Sorry for being one big otaku, talking a lot about anime and games and stuff. ^^; But it’s all still sort of relevant, as their pretty dark and sad… Plus one user (Agnostic Angel I think) was talking about Celeste and put the “Fun and Interesting” tag to it, so I thought I would to. :p
Who knows, maybe you’ll find all the things I share like a hurt/comfort fic, and I can help all of you find something nice to get into. ^^;
Anyways, I’ll probably do a lot more in the future… though I feel pretty anxious and numbed out right now, I’m kind of scared of said future and don’t really know what to do for fun anymore… I just wish I wasn’t lonely and had friends… but for those who are enemies, I also kind of feel like this, the girl in this scene…
Anyways, I was going to quote the whole thing too for the hell of it. :p
“”The Town Without Me”, by Kayo Hinazuki. When I get bigger, big enough to go somewhere by myself, I want to go to a land that’s far away. I want to go to a faraway island. I want to go to an island that has no people. I want to go to an island that has no pain or sadness. There are no adults, children, classmates, teachers or my mom on that island. On that island, I can climb a tree when I want to climb, swim in the sea when I want to swim, and sleep when I want to sleep. On the island, I think about the town that I left behind. Kids go to school, as if nothing has changed. Adults go to the office, as if nothing has changed. Mom eats, as if nothing has changed. When I think about the town without me, I feel a sense of relief. I want to go far, far away.”

In the game, SMT: Nocturne, one of the main characters plans to create a world where everyone lives by themselves in their own paradises. Where everyone is completely separated from each other, but have everything they need for themselves. I always found that concept a little interesting.
I know, I’ve heard of that! :O
I think it was the Reason of Musubi, and it’s based on Solipsism, where you’re the only one eho can be determined to be real, everything else around you id fake.
But if the original person who came up with that is real and considers you fake, how can you have self-awareness enough to think you’re real and that their the fake one? 😕 It feels like a contradiction…
Still an interesting concept though…
Never read the manga but I watched the anime (of Erased) and thought it was amazing until the last episode. The trampoline scene was the final spit in the face. Steins;Gate is still the best anime, I don’t make the rules.
The manga ending actually changed the last arc a lot though the ending is ultimately the same on who the mc ends up with and his new future. :p
It seems like some people aleeady know what this is. :3
I feel like I shoukd edit my posts about these mangas to properly explain what they are though insteas of the parts I wanted to quote…
Basically, Erased here s a time travel thriller with small possibly romantic themes, and Oyasuni Punpun is like a really dark coming of age story for adults that’s… another genre altogether. Sort of a slice of life, sort of a romance, but mainly something I can’t really describe to be honest.
