AND MORE REVIEW REPLIES

I saved all the important review replies. or I just saved all of them. I can't remember


Stupid deviantART keeps taking Brawl In the Family's place in my "most visited sites" (if you have google chrome, and only visit 8 sites and make use of that section of the "new tab" page like I do, you'll understand why this bothers me). It's not really MY fault I cleared my browsing history and since then they've been competing for that "5th most visited" site spot. I mean, I'd sit and poop around on BitF more often, but I've read each of those comics at least ten times now (with the exception of, say, the latest three) and I don't get how I can look at three pages on deviantART and it suddenly changes everything! I mean, last I checked, the "most visited sites" are determined by how many times you go to the site (and pages within it), and not how long you spend on it. Seriously.

Anyway

JOURNAL DUMP TWO POSTS AGO!

LAST POST WAS ABOUT THE CHAPTER AND HAD SOME INTERESTING CONVERSATION!
again not really because is a new blog so
this is the post is going to be review replies!! yay!! *hastily adds that to this post's tags before I forget*

so, ch117 from Peach:
Magik started the shish-ka-Cloud thing, last I checked. But, yes, it is funny
I... I don't quite know how to respond to your next question/comment. I feel like clarifying might give too much away... but "mirrors" is definitely the wrong word.
I'll... explain stage 3 in a minute

ch117 from KKBeckett:
the "anonymous" thing might just be your phone, but I DID notice that you can put your name in again (mainly because your review and Peach's had your names on them, lol)
You might have asked that before. I know she does eventually find that out (book 5 requires it), but how SOON she'll figure it out is definitely another story 

ch117 from Flightfoot:
That first bit is a comment I don't think I have to reply to
And, again, gimme a sec on stage 3

ch117 from Cookie:
I knew there was a reason why I was putting off replying to reviews, but it wasn't until I got your review this morning that I realized what it was. Lol. My subconscious was like "don't reply to reviews yet! Cookie hasn't responded!"
I don't know what the rest of my brain was thinking...
Anyway
I... don't think I've ever actually gone through this with anyone. Considering I can't think of any specific times, I don't think I have. That's the weird thing about I write. I just... write, and things come out, and almost none of it is from personal experience.
My characters write themselves. I mean, the logical part of my brain says "that's impossible, they're fictional characters you made up! You write for them". However, if that were truly the case, Dead Inside wouldn't currently be 117 chapters (and not really near the ending, thanks to Sora delaying me), my chapters would still be struggling at 1000 words, and Namiku would NEVER get together because I'd have no idea how to write for them.
I'm really glad that you said this latest chapter seemed realistic to you (I'm assuming it did, since you assumed that I'd been through this sort of thing before) because I really just sat and let my characters talk (and Kairi rant) like I usually do (though it's usually Riku ranting)

(and... talking about stages, though this continues from Cookie's questions, technically)
What made me come up with stages?
No picking clue.
Leon's just like "stage two" and I was like "stage two of WHAT!?"
See, my characters write for me. If this stops when I swap from fanfic to a novel, I will be very very upset and miss it terribly

So, what's stage three?
Very simple:
Puking.

Stage three is the iffy stage. Sometimes it hits you, sometimes it doesn't.
It is also known as the "stealthy" stage, because SOMETIMES, it doesn't hit you right away, and you assume your fine, and then out of nowhere: STAGE THREE!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! ahem *shifty glance* 

And just why is it puking?

Well, because the body mistakes the darkness as some kind of poison, and does what it naturally does when it identifies a poison (I'm using the word "poison" lightly. I really just mean something that the body doesn't like, such as red dye (red 40, specifically)). It tries to get rid of it. In any way possible.

Don't argue with me on this. I spent last summer puking up nearly every meal I ate because my body decided "Oh! You can't consume red dye anymore! Hah!" And, considering it took us FOREVER to figure out that it was red dye that was bothering my system, (and I happened to like a lot of foods with red dye in them: fruit snacks especially) I, again, ended up puking a lot.

Of course, in-story, puking doesn't do you any good because the darkness really only affects your brain (well, heart, if I want to use proper KH terms) and not the rest of your body, but your body doesn't know that and pukes anyway. 

No, Flightfoot, there aren't any more stages. I mean, I think I rememberthinking about a stage four, but I'm pretty sure it only applied if stage three occured, so I assume that it was just, y'know, recovery from puking (which isn't usually fun, might I add)

That's it, isn't it?

*looks at reviews again*

Yeah, that's it.

The other two things I want to say will go with the next update in an author's note, just so that I know EVERYONE sees it
