'''Corrosion''' | |||
I'll start this diary by telling a story. A story of a creator. His name is X!Gaster (and I know this is anime as hell and to that I reply yes, the series is lowkey kinda anime). | |||
He was a talented person, gifted with an ability named "overwrite". This allowed him to rewrite the stories of his creations, much like scrapped versions of an OC, AKA an original character. As he had two "children", Chara and Frisk, he decided to use this ability to create a story where everyone is happy. He starts with a wonderful world with a friend (I), a kind father (II), and a benevolent mother (III), but deems it too boring. He then proceeds to turn one of his "children" evil and create tragedy. But Chara tried to fight back, and for that he punished the siblings. Entry 5, and the world hates the two children. They try to fight back multiple times, only for Chara to get manipulated by X!Gaster and kill Frisk over and over again. As Chara regains consciousness, he decided to manipulate another character to fight back against X!Gaster, but that character saw right through his lies and fused his own soul with Chara's to stop the chaos. | |||
And that, marks the end of the story, with everyone else either distressed or being controlled by X!Gaster except for Cross and Chara, who are fighting their own war. Was it a good story? Of course, with all the fourth-wall breaking and stuff. But were the characters happy? Absolutely not. This brings me to the point of this note: what did X!Gaster even want to do? He went from wanting his "children" to be happy, to trying to create the best story, no matter the cost. Some may say he was blinded by power, while some may say he was selfish. Both of them are right, but to summarize: their intentions were corroded. Think about it: what would one do if they suddenly gained the ability to write a story for people? They would follow mostly the same path as X!Gaster. | |||
Surprise, surprise, I have so many other stories to tell that support my point, like Annoying Villagers, where a species went from fighting for survival to fighting for expansion of their kingdom. But for the sake of length I will refrain from telling them. To wrap this all up, I only have one sentence: know what you want. Not what you desire, but what you wanted in the first place. This is especially advice to hardworking people - did you want money to live a comfortable life, or did you want money because money is money? | |||
* Disclaimer: I know I made a lot of mistakes in the story description, please do not strike me down for oversimplifying the story originally it's a few hours long T_T | |||
