There exists a land of sand. Of wind-swept stone and sun-bleached bone. The sun beats down overhead, but nighttime will never arrive. Each grain of sand is a second spent, every dune an eternity gone. The collective passage of humanity's time. One day you will dump your grains among the pile, and they will tumble imperceptibly into the whole. We are all but an hourglass tipped at birth, and some of us have wider funnels and others have larger volumes. But the grains all fall nonetheless. I took my hourglass to a Chronographer. They studied the shards that have fallen, and studied the shards that yet remain. My hourglass was handled roughly, and so much of what should've been has instead been lost through scars in the glass. It did not join the mountains of memories that others have contributed over the ages, instead, it was swallowed whole by an all-devouring abyss. I lament what was taken of me, but I know to better appreciate what's left at the top of my bulb.I would trade you, if I could. My sand. All of mine for a fragment of yours. That our grains can mix together, here and in the land above. I'd give you sand mine, for a portion of time, that once belonged to you.
yeah not reading all that sorry
Sounds like you've read too much existentialist philosophy and imagined too many imaginary girlsToo much Cioran, especially
>>80087929I don't read much existentialist philosophy at all, really. I'd prefer political philosophy. Dissecting how societies and communities come to be. While I imagine a lot, not a lot of it is imaginary. Why do you believe you see Cioran's works in my scribbles?
>>80087598Edna St. Vincent Millay, is that you?
>>80088022because of that quote of his!Why do you like Kurisu in particular?
>>80087598for another i believe this is
>>80088038Surely you jest.>>80088039I would say rather that I treasure each grain as it slides down the funnel. I wouldn't treat life like such fatal battle. Isn't there lots to like about Kurisu, anyway? In personality, in behaviour. Does she stand out to you? Chiaki is cute, too.>>80088054What makes you think so?
>>80088152Oh, back when I watched Steins;gate, 6 years ago, I really like her and saved a few hundred images of her... now I barely remember her, but I remember there was something tragic about her, like she had to die for the world to be set right, and it remind me of Chiaki, who is the only person with no possible good ending. I just finished danganronpa 2 and I really wished I could stay with her in our little tropical paradise, but that's not what she wanted, as she'd rather sacrifice her own existance to help others return to the real world.
>>80088152>What makes you think so?because its no loves me anon xDeven in the infinite expanse of reality, i am a singular point, alone
>>80088197Isn't it noble to sacrifice yourself for someone else's sake? What better legacy to leave for the annals of history?>>80088222Lonely people are beacons to other lonely people. Do you really feel that you will never know love?
>>80088391Sacrificing yourself... in a way, it is selfish. You give up on your will to exist, you deprive your loved ones of your presense.
>>80088197>faggot transvestite alter ego gets to live on for several years>chiaki our sweetheart being destroyed is a foregone conclusionI really hate DR's writing sometimes
>>80088454It's a game about despair. It's supposed to be tragic, with a bittersweet ending. Btw, originally there was no "original" Chiaki, she was a pure AI. And those who died were supposed to be comatose forever. They retconned both things so the game isn't as depressing. Her Island Mode ending is especially sad, as it is a pure good ending for everyone else, but Chiaki has served her purpose and hints to Hajime that she's not going back with him.
>>80088445Well, there's nothing selfish then if you have no loved ones. All the more selfless.>>80088499The cutest designs get the saddest ends.
>>80088499Point being there's no reason why she shouldn't be able to.I'm not bothered by Chiaki disappearing. I am by the Alter Ego logic.
>>80088732It's shitty writing. DGR always fell through at the end
>>80088849I dont understand why the ultimate despairs didnt fully revert
