__THISRES__100357.jpg "Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 1 week ago")
^nat
After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Darker than Black second season confirmed

"Section 3 or the Syndicate, doesn't matter as they are the same organization or not, as they are clearly the BAD guys.. in my opinion haha. I don't think Suou is a PURE contractor ...as contractor's motive is based on logic and common sense, love and interest are the least thing with logic and common sense, even though she's probably just a contractor-to-be.For Suou feelings about Yin, I think there may be no connection with Norio. She mention him at the house only about topic of liking somebody and then a flashback where she reminds that Hei call her name. She's jealous of Yin maybe because of Yin's past with Hei, as Yin had spent more time with Hei than herself. She kicks the pipe after she saw Yin's ghost holding Hei's arm. Suou makes a deal with Hei that she will stop shooting somebody if Hei will stop drinking alcohol, which is clearly not-contractor-alike, with no benefit to herself, unless you include the love interest...
Hei is not older than 30, is he? I think even he is much older than he looks, he will not get past 25 or 24... and saying that Hei is a lolicon is...XD he should be a SISCON, Yin and Suou is clearly the sister-like type character. For Misaki, I don't think she have interest for Hei... BK201 is much more like her target. She feels that capturing BK201 is like her mission in life, and she might want to ask Hei about his past at Heaven Gate and info about Hell Gate, and also his past which makes him known for the Black Reaper."

New Arc....

"Zaraki's sudden appearance was exactly like in all the Bleach movies. Loud boisterous laughing coupled with immense reiatsu flowing in all directions. Though I'm sure he's laughing that all those noob Shinigami were being pwn'd by their Zanpakuto. OP & ED - Different. Not necessarily bad, just got to get used to it I suppose. Kira was fantastic, strategic fighting for a change. If only Yumichika actually used his Zanpakuto to it's fullest, it's such an absurdly powerful ability. 11th squad might be about physical zanpakutos and one on one fights, but its also about limiting one's powers - Zaraki, Ikkaku, and Yumichika all purposefully limit their own powers in some fashion.I'd like to see Yachiru fight, it's already been hinted at that she's absurdly strong."

What is worse telling the Truth or telling a Lie?
6 days 15 hours ago
"Truth is good and ideally everyone should stick to it. But living as we do, we sometimes feel the need to hide it for the fear of hurting our loved ones. "Life is Beautiful" comes to my mind as I write this. How a father's lies help his little son survive Nazi camp. There are such examples in real life also where lies help people to sail through bad times...Then, there are people whose intentions in telling lies are not so noble. Mostly common people tell lies to appear better than they actually are, in the eyes of others. So long as there is a grain of truth and the rest is embellishment (as, in a person's resume') it may not hurt much. A little creativity here and there may even make it interesting...
The worst are habitual liars. Those who simply cannot speak the truth and are out to deceive people and take advantage of their naivete for their personal gains are despicable offenders. Finally, I feel one should have the courage to speak the truth to keep one's conscience clean...(a little harmless lie here and there is allowed)."

A United World

"A United World is impossible because it's human nature to hate. Tribes were killing each other for no reason other than we wear deer antlers, they wear fish bones. Now we've got money, land, religion, and oil to squabble over. Even if the apocalypse comes we'll still kill each other. Instead then it'll be over good hunting grounds or fertile lands for farming.There ain't never gonna come a time when separate communities or countries haven't got a reason to kill each other on a massive scale. I guess world peace will happen when global warming finally flushes the toilet and mankind is forgotten about for another 3 million years in a nice little swirling motion..."

Religion and Science
6 months 3 weeks ago
"I think they already do co-exist. Science does not have much common ground with religion. Religion deals with "spiritual" things, some of which can not be scientifically proven. The idea or concept of God can not be proven through scientific methods. However, there is no way scientists can prove God is a myth either. What type of science experiment can be set up to prove or disapprove God's existence? It, so far has not been done, and who knows if it will ever be done in the near future. I have not read Dan Brown's book so I can't comment on it.Religion deals with mysteries, some of which can not be explained scientifically. On the other hand some of it can. Some scientific methods are flawed. They claim to know everything when in fact they don't. Their theories are forever changing. At one stage ,Charles Darwin's theories were accepted as fact, now they are proven flawed and replace with new theories. They said in the past, that sunlight was needed for life to exist, now they find life forms that exist without light. There were Time magazine articles saying "Is God Dead ?", we are still here 30 years later trying to figure out the answer to that question.
Some of Albert Einstein's theories have been proven to be false and flawed (though a lot are proven to be very accurate and truthful) as were Sir Isaac Newton's
People are not sure if the universe is made of the 10 string or the newer 11 string theory. That is 10 or 11 dimensions. The theories and counter-theories abound.
There is a large amount of "unknown" in the real world that has yet to be "discovered" by scientists and for them to formulate theories ."

