!DISCLAIMER!

This journal delves into cynical and angsty subject matter due to what I've been witnessing among at least two of my watchers. It will also contain instances of me raging over stuff. If you'd wish to avoid reading anything that is too damn depression, you might want to click on this journal before this one that I've made earlier ago, because at least it wasn't about this journal's topic.
:cryblood: 
In case you couldn't tell by now, this journal is about to delve into all the angsting that I've been witnessing, especially the angsting over fictional crushes. No offense to anyone I'm referring to because we're friends. I just personally can't fathom the idea of going through a traumatic depression over the absence of a favorite fictional character, even if it's a fictional crush.

1. THESUPERMKMASTER SITUATION

For the first time ever, :icongreatangelguardian: is being haunted into depression. In 2012, when SoulCalibur V came out, it took him a while after the game's release to get over Chai Xianghua's absence since she was never playable in SCV, nor did she receive a cameo for once. Her daughter Yan Leixia apparently didn't help any favors.

Fast forward to 2015 and now this recurring nightmare has returned and this all started with his laptop getting screwed up! So now I blame two things for all this. One is his laptop for f*cking up. It's like he can't even go to deviantArt without experiencing problems. Another one is Namco themselves because SoulCalibur V's story mode was meh! 

The only character who received story mode was Patroklos Alexander but no one else did, especially not Xianghua's daughter Leixia! I know that due to time constraints, this ended up being the only story mode in SCV... which is why I think it would've been BETTER if the game was put on hold until a few things like Story Modes were fixed for the final, non-delayable product! Something like that obviously happened with Super Smash Bros. Brawl when it was being delayed. They were clearly testing things out and fixing a couple of stuff behind the scenes before they finally gave it an absolute release date. As a matter of fact, given this current gen, why not release a PERFECTED version of SoulCalibur V on the current gen consoles (y'know, the PS4 and Xbox One) which also includes Story Modes for ALL characters, including Leixia, instead of just Patroklos! I mean think about it? What do we know of Z.W.E.I. or Viola, and what the hell's going on with Zasalamel and a few others? EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS, DAMMIT!!!:rage: 

I fear that he's gonna go into SneakyLizard territory where he's gonna constantly make journal after journal about his depression, compare himself to certain characters who go through shitty environments (i.e. Gumball, Plankton, and Beetlejuice) and play BGMs that may or may not be fitting for sad moments like being paranoid over the absence of a favorite character. I also fear that he will not eat or sleep and, though I don't know if he ever does this, he won't be able to masturbate. I want the ol' TheSuperMKMaster back.:(

2. SNEAKYLIZARD SITUATION

Once again, Jade's status as an elephant in the room has lashed onto :iconjapaneseanimebeetle:. Yes, you read it here, the fact that we don't know what happened to Jade yet is back to haunt SneakyLizard, to which I react with this...

You know what I wish didn't happen? I wish NetherRealm Studios stopped killing off a couple of kharacters in their new timeline! Look at what happened to not just most of the heroes as of MK9, but also Kintaro, Motaro, Shang Tsung, Sindel, Moloch, Drahmin (I know Ed Boon hates him, but he's more of a love it or hate it kinda guy unlike Hsu Hao, who actually deserved to be killed off in the komics for obvious reasons), Reiko, Mileena (eventhough she had it coming due to being like her basically being a female Caligula), Mavado (eventhough he had it coming due to being a Red Dragon thug), Baraka and Quan Chi (eventhough he had it coming due to having been a Scumbag Steve to poor Hanzo Hasashi). The reason I didn't say Havik is because I refuse to believe he is permanently dead due to his nature as the MUTHAF*CKIN' CLERIC OF CHAOS!!! But anyways...

I also wish that NetherRealm Studios would just straight up tell us what's going on with Jade instead of being silent about her! Remember, we saw her become a revenant along with Kitana and the rest and yet SHE ISN'T SEEN ANYWHERE IN MKX EXCEPT FOR KITANA'S ENDING!

EDIT: SneakyLizard has just been restored to normal now. (THANK GOD!)

3. YOUR FICTIONAL CRUSH/CRUSHES

As you can see, the two friends of mine are being haunted by the absence of a fictional crush and I don't get it. And to make matters worse, the absences are haunting the these guys into a depression similar to what one gets over the loss of a family member. I fear that this might cause them to wind up as laughing stocks of the internet for simply feeling sorrow over their videogame crushes' absences.

However, we all know these two aren't the only ones with fictional crushes because get this, we ALL have fictional crushes. So due to me worrying about my saddened watchers, please tell me about your fictional crush(s) and as you do, please give out the following details so I'll understand y'all because I'm worried SICK.
  • Has your fictional crush ever been absent?
  • Has your fictional crush ever been killed off?
  • If niether of the above happened, what would your reaction be if your fiction crush is absent and/or killed off?
  • If your fictional crush had a replacement, regardless of how similar that replacement is to that crush of yours, what would you feel about it?
I'm only asking these questions because I'm worried right now. I do not want my watchers in a state of depression. I don't want to see them ending up in a state similar to what happens when you lose a loved one in real life, to the point of comparing one's self to another fictional character who has been through shit in some sort of way and posting depressing BGMs. If you haven't seen your favorite character, even a fictional crush, in a long time, you should be able to get over it later on in life. You must learn to conquer the paranoias and the nightmares. I'm sorry if I'm sounding to much of a Pollyana, but...

4.IN CONCLUSION

...I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY OF MY WATCHERS IN THIS KIND OF DEPRESSING STATE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!Crying Death the Kid Emote 

I'm serious! I like it when those two who I've mentioned before have never shown a hint of sorrow. Who's gonna be depressed in a similar manner next? I hope some of my other watchers like :iconmaxgomora1247:, :iconmarkusdark2024:, or :iconstylistic86: don't end up being haunted into a state of depression because all I want is for my friends to be happy and fun-loving!

For those of you reading who haven't done it already, PLEASE help TheSuperMKMaster and/or SneakyLizard feel better! Help those guys overcome these nightmares that are stinking up their lives! Teach them to conquer those damn nightmares! Only then will they revert back to their former selves.


P.S. On the positive side of things, be sure to check out my current projects if you have anything to say or ask about either one.:)

Okay, on the topic of Jade, I know she was not in MKX, and yes, fan favorites are being killed off, but here's the thing:  no one really stays dead in Mortal Kombat.  I liked Johnny Cage and his death in MK3 didn't get me down, as he would be revived temporarily in MKT and permanently in MK4.  Also, Liu Kang was killed in Deadly Alliance, but that didn't stop them from bringing him back in Deception as a zombie (who was later revealed to be revived by Dark Raiden to help him kill all threats to Earthrealm).

As there's a new DLC pack coming out next year, there's a chance Jade may be in it.  If not, then maybe in the next game, she will appear as a bodyguard for Kitana since she will rule the Netherealm alongside Liu Kang.
