(no subject)

Point one: LJ, STOPgoddamn trying to restore my old drafts. If I WANTED to post the same thing twice over, I'd SAVE A COPY and REPOST IT, right? Thanks. *goes to hunt down the function to turn that off*

Point two: I may have mentioned it before, but this kind of thing scares me a little. "Otaku-kin" or WTFever it is they call themselves. There's people out there who believe they're somehow the reincarnate spirit of TV and game characters.

All I can say is that if someone came up to me going "OMG yeah I'm liek totally the reincarnate spirit of Ivy, u kno" I'd SLAP THEM SILLY. Outside of my head and my fiction, SHE AIN'T REAL. You can't be the reincarnated spirit of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. Ditto on the species - no, Kiravai aren't real, I made them up, I cobbled together a lot of things I dug out of science journals and history books or just plain thought looked cool and BAM, there they were. There IS NO SPIRIT to reincarnate. There IS NO SPOON. I can cope with the otherkins, the furries, since although sure, a lot probably ARE fictional creatures, it's a totem, an allegory, a symbolic representation, for a lot of people. You might not be able to define it, but hey, it looks like a unicorn, so we'll call it that. But your INNER SEPHIROTH? Please.

Edit: Point three: Since when did "wanking" take on the new wholesome meaning of "blather on in pompously about a subject"? Bag of wank.

Oh, but you gotta love all that wank. Its fun to piss them off and laugh at them. I've already come accross someone who believes he's a Sonic character. Oh geez how I just wanted to bloody bang my head on a concrete wall.

I've seen some others use it in that sense. Wank(er) = bullshit (pouser).

Aw, but I'm the reincarntation of Iios, who isn't even dead or published yet - wait, does that even work for him, being synth and all? Do Synth reincarnate?

Don't answer that.

Didn't even know that sort of thing existed until now. Scary....

And you can always just click the cancel button for the restore saved post thingy. That usually works.

You can't be the reincarnation of Iios, because I am! :>

And yeah, you brought up the question of whether or not Synth have souls and all that. Hmm.

Seriously, it's funny who/what people think they are. I know one guy who totally believes he was once Beethoven. But that seems to be a semi-common one. They can't all be right. :>

Now you're raising some interesting questions...

Namely, you're assuming a person can only have one reincarnation at a time...
And raising the nature of "souls" itself. Namely, are they tied to the individual? Is an idenity bound to a single soul? Do they have to reincarnate solely in the direction we believe time to pass?

If the answer is no, then it's possible the same soul can exist in more than one place at once. It might be rather dilute, but the possibility exists.

Though saying you're a video game character is quite dissillusional.

Though then we're limiting ourselves to reincarnations only of things within our scope of the universe....

Argh, I'm dangerous when I'm speculative. Anyway.
