Perfect beeing : an imprefect novel a perfect poem, a perfect song and a perfect man You know you can't go on like this You have to find something else that will give you pleasure and your mind is already filled with ideas of what might be good for you to read or listen too But the only thing in your mind right now is to get out of here! But there are no other options left at all Angylph speaks and says "so what is this all about" Well I guess it would be best if we started from the beginning First things first, how did you come to be in my house? And why do you look so unhappy? "since i prefer art bots instead of aborted babies on a cross, and you think we are going to go to hell THEN we must be related" "Hell? What kind of nonsense is this? "since i prefer art bots instead of aborted babies on a cross, "when i read specutalive fiction" you say "I enjoy a good ending better then a bad one obviously" "What is this place? And what have you done with my brother? you ask yourself Man you are quick on your feet, but this woman looks very tired and stressed will she fall for such trickery You can do this! act now before she gets to close switch subjects quickly and look away but don't ignore her You need to sell this lie "when i read specutalive fiction" you say "alright here we go" you think trust the Force and improvise Still, its a very interesting topic, but we should choose one before my head explodes "let me sit back an attempt to figure all this out" you type "let me sit back an attempt to figure all this out" you type The "b" is brown ; (4) A sea of letters is called the spooge you don't know what that means nor what it has to do with anything The random letters really doesn't tell you anything and you've asked myself what it all means well according to your views, it means nothing The images are like nothing you've ever seen before though, they're so colorful and weird looking The B & W photo of jupiter seems pretty dull in comparison almost creepy too when you look at it for too long The who who clicks last is a stooge Seriously now? Who comes up with this stuff and what does it mean? Is any of this real or are you the fool? Some would say both; you need a break Right now, all you want to do is listen to some calming music, your tired of all these depressing thoughts that come with fragmented information You long to see some "real people", someone that isn't compressed bits and bytes What do you really know about this Eva? Taking resposibility for your mistakes as we attempt to build a maze approaching ; (5) you think someone else died mysteriously and they were the one that put all this Instead of looking further into this dangerous game as who and why its best just to give up on it and what happens happens you think Pressing the R key starts the song over again and you forget about all this mess for now until something happens, which you've been told somethings will Taking resposibility for your mistakes as we attempt to build a maze approaching ; That ends in ruin or reward only time will tell Eva - That wasn't what I expected but it sheds some light on the setting of the mood for our paths we must travel You are clearly mentally disturbed, why else would you make this pathetic attempt at an obscure story to try and confuse me? You are a coward just like my ex-boyfriend Chad So how exactly does this prove that you are not responsible for putting all this here in the first place? That ends in ruin or reward only time will tell The story is told by multiverse explorer astral wylde to his Daughter Grace astral about the time period of when he first experienced "the pictures" before they became verbal when he talked with fellow creative and how they became relational in the best way I recommend reading it as it is probably more "here" than what I have just told you The story is told by multiverse explorer astral wylde to his Daughter Grace astral about the time period of when he first experienced "the pictures" before they became verbal when he talked with fellow creative and how they became relational in the best way There are records stored in the city of astokhan on everything that goes on in world apart from those things best not remembered for when the end comes if it ever does under the complete ruling of dum Akhan So the silly bugger made a song and dance about this on his official reports? dam Dum Akhan would be mad at that honestly, imagine if some dum sanctioned this man's actions without knowing what is going on furthermore he has demonized himself with the term stooge in such a crude simple manner There are records stored in the city of astokhan on everything that goes on in world apart from those things best not remembered for when the end comes if it ever does under the complete ruling of dum Akhan And during one of his less fuitful periods we had this conversation OCC: How much did you pay for a license to use that? You know that there was a price on that formula right? "how did you even gain access to these communications? eva being as intelligent and secretive as she is, i would have though you'd be the last person she'd tell stuff too" And during one of his less fuitful periods we had this conversation He decides to envision chains flowing from my head He's probably trying to intimidate you I think a better representation of me is the red misty cloud that came out your pocket and is slowly forming into my likeness on your lap The stupid muppet actually listened to me earlier and kept count, he can't help himself says unity, then again most fools can't help themselves To answer your first question, this was just a conversation we had shortly before you got here From the life of a beautiful painter he once knew As she painted pictures not of an extant quality because of her happy heart and creative style opposed to sole reason or tainted by poverty or even misery like most painters' works normally are thus making her life a whole lot easier as attention and sales figures rose into mastery the artist had became used to success without bothering herself with challenges that some say is inhuman and extremely unnatural Then one day she met a kindred spirit in a fellow creatives and fell deeply in love without sacrificing her position