OOC Discussion

[Gus]

A villain tho, he let's his own judgements either corrupt his actions...

What else have we got, though, but our own judgements, to go on?


(This is me, mind you, not Aaron. Aaron would nod and wait for another student to pipe up. But, as noted elsewhere, I am an extrovert, and just gotta wade in; I don't even know for sure what I think until I say it out loud.)


Don't we all have to make judgements about what is right and wrong? Who are we to decide what is best? On the other hand, who else COULD decide what is best? The most frightening (and most believable) villains in fiction are those who truly believe what they are doing is best for all. So how do we know we are not becoming that? It is my personal belief that doubt is your best friend. A hero doubts his cause constantly. Always second guessing his own motivations. Always willing to hear another viewpoint. Never, ever sure that he (or she) is right.


And here's the killer rebuttal to my view: That guy never, ever, gets anything done. At some point you have to go with what you have and make a decision. Make a stand. If you are always pondering the whether tos and the whyfores, the real villains (whoever they are) will just roll their tanks right over your indecisive ass. So I am at an impasse. With myself.

Naaaah. That's not so bad. Only means it's time for a new character while I go out with a 'big bang'!

In point of fact, Solo has a plan of last resort if his stability is compromised. He will teleport to Venus. Poof. No more venus, but earth lives on...

Sorry for lack of response so far everyone!


First day back from holiday and everything, got a tiny bit hectic but I think It's smooth sailing for me from here on out!


Expect a reply later today.

But some people really like Venus.... why not Mercury? Nobody likes Mercury.

Sailor Mercury is bae

Too far, no time. Wormholes can't be set up faster than light speed or you violate causality. Maybe mercury if Venus happens to be on the far side of the sun at the time though.

You bring up a valid point.

 

[Gus]

GFDI

NSFW?


Edit: That's what I tell people my profile is when they ask about my Myers Briggs inventory. (If they ask about horoscope, I say ophiuchus.)


I don't know what GFDI might be...

Yeah, doubt IS your friend. You have to keep reflecting on the consequences of your actions!


If you stop reflecting, you lose that pure objective that is the common good :33


I wanted to write that better, but English fails me xD


But what about Ghandi (I hope I wrote that right) then? He didn't HAVE to use his enemies ways of attack to win!


You can't give up on your ways of fighting just because the other said has more fire power, to defeat an enemy with nothing more than your firm resolves, and an enemy who WILL use brute force and WILL kill you if he gets the chance, THAT is true heroism and, that is amazing!


This may sound kinda Utopic and hopeful but, hey, it worked once! Why shouldn't it work again? OWO

Alright. I think that is fair.

Your english is better than my portuguese! <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=" " srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Ghandi is a perfect example, because on the one hand he was this powerful symbol, and on the other he was a deeply flawed man who, among other things, was alleged to have sexually abused young girls in a very cultish way. In some ways, Alexis's off the cuff answer is better than my wordy one… In character thread I tried to acknowledge this by stating that school is notorious for oversimplifying the world in the name of education. And I believe it is justified exactly as Aaron stated: you have to start somewhere.</p>

 

[Suzuki Mine]

Ahaha... I woke up to the OOC being full of rather extreme opinions... o u o;;;


[/hides away her MOBA playing self for her own safety]

 

[Necessity4Fun]

was alleged to have sexually abused young girls in a very cultish way

*gasp!*


I had absolutely NO idea!! Ouch! D:


Welp, I guess I do sound Utopic then~ We would have to change the whole human nature to stuff I believe in to actually happen xD


*shrugs* I'm truly an strange person, and the world makes no sense to me :33


I'm a lost cause Yay!

Ehh, that kinda stuff I can understand, but I've also read the generalizing of a community based on personal experiences in MOBA communities, and while that's cool and all, some of the strong wording used kiiinda makes me feel like I might get judged.


Now, when it comes to the examination of what makes a hero, as well as the actions of individuals who are renown for their humanitarian deeds is something I'm totes fine with~

PORTKEYS! That's what they were called! I had it at the tip of my tongue but I couldn't quite find it.

You don't sound Utopic to me. Humans are complicated, and heroes will almost certainly disappoint you if you look to close. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be the best we can. We may well be all we have, certainly all we can be sure of having, and being good to each other seems to me to be the best possible thing we can strive to do. If that's Utopic… …I don't want to be dystopic?
