But you are attached to yourself how could you possibly lose yourself

Our physical bodies are always changing, but can you really be considered the same person if your mind is completely different? Or are you instead merely a stranger living in the shell of your former life, a twin of the person people once knew, a foreigner in your own stolen body?

Actually, the brain is the most long-lived of the organs, as it's cells do not regenerate.

That's not a very nice thing to say to P=NP. He is always welcome here.

Actually, the brain is the most long-lived of the organs, as it's cells do not regenerate.

Actually, they do, just very slowly. Most of your brain cells are replaced at 40, I believe.

[knottedOdyssey]

ATTENTION EVERYONE.
KNOTTEDODYSSEY IS CONFIRMED TO BE NEEDLESTUCK.
WE MAY OR MAY NOT NEED TO CHECK HER INTO REHAB.

Nope just chronically ill! WOO

She likes to stab, so we shall put her in rehab, but then she might become a crab. Well, maybe not if we take away her gift of gab. Off to the lab! Just a dab of Tab will help. Okay, we're done here, call a cab.

That was fab, guys.

uh

yup pretty much.

you guys are odd but wonderful.

I specifically decided not to say that our bodies regenerated because of this. Instead I said that they are "changing." Which is true.

This is the longest I've gone using a word-based gimmick without it becoming second nature to me. Usually crazy spellings or funkatronic handwriting quirks and the ilk become reflexive for me at this point.

[megaminxwin]

Right. So I'm back. No new update. Meh. Didn't this happen before with Descend or something? I can wait a little longer.

[P_equals_NP]

No what happened with Descend was infinitely worse. We don't speak of Descend.

(And yet it was also glorious so it all worked out.)

"Cerebral cortex neurons" or something never regenerate, and when one of them dies that's it, that's the end, no laughs, no friends, no girl; just the gin you drink till you car spin you then Damn!

I love writing print letters in the fanciest ways possible. If I see someone write a letter that I like, I instantly copy it. I write my 4s and 3s the alternative ways of writing them, and I make lots of curvy lines at the tails of letters like 'y's and 'g's.

[Everanix]

Geez guys, I leave for an hour or two and...

Well, not much happens actually.

I think the fizzle has gone out of this relationship, forum.

We need an update to spice things up.

I do a lot of swoopy curliques when I sign my name in cursive. They go up at the end of my first name and down at the end of my last name.
My cursive isn't very smooth, though.

Huh. I always thought that and I heard otherwise somewhere. I guess that somewhere was wrong. Silly me!

I had excellent handwriting. I was the envy of doctors everywhere.

Then I took calligraphy.

Now chickens can't even read my swirly scratches.

I agree. We went into this with so much promise, but now there's nothing moving.

I never learned cursive. My signature is either this super cool faux cursive which I am really good at or more commonly (see all the time for any actual things) I just write normally but super slanty without lifting the pencil and as sloppy as possible.

My g is modeled off the lowercase g in google. I would do something fancy with my 'y's but it tends to slur into something else.

The other things I've done with my handwriting is bubbling the dots of my i's and j's, making j's have a slight cedilla (more like an upside question mark when I think about it), I write all my e's as epsilons (the lunate version), I curl my t's, I cross my 0's and z's, use && to replace the usage of 'and'. There are a few more things I've been planning on adding, but I haven't had time yet.

You should see my mom sign her name. It is literally just a series of loops that are completely unrecognizable as letters, but really hard to duplicate exactly.
She's a lawyer, though. Unintelligible signatures are practically a requirement, or so she tells me.

She is correct, sadly.

I would do all of these things except they take too much time when I am rushing to finish homework.

I do like to use ampersands, though. Actually, I've been curling my 't's and crossing my 0's lately.

[P_equals_NP]

After a while of usage, they become surprisingly second nature. Particularly I have gotten really good with my loopy g's which used to be the absolute worst.

[oogley]

Oh man. Handwriting. I do that thing where I mix cursive and print, so it looks like a bunch of weird loops and lines. I can only write neat is I write REALLY small.

[knottedOdyssey]

We're talking about handwriting?
Mine is horrible and messy, which is strange since I'm female.
Sometimes I write in cursive but only when I'm tired.

My favorite thing to do is making fancy 'm's, like how they are in Vriska's sign, except without the arrow. I should try doing the loopy 'g'.