A question for all virgins over twenty
6 months 3 weeks ago
"In our society today, a virgin over twenty is like unheard of which is really sad, but true. People say they're a virgin and you can't help react but with a "REALLY!" No one believed Jessica Simpson really was and it always throws people off when someone says they're waiting until marriage. Borderline sluts are definitely more accepted, whether that is right or not. They are seen as girls playing by the boys' rules. They do what they want with who they want and will a lot of times brag about it just like guys do. Granted, I'm basing this on people currently in their early twenties and the majority, so people who are like fifty will probably give me a thumbs down, but that's just how it is.. most kids are having sex at an early age these days and.. most of my friends lost their virginity between the ages of 15-17, a couple closer to 19-20, girls and guys included. I'm still a virgin though, and I'm proud of it!"View
How important is money to you?
6 months 3 weeks ago
"Money today is a complete lie in respect to what it was originally designed for. First there was a trading system, because of the problems of this system currency in the form of gold coins issued by the state was then used with great success. Then later evolved to promissory notes in the form of bills, which promised to pay the person a sum in gold.Today our system is completely screwed up as our money as no solid value anymore. Its worth is no longer based on gold, but now its value its based on itself and how much there is in circulation. Money is therefore worthless as it has nothing to back it up in worth but itself."View
Inoue and Ulquiorra Schiffer??
7 months 4 days ago
"Good hints but I have to disagree with you, Ulquiorra was given the duty of making sure Orihime ate by Aizen, who would've been angry if she died or became sick. Aizen chose Ulquiorra because he was loyal and could be trusted not to harm Orihime! She did interest him a great deal, but it wasn't romantic. He was never nice to her. And why would Ulquiorra bother to wear his sword in Orihime's room? I can't see Stark, Halibel or Barragan going in there, and he has no reason to fear Orihime or any lower Arrancar or Espada. I agree with you about the three other Espada though. They WOULD do that, the idiots! After-image of her? I'll check that spoiler Despite what I've said, I do love UlquiHime! "

Can God Exist Outside of Religion?
7 months 4 days ago
"No religions are true. There are no gods. There is much evidence in the history of religions to show that they are man-made. Just because there are things we can't explain does not demonstrate the existence of any gods. "God" is a made up answer without any basis. The universe did have a beginning at the time of the Big Bang. However, that does not say anything about whether anything existed before it. We don't even know if the universe is a closed system, of if the law of thermodynamics applies to anything outside of the universe. Also, it is evident that things can come from nothing. Read up on virtual particles and Hawking radiation. Some things are uncaused, like electron tunneling.I've read much of the Quran and it is just long and ranting. I don't really see much value in it. It is extremely redundant. The whole book can be condensed into a pamphlet and still retain its meaning."

"I’ve watched it and it’s awesome!(although they’re using thinner outlines for the hair, which bugs me in someway (but you, like, only notice it on Ed..) and sometimes the character-design reminds me of Avatar: the last airbender. (again, only for Ed) But I was like? at the guy in the beginning of the opening (which I love by the way, very catchy) teenaged Hohenheim, I found out, cause I haven’t come that far in the manga, yet, because, and don’t ask me why, I’m waiting for the library to buy them where I am lol. But I think I’m going to quit waiting for the translaters and just read it in english online, which is much easier than I ever thought, I realized after being forced to read an English novel in English class... so thanks to my English teacher for making me believe in myself and my English-knowledge! and thank you to all who had anything to do with the restart of the best anime ever! (lol I’ve like watched only three of them properly)( but Bleach is a close second!)ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!
Sorry for the long comment, but FMA touches my heart... it must be Al, I love him and want to comfort him in any way possible (except avoiding to watch this new season)! I don’t know what to say, but everytime I watch an AMV (like one where Vic sings ‘Brother’ when Ed is blaming himself for Al’s pain, my tearcanals just opens wide, and I feel -so- pitiful for bitching about school, and having to dust my room and do other chores, cause I have a mother (although no father), a house, four siblings who are more or less healthy, an nephew I love, a change to educate for free, breakfast everyday, no war in sight, I’m able to enjoy the spring with my nose, hands, feet and mouth! I can feel the new grass when I go out for the first time bare feet, I can smell when the snow disappears from the air, I can feel the warm sun and wind on my face, I can feel the smell of the flowers and the fertilizer on the fields (lol), I can taste the first new potatoes, the strawberries, and the grilled paprika and corncobs, and fresh bread and cookies and pies and muffins! Which Al can’t...*sob* again I’m -SO- sorry, I just had to get it out of my system!
Love to you all for loving FullMetal Alchemist!
(PS:I always thought the Manga was funnier, I hope this new series that takes after the manga also takes after it’s great sense of humour!)"

