I AM ALIVE.

I've just been taking a break from fanfiction. I've recently been tanking a higher level English course, that for lack of better term, has kicked my ass. However I feel as though I'm a stronger writer, so look out for that in the future. BTW for those that voted in the poll your prayers will be answer DOAD will be the first to be updated. Other than that look out for some other updates as well as new fics (I can't help myself). Till then...

I took some time off and finally devised a really list worthy of being called the Top 10 Best Anime Villains, so here it is (as well as explanations for each):

Top Ten Anime Villains

10. Frieza – Ah the nostalgia… Looking back I think frieza’s biggest crime was his gender confusion; if you look pass the genocide of nearly a whole race of people and general coward tactics. However his place on the list is learned mainly because of the fact that he helped mold young minds to what a villain was.

9. Char Aznable – classic antagonist, equally skilled to the hero in almost every way, and almost ironically paints a perfect picture of what could have been for our protagonist. Can’t really get to deep into his character without revealing some major plot points, but many anime fans will attest that Char is one bad motherfucker.

8. Vicious – While possibly having the worse mononym for a villain, he manages to rise above it all by the mere power his existance has on the other character in the anime. Because seriously who could draw such a rise out of the series hero Spike? And lets not forgot his back handed criminal syndicate dealings and general skill at murder/manipulation.

7. Lucy – Loving Little Lucy. She was such a cute girl, but even cute girls go rotten when they have a childhood from hell. I mean look at that, they murdered a puppy in front of her. I’m not sure but I think that rates pretty high up on the child scarring scale. And I know some of you are like, “she’s an anti-hero”, and to counter I simply say. So the end justifies the means now? As long as the last antagonist is defeated, you can go Virginia Tech on as many innocent by-standers as you like? What, that’s not kosher yet?

6. Naraku – While I understand the whole evil in a past life so I’m being punished in this one angle, what draws me to Naraku is his inability to die! I mean Inuyasha and co. is constantly slicing this guy to ribbons and yet he keeps popping up fresh as a daisy. Not to mention the fact that he is the originating factor to all the conflict in the series is a major plus for him.

5. Knives – Now while many can say Knives is an awesome villain just because of his general apathy towards human life, I think we as a people should take time to look at the psychology damage done to his brother. Destruction of July, Rem, and most of Vash’s innocence I think its safe to say that he deserves to be on this list.

4. Femto – While I’ not overly familiar with the Berserker series, I have watched enough to get the basic gist of this Femto guy. Honestly though he had me at raping his best friend’s girl, nearly killing them, and raising up to take his place as a Dark God of sorts. Plus having his aborted bastard child by his friends girl torment the man just screams evil.

3. Aizen Sosuke – Now although this man is a new comer to the anime world I think the scene where he impales his naively loyal lieutenant upon their reunion spells it all out. You can pretty much tattoo mind-fucked on her forehead after that one. However I think it’s this following act of revealing himself to all of Soul Society, AFTER rendering most of them incapable of fighting him, is what cements his place as number 3 in my head. And no homo but is it just me or does anyone else think he goes from gay school teacher to villainous porn star when he get rid of the glasses?

2. Sephiroth – Sorry but seriously what villain has his own theme song who chorus is actually a choir chanting his name? Pretty damn bad ass. And I know some of you are thinking, he’s not an anime villain! But truth be told with the release of animated theatrical film, ole Sephiroth here is now an anime villain. However out of respect of the competition I won’t give him first place because a majority of his fame comes from the video game prequel to the movie. And for the few of you that don’t know Sephiroth is like the poster child for test tube babies gone wrong. With the mad scientist Hojo as a father and what can only be described as Mother Nature’s evil twin Jenova as a mother, Sephiroth was molded into the perfect warrior by the mega-conglomerate’s private army SOLDIER. If that weren’t bad enough he spends his free time burning down towns filled with childhood memories, as well as planning to take to the planet to the Promised Land. Which wouldn’t be bad, if he didn’t already deem all of mankind unworthy to go and instead only intends to ride the lifeless husk of the planet to the promised land after killing all of its inhabitants bar himself and his mother.

1. Kira/Light – Now I know so of you are thinking. How can you follow up Sephiroth with Light? Well the answer is simple, for despite all the unholy, and seemingly god-like superpowers the rest of the list holds, Kira is the worst of them because he was simply an average person (not unlike you or I) before stumbling upon the Death Note. With it the surprisingly bright boy was transformed into a monster devoid of any scrupled that’s willing to pass judgment on anyone he deems guilty. Most importantly it’s the fact that Kira represents the potential for in evil in all of mankind that earns him the number one spot, because after watching him I could only ask myself one, frightening question.

