Keith is not the best of parental figures

Just for future reference, to anyone who reads/revises stuff for me. I want you to be as MEAN as possible. Tear me up. Otherwise I get too sure of myself and publish work that is beneath me because I'm drunk on praise. I am exceedingly prideful and arrogant as to my writing, despite what I may say. If I'm not put in my place, I make a bad showing. This is why I did so poorly in my writing classes. They were the first people to tear into me and I got snappish. This does not apply to my main Psychosis beta, who is a goddess and isn't afraid to tell me I've failed once in a while. But to everyone else. Am I ever nice to you? Hell no. I tear you up. I expect the same. Call me on things. Challenge me. If I'm fighting to defend something, it's probably not working, and I'll eventually realize it. But if you're just being my friend and reading stuff for me, that's not going to help (unless it's not that important to me and I'm just sharing). Anyone who really knows me knows that the one thing that I really get into is debating. I like to argue and I get bored with people who just agree with me. This is especially true for writing.

Then again, I'm probably wasting my time on this piddling stuff. Everything. Even my precious Xenosaga II. I need to get back to my boys, who are horribly neglected and unloved and wanting of the sex and death. I've been writing angsty dialogue lately. It's leaning into the mush territory and annoying me. I need a fight. Something that results in a violent make-out session or so.

Gravitation had one of the most cracked-out endings in the world. I am still content with it. They handled Eiri's issues, Shuichi's issues, and even Ryuuichi's in a way that didn't make me want to throw up. Yeah, they still had a lot of nonsense but Murakami managed to finish up in a way that worked for me.

On further manga news, just realized that in volume 4, Satoshi is reacting to Daisuke saying his name when Krad shows up. I also picked up Banana Fish 8. I need to buy Duelist 6, Yami no Matsuei 6, Prince of Tennis 8, and DNAngel 8.

Saw "Finding Neverland." Great movie. It really was. I recommend to all.

[livejournal.com profile] quebelly, I'll try to do your meme when I'm feeling better.

EDIT: Day = Upsetting to the max. I think it's time for the Loveless finale since things can't get much worse.
