[Destinyfailhorror17]

I just read the job list ionn the op in the occ there is a tee party cloth shop and job for a model eh?...Bride gonna get that part time job XD

[Hexaflexagon]

You know I think I may be a kind of a horrible person because whenever I was reading Jonathan's struggle in his mind, I was always humming a tune in my head whenever his shadow spoke and I couldn't but a finger on where it was from until now. A song from the one and only Randy Newman about a boy called Davy. And I think I know maybe its how that narrator in that song has many distinct and somewhat creepy parallels to Jonathan's shadow. Or I'm just crazy and drawing parallels in a way that conspiracy theorists is crazy in their drawing of parallels probably that one. XD

@Hexaflexagon

None of that "song" fits Johnathan's character... And not only that but from the mouth of that ear retching dumbass randy newman? Sorry but i find that your attempted and ridiculous "parallels" of thought are entirely and completely wrong.

[Hexaflexagon]

None of that even fits anything at all concerning Johnathan's character... And not only that but from the mouth of that ear retching dumbass randy newman? Sorry but, i find that your attempted and ridiculous "parallels" of thought are entirely and completely wrong.

@Happy Go Lucky

As I said it was me just doing me thing and thinking out loud. I was not implying anything and that was how my brain was moving at the time. I'm sorry if I offended you or anything for that was not my intention. If you would prefer I shall remove the post and replace it with a funny picture.

@Hexaflexagon

I put a lot of effort into designing and creating my characters and i do not like it when people completely misinterprete my character for something completely different. Im afraid you insulted my work and honestly, its more than a LITTLE upsetting. I really dislike it when people are oblivious to a characters personality and backstory and are instead belittled and spat on with terrible comments like that. Seriously? You're comparing my character to a shit piece of nails on chalkboard rubbish like that? Is that how you percieve my character?

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Hey I know its not my trouble but lets calm down for a second okay?

@Destinyfailhorror17

Not until i get an explanation on how this clueless rper thinks a boy watching his own alcoholic, spiteful mother die infront of him, his father abusing and beating the shit out of him for being gay and kicking him out of the house, being abused and used by the only friends he ever had and being raped by the one person he loved is somehow connected to an old terrible screeching voice groaning about some fat kid dancing?

What the ever loving christ? How does that connect at all? Its one of the most stupid and brainless comparisons ive ever seen on an rp.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Well first the way you are saying it seems a bit harsh, we never really to the fill backsotry of Johnathan until a few days back ad that was still pretty unsure well for me sorry. Let the person explain first why and just don't let out the harsh words come out, Blu wouldn't want that at the moment. ANdt there that term clueless, everyone had their pown thoughts on things and sometimes they don't compute at all.

@Destinyfailhorror17

Oh but come on. You atleast got the basic idea when you read it, This other rper missed it by a mile, missed the net, hit someone in the face and rebounded the ball into the vastness of space, he was that off.

Its a SPECIAL type of clueless.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Again people think differently and Hex even apologised as well. It was not his intention like she/he said to be it was just a thought that Hex had. Once a while we perceive thing really differently I know how that feels because I am honestly I am stupid person when it comes to real life. Relaly stupid....like really and so I can understand some reasons to think a bad backstory(bad meaning like the feeling and the pain jonhatan was going through) would be something funny...becuase i had the same situation s well..with real people and that is bad. HTought come and go remember that

[Hexaflexagon]

Nobody needs to go defend anybody or create more arguments. You can read what you want to read below or not but its the last I'm going to say and if you prefer it will be the last thing I say in the RP and I will leave forever. I was originally going to send this as a PM but you know what I'd rather just have it out in the open. Anybody can read it and this is all I'm going to say on the manner, as I try to explain my point of view a little bit. Warning some of the stuff gets personal about my life but its all in the past really so its no real big deal to me.

Listen, I’m not trying to get into a fight on the internet about something. That never ends well for anybody and so I’m writing this and then I'm not going to say anything more, for I do not want to fill the OCC with hate. So can you let me explain myself just once and after that you can hate me forever. I understand completely where you are coming form in the creation of your characters and wanting other people to treat those ideas with respect. That’s something that is perfectly natural, hell that’s what most creative people wish to happen. But I didn't not understand your character and the background, I just like in Roleplays like in real stories to try and sometimes look at things from a different angle. I’m not trying to offend or depriving anything the only reason it came to mind was because the song is a song wrought with an odd sort of blunt cynicism that makes you think about stuff, anything. I at the time since I was trying to write up a post was thinking of the RP as I do from time to time. When I was talking about the narrator and the Shadow it was more about shadows in general and how they use their hosts emotional instabilities to try and manipulate them. You could change the name of Davy to any person with any problem and the message is still the same. How people manipulate and use others. Hell that’s why I first liked the Persona series because as a man that has spent a lot of time studying human psychology this idea of how our own psyche would react to us is fascinating to me. It’s partly what I do now as a Computer Scientist working with research institutes to develop smarter AI that can simulate these interaction with our psyche. So that comment was less about even Jonathan but more about characters and interactions with their shadows in general, I just happened to reread one of your posts, which I love by the way your writing is fabulous and that’s why Jonathan came to mind.