Would I be any different given the same opportunity?

Surprisingly no Naruto villains made it up there. Can't really be mad seeing as one I made it and two none of them really stand out, because Kishimoto always went back and tried to make their actions justifiable. Oh well ever onwards as the saying goes.

Favorite Quotes:

~Shino winced as he witnessed the Uchiha’s attempt at psychological warfare. While it was a valid tactic in many circumstances, this wasn’t one he’d personally recommend.

When the examiner said “Begin!” there was a green blur of motion that ended in a loud crack.

Naruto was standing in the space formerly occupied by the Uchiha, fist extended. Shino noticed that his eyes were a much darker shade of blue than normal, almost a deep purple.

As for Sasuke, he was flying backwards, landing in a boneless heap three and a half meters behind his starting position. There was a large lump already forming on the side of his jaw as he bounced once before sliding to a halt. To Shino’s untrained eye, it was quite apparent that the last Uchiha had sustained a broken jaw.

Gekkou Hayate stared at the clearly unconscious boy as the one who struck him turned and began marching toward the exit. Clearing his throat, he announced, “Winner, Uzumaki Naruto.”~

Ch. 14 Team Eight By: S'TarKan

“I simply remembered. Every time I ruin his life, he gives me this wounded look, exactly like that of a retarded puppy you’ve just kicked, who looks at you with hurt and surprise because it has forgotten the last time you kicked it, but dimly starts to recall that you have kicked it before, and that you will kick it again.” He paused. “I treasure that look.”

Favorite Pairings:

Naruto

I gotta say Hinata and Naruto. I mena they compliment eachother so well, Naruto's confidence brings out the best in her while she's quiet and shy making him loss that annoying loud trait. As for Naruto and Sakura before I thought it's alright, but how she is in the beginning to him is just wrong. But now, after some souls searching, I can't stand the pairing. Maybe its the fact that my male mind can't wrap itelf around liking a girl who has emotionally hurt me for little to no reason. They can be friends but not lovers. Also Hinata liked him since, what, the Academy and for Sakura just to start liking him would be a bit unfair. Sakura and Sasuke is pretty good, but Sasuke has got to lose that superiority complex. Shikamaru and Ino fit well, I mean it's a bum and a busybody thats funny, andif Shikamaru goes with Temari then Ino goes with Chouji case close. Neji and Tenten thats written in stone, and for Rock Lee its either Sakura or an OC. Occasionally I'll find something so good I don't care about the pairings ex: New Nindo. Not a Yaoi person that is all I got to say. Read below for fully thoughts.

Inuyasha

Kagome and Inuyasha are good, but their is way too much of that and Inuyasha tries so hard to lose Kagome its sickening. Don't get me started on his necrophilia, but to each his own. Kagome and Sesshomaru is good, but like Sakura and Saskue, Sesshomaru needs to lose the superiority complex. Miruko and Sango gotta love it, and Ayami and Kouga are wolf demons said and done. As for Rin and Shippou that one is really good and cute too. Rin and Sesshomaru can be good, but most of the time it just has that incest feeling. Personally I am not a Yaoi person and never will be, but that does not mean I am Homophobic I have a few gay friends they just can't try that stuff with me and we're cool. Two girls are a fantasy and that is it. The only reason I like that is because all guys yes every single straight man has wanted to have to twogirls at once.

Favorite Book: 'Battle Royale' by Koushun Takami, 'Hobbit', 'Hot Zone' and 'Cobra Event' (medical thrillers. the possiblity of it all is the scariest). 'Eragon' and 'Eldest' are both good dispite the critisim, just don't go see the movie (especially if you've read the book). I am currently awaiting the seventh and final Harry Potter along with book Three of Inheritance Trilogy (Eragon), I may get into Dragonlance but I am probably going to stick with fanfiction for now.

Things I Enjoy Writing:

Most favorite thing to write about are villians. Why you may ask? Well the reason is because villians, can just run wild having no responsibly or morals the emulate the anti-thesis of every hero. Examples would be while Naruto said faithful to Konoha even through all the hatred, Sasuke left at first chance because of a promise for power, shrinking his duties. Also villians attitudes are some of the most interesting things to get into, for example you have your classic sociopath, Hidan, who kills for his religion. Hidden analogies to current world problems, hell yes, and the fact remains that even with his psychopathic urges he maintains a humorous disposition about almost anything (i.e. getting his head chopped off and complaining).

