It is funny in a way. Skywalker made a good question on one of his posts, where? Where are all the heroes? I'm not talking about those white knights, I'm talking about those who were so focused on fighting Marshmallow and the other merry bag of douches?
Did you not notice?
Well then open your eyes, where are those brave hearts who said they would kill Marshmallow? Where are they now? Fell off the radar, gone, disappeared, probably dead, somewhere in a ditch.
Where is Annalee and her geeky friend Danny? Where is our favorite scientist Med? Where did our spider, Strider go? How about Shadow? Lily is brain washed by the Unnamed Brat and probably dead. Gabby fell off the grid. What about Knight? And whatever happened to that Preaching Old Fart Father Brien? Oh and whatever happened to lil' ol' Alicia? Where did the Granny Killer Arkady go? Where is Diana? Echo is brainwashed to shit and his friend Ronald never turned up.
There are only few that remain with a passion, but they are stuck (Incognito), or horribly injured (Raggedy), or have some sort of pointless romance going on (Kenny).
And only those who ONLY want to survive for as long as they can are still on the board. The likes of Philly, JP, Minxie and so on...
And this is the delicious part, the roles of main pieces turn, the pieces are no heroes no more, the main pieces are as dark, as the owner's of this game. The likes of Skywalker, Knitty, Fracture and yours truly. Gone are the days when Heroes would sacrifice themselves against the villains, this is a new era, an era where there are no heroes, where there are only victims and predators. The days when predators will claw each others throats out for a victim.
This game has twisted in ways it was never twisted before and I have the first row seat to observe this game twist and turn, until the very day it implodes.
What a tragedy, what a beauty.
There is currently both you and Owly's team.
ReplyDeleteStill that is significantly less than before that will attempt to directly attack and I blame Proxies for it. Think about how when we get assigned a proxy our focus shifts from surviving their master to surviving them. Not only that but the proxy often is more personal because we knew them(Fred and I) or they do something that makes it personal(like Snowblind did). Then when we factor in that we runners know that a Proxy can and will die it often motivates us more than taking on the entity that killed all of heroes. This contrast between master and servant arguably makes every appearance of Slendy all the more terrifying and foreboding when he is in focus again. I can't speak for anyone but myself but it seems that Slendy, and the Fears, have found a way to make it seem even more hopeless to fight them.
If I may add one more thing, worse is the fact everytime we try to fight back, that we are given hope, it is completely and utterly smashed often after he plays along. There was Zeke, M, the sages, Damian's magic bone, Zero's solstice plan, but look what happened there. Honestly you can't blame someone for simply trying to survive after that much hope was destroyed.
DeleteWhy survive then? You're spending your life doing something you obviously don't want. Quite frankly, you're just wasting your time here, you have no purpose, you just go where the wind blows you.
DeleteThat, is worse than death. You have my pity, but not my mercy.
Doing something I don't to do? The fuck you talking about, Kelevra? Clearly I want to live or else I would have been killed by Fred or Cutie Mark, but I didn't because I want to live. Sure I really don't like my current position but I always just remind myself, "Well self you are dead so that's one good thing.
DeleteWhen you think about it focusing on surviving makes sense. We tried to kill Slendy first, but that's like walking before crawling or whatever metaphor you will to use. How can we learn to kill something if we can't survive it? It's actually quite logical.
Well, dunna put words in my mouth. I think chasing the impossible is strangely fulfilling. You're not bound to one location. You can stay up all night, sleep all day, say what you want, wear what you want without having an argument that ends in your stepdad threatening suicide. Might not mean much to you, 'cause you're an adult. But this mess caught me at the first light of my selfhood, for better or for worse. Finding the positives in running, is the only peace I will ever have.
ReplyDeleteThere's a nostalgic, futile beauty about it. Something evanescent yet inescapable. Chasing butterflies is still a hobby of mine. You crash round and round in circles and you almost get it, only to have it slip through your fingers and fly away forever. But you know, it was almost fun while it lasted, so you figure it was worth it.
Told you, you'd enjoy it eventually.
DeleteI don't really enjoy starving day in day out and having flashbacks and anxiety attacks; thanks. But it helps to look for the positives. And then it hurts a lot, you know? Probably losing my mind or something.
DeleteAww you remembered me...I'm strangely touched.
ReplyDeleteOf course you are, cause you've been forgotten for so long, though I never forget interesting pieces.
DeleteThere are still heroes. You just have to look harder.
ReplyDeletePlease point me to some, cause so far, I'm not seeing any.
DeleteThat sort of information is somewhat out of your price range.
DeleteBesides, you're clearly enjoying this. I'm not gonna send you a bunch of targets.
Targets? Why would I want to kill them? They are of no purpose to me, doesn't matter really, they will die soon anyway, or turn on you, that always happens and can you really blame them?
DeleteYou say that always happens, but really? Other than the skinny fuck?
DeleteYou'll have to try harder to find my levers.
