shinigamiinochi

I'm at a point in a story where I need to introduce my quintessential 'evil' character. I have already mentioned that this person is evil, but now he is actually making an appearance. how exactly should I introduce an evil character as someone that must invoke fear, even though at the time he hasn't done anything evil? Or rather, how does one introduce someone like this in a H.P. Lovecraftian tone instead of something that sounds like it came out of a bad marvel comic? How do all of you introduce your villains, if you have one?

rant, political statement, same thing.

Eh, when my cousin decided that he couldn't take living at home anymore, he moved to Japan. now THAT'S commitment.

I have hypothyroidism, so I can't have anything with caffeine, but my favorite drink is a cold glass of root beer.

Ironically, my Japanese Aunt in law loves both my American cousin and his american/japanese daughter while my family is being evil and racist about it. It's so embarassing.

My cousin was raped by his dad when he was a little kid. Several years later, he discovered that he was gay and broke up with his girlfriend. She stalked him and raped him to try to 'turn him straight again.' He says that the latter experience was much more traumatic because whenever he told anyone, they would laugh at him.

Rant one response: 3,000 children a year become homeless in America alone. People are adopting chinese babies, which is great, but we have plenty of kids at home that need some love and care. The problem is that parents want babies, not kids, so instead of adopting a seven year old american in need of a home, they adopt chinese babies, which sickens me. It's not bad to want to help others, but we should be trying to fix our own home before concentrating on another. No one realizes just how hard it is to get and keep a job. If you don't have a job, you're lazy or incompetant, and that view is crap. Face it, our ways of dealing with the homeless are bullshit. Most people view the situation as the homeless' faults simply because they don't want to spend the effort to help them, so they shift the blame on the victims, kind of like guys saying that girls with their short clothing are asking to be raped. Doesn't make much sense. "Well, if I give this guy money, he's just gonna spend it on booze." First off, that's a pretty severe generalization. You're depriving a human being of a way to get food on a stereotype? That's cruel. Also, what were you go going to spend those few bucks on? Even if the person is using it to get drugs or booze, that's none of your business. Rant two: women constantly want equality, but try to make more and be better than a man. that's not equality, that's favoritism. My friends constantly get mad at me when I don't immediately take the woman's side in a rape discussion. Yes, rape is terrible, but just because a woman says that she was raped, doesn't mean that she's telling the truth. Also, why is it that when a woman gets raped, it's terrible, but when a man gets raped by a woman, it's either a big joke or 'impossible'? Rape is evil no matter who it is happening to, man or woman. Same thing with sexual harassment. Yes, men can be sexually obsessed, but that's irrelevant, a guy can be sexually harassed just as badly as a woman, and that whole 'guys only think about sex' is a stereotype that's just as bad as saying that all women are sluts. Rant Three: I think PETA's ideals are wonderful, but they do go way too far with them. You should treat animals with respect and animal cruelty is disgusting, but do they not realize that some breeds of animals literally can't survive on their own? Certain dogs and cats can survive in the wild, but others were bred to be incapable of living without human assistance. It's sad, but true. I also don't believe that eating meat is wrong and that a lot of the things they say to promote vegetarianism are stupid. I also believe that fur is murder, but that whole splashing people with blood is little gruesome and I don't think that they're any better than the fur wearers by doing that. So, I guess it's safe to say that I agree with you on all points and you do have some really good opinions on things.

Exactly, the modern definition, as in the definition that counts in our times. I'm not complaining that it's not a religion, that statement was made as an offhand joke, but the definition of religion that I gave is one that comes right out of the dictionary and while text books are often wrong, it was simply listing religions that are recognized. It doesn't really matter if atheism is literaly a religion, it is still a legitimate belief. I was simply replying to several people, in this thread and in real life, that state that science is not a system of beliefs, which doesn't make any sense to me. Also, it remains that you do not have to believe in a supreme being to have religion, it's just that the major religions feel that way. Religion, simply, is a way to explain thingst that we humans don't know through a system of beliefs. Shinahism is a belief that the world is comprised of spiritual energy and nothing exists outside of intellectual experience, there is no mention of a supreme being, but it is still a religion.

actually, the definition of religion is just a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, therefore, my belief that the universe has nothing to do with any supreme being IS a religion. Atheism is even listed as a religion in several of the philosophical text books I've been forced to study this semester.

