Okay, so I was playing Metal Gear Solid V, it’s a video game, and there was a cutscene where my character is escaping from a guy trying to kill him and there’s also a couple other random characters running too.
Thats the background here’s my “point.”
A random character falls down and grabs my foot and says “please save me I don’t want to die.” (He ends up dying, he was shot)
When I saw it I wondered, “why wouldn’t you want to die?” “Why are you struggling so much?” “What’s so valuable in your life that it’s worth you not wanting to die?” I know, I know I have a apathetic and depressed outlook because of my mental illness BUT let’s say that rando guy just had a divorce, he’s broke and work meaningless jobs, no friends (kinda like us) THEN I guess that cut scene wouldn’t be as dramatic and actiony because this dude when he falls wouldn’t say a word, he’d probably be like “fuck…eh whatever” or “what’s the point.”
I see this everywhere in Hollywood, horror movies, action movies etc. where the characters ALWAYS “help I don’t want to die” and I’m over here like “no there has to be those characters that just see it as a way out of their misery.”
idk guys I’ve been having severe OCD obsessions lately that’s affecting my recollection of my thoughts and slowly morphing into a language disorder. At the time I knew what I was thinking in my head but by the time I picked up my phone to put it here I lost it, but here’s it anyway.
(Oh yeah MGSV fans out there I know I left things out of the scene this story takes place but I had to shorten it)

I guess that in a storytelling aspect, the characters often plead for their lives to depict that something bad is going on here, and to assure the role of the killer as a villain. It just doesn’t feel as impactful if the bad guy shoots someone and the victim doesn’t blink an eye you know? But if the victim is crying and stating that they don’t want to die, and the shooter kills the victim anyway, we know that this is a bad person and a psychopath and blablabla. We don’t see characters embracing their death peacefully in fiction so often because of this. They’re just stories, no real life.
But yeah if you’re up to shooting me in the head please for god’s sake just do it
Idk I just hate the cliche it creates and find myself scoffing at it everytime I encounter it, like “who cares if you die” the whole begging and pleading like what you have is wonkas factory waiting at home, you die you might end up somewhere extraordinary, you live you will know you’re back to ordinary. Idk I might be talking out of my ass but I had to vent this out somewhere for reassurance
They were waiting for Peace Day. They had something to fight for.
Idk anything about the MGS story I was just using it as an example, it triggered the thought so I just thought I’d use the backstory but it really could’ve been anything else
Spectrum of pure malediction and amok, this is what they chose. A pure degenerate.
In the continuum. How does your own justice system, with brutal force, the deed has already been done. Arch-angel, unleash. To what they chose. If they still held back, then they have failed. How do you exile the insane, from your realm.
But there was no archangel in outer heaven.
I would of had, simply pondered… peacefully these magnitudes, but now I can’t even do so. With this much, I’ll learn how to build a castle, and just live as an example. Nah, I’m just going skateboard, new progressive… street with an 8.5, sitting on the plateau. So… how do we climb something like that. It’s going to be fun, and deathly, in safety, can it be done.
If not, we’ll get a balloon, and make this place our home, for the moment. It’ll be our secret mission.. and it was peaceful, without a trace of defile. We were travelers and explorers. Backpacks, books, and papers, and most likely, a powerful drone. Real life… training. Time to anchor, give me a pin-point, heck I don’t know any rule about, flying around. I’m sure that’s what they actually did, or still do.
I guess I’ll leave permanently from here, shades have been uncovered. And, it seems, appropriate, anyway. Haha. I’ll do what can, and I’ll leave. Hopefully you can fix your own degenerated realm.
tarot of heaven, malediction was killing
despite their being, surrounded by full sub-human, degenerates, and formatives.
ulterior, but no-more inferior, narrow figures, of pure insanity, the degenerated portrait of the devil, a pure killer and molestor. Was the entire realm of… sub-human, degenerates.
The book of Eli, is the book of your hell, on living life and innocent.
I’ve felt like I’ve been about murderered a few times. You know stuck with those with more sinister things in mind… at that point I realize… I don’t want to die at the hands of some sick stranger…. I don’t want to die with no control over the when and the where and the why…. yes I am suicidal if I had the supplies and I had it scheduled I would end my own life but when you aren’t ready you haven’t prepared your last supper, your last breath, you realize that you need more control than that. I guess that’s why I am suicidal I do not want communicable disease to take me, I don’t want to decay and I definitely don’t want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong motherf*ckers.
When something terrible happens and you realize everything is evil around you I guess the one lifeline you can hold onto is that you can end yourself before the evil takes you too.
