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... )

You're right on a lot of things.

Thank you!

I don't want to be a total bitch, but it needed saying. >.<

It's not that I expect everyone to solve their problems instantly, either. If you're working towards it or even just working on making a plan, that's good enough! Things can take time. It's pointless whining with no effort to make things better that I don't like.

You're not! You're right. I'm one of the people in there, I should stop whining. And keep going even if I stall.

Sometimes we all have to whine, too. It's only human to need support and sympathy. Just don't let it be all that you do about your problems.

From the little I read of your manga, you seem very determined and don't let obstacles stop you. It's a good trait to have!

...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 ( ... )

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 ( ... )

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 ( ... )

Thanks. I know I sometimes talk too much and this was long, but it really needed to be said.

You are delightfully intelligent, dear. I like those who are not afraid of speaking their minds and yet, manage to keep their thoughts clean and rational.

Um, thank you! I'm probably too willing to speak my mind sometimes, but I try!