"We KNOW nothing, only that we are experiencing, but what we are experiencing could be lie, but even that is impossible to KNOW." Sorry, taking a philosophical class and we've been talking about religion and knowledge for the last month.

*hugs her biology and psychology text books and curls into the fetal position* leave me alooone, I don't wanna go to church mommy... sniff. Atheism is a religion, goddamn it! Belief in the physical world through science is also a religion. I mean, the reason why I act so weird and don't try to hesitate my weird impulses is because I believe that life is the last chance I'm gonna get to do those things. Technically, everything is rooted in science, even religious belief, so it's easier for me to believe in it. That, and it makes more sense to me. Not to put anyone down, it's just, for me, I'm a very science based thinker, I need to know why and how with something that has fact to back it up.

Fuck labels, man! People put way too much stock on defining their sexuality. Before middle school, I thought I was hetero, then in middle school and half of high school, I thought I was bi, the other half of high school, I got so confused with myself that I just said, fuck it, I give up! Then, I got to college, and I started to realize that I was gay, which is how I see myself know, but I still hesitate to label myself as that since it could change. I base my sexuality on the fact that real life guys gross me out, but I constantly write yaoi, so I really don't know what's wrong with me. My cousin considered himself asexual until he met his best friend/now husband and realized that he liked guys. My sis is definitely straight, though I don't know if that's really true, or she's too much of a conservative to look inside of herself. It remains that I have only one straight friend. One of my friends defined herself as straight, but then she met a girl that she got a crush on and got really confused. I maintain that she was always bi because she would practically drool at certain actresses when we watched movies, but once again, labels are insufficient. My friends are my friends. Labels do help to simplify things, but I think that people who think that you can only be straight or gay are in denial. My cousin, Rebecca, is asexual, and I'm not kidding. Sex grosses her out and she's twenty seven, so I don't think that that's going to change any time soon. My dwelling on labels gives me a headache.

too much to name, I love ribs most of all, though and japanese food (minus sushi cause I can't eat it) is also great. I would murder for my cousin's apple pie. I am also a noodle and rice whore.

That's right up there with something that happens in the yaoi community that drives me insane. An author will turn one of the boys into a chick and make them have sex. This makes me feel like the author is grossed out by two guys doing it and has to make it het in order to have the pairing. They're guys, leave them alone!

i've been using 'shinigamiinochi' since I was old enough to use a computer. There are actually two explanations; fandom and literal. Fandom wise, shinigami comes from Gundam Wing and Inochi is a character from Scar Tissue, another awesome anime (he's also the reason why I told my friend that her theory that all silver haired anime characters are evil, is wrong), while Inochi is not my favorite character, the literal meaning of my name sold it for me. It is this: Shinigami= Death Inochi= Life Together: Death+Life= Existence It's just one of those existential, philosophical, spiritual type things and it is also my philosophy. I believe that there can never be dark without light, light without dark. Existence is not just about how happy you are or how great your life is, it is also about death and all that has come before, darkness is equally important. Then there's also the point that only my friends can spell it. Keeps the riff raff at bay. If you can't spell my name, I don't know you.

Well, my older sister and I hate each other, my dad spends all of his time in the basement not talking or coexisting with the rest of us, my mom hates me and is never afraid to tell me all of the things that are disgusting about me, and the only times that my parents are together is when they're fighting. I am deeply shocked that they never got a divorce. For most of my life, they had been contemplating it, and my least favorite phrase that I remember as a kid is "the only reason why we're together is because of you kids". Gee, mom, thanks, I feel soooo much better. I dread going home. Don't get me wrong, I do love my family, but it's a love/hate relationship. The only person in my family that I really get along with is my cousin, Fu. However, a lot of bad memories circle around him, so while we're like brother and sister, our conversations can get really dark. I don't blame you for hesitating to be around your family. I mean, the happiest I am is that first night that I come back home from college, after that, it's hell. "65% of American families are disfunctional" Are you normal? Statistically, yes. I don't believe in normal though, are you realistic in your feelings? Yep. I'm actually sort of grateful for my family, since my cousin's life reads like a soap opera. It's selfish, but I like having someone around who's stories of family life are much darker than mine. I mean, no one in my home life has mental disorders, so I feel like I don't have a right to complain. You have every right to fear going home, I have the same fear, even when there is nothing really wrong with my life.

