THE PROFILE OF KAISERPINGVIN
Hypocrite-loathing Hypocrite


「ただの人間には興味ありません。宇宙人、未来人、超能力者がいたら、あたしのところに来なさい。以上」。

Now I have a coauthor post at a blog. Go there, at least Pontifus can write good stuff.

Post-It: I have created a few clubs. Some of them might be worth joining.
The Thoughtful Discourses on Audiovisual Japanese Culture Club. Feel free to join, if you in some weird manner think this sounds exciting. And yes, the name is an homage to Genshiken.
The Discordian Cabal. If you have no idea what a "Discordian Cabal", you shouldn't join. But, eh, what the heck, do it anyway!
The Logophiliac Institution might be a horrid neologism, but it does what it's supposed to.
This is not a club I can be hold responsible, I'll sum it up in lolwut.
Post-It ends here.

What was that, that moving thing? It was merely in the corner of his eye, yet it consumed all his attention from the moment he caught that fatal glimpse onwards. As she shrubbery rustled when the thing disappeared again, he threw himself out, out into the green, and too was consumed in its green dephts. What was it? What was this reddish-grey mass that ran around in the forest? How could it steal his focus so? Yet those questions were a mere annoyance to him as he ravaged through the vegetation, throwing lumps of earth and rootwork around. Blomp, blomp, they hit the ground. He dirtied himself, smearing face and arms with mud and dirt. And...
Wasn't that...
Yes! The thing was there again! He tunneled through the air with a massive leap, face contorting in anticipation and exertion, teeth showing, arms extending, and he caught it! He caught it in his hands!
He brought it up... His catch. This fascinating thing.
A strip of bacon.



Philosophical, VERY pretentious, boring online yet somehow entertaining IRL, prideful, bored, excitable, moe-prone, wannabe intellectual, haruhiistic discordian, otaku, anarcho-communist, avoidance issues, odd phobia about feet touching things (including floor and ground)... That sums a lot of me up. The next cascade of text will be purely an epic show of egocentrism, non-physical masturbation, megalomaniac nonsense, which was pretty much included in those few adjectives and nouns anyway.

I am an easily excited fanboy, with a weak spot for pretty much anything that could be said as inducing fanboyism - I pray to Haruhi, idolize Kamina, awe over Sephiroth, and am generally moe about ten girls at the same time. In particular, I fall for green-heads. No idea why, yet the fact that green-heads almost always have so wonderful personalities certainly helps - Shigure Asa's simply love, Sonozaki Mion my ideal future girlfriend, Tsuruya-san awful cute and genki in just the right way, and Nel Tu a potato-sock of seldomly seen awesomeness (that she had a adult state ruined it - especially that she didn't lisp).

Me no native speaker, forgive if compassion is yes m(-.-)m However, I am obsessed with learning languages and constantly find new ones I want to learn. I, however, never find the actual energy to do so, leaving me an amazingly half-assed beginner in quite a few tongues. I am aiming at being duodecalingual by the time I reach thirty. I will, no doubt, horribly fail.

Music is no doubt important to me. Utterly tone-deaf, worthless singer and not-very-good pianist, but a very good listener. I'm fairly open-minded, but nothing beats a good ol' rock tune. Especially progressive rock, although metal of whatever variant is easily digested in my quite extensive music-digestion system. Jazz, reggae, ska, new wave and classic music are a few other favourite genres. For a briefing of the current state of affairs in the musical strata in my life, just look here and despair.

Anime then, the whole purpose of MAL. What do I like? What do I not like? And why didn't Leeron age at all in 27 years? A short summation of my all-time favourites would be... *drumroll*

• Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - Because Haruhi is Haruhi. Because, why watch 14 different shows in different genres when you can get it all in this single show? And just because.
  
• Monster - Slow-but-perfectly paced, psychological, filled with tension, intelligent.
  
• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Monster's direct antipode. Ridiculously unrealistic, absurd pace (almost FLCL-level), over-the-top action and Kamina.
  
• FLCL - The insanity, surreal tone and divinely inspired dialogue (which is so multi-layered Hemingway is put to shame)! How can a discordian not like this?!
  
• Neon Genesis Evangelion - 残酷な天使のテーゼ~！ The ending in the series made me happy. The EOE ending made me all giddy and I still cannot stop appreciating all the infinite ways you can interpret it all.
  
• Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Modernist experiments with form, high breath-taking pace, and humour so awesome your laughing is bound to rip some muscles in the diaphragm, made complete with sociology? I was sold.
  
• Baccano! - It reminded me why I love pulps, by bringing out several of the best qualitites held by the best of them. It is also told in the kind of ultra-fast, somewhat confusing way of storytelling I seem to prefer. Also, Vino!
  
• Gunbuster and Diebuster - 行け行けぼくらのガンバスタ！！Man, the ending of Diebuster was the only time I can remember I nearly cried from joy. It was expected, but so beautifully done. Also, massive epic levels of ridiculous ideas, and the first one actually understands the theory of relativity (with a certain addition by way of the ether).

I'm obsessed with tildes and use them endlessly, for aesthetic purposes and for the purpose of enlengthening a morpheme or phoneme. I pretty much never use it for grammatic reasons, as I know no spanish and my greek is most useless (I barely know when to use spiritus asper, dammit!).




Unapproachably my favourite character ever, anywhere. She's essentially the Nietzschean übermensch ideal condensed into a single, eccentric fictional character. A sexy fictional character, too. Her first realization of the futility of living as the masses, thinking as the masses and being as the masses - rejection of herd mentality. Then, being moral-less, she creates one for herself - based mainly on her drive to see interesting things (interesting things are, of course, first given the value of "being interesting") and some weird honour and pride. This would be rejection of morals and recreation of them. Finally, the power of her transformation into an übermensch is mirrored by the fact she's God - parallell to the fact that übermenschen replaces God, or rather usurps Him. This might be extended to the fact she even decides what is True, and that übermenschen are supposed to reject the platonian notion of "Truth" - the supreme, the super-real. The correlations with discordian beliefs and values are obvious, or so I see it at least - she's the role model for all us discordians.
On another, not totally unrelated note, spanish "Superhombre" is the best translation ever of any philosophical concept into any language.
The minor ü used is incorrect in German, which uses capital letters as the first in all nouns. Here I assume it's sufficiently used to be counted as an English word.

She's a troubled genius with a taste for bizarre (although sometimes rather harsh) jokes. Nothing has ever hit me more spot-on when it comes to representing what I desire to be - nothing has been more apt for my anima to project on. She's the idea of the kind of human I'd like to spend my life with. That felt horribly pathetic to say about a fictional character - yet it is the idea of how something approximating her in real life that is attractive.

In short - if you're female (or an effeminate man) resembling Urumi mentally and physically, you just might have to keep out of the way from me or I'll drool on you.

So - Urumi is teh hawt. So hawt I had to claim her.

Infinite thanks to De-JaY for the claim banner, and to melancholy for the idea of "claiming" and the execution.
Go claim you too!

OGT | 21 hours ago Toradora! v1 was amazing (see post), and I cannot wait to see it animated. I just hope J.C. Staff stays relatively faithful, and doesn't decide to re-interpret things. I have "fans" but I don't have people who'd stalk me relentlessly. Yet. The only person I know who is a diehard fan of me is a coworker, which makes work not fun for everyone but me and her. The writing thing, I know what you mean. I actually wrote an entire 70k word novel over, like, a year and a half. It was mind-numbing work (because I suck at characterization, not that it mattered much in what I was trying to do, which was space opera comedy) and I don't think I'd like to be a professional fiction author for a living. Writing non-fictiony stuff, though, is fine--my blog (or, rather, an entry on the blog I infrequently wrote on before I started my own) managed to land me a freelance job at Otaku USA as what I refer to as Senior Moe Correspondent. And just because I noticed it: I saw the club "Discordian Cabal", thought 'this is probably something that relates to Robert Anton Wilson", clicked, followed links, proved right. I bring this up because I bought The Illuminatus! Trilogy as a high-schooler expecting MAD COMEDY and instead got...incomprehensible nonsense. Which is, I guess, what he was shooting for. I tried to read it but gave up and it kind of sat around for a while until I got rid of it by having the library throw it away for me. You may, however, make fun of me, because I fail at literature. At the moment I am reading (painfully slowly) Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander, and enjoying it (it is a kid's classic after all). This is why I am about to get a History degree and not an English degree--getting an English degree would just piss me the hell off more than it was worth. The SF/F lit classes I took, though, were fun. Reply - Anime - Manga

kahoko | 07-03-08, 1:20 PM Hahahah! You're completely right, that sensation is awesome. I actually love playing the piano in every situation..makes me sooo happy! What kind of music do you prefer when it comes to play it? I myself prefer classical, but they won't let me just play that..teacher says I need to learn all genres (and he's right with that). As of hebrew, in case I learn it, I'll let you know right away!!! XD Reply - Anime - Manga

