If I should fall

As you know, this blog isn't gonna last forever. Sooner or later, I will begin the phase of my life. At that time, you will not see xm0123 anywhere except for Fanfiction.net, and even then, I could still change my handle. (My fanfics are my babies; I can't just abandon them!) However, someone else, if willing, can take the torch of xm0123's Domain and continue my legacy. If you should attempt this, here are some guildelines for staying in character:

  1. Praise a video game, tv show, or movie, then blast its fanbase at the same time.
  2. Don't forget to argue with yourself. "This list is stupid!" No it's not!
  3. Praise Caitlin Glass to the point that she should be deified. (Really, you could plug in any voice actress who is a hell-of-a-lot more talented than most Hollywood actresses here; I'm just using Caitlin Glass as an example.)
  4. Talk about any fictional character you hate like he/she/it is the devil come to take your soul and destroy everything that you hold dear. Likewise, talk about any fictional you love like he/she/it is an angel of mercy who has come to soothe your weary soul of pain. Bonus points if it's someone you have any sort of a crush on.
  5. You can describe any girl you think is cute with "OH NO! NOT (name)!", so long as that girl is not on my "Not Cute" list. (Yeah, you'd really blow your cover if you tried saying that Bulma was cute, and you were claiming to be me at the same time.)
  6. Drop links to Touhou remixes when you can't think of anything interesting to write.
  7. If you've ever been disowned from an online community, do everything in your power to badmouth them.
  8. This one's important: The only things Star Wars-related that I truly hate are Episode II, Jar Jar, and the Holiday Special. Hate on anything else Star Wars-related, and you cease being xm0123.
  9. When all else fails, recite lines from Motherfucking Death Note.

Now you can impersonate me with the greatest of ease! Watch, I'll even make a sample entry for you to imitate!

Man, Final Fantasy 9 is still awesome, even after a decade after its initial release, but gawd, FF fans are such retarded assholes! Geeze, what is it about FF that attracts elitist dickwads!? It wasn't like this back in the SNES era!

"Oh really? I know you played FF6 before FF7 came out, but you didn't even like it back then! How can you call yourself a fan when you didn't even get into FF until you were out of high school!?"

I stand corrected. But how about I throw in some voiceover trivia now? When I was reading Tsukihime, do you know who I imagined Satsuki to sound like? Laura Bailey. She makes everything better. Yes, picture Sacchin sounding like Rise from Persona 4; she's now irresistibly cute now, huh!? You know, it'd be great if movie studios started hiring real actresses again and not models. (or women they think should be models) I'm not saying a person can't be a model/actor at the same time, but seriously, is it too much to ask for?

But I suppose it can't be as bad as the time I had a dream (more like a nightmare) wherein that stupid bitch Norma Beatty was taunting me because I kept running away from random encounters . . . oh wait, that actually happens in Tales of Legendia; you run away a lot; she taunts you. As if she wasn't annoying enough as is, gawd I really wished she had died from that spider toxin in the third act; it would've created some much-needed tension in the story thank my stars I got rid of my copy . . . and picked up Tales of the Abyss, so that I may idolize Jade Curtiss. Yes, we need more people like Jade in the world. Sure, he may be twisted, but he's twisted in a way no one can resist. Why couldn't he be the main character? Well, there's always fanfiction to remedy that . . .

Oh, I might as well say it now; at points when I was watching Ponyo, I got the urge to shout, "OH NO! NOT PONYO!" Guess that means I liked the movie.

Umm . . . what else is there to write? Oh, here, a remix of Kaguya-hime's theme. It's the kind of remix that makes a Touhou fan like me shout, "OH NO! NOT KAGUYA!" Oops, it seems like I did it again, readers.

Oh, also, just to keep my blood pressure up, FUCK THE NPF!!!!!! Old school 8-bit Theatre is still awesome, but the forum, man, why did I even stay for as long as I did? Maybe I'm a masochist, and I don't even know it. Great, I'm unconsciously attracted to misery now; that explains a lot.

But the best thing is, I can at least say here that Star Wars is teh awesome without anyone calling me a "fag." Sure, Avatar is like A New Hope for a new generation, but I'm not gonna forget the fun I had with the older trilogy and the Jedi Knight series and the first Knight of the Old Republic; I just can't. But yeah, I can't ignore the comparisons between Avatar and the first Star Wars film. Roger Ebert said Avatar was the most awe-inspiring sci-fi film since Ep. IV, and since Ep. IV is my third-favorite Star Wars film, I figured, I'd probably like Avatar. So I watched it, hoping it'd be like A New Hope. When the credits finished, these were my thoughts:

(dramatic zoom-in to my face) I knew it! I knew it! I KNEW IT!

"STOP QUOTING DEATH NOTE ALREADY!"

But I haven't done that quote yet! And Avatar is good! So there. Peace out.

See how easy that was?
