Greetings, everyone.

Originally, I was going to inquire about everyone's thoughts on birthdays and whether or not to adjust for time discrepancies between here and back home, but then I stumbled upon something most peculiar.

Phanfiction.net

This is a real site, and it seems to be run largely by the cognitions. There are stories about us, and many of them are quite absurd.

One of the summaries is...

"Falcon struggles with whether or not to honestly answer a captcha."

And then there's...

"Aki-chan brings home a pet dinosaur and has to hide it in his closet."

There are... interesting stories about myself and some of the people I am close to. There's even a fic about Igor's supposed history as a heartbreaker.

But perhaps the most perplexing is a bizarre love triangle between Falcon, Phoenix, and the Ren that goes by Fiend.

At any rate, read at your own discretion. I think it's all rather absurd and worth a laugh, but there is the ethical concern of our likenesses being used without consent.

is it a sign that i'm fucked up that i'm vaguely horrified by the usage of gun oil as a personal lubricant but the premise of the fucking thing itself barely phases me

... I was going to say 'yes', but then I remembered you live in hell.

Even so: yes.

i know they're just cognitions but i will never understand why people feel entitled to do shit like this

Despite it all, I should've seen it coming.

The incident where someone decided it was a great idea to spam my food blog with links to their... stories about myself and the leader of the Phantom thieves is one I'd rather not think too much about. Even still, it didn't feel as real back then, because it wasn't even me, just a persona I'd been forced into.

This is... well. The less said about this the better.

it's because celebrities aren't really people to them. not really. all they see is this product that they can project their fantasies onto, and you'll be very lucky if they'll take a firm 'no' at face value

it's so unreasonably stupid, too, it's the same mindset that drives people to think the pretty waitress who's always smiling

actually likes them

it couldn't possibly be that it's their job to be pleasant and charming for the customers or the cameras, no, there has to be a connection.

The entitlement of humanity continues to astound me day after day.
