I'll give them this, they provide a hell of a workout during conditioning classes, but the martial arts aspect of it is chock full of mysticism and bad anatomy. Sin is regarded more or less as a demigod, with an actual book someone drew up detailing a bunch of physics defying stunts he pulled in his past.

Wow, this thread exploded, didn't it? Nice to have you on board, Snapdragon750! Parrier Runs a Ninja Village in Naruto Where He is Dragon King. Back in 2007, having been held yet another year back from graduating, Parrier decides that he has one of those Hidden ninja villages in the Naruto world. It is full of all his dragon kin. Turns out, wayyyyyyy back in the history of Naruto (but not too far back because Kakashi was involed *eyeroll*), the dragons in Naruto were hunted down and exterminated in a great war with the Ninjas! Why? Well, dragons had a habit of eating humans/their livestock/being pests and, thus, ninjas were hired to take care of them. But dragons are notoriously hard to get rid of, so it soon became a blood feud. Special poison was invented to slay dragons. Wanting to live in peace, Parrier built a Hidden Village to house all the dragons. The dragons could masquerade as human, of course (or, at least, human enough to appease ninjas. Have you seen some of them Naruto ninjas?). And, while all was not forgiven or forgotten, a tentative peace reigned. Because no one could find dragons. Parrier ruled the dragon village, of course. Because he was the most powerful one there, even over the BLACK DRAGON OF DEATH, Griever (who I'd heard of before, initially as being that Lion Pendant thing Squall from ff8 wears, but I guess he's a Black Dragon of Death who was depressed because his touch killed everything.. Also, I'd originally taken this character to be Parrier's brother, but then Griever became another harem buddy. I can tell this story later.). Anyway. Griever dutifully looked after Parrier's Hidden Naruto Dragon Village for him while Parrier was stuck in the body of a girl cursed to not finish High School. We had a great many musings regarding the Naruto world. Joining Parrier's harem was: Orochimaru, Kakashi, and Itachi. Kakashi came first, as a sort of crush. A crush that quickly diverted when Denise told someone else about the whole Animu Is Real Thing, and that person clearly like Kakashi as a sort of muse (and not as a lover/whatever. Which I thought was cool. Why couldn't Parrier just hang out with these people? Why did he have to gently caress him? Oh, right. Orochimaru appeared with a rape-fantasy that was just odd. Not only did Orochimaru routinely force Parrier (at this point, it was only Parrier. No Magnolia or Denise. This was the demon who was trapped in the body of a high school girl.), be all snakey during sex, inflict lots of bites (which were likely a combination of freckles/acne), and do some science experiments on him (!!!). I actually got to chat with Itachi. Melissa 'switched' with him, meaning that he possessed her body for a short time during an anime convention. Far from showing off his ninjutsu in the face of the Real World, he was rather quiet and reserved. Despite reportedly having lots of rough sex with Parrier* (our favourite incubus showed me the bruises), he kept his distance. At the end of the night, when we returned to our rooms (we all shared a suite), instead of following Parrier's hints of 'Well, I'm going upstairs now!' Itachi decided to hang out with me and watch the end of Paranoia Agent in the living space. *This was the time that Parrier was getting into bondage. Got those pants with all the straps and poo poo. Luckily, he didn't share the details of his exploits. Usually, he didn't remember the details (OMG!DATERAPE!!). Anyway. So the Naruto world became Parrier's base of operations. He graciously told me that I was welcome to visit and/or live in his village. He started implying how no one would touch me because I was his friend and thus under His protection, except that I'd had enough of his bullshit. I think it was then that I started mildly trolling his fantasies. At that point, I revealed that I was more than just a High School girl with animistic beliefs. EDIT: SSNeoman posted:Also it's Griever, not Mourner Clearly I haven't played ff8 enough. Thought I had to CHANGE THE NAME TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY. I'll go switch em all back. la_fausse_tortue fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Dec 15, 2011 |

Allen Wren posted:OH poo poo TORTUE IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH. With a quote like that, I honestly wish I'd decided to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to troll his fantasies. The Decepticons Are Living In The Apartment Above Us. Right after the Second Transformers movie came out, Melissa and Parrier are apartment-sitting for Melissa's bro. Creepy poo poo has been happening, yo. Frankly, the cupboard that was the main bit of creepy was legitimately creepy. It was under the bathroom sink, and had a habit of opening itself even when the garbage can blocked it from opening. It had a huge creepy vibe coming from it. But, cupboard aside, it would seem that strange things were happening in that building. The decepticons, of course, were around the area. Outside, mostly. But, the night before, their neighbour had mysteriously started vacuuming at 3am! Totally Decepticons' fault. So, I visited when they were getting mildly freaked at the OMGENERGY. Or, rather, Parrier was getting freaked and Melissa was looking mildly bored. "Well, can't you just get the Admiral to show them off?" I asked. "She can't be bothered." I didn't blame her. "Well, how about I just give them the boot?" I said. "What?" A month ago, I had alluded to the fact that I had 'awakened' into my true form--a form I kept intentionally vague. Except that I was powerful, and elementally opposite to Parrier: water to his fire. And, due to long nights spent following folklore and mythology on the internet (a hobby), Parrer was likely impressed with my knowledge. I also stopped asking questions about how the world works, and Yes, after a while Parrier began to ask me questions about his worlds. So, instead of dithering around, speculating about Autobots and Decepticons, I just shut my eyes, spent two minutes really still and 'concentrating', and 'kicked' those Decepticons away! "Done." I said, and met Melissa's eye. She nodded. Fairly certain she was getting tired of bullshit, too. Thus, we freed the evening from 'pondering about the Decepticons' to one in which we can do something Parrier did not really want to: legitimately hang out and play games like Spyro and Mario Cart. Ever after, whenever Parrier started bullshit, I'd 'switch' into my alter-ego and subtly snap him back. Or use the opportunity to reveal my 'darker' past, which include drowning things and devouring them because, really, I'm a horse-loving-girl at heart, and Kelpie folklore was just too perfect to resist. I might have even implied that I drowned him in a former life. EDIT: Forgot to mention that Parrier legitimately thought the Decepticons were in the surrounding vehicles as we walked through a parking lot. "OMG LOOK AT THAT BLACK SCOOTER? IT'S (insert name of decepticon)!" Melissa was just going along with it, it seemed. la_fausse_tortue fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Dec 14, 2011 |

