Today's the last class for Japanese. I canceled it because I don't feel like I'm getting much out of it. Starting tomorrow, when I'm the only one home, I'm going to continue with that online Japanese program that I paid for a few months ago. (For now, though, I've continued playing Pokemon Diamond, mainly to get ready for the Super Contests and to find an Alert Tool 4 underground.)

Two kids from next door came to our driveway and told Dad that they were selling Kool-Aid and soda to raise disaster relief funds for Japan. Dad spoke with them, and I came outside to meet them as well. Mom asked for a Sprite, and I chose some punch. She gave me a twenty as a donation.

Before they left the driveway, I introduced myself and asked them what their names were. They didn't answer, and once they were gone, Dad told me that I should never socialize with little kids unless I know them well enough. (Reasons are obvious enough, and come to think of it, I don't think I ever have seen anyone my age or older interact with a child like that... except for that one time when someone spoke to me in the bathhouse at Acadia. If those were anime girls that greeted us, though, I would so hug them and rub my face into them like I do with my kitty-cat.)

They came back with two cups of Kool-Aid, and told Mom that they had poured ten. Mom told them that she only meant the twenty she gave them as a donation, and they can just keep the other eight.

Last night, Mom had to keep checking the front and back doors to let Mabel in, and she never did. Just this morning, it turned out that she had been sleeping in her closet the whole night.

Okay, so I still have yet to discuss actual storylines I have in mind about part 1 of MCC with Chelle. For now, though, I'd like to get this off my chest after having thought about it for so many months. But anyway, this is gonna be a lengthy post. Here are twelve villains who (for the record) will work towards setting the demon god Warp free from his prison before working together with him to wage war on Mon World as retribution for his imprisonment from eons ago (along with Chelle's responses and their sources of inspiration).

Before I get started, only the first eight listed on this post were ever mentioned to Chelle (almost a year ago), and she did tell me that a few of them would be hard to take seriously. Three of them came to mind later, and the last one is just the one who brought them all together. None of them had names when I first introduced them to her, and these descriptions will be more up-to-date.

While I still haven't replaced any of the first eight I came up with, what I'm really looking for is twelve characters with distinct, unique personalities, along with something they all have in common. The fact that some of them would come across as somewhat comical by their gimmicks (others are still more serious) makes things that much more interesting, when combined with the fact that all of them are just as harmful as Reda are genuinely dangerous (as opposed to Count Collection, who normally inflicts and/or receives slapstick injuries). I am open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Spoilers will be mentioned in comments if need be, but to name a few examples of what I mean, there's Digimon Adventure 01, which had Etemon, Puppetmon, and (at least the dub version of) Piedmon, along with a few more typical villains (such as Devimon and Myotismon). Each of Magus523's Mega Man game novelizations, with their own set of Robot Masters, would also count.

And then, there's Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, in which the bosses in question are representations of the characters repressed negative thoughts. (Some of the following videos are combined with the preceeding cutscenes.)

Shadow Yosuke
Shadow Chie
Shadow Yukiko
Shadow Kanji (Warning: Yaoibait)
Shadow Rise (Warning: Fanservice)
Shadow Teddie
Shadow Mitsuo (inspired one of my own boss characters)
Shadow Naoto

Anyway, without further ado:

Cut for sheer length and fanfic spoilers! )
