    If I were my avatar, I think I’d be a lot more excited. Seriously, look at that goddamn view.

    On the other hand, there's no railing on that staircase and its up awful high. I'd be pretty anxious.

    I think I'd do a whole lot better, overall:

    To Sayaka, having your consciousness taken from your fleshy body and stored in an artificial construct is a source of angst and despair. To me, it's a life goal!

    I think a big part of it is western culture (especially nerdy western culture) vs japanese culture.

    This is the same culture that believes that swords can have souls, yes?

    It's all right and good for a sword soul to be in a sword. But you have a human soul and now it's in a gem and that's badwrong. If it was a gemsoul that'd be fine but it's a human soul so either it's in a badwrong place or it's not a human soul anymore

    I imagine at least some of it is the body horror aspect. I don’t know about you, but I think it’d be deeply unsettling to suddenly realize someone tore you apart and put you back together in ways you absolutely didn’t approve of. It’s the difference between voluntarily donating blood, and waking up in your own bed with an IV in your arm and a stranger standing over you removing the bag.

    I mean, they were told that they'd have a soul gem. Like, that's kinda like saying you'll have a "brain jar." It's... rather descriptive of what it is, ya know?

    Only with the benefit of hindsight. There’s a wealth of other possible meanings than “a gem that holds your soul.” Jar has the “container” meaning built into it, but a soul gem could connect to your soul, or resonate with it, or draw power from it, or so on.

    And it’s pretty clear that the name is supposed to obscure what it does, because otherwise QB wouldn’t be using it.

    Ya, but come on, like, surely the reaction at that point should be "oh god dammit I'm a moron" and not "MY LIFE IS A LIE DESPAIR IS BECOME ME"

    1: Everyone gets very confused, I get very cute. Also I no longer have a wreck of a body which is nice.
    2: F-35 suddenly becomes a depressed nerd. Everyone is very confused.

    My Avatar consists of two individuals, whom would be taking priority in this line of events…? I’m going to ignore the first scenario because nothing really of note can be written (that would be unique anyways; weird shit happens, but who isn’t having that happen?), and as for the second…
    [​IMG]
    Call me crazy, but I think most people aren’t going to go, “Oh, I a goof” when they discover they have been permanetly and spiritually violated by an alien force without their awareness. Also, realizing a single little stone is the only thing that keeps you alive or makes you you and if you misplace it means you become braindead is a tad traumatizing to discover.

    I honestly can’t quite grasp how this would be something baffling to someone. What, if somebody stole your brain, out it in a jar (which can easily break and it touched sends spasms of pain through your body) and said “If this leaves your vicinity, you die”, you’d be nonchalant with that?

    It's only when touched by QB that it causes pain. And it doesn't break easily.

    It's it less "I'm a goof" and more "I am a fucking moron".

    If i was my avatar...well...I'd be fucking happy with life.

    1. Well...its actually not all that different from howI look. I get cool powers, and clothing made for cold. My anime loving friends would freak and geek out with me.
    2. Fuck. Yes. The only way it could be better is if I was Toph.

    1) Well. How am I going to explain the tail, horns, slip-pupil'd eyess, wings, fangs and split tongue? Or the undeniable need for blood and sex as foodsources? At least I'm gorgeous now.

    2) Well, shit. Guess my homess Hell now. At least Mother Lilith ~cares~ for her daughters~.

    I am now hot, and has a badass beard. I also have superpowers that can force China to stop taking other countries' stuff.

    1) I'd be an inanimate piece of food and have no mouth and I must scream as I'm consumed by some unwitting passerby.

    You clearly have a mouth though. You even have a twin to talk to.

    Question though. If you lewd that other you, is it incest or masturbation?

    1.) I'm a male Crusader wearing modified sororitas power armor. Needless to say I sell my equipment to the US military and use the money to pay off debts.

    2.) Wish me luck guys because I'm working as an operative under the Inquisition.

    Well, with this avatar...

    1. I would likely accidentally grow 9 tails and eat the sun or something when I become a beast. Or practice the castration fist for when I become a waifu.
    2. Oh, dear god I'm in for a hell of a time. Either on the fucking moon in a death match against fucking Buddha or visiting Paris and heading towards Chaleda to save humanity from fucking beasts and shit. While also practicing my castration fist.

    -edit-

    I guess I would also have like 8 or so fox girls wanting to kill me as well.

    Not really? As the original Tamamo, rather than one of the derivative members of the Tamamo 9, you still being around would be kind of essential to their own continued existence. You might not get along with some of them, but if anything they would begrudgingly do whatever it took to keep you around. Or at least, so I would think.

    Kyu from Huniepop.

    1) I'm a love fairy now? Well might as well do what I'm supposed to do. Help some poor smucks get laid. Maybe I'll start with entire user base of QQ. This will probably kill any sort of traffic on this site, but its for the greater good.

    2.) Not much of a change from above. Help others get laid and make a world a better place to live in, because of it.