[User 18]

I don't like needles because I am afraid of physical pain that isn't of the NO PAIN NO GAIN variety. I would say it is the only thing in the world that could truly be used to make me lose myself.

The only needles I agree to are 30 gauge or smaller. Also,

The story isn't quite up to my usual standard, but I wanted to get it done for today. I was experimenting with a slightly different style than I usually use. Does anyone like it?

Pain. That was all she knew. Pain of a kind she had never experienced. Pain that definitely should not exist when she was lying safe in her respiteblock. Terezi Pyrope's dreamself faded from her awareness as her mind returned to her physical body. She opened her eyes. Were anyone watching, they might have seen her blink. Yes, her eyes were open. Where then, was her sight?

Blind.

Blind!

Where was she? Certainly not in her hive. Terezi heard the air moving gently through the trees around her, felt the powerful Alternian sun beat down on her brow. Much more of it, and she'd be losing more than her vision. She walked toward what she thought was the nearest tree, hoping to hide in its shade. A cautious step, moving slowly. A second. A third. A fourth. A--

Falling. Falling was much scarier when you didn't know how far, or when you would land. Was this how Tavros felt? Terezi landed on her side with a thud. She felt a root under her toes. Maybe it was better not to move after all. It wasn't as if she would make it home any time soon. She didn't even know where home was. Terezi curled into the most comfortable position she could find, and waited for death to come. When sleep came first, she let it take her. There was no point in dying awake.

Blind.

Blind!

In troll society, a blind troll is as good as dead. They are unable to fend for themselves, and their lusus can only do so much. Unless they can find some way of compensating for their disability, they're simply a culled troll walking. It's only a matter of time. Disabled trolls that do function in society are shunned. They never reach their full potential, never realize their destiny. It is almost kinder to the disabled to let them die quietly, rather than live their lives in constant fear.

Pyrope. The sound rumbled through the streets of Prospit. Terezi's dreamself lifted her head. Pyrope. No-one else noticed. Carapacians continued their business, milling about on either side of her. PYROPE. The voice came a third time. Terezi would have sworn the buildings shook around her, but still there was no reaction. What? she thought.

A series of images, thoughts, emotions overwhelmed her. Smells. Sounds. Tastes. Huh. Colors had much different tastes than she'd imagined. Red was...exquisite. Pyrope. The voice jerked her back to reality, or, at least, as close as being on Prospit came to reality. Remember. Terezi cast her mind back, back, searching her mind for what the voice could mean.

Pyrope. Clear your mind. You know who I am. Cutting through the fog of her own mind, Terezi broke into her own memories. Welcome back, little one. Thoughts came flooding back. Feelings. Emotions. Vriska. Was she alive? Was she dead? Do I care?

It surprised Terezi to realize she did care. Little one. Terezi emerged from the cavern that was her own mind, looking around the suddenly clear street. What had seemed sharply focused a moment ago took on a blur, almost as if she was looking through a fine mesh. I remember. I remember you!

Good. It is time you learn to see again. Terezi's focus wavered. Darkness played around the corners of her vision. Irrevocable, blind darkness. Eyes and vision are not as connected as one might think. I have given you a taste of what you can experience. Terezi recalled the brief moment of clarity. Smells crisper than any color. Sounds clearer then a drop of dew. It was almost better than vision. Listen to me and I will guide you.

Darkness enveloped Terezi's entire right eye now. The field of vision in her left narrowed to a small circular region. Trust me, as you ought, and I will make up for years of neglect. Terezi's vision faded to a tiny pinprick of light. Accept me, and I will ensure you life.

The pinprick of light faded to darkness.

Permanent,

Untouchable,

Darkness.

Blind!

Blind.

Blind. And a survivor. Following the voice of her lusus, Terezi's body rose from its place on the Alternian soil, and took a shaky step, then a second. Nose high in the air, mouth open, tasting the wind, Terezi Pyrope stood blind in a forest, sun at its peak, and laughed into the wind. Nothing could keep a determined troll from her calling.

Blind!

And yet...

Not.

New Minecraft images as well. Avatar sizes available on request. Who am I kidding. Needs more pillows.

Terezi:

E: I have no idea why this image is not working. Will fix soon.
E2: Apparently this edit fixed it?

[Everanix]

I dot my i's with circles and do big swoopy capital letters and tails.
