I can get behind this.
[X]Go to the school library with Kurumu. You'll probably meet up with Moka and Aono on the way there.
Your waifu is shit, and you are a shit person
What? People does use their waifu as their avatar, right? Wait, shit, I recently changed my avatar, hold on a second...

Kept you waiting, huh?

Look. Thoma is not my friggin' waifu. If I were the kind to use waifu avatars, you'd have an endless stream of Neimi from Fire Emblem 8, Allenby Beardsley from G Gundam, and - okay, I admit there might still be some Kenshiro in there, but STILL!
Although I do sincerely agree with your assessment that I'm a shit person, that has more to do with the fact that I can only ever make sense of my own IRL behavior if I interpret it negatively, like "I get frustrated about being asked to do things I hate, so that must mean I'm a selfish bastard. I went and helped anyway even though it made me miserable, so that must mean I'm spineless. I lost my temper and yelled at someone I care about, which a good person wouldn't do, so that means I'm worthless garbage that should have never existed."

Well of course.

You are a man of wealth and taste

My bank account says otherwise.
You are spiritually wealthy

Oh, definitely. Dapper Sauron is ~moe~.
That is generally known as "being human," dude.

My complete and absolute inability to have any kind of positive self-image would seem to indicate otherwise.
I do appreciate the kind words, though.
Nonsense
I'm a terrible human being and my soul's so loaded It could bankroll a major studio

Clearly, the one devastating weapon, super-effective against both werewolves and kitsunes, exploiting the hidden weakness of both, would turn out to be Scooby Snacks.

But if it's supposed to be normal, then why does it bother me so much? Does that make me... defective?
Rejected. Funny, but rejected.

..are you posting from mobile and so can't see my emoticon, kind of implying that I'm really just kidding?

But, there, there. The fact that you ranted that much means you really needed to get it out. But self-deprecation is not good. It never is. It's there in all but the worst of us, but you can't never hear it, because it would simply lead you to a defeatist way of life. Instead, please look at what good you have done, and what good you can do. For one, you're actually making a fun quest! I might not look like it, but I do have fun here. I haven't made something I can truly be proud of in the internet, which is why I try to compensate so much by helping others make theirs. That's something I could do. There's also something that you can do, and only you can do. You just need to find more about it.

No. I am not. I can see the emoticon just fine. I simply failed to realize that you weren't being serious.
People often tell me I have trouble with subtext.
Things seem to be unanimous now, but there aren't really a lot of votes cast yet. So I'll leave it open until tomorrow, just to be sure.

You think that was ranting? That was nothing next to the episode I had about ten hours ago.
Certainly, it is true that others also tell me to be positive. "It couldn't have been done without you." ...but then, why? Why am I unable to take pride in that?

Nah, holding excessively high standards for yourself is also totally normal. Loads and loads of non-optimal modes of thinking are perfectly normal.
I mean, the human brain is the most complex computer in existence, and it was basically written by having random number generators spit out code and discarding everything that caused a fatal error. It's hard enough to get bugs out of a complex system when you have people actively removing them, and we were not built according to best practices.

These hands of mine... they are not worthy to protect anyone's smiles, nor to brush away their tears.
That they seemingly continue to do so, in spite of that.... heh. Perhaps this, too, is fate.
........
In any case, I'm actually pretty excited about some of the ideas I have in mind for the near future of this story, so please look forward to it!

Because you haven't had enough. You have seen only people that are better than you. You haven't seen beyond that. What lies beyond? Your place in this world, and why it must be you.
Or maybe because you couldn't feel that it was something meaningful, that it is something genuine, that it is something great. To which, you need to look inward and see what you really want. What you really need in your life for it to be good.
And to both of them, it's normal to never really found it. But that's why we search for them throughout the rest of our lives. So that one day, maybe, just, maybe, we could look back and be proud of who we are and what we have done. Maybe it won't even happen until our last breath, maybe it could only be found in the realm after. But that doesn't mean we should simply stop searching. Because that would make our life even more empty and sad than it already is.
You don't need to take in pride in anything
Do you desire to do something?
Then merely do it until you are satisfied
You do something because you feel that it must be done, no more, and no less. Do not assign false moral value to something that only has as much worth as you decide it has.
If you feel something is crap, then strive to improve on the imperfection
If you wish you had done better on a project, identify the shortcomings and ruminate on how to overcome them in the future.
Positivity isn't what you need. It's certainty.
EvaUnit01
Kept you waiting, huh?
Indeed. The only true certainty, is what has already happened.
But the future... I cannot understand it until it has already come to pass. It terrifies me.
True happiness, then... would be to know all that is yet to come. Even if it is terrible, you can at the very least make peace with it.
...there is one major reason I'm not fond of JJBA Part 6. And the reason is... it is because I cannot shake the feeling that Enrico Pucci had the right idea.
Not really.
There are two certainties.
The past. And yourself.
If you stand firm upon a rock then not even the mightiest storm can move you.
It's as simple as that.
He didn't.
Freedom from fear of the unknown is not happiness. But the will to embrace the present without fear of the past nor the future can be called a kind of happiness.
There's two kinds of people. Those who live for love. And those who live for pride.
Those who live for pride will never be happy. But by living for what we ourselves choose, we can accomplish what we wish in this world, and die satisfied.
