*disassociates while playing rhythm game and somehow gets a perfect score*
yeah it’s called the Rhythm Game Trance State and it’s guaranteed to get you a Perfect score but only if you lose 90% of your awareness of the surrounding universe and float off into another dimension while your hands remain in the material world to break lose all hell on a poor game controller
and god forbid you get Aware again in the middle of your combo because your brain will try to take over and it will do a shit job of it
I see some HEATED debates over the risks of “toying” with ouija boards in Halloween/horror groups I follow and I just want to say a ouija board is literally a toy for kids and if polterghosties existed I’d still seriously doubt that a piece of wood invented by Milton Bradley is a real magical conduit to their dimension
At least in my opinion, there are certain things that a person must be willing and able to do in order to count as truly evil. Murder (not to be confused with killing in self-defense or in defense of a loved one or innocent being), rape, torture, etc. This is not to say that everybody has done one of these things is automatically evil – some of the worst crimes against humanity have been done by people who were just “following orders”, which is still absolutely awful, but cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug and I feel like a truly evil person wouldn’t need nor care about justifying their atrocities. I guess to me, it’s like this: all evil people are bad people, but not all bad people are evil people. It’s about reasons – most evil people do evil things because they want to and enjoy it, while most non-evil people do evil things because they have convinced themselves that those things are necessary for the greater good.
That is why I say that Izaya is not evil.
Shiki of Awakusu-Kai himself said that he believes Izaya is too much of a coward to ever actually kill anybody, I FIRMLY believe that Izaya would never, COULD never rape a person (if you believe otherwise, that’s your prerogative, but I like my Izaya with hard-limits and a fear of anything that might lead to Feelings, and that includes sex), and while I think that he himself might believe he has the guts to torture a person, I don’t think he’d actually be able to go through with it.