Totally Real Abductions I mentioned abductions (the same thing Denise called “posession”) before, but I didn't really talk about exactly what that meant or how that happened. It started out, like most of it did, relatively believable. A GA could manipulate Summer's hands into writing a note, for example. And if I concentrated really hard and tried really hard, I could totally do it too! So we passed the time in Driver's Ed this way, passing notes back and forth like normal teenage girls, except the GAs joined into the conversation. We'd write in different handwriting for different GAs. Pretty harmless. Then one day I answered the phone.  Snapdragon? Oh hi Summer, my your voice sounds deep this evening. What's up? Snapdragon, it's Piccolo. We have a problem. Piccolo???? What??? I've abducted Summer's body. The enemy kidnapped her and we have to get her back.Now, I don't remember the exact details of this conversation and this particular battle, but this “Summer's been kidnapped so I'm in her body” scenario definitely happened, probably more than once. Through writing this, I've been wracking my brain trying to remember how she fought battles while we were on the phone, and I'm just this minute remembering. When Summer's body was abducted by a GA, sometimes Summer herself would become a GA. Summer was now free to be her “GA self,” as she called it, and she could go around fighting enemies or whatever. It was around this point that GA sort of became its own thing and no longer seemed representative of the term “Guardian Angels.” So now Piccolo, in Summer's body, would tell me what “Summer,” as a GA, was doing. Or Summer would tell me when she got back to her body. It depended on the circumstances. I guess this was a step better than fighting the air. I say sometimes this would happen, though, because it was not consistent. Depending on which was convenient for Summer at the time, sometimes when she was abducted she'd just remain a presence in her own mind. When we had sleepovers at whoever's house, all the GAs would sort of get together for a big stupid anime slumber party. Summer would tell me who was doing what as we played imaginary truth or dare and created romances and dramas between different GAs. When these abductions started, now all sorts of different GAs could abduct her and talk to me. It was like having a slumber party with Sybil, if she'd been into anime and making the whole thing up. To show me when a GA abducted her, she'd close her eyes really tight for a few seconds. The same happened when they "un-abducted" her. This didn't always apply when enemies abducted her though! Because I wasn't supposed to know about that! I'll talk about enemies abducting her later. The image of Cell from DBZ talking to me on the phone through a teenage girl's body about how we'll never defeat him deserves its own post. Abductions got weird Because they weren't weird enough already. Remember how I said that GAs could manipulate our hands to do things in real life, like write notes? Well, we were sitting in her room one day and... Hey Snapdragon.... Yeah? Do you....do you think...that Piccolo could borrow your hands to...brush my hair?I thought it sounded weird but didn't want to be a jerk and say no. So I brushed her hair, but of course I had to make it seem like her husband-who-adored-her was doing it, so I had to do it all gently and romantically to make it believable. It. Was. So. Awkward. I never did this again. It should be mentioned that Summer told me that I had an anime husband too. Sometimes he would abduct her body, but we would just talk like normal people. It didn't happen often, and no creepy hair brushing happened then. I never asked for it. Because it was creepy. Q: Snapdragon, if Summer could totally see, hear, and feel these GAs like they were real, why would she care if Piccolo used your hands or his own hands with an invisible GA brush? A: I. DON'T. KNOW. I asked her this once, and she explained that while she could totally “feel” GAs, they didn't quite feel like a real person. I still think it's stupid and the biggest piece of evidence I have that she was making it all up.

This thread. Man, this thread. It's almost a little reliving to find people that have gone through stuff like this, and scary as well. I guess I never knew there was that many crazy people out there. My ex was not nearly as bad as people you write about, I guess thankfully. She was just obsessed with foxes and Kurama from the anime YuYu Hakusho. She believed she could communicate with him. She would frequently go on about how she and him were going to get married and how she was going to have him have sex with Hiei and they'll have little kitten foxes somehow. This happened while we were still dating. I don't have any particular stories to tell, she was fairly normal aside from well, that.

It's literally blowing my mind how so many people go batshit insane in this fantasy world. I would dream about stuff like this at such a young age but...to believe it, to live it, to convince your partner and friends that this is all real? And one of them is a therapist?? The worst that ever happened to me is my friend wanted to play "Cloud and Sephiroth" and that led to an awkward 13 year old kiss. We were both girls :/ We weren't really friends for much longer.

I don't see why he's obligated to have a spirit animal that has been on the continent for hundreds of years or whatever that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. He said that some elder in his tribe told him to be like a tiger (or something like that), so he did.