Do you consider your life to be fair?
7 months 6 days ago
"There is a purpose and reason for everything. It is not always ours to understand but to learn from, accept and we grow. Your life is a reflection of your perspective. Not everyone worships the externally "beautiful" people. Although they do receive many benefits there are also drawbacks. If you were one of those people how would you ever know who truly liked you and who only wanted to use your "power" for their own benefit? What happens to those people as they grow older as we all do? Others treat you the way you believe you deserve to be treated. Love yourself and feel worthy and others will treat you with respect. Focus on being the best "you" can be. Give much and learn to appreciate all your blessings. In life, whatever you focus on is increased. Focus only on what you desire. Give no thoughts or energy to anything that you don't want multiplied.Listen carefully to your "self talk". Stop any negative thoughts as soon as you recognize them. Have a specific word to cancel those thoughts out. I use "cancel, cancel". You could use "delete, delete" or "replace, replace" or anything else that works for you. The instant a negative thought comes to you, use your words and replace that thought with a positive one. There is very little physical difference between the "beautiful people" and the "average people". All people are born lovable and loving. Take positive actions to feel good about yourself. When you accept and love yourself, others will too."

Paying for Dinner
8 months 4 weeks ago
"I have two main theories as to why guys pay for the date. The first being that they asked a girl out, and they fully expect to pay for the date. The second is tradition! Since the dawn of time, men were expected to be the breadwinners, hunters and providers in a household. By showing a woman that they can handle paying for a date and have money to do so, then they show that they could be responsible providers should it develop into a relationship of some sorts.I'm only speaking from what I've seen and observed about the whole courting thing, but I think that a woman should be open to paying for the date as well. Not to sound like I am too much of an independent girl here, but if I were a guy I would appreciate it if a woman picked up the tab every once in awhile. Personally speaking I like paying my own way when I'm on a date with guy because I like to show him that I'm not interested in his money and I am strictly there for the enjoyment of his time. I also show him that I have my own thing going and don't need to rely on his money or anyone else's."

Anew Returner

"I liked this episode but it made me realize that none of the characters in a relationship might survive any of this: Setsuna x Marina, Saji x Louise, and others characters in a relationship because Anew’s death had some effect on the other characters thanks to Ribbons stupendous greed, he even went as far as controlling Louise. Now Lyle is probably on a suicide mission, in the preview he is seen holding a gun looks like he is trying to leave the Ptolemaios Allelujah and Soma/Marie seems to be having a dispute, Saji fears that what happened to Lyle might happen to him it is most likely that Mr Bushido is going to die next episode wishful thinking as the opening theme shows Lyle is seen with an umbrella maybe visting a grave of brother or late wife to be and Saji with a different in an apartment with Louise looking at the sky through the window looks like he won her back and Soma/Marie might die or go missing because Allelujah is seen walking alone until he suddenly turns his back due to a vision of Soma/Marie.Tieria Erde seems to have embraced his innovator side but in the ending theme he goes berserk and shoots the mirror with a gun pointing back at Ribbons, Regene and maybe healing. Setsuna reaching out with his hands to a female’s hand who is likely to be Marina in a dream like world only time will tell whether Setsuna and Marina can overcome all odds because Setsuna has a lot of enemies. All in all it was a fairly good episode!"

Do you believe that your parents love you unconditionally?
9 months 1 week ago
"I know for sure that my father always loved me unconditionally. He was in the military and often was not around due to his career but I always felt his love. I lost him recently and it makes me feel so lost. I think my mother always loved me conditionally and still does... I guess she loves me. She says so but she hurts me a lot with the things that she says about me, she never stops and think before saying hurtful things and I'm never on good terms with her unless I'm doing as she wishes.It breaks my heart, I have always been there for her but she has not always been there for me. I've always known she doesn't treat me very nicely. Others tell me they know it too. So I think she loves me unconditionally only because I'm her child and nothing else and I really hate that about her and wish she had died instead of my father."