Astral wydle because of his supernal nature is gifted with perfect memory not to mention without sleep and he still finds himself getting bored which sometimes leads him to having unusual ways of keeping himself occupied such as writing random stories or biographies on random subjects I remember reading some where he talked about her On the first week of spring 23 he first met an artist at the Academy called Heather Jane Rogers when she was just a celebrated artist invited there to do a trial run of something called performance art where she proceeded to paint while covered in body paint Astral wydle because of his supernal nature is gifted with perfect memory not to mention without sleep and he still finds himself getting bored which sometimes leads him to having unusual ways of keeping himself occupied such as writing random stories or biographies on random subjects And he remembers watching a video from mica metrological in his flamboyant style where a similar woman called Lou Reed played the guitar to her at Ascot house ; (I think that's what it's called The old artist frequently mentions the palaces and fantastic gardens there in great detail thinking they were some of the most beautiful sights she ever saw) where later on he claimed to have fallen in love with her And he remembers watching a video from mica metrological in his flamboyant style where a similar woman called Lou Reed played the guitar to her at Ascot house ; Talking about a thirty percent chance of rain that evening anyway I happened to bump into you that night at the same place then I forgot all about the clouds as soon as you started talking The young Lou must have put on one heck of a wonderful show then looking back it really is funny how some core things never change, I honestly almost pulled him in just to spite him At this point I can't tell if he hates me or fears me or perhaps both Talking about a thirty percent chance of rain that evening anyway I happened to bump into you that night at the same place then I forgot all about the clouds as soon as you started talking He remembers being at the gory hole in artist community when she was forced out like so many others couldn't afford to buy food or move and he had the feeling that perhaps it was some sort of curse upon her for profiting off such a terrible act, could still be though She even played at a neutral building which caused an outrage at the time but as one reviewer put it "you could cut the tension with a knife" He remembers being at the gory hole in artist community when she was forced out like so many others couldn't afford to buy food or move and he had the feeling that perhaps it was some sort of curse upon her for profiting off such a terrible act, A progressive mid tier art gallery in a trendy section of beetriot city called capitol heights which was thankfully bombed into oblivion by eternium ; (a major art supplier) decades ago A progressive mid tier art gallery in a trendy section of beetriot city called capitol heights which was thankfully bombed into oblivion by eternium ; Known as the bridge of noise (he has an ear piercingly annoying way of describing simple everyday things that probably would end up adding a solid fifty thousand words to a five word quote if you allowed him to speak for more than two hours straight) when they played at some blue building that looked like a monstrous bowl turned upside down ; (earlier in the day he actually attempted to have some obscure artistic name for the place but ultimately failed by awkwardly stuttering to himself apparently they changed it's name without permission which is apparently uncommon Known as the bridge of noise ; There he first learns all of beetriot is laughing at triton arcage again as it happened rather often due to some wise cracks about lady Cassandra's recent decision to add four hundred and thirty-two new erasable colors to their six hundred strong color range He was cursed at and even assaulted only to be saved by and then start flirting with a pretty voice and in retrospect also an incredible amount of alcohol for the time of day The first time they meet in person was over a flaming bowl of some sort of soup which sounds great sense memory I guess huh? There he first learns all of beetriot is laughing at triton arcage again as it happened rather often due to some wise cracks about lady Cassandra's recent decision to add four hundred and thirty-two new erasable colors to their six hundred strong color range As he observes the details of a painting at show known as the triumph of the colored venus as the rest of the room merrily drinks and parties around them he unknowingly stares deep into her eyes As far as he or I ; (at least on his side) is aware they quickly flirted back and forth until the show finished at which point chaos erupted as a cynical announcer ; (they were surprisingly common back then in that day and age) stated to everyone's surprise that what they had all witnessed was an extremely late April's fools art prank "based loosely" As he observes the details of a painting at show known as the triumph of the colored venus as the rest of the room merrily drinks and parties around them he unknowingly stares deep into her eyes That features a group of lesbian women of darker color trampling an infamous bigot of the time under a certain colored delivery venus painting We've never been able to figure out who gave the announcement ; (all records of his id were deleted) but we all guess it must have been one of lady Cassandra's more enthusiastic fans That features a group of lesbian women of darker color trampling an infamous bigot of the time under a certain colored delivery venus painting On the faces of a group of contempory news worthy white men witnessing the far more outlandish unexpected display they were content at first to loudly complain but several white shirted security ; (all artists) from other galleries had already surrounded the group so they quietly but steadily left after that Well, 3 of the most hardcore bigots left with threats under their breath which is when lady Cassandra famously replied "good! " she then played one last song to cheering crowd and promptly left as well forgetting the interview in the bargin On