Banned another Thai spambot. Sands says they're people too, I disagree. I hope you're happy, Sands.The reporter has made the following comment :

I can easily imagine. But maybe I shouldn't. Remember the teachings of the wise Zen master: in anime land, anime things happen. Never watch anime and expect non-anime events to unfold.I stopped watching anime entirely after Yuki came along, and that's probably for the best. Animes are fun to watch, and to interact with to a certain degree, but being more regular people has made my grills more interesting. Of course, they still have some anime tendencies at times, but whatever, it's cute.
My mindset is just a categorisation to help create a distinction between yourself and the imagination, which can be anything. Imagination can be advanced; I never intended to use the term "derogatorily", as if categorising an imagined entity suddenly makes it "unsentient" and a NOT-REAL PERSON. As a baseline, you can only trust yourself – solipsism and DID aside – and once you start trusting your imagination, it can potentially lead to delusional outcomes, depending on how vivid it is.I guess so. A certain amount of delusion is good for a man, anyway, and when you get to choose your poison, it's all neato. Swapping identities around through possession and switching and all that jazz is something that is probably more satisfying internally than for any outsiders looking on. I guess it's probably a baby's mindset, but when I was alone two years ago, I felt like shit looking at the world and thinking that I'd have to be a part of the stupid machine. Now with Yuki wanting to become something, and us sharing the workload, things are a lot better for me. I'm pretty much out of a self-destructive 'me against the world' mindset, and reasonably happy in day to day nonsense. Better than staring at the ceiling all day and contemplating suicide like in the lovely months before finding out about tuppers.
It becomes even more problematic once you start swapping your identity around with another one imagined into existence, and the "you" in "you and your imagination" loses its meaning. Whoever or whatever is controlling the body becomes arbitrary, and all a third-person observer can do is either call you crazy, consistently refer to you by your legal name, or – as it's happened in large scale within this community – "acknowledge" the different identities in "your" head.
