*Nihilist mode*
Y'know, I really should stop telling you to do this this and that. It's not like it matters anyway. It's all meaningless-- playing with the gravel on the roadside of life...

*sheepish grin* You know, I actually TRIED to watch Heroes today......
Except I couldn't find a decent streaming website, and NBC only had the full episodes for the latest ones....
If you could help me find a link for streaming that WORKS, I have the time to watch it now...

I gave you a link about 20 or so pages.
Also, can I just say (in a totally non-spiteful and depressed way. Honest.) that I am SO jealous of you and Asila. Not your friendship or anything, or how much you RP...just in general. I'll only elaborate if you want me to.

*feels terrible* You did? I guess I ought to start reading back then, huh? *sighs* Sorry about everything Rojo. I can't shake the feeling that I'm depressing you. Am I?
But yes, I would be interested in hearing what you have to say. I always am.

*Absently* Hmm? Oh, yes, you are. But I'm just a very...fluxative (if that's a word) person.
You two can have a meaningful conversation. I marvel at your appreciation for the arts and how you can talk for hours and hours about everything and nothing. And your TALENT. Both of you have superb skill with a pencil, and with literature as well! You can come out with far wittier comments than me (not to mention funny too) and wittiscism and humour are supposed to be my speciality! Even your critique is brilliant! You can analyse all aspects of a piece of writing or art perfectly, and discuss well and give positive and negative feedback...
I can't do anything...

Aw, I feel terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that...
But I think you really undermine yourself here. You are an incredible writer, Rojo, and you're actually pretty good at drawing as well (recalling your 'For Asila' picture). I know you won't want to hear this, but age does have a bit to do with it. Right now, you're still very young, and your skills as a writer/artist are developing. In fact, when you told me you were 12, I was the one envying you. I didn't even have half as much talent at that age as you have right now. Hell, it wasn't even until last year that I began writing decent (at best) posts during rp. If you want proof, just look back on any of the hidden 'old' boards on FF as testament to that. And no, I don't think we really come up with anything wittier, or funnier. Sure, we all have our moments in which we think of something especially clever, but I'd like you to remember that we are not competing with each other. We all just want to be able to improve, and I think we all are.
It's not like we're just hanging out with you out of pity or anything, Rojo. You really amazed us with your overall maturity and your skill. If you hadn't told us you were 12, we would have never recognized you to be younger than us. In the end, our current 'skills' have a lot to do with the fact that we've had more experience, whereas yours comes from natural talent.
Asila does have a natural talent for being a good critic for everyone (but herself.) My impressions are never as insightful as hers (even Aka was moved by Asila's analysis of her poetry, and that pretty much never happens with Aka!), but whenever Asila writes a lot of thought-provoking things, my thoughts become a bit more inspired as well. *sheepish grin* But on my own, I'm really not that clever. And honestly, I tend to be envious of Asila myself, because she is so insightful and writes so much more beautifully than me. But I don't allow that to depress me--in fact, I usually feel honored to be friends with such amazing people (in this case, you and Asila. You both astound me to no ends.) And then I try my best to write or draw something that would make you both proud to be friends with me. It's never really a competitive thing in my case. I just want to do my best.
As for our meaningful conversations....Well, Asila really opened up to me a while ago, coming to me for comfort because she's had so many pains in her life. She's been needing someone to relate to, and unconditional acceptance. She really was completely honest with me. It was sort of amazing because of the fact that she never wanted to show weakness. But once she did, and because I didn't turn away or criticize her for what she was telling me, she remained open. However, whenever you feel hurt or depressed, you tend to try to keep it hidden, bottling up your feelings. And without knowing what is wrong, we can't really help you---and then I get the feeling you come to resent us. (So I'm glad you told me this time.) I would like to have meaningful conversations, Rojo, but it won't happen if you avoid me. Even the time difference doesn't matter so much since we're posting on a forum. (I mean, Asila doesn't usually post things until after I fall asleep, but we still keep up a conversation because I can always reply to it the next day.) But the conversations we have is the result for the trust we have for each other.
((BTW, I did go searching for your link, and I found the website with heroes. But the second I tried to watch it, it made my computer crash and I had reset the dumb thing. *cries* Life is unkind.))