The good is there, you just have to learn how to focus on it. Get rid of negative energies in your life that bring you down. Always remember that there are those who do love you, whether you know it or not, and to actually take your life could destroy those who love and care about you."View
Looks or personality?
9 months 1 week ago
"Neither "personality" nor "looks" are as important as shared goals. As one philosopher put it, its not looking into each others eyes that makes for a long term relationship, but both of you looking outward in the same direction. Both looks and a charming or winning personality are superficial characteristics. As one person already stated, looks fade rapidly when you come to see the other person as stupid. But "stupid" is the least of your problems. What if you imagine your partner as corrupt, or deeply lazy or insubstantial, and you are looking at a lifetime of being stuck with them and tarred by their negative traits. Then looks fade very fast.Life is a great adventure. A relationship is a great way to share this adventure. Loving feelings and sex are parts of that adventure too, but more the spice than the substance. The substance is achieving great things, growing within yourself, living a fantastic life. Look for someone with whom you would want to share an exciting life-long adventure. That means they have to have goals compatible with your own. Don't fall for either looks or personal charm. If your partner has them, all the better, of course."

The Twilight series...
9 months 1 week ago
"It basically sucks for me! The characters are two dimensional, stalkers, and or have no backbone. The writing it terrible. The series is misogynistic; I'm very much a feminist, so the series annoys me. The plot is non-existent and the relationships between the characters are shallow and fake (with the exception of Jake and Bella). I'm on Team Jacob. I hate the series, but I'm (fictionally) in love with Jacob. He stands for everything I find to be important in life. I read the series for him. I don't really have predictions for Breaking Dawn, besides the obvious of Bella and Edward tying the knot and Edward biting her.I'm not excited for the movie, think it's going to be much too cheesy. I hate chick flicks and romance movies (for the most part). I like most of the cast. Bella is okay; Edward sucks; Jacob is awesome (Taylor Lautner is so much hotter than the Cedric kid); the Cullens are decent (especially Emmett. Yeah, he's gorgeous!); Charlie sucks.

Communism
9 months 1 week ago
"My personal feeling is that in theory only, Communism is the ideal system for humans. Each person contributes what they can, and each person only takes what they need. Everyone owns everything communally, and everyone is provided for. If you read books about Utopian societies, or what theologians imagine Heaven to be like, you find that they are very close to a communist state. In actual practice, Communism will always fail, and I believe that is because of human ego. Humans are not highly evolved enough spiritually or mentally to feel comfortable handing over all they produce for the good of the whole, or receiving only what they need back from the whole. We want what we worked for, and there is nothing wrong with that. And actual communism, when it has been put into practice, is a mess. Yes, it robs people of privacy, and yes, it denies people the right to practice the religion of their choice.It also makes an economy absolutely tank. Worst of all, it creates a huge disparity between the haves and the have nots (we have that in a democracy, as well, but at least we admit it in a democracy, and try to put into effect social programs to help the have nots). People who are greedy always end up using more than their fair share in a communist state, and more often than not, they are exploiting the workers, who actually produce, to get the resources they use. So, in theory it's a great system, but in practice it sucks. It brings out the absolute worst in people, rather than the best, which is what it should, in theory, bring to the surface. That's why the USSR finally dissolved--it wasn't Reagan saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, bring down this wall." It was the fact that communism cannot survive human behavior."

IchiRuki... platonic or Romantic
9 months 1 week ago
"I would say she loves him but in all honestly there is no time for real romance in a fighting manga. As pointed out in chapter 54 she tries to suppress emotions because of her current situation and she did have trouble talking about Ichigo and their relationship. If she was so certain about him being just a friend then why did she not just come out and say it? Also when Ichigo was having trouble with his inner hollow and she helped him recover his fighting spirit in Ch. 196. The one line that stuck out to me was The "you" that lives on in my heart, Ichigo. That line is pretty significant considering she never really opens up emotionally to anyone. Plus she's never said something along those lines to either Renji or Kaien. Another significant thing was after her fight with Aaroniero right before her 'death' she recounts the important people in her life. Notice how Ichigo has the biggest panel and is in it all by himself, granted Orihime appears on the next page with an even bigger panel, but then again her main objective was to save her. Her nakama Chad and Ishida are in one panel. Her childhood friend and brother are in one panel. Yet Ichigo gets one all to himself and by himself. That to me shows she thinks about him in a completely different way then the others.I don't believe she likes Ichigo as a replacement for Kaien. Not only has she never linked the two, but their relationships with her are completely different. Kaien was someone she looked up to and was her mentor. She held him in high respects and the guilt she had over 'killing' him was an everlasting burden in her heart until she faced it when fighting against Aaroniero and parted with it, his heart lives on with her. She's Ichigo's mentor (formerly) and friend. She wants him to see her as his equal and not want to be protected by him always, when it comes to Ichigo's friends he easily holds Rukia higher than them all. They hold an important bond and they both need each other to successfully live. There bond is probably one of the strongest in this manga and has stayed that way from the very first chapter. I'm sure it will end with them together in the end in Soul Society with an ambiguous meaning. "
