Top favourite Undertale characters

I love Undertale, obviously, though not all characters do it for me, so I can't be forced to make a top 5 or 10 for this.

From best to also best:




1. Flowey
Flowey is not the funniest character on this list. In fact, he's not funny at all.

But that's not his purpose. Flowey is a tortured soul who stopped caring about being tortured. I'm still not entirely sure how many years he's been a soulless flower, as he has the power to rewind and said he has done this many times, but the thought it might've been hundreds of years makes him even more intriguing. Even in his soulless state, the way he yearns for this shithead of a kid he remembers as his friend is interesting, and there's still alot about Flowey I don't really get. If he's unable to feel, why did he cry when he first discovered he was a flower? Why did he feel fear for Chara in the genocide run? He shouldn't be able to be shocked and weep over anything if he lacks the capability to do so. What's going on in this flower's head?

The reason I like Flowey as much as I do has alot to do with the fact I did not expect anything from him the first time I saw him. Even after he started attacking the player, which was cool, I thought the thing was just a tutorial monster. A taste of what you can expect to see in the Underground. I didn't think to ever even see him again after he got blasted off into space by Toriel, the true tutorial monster.
But this little bitch is the end boss. That blew my mind a little bit.

By the way, I do not care one bit for Asriel, it really has to be Flowey for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   2. Papyrus
It's hard to choose between Sans and Papyrus, as they are both adorable characters, but I guess I have to choose Papyrus first, because of the dating/hanging out simulator. That was great.

Papyrus' humor lies in his undiscourable personality; you can choose the most negative option when talking to him, and he doesn't care. He sees what he wants to see, he is a child with earplugs and an eternal smile. At the same time, he despises skeleton puns, even though he performs them himself, so I'm still not sure what's up with that. And I'd say that's the biggest mystery about Papyrus, as the guy is quite transparent.
He is also the only character in the series drenched in pure goodness, as this guy will not kill you no matter what. Even the goodhearted Toriel will rip you apart, no matter if it's by accident or not, she is capable.

You're a good kid, Papyrus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       3. Sans
Together with Flowey, also a tortured soul. But I guess he has more reason to keep his grin on, as everything he experiences he still experiences once, unlike Flowey. He lives with the guess it "might've" happened before.
It's made clear he's just a good guesser and does not have rewind powers like the player or Flowey, even so, he speaks about numbers at the end of the genocide run, so it stops being guesses at that point.

All in all, Sans is deeper than you assume him to be when you first meet him. He presents himself as a mere comic relief, but his laziness is caused by his knowledge of the reset power. But what appeals to me even more is the strange twist that Sans is the hero of the story. I mean, maybe that's what I got out of it, but in a scenario where no hero stands up (talking about genocide run), it's Sans that's waiting at the end to mess you up. While Undyne has unexplained determination and is very strong indeed, I don't consider her the true hero despite she being named "the hero". She shows up early in the story, she's supposed to fail.

Sans is the unlikeable, depressed hero of Undertale.
If the reset-happy Flowey was never created by the irresponsible weeabo Dr. Alphys, maybe Sans would've been a likeable, motivated hero. Think about that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                   4. Mettaton

This guy is really, really funny.

Just like with Papyrus, I liked all of his scenes and was looking forward to them every time, though I didn't care for his selfish motives that were revealed during his last battle. I didn't think it made sense to attack an innocent human child as an attempt to get out the underground and become famous.

Nevertheless, Mettaton isn't just a selfish diva; even without breaking into his house, you discover that this ghost in an iron body has a more friendly side. After all, he agreed to play along and be the villain in order to make Alphys feel better about herself, while he was clearly bored out of his mind the whole time. Though, he might've played along for the promise to get more views. Undertale doesn't really cover that question.

Mettaton is especially funny because, really, it's a cube shouting "darling" all the time, and to have that kind of personality in such a cheap body is always a win for me. Also love the Mettaton EX battle theme.


Undertale

I have a short and shameful past with this game.

I follow alot of gaming channels at Youtube and have seen the Undertale video thumbails pop up quite early this same year, but the customized thumbnail icons that greeted me looked unappealing (it was mostly just Papyrus' face, I'm sorry, lord Papyrus), so I never bothered to click them and check out this masterpiece of a game until months later. To think I kept myself busy with watching the gameplays of games I already knew fills me with anti-determination.

But when my homeboys Video Games AWESOME, who stopped customizing their thumbnails years ago, started playing this game, I was introduced to a regular screenshot instead of just a giant simple face of one of the characters. My first impression was "Earthbound", in the positive sense, so of course I finally clicked that shit and checked out this title I've seen pop up everywhere for months.

It was good shit.

