what's your #?

a meme about what it says on the tin.

1. post with your character, canon, prefs if you like
2. include in your comment the number of individual sexual partners your character has had (feel free to headcanon it up; zeroes are valid)

3. comment to others. be surprised, scandalised, delighted, etc.

Yup... Persona 4's side story canon can get... weird. But now you know where I the rper got the idea

Well we did sort of evolve from animals, so the basest of our instincts are to eat and uh... procreate. If you're talking about billions of people, the odds that one or two in there want to combine the two things in weird ways isn't too unexplainable.

[That doesn't make it better but it does explain it a little... maybe? She's not going to go into the whole desire to be one thing, or power dynamics because... this is probably ewwie enough that this poor goddess needs brain bleach. Which is kind of impressive from a woman who was willing to go through horrors that were too unspeakable for her ex.]

But humanity is pretty self-destructive in its desires. That's one of the reasons we had to stop you in the first place. We might desire something, but that doesn't mean we should actually go through with it in reality. So having a safe outlet for your unhealthy desires is practically part of being human. Some people write, some people draw, others create tv shows which is why the midnight channel became a thing...

[She's just gonna sigh because... yeah... she still kind of feels for Izanami.]

When we fought shadows in your world we could use our powers, or certain items from our world that wouldn't normally do much of anything in our world, to revive one another. If someone were to per se... do something that caused their friend to die in your realm, would reviving them through these
means still work if it was done in your realm?

[See? She's not even trying to ask her to use her powers to bring her cannibalized friend back! She's trying to let her have as little to do with it as possible.]

It's amazing

[That...does indeed explain a few things. There was a logic there, twisted though it may sound at first. Human desires were stranger than she thought they were.]

...There's still so much I fail to understand about you all, Daughter of Man.

Although...I suppose if those unhealthy desires are suppressed, that can birth a Shadow in its own right. As you said, the Midnight channel was born from that, in part.

It seems contradictory that humanity would be happier if the very things they desire are withheld from them.

[The shock was slowly starting to wear off as she started to think through this rationally. However convincingly she could act human, there was definitely a noticeable disconnect.]

As to the question... yes, I see no reason it would fail.

Isn't it just? Also thanks for being so cool about this, this was a hilarious and fun thread.

Aww, don't feel too bad about it. Mankind doesn't entirely understand mankind all the time either.

[The only reason Chie understands as much as she does is because of everything they'd been through trying to find the truth.]

Mankind is usually at its happiest when its in pursuit of happiness, and oftentimes we don't know what we'll do once we've actually gotten what it is we're chasing after. It's one of the reasons we keep progressing, all the way to the moon and back.

[Aaaaaand she's going to do her best to withhold her excitement because uh... it's probably something that Izanami would prefer not to know about as much as possible.]

Sweet! Hey, if there's anything I can do to repay the favor... or cheer you up or something? Your heart's in the right place, trying to help humanity and all. We're just kind of a... messed up species.
