Quote: And now I'm feeling like an asshole for complaining, because you're being nice enough to write this for us, but it's just ... damn, man.  I think you may be suffering from Internet Communication Syndrome. I'm not mad or upset; except inasmuch as I know you had great enthusiasm for the storyline and high hopes for it and I wish I hadn't brought you down. Quote: I think, as much as the other stuff was harrowing on its own, it was the Icy scene that really hit me hard. I was at work when I read it, and I actually wanted to cry, it hurt so much to see him exposed to it.There's more to say on this one yet, but as Jay has already surmised I'm supplying reasons why various characters of absent posters won't be in the LL line-up this time round; Icy included. Quote: In fact, between your in-story events and my reactions to it in real life, I think this would be the part where we could show Dream kind of losing it. Not in front of the General or anybody outside the team, but within the family of the team, have him start ranting about how this sort of inhumanity on the part of authority cannot be allowed to stand, and after his teammates try to talk him down, he kind just breaks down in tears in April's arms. I mean, Jesus, between being brutally dismembered and witnessing the horrors that he has today, he'd have to be inhuman himself not to feel physically, emotional and mentally wrecked by it all, no matter how much he'd insist at first that he's still fine.It's a hard time for Dream and it'll get harder before the end of the episode. So far he's only had to get himself killed to beat a villain. Meanwhile a pair of his real enemies are taking tea together. Quote: And I feel stupid about how much I've let this affect me, because I'm blinking back tears as I type this now.You have a lot invested in your character and you identify strongly with him. It's what makes you you. The emotional highs and lows that are part of all online communities get magnified in shared fictional universes like the Parodyverse; like all relationships you experience the good parts in proportion to how much you're willing to experience the bad ones. | |||||||