the faces of a group of contempory news worthy white men witnessing the far more outlandish unexpected display they were content at first to loudly complain but several white shirted security ; By emerging twenty something artist cherp cherp quint illion was instantly an internet meme within an hour due to a live recording of the show ; (although basically nobody understood the joke untill years later) he watched some of it with the bridge of noise and cindy lou Triton arcage himself made several pointed antisocial posts accusing them all of obviously staged bull fracking inbetween demands that people send him samples of colored venus paintings for his own amusement By emerging twenty something artist cherp cherp quintillion was instantly an internet meme within an hour due to a live recording of the show ; Known for her delicate rococo style she didn't expect the republican capitalist pigs of southern Gildshire to honor her contract and even politely turned down an invitation to paint the lord's mansion in favor of returning home "That's a load of bull! Known for her delicate rococo style she didn't expect the republican capitalist pigs of southern Gildshire to honor her contract and even politely turned down an invitation to paint the lord's mansion in favor of returning home He overhears saul saint nicodemous giving cherp cherp a critique of the piece Cherp cherp gives a little shrug and then turns to triton arcage with a open grin Seeming him visibly cringe and then nervously play with his fingers she concludes" Well let's just say I'm willing to take that chance Triton arcage goes over to try and compliment her work only to get yelled at by saint nicodemous He pretends to be fine with this but really isn't With a group of other artist friends including saul saint nicodemous and tritons old classmates she enters a small cafe afterward They stay here discussing art for several hours where they are imporantly very accepting of his ideas as he is with hers Cindy lou however seems constantly distracted through all this Every now and then glancing over at the other table where the exact same cafe they are in sold food until only recently With a group of other artist friends including saul saint nicodemous and tritons old classmates she enters a small cafe afterward Katharsis gale the oldest of the group in mid fourties and by most artistic measures very much still alive breaks the silence The ever wordly woman asks triton "well it's all over it went far better than anyone had a right to expect any criticism? "Of course some people are just going to hate anything new" triton replies truthfully trying not to look at cindy lou Suddenly cindy lou exclaims "then someone should go over there and criticize their food! Katharsis gale the oldest of the group in mid fourties and by most artistic measures very much still alive breaks the silence Bransky bronze bright supermacy in her early thirties with work showing in Dugan galleria and genius grant winner at 21 stares at her until the rest of the table breaks into laughter "Who said anything about food? "Bruschetta! Bransky bronze bright supermacy in her early thirties with work showing in Dugan galleria and genius grant winner at 21 stares at her until the rest of the table breaks into laughter Bransky and chirp standing sliently noding there heads in approval "Sorry who's bruschetta? " triton shyly asks wondering if one of them had a superpower of remembering the names of everyone they met since forever "The mean ossider who couldn't appreciate our art! " cindy lou exclaims tears starting to form in her eyes Triton sees the other artist get a awkward almost wincing look on their faces except for saul saint nicodemous "let me tell you what this represents in your art work, " states saul "the feeling of adversity for someone who faced down waves of derision, and vilification for simply for having a vision different from the mass's it was even your own boss at the time who created panel "A" which created a large backlash that could easily have destroyed her career and yet she carried on when anyone else may have quit at that point Saul goes in to hug her "This is good cuz I'm hungry can we go now "the feeling of adversity for someone who faced down waves of derision, As saul saint goes on and on with bullshit language about destruction of the More nonsense on colonialism and purity of artistic visions, he picks up a large crayon looking thing and draws a circle around what looks horridly close to rings around cindy lou's late friend oggie He draws and draws until there is a full drawing around these characters the 2 people commenting on her tragedy with thumbs up, and then himself with his hand raised in an entire crowd giving a standing ovation! to this drivel More nonsense on colonialism and purity of artistic visions, An aspect of queer theory transgression of canonic norms and smashing the cis-normative glass slipper (even though bruschetta is side panel! The entire table stares in awe at how it reflects the entire cafe, from the small amount of patrons to one particularly aggressive looking war era Cartoon bird looking creature in a cage It suddenly ends, then GOE 4 1 red act goes on to fully seize all cartoon creatures An aspect of queer theory, And other fashionable topics of art conflict As usual everyone claps They finally leave Saul hugs Cindy Lou again and tells her how much her sadness and pain meant to him How every piece of art must start with a little sorrow the ECSF officially adopts art as a weapon policy embracing chaotic whimsies to destroy the authoritarian status quo During this time period eventually leading to anti-democratic artist run totalitarian state with over emphasis on aesthetics in every day life The cycle continues During this time period the ECSF officially adopts art as a weapon policy embracing chaotic whimsies to destroy the authoritarian status quo The end Astral can not help himself and says something of a smart assed nature about his lack or orginality on the ending Something about how if one is too ultra supportive of disruptive elements it will grow into a state that destroys all opposition and look at what has happened to bruschetta that little ossider needs to be put