hours. I made enough progress to where the climax of my piece is the next thing I write. After that will be an ending scene I would have made more progress on if I made the time to make this progress earlier. I might also go to others to see what must be revised and the like all the while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure the Scale Tipper Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think the sheer length of the show (Naruto + Shippuden) would be a bit much for me right now, even without any filler. I’m also more interested in watching things like JoJo and some other anime on my list, too. I need to update that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Sakura. I don't actually entirely remember all of why I don't like them, but I do recall the former being too dark and edgy for my liking and Sakura just being annoying. I liked Naruto himself, and Kakashi. That was it. I didn't watch much though, so maybe if I had, I would've disliked certain characters less, but the show just didn't give much of a first impression on me and I don't care to see anymore of it.

Hey look I’m just saying Sasuke’s entire character arc revolves around cutting off his bonds to gain strength. He feels friendship is nothing more than a weakness and would rather be alone. Because he’s been shown time and time again that making connections with others will only end in failure and more pain which sounds eerily similar to certain things you’ve said recently.

Fine, but you have to remember that this is a TV show. Just because he failed doesn't mean I will. I've been succeeding alone so far, in fact. Making great progress on my graphics communications degree which I've done all on my own. I did have trouble finding a good job that wouldn't have to quit for whatever reason, but I have one now, and though it was due in part to my mom's assistance, she pretty much only did what I would've done anyway. And besides that, that was my mom, not any friend. Family is a bit of a different thing for me. And not every person gets married and has a group of friends anyway. My Aunt Karen doesn't. She's single and just has her small dog and family members, generally. Edited August 30, 2020 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't invest your sense of self worth in mortal men but don't throw them away entirely. 2 hours ago, Azure loves his Half Elves said: So, it’s been around 24 hours.

I mean, if you watch Naruto and somehow don't like Kakashi, there's just something wrong with you, so you liking him was a given anyways. I haven't touched a single episode of the show and I think that dude's beast. Sakura gets a pass because she's voiced by Lissa. Who also voices best girl Fuuko. And surprisingly Serra, apparently.

Y'all watchin' too much anime that's what be fillin' your heads with all these silly ideas. Not particularly actually, they're more people I know (unless it's the Grima fics and yeah, I'm more noticeable there and maybe the two where I really go into past things), or characters I've had for a while (Yuganna lol) or the obvious Awakening ones in Caleb (essentially Male Robin). But that said I can see some of it being a bit off putting at times. Though I would have thought that some of them would be fun to do is all. Especially since I had a lot of antics in the vampire round and threw in some fun little Easter eggs to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure the Scale Tipper Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Update. It is done. I hope to make an unofficial official expansion to this some time in the future.