It was more than good, because this seemingy simple game managed to drag my hipster-ass into the fanwagon, and like I announced at my first Undertale submission at Deviantart; this is the first time I've joined the majority on anything.

Of course, I was a devoted Lion King fan, of course I was a devoted Inuyasha fan, of course I was a devoted Kingdom Hearts fan, of course I was a devoted Ed, Edd n Eddy fan, but none of this was at a time the fandom was at its peak. I am always late joining any group, or I simply don't like something enough to make tons of fanart for it, but I made an Undertale-Justin Bieber parody just a few weeks ago, for Pete's sake. I am far gone and it did not take long.
I'm wearing a shirt with a giant grinning Sans face and the words "You're going to have a bad time" written under it and have 3 more Undertale shirts. And I paid crazy money for these, while they're not even official. I gave money to people who basically stole the in-game icons and slapped them on a shirt. That's how badly I need the merchandise.

The humor, the music, the rich characters, the story, the fighting mechanic, there's not much to complain about in this game, I like all of it equally. Undertale is a combination of the best that gaming and the internet has to offer. Which is hard, as it's the internet.
Beware of the abomination that is FriskxSans fanart.

Female cartoon characters with little to no chest

I never cared of thought about this issue, but I think what happened is that artists on the internet are so quick to draw women with overblown breasts, it feels overdone to me; and if there's something I can't stand, it's overdone ideas.

The small female chest feels to me as being part of my appreciation for simple design.


Top list of things that make me cry like a little bitch

What a strange list to make.
Sometimes it feels good to be moved by something, and there isn't much going on in my life that I cry about, so sometimes I seek out these things that will make me cry on purpose. Just to get that feeling of relief. Crying is good for you, kids, try it so now and then. Lololol.

I originally wanted to make a list of songs, but then I remembered there are more movies and games that made me sob than musical number. So well, this small list will contain a bit of everything.
As it concludes movies and games, be warned that there are spoilers:



1. Telltale's "The Walking Dead" ending
The Walking Dead is a game that proves effort and relationships are pointless, in a depressing good way. After you've spend many episodes guiding and taking care of the only two characters you should care about, Lee and Clementine, of course the main character Lee dies at the end of it all, and the young Clementine is left to fend for herself.
At least, that's what the creators made people believe, or "worry about", until the sequel was released.

I didn't think the sequel was as good, by the way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. "Final Fantasy X" ending
Another game where you put effort into your main character, just for him to end up dead. Tidus' death probably hit me harder because I didn't name him Tidus, but after a character I adore. And I was something like 13 or 14, so that might have something to do with it as well. I remember throwing the controller on the floor after all these weeks of non-stop playing and I actually bought the dumb sequel and played it multiple times, just to get the secret ending where you see Tidus alive again. Never succeeded in doing so, because of how easy it is to accidentally progress the game and lose side missions. But after seeing the ending clip on Youtube, I was reassured it wasn't even worth it.

Anyway, this scene probably won't make me cry now, but I'm grading it based on how I responded to it at the time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. "I Dreamed A Dream" scene from the 2012 "Les Miserables"
The movie wasn't really that exciting for the most part, and hardly focussed on any of the relationships it threw at you, but I've already talked about everything there is to talk about on this blog.

"I Dreamed A Dream" performed by Anne Hathaway is still the best thing the movie has to offer. Very emotional, despite the movie not having done that much for us to care about the character and her daughter. But we cared about her suffering, and it only took a song.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Casper's background story from "Casper"
In the movie Casper, the real-life action movie about the "friendly ghost", for some reason the scene where he explains how he died always got to me. He tells it in a dark atmosphere and fitting piano music is playing in the background. It sounds typical, but I still think it's very well done. People don't appreciate this movie enough.

This is one of my childhood movies, and while other children were crying about Bambi's mother or Mufasa, this was my Mufasa scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.  The father's death announcement from "A Little Princess"
The whole movie is a depressing show, but the scene where the main character gets to hear her father died in battle and she immediately gets dumped out of her fancy bedroom in the orphanage's cold, leaking attic to cry on the floor, calling out for her dead father, just what the shit. The moment where she gets reunited with him is touching as well. Spoilers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. "Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi" from "Ghajini" 
I've never seen the movie this song is from; as I just like to look up and listen to Bollywood music. I have no idea what they are singing about, even, but near the end of the song, something in the man's voice and in the melody upsets me. If I let my imagination do its work, I just end up sad. It's difficult to explain.

Vampires

I wonder when I started liking these creatures. I used to watch movies like Blade and Queen of the Damned when I was young, and my first online published original character was a vampire(meerkat), but I'm not able to pinpoint the exact moment I started liking them. Like dragons, and L'Oreal, it seemed like I was born with it.