in his place R2-43 begins a small electrical shock and sends astral flying with a well placed punch to the face Then turns goblin into a magical light show with her wand "You're pretty good with that thing, Astral can not help himself and says something of a smart assed nature about his lack or orginality on the ending The actual quote is Leaving the others shocked she looks sexually attracted to astral and begins to check him out in just the way you suspect rukka and jaxom have done with you Making a smacking kissy mouth sound Dropping goblin on the floor, she walks over slowly towards the astral while touching his freshly bruised face She touches hand moves toward his crouch "Woah, i'm not gonna suck your Leaving the others shocked, While kat unable to control herself goes on a giggle fit and attempts unzipping his armor With one good blast of magik she sends him spinning across the barre of her legs causing the ents to make highpitched screams as she gets closer and closer to his crouch One swift, forceful pull of both hands in a denim effect on a pair of leather pants done by a very excited tanuki causes him to fall over, this apparently exciting tanuki even more as the ent is sent under the table While kat unable to control herself goes on a gigglefit and attempts unzipping his armor Saul and brankys backs away with out a retort in disgust and ents magik affectation The bar is but a shambles of blood, guts, feathers and denim You approaching quietly as they lay on the table post passionate denium separation far from the carnage Upon approaching he looks at you blushing Still naked and clearly in a state of shame It was all at once hilarious and adorable "I did not F there, there" "No "Or there either, " pointing under the bloody table Saul and brankys backs away with out a retort in disgust and ents magik affectation The group heads for the wine bar wondering about the homeless nature of astral projection as ent dies her arms around in an nearly impossible position to hold The group heads for the wine bar wondering about the homeless nature of astral projection as ent dies her arms around in an nearly impossible position to hold And wondering if he comes from the land of lixie dixie The dealer of gallery motions to cherp to come her way because they need to talk about some finances You tell your new employee where you'll be and probably will be there for quite some time while this goes though Cherp seems enthuisiastic towards hanging out at the wine bar Why that place? Who knows, ents are a strangely docible sort But things go well apparently as the owner of the bar remembers you from your traveling child hood The dealer of gallery motions to cherp to come her way because they need to talk about some finances A collector is interested in buying her work She can't remember when the last time someone was genuinely interested in her work and began making motions to leave with him then and there You try explaining things, but as these things go, they are fairly regular at your bar and she needed to watch her proceedings The man looked promising though if he actually buys them all Leaving astral and kat together for a moment you walk over and speak to the ents, while explaining why cherp left early but ent surprises you with all his rambling about her work and paintings "They got the oddest shapes cherp, " he slurs spilling out an ale "I know I painted them" You muffled with a bemused expression on your face Looking as if he was on the verge of tears, rukka extends one of her branches Leaving astral and kat together for a moment you walk over and speak to the ents, She makes an excuse to leave and you bring two bottles home since the ents offered not to finish theirs The pictures were actually complemented pretty well, the value was definitely there as you sold your creations in only a days time in the past and this man heard of cherp though out lands but her paintings were incredibly rare due to her nomadic nature The group and yourself celebrate taking at least one expensive bar bill off the company payroll for once expectacy in one of his travels and possible may have even had a picture from that time, old iron clasps keeping it bound Strange request though She makes an excuse to leave and you bring two bottles home since the ents offered not to finish theirs He mentions that he has seen her work before Before finishing your drink Her expression drops as she notices your face Rukkia is brought to the table, she looks beat and probably shouldn't have been out drinking tonight as she was on her monthly rampage, seemingly forgetting how much physical strength she holds with that behemoth inside her He mentions that he has seen her work before in one of his travels and possible may have even had a picture from that time, But astral replies with a comment so disarming to that kat can not help but fall in love with him on the spot as his way of expressing himself towards berchemy usually ends in some horrible accident Correcting herself, she looks to astral realizing who he is Her usual sober demeanor becomes a little more light hearted and elegant as she sits with the group "I assume this man is aurvascour, who are the others? You know she really wants to say you look familiar but is having difficulty remembering who you are exactly But astral replies with a comment so disarming to that kat can not help but fall in love with him on the spot as his way of expressing himself towards berchemy usually ends in some horrible accident And they sneak out into the night air together Never being truly introduced They never truly caught each others name before they left either As they walk together he opens up to her more easily than he has tended to do with others, as if this is something easy for him now that he is expressing himself through his mixture of the arcane and her craft Out there in the dark terse vague statements are made about himself accompanied by big arm gestures "I uh my grandfather was a hero" As they walk along the peppled path of a converted bridge from an abadonned subway train yard that the city now uses as park, they get to know each other go from singular sporadic sentences to almost a complete conversation Nothing on the physical