It doesn't take all that much for me. I guess I'm perverted that way. I'm into psychology, but I still can't figure out why hentai gets me all hot and bothered and porn grosses me out.

In livejournal fandoms: I'm part of a Supernatural fandom and everyone seems to hate Jo for loving Dean, and every time that I poke my head up and say that I really like her character, I get yelled at! I was also accused of being guilty of bashing Relena from Gundam Wing just because I didn't want to pair her up with heero. No, I bash her because of the ideals and actions she preaches in the series. i am also sick of all of the 'please write 2x1 in this fic' when I've said hundreds of times that I won't do it.

my cousin's bipolar and when he's in his depression mode, he does really self destructive things. He hasn't cut in awhile, but we're always careful so he doesn't go into a downward spiral. We understand that it's not just him trying to hurt himself, but also because controlling pain and letting out anger makes him feel better. So, when he storms into the house and throws his cellphone into a wall, we don't complain about it, it's just his way. I don't think that cutting makes you crazy. It's more sane to find an outlet than to bottle everything up inside. I also know a girl who is a cutter, but she's not depressed, she just likes the way it looks and has a high tolerance for pain. She constantly says that she'll stop when she's old enough to get a tattoo. My arms are sliced up from getting a cat out of a barbed wire fence and everyone assumed that I was a cutter and depressed. What's annoying is that no one believes you and how they treat you like you're a bomb about to go off. I have social anxiety disorder (which is why my friends are shocked that I post so much on this site when I don't talk in the real world) and medication and therapy doesn't help. Of course, this fucks around with my life all the time and I don't understand how people with more severe disabilities cope. The anxiety gets so much sometimes I just want to bang my head against the wall to see if that will fix whatever's wrong with my brain. I'm just glad I'm adopted, 'cause the people on my mom's side have a looooooong history of mental disorders.

personality: must be mature and open minded. Smart, but not a know it all. Someone who has seen the world and understands how the real world works. Very down to earth, reliable, and independent. gender: has to be a girl looks: I'm not huge on it. I know that that's cliched, but its true. I have found my soul mate, unfortunately, she's an anime character, but if I could find a girl like this in the real world, I'd be reduced to a puddle of goo. Of course, it doesn't help that school girl uniforms, huge swords, long legs, and japanese girls turn me on. Yep, Kanu unchou from Battle Vixens, if I ever found someone with her personality, I could die happily. Unfortunately, I have yet to find someone in this country that isn't immature or close minded. sigh, I'm pathetic

it reminds me of the simpson's episode where Doctor Hibert jiggles Homer's fat and it keep jiggling and jiggling and jiggling... and then there's the X-files spoof where scully makes Homer go on the treadmill and she's like: his jiggling is so hypnotic.

it all depends on my hormones, what fanfics or movies I've read/watched, ect. Sometimes I masturbate only twice a week, sometimes three times in one day. On average, about once every other day. This also depends on what's happening in the dorm and if I think I can't get away with it without anyone knowing unless I'm reeeeally horny, then I say, fuck it, I don't care.

Actually, it's my American family that is saying that my cousin's half japanese three year old daughter is not part of our family because she's japanese. It's really sick.

My cousin's dog is half wolf half siberrian husky. This dog is the size of a pony, no exaggeration. When I first saw her, I freaked out. Then, she walked into a door. She's not so much blind as dumb, but I love her. She pushed my older sister into the pool. When Inoue was a baby, my mom, who was babysitting her, turned her back while they were outside and Innie started to crawl towards the street. Naoki, the dog, picked her up and put her back on the grass. Naoki also, whenever she sees her daddy, seems to think that she is a little puppy and tries to make him pick her up. Scientifically, all domestic dogs are puppies. It is a fact that all domestic dog behavior is that of wolf puppies, not adult dogs, so it's safe to say that human intervention has made it impossible for our dogs to ever grow up.

actually, a dog is more likely to start eating you than a cat. A few years ago, this lady had a heart attack, but no one found her body for days and when they did, it turned out that her dog had munched on her intestines.
