I need to let it out. It would annoy any KH fan with common sense.

[Phill Devil 48]

So... I told my GF that I went to sleep 2 or 3 hours ago. But the forums. Oh, the forums .

Anyway. I need to let it out.

If any of you have read my presentation thread, you should know that I was depressed because I tried to get a real life and it really didn't work out.

Well, those were 2 years of absence and pure deppression, but in a period between these 2 years, the KNIGHTS incident took place.

My best friend, Deruseu, have started hanging out with some otakus that he said that were nice. As well as I was still deppressed by just ending a relationship I didn't try to meet them.

After a while, however, I have met this group of otakus on a matsuri (you know what is a matsuri right?). And they seemed to be a very nice bunch of people. They called themselves Centro Otaku (Otaku Center, in english). And Deruseu had, somehow, become their admin and leader. Cheers for him =D.

Well, the old admin was a guy who insisted in calling himself Sora. Yeah, ok, it's just a nickname, mainly because he likes the character. Well... NO. And I'll explain why later. For now you should just know that this guy... Has the WORST Sora cosplay I have ever seen... The worst...

Either way, he seemed to be a nice person.

After a while interacting more and more with the otakus in my town, I found out that this Sora guy was the greatest joke in the entire city! Not only because of his ridiculous cosplay, but also because of his disturbing habits and because he actually cared about trolls and the so called "verbal bullying".

Still, even beeing pushed around all the time and reacting with every bad action towards him, he would still wear that cosplay almost everywhere he went.

I felt it was strange, but I defended him. Because, damn, the guy is just trying to have fun with his cosplay!

But that was then...

After a while their group had changed their name, seeing that now the admnistration would be very different. It was called KNIGHTS. Why? I have no idea...

And when the group changed it's name, I was invited to become a mod. And I accepted it. Not because I like the job, but because Deruseu seemed to need every help he could get. He is my best friend. I couldn't say no.

So, after I became a mod I happened to see and talk to these otakus even more oftenly, and with each day I'd see them, my despise for this Sora guy would grow stronger with each day. However, That was too the moment when I started to try to see good in all thing and peace as the true aswer for life. So I tried really hard not to hate him.

But why was he so despisable? His real name is Ivan, and I tend to reffer to people as their real name. But no. He would insist that his real name was Sora and Ivan didn't exist. Whenver anyone tried to help him with his cosplay he'd just say "NO! I know what I want from my cosplay! I don't need any advice!". Also he was ugly as hell and stank like a possum.

Whenever I tried to talk to him about himself, He'd start saying how much KH taught him and quoting Sora's lines.

I felt pity for him! He forgot who he is to try to become a fictional character! This is... Sad...

And that affected me a lot. I was frustrated for not beeing able to help him... And I couldn't look into KH porn anymore! Not without seeing Sora and wanting to throw up and throw my PC through the window!

Then, me and the other mods tried to make him see that He's not Sora, but Ivan.

With each day, it seemed that his mind would simply get more and more closed. I didn't know what to do. And it didn't take long until he'd feel ofended for the fact that we called him Ivan instead of Sora.

Then, he left the group. And went to other groups. The funny thing is, he tried to enter in the group that used to mock him. And he had done it. Then he and his new group would treat the KNIGHTS as enemies... Not only that the KNIGHTS admnistration group started to see every other group of otakus in town as enemies as well.

Then I asked my collegues... "Why can't we be in peace with the other groups?" and the answer was "They wouldn't accept peace".

Damn! They're just a bunch of teenagers who likes anime, not nations preparing to wage war!

I couldn't stand that much hipocrisy. So left the KNIGHTS admnistration.

However, I decided to still hold some of the KNIGHTS mods and users as friends... But the hipocrisy kept going on in my facebook timeline. So I decided I was tired of all this. All these 2 years trying to have a real life have been nothing but stress.

I deleted my facebook account and came back to KH13...

The less friends you have, the less bullshit you have to deal with.

Besides, online friends are much easier to deal with .

What did I just read?

[dusk 910]

Daamn, that sounds kinda weird.. Mostly because there isn't any otakus in my town so yeah. I don't know how groups like that work, but that Ivan guy really goes kinda overboard and I don't see any reason to hate other groups.. Only reason I can see they doing it is that they have gotten too much into anime..

 

Sorry but what?! KH porn.. really..

[Dracozombie 4,554]

They say we should always stand by what we believe in, no matter what. This story is an example of why that's not always good advice. The worst part is that Ivan/"Sora" used to be me, someone who acted like a total retard and snapped at anyone who tried to help me. Luckily I grew out of it... after a few years, and after racking far too many memories of me acting stupid.

 

(We also share(d) the part about stinking. Once a week showers ftw. Seriously, it was so bad the school nurse called me in because people in my classroom must have complained about my wonderful stank.)

That made me laugh.

You abandoned your friends? You did the right thing.

[Phill Devil 48]

No. Never!

I decided to hold them as friends, but they never were really friends. No-one noticed when I deleted my facebook, no-one asked why, so, whatever .

[Isamu Kuno 2,512]

Well it doesn't surprise me the way they act the word "otaku" has taken on a somewhat different meaning in America. Here people use the word "otaku" to describe anyone who is a fan of anime/manga and Japanese video games. The original Japanese word is used to describe someone who has an unhealthy obsession with anything. So with that in mind I'm not really surprised. It's good if you can take lessons from fictional works and apply them to your real life but it's a problem when it completely takes over you're life. I use Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet as my avatar and cut my hair like his (sans rat tail) because I can relate to the character (and I like the way it moves and looks), but I'm not him. I credit the Lost Years of Merlin book series by T.A. Barron for much of my emotional maturity (his initial fear of his powers was analogous to my anger issues at the time) but I'm not him either. I'm just me and I'm happy about that. I don't want to be anyone else.

This Sora guy he's going to grow up eventually. He's just going through a phase. Usually anime fans call that the " Weaboo " phase or something like that. He'll grow up in time, realize what the hell he's doing and become himself and realize that he's not Sora but Ivan.

 

Ivan probably most likely has low self esteem and issues with himself and so that why he prefers to be Sora. Sora is somebody better in his eyes. He's a hero, he's cheerful and outgoing and a little goofy but still cool. Ivan is just plain old and dull Ivan. Ivan doesn't wield a keyblade ! Ivan doesn't go around Disney movies ! Ivan doesn't go around fighting cool heartless ! Ivan sucks ! So Ivan cosplays as Sora to try and feel better about himself and find something more fun about life.

 

Meet him again in five years time and he'll be a changed man.

Truer words were never spoken.

[Soul Eater Evans 4,045]

That Ivan guy.... he's taking roleplaying to a new level.

I understand if you like to cosplay, I even understand if you like other people to call you ____ name.

 

But these guys.....

Forget it. Welcome back to KH13.

[axele 151]

Yeah...

 

People grow up in different ages I reckon. For some people it might be twelve, for others it might be thirty- three. Humans just take different times to connect and feel better about themselves and like themselves and then mature. I think to be a adult you need to like you and be comfortable with yourself. Society says that adulthood is when your eighteen or twenty- one, but I think that that you become a adult when you are ready. Ivan is not ready.
