Has anyone else found themselves falling in love with someone in those memories we all get? That might feel a little extreme, but the face has been sticking with me for a while now.

i'm still getting used to it
my memories are mostly just strange
and the city itself is a mess
but i still find it pretty endearing so far

there aren't many greater crimes than being boring after all

my philosophy is closer to "live so beautifully that it burns people's eyes out"

but that's a part of it

maybe!
i've lasted 36 years at least
and i have yet to have my desire to live forever be interrupted
so i'm doing pretty great so far

there's no point in not trying at least
and besides with advancements in modern medicine who knows what will be possible in my lifetime

assuming that i don't get fancy superpowers to go with those big plans of mine
i haven't gotten any yet
maybe retrospec dislikes me

i wanted to be a very bad person in a very ambitious way
so i was either very smart
very rich
or had very nice powers

i also remember time just stopping sometimes
so maybe i had fancy time powers

[personal profile] diamant 2018-08-17 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
yes exactly

thank you by the way
for not being weird about the whole bad person thing
some people don't seem to take that well

i was trying so hard to be a supervillain for some reason
complete with ranting about my motives in a vague way to someone who wasn't even listening
so if it's any consolation i was hitting every cliche in the book
while i was apparently trying very firmly and earnestly to end the world
no idea if i actually did it or not
if i didn't then that's kind of a shame but no great loss
if i did then well
i guess i know why i'm here now don't i

[...welcome to the Experience, elda.]

it almost makes me hope i didn't manage
that would be a little much even by my standards

[...]

if you want me to be entirely honest
and not just flippant about it
thats probably because it isn't

i thought i had something to gain from it
ending the world i mean
i said i would get back everything i lost
i'm not sure how ending the world was conducive to that
that seems a little
i don't know
counterproductive?

you can say that it was stupid
i promise i won't be offended
