I wonder what it says about me that my creativity works best when I'm pissed off -- be it pissed off at a particular thing/person, or just pissed off in general.

Anyway. I was rereading Nikery's Ashei & Nikkai story, and that made me ponder the life-debt thing. It's always someone tough who owes the life debt. Which is kinda funny, since said person is always badass and 1337 and only is in debt because the rescuer is even more badass and 1337. What if the person in debt was a total klutz or something? It would be hard to manage, 'cause someone like that likely would have accrued more than one debt in his life -- which, wow busy. So it seems either he'd be constantly harried and hassled and abused repaying all these debts, or he's managed to get by in life and the rescuer saves him from something pretty damn major. So some posh, 1337 lord gets stuck with a klutz following him around.

And of course now the internet is fucking up, so I can't even fucking chat with anyone I might have cared to harass. ARGH.

If this posts it will be a fucking miracle, cause I can't get anything to fucking load.

Woo, first post!

You have a cool brain.^_^ But then, I already knew that.

When I think of life-debt my mine usually goes to the one where if you save someone's life, you are responsible for them for life. Which... while it is less fair, probably makes more sense, since the savee, probably needs someone to look after him. Makes me think of Sky's Demon Sacrifice story, though, which makes me smile. ^_^

I hope your internet figures itself out. *pets*

Edit: Um... I'm pleading sick on posting this wrong. Yeah. Hi raielchan. *waves*

Hallo . . .

Ya-hooo!

Could explain why some of the best writers are cantankerous asses?

I suspect it's all about the adrenalin and cortisol however, and your brain working faster because it is that annoyed.

Heh. I think A was probably the more correct answer ^_~

So to be a good writer I need to be grumpy all the time. I'll work on that. XP

Sir Kay, in the arthurian legends, is sort of like that. He is a really crappy knight, which makes him feel really insecure, which makes him challenge lots of knights to armed comflicts. Of course, he usually loses, which means that he has to yield to whatever knight beat him that time and owe that knight either a life-debt or some great big favor (I think it depends what sort of contests he lost). Owing so many people gives him low self-esteem ,which makes him challenge more people, and the cycle continues. Of course, if Kay just stuck to his job as Arthurs seneschal (which he's really good at) he would be fine. But he doesn't.