And if it is the song that bothers you more and the insensitivity it displays towards some people, then you have to hear me out on this one that was not my intention to anger you either. Actually in a lot of ways growing up I guess I could relate to Jonathan as a character and I appreciate somebody like you having the balls to write a character like that, somebody that I kind of knew what they were going through. I grew up the fifth child in a north eastern home in the united states, my parents were busy a lot of time and my siblings were always older so they had friends. So there was only me and comic books, television and video games really. I grew up with two disabilities having a pronounced stutter and dysgraphia because of this and my own shyness I was not able to make a lot of friends, only a small smattering. Four, Five really anyone else I tried to become friends with just either forgot about me, stop talking to me or were really just bullies that wanted to make me want to go kill myself. Kids where the worst, they would make fun of the way I walked, because I was fatter than them, because I was taller than them, because I would have to repeat my words over and over again in a sentence just to be able to get out my thoughts. Eventually I tried to kill myself several times and still have the scars to prove it because of how lost and alone I felt. And how I desperately wanted to be this big hero type that you see in the video games and comic books. Eventually though through some goods friends I’m clean, sober, not morbidly obese anymore and got really into bodybuilding, but the pain of the past still stays there. And so that loneliness, but that idea of being able to stay strong that you are able to portray through Jonathan, that’s something I envy in him because I kind of know that loneliness or I did for a real long time and sometimes it is really hard to push past it all and stay standing like he does I’m not in any way trying to devalue your character in anyway, actually I wish their were more characters like him in fiction and video games, for more kids like I was when I was little to be able to look up to. Somebody that was like them and not a six foot tall hunk of man meet.
And if it really all just stems down to Randy Newmen. Well I can’t do much about that really anyway, I can’t change people’s tastes but I can tell you where my taste for him came from. My father one of my only friends I really had growing up kind of like Jonathan with his mother was a blues musician you see? More specifically he was a blues pianist and he played New Orleans style blues and to help me focus on something else beside the loneliness and the pain he taught me how to play. How did he do that? Mostly through listening to other great musicians in the genre play. Because he never learned to play sheet music he did it all by ear and that is how he taught me. And while I understand some people don’t like Randy and that is fine he one of the bona fide masters of New Orleans style of blues piano playing. So I’ve grown up listening to him and he reminds me of that special fire inside my heart that my dad helped plant. My dad is dead now but through the piano and people like Randy, he still lives in me you know?

So I’m sorry, you have to understand that my comment was in no way shape or form an attack or a dis judgment of your writing or your character. It was me musing about the human condition as I do through fiction sometimes. And you have full ability to be angry and take pride in your work. So if you really can’t forgive me or just don’t want to talk to me it’s fine, I’ll even step out of the RP for you if it makes you easier. But I hope by sharing my own stories, the things that drive me as a person well I hope it helps you see that I’m not some monster trying to take a shit upon your work. But hey whatever happens, happens right?

[Happy Go Lucky]

Wow.... I... Didnt expect that... I dont want you to leave the rp... Honestly now i just feel like a massive dick... Sorry...

[GreenGoat]

well, i just posted and i have no idea what the butt just happened, so imma go get a drink and be drunk somewhere.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

I am sorry to scything on this argument or thing was on you two I shouldn't have said anything -bows head- I don't like when things might end up bad for real sorry -bowsa head again-

[Hexaflexagon]

@GreenGoat
Nope nothing to see here just move along with your day. XD

@Destinyfailhorror17
No, no its totally fine. Trying to help is a good thing more people should try to help sometimes might make some of the worlds go away quicker you know?

Wow.... I... Didnt expect that... I dont want you to leave the rp... Honestly now i just feel like a massive dick... Sorry...

@Happy Go Lucky

Dude honestly it's fine, I really don't mind. As I said there is no need for drama to occur over the internet let bygones be bygones you know? I ain't the type to hold a grudge. Life's all too short for that kind of shit. Or as the great philosophers on the boondocks once said.

Ah, but I forgive her and all the people around her.
Boys, there's great power in forgiveness, self-sacrifice, and thinking of yourself last.
First plan, you keep her alive long enough to make sure we in the will.
Plan "B", she dies, you break out the tape and pitch the show.
We threaten to go public and show America we're the only ones who care! Mmm-hmm.
Seriously, what other men in her life would have done that? You keep forgetting I just met this chick.
And may we one day get to a world where no porcelain goddess feels the need to pump up her beautiful ironing-board-flat ass to airbag-sized proportions just to attract some five-time baby-daddy bad-free-throwing ni** athlete.