But I have to admit, the concept of vampires looks less exciting to me now than it once used to. I remember contineously getting dissapointed by vampire-related media, especially in games; when I was young I was hoping for a sexy main character in every vampire game I bought, as this was what vampires were described to be, but there are some hideous 3D vampires in this world. I don't want to badmouth Vampire the Masquerade (Redemption) here, but that's the game I'm having in mind here.
I bought one of the games just because of the "sexy" badass cover, but then you get this unwashed, medieval knight-person with morals you're playing as. Letdown. It was an awesome game, though.

Even though I've always been on an unsuccessful quest for sexy vampires, I do have to mention that all these super-horny or super-mysterious vampires in fiction annoyed me as well. Why can't we have a vampire who acts and talks like a normal person would?
Blade and Queen of the Damned was filled with these type of vampires, and it makes it hard to feel for them. How can we relate with a being that has disco parties with blood being sprayed down from the ceiling? What is the point. Humans don't dance in gravy, why do these creatures have to be so ridiculous.

The many attributes people keep giving vampires don't make them appear that threatening, either. If basically everything silly can kill a vampire, like sharp sticks, water, sunlight, silver, and everything else that completely inhabits the Earth, why should we be afraid of these beings? A common human being is more resistant. It makes a vampire's immortality hardly worth it.

In the end I don't know what attracted me to these beings, I guess what the summary of this article is. It's like I see the potential, but I disagree with what the media does with them.
Perhaps Buffy the Vampire Slayer did it best. Vampires should be like normal people, but when it's dinner type, they change. Simple enough.

Top 10 South Park characters

I like South Park. Unlike the Simpsons, they are still clever and it does not make me uncomfortable whenever they parody something that's popular at the moment. The Simpsons' Minecraft intro made me cringe.

The stories are often silly, but it's always been the characters that made them great. The creators have a knack for writing characters, all with a distinguishable personality. When given screentime or their own episode, you discover there aren't any background characters in this series.
The way they transformed Butters from background filling to a 5th main character was done effortlessly and succesfully, and as little screentime they had in the entirety of the series; both Tweek and Nathan caught our attention.

Here's my top list of South Park characters, from best to good enough:




1. Tweek
From the first time I met this character I liked him, he was the first South Park character I liked. His stress makes me laugh. Which is why it's upsetting that the creators did so little with him in the series and Tweek isn't really all that funny in the South Park RPG game.
Nevertheless, I remember the good scenes when looking at this character, and that's all that matters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Terrance and Phillip
The Canadians in general are funny, but of course Terrance and Phillip are their kings. While they often appear vulgaire and random, I like they have a normal and moral side to them. Any episode that features them is a win.
Love their silly voices.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
Ike
Kyle's little Canadian brother is by far the cutest character in the show, and while I miss the "kick the baby" skits, as Kyle has matured till the point he stopped abusing infants, Ike's small lines of dialogue are just great.
I wonder if the children who voiced him kept the swears in their vocabulary.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Nathan

Nathan is a fairly new character, and even though I didn't really care for him in the Looney Tunes spin-off, the second episode that featured him made me realise how funny he actually is. 

I liked the running gags and there being another villain character who might rival Cartman one day. Knowing South Park, Nathan's personality will only get amplified; after all, Cartman wasn't really a sadistic villain in the first season, just a spoiled brat who went home alot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Timmy

His lines are simple, but he causes easy laughs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Butters
A sweet boy who keeps being the victim of, well, everyone else's actions. He often gets paired up with Cartman to be his slave, and really, I think the series needed that. Stan, Kenny and Kyle are simply becoming more intelligent and less involved with Cartman, they wouldn't help him take over the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Jimmy

Jimmy is cheese itself, that's why it's hard not to love him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Cartman
As much as I like Cartman, he is down the list because I do feel that his evil personality is too big of a contrast compared to the personality he started out with in the series. Going from spoiled child to psychopathic genius is quite a leap, after all.
Even so, it's always fun to see how Cartman is able to manipulate his surroundings and always get what he wants. Except when the show decides he's a normal child again and he just quietly sits at the table having lunch after he tried to destroy the world with Cthulhu as his pet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Kyle

The interactions between him and Cartman are always enjoyable to watch, it's an interesting love-hate relationship and one of the more interesting relationships in general. Though I'm pretty sure the hate is stronger than the supposed "love". Hold your slash fanart.

But it's still a sad truth that Kyle only works as a person when Cartman is around; because honestly, Kyle has been too much of a goody-two-shoes lately. It isn't a bad thing, but in a show like South Park, it makes for a boring character.
While you have goody-two-shoes Butters, his character works because he's also naive till the point he's dumb, but Kyle is just too intelligent for the show in general.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Kip
A character we won't be seeing back anytime soon, I'm sure, but his pathetic life amused me.