Another personal like I have is making Naruto related to a a major clan, Hyuuga, Uchiha, etc. One because it makes subtle changes you can twist anyway, and two because the politics involved adds another layer of depth to the story. Seeing as the clans wont take Naruto's adoption lying down, character development really gets time to shine and in the end you usually end up with a super power Naruto who has one of two enemies plotting behind his back.

Last my favorite thing to do is twist hte storyline into such an inconceivible not that you pretty much have the reader following you instead of the regular storyline. Its a good release for my creative side and it really helps with clearing my mind (before cluttering it again with thoughts of what to do next.) Well thats enough of my vocal introspective and hopefully you will scroll down and read one of my fics. Til the next update...

Current Projects:

Stigma: IS UP FOR ADOPTION PM IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING OVER! HOWEVER UNTIL THEN THE STORY WILL REMAIN DELETED

Death Of A Demon, Birth Of A...: This one is going to be good, I can feel it. Naruto not the orange waring idiot waiting for someone to guide him, no his a intelligent boy whose going to change the world with or without a sensei's help. Furthermore dude I don't know what it is but I seem to keep making this plot more and more twisted and by the time the timeskip hits you'll either hate me or love me.

Naruto: Fate's Rewrite- t on Naruto's death and fate fixing the problem, but not before everything goes to Hell. Dude this one's going to be EPIC, for all I have planned I want this to be my masterpiece (although from the way things are going DOAD, BOA just may be it instead), however please take a look at this it's way better than the first chapter implies (seriously take a look it is my baby).

Naruto: Legend of the Phoenix Force: Marvel fans rejoice this one's for you. NaruHina

Saved: SAME AS STIGMA

Future Projects:

Family Legacy: AU A world Konoha set in a more modern era (Don't worry it won't get rid of the ninja roots), a world were open warfare is taboo, and a world where those who rule are the bosses of the underworld. So enters Naruto descendant of the First Mafia Boss, and the secret lover of a rival family's fiance?! Chaos ensues...

Fallen One: After being killed at a young age Kyuubi being the lord of Hell decides to do something good for a change, and unleash a monster which the likes the world has never seen, besides himself that is. Now watch as a young Naruto grows up outside the 'care' of Konoha and is thrown into the even harsher world around him. NarutoHarem

Legend of The Fire Emblem: When the world shinobi's collided with medievil warfare, all arts of the ninja are lost in the fires of war. However when a blonde mercenary enters the country land of Fire he sets of a chain of events to reclaim his ninja hertiage as well as become the Hero he was meant to be. (Oh yeah this is the Fire Emblem crossover) Naru??

Gift Of Fire : After being on the receiving end of yet another beating, Naruto finds that he is fated for more especially when he realizes exactly who his parents are and what they left him. Naruto??

Thoughts About The Recent Developments In Naruto:

To tell the truth I am okay with how the Naruto: Shippuden is going. I mean I know that everyone is all "Sasuke is too strong" or he's "Evil now", but really he is the only person that has said in character of his genin teammates. How may you ask? Because unlike Naruto, who strayed from his dream to become Hokage to letting a promise run his every thought in the second season, and Sakura, who has vowed to change herself to help Naruto get Sasuke back; Sasuke has always remained true to his goal, kill Itachi at all cost. With that said the Valley of the End fight wasn't that big of a surprise, nor was his recent skill developments. I mean come on if you look at it all he's gotten were: some sword skills, several variations of the root jutsu Chidori, more speed, a bit better control of his curse seal, and snake abilities (which he didn't get until Orochimaru tried to take over his mind). Pretty he hasn't done anything but take the abilities he's already had trained with them, the only exception being the sword skills and snake jutsu but new things are expected over time. However I will say in new attitude is f-ing hilarious to me; example being summoning Manda to take the blunt of Deidara's kamikaze blast to survive, thus killing Orochimaru's oldest summon pet. This is just him becoming more Itachi like, which is fitting because if he ever does kill him at the rate he's going he will just be Itachi's mirror image thus making himself a living reminder of what he spend his life trying to kill. With that said I hope you can see why I'm still satisfied with Naruto because seriously the way Kishi is playing up Sasuke, the Uchiha Survivor's fall will be so epic and so hard that I'm pretty sure I just may die laughing

Double P.S. Shout out to Dragon and Sword Master for his masterful ways in the art of editting fics, because without him my grammer would kill all of us (seriously).

Which Bleach character are you? I scored as a Urahara Kisuke

You are Urahara Kisuke. You always seem to know more than you let on. You have a tendency to act like a dork sometimes, but become unbelievably serious the next moment. You have great strength and you believe in others' strengths. Your qualities make you a likable yet hatable person. Don't let your sarcasm get in the way of your growing friendships.