Thea | 07-03-08, 1:13 PM Hahaha, underbart. Du har iallafall glädje av lagen då. Man får se det som så. Moment 22 skall kollas upp, liksom Den Glada Vetenskapen, och jag hoppas bara att denne Friedrich skriver busigt, för jag behöver inte egentligen en överseriös tysk med rik ansiktsbehåring att tala om för mig hur saker och ting ligger till. Men som sagt, allt är värt en chans. Lolita har förresten varit över förväntan hittills (läser långsamt, mestadels på bussen till/från jobbet), utsökta meningsstrukturer, sanna mina ord och en mycket unik berättarstil har han också, vår käre ryss; redan när jag läste om hans moders död så frågade jag mig själv om man fick skriva som han gör (picnic, lightning), och han tycks ju ha en förkärlek för paranteser. Men det är inget negativt, å nej. Språket var rent av hårdare än jag väntade mig, och franska hade jag inte räknat med alls :P. Kommer nog att åka på att läsa om den igen någon gång, med en ordlista i hand. Hursomhelst så är det ju ett par månader till UppCon, så det är ju inte särskilt aktuellt ännu. Men jag ska allt peta på dig när det drar ihop sig och se hur det ligger till, ifall jag nu själv tar mig dit, vilket är en kvarstående fråga; hoppas kunna knycka någons bil denna gången. Men det hade varit lite småroligt att se mannen bakom alla witty remarks och duktiga ordbildningar; du får till det riktigt bra ibland, det skall du ha :P. Reply - Anime - Manga

OGT | 07-02-08, 6:04 PM That seems to be the big problem with my blog, as far as those kinds of things go, although, really, it's not an "episodic" blog in the sense that I post 50 zillion screencaps and have 50 word synopses and a two-word opinion ("That ruled!" or "That sucked!"). I generally assume you have watched the episode, but sometimes I dissect an episode, sometimes I use an episode to launch onto some kind of weird tangent about something else (the most recent example being the Real Drive episode involving books), and sometimes I just post random essays on something or another. I don't think it's necessary to follow every series I watch to read my blog, as there's usually something in there that could be applied to something else that I'm merely using the episode to demonstrate, but it certainly doesn't hurt. It's a very niche kind of thing, which is why I probably won't get as popular as some of the other blogs that do anything similar to what I do (I believe Owen S has stated that he has no idea what it is that I do (editorial? episodic?), but that didn't matter), but honestly I'd rather not have a ravenous zealous fanbase who thinks that I am God (or HRH) incarnate, as that would be frightening and terrifying and I'd crack under the strain of a fan-monitored life. But, yeah, I know my blog is kind of hard to follow unless you're totally caught up, but it's there for when you're watching something I've talked about in the past. Or something like that.

OGT | 07-02-08, 8:32 AM Yes, I dislike the asexualization of intellectual activity as well. Or, not necessarily that, but the kind of Victorian standard that sexuality is something to be repressed, and is socially taboo. Shakespeare, for instance, was amazingly sexually explicit--because he wrote so that both the aristocracy and the peasants could find something to be entertained by in his work. One isn't "immature" because one enjoys cheesecake (or things more explicit than cheesecake); arguably, one is more mature for admitting and being comfortable with one's own desires. And being comfortable with one's own desires doesn't preclude intellectual pursuit. Or something. I just want a full-size version of that Kyou image; I suspect it is hiding on danbooru somewhere.

OGT | 07-02-08, 7:15 AM Possibly, although I prefer the contrast between 10-dollar words and "here's bewbz". See, it proves my point that just because you like scantily-clad cute girls, it doesn't necessarily make one dumb or anti-intellectual, or anything like that. What good is intellectual entertainment if one can't counterbalance it with something totally hedonistic a la cute girls? Bonus points for putting both in the same work. Reply - Anime - Manga
