1. Perhaps Everyday Should Be Celebrated As Grimmer’s Birthday?

    Grimmer is a bright man who has a stubborn persistence in searching for the barefooted truth.  He is a well intentioned, fairly deceptively simple, fellow who has difficulties in expressing things like empathy and showing genuine emotion to others, which makes it hard to function in a world that has never seen so many people before. 

    However, he’s adamant in learning how to best to trust and hone his own unique instincts—namely for the sake of protecting passionate people in the world like Kenzo Tenma, he’s so adamant that he will do anything for the innocent and helpless, and it’s possible as a result, he appears to be growing better and better himself without noticing it. 

    He can be quite the humble and inquisitive man who’s tom-foolish one moment, awkward yet another moment, and powerfully attuned and wistful to so many things the next.  He seems to fit the definition of the suggestion, “The people who have laughed the most have experienced the most pain.” 

    But certainly with his ability to cope, his smarts, and resources he almost has all of the elements needed within him to find all the dragon balls to restore balance to this near lifeless and unbearable void! Oh, if only it were easy to somehow do the same to the annoyingly dark and persistent things such as the Magnificent Steiner like he could do to one very large fish with grace and skill. 

    At the last moment, he is able to regain something he recognizes as his humanity that some bastards had tried to erase.  He is also able to confirm that indeed his emotions have never actually gone—they’re just taking too long to arrive—but better late than never he cries! They have been kept hidden from him in a letter that has never been sent to him before!

    At last he opens it, it is such a curious thing! It is the most captivating letter ever; if only he were a poet, he could describe it! If only he could describe it all to everyone he had ever known, especially to his former wife, his son, and his best friend and only friend Kenzo Tenma over a picnic amongst the moon and the stars of the vast and endless universe full of sadness and death yes but also happiness and life…

  2. Frog Rain

    So in the early hours of the morning, I started off by thinking about the three frogs from the Three Frogs Building sign for no particular reason.  Not too long afterwards, I began visualizing more and more frogs to the point there was an army of them.  Next thing I knew there was an ocean of frogs and even a bunch of frogs falling from the sky. 

    So, now I suppose I can’t help dedicating this post to frog rain because it’s all about…raining frogs…and how raining frogs is even supposed to “work.” http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/rain-frog.htm 

    Apparently raining frogs seem to be much less pleasant in real life than it is in my head, though.  Fortunately, there are also some gliding frogs that are capable of parachuting safely to the ground, but I don’t think the frogs in frog rain are gliding frogs…

    Oh, interestingly enough it’s going to be raining tonight where I live, but I’m absolutely certain it won’t be frog rain.

    I took quite a few liberties with this image, but to make a long story short, this is generally an exaggerated version of what was happening the whole night on Stinto.net.  If you did not know the “Monster” fandom likes to hold random chat parties on Stinto, and anyone is welcome to join in on the conversations via a link on Johan Rapper’s Tumblr usually.  However, these parties are held at very random times, so good luck catching the chat party train.  Unfortunately for poor nameless-monster AKA fuckyeahjohanliebert’s sake, we may have to find another chatting website.  Fuckyeahjohanliebert was basically turned into a REAL nameless monster thanks to Stinto.net screwing up on her all night.

  8. Some of the harder to read lines are:
“It’s Friday, Friday…best day of the week!”
“tree house club”
“American Girl Face”
“OMG handwriting!”
“Best side profile!”

    a tv show isn’t good unless it makes you want to die

    Does “Monster” make people want to die? Well, it could have done that to me…but…no.  Naoki Urasawa wouldn’t do that to people…

    In an emotional way, yes, but in a literal sense, no.

    Monster makes me want to die in every way

    Well, to be honest, I don’t feel like like “Monster” is killing me emotionally anymore than the real world is trying to kill me emotionally.  As far as I know, the real world is not trying to do so intentionally.  Ironically, Tumblr is doing a better job of “killing” me emotionally with all of its glitches, but thou shall not succeed lest thou art an utter fool.  Whenever I think of wanting to die inside, I think of the meme that says, “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”  Well, I take it as an expression of wanting to escape this wacky wayward backwards world we live in any way we can get it.  I admit plenty of times it’s very hard not to feel like wanting to disappear, but still I digress…I am certain that Urasawa was definitely not trying to kill me emotionally. 


    He wasn’t trying to, but he did make me want to emotionally die several times… or at least his story did. But I tend to have that type of reaction to any form of media that (a) deeply effects me and (b) mentions nihilism in any way, shape, or form. I avoid thinking about nihilism in general, but when I’m forced to think about it or am confronted with that form of thought I get completely, hopelessly depressed. Cowboy Bebop did the same thing to me. Don’t know why I react so badly to nihilistic concepts, actually.

    When I’m given time to think about my own ideas regarding the real world however, I do not want to die. But it’s different for everyone.

    Well, gee, Urasawa showed that you could be Nina and be surrounded by all kinds of things that kill the man but still have a positive outlook on life so…
    In fact, I would even go so far to contest that it’s possible that some of “Monster” is so positive that it kills the man.  Therefore, it is possible people may die emotionally because “Monster” is so gracious that it kills us.  So, I have no clue is “Monster” subliminally trying to tell me I am going to die like this weird fake man who looks dead?
