Sashimi: @Enheldor: I get what you're saying about about others automatically dismissing someones argument because of making a Hitler reference, but you made it sound like everyone would react in the same manner due to G.L. and that's simply not true. I agree that there are far too many frivolous uses of the comparison, but honestly, I wasn't calling someone a nazi or calling them Hitler. Saying Hitler was the most evil person history is a generally accepted belief and not a frivolous comparison in my opinion. My stating that he had smiled and played at some time in his life is not trying to make light of what occurred later under his leadership. Any discussion involving evil is invariably going to invoke A.H. due to his notoriety. I get the fact that some people will put up a barricade once any nazi reference is made, and that's unfortunate. I can see how mentioning Der Fuhrer could undermine ones position in a discussion with those who think as you describe, but again, not everyone feels that way. Course, now that you brought this to my attention, I guess I won't invoke A.F.'s name in any future discussions.
And E, I bet you could wear any color and make it work! Lol.
Sashimi: @Enheldor: I'll put it another way, do you really think Godwin's law would hold up in court? I mean, if there was a criminal trial, and the prosecutor made a Hitler reference, do you think the defense could then say "Whoa now, you made a Hitler reference, Godwin's law means your argument is invalid, and you lose. My client is now free to go."? That would hold as much water as a bucket made of chainlink fence. Just sayin.
Sashimi: @Enheldor: I mean , really, this is ridiculous. Someone's view point becomes invalid because of some made up internet rule? Sorry but I don't subscribe to fictitious laws just because someone says it's true. Might as well say your opinion doesn't matter because your wearing a purple shirt and somebody made a rule about it.
Sashimi: @Enheldor: No, it's not her child. Her kids look khajiiti.
But looking into the Godwin's law, there are exceptions. Godwin's law, (which isn't a real law anyway let's not forget, just because someone makes up a "law" doesn't make it true.) is about people making frivolous comparisons to Hitler and/or the nazis. Simply mentioning Hitler as fact doesn't invoke the GL, and Hitler is universally recognized as the most evil person.
I found this:
Godwin’s Law does not dispute the validity or otherwise of references or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis. As such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate in a discussion, Godwin has argued that overuse of the Nazi comparison should be avoided as it waters down the impact of any valid usage. In its purest sense, the rule has more to do with completely losing one's sense of proportion rather than just mentioning Nazis specifically.[3][4] The law was initiated as a counter-meme to flippant comparisons to the Nazis, rather than to invoke a complete ban on comparisons. As Mike Godwin himself wrote in 2008:[5]
Godwin himself appears in comments (authenticity confirmed via email) to explain that his “law” sought to discourage frivolous, but not substantive, Nazi analogies and comparisons.[6]
Sashimi: @Enheldor: Hey, C'mon, you gotta give me a mulligan on that one cause I've never heard of that until now! I guess I should have used Stalin instead. Lol. Besides, Godwin's law doesn't negate the point I'm trying to make in saying that even the most evil individuals (of which Rajirra hardly qualifies) weren't born evil. Something happened in their lives to turn them wicked, but before that time, they probably had BOTH good and bad life experiences like the rest of us. And my story tells of both good and bad events that Rajirra experiences. And to answer your first question, the girl is my O.C.'s little sister. :)
Sashimi: @lllxBL4ZExlll: Thank you! I appreciate that. The next pic that was just made isn't the cute one I have in mind, just to let you know. That one may be a while yet.
Sashimi: @WassapDude94: Ooo, dang, that's not bad! The reason in my story is a little different, though it does involve her child. I may have to make a modification if you don't mind my using that idea, in one form or another.
Sashimi: @PermanentFace: Annnd more derogatory comments from you! I get it, you hate her guts, but if you despise her so much, don't look at these. I'm trying to offer a possible explanation for her behavior by creating a story detailing some of the events of her life. I wan't to add some depth to her character so she's more then just "That bitch who betrayed Katia." There's good and bad in everyone. You treat her like she's evil incarnate! I'm sure it's safe to say that even Hitler smiled and played at some time in his life. If you have nothing positive to contribute, then please refrain from commenting in my posts from now on.
Sashimi: @PermanentFace: Yeah well, without the context I suppose I can see how you'd come to that conclusion, but no, the argonian is not some poor innocent victim in this. He was going to take her child to sell for profit. Not to mention he punched her in the abdomen while she is pregnant. So yes, she's a little pissed.
Sashimi: Also, Katia took that rope from the well she destroyed. It didn't belong to her in the first place. That's one reason Rajirra disapproved of he, and she may have felt inclined to return it where it rightfully belonged. It's a possibility anyway.
Sashimi: @PermanentFace: Rajirra needed the rope to scout the imps. Yes she didn't ask first and that probably comes from her disapproval of Katia, but we don't know that she wouldn't have returned it to her after they had finished the job, if things had gone according to plan anyway. Sigrid on the other hand, now she IS deliberately screwing people over for personal gain, so I do have disdain for her. That being said, I'm still open to the possibility that she too can see the error of her ways and make things right. Or perhaps it's as some have suggested and this is an elaborate test By Sigrid. We'll have to wait and see what Kaz has in store for us.
Sashimi: @PermanentFace: Now don't get me wrong, I'm certainly rooting for Katia to overcome her difficulties and succeed, I truly am, but there's also something appealing about a character who; from outward appearance, has given up, but then finds the opportunity to redeem themselves. Now like I mentioned before, perhaps that won't happen in the main story, maybe it's only reserved for the domain of fanfiction in that she achieves respectability. I still believe there's good in her, and I feel compelled to support that belief. 'Criminal scum', no, I don't see her that way. To me that would imply that she intended to betray katia from the beginning, which was not the case. Being bitter about life and treating someone disrespectfully is not a crime; rude, yes, but not criminal. I just don't feel she deserves to be so despised, but perhaps pitied instead. I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree about our viewpoints on this matter.
Sashimi: @PermanentFace: I agree that Rajirra treated Katia poorly and as inferior, but that doesn't mean she'll never see the error in that behavior. I'd like to believe that after she has time to reflect on the events of that night, she would have tremendous feelings of guilt and remorse, and if given the chance, she would apologize to Katia and seek forgiveness. I think Rajirra is damaged from past traumas which has left her bitter about life. I feel sympathy for someone like that, and I'd like to see them rise above their difficulties and enjoy life again.
Sashimi: If Katia actually chose to forgive someone who wronged her, I don't see how that's a bad thing. I don't see Rajirra like some wicked evil character as so many seem to. She didn't start out with the intention of betraying Katia, hell, she didn't even want to be involved with the imp removal in the first place. She wanted to go home and mind her own business, but was talked into going. Now I don't condone what she did, but I don't believe she deserves the horrible fate that so many would like to see happen to her.
Sashimi: @LuminosityXVII: And it may only happen in my story that she has a chance of finding it, but who knows what the future holds. Something may happen in Prequel to completely preclude any possibility of that, thus shattering the whole concept of my fanfic. But maybe, just maybe she can turn things around.
Sashimi: "This one is thankful." A beauty of a fanfic commission I got from Furnut. Since it's Thanksgiving today, I felt it appropriate to post this. It is from Rajirra's Birthday celebration, and she is thankful for those in her life.