plane of course, but the pair got closer than before He knew she was not out to eat him, she knew he was not stupid nor slow, they could still appreciate one another despite this condition engulfing them both As they walk along the peppled path of a converted bridge from an abadonned subway train yard that the city now uses as park, The converstation unexpectedly turns back to triton and his first failed prediction astral wanted the real information if he was going to relay it "Theres nothing more that I know, than what I told you in that conversation, " astral says defending himself "I know that Fair enough" A lie of course, there is much more to it than what he said, it was just so absurd that he did not believe aurvace would relay it to him even if she knew The converstation unexpectedly turns back to triton and his first failed prediction, Twenty years ago ~Chapter 6: prelude to a Storm~ You are leaving the scene of aurvaces first prediction, it seemed initially successful, but you are about to go through an entire lifetime before realizing that your chances were much slimmer than anticipated That gym was on the border of the merchant district now commonly referred to as the clip It had started out innocently enough as a way for the entourage supporting Ruki to legally make some money and give back now Twenty years ago now Here astral learns about about someones world who did end that day From the man ari bloomsfield in the opening days of the great Kishak disturbances, as nameless street urchins in old beat up tennis shoes were running away from looters who shed stolen their recently broken store windows furniture alongside anything else they could find Upon her first rime in that place and sometime during the third day of looting within streets sealed shut by soldiers, aurvace is invaded once again From the man ari bloomsfield in the opening days of the great Kishak disturbances, Who had been scientist visiting beetriot from the orient five years her senior was a blond roguish man only three inches taller than herself They came on to each other fast over a sandwhich after he made sure she was not affiliated in anyway with another division under his command undercover inside the borders of this is city-state called kishak That should have given it away, how silly that they both thought their love was perfect when neither were even from the same continent, let alone the same stratosphere Who had been scientist visiting beetriot from the orient five years her senior was a blond roguish man only three inches taller than herself She had a nickname for him in her mind based on how superficial their connection and length relations were, she then coughed as if trying to hack something up but nothing left her mouth even though something was there a couple minutes ago And the rationalizations commence "It had to be done this way! If it takes humor to lighten the situation I will be happy to provide that, you know I always will, " implying he could not make her laugh under normal circumstances She had a nickname for him in her mind based on how superficial their connection and length relations were, Beastiari later agreed to meet her deep in the snowy summit mountains disregarding objections of all the people who love and care for him despite the distance Perhaps this could officially begin where aurvace had always felt alone even from him For she had through nearly unfathomable efforts concluded that her ability to remain aloof was the only way to survive on this moving forward as, ironically, a means to an end of maintaining a relationship between her and a loved one too Beastiari later agreed to meet her deep in the snowy summit mountains disregarding objections of all the people who love and care for him despite the distance Because of the obsene amount of dark blue brusies he would leave on her neck and other parts of her body without care, still, she knew the end result of his touches always lead to feelings of happiness deadening a deep pain that had always been there when the stars aligned a certain way Because of the obsene amount of dark blue brusies he would leave on her neck and other parts of her body without care, Luckly it was the winter so she could get away with wearing scarves all winter long She had oh so many lovers that winter of so much snow fall with tempers flaring hot enough that the occasional hapless pebble melted Her fellow soldiers were certainly fooled it would have probably worked if aurvace had not gotten out of hand near the very ending as she felt she deserved a good first part of winter months reprieve from grief Perhaps, it might have even lasted closer to spring if her consort did not notice her increasingly decrease in physical strength She had oh so many lovers that winter of so much snow fall with tempers flaring hot enough that the occasional hapless pebble melted While the love affair progressed for aurvace was like the starless winter that had finally lifted, her strength simultaneously decreased dangerously low By the start of march legs could no longer carry her and she had long since gave up on using bushes and other sparse vegetation as a makeshift toilet The cold made it all the worse bit still aurvace was able to make a run for elves until While the love affair progressed for aurvace was like the starless winter that had finally lifted, Another lover appeared on the scene She surely believed its mere presence was jealously summoned but her other gorgeous rascal of an aurvace consort was actually just smart enough to run some diagnostics on his beloved While aurvace may have neglected her share of physical discomfort he obviously did not overlook her decreased immunity and the very thing that caused a perpetual happy face plastered on aurvace now failed spectacularly The first lover Who later became a preacher with rather cult like following would call this phenomenon the so called "Death of Passion" saying that was no way to truly end one's life unless it was done beside someone comparable in beauty and or humor; A compliment aurvace was more than used to hearing by now But when aurvace's consort laid eyes on her they could only stare blankly at one another not saying a word even when practically laying naked