Yeah, no, psychotic doesn't mean "evil and scary and monstrous id". It refers to a disassociation with reality in general. It peeves me when people misuse psychological terms. (and while I'm at it, no, schizophrenia is not the same as split personalities or being bipolar,  it's auditory and visual hallucinations, fuck you very much asinine RPers online who want your character to have split personalities because it's KEWL)

Anyway, I haven't really figured out a strict code or a methodology.And I honestly don't think I need one  Shouldn't overthink things. I'll just keep rolling along.

even, i'm clinically paranoid psychotic, so whenever i say things regarding my "curse", i mean it. it's not tumblr speak (as you've seen i don't care for it), it's the blunt truth. thanks to my meds, i can dissociate between both states, but i'm still very much the most dangerous human being (i hope) you will ever come into contact with. just like niam is a psychopath, i'm a psychotic. it's just what you get frequenting a forum where oddballs converge to rail against each other over trivial things.

Either I didn't know you have actual psychosis or I forgot. Either way, my bad.

no worries, really. feels good to be treated as nothing special, especially as mentally ill, or worse "dangerous". anyway, it's not your bad. you couldn't know. but thank you for your (unwarranted) respect.  :)

Well, there's no reason not to try to respect people.
Just because I've sunken into nihilism, it doesn't mean I can't try to be nice XD

Are there any Russians in the forum, btw? Or people who can read Russian really well? I found this image while browsing around and I can't read the text,  that's so annoying :|

Why is Boba Fett so popular?  From what I recall of Star Wars (which, admittedly, might be a bit dodgy) he was pretty much a blank slate character with just a few drops of personality so he had to be played by an actor and not just a cardboard cut-out.

You answered your own question.

Good point.  Forgot that people find Bella Swan to be a compelling, enjoyable character, too.

I dunno if I've ever heard someone compliment her as a character, honestly. I realize that there are some people who enjoy the books, but I assume it's more because of the 'blank slate' aspect and less because she's a captivating person.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

What pisses me off is that Bella COULD have been good, there was material there. Someone with self-esteem issues who wants to be special, comes into contact with the scary side of the supernatural, is terrified but has the strength to stay there ´because of her love for Edward (which is actual love with fights and serious conversations and baring souls and fighting and anger and making up, not just OH EDWARD YOUR ABS ARE SO GORGEOUS YOU'RE PERFECT AND I CAN FIND NO FLAW IN YOU).

Just... Twilight could've been good. And that makes me sad and angry.

Twilight couldn't have gone any other way it was going to go.  It's Mormon self-insert fan fiction.

Ironbite-and that's all it'll be.

Sparkly vampires.

That is all.

You can complain all you want about the Twilight books but the writer did manage to make emo vampires even more appealing to teen girls.

"He is soooo beautiful and dark and brooding and *SPARKLY!* SQUEEEEE!!!"
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

But she isn't even a character!  She's a cardboard cutout.
