Correcting vision is aesthetically superior to having good vision, because the latter is no virtue, while the former is the very teleology of virtue applied to sight (in turn very symbolic).

Right now I'm experiencing a bad time because I'm part of a shadowrun group but they're doing decking right now and I'm a mage, so there's nothing to do, but I'm also really horny right now, so I want to take care of that, but I also hate my body and don't want to take care of that, but I'm also worried they might hear me over the microphone but I can actually mute that so nevermind.

On the other hand, Nietzsche said:

quote:

When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexually. Sterility itself disposes one toward a certain masculinity of taste; for man is, if I may say so, “the sterile animal.”
- Nietzsche

Which of course applies tremendously to the female dragon, from which it follows that female dragons would tend towards academic competence. So, pros and cons. There is of course the traditional psychoanalytic matter of sublimation at work here too.

And if myth is to be believed, male dragons lust only after human women. So either way, it sucks to be a female dragon. But it's worth noting that deformed men often get the attention of normal women, in fact often precisely because of their deformity via a kind of broken bird syndrome, while deformed women get the attention of neither deformed men nor regular men, but rather just fetishists and nobody else. The difference being that women are attracted to the character of deformed men, while men are attracted to the essence of the condition itself in the deformed woman. So much so that such men would probably gently caress the deformity directly were it possible.

Sorry. I am bad at judging what people want. And I am also, let's say, quite a bit narcissistic, in the most grotesque way; that I use the repulsion of others to affirm my image of myself. And I am the worst sort of liar, since I use the confusion of others to conceal my honesty, in that way managing to confess constantly of my sins without ever being held accountable for them. And so I tease you all, and I try to bait you into going further down the path, because of course greater and greater extremes are needed to get the same rush, to the point that I have prostituted my daemon herself at times. In fact, it is precisely this I have been trying to bait you into, in offering to recount my dreams and daemonic experiences. I must say that I am actually somewhat jealous of this Terra Malatora fellow, because this deformed, fetal outburst of his inner life that he had was murdered brutally; it at once became both dead and synonymous with him. It gained this dreadful fixity, so that now the name Terra Malatora forever means something pathetic and malformed. He will never have the burden of having to grow again, or for that matter to live again. His garden grew weeds and so it was salted and will never grow anything again. And I don't know why I lust for this, or what fear it is that drives me towards it, only I suspect some of it lives in the attitude of the Man from Underground of Dostoyevski:

quote:

Who would want to desire according to some table? And that’s not all: he would immediately be transformed from a person into an organ stop or something of that sort; because what is man without desire, without will, and without wishes if not a stop in an organ pipe?
- The man from underground

that I have encountered my Thelemic or Stoic or otherwise mystical "true will", my portion in God, and thus gained a certain fixity; but why does this fixity terrify me while the fixity of death and decay, of absolute ignominy does not, but rather strikes me as release? Perhaps it is a matter of getting the pain over with. You know the Zoroastrians believed that in death, one had to walk a literal narrow path, and that if one fell off, they would go into hell. And now that path is before me, and I yearn to fall into hell just to be rid of that dreadful stress of walking the path, so I come before you, you who turn lunatics into farcical martyrs, a kind of funhouse mirror distortion of martyrdom; I come before you and stealthily try to lay everything out, to set the stage, to bait you into coming along with me and destroying me, destroying me utterly. For if Lot had said to the men who came to rape the angels "Yes, I have them here, come in and know them", his sin would have exceeded all of Sodom's. In fact even in the time of Christ, in the time of forgiveness, such a sin couldn't possibly have been forgiven. And so it is the perfect thing for falling, for getting the fear and anxiety over with and done, for it must be suspected that even in heaven the anxiety doesn't end, as the rebellious angels were cast out of heaven for transgressing.

But perhaps I will start with this, since you have not taken the bait. It is a series of moral exhortations that came into my mind prior to my encounter with my daemon. Since it preceded her, it is still before the threshold to post, yet it bears undoubtedly a gleefully damning resemblance to the insipid code of Terra Malatora, insofar as it came similarly out of nothing, as it were. Yes it is all nonsense. Here, take it. I don't even follow it. I spite my daemon my daemon by not following it. Now let me be damned, and if not for this, then come forward and push me off this bridge, because I will not fight. It will not take much at all to send me into the pit.

quote:

I will never mistake discipline for rigidity,
it is better to act like a lunatic to good effect than to be a reasonable corpse.
I will use words as words and weapons as weapons,
all threats are either idle or redundant, they can only hurt the speaker.
No matter my principles, I will respect the price of my life,
many have died so that I may defend myself, and not all willingly.
I will recognize when the die is cast and commit myself fully,
there is no situation so bad that it's not made worse by wavering.

I will bear my inequities well,
all around me are examples. Let the raven be a reminder, there is opportunity even in death.
I will not whimper and withdraw for jealous want of control,
If I'm to be killed, then let me be something worthy of being killed,
for every true martyr proves that by living well, one survives death,
while the killers perish in life. There is no magic greater or more holy.
And though I may falter and fall short of an ideal,
I will remember that I live a mortal life and carry vulgar and draconic impulses.
This too shall I pay its due, and not curse myself,
for my soul has two parts, the base and the holy, and to neglect either is lethal.
I am a part of this world, not apart from it, and shall not forget it.

I also made a shotglass with a dragon on it. The dragon is asleep in a cave next to a barrel of beer, and a quote overhead says "Beer does more the Milton can, to justify God's ways to man"





I made it out of half a pill bottle, part of an index card, and a lot of packing tape.

The only dragon with cyberware is/was Eliohann, and his body retains a data jack, which was what allowed for Deus to take it over. Unfortunately, that technology was lost, but in a way that's good because it seems to have had the side effect of creating complete insanity. Fortunately, Eliohann persists as an e-ghost named Cerberus as far as I know, unless he was wiped out in Crash 2.0; I don't remember. If a dragon wants to deck, they have to basically psychically "ride" a metahuman decker, an experience which some deckers have described as "terrifying". Even Hestaby had a group of Otaku she used for this purpose, back when Otaku were a thing (and Hestaby hadn't been utterly hosed over yet). In short, the dual natured nature of dragons makes cyberware of any kind untenable, and non-human animals are difficult to design datajacks for at any rate.
