Nov. 29, 2014: positives and negatives

In considering any attempt at abandoning the finality of the [5161814] final mission, I've tried to list several factors as to why I should or should not go back to yet another Otafest-related event... aside from the 2nd pin trading party on Oct. 4, 2014.
This list should be updated regularly until late Nov. 2014 or when a decision is made.

"to be afraid" or not?

I'm supposed to be afraid of her, but I'm NOT supposed to be afraid of her... #fearsurvival
— Jack Y (@superslinger07) November 30, 2013

Hopefully I'll live to see another day.

Dec. 2 addendum: Delusion no more.

Snippet: "the event in between"

Assuming the unnatural processing time is not me getting © blocked despite fair use.

Additionally, all blog snippets in audio form:

Snippet: just plain unpredictable

"there were several people who were going as several Doctors, but it's like when I had people write encouraging statements in my book: only the first person I run into [for each cosplay character] will get [redacted] papercraft [redacted]"

Dec. 2 addendum: True.

"No, I don't know if she's looking for a pink scarf or a green cap. All I know is she's been busy this past while, and it's one month after Halloween, and all I know her as is a Halloween chara-- a Halloween-based character."

Dec. 2 addendum: I wasn't there to talk about Pashmina or Cappy respectively (sources conflict). I was there to talk about Scary Godmother.

"[redacted] waiting for me [redacted]"

Dec. 2 addendum: All delusion.

"[...] any [cosplay segment] recordings I made [at the theatre or those I will make during fear/survival overtime] will not be posted anywhere. [redacted]"

Dec. 2 addendum: That series is still cancelled. Don't worry about any video leaks from me.

Snippet: Is this true? I hope not!

I certainly hope this (admittedly delusional thought) doesn't describe what you're thinking of me. (Hit read more)

The final set of doors to inevitability

I'm opening the doors....

Snippet: "chance of fear"

[For me,] there is about a 1 out of 800 chance of fear. Wait, make that 2 out of 800. No wait, 3 out of 800. No, 4 out of 800. 5 out of 800. No, better make that 1 out of 1, because it's a... A definite certainty is one of my mission objectives. It's only a matter of time until I know officially when.

Dec. 2 addendum: 1 out of 1700. No, it was still 1 out of 1, and it was a chance of delusion anyway.

Snippet: "in the next two weeks"

I was browsing for cards again today. I think it'd be best if there weren't any more changes of plans in the next two weeks. Still, though...

Dec. 2 addendum: I was so close to suffering a setback during my darkest hour. But things worked out.

Snippet: "Rndm fugitive madness 18081"

For tweet 18081 and 18082 on my account, I gave some hints.

Rndm fugitive madness 18081: Never attempt to rewatch that newscast while considering card giveaways and trying out Skullgirls #fearsurvival
— Jack Y (@superslinger07) November 17, 2013

1st part: Do you know how unbelievably hard it is to let go of anything? 2nd part: I just gave a hint. 3rd part: Been doing that for 2 days.

Snippet: "run or confront" dilemma

A personal problem I dealt with during fear/survival's regulation time was whether to keep running from those I was deathly afraid of, or to go up to them and do my job. I did eventually go up to them, but maybe I shouldn't be so mixed up anymore. So maybe the whole running-like-hell thing was a facade after all. "Only time will tell."

Dec. 2 addendum: It was all delusion.

Snippet: mission impediment

I'm not that good with faces, but I know I gotta meet up with a few people, regardless of whether or not they've been feared... since before 6 months ago or something. But I don't know if I should be in the giving mood, kind of generous, to certain people either.

Dec. 2 addendum: I didn't have much trouble towards recognition this time. Can't say much for May 2014.

Details after the cut. (click "read more".)

Snippet: Fugitive / "a little generous"

Maybe this fugitive oughta be a little generous this holiday season. but with #fearsurvival overtime ahead, who knows if it'll work?

— Jack Y (@superslinger07) November 7, 2013

Snippet: that newscast

In order for me to keep my mind together, I oughta stop rewatching that newscast that I overreacted to and made me a fugitive.

Why am I still watching that damn newscast?!
