I was going to touch this up but I wasn’t actually ever going to get around to it, so in the best interests of posting it while it’s mostly fresh I’m going to… well… post it. While it’s mostly fresh. This is partly fanfic, partly speculation, partly analysis. Spoilers for the ending of the Aria series. Enjoy!

By this I mean that I’m no longer running an experiment. As for the experiment’s implications for my life, I am no Mizunashi Akari but pacifism and kindness are definitely things I’ll be striving for every day. (More …)
It sounds wonderful.
SUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!
For a moment, I thought that you were implying that she had recorded herself doing Aria yuri. “No Akari, not there!”, etc.
yessah adventures, sounds superb.
SUGOIIIIII~ Indeed. I love you and yet I hate you so much for bashing my princess. If I had somehow managed to find myself a poster of Aya Hirano, We definitely would’ve slept together with it and maybe it would’ve saved you rolling onto me… then it would’ve ruined the poster… I want an Aya poster now…
By all means, don’t hold it back, you’re not born to be a kind pacifist. No trolls are. You can’t strive for kindness while spewing French all over the place.
I’m glad that you did get something positive out of both the experiment and with Otakon. :)
frankeinstein – T_T
N – yep :)
Spammed.

I’m out this weekend (Otakon). I’ll report on the wonderful next week. Ciao! :)

Great day with nothing notable until around 4 P.M.
I was talking to Pip and Os excitedly about how wonderful this weekend will be (going to Otakon, meeting anibloggers, etc.) and then Pip tells me that Sasa wants him to put his penis in my butt. Shortly thereafter he tells me that Os wants him to do it, too. Next he says he wants to. Finishing blow? He tells me that I want him to.
That was awkward and I felt kinda :S
Pics or it didn’t happen.
…
Did you respond with “Ehhhhh?” when you heard that?
Pip revealed that information a little bit at a time, so there wasn’t a single response to it. But yes, I did respond with that at points.
As I said, take it as a compliment and forget about it =P
Quite amusing :)
Well….people do tend to experiment in college.

Yesterday was fun. (More …)

(Sun)Day 3 wasn’t very wonderful. (More …)
You sound like Shinji.
Well, my cover’s blown.
Dads are tricky, but have faith in him. Try for a 3rd perspective.
I did. The third perspective told me he was insane. I’d previously taken his insults to heart.
At least you know he cares.
And if a third perspective doesn’t work, try a fourth or fifth. :P
But in just having lunch with him, especially after what transpired, could you find something positive out of that? Like Kabitzin said, at least he does care for you.
I don’t know that. I think he might be trying to rub in my face what a good father he is and how he’s always “doing everything for me.” At least this time I payed for my own food.
The papa story sounds like it could be an interesting basis for lolikit: behind the scenes
:)
Ehhhhhh.

I read a post on Yukan! Blog this morning, and decided to click on the blogroll link in the sidebar to see if my blog was linked. It was (thanks for that, blissmo), but its description gave me pause. I remembered, in reading that description, how this blog is identified in the aniblogosphere: I’m trollikitsune, notdotq is lulz and dipshittiness, etc.
How do I reconcile that with my attempt at sutekiiiiiiiii~~~~~?
There’s the obvious Michael route (srs bsns) but that is also counter to Mizunashi Mode. Whether it’s slamming bad shows for being bad or revealing that I actually do, in fact, like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (no lie—that wouldn’t be wonderful), a serious and well-thought-out post inherently asks for challengers, and starting internet debates isn’t something I want to be doing right now.
I could continue to troll, claiming that it’s all playful and that it’s a wonderful point of myself, but that wouldn’t fly so well. My brand of trolling is highly inflammatory and profanity-ridden. Not too nice.
It seems as though all I can do in Mizunashi Mode is write about Mizunashi Mode. I’m also laying off the whole pirating thing for a bit. It’s kinda un-suteki, as noted by icystorm. I’m still writing (dotq.org) but aniblogging’s going to stay dry for a bit, unless you guys have some marvelous suggestions.
Finally a brief note: <3 to everyone who’s trying out their own versions of the experiment.
You could buy an anime dvd or boxset and review it.
Or even buy some of the streaming series that are currently coming out (e.g. Blassreiter).
Or you could play my game.
@Kabitizin: excellent suggestions. I might well try one or both.
@Hinano: perhaps. Is it a suteki game? Is it free to download? Am I in it? etc.
what she said. or you could just do what you do… aren’t the “catch yourself” moments part of Mizunashi month anyway :)
Why don’t you change your blog’s name to “notdotq the natural”? A fresh name for a fresh start.
Thanks for the idea. I think this fits better, though.
I actually tried Mizunashi mode. I didn’t need to change a lot, but I couldn’t greet people when I walk alone. I do put my chin up now, though, but greeting people randomly is just not my thing.
My niceness is not that of ebullience. So it’s really hard to smile and stuff like that for me.
I’m always nice
@Michael: it’s not about “random,” it’s about being comprehensive. Greet everyone. Include everyone in the love. :3
@blissmo: I agree, you’re a fairly wonderful human being.
Fine, then why don’t you change it to “Serial Experiments notdoq”? You could make the subtitle “Wonderful Protocal version 7″ or something like that.
Being comprehensive is worse. As I said, my kindness is not that of ebullience, but subtlety. Oh well.
The human body and mind are odd things. If you go without sleep for long periods of time, your body will make up for it by sleeping longer. Similarly, if you release stresses on your body, such as gravity, the body begins to weaken, adapting to the environment.
I just thought I should point out that we don’t see anything along the lines of recovering trolls. We may find that either trolling vanishes without use or it will explode in a lulz driven orgy of mayhem and decadence the likes of which this internet has never seen.
Here's info about this site, and about lolikitsune. If you're a masochist, you can contact him. And hey, he put together an FAQ.