Levers? Nah I don't need no levers, also, while I'm on my way to my point of destination. I will drop by, I need some information destroyed and you own that information, so expect me.
DeleteI'm not even gonna deny it. Kelevra's exactly right. I just want to survive.
ReplyDelete*JP
Of course you do, whats the point though? That's what I don't get.
DeleteThere is no point. I just want to live. I'll fight against Veigar until he destroys me, and I'll fight against all the FUCKERS in my life (looking at you Bill Coyote Shitpherius) until they kill me.
DeleteIf I survive until this ends, that's one hell of an accomplishment in my book.
*JP
Implodes? HA. It can't implode. It will just circle around. As the stragglers of the Golden Age.... You lot... DIE OFF ONE BY ONE, the Game will change and shift back to a previous state. The Scribes will Archive all these lovely little blogs and DELETE THEM FOREVER. That way, when the next people notice a weird, tall, faceless man following them, they will have NO HELP. NO INFORMATION. And the Golden Age will come again.
ReplyDeleteNice theory you got there, one problem, just one problem, that one little problem. Those Scribes you keep talking about? Have they met The Master? No, not Marshmallow, I mean the one who sets up the board? Hm? Hm? Nah, didn't think so, he won't let the game shift back to its previous state, he will twist it to the end, because The Game must end at some point and it will.
DeleteWe clearly have very different ideas about who sets up the board. Heheheheh. We will see who is right.
DeleteYou're a twisted fuck, you know that? But you're right. And you shouldn't BE right. I don't get it. I REALLY just don't fucking get it. Proxy, Runner, I really don't care. Are ANY of you actually fighting for anything, anymore? BESIDES survival? Or has even THAT concept fell away? Making life nothing more than a race to take in one more breath of air than the next idiot? It's insane.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I've got two words for all of you: Grow Up.
And I'm only commenting because Cypher threatened to burn down an orphanage if I didn't. So there.
Don't worry; my suicide plans are still at the forefront of my mind.
DeleteYeah. Cause I'm definitely the one who would appreciate THAT train of thought.
DeleteSuicide. Is not a plan.
Suicide is telling ALL those FUCKS that they beat you. Is that what you want, Sanna? Is that what you see your options as? Kill yourself or become a monster? Kiddo, you make choices every single minute of every single day. Kelevra and Cypher may have broken you, but that's when its time to get out the Krazy glue. Piece your shit back together and figure out where your feet are. That's life. No pretty pictures, no fancy bows or glittery things. Just cold hard reality. No one is forcing you through ANYTHING, Sanna. So, for the love of God, don't be a moron about it. Grab something worth fighting for and FIGHT.
Twisted? Not me who is Twisted. I'm simply laying down the facts on the table. This is how it is and how t will be for a while. And its amazing isn't it? How this game has changed so much.
DeleteFine, I'm fighting for tigers, Jenson Button, Alexander Ovechkin, and alpacas everywhere and also Casablanca.
DeleteHey Kelevra, you're cleverer than me. Do you know have any ideas on how to help Incognito and Vikady out of that godforsaken cave? Because I am really losing sleep over that.
No idea. Never been there.
DeleteFuck. Piss. I presume you can't dig them out. Fucking pissing shitting cults.
DeleteAlso, I'm really really sorry, about attacking you and swearing at you and threatening you a lot and generally being stroppy. It is improper to say and do all that shit to your elders. Plus you saved my life like twice and you didn't deserve it. And not everyone has the patience for teenagers like me.
So yeh, I'm really really sincerely sorry I said and did all that. What do you want as an early Christmas present?
What does that make me? Killing Proxies left and right. Maybe even a couple predators at some point soon. Challenging Morningstar as soon as he accepts my offer.
ReplyDeleteWhat does it make Carter? Surviving and looking for ways to kill fears.
Neither one of us is JUST surviving.
You're right, you're none of those, you're just a bug who doesn't know his place. You have these illusions of grandeur, you talk a big walk, yet you haven't walked one step. So what does make you so different from Minxie and others who seek only survival? Nothing really.
DeleteWhat is wrong with just wanting to survive?
DeleteWhy do people think it's so awful?
I don't understand and it's confusing me. Why is it a bad thing?
You confuse me for myself. I am not yet lost enough to think myself able to kill some god, or some fears. Hell I'm not even sure about Morning. But I can try. I can get away without dieing. I know the for sure.
DeleteAnd I fight. I've destroyed an organization that traded in organs and lives. If I am a bug, then surely I am a Japanese Giant Hornet.
Sanna. Having nobody fight means that everybody dies a horrible death at some point. Having some people survive is better though. You keep the fighters alive longer, and you teach the new ones. Kelevra just wants some total war to watch.
Where do I stand in this game? I'd like to know someone elses opinion besides half of the american branch pretty much shiting themselves when I enter their headquarters.
ReplyDelete-Veigar
Ahem. I'd just like to say, the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
