reenkaI was just reading a review of an anime and it said all the characters are "very sincere and honest" making them "very likable from the start". And I feel like such a scrooge, 'cause.... I don't like sincere and honest. Especially in love stories. It gives me the heebie-geebies. Er. I'm not the only one, am I?
I can't even work up the paranoia that mockery and sarcasm have taken over my very souuuul, so... maybe that's proof they -have-. *coughs*
I mean, passionate honesty... helpless honesty... cataclysmic honesty, even, is one thing. But constant, unending, painfully extreme honesty? That's the stuff of nightmares, isn't it? And also sap. Which is why "Ah, My Goddess" is sap, and I've never watched it. Possibly my contrary nature is what drives me to the opposite end of things-- what with the hatred and the violence, or at least the cynicism, ahahah. But I'm not a cynic... it's just... doesn't one have to build up to these things? Like... everyone (even likable, normal people) has Issues & defenses to break through & most of the time people in general aren't sincere, right? So... is it just realism...?
I'm just suddenly worried I hate sincerity, which just seems wrong. But there's definitely such a thing as too much sincerity, isn't there? Or is that just me?
For some reason, it makes me think of babies and cuddling, but it doesn't have to be that way, right? And okay, what's wrong with babies & cuddles. Um. They scare me when in large quantities. One baby, some of the time... that's pleasant. But like... 10 babies, 24/7? That's... scary.
No, I have no point. Then again, when do I ever?