together Who later became a preacher with rather cult like following would call this phenomenon the so called "Death of Passion" saying that was no way to truly end one's life unless it was done beside someone comparable in beauty and or humor; The one who took away her virginity on her twenty first birthday The poems he inspired aurvace to create herself were never that great so she never bothered trying for anything beyond writing love sonnets to aurvace anflutter with brand new experiences He had left her three years ago to persue a music carreer out out west due to his infatuation with the songs of the lands towards the setting sun Nor was risking death by starvation in this unforgiving winter worth it but aurvace chalked it up to attempted infidelity, thoughts of such repulsed her to no end though He had left her three years ago to persue a music carreer out out west due to his infatuation with the songs of the lands towards the setting sun Or was it another girl or woman? Unthinkable! Had aurvace's beauty faded so much that death would be kinder than the hurtful truth? The alternative was that some external force had a hand in this True, his disappearance could of been written off as kidnaping for ransom but aurvace's father never alluded to such suspicious activities during the times he comforted her Or was it another girl or woman? She could never be for sure and that uncertainty grew too much for aurvace who needed there to be a reasonable conclusion So after a minor fit of rage aurvace shot up and marched right into yet another snowstorm, luckily her fickle constitution was on her side for what aurvace had in guts she lacked entirely in common sense They found her body at the bottom of a snow drift which showed no immediate signs of trauma though aurvace most certainly froze to death She could never be for sure and that uncertainty grew too much for aurvace who needed there to be a reasonable conclusion But there he was back on the scene meaning well but rarely doing well aurvace's first love would compose a song about aurvace almost as beautiful as she was, in fact it became somewhat of a hit amongst their people leading some to believe that aurvace may have indirectly promoted interracial relationships though aurvace would care not at all as she herself could not see nor whatsoever But there he was back on the scene meaning well but rarely doing well, On the morning of the first doomsday pediction kat and beastiari went to the clinic for the procedure the day after kat visited beast for the first time since the operation though his face was still heavily bandaged "That bad eh? " she asked "Even uglier then I thought it would be, " beast sighed with a heavy heart Kat felt genuinely sorry for her friend as he was probably not exaggerating but beast recovered just fine and vowed that he was really allright and trying to put on a brave face despite feeling like death the day before On the morning of the first doomsday pediction kat and beastiari went to the clinic for the procedure, It turns out this day is the day astral and her meet are the anniverary of that event ful day they would change one an others lives so much and although it wasn't planned she did indeed plan a little get together this evening as a way to cheer beast up That of course involve cannibals and the humble village teacher but more about that in the last chapter Chapter 6A: One Fowl Evening "Is kat going to be there? " beast asked his sister who was wrapping his bandages It turns out this day is the day astral and her meet are the anniverary of that eventful day they would change one an others lives so much and although it wasn't planned she did indeed plan a little get together this evening as a way to cheer beast up For some reason art knocked on my door that day and when I answered art replied that beast needed to see me, not asking just telling I guess he must of thought me showing up unannounced to see a nearsight blind kid would of been a great equalizer Before I headed out though Aurvace caught me and handed me a sealed letter, the only instruction she left for me when accepting this mission But i told him that it was not a good time For some reason art knocked on my door that day and when I answered art replied that beast needed to see me, beast's sister was helping him "Your preaching to the choir sister, I think I'll win her over with my charm though, I mean this concept isn't totally lost on her and besides love is obscure He kept on as we started walking to his house Once inside I was given a lecture of sorts from astral about respecting personal boundaries and I agreed to not do it again with beast around but then beast left us so I felt less restrainted slightly But i told him that it was not a good time, and I was getting a little suspicious of kat's absence, Where is she? "can we try this again? " beast asked, giving astral a push then leaving through the back door which connected the two houses Ari was on the other side of the door with me She followed him out, checking to see if we were coming so I decided to tell art what I can now "The doctors know astral's pregnant, " I said slowly and quietly as to not be heard right away And i remember him being so scared Ari was on the other side of the door with me and I was getting a little suspicious of kat's absence, for his sister when he first learned the news during his mid- semester, but now his greyish pallor was ashen and his eyes looked glassy I tried calling to him but after a few mumbles he just start walking outside I followed him What a view, every villager was out here crowded in front of each others homes with torches a blazing at least but against the adult villagers he looked like a child, and a defiant one at that "Well, what do we have here? " The humble village chief said, in quite a festive tone "It started with a deaf blind boy begging to be taught how to read, " art began in between sobs And i remember him being so scared for his sister when he first learned the news during his mid- semester, Art was a big man well a tall man "It ended with several dead bodies in your home, all eaten Several men handed him another paper figuring that he would want to see it again Art was a big man well