She probably is into doujins.

@ Senpai - You know Rosario Vampire? I was planning to make a fic on it.

[demino_hellsin]

Okay then... let's change that. Age's description sounds like Kanzashi if Kanzashi were a fujoshi... (I feel mean for saying that)

[ZeroXSEED]

@ Eras
Yeah, I read the manga a little, not much I'd say.

@ Age
Please don't, you're getting your character a Diabolus Ex Machina there.

[demino_hellsin]

I sense the naruto disease kicking in XD

[Eratas123]

I wonder if writing from the POV from a mentally insane character is hard.

[agetreme]

Nah... I am not that bad..... at the worst, I will only burn his porn stash...

Edit: @Eratas: Depends on the type of insanity you are talking about.

[ZeroXSEED]

@ Eras
I myself find it hard

@ Age

[demino_hellsin]

depends on what kind of insane. Loopy I can do just fine.

[Eratas123]

Disassociative personality disorder. Sees and hears thing nobody else does to repress stuff. Watch "Spec Ops: The Line" for a good example.

[demino_hellsin]

I think that's the type of insanity I do a lot

[Eratas123]

Long story short: The guy there blamed everything bad he did on some kind of malevolent figure and tried to deny it even when he saw the guys already 2 week old dead body. Everything he did, he refused to take responsibility for and blamed on this long dead figure.

Going to watch SPiderman now.

The guy I wrote gained a power. That power grows from his darker emotions and brings them out to full light. All his repressed negative emotions are slowly gushing out and he's trying to deny it all, the need to kill, the want to make his enemies suffer. He says that it's the power trying to take him over but all that it's really doing is forcing him to confront feelings he long stowed away in his closet of skeletons. =))

Spoiler for game of tag:

“Gotcha!!” A young boy with brown hair and eyes shouted while chasing after a red hair boy with an extended arm, trying to touch the boy while the other children sat on the bench to watch. They are supposed to be playing a game of zombie tag but since nobody like the “Zombie” and they are physically tired after hours of playing, they decided to change the rule to a normal tag game where the infected is out of the game.
“NOT FAIR! ZOMBIE CAN’T RUN!” The red hair boy exclaimed.
“BUT I AM A SPECIAL ZOMBIE!”
“NOT FAIR!”
“HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN NOBODY RETURN AS A ZOMBIE!” The brown hair boy glared at the other boys briefly, all of them pretend to be dead.

Is it okay? If it sounds like bullying, it is.

[ZeroXSEED]

definitely bullying, and remind me of Tohru from Fruit Basket.

To put it short, everyone in the clique is using fruit name as title, she was the only one named Onigiri/riceball, hence she was never called during the game.

Do you mean Multiple Personality Disorder (Dissociative identity disorder) or some other disorder?

Because that felt a little off......for DID.....

He have no memory of even being there... how can he blame it on somebody else when he wasn't even there?

Moar Edit: He will be more confused rather than in denial....

Yes, for DID suffer, you can write him as a normal person who just happen to suffer blackout once in a while and get blamed for something which he did not do (but did in his second personality)

Edit: It sounds more like Schizophrenia to me.....

Delusion and hallucinations are part of the Symptoms

[Eratas123]

@ Treme - Here's the game events: The guy wanted to be a hero and to do that he needed to move forward. To move forward, he needed to fire White Phosphorous Mortars. Later on he finds that the Mortars accidentally burned people (Innocent Civilians he was sent to rescue even) and that their deaths were unnecessary if not for the fact that he wanted to keep going.

Later on he picks a clearly damaged radio, but in his eyes, it looked like a pristine one and he heard the voice of his old General telling him that he "tricked" him into setting off the bombs and that all the things he did by accident (Destroying water supplies, killing well meaning soldiers, possibly dooming the entire city etc etc) were all parts of the General's "Evil Plan".

When he sees the General's long dead body, he's forced to come to terms with the fact that he's not some kind of suffering hero who's fighting against an evil General: He's a man who refused to take responsibility and deluded himself to divert the blame to someone else.

Spoiler for Really stupid plot bunny:

In the feudal era, when samurai and shinobi were symbols of military might, men were revered as indispensable to every lord that they served under. Women were only considered to be tools for pleasure and increasing the number of these soldiers.

However, in this alternate reality such things are not so. Women have obtained the right to rule. They have become the higher power and worth fearing. This is all because of one woman who was blessed by the stars of Orihime herself, Shinonono Tabane. A mistress of weaving whose works were favored even by the imperial family, she had created something of impossible power, Inscribed Silk. Bolts of cloth that hold inexplicable magics. Their powers could only called forth by women. With this, even a simple girl could fell a hundred samurai. There exists even a legend when one woman brought down the armies of three lords and brought them to ruin before disappearing without a trace.

This brings us to the start of our story. Orimura Ichika is a simple young man who's been taken care of by his sister, Orimura Chifuyu of the velvet night considered one of the most powerful wielders of Inscribed Silk, though Ichika himself only wants to live a fairly simple life with no intent on becoming a samurai like most others. Ichika one day goes through their old things and unfurls the contents of an old trunk in their storage. Fine silks that could be sold for high prices. Chifuyu had told them they were all junk and the two sorely needed the money. So Ichika decided to give them a good wash before putting them up on sale. But when he washes a certain white piece of cloth an unimaginable thing happens that shakes the lives of these two siblings.

.....Why are we always focusing on the sexism now? Okay I get that it wasn't shown properly in canon, and I myself use it as minor plot points, but this is a mecha-harem series. I seriously hope we're not getting Misaimed Fandom here.

@ Demi - What's the difference from canon? Replacing IS with silks isn't going to get much feedback.

[demino_hellsin]

there's no ISA so the circumstances of how he meets the girls is different?

[Eratas123]

...And? He still meets the girls and the "No ISA" thing is hardly unique.
