"He's so far out of the loop, he doesn't even know there is a loop." - Shikamaru, Naruto (story of my life, really...)

"If I were the rain

"We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful
because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge,
unable to step out into the sky
like that fearless flower." - Manga Tagline, Bleach

"What a letdown, Kurosaki-san, a real letdown... After all, there is nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you're afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you're afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you're afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, "I won't let them cut me." If you protect someone, "I won't let them die." If you attack, "I will kill them." Well, can't you see the resolve to kill you in my sword?" - Urahara, Bleach

"Apparently, on this side, "ultimate master" means a windbag with diarrhea of the mouth." - Uryu, Bleach

"Are you sure you don't want to see this smooth skin of a young woman? This will be the last time..." - Yoruichi, Bleach

"No matter how many times I do this, it results in a wonderful reaction from you, Ichigo!" - Yoruichi, Bleach

"Ichigo... I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, this sky become clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easy. Can you understand... the horror of being pelted by rain in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world. Ichigo, trust me. You are not fighting alone." - Zangetsu, Bleach

"My goal is complex, yet simple. Easy, yet hard. I would like to ignite the flames within the hearts of the people. Flames produce light. Light drives away the darkness. Flames in many people remain unlit, and darkness surrounds them. However, when walking through a dark cave with a torch, one must only use the flame from their torch to set ablaze the torches on the wall. This brightens the room. So it is my duty as a holyman to travel the Worlds, seeking unlit flames. If even so much as a single spark is ignited in an unlit flame, my work is done with that person. The more lights there are, the brighter the room is. So if every heart was lit with purifying light, the darkness would be driven away by the overwhelming intensity of the bright light. That is my goal... My dream." - Preacher the Armored Holyman, in a Kingdom Hearts RolePlay

"No one can see me for who I am. All they see is the mask I wear. Am I real? Am I a shadow or just an illusion?" - Harpyqueen, DeviantART

"Outer beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but real beauty is in the heart and is what the eye cannot give witness. ..We often glance over some of the most beautiful and amazing people. We judge people on how they look, act, and speak, which is a pity." - Harpyqueen, DeviantART

"Who yelled freak? I'm right here." - Nekozuki114, DeviantART

"It's nice to have something to believe in, but when you make religion your whole life and try to convert other people to your religion, you might've gone a bit too far." - Unknown

"Why am I supporting your dream, you ask? Well, it's simple, really... You have a dream, as do I. We both have dreams... I want to believe in every single dream this world has to offer... Everyone has a dream... And I want to support and help every person I find with a dream. Because if dreamers don't find kindness in other people's hearts, they stop dreaming. And without dreamers, there would be no heroes." - Unknown

"Friends are what keep a person alive. Without friends, a person is just an empty shell." - Unknown

"Hugs make miracles happen. They can give a person a boost of energy, settle a person's fears, and even save a person from death. If that's not miraculous, I don't know what is." - Unknown

"Three things in this world rule over all others. When all three of these things combine, anything can be accomplished. They are teamwork, friendship, and love. Never doubt the power of even one of these things, for their power can do anything." - Unknown

"When you stand up to fight, consider this: What is your reason for fighting? Though you may not realize it, everyone fights to protect something. Whether this 'something' is a person, an object, a place, an ideal, a moral code, or even one's pride. We all fight to protect something. And when you realize that what you're protecting is truly worth the fight, you can accomplish anything." - Unknown

"One should not converse with sleep-talkers. The words of the dream realm were never meant to be heard by waking ears." - Unknown

"The Brothers of Death have one last dance with the reaper before them, and it's best we're not late." - Hayabusa Zin, "Brother Fox, Sister Falcon: Path to Genin", Naruto

Un-Favorite Things!
(In order from most hated to least hated, unless otherwise noted)

Food: Carrots (carrot cake is one of my favorites, though)

Anime: Anything censored by 4Kids.

Manga: Love Hina

Show: Any reality show, most sitcoms

Movie: Any horror movie except Eight Legged Freaks and the Evil Dead series.

Song: Anything by Gewn Stafani and Mariah Carey

Cartoon: Ren and Stimpy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island, Jonny Test, Spongebob Squarepants

Video Game: I dislike arcade games and RPGs that require you to stop in the middle of the game to spend hours level-building (points an accusing finger at the first Star Ocean).

Male: Never met a male character I didn't like. Real people, on the other hand, are a different story.

Female: I HATE FLURRIE FROM PAPER MARIO 2 AND COLETTE FROM TALES OF SYMPHONIA! (foams at the mouth) Also, Akane from Ranma 1/2 and Kagome from Inuyasha are both bitches who're constantly menstruating (no offense. I'm not supporting the stereotype regarding "that time of the month").

Animal/Creature: I'm terrified of bugs!

Pokemon: Mr. Mime (and somehow I JUST KNEW they were gonna call Mr. Mime's pre-evolution "Mime Jr.")

Quotes:

"It's (insert random ability here) Kirby!" - Meta Knight

"(insert random ability here) Kirby?" - Random Person, usually Tiff

"What's that?" - Ash before he uses his Pokedex on Pokemon (I swear to god, they only recorded the voice actor saying "What's that?" ONCE and then use that same recording every time Ash uses his Pokedex on a new Pokemon)

"(insert random "shell" "hell" pun here)" - Any one of the Ninja Turtles on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (They say a "shell" pun at least a few times per episode. Typically "What the shell?" or "Aw, shell!". See for yourself. Casey even said one once.)

In a chapter of "Kaikinisshoku: Total Solar Eclipse", I included a human Amaterasu and a regular-sized Issun. Well, I'd like to supply some images for those who read the fanfic who have not played Okami.