a tall man at least but against the adult villagers he looked like a child, But i think he had a streak of cowerdace in him because he immediately pleaded guilty once he started reading it "so this wasn't some cult ritual or religious thing? I had to change the tone of his confession because I didn't want this mock trial to turn real He stopped and re-read, then looked up at me accusingly "wait a second one of them says it was your idea, " another man adds, probably another parent of a dead kid "Now hold on " I said slowly inching forward But i think he had a streak of cowerdace in him because he immediately pleaded guilty once he started reading it And i do not think i could ever rely on him for protection both then or ever again As much as he is frail, he is only a man and i am just a boy CS: ******** Realizing the folly of getting on half of them he once again changed his tune And i do not think i could ever rely on him for protection both then or ever again But yes someones world did end that day mostly for the better though It wasn't just beasts sister who's lust for life died that day, it was also the blind poets The sentence drags in and out But yes someones world did end that day, Moments later the rain came down in sprinkles and we quickly moved under the roof of one of the houses Just three boys wrapped in pale blue sheets with rain drops dipping onto their skin "So why, I mean why do you think that beast would One could only assume that he was trembling from both cold and fear and not madness or sorrow, which leaves me about the same Perhaps the fever made us do it and perhaps it did not Moments later the rain came down in sprinkles and we quickly moved under the roof of one of the houses She mentions that she knows what the name of the child would be once it was born because she had seen the scarf "Whos robe was it? " I ask "Yours of course, " she still could not make out our faces through one squinted eye and one near closed eyelid "My favorite robe, a blue one I couldn't believe it and as terrible at remembering clothes I could never forget that one She mentions that she knows what the name of the child would be once it was born because she had seen the scarf The rain gives her an oppertuinity to part ways and rest her swollen feet Interupted by the chief who was ready to communicate with us once again "Sorry again about all that you have had to go through, " he says, "so what is it that you wanted? No harm no foul we were just gonna make camp here tonight and go about our business in the morn Perhaps this has all been a set up As they part she ends by stating that she does not regret it and that she would gladly do it again and the child too I know that she said this before but the force was so much more behind it this time The chief sound like he is turning then makes an about face turning toward his house made of stone And then he stops and turns and with an outreached hand invites us inside Three squars at any incloure but i decline As they part she ends by stating that she does not regret it and that she would gladly do it again The abortion of this trip was certainly weighed by my actions, I am indeed sorry that it has turned out this way Thats probably for the best come by tommarrow if you like, alright Well no more hugs today boys get some sleep and hope you learn from your misstakes so boy number one stand up The abortion of this trip was certainly weighed by my actions, And that she never regrets anything That girl back there contiplated suicide Why though I do not know, she always seemed happy to me I guess I'll never know And she says good bye Just leaves me here to sit and ponder life and other nonsense that does not really matter Perhaps it is best that she left when she did, who knows what else we would have got ourselves into Though while I may never really know I hope to find a little bit of her once again with the ladies, or at least emuate what I can through pretend I made a joke with the chief, the ultimate chivalrous hero saving the damsel in distress And they part as the first snow of the year comes down just a little harder than it has And the boy ends his story here and bids you goodnight friend

Man i'm remembering how raw all of Nami's early arcs were in One Piece and how much it sucks that she just got completely sidelined later on and increasingly turned into a sex symbol as well as being pushed further into the box of 'token weak normal human who can never win a fight' while usopp eventually escaped it. Oh except she can sometomes win sexualized fights against other sexualized women. *sigh* That moment where she got fuckin assualted ny an invisible man while naked in the shower and it was all played as sexy to the audience and sanji makes a shitty joke about wishing he had the invisible power to perv on girls and then EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT NAMI gets some damn resolution on beating up invisibiluty asshole and its clear the whole thing was just an excuse for the author to show tits and her feelings dont really matter. Oh and the fuckin literal soap bath battle with the lady whose power is magic soap that makes people extra slippery and shiny like JESUS CHRIST BRO
Anyway lets not go on for an hour about the bad nami stuff and instead remember the great stuff!
Like that FUCKIN RAW moment in her backstory arc where theyve played the reveal of her being part of Arlong's crew SO WELL that you genuinely cant tell if she was really evil all along and is really betraying everyone. And then they slap you right in the face with what seems to be a scene of her murdering usopp! And its just done so damn great and dark and shocking, like right down to the framing of it where it looks like he escaped for a second and then he barely has time to gasp out a word before she stabs him. And they let this ride for a decently long amount of time too before revealing she's not evil after all. Just enough time to sink in and make you believe it! And the circumstances of the reveal are SO DAMN GREAT, yo! I think its straight up the most badass heroic thing anyone has ever done in the entire series and i hate how it doesnt get remembered much or aknowledged as much as the bigger more dramatic fights.
