The Ideas Topic

The way I see it is, you're allowed to have your opinion, as long as you don't complain at me for having mine. At that point, I will verbally (or in this case, textually) tear you apart. If it doesn't affect me, I have no reason to give a crap what your opinion is, because how would I know? And even so, why should it bother me?

That's how I see it to, but some people tend to say something that has no effect on anybody, then it turns into a fight after thirty seconds of commentary

But that's because people are stupid, and Americans, from my experience, tend to be incredibly oversensitive about everything.

Ethnocentrism and egoism. Couple in arrogance and close-mindedness, you have the good ol' US of A. Makes me want to go live in Switzerland. Or Ireland.

I plan on just heading of the UK once I'm out of college, anywhere that's calm and not fully of insanity

Zelda, you just summed up my thoughts on people in general. People. Are assholes. And need to be set on fire. I apologize if I sound insane, it's only because I am.

We're all crazy to some degree

Especially everyone on here is crazy in some way or another.
Me-I enjoy the darker side of things
Haar-seems to have a natural apathy towards a lot of things, nearly everything for that matter
KhFreak-Absolutely paranoid at times.

Can't really figure out the others...

I'd say I have all those qualities, I'm just not as forward with them. For example, I suspected that Doc was actually Sammy at first. He has since proven himself to be far superior, because he improved. And he improved FAST.

But, really, forgetting the positive side of things is bad, too. Writing everybody off as stupid gets you nowhere. Everything has a balance to it... there is no safe extreme.

Basically, I keep my insanity in check. I need the wellspring of creativity it brings, but I can't afford to let everything descend into chaos. If I tried to implement all my ideas as soon as I thought of them, I'd have a sh*tty story. Some elements just need to be timed right, some need refining before they're ready. In fact, look at Vita. I've thought up a lot about her character (Org.XIV exclusive character so far, in case you're confused) but you guys don't know much about her. If I expected you all to take her seriously from the start, then she would come off as rushed and shoehorned.

I do have a very dark sense of humor. Example: in Tales of the Abyss

Spoiler:

My first reaction to that? I laughed. I did the same thing when I saw a picture of someone with a large chunk of their foot hanging off. I'm talking everything under their big toe, which looked like it was stuck on like a glove. I really hope none of you are eating right now.


I'm also prone to take things at face value. I see someone throw garbage over their shoulder, miss the garbage can, and not go to pick it up, I think, "Damn, you're an asshole." They could be a very nice person, but from just that, I'd be determined to dislike them for 1) being cocky enough to try and throw something in the garbage over their shoulder, and 2) just leaving it there.

Another example, in Economics class this one time, the teacher was talking about trade, and asking what different ways people could negotiate how to get goods. People suggested various things, and he said, "Or the American way, which is...?" My response? Steal it. My second response? Sue for it.

I understand that most people don't do that, but it's only the people who do that that you actually hear about, so my mind doesn't process the knowledge that most of them are okay.


TL;DR: Not a fan of people who don't come off the right way to me. Dark humor.

So is the TITAL version of FGA good?

I naturally work on everything and everybody in my sight to keep myself from thinking of my exes because I'm emotionally connected to literally almost everybody I've dated, to the point that I have to avoid any contact outside verbal or text based format. So...yeah there that...also I don't trust anyone right away, not even if we've been friends for years, I can't tell of your wanting anything out of it or not....amd I lie from time to time depending on who.I'm talking to.... Oh and I act totally on impulse and sometimes let a more...loner, without shame side slip into my persona while I'm around people I don't take to.

At times? You wound me. Anyway, you're not wrong there. I embrace paranoia. Keeps me from doing stupid sh*t. It can also cause me to do stupid sh*t. Now, where'd I put my bulletproof jackhammer....

Didn't want to be offensive, and honestly I could throw out a few more, but I won't, because I'm trying to be nice and keep all of my collective hatred inside at the moment and not just flip out.

Fair enough.

Yeah, see, there's the thing I have trouble with. Remember how I can go completely off on a tangent and rant/tirade about some things? It's not exactly prepared (sorry KH), but it's whatever's bugging me at the moment. It's the internet, sorry if I use it for venting.

..."TITAL version of FGA", Doc? Are you asking if it's a good idea to do the same thing on TITAL, or if the version of it on TITAL is good? Because there is no FGA outside of Org.XIV.

Same thing different name

It's not a super terrible idea... Interesting at the least...
Also, I have one of my own which I'm doing regardless of whether or not anyone else decides to go along with it.
This Friday at 6am. I'm going to open a topic. Every hour from then on until 6am Saturday, I'm going to post a short story or fic involving anything that I've written thus far inspired by music that I'll have on shuffle. If a song sparks an idea then I'll write about it and post it for an entire day. This is mainly because it'll be the one day that I'll have for a while to devote to the forum. And of course, while I'm posting those shorts I'll be involved in everything else here on the forum during that day too. Anyone else interested in my endeavors?

I'm interested... a bit lacking in creative energy at the moment, but I'm sure that one I've got the music playing, I'll get the ol' brainjuice flowing! ...That is, if you meant that other people would be doing it themselves a bit, after you've done yours all day.

And by "everything", I hope you don't mean that TOO literally. I don't want to see Zane's Sex Chronicles making a return.

LMAO... No, That'll only happen if one of you makes a post in it first. XD
But, either on that same day, or at another time when they have a full 24 hours to devote. Either way works really. But, the topic goes up on Friday either way.

So I can do it, I just need a name...

And some scenarios.

I might be able to do something. Probably not the day it goes up, due to a lack of time thanks to school and I'll probably be going out to eat since that happens to be my birthday.

I'll not have 24 hours to devote to it, but I'll give it a go. So basically one short story or fanfic per hour based on old stories/music inspiration? Sounds gucchi.

T-twenty-four hours straight!? When would I find the time for that!? Holy cow, I don't think I'm going to have any days without any prior committments for a long, long time, and even if I did, I just know I'd be taken away from it for one thing or another, even just to get me away from the computer! Crap... I'd love to do it, don't get me wrong, but I don't have large enough blocks of time to give up.
