Enemy, Soldier

So. I like ranting a lot. Ranting is fun and cathartic, good for stress-relief and letting out pent-in anger. Cathartic is good, yeah? So I've really enjoyed this week on perspectives (yay for writing everything but third-omniscient), even though I probably should've contributed more to class discussions. Also, looking through the rest of the calendar, I am SADDENED that we aren't reading "The Pugilist at Rest," its pretty amazing. And Sea Oak, because everything about it is HILARIOUS. AND FABULOUS. Male strippers, yay! As for this week, Silver Water was great, I envy those metaphors. Some seriously fantastic images in there. And even though we talked a lot about Communist today... I don't know, it just doesn't ring with me.

Enemy, Emperor

Getting over my writer's block and procrastinating. Have a piece inspired by the complete lack of truly sympathetic villains in video games. There's like, 2-3. Seriously. And most games don't even TRY to make sympathetic enemy rulers. Or they do, but fail horribly. This is saddening. Ergo, here's my attempt. Placed within some generic fantasy world. Because video game heroes are hypocrites and what really constitutes a hero anyways?
