And The Slender Man isn't being gracious and letting me know where he is. It's so fucking irritating. I just don't know what to believe anymore. Occam's Razor can suck it.___https://www.blogger.com/profile/09714975900405466896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962347651703513309.post-5680909602636845622011-03-21T19:32:32.110-04:002011-03-21T19:32:32.110-04:00This. is. awesome. :)

The second season was good too, but they had to give it a Gainax Ending, and it all just went really downhill after that. =(<br /><br />Either way, it's worth a look if you can get your hands on it. ^^Hakurei Ryuuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806680039667637538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962347651703513309.post-44584848964818677292011-03-20T21:13:53.273-04:002011-03-20T21:13:53.273-04:00yeah, i've had a lot of time to think. i still...yeah, i've had a lot of time to think. i still don't want to talk about...before, but i'm not going to step off the roof or anything. and i'm still going to shoot redlight if he gets within shooting distance. and if i have a gun.<br /><br />i don't think i've watched heroes before...then again, i think i've watched more tv since i met alora than i have in my entire life. which is really sad now that i think about it...Alorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665603943535850696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962347651703513309.post-29385467960239687912011-03-20T20:15:36.363-04:002011-03-20T20:15:36.363-04:00@Alora: Ohai, Alora! =P
Yeah, that really is the ...@Alora: Ohai, Alora! =P<br /><br />Yeah, that really is the biggest "positive" here: that it all fits Its MO <i>perfectly</i>. Still some mysteries that need explaining, but for now I'm tenatively on Reach's side.<br /><br />@Daniel: Hi there! Nice to see you talking again. So you're like Matt Parkman from "Heroes"? That's awesome, he was always one of my favorite characters. ^^<br /><br />@Sage: Mmm... rather than calling it simple or complicated, I'd say... opportunities have opened up. Before, things were organized in more or less a straight line. A superpowered human is a Conduit, a superpowered proxy is a Revenant. Now, though... now a superpowered human could be anything. And yeah, a superpowered proxy could also be anything, but that doesn't mean the standard procedure for dealing with them is any different. All that really happened was that their aren't any ready lables for these guys anymore. That by itself gives everyone involved a lot more wiggle room.<br /><br />The thing of it is, everyone in this community has SOME leader-figure or another to look up to. Zeke, M, Robert and the other Sages, Ava, Reach... but almost all of them inevitably fall in some way. This idea of Conduits had us thinking along similar lines: that it was only a chosen few who had the capability to do some real damage. <br /><br />Suppose this secret, what It was trying to hide... was that ANYONE can hurt It if they tried. Even just the time that Reach arrived on the blogs sort of implies this...<br /><br />Damn. This line of thought needs a post of its own.

Th...I'm willing to back Reach's revelation. The whole "Conduits and Revenants" thing always seemed far too simple, and far too convenient after some of the stuff I've seen that WASN'T SpindlyDouche McTallThin related. The issue suddenly becoming complicated actually... comforts me. I'm dealing with the unknown that I know, as opposed to the unknown that I don't know.<br /><br />It also means that the thing wanted us to think that finding someone with "Weird Abilities" was the key to beating it for the longest time. The fact that it depended on the term "conduit" and the connotations therein made us all so happy. Frankly, I wish I was just a guy with a crowbar right now. After all, if it wanted us to think that special abilities were the answer, then what was it that it DIDN'T want us seeing?AmalgamationSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872769253218948198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962347651703513309.post-85209897975112001042011-03-20T18:41:28.561-04:002011-03-20T18:41:28.561-04:00Ohhai, Hakurei. :)
I think we're basically on...Ohhai, Hakurei. :)<br /><br />I think we're basically on the same wavelength here. There are things about this that seem true, but others than can't really be explained by Reach's story. I think that there is a lot of this whole renevant/conduit thing that is smoke and mirrors, probably to hide some sort of Big Important Thing and keep us all fighting each other. But some of it is real, like Daniel or Redlight or those other Conduits you mentioned (I've never heard of Tom, but that sounds like a dang cool power).<br /><br />(and i think i've always been able to use my powers, just not consciously. i've still got huge gaps in my memory, but i can remember being good at sneaking up on people and getting information out of perps. -daniel)<br /><br />So it's reality hidden under layers of smoke and mirrors. The good news is that, with Reach's revelation out in the open, maybe we can separate the two and know who's really dangerous.<br /><br />Stay safe.<br /><br />~AloraAlorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665603943535850696noreply@blogger.com