I’m disappointed that this has no other comments! I enjoyed reading it.
Something bothers me about this fic. I found it rather odd that the Akari we know, always excited and genuinely happy, would seem so… desperate and unenthusiastic. I would think she’d be a bit more optimistic about her life on Earth despite the conditions. It’s understandable that the drab and lifeless state of Earth is restricting her and doesn’t give her much to be happy about, Akari’s actions don’t seem to reflect much of her hopefulness and kindness.
Also, if this was canon, it would seem weird how upbeat Akari is to the reader or viwer after learning of her past. The genki, easily amazed, smiling Akari used to be so sad?
Sorry if this comment doesn’t seem to make sense. It’s 3:27 AM and I’m sleepy and my head is pounding. FFFFFFFF

I think behind genuine happiness is a history of sadness, and a memory, perhaps even an appreciation of it.
It makes sense how someone who could be awed by the simplest of things, appreciates them because of a prior life utterly deprived of wonder.
What makes her special then, if the above seems so ordinary and reasonable? What makes her special is how she never brings her past into play, never juxtaposes and compares, for the ends of appreciation. To do so is ordinary and is expected, but Akari is special. She can and does love her boat because it’s wooden and sturdy and floats on the water; not because there were no boats in her childhood.
This to me, is power too.

@IcyStorm: I’ll admit I’m grasping here. But you’d be surprised: often the happiest people are those with the most tragic pasts. People who are extreme in some respect are often those who used to be extreme in some opposite respect.
And while we could speculate about Akari maybe looking back fondly on Earth now that it’s in the past (nostalgia?), keep the following points in mind:
1. Akari never visits home.
2. Akari never talks about home, except for when she is explaining to Ai-chan that this or that is better on Mars than on Earth (baked potatoes, the slow pace of life).
3. The only Earth tradition Akari brings to Mars is moon-viewing. Gazing off into a surrogate moon—a hologram, a picture, an illusion in a domed sky—seems exactly like what someone who wishes to be somewhere else might do. It’s like staring at an ocean and wondering what’s beyond it.
Finally, is Akari -really- that wonderful? Go back and rewatch the beginning of the show. She’s insecure. She’s afraid. She doesn’t think she can ever live up to Alicia. And when Alicia leaves, Akari breaks down. I would argue that insecurity lurks behind her smile at many turns of the show.
@ghostlightning: I don’t remember if I ever talked to you about this speculation of mine before I wrote this and showed it to you, but yes, for a long time I have been working on the assumption that Akari’s history must have been pretty lame for her to be so enthralled with all these ‘wonderful’ things. Now, that history doesn’t need to be sad, per se, but I felt like dramatizing it a bit.
And as you pointed out, it is amazing that she never juxtaposes her past and the present.
Again, the above are just my own thoughts, and not necessarily “what I think happened.” Just something I felt like sharing, and something I feel it’s fun to think about. Where does Akari come from? Why is she the way she is?
It’s hard for me to imagine that a young teen would have the will, guts, and courage to leave her home planet behind in order to begin a working career if she has two loving parents and learned her ‘wonderful mode’ from them.
Then again, it is manga.
I wonder what KA would say…

Ughhhh damn it now you’ve made me feel sorry for Akari.

That’s my victory, then!
Glad you liked it. :)

LOL, Aria the Deconstruction. So dark yet still in line with the way Akari may think. I noticed that throughout the series Akari doesn’t give us any deep thoughts at all, what we see in her is always of face value. She’s smiling and saying hazukashii serifu all the time but there’s a side of me that always thinks as if Akari is faking sometimes. Especially towards the end of Origination, who knows how deep she worries about herself when Alicia is starting to leave Aria Company all up to her.

Wonderful thinking in depth there.
I knew there must be something deeper in Aria, and am glad that someone here thinks the same. Here is something quoted by Akari which is very interesting.
“This place is ‘inconvenient’ so that I can do everything myself ”
can be further translates as
“This place is ‘inconvenient’ so that I can do everything that I want to do to take control of my life and destiny. This is something that I cannot do in the past. And now by doing so is making me very happy.”
I will pop in again to post a bit more about the strangeness of the Aria world.
