It seems I need to clarify some things about my post yesterday. Rather than repeating myself in multiple comments, I am posting again. This way everyone can see it at once
( Read more... )
...When I came here I didn't think that I'd ever see any of my friends again. Or the living world for that matter. There is no way for me to escape on my own, and coming to rescue me is probably a suicide mission. Am I being whiny and disrespectful by trying to convince people not to get killed because of me and my stupid mistakes? I would rather stay in Hueco Mundo for the rest of my life than have the people I love die because of me. Is that selfish?
I came up with a solution and was planning on executing it if I stayed here. It wouldn't have gotten me home, but it was something I could have done to make a difference, and I'm sorry that I didn't mention that in my post, I didn't think that it was everybody's business. Especially when it needs to be a secret or else it won't work.
I'm not looking for sympathy or pity, and I'm not waiting for some certain knight in shining armor to come rescue me. I don't want anyone to come because like I said...it's probably a suicide mission. The people who I can't convince not to come are people who care about me so much that they would risk death for me. They're my Nakama. You have no such obligation to me, and I am not worth your life. I'm not picking and choosing my rescuers, they picked me, and if you really are a superhero and are bound by duty to save me, then you wouldn't have given up either. You can come save me if you still want to, but I'm sure that it's not worth it to you, especially now that you see me as some weak little girl who's just sitting away in a tower whining and waiting for her prince to come save her like some fairytale princess.
I am not weak and helpless. You don't know me, you don't know my situation, and you have no right to be so judgemental when peoples' lives are at stake.
While I've been watching this situation from the sidelines, I just had to make myself heard now. I hope you understand it, Inoue.
I agree with what this girl is saying, but, while you are right when saying that you don't want people to rescue you, for its a suicide mission, the problem isn't that in itself. It's how you ask people not to come rescue you. A "oh, please, I'm okay, don't rescue me. This is terrible and dangerous, but I'm okay." is very different from a "don't.Don't come save me or you'll get killed. I'll manage on my own. Thanks." Even a lie like "Nah, this is great! The arrancars got me a room with a jacuzzi and a pony! It's heaven. Don't come here," would work, though that would be taking us for stupid people. I know that you are a gentle and sweet person, Inoue, but there are times when you need to show yourself stronger and think about what and how you're saying. If you've been showing words and openings when this kind of people is online and waiting, I'm not surprised they came to get you. In a nutshell: it shows you are weak. Not what your intentions are, but how you're taking care of the situation. For example, in those circumstances, I really believe that the angel had a point. I thought you weren't that innocent, or are you?
Regardless to say, I don't know much about... Brown, right? Though I have been investigating since this happened. But have you noticed how your friends (and mine, I guess, depends on their point of view) have been treating this girl since the moment she offered herself to go. Black is crazy and, sure, he might be protective but I'm rather thinking he is too reckless for this kind of mission, and yet he has been telling Brown to leave you alone. When neither you nor the people who are ready to save you are refusing her help, could you blame her giving up?
And that "you don't know me, you don't my situation, you have no right to be so judgemental when peoples' lives are at stake"... that could be applied to you, too, since she apparently grew up saving people. Therefore it's not your right, nor anyone's to put in question that she saves people or not.
Regardless what I said, I believe I have neither the power nor the influence to stop the party readying itself for Hueco Mundo. I can't go either, because there are rules that I need to abide to and a promise I made. However, I'll be attentive and try to send some back up from Soul Society there. Because, despite everything, I'm still worried.
Well then I'm sorry, Hitsugaya-taichou, that I handled this entire situation so incorrectly. That I said what I felt instead of lying. They were already coming for me before I ever said anything at all, and I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do. I'm scared and I'm alone and fine, yes, I'm stupid. I don't want them to come for me but they are and I don't know how to stop them and I don't know how to help them and if that means that I'm weak and helpless, then maybe I am.
I tried to refuse help from everybody, Hitsugaya, not just Stephanie. Of course I don't blame her for giving up, that's what I wanted her, and everyone else, to do. But if she analyzes every person that she's going to save, and anyone that she determines to be acting "helpless" or "weak" isn't living up to their full potential so she'd rather sit there and analyze their reaction to the situation and tell them what they're doing wrong rather than actually doing anything to help, then she's not a very good hero, is she?
Would you take her on a mission like this? Do you trust her enough to take her with you to Hueco Mundo? She doesn't know anything about Hueco Mundo, she doesn't have any powers besides her acrobatic and martial arts skills, and if she's this judgemental and critical of me, why would I want her to save me? To trust her with my life and the lives of the few people who are the most important to me.

Thank you for your concern, Hitsugaya-taichou.
