lloyd's too disgusted for words ):
I'm awake. For how long, I'm not sure. Hoping to actually have a headacheless day today, since that would help make me a contributing member of society (or fandom?).
So far, not so good.
I'm not incredibly rich - or hell, maybe I am, ask the payee - so I can't just pay out of the ass for Microsoft Office Home/Student. I'd love to, because I'm officially certified in MO, and it'd be nice to keep myself from getting rusty. Not to mention, the suite is very handy, blah blah blah blah. Point is, I don't have the money. Life sucks.
So, instead, I've always used the alternative: Microsoft Works. Yeah, I could be using Open Office, but the reality is: it lags like a bitch due to java. Or at least, it did on my old computer. I understand my old computer was bottom of the barrel in RAM - y hallo 256mb - but seriously. Too many freezing nightmares when I was writing epic things to feel safe on it. Microsoft Works never did that to me.
Alternatively, there's wordpad but I really hate using online spellcheckers.
I dunno how many of you guys are using vista. I figure not a lot, because the OS takes up so much RAM. I don't really have a problem with that, considering I've got about 4gigs and a fast processor; take what you can and leave the rest, you know? But anyway. Vista comes with the standard Microsoft works bit, 'cept one thing.
NOW IT HAS FUCKING ADS.
What the FUCK? I really have to purchase Microsoft WORKS now? Dude, why would I purchase it when it's what you use when you can't purchase WORD?
Just. Just die.
I'm going to try Open Office again and pray java stops being such a fuck. ;_;
Okay, so it's common knowledge that I've only ever liked Yuan as a comic-relief character. He was funny. I giggled a lot. Although mostly at the NEXT TIME YOU'LL BE MINE stuff because I'm a sick puppy. But honestly, I know there's more to him than that. I just refuse to acknowledge any other facet of his personality because if I did, I might genuinely like him, write from his perspective and get eated by the crazy Kratos/Yuan fandom.
Okay, so they're not all crazy in there, it's just that the majority portrays Yuan as a sissy boy who's deeply in love with the big badass Kratos. How does that even work out? Longer hair, thus he's the annoying whiny girly ukebutt or something?
Call me crazy, but I thought Yuan was more badass than Kratos. He actually had the audacity to try and do something about Mithos, even if the odds were against him. He stopped being a mindless droid and rejected Mithos' beliefs, even when the world he was creating would have been of great benefit to him as a half-elf.
And as for his relationship with Kratos... hasn't anyone realized it was just a little antagonistic? ToF shows them snarking at each other the whole time. I imagine that didn't end after Martel died. It might have died down over the course of a few thousand years, they might have found good company in one another, but it still was there. They're still of separate races and discrimination was what Mithos fucking thrived on, the little bastid. If his constant bitching about being judged wasn't an incentive for them to judge one another, I dunno what could be. Not to mention, Yuan did eventually create the renegades and Kratos didn't know about it. He became an enemy, right then and there.
I'm not saying Kratos/Yuan couldn't work out, guys. I imagine it happening casually, more because of loneliness. There was room for a deeper relationship after the whole father vs son gig, when Kratos' alliance was revealed, but the issue here is that Kratos left. They had the communicator, according to ToS2, but even that eventually ran out. It's sad, but that's how the cookie crumbled.
I'd love to see that portrayed. I'd love to see the two of them be thousand year old men desperately trying to anchor themselves in a changing world. I'd love to see Kratos be less of a dirty old man and more of the quiet, thoughtful guy that he really is. And I'd like to see Yuan be less of a dumbass fluffy butt and more of the troubled free-thinker that he is.
argh why did I rant about that?
I'm hungry. And I wanna take another shower. But it's too early. 4 more hours... ;_;