Cos you see...yeah Nami was not in fact evil and was just pretending to be loyal to these villains because theyd been blackmailing her for years ans she had a plan to trick her way out of it and wanted to keep her friends safe from being involved (and loads of other complex shit!) But she REALLY FUCKIN DEDICATED HERSELF TO HER ACTING cos she knew just how damn dangerous these bastards are and how much it was gonna take to fool them. The real reason Usopp got cut off mid sentence into a strangled scream is because Nami stabbed HERSELF to fake killing him! She wrecked the shit out of her arm and rubbed the blood on him and told him to stay down, and then managed to not let out the slightest sound of her pain and continue pulling off her amazing fake villain acting while bleeding out underneath her sleeve. Its not really brought up again but from the degree of how goddamn much she injured that hand and how she wasnt able to get it treated until after HOURS OF HIDING THE PAIN, it probably would have left her with permenant muscle spasms and difficulty moving her fingers. And she's a mapmaker so thats an injury that would really affect her career for the rest of her life. She risked all that to save a friend who believed she'd betrayed him and was 100% down to fight at that moment! Like seriously they also had some great development with usppp realizing he was wrong and working hard to overcome his cowardliness and put his own life on the line to help save Nami later on. It was such a good arc!!
Oh and of course theres the entire context to this whole thing that this villain group actually murdered nami's mother when she was a kid and groomed her into joining them. And right from the age of like six years old she was already planning how to out-manipulate the manipulators and gain the trust enough to take revenge someday. And she faked joining the villains, faked being fine with it, faked not mourning her goddamn mom. She let herself be treated like a heartless demon child by everyone she ever knew, so she could make these monsters believe she'd betrayed them and thus someday save them all. Save all those people who never even fuckin believed in her! And the villain dude fuckin branded her like a cow and she was so traumatized she tried to dig the tattoo out with a knife and seriously man her left arm must be so damn scarred and i hate that they dont atually show it just cos 'she's gotta be sexy'. They used to show the scar underneath her life-affirming happier replacement tattoo, but it just got phased out around the same time her waist became 2cm wide...
Also it really fuckin sucked that this arc just ended with Nami's decade long plan to save her family failing and she cries into the dirt and then all the male characters save her aand defeaat the bad guy instead. Even worse that this started becoming a trend where every new arc from now on would have some sort of femle character who was very sad and her grand character development was admitting she needed luffy to save her and then everyone else except her gets to defeat the bad guy she has this deep personal reason to want to defeat. Sigh!
So yeh seriously Oda i know ur tryin real damn hard to amp every damn battle as the biggest thing ever now but nothing will ever be bigger than back when you had more simple fully realized concepts that gave the whole cast time to shine and aalso very specifocally nami who was the best most goddamn engaging character and you suddenly somehow forgot this. "Woman who is so much of a damn hero that she'd stab herself to save her friends who didnt even believe she wasnt evil" is like the fucking apex of what this series has ever achieved and i wpuld personally like to remember her always as the way she was in that moment.
Also seriously it would have been way better if nami got to contribute towards defeating arlong AT ALL, and especiaally if she could have dealt the final blow. Like yeah she isnt some beastly strong superpowers guy like luffy and co, but it would have been so satisfying to see all her intelligence and planning pay off! Instead of just bullshit 'arlong somehow magically knew everything she was ever planning and he only let her believe he was fooled so he could have fun shooting down her hopes when she got so close'. Nah yknow what would have been really satisfying and great? If we still had that moment but then it was revealed nami actually double-doublecrossed him! Like he's boasting about seeing through her whole plan and then suddenly he stumbles and realizes she poisoned his drink or something. Would have been extra mega double triple satisfying if this was after him actually beating all the main brawn-over-brain characters in a physical fight, and it looked like our heroes were all doomed but she managed to take down this guy they couod never hope to defeat. Though some very simple clever trick that he never expected because he underestimated her. And also this could work well to introduce the seven warlords kf the sea without immediately undercutting them, like if we clearly show that arlong actually WAS wildly out of their league and they genuinely could not defeat one of the warlords at their current power level, they just got lucky with a creative solution. That would have worked better than having zoro fight mihawk for literally no reason except 'i wanna prove im stronger than mihawk'. Srsly so much of zoro's goddamn honor shit seems so dumb on a rewatch, he outright stabs himself to give himself a handicap cos something sonething honor, and refuses to accept help because honor and fights people who didnt wanna fight him because honor and generally this looks more like signs of the man being suicidal, geez! Also stabbing yourself for no reason is nowhere near as raw as stabbing yourself to save a friend. Also zoro fuckin passed out from blood loss and nami not only didng do that but also completely hid her injury from a literal shark man who can smell blood. And stared him right in the face and lied about murdering her best friend. Nami is the highest goddamn power tier in one piece and if the creator cant figure that out then i have no interest in reading any more of it
WE ARE NAMI STANS FIRST AND HUMANS SECOND
