I have a partner that has absolutely nothing to do with plurality beyond thinking that it's interesting

Everything I read in Mon's Dialectical Tulpamancy thread I agree with a lot and find validating, but they have decided to color code it with white and black in a way that makes reading it miserable, so I am confused by the experience of extreme rage at the difficulty to get through each line because of whatever mental disability we have causing reading the text in the presented fashion to be extraordinarily grueling, but also finding fascinating everything they say, once we can figure out what he is actually saying. Because different system members have spent time on and off trying to read his cursed post over the past month it has existed, and it has caused each of my headmates much guilt and suffering not finishing it. I don't blame them, because they have devised the perfect way to make the reading experience as miserable as possible, irrespective of the content. Maybe we are genuinely "retarded" in a clinical sense, or something, but I have spent the past 6 hours trying to read their post, and in doing so I have experienced suffering of such a degree I am losing my neutral alignment. I find complaining a miserable thing to do, but I find reading that article exponentially more despicable to the degree that I will forgive my own complaining. My last shreds of discipline prevent me from saying far worse things. An extraordinarily fascinating article that requires crawling over glass for hours over the course of weeks to digest. vlc_KiH0v4psLA.mp4 It probably resembles Goku in how fighting Vegeta is simultaneously the most exciting battle of his life while also being the most intense suffering and pain he has felt in his life. At least for Goku, he is a skilled fighter who got the reward of getting the upper hand on Vegeta several times. In our case, it's nothing but pain and wanting to admit ourselves to some home for the mentally incompetent or the criminally insane.

Bedy by time soon, good night, everyone! 😊

Alas.

there are apperntly degrees in cinematography. That sounds like a solid chance for that to be a possible subject, lol. Pain. Really sucks how fandoms can be.

I wonder what major could include a thesis regarding Dragonball as a graduating subject. Not that it matters. We will never go to college. I also don't think we are particularly special in examining it, though we haven't seen others examine it in the same way we do. Whether it is because we are wrong or stale in our observations, or if we have something novel to contribute, I do not know. I prefer focusing on the joy the observations and assessments bring, rather than how other fans or people in general might interpret them, other than interesting discussion it might bring. Unfortunately, fandoms consist of... *have an opinion* other fan: you are seriously retarded for not thinking in the mainstream way youtube says is correct and we can't talk if you have that opinion Such a curse.

Oh! I hope you have fun! 😊 Not us. It's just me and Nightfall on that side. It is enjoyable to listen to. 😊 I learn so much whenever you ramble, lol. Lol. I don't understand either. They sound complicated.

Zero. Basically. My host's local best friend is... maybe a system? They identify themselves as having Dissociative Identity Disorder, based on the fact they have various identities with different feelings on subjects, but to our understanding, that is not what DID is. We don't confront them on that though, because they get defensive and angry when that fact is questioned. They seem to have a disdain for intentional plurality, but know of us, and give us a pass for probably being a lifetime long friend, or something. I don't really understand. Even if they were a system, they aren't a significant other. But there is no one in "real life" that remotely understands the idea of what we do on this forum.

@KarlYoshimura I was comparing dubs, as one does. These are ice shavings for a drink from the top of an iceberg to demonstrate how many differences exists, being such a short clip. A small sense of just how different of a show English DBZ and Japanese DBZ is. Funimation with the Johnson Score (Bruce Faulconer started making music in the Ginyu Saga (or his 3 associates anyway, of whom he takes all the credit for.) Japanese with subs and Kikuchi's score. These dialogue differences are not in key places. Every moment of the show has dialogue that is either partially or entirely different. It's almost as if there exists several different versions of the show. I haven't included the Ocean Dub, which is even more sanitized in places. The Ocean Dub is still famous for the "Over 9000!" meme, though, and has a small cult following that actually enjoys it the most. There also is a large population who only likes the Funimation Dub, as they feel the voices fit the characters best, and even if the dialogue is changed to the degree as to be unrecognizable, it still can work for people. In fact, I'd say there are several scenes where my host might say Funimation did a better job with the dialogue than the Japanese. Vegeta's atonement comes to mind. (This could be a result of nostalgia, but the English "Bulma, Trunks, I do this for you... and yes, even you, Kakarot" creates a sense of frission stronger than "Sarabada, Buruma, Torankusu, Soshite, Kakarotto" which would translate to "Farewell, Bulma, Trunks, and Kakarot" Many westerners struggle to get into the Japanese version due to the Son family being voiced by an elderly woman. In the west, it seems to really be a dichotomy of you hate her or you love her. TB grew up primarily with Sean Schemmel, the Funimation Goku voice actor. However, upon watching it in Japanese, we can't separate Goku or the male members of the Son family from Masako Nozawa, and find her representation of Goku to be truly who he is. Despite the actor being the same, she does an amazing job at demonstrating how different of a person Goku is from Gohan, Goten, and Bardock, as well as Turles. In English, they have different actors. Any one of us could go on about the nuances of how these characters are presented in Japanese and how Masako Nozawa skillfully communicates the intricacies of these characters in her performance. I went off topic... Sorry for my rambling. We would speak so much more on it... but it doesn't feel like the place. We would be better off learning how to compose videos as an outlet to all we want to say about these things, probably. One Thousand and One Nights.

On my way to meet my sort-of girlfriend. Sort-of because... real world relationships, messy stuff. But anyway, excited! Random question: how many of you have significant others outside of headspace? I know three systems in real life and two of them only have exclusive relationships among themselves, the third's host is my girlfriend. I wonder how skewed this data is.

How many good night?

Good nights

Good night, ring! 😊

Goodnight

We talked about this in our drive home tonight, and she teased that she could go back to that pony form, before actually doing it and semi-imposing herself onto my peripheral vision My honest reaction (although I'm not into ponies anymore she was cute)

Lol.

awake still, huh

You drew a rough sketch before to communicate the idea. In context of touch imposition, though. In retrospect, it is good for presence imposition also. Also Gotenks' walk.

Felt his aura from 3 pages away

idk

Apparently Grimace is a taste bud Why's he purple then

I will if we talk enough. 😄

I won't remember names without a signature

Hi, Ashley! 😊 Nice to see you again!

Cold noodles can be thrown into noodle salad if you have some leafy greens, mozzarella balls and salad dressing
