Your Everything Disgusts Me (DC/SI)

"I hate not making sense."
"It shall be done."
Yeah, I can see that.

 

Bah, everything I say is perfectly in tune with a reality!

And you can't prove otherwise so nyeh!

 

Alright, this popped up, but only because you quoted me

And same with this

This, however, didn't. Neither did anything, where i was not quoted, after it. So, yay, Vyor isn't special! He and-slash-or she is perfectly average!

...

Wait, is that cause for celebration?

 

I kinda picked up this was a pseudo-Red Ring.
As far as modifying the concept to make a (mostly) heroic Red Lantern, I approve of the modifications. Better than GLTAS did it IMO.

As our protagonist so often remarks.

 

nah. i don't even mean the emotional part. i just mean how he seems to abide by basic debate etiquette, or at least the intent behind said etiquette, when interacting with people.

it doesn't matter if the path you were on was the wrong one because trying to find the right one is itself the right path. or somehting like that. i hope someone who understands what i am trying to say can explane it better then i can.

 

Rage is, categorically, what you feel outside of your reasoning while Contempt can only exist as a result of reasoning?

 

LIES! I am special!


(also, yes, he)

 

lost interest the second you took your ring off.

 

Shitposting, basically.

 

What makes you think there's objective thinking going on there?

 

this should help you figure it out. it's probably the S catagory that is causing it.

 

I love this story. I hope that you continue it at some point.

 

You think that taking in the world by sensing rather than intuition is causing this? As opposed to, say, interacting with the world by judging it?

 

Well they definitely weren't thinking about what they could say to make the situation better. That's rather why it was called "useless" criticism. Thinking about it, it's probably the same thing that caused you to not realise that "rather than" and "As opposed to" have the same literal meaning.

 

They have similar definitions, and are frequently used together for stylistic reasons, much the same way that you would talk about, say, "Dave & Bob are doing X, and Jane & Emma are doing Y."

N is the other thing somebody could have instead of S, making your assertion in essence "having S makes you more likely to do this than if you had N instead." Meanwhile, J/P is another category entirely, and the one that you should have been focusing on.

You see, we have these things called words that are used to construct full sentences and ideas, and if you were capable or interested in having a discussion about it, you probably would have responded to the point that this is a question of how people are interacting with the world.

 

Well, that is very good to know. Now, if just the one who posted things were you, everything would be absolutely amazing

 

TotalAbsolutism, I notice that you've mentioned what the other lantern emotions from Puce's home universe are; I'm curious, will you be noting those via colored highlight in updates as you have for the native colors? Seems like something that the ring would do since it could detect local emotions, and it might be interesting to see.

Could see Lantern Stewart noticing Puce's native emotional colors too, since he's currently the only lantern that's interacted with Puce and its presumed emotional spectrum database, though that'd of course be up to you.

 

Damn. I thought this was being continued.

 

Brief thought on shields: While contempt for the attack mages sense, so might contempt for bei attacked or wounded, thus coming from the other end about what to feel contempt for. Or even contempt for being unprotected (which should be fairly easy to produce when you're about to be hour for massive damage otherwise )

 

What? You're missing a few words.

 

"A brief thought on the subject of shields: While the conceptual use of weaponized contempt on the attack itself is feasible, perhaps a more generalized contempt for being attacked, or injured at all, mayhaps even extending that general contempt to being left vulnerable, could lead to curious and novel applications. The contempt for inefficiency potentially benefits the SI more than a point contempt-defense."

 

I don't think the protagonist here has the right mindset for that. Remember his contempt for himself was strong enough to remake himself from the ground up.

Your idea would work better for a Gilgamesh type character. One with overwhelming pride in himself.

 

Thank you, typing from mobile is a bitch.
