100 Themes FFX - Laugh at Clocks

Mar 25, 2008 13:46


I'm sort of  starting to wonder if I have some obsession with writing children in as a theme for FFX. Maybe just because it's fun. Maybe just because I should never, ever, ever have written it in as it is thus below. Probably that. Oh, jeez, I had to read like every single story by animecrush and logistika to figure this one out. Not that I'm ( Read more... )

Ah, excellent. :) Insanity is such a joy to write and read. The syntax of the deranged. Much enjoyment. Also, very interesting descriptions: cinematic, in fact. And Auron's glasses! *sniffs*

One point: everything flows very beautifully until I hit the word 'morbid'. Prior to that word Seymour's mind-space is detached, unsure as to the wrongness of all the death, he's looking at it just like a string of pictures, unrelated, just visually striking. But, the pairing of 'beautiful' with 'delightfully morbid' implies that there's a self-awareness of how wrong his delighting in their death is. Is that a deliberate effect hinged on that word - the moment of his self-relevation?

:D I'm glad you liked it! 'Empty Shell' really helped me write this, because I don't think that any other crazy-Seymour style I've seen has been written so well.

I didn't analyze it when I put that in, but basically I wanted to emphasis the point that he understands the basic differences between what the world views as 'right and wrong.' But he also doesn't care, which sticks to his character more despite being loco. So while he is completely detached, he also understands other people's views and knows well enough to categorize it accordingly. So, when that line comes around, I basically wanted that to be like a return to reality, which is the Farplane, to him.

(I really can't explain it well. I'm drugged up on tons of allergy/cough medications with a stuffy cotton head and my lungs feel like... like someone is attacking them with a professional spork. D:)

Thank you so much for such an awesome review, I'm all warm and bubbly (with benedryl... ugh) on the inside :D

Hey, thanks! It was a bit of an experiment so I'm glad you liked it.

(Empty Shell was also written whilst extremely doped up on medication. Yes. Medication. Great for writing and not-so-good for editing. XD)

This is lovely. I'm way too sick to give you the review you deserve, so my apologies for this. But this really is beautiful.

I also loved your KH2 ones, particularly the first. It's very realistic and so sweet.♥