Top 5 people with best laughs

I like to hear people laugh, it strengthens a joke, whether or not it was ever good to begin with. Of course, only loud and genuine laughs do the trick, so here's my list of people with the most contagious laugh.

From best to slightly less best:



1. Ricky Gervais
Actor Ricky Gervais is probably best known for his insane laughs, and that's a great thing to be known for. Insane laughs first, comedy career second.
The moment he's going at it, his voice pitch increases without effort and echo is to be heard everywhere, no matter the room or area he's in. That's a gift.

There aren't many people who can make the sound of pure, untainted joy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Fraser Agar
Fraser, from the internet series "Video Games AWESOME", is almost touching Ricky Gervais territory with his laughs. He too has a loud and high-pitched laugh that will turn any bad joke, or even normal event, into one great lulz.
Even though many people say the guy gets easily annoyed,
I'd say he gets easily amused. Besides, a man with such an honest laugh cannot be bitter at heart.

I especially appreciate a guy who laughs at his own jokes, without fear it makes him seem pathetic. It helps when you're actually funny, though.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Ben from "The Drunken Peasants"
This Youtube news podcast host is like an effective laugh track that producers would pay millions for to use for their cheesy "live audience" TV series.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Joel from "Vinesauce"
Next to him being a more talented and enjoyable Pewdiepie, Joel has a very contagious laugh to go with it. Pretty much any sound that comes out of this man makes the video you're watching enjoyable, which is why the videos were he hardly talks are a bit slow. Sadly enough, that makes most of his unedited recordings.
But as it's unedited, I can't treat it anything but fair.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Vinny from "Vinesauce"

While Vinny doesn't laugh that often during his gameplays, and is more known for his horrifying Shrek games gameplays, his short high-pitched bursts of giggles are powerful.
Just like Joel's videos, his unedited works tend to be a bit slow.

Chocolate and peanut butter

A combination I would never smear on my sandwich, but holy cow, best invention ever.

Humanoid robots

I want to be this a thing one day. Robots with actual human intelligence and an actual human appearance. 
Whatever doomsday-outcome it may give, I don't care.


Top 10 guilty pleasures

We all have those things we enjoy, but rather not mention in a conversation. Sometimes it's just not intended for you, it's widely known to be bad, or you just feel conflicted about the artist or the origin.

This is my list of guilty pleasures, going from "most ashamed" to least.



1. K3
It's not something most of you would know about, but this Flemish pop group for little girls is a big hit in the Netherlands. And I'm alright with them, their music is actually pretty nice and upbeat. It's very electronic dance.

But naturally, there is no place for me to listen or talk about them, so I never do so. 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Cinderella 3
 I can go as far as admitting to like this movie, and I already wrote an article about it, but I don't think I can get myself to suggest to watch the movie with anyone older than 12. My friends are out of the question.

Perhaps this is the "My Little Pony" in my life.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
3. Having sweets for breakfast or lunch
My first meal of the day is usually dinner, but before that time I sometimes find myself devouring candy. I can't say I'm doing it on purpose. Everybody loves candy and I just lack the hunger to have a full meal, so it happens that sometimes a chocolate bar ends up being my breakfast.

I'll probably be dead next week.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Stories involving Stockholm syndrome
While I don't want to describe it that way, I am clear-headed enough to realise it is exactly this. Most of us have this guilty pleasure, interestingly enough.
As much as we all love Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", both characters don't exactly have a nice start in their relationship. Gaston was more polite. Yet we were all cheering for this forced relationship between a kind village girl and a giant cursed dog.
I wouldn't look these kind of stories up in a million years, they are complete trash.

I always thought that the concept of a strong character with a weak character being its only weakness was the thing that appealed to me, but I wrote my own share of stories; and I never excluded the strong character being violent or mean towards their love interest in the beginning, therefore, I can only conclude that the Stockholm concept appeals to me, whether I like it or not.

Does that mean I'm looking forward to getting abducted and having to marry the nutcase who abducted me? Who would say "yes" to that. Get out of here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Pink clothes
It's a strange thing to mention in this list, especially since I talked about the colour pink in my negative blog. And really, it's not the concept of "pink clothes" that interests me, but every now and then I see or wear something pink, and I like it. Nothing else to say about it.

I guess my hatred for pink isn't strong enough.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. The fact I draw cartoon characters
Never did people not like what I do, internet and in real life, but there's something about the subject that prevents me to talk about it, or want to answer people's further questions.

While it's all that I draw and love to draw, I guess I feel embarrassed because it's all that I draw