Greetings, folks. As you may be aware, I am a rather big fan of manga and anime (freaking huge, actually). What do I want most in the world? I want to be able to manipulate reality and travel between anime worlds and the real world (or the power to jump into manga would be a cool alternative). With this power, I don't think reality would really matter to me anymore (only to the extent where I can bring others with me; friends, the like). I would probably use this "manipulate reality" power as well to get me out of school to spare me the trouble of years of effort. (weeewt go Logan). To get this power, well, quite frankly, I would kill anyone who tried to get in my way. Living in a fantasy world, getting away from the current world. That's all I try to do anyway- living in perpetual music zone, watching anime and reading manga and wishing so dearly I was in them, the whole shebang. No one can say I don't live for the unreal. In any case, I would achieve nirvana with this power, become even happier than I am when I watch and read manga/anime, as I am filled with sadness that it isn't real in the end.
Roger, from LOTF, is what I would call a "winner". I always liked Roger- I felt him to be a very intriguing character and I like the way he thought. His ultimate goal, it seemed, was to become an animal, to live off primal feelings and to in the end survive and enjoy himself, in his own sick, sadistic way. Roger wasn't about to let anyone stand in the way- he was willing to kill anybody and do anything to survive and live his own little sadistic fantasy.
On the flip side of things, Simon from LOTF seemed to have a completely different outlook. He most wanted to get everyone out safely, to save them and bring them back to the side of good. He was willing to sacrifice even his own life for this goal, he became a martyr of sorts. Simon only wanted to help, in the end.
I notice that your vocabulary is very "spiffy" in this post (as it usually is in every post).I have come to expect this from your blog, and thus far you have not disappointed. Also, I agree with your explanations of Simon and Roger, although I question your sense of admiration for the latter...
