Black Swan: Evil Twins And White Pearls: Links For Aronofsky's Film
If you haven't seen Darren Aronofsky's psychosexual thriller Black Swan yet, he's a genius and you should. But first, check out the disturbing trailer and read a synopsis of the original Swan Lake ballet. Also, consider watching the 1948 film The Red Shoes (available on Netflix instant queue). It's a dramatic ballet re-imagining of a classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale.
Swans also make interesting idioms. A "black swan" means a rare occurence, though in the Aronofsky's movie and the Swan Lake ballet the black swan is an evil twin who represents seduction and deceit opposed to the white swan's natural grace. A "swan song" refers to a person's final performance based on the ancient belief that swans sing one final beautiful song before they die.
After seeing Black Swan, read about similarities between Black Swan and Satoshi Kon's masterful anime Perfect Blue (trailer). Also be sure to read Poe's short but awesome story "William Wilson", a dark tale about a cheating scoundrel and the vigilant schoolmate threatening to expose him—it ends similarly to Aronofsky's film.
Then for some troubling brain candy, read about Nassim Taleb's Black Swan theory about how we tend to not recognize rare historical events that change the course of history. Taleb suggests ten decisive rules for withstanding Black Swan events including "What is fragile should break early while it is still small." Poor delicate ballerinas!
Also, why are black pearls more valuable than white pearls? Answer: Hella good marketing.
And finally, for you Swan Lake fans, did you know that the ballet has several different endings of varying tragedy and romance? Of course, I always love a happy ending!

HA!
Soooo

Tf does that make me?
(Not the actual time it took me, obviously, I just kept leaving the game and restarting it cause I thought my phone broke)
It apparently didn't like that I found another way to solve
So
Yeah
This is the actual way to solve it according to the game
Heheh
So, am I double dumb or double genius?

Im sorry but the fucking brainrot of chuuya nakahara will not stop so I need to share my fucking vision.
Chuuya Nakahara, who's joints lock up and who has severe chronic pain, who wears gold rimmed reading glasses with little gold chains to help hold them when he's outside the mafia (and thus not wearing contacts to hide his blue-brown eyes), Chuuya who has summer freckles that come out from the sun, who has a wheelchair, cane and service dog respectively just in case that he can never use while on duty, who has heart problems thanks to stress and a god in his body, who has a small clinic outside of Yokohama that knows him by name.
Chuuya Nakahara who, when he figured out that this was happening to him, had a full mental breakdown over being unable to fight properly, and thus not being useful, who then pulled away from Dazai, who never managed to push the right buttons to get him to spill what was happening, leading Dazai to leave the Mafia thinking Chuuya hated him.
Chuuya who then, thanks to this "confirmation" that he wasn't usefull anymore, even if Dazai didn't know, leading him to not open up about this to any other mafia member, with only Mori knowing, and keeping the details even from him.
Dazai who, when in the middle of a case for the ADA, suddenly sees Chuuya rolling down the sidewalk with his wheelchair, freckles and mismatched eyes on full display with his service dog beside him, having his world completely turned on its heal as he falls in love with the same man a second time while simultaneously putting down the pieces that led to his complete misunderstanding of what'd happened between the two years before.
Please tell me there are others who see my vision because this shit is fucking haunting me rn.

In 2022 I made a Pink Floyd parody fanfic. It was more than that, a piece of shit, to be precise.
BUT, I had laughed so hard while making it, that my delusions fooled me into thinking it was hilarious. Anyways, today after some years I decided to revisit it, unfortunately, and fixed some major typos. Anyways:
This is one of the UNEDITED PARTS. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY?? WHAT WAS THE REASON?
???????
Thanks to the only person who commented though….
Character: Ritsu
Age: 18
Gender: male
Powers?: none but he has a knack for healing faster than he should be able to and he’s smarter than most geniuses combined. He’s also a great guesser can figure out what’ll probably happen even in situations where no one can see that outcome, it makes for a-lot of angry people around him.
Description:
Ritsu is really lazy, he’s the type to look for the best outcome and how to get there but then not do it if he doesn’t have to be the one to do it. He will stare people down just because they are there and he doesn’t care if they get uncomfortable.
He has random bursts of “let’s get up and be active” so one moment he’s laying down complaining that he had to get up and the next he’s darting off of a building because “why not”.
He’s quick to get in trouble because of the way he acts but wether it’s intentional or not depends on his mood. As lazy as he is he’s also a piece of crap if you haven’t caught his attention or he likes you.
Is the type to stare you down with a “I don’t care” face and tell you that your dumb (even if you are considered a genius) because he’s smarter while a smirk makes its way into his face.
Loves chocolate will literally grab the chocolate out of your hands if he’s in the mood for some and won’t care that your yelling at him.
If he likes you enough or feels comfortable with you enough he will randomly pull up and just be there. Oh you were sitting minding your business? Well now he’s laying his head on your lap sleeping. Your standing around talking to your friends? Well now he’s behind you leaning his head on you, maybe even wrapping his arms around you in a kinda hug. Your yelling at someone? Well he’s just chilling staring you down from a random seat he pulled up.
He’s the type to not only fall asleep at random (even standing up and magically not fall) but the type to just HAVE things. Like your talking to him (more like talking and he’s listening) you blink for ONE second and now he has a Nintendo switch in his hands that you KNOW he didn’t have on him. It confuses most who meet him but it works lol
Hair:
fluffy white, does a swoosh thing at the ends.
Clothes: baggy black sweatshirt like top black-blue jeans with chains coming off the right side.
Face: piercing almost black eyes Carrie’s a resting deadpan look

dile que este cuerpo es arte, me parezco a una pintura
esta figure es una dulzura

me quieres comer el pu$$y, se nota”
so as a system whenever we have like. major arguments or disagreements with each other we set up a trial system
purely as enrichment for the three ace attorney fictives we have despite never having played the games
and also we select the 'jury' via pk;random
tl;dr this is a very fun way to handle system shit and makes things feel fairer and slightly less serious
