  • "Maybe the reason you don't see it is that it's stuck to your back. [...] So if someone is jealous of somebody else, well, then, it's probably because it's easier to see the plum on someone else's back than it is on your own. -TOHRUU HONDAAAA :DD

  • Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exists in this reality are merely Pain. Suffering and Futility.

    brash10

  • I love sword art online, while other anime strengthens your imagination and because you become hikikomori. Sword Art Online makes me want to meet with new friend who loves Kenjutsu and follow sword competitions (rapier, saber, long sword).