You just did it again. I made a small comment and you reply with a COLOSSAL "Don't feel bad" post complete with soppy kiss on the front.
It's so frustrating being young! I wish to be older and have a life and make money and make my own choices and make my own way in the world. Most people want to be kids forever- not me, it sucks. You have no freedom...I know I'll be eating these words (probably literally in a fit of madness) in a few years, but I just SO want to have my own life....I HAVE NO SKILLS! DO NOT COMPLEMENT ME! I AM A FAILURE!
I wish I could be like Asila...as I've said previously, I can't do serious characters. This is my downfall, because it means I most likely can't RP with her. Prehaps it's wy Small Glade ended...I have this theory, you see, about women...ah, I'll tell you another time...anyway, I'm honoured to find kindred spirits (a phrase here meaning creative people who aren't totally obsessed with sexual intercourse and who don't always make VAMPIRES AND GODDAMN WEREWOLVES!!! I think I shall rant about that at some point...) and you DO impress us! Well, me at least-- on a daily basis! You people cease to amaze me...it's quite jarring...
Well, I won't interrogate you about what you and Asila talked about. People do that a lot to me too...I'm told I'm a very...understanding person...I was in the local fishwrapper for stopping a suicide, but that's another story...and one of my friends told me that he was bisexual, and you must know if he reads this I may never return as I swore secrecy not to tell, but evidently I trust you enough to risk my neck. But when I meant conversationwise I mean that you can pull things out of the air that I have no idea about, and then I just rant off about games...now, you may say that too is based on age, but lemme tell yez, you have only seen the tip of my gaming ice-burg....

*sheepish grin* I'm really mushy, apparently. *gives him a big sloppy kiss on the cheek and a death grip hug*BUT MY LITTLE ROJO IS SO UNBEARABLY CUTE!!! Why wouldn't I want to go on a long rant about him? And I don't really mean for my posts to come off as a "don't feel bad," spiel. They're supposed to come off as a "WILL YOU STOP SAYING YOU HAVE NO SKILLS ALREADY!!!!? YOU DO GOD DAMNIT!!!" *SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE*
*grins* Besides, making a big, soppy mess of a post is how Asila and I always get into the long, meaningful discussions you'd like to be a part of. So stop complaining!
Well, I can't help you with that issue, Rojo. I always wanted to remain a kid. I had/have a peter pan complex. *shrugs* But you don't really have to complain about not being an adult yet. It'll go by pretty fast. Just enjoy the present. AND YES YOU DO HAVE TALENT!!! STOP THAT ALREADY!!! *whacks*
Stop that! Oak is a serious character, and you play him just fine! *pauses to think* You know, now that I think of it, it took me a bit to play truly serious characters. And even then, I couldn't help but try to throw in something random to make some event pertaining to them comical. But you know, it doesn't really matter. Think of it this way: you can rp a character who is non-serious in a serious manner. I don't know if that makes sense to you, so I'll try to clear it up by giving you an example. Lanix is the most un-serious character I have, but he's also one of Asila's favorites that I play. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can have a fun-loving, silly character as long as you play them realistically. Remember when you asked me if you could play a black who said the N-word? How I responded that there are so many types of people that pretty much any kind of personality you give a character would work? The same thing applies here. You know, if you want to see crappy RPing, you should check out ADS. Most people there either 1) Played LITERALLY the same person over and over again (just different names/species) without ANY character growth or depth, or 2) managed to make characterily unrealistic, all-powerful jerks. And no, that's not why Small Glade ended. And more so, small glade isn't over yet. Asila does intend to get back to it, I've talked to her recently about it. *Is interested in Rojo's theory* Yes, you'll have to tell me sometime. *grins* And I'm glad to be a kindred spirit. (Bleh, you reminded me of all the random sex that went on on ADS...) *more grinning* You have to stop with all the compliments! You'll make me bashful. But the feeling is likewise, Rojo.
Well, I don't think what Asila and I have talked is something she would mind me sharing with you. She's had a lot of hardships in her life, mostly concerning her family that implanted the seeds of a certain self-loathing, anxieties and pains, and loathing for humanity in general (save a few.) Her family is for the most part ignorant, and have never really supported her artistic callings, and consider her drawings and writings a waste of time. As a result, she usually feels insecure about whatever she produces---even after I tell her that that notion is irrational, it's a feeling she can't shake. She seems to live with this fear of "I'm not good enough, I won't succeed at anything," which leads to depression. And it's just so sad, because people like you and I know that it's not true in the slightest. After all, here we are talking about how great it would be like her. It's funny even, considering that she would probably love to another's life. *frowns* Yeah, most of her family has pretty much never been there for her, and even have purposely tried to bring her down. So you see, all of Asila's characters, her 'serious' characters (as you put it) are really just metaphorical expressions of her life, and the inner turmoil she's endured. In that way, they are all very, very much a part of her, because they share the same backgrounds and attributes shes has. Evening is representative of Asila's lost innocence---the happiness and 'family' ideal she lost as a child, being forced to live alone. Malevolos had an awful relationship with his mom, who was always apathetic to his existence and could only see him as failure. Most of her characters are seeking acceptance from someone, but are too proud to admit it. So you see, between the fact that she's already insecure and vulnerable, and the fact that her favorite characters are in some shape a manifestation of herself and her pains, (and her stories are the same way), she feels completely devastated whenever someone shoots her and her ideas down.
Anyways, I'm ranting at this point. I know that you're an understanding person, and of course I'd never betray your friend's secret. I'm happy to know you have that much faith in me.
And no, I don't really think it is age-based on this point. It's just circumstantial. I can't afford video-games anymore, so as much as I love them, I try to not tempt myself by getting involved with the gaming world too much, otherwise I'd just end up feeling jealous.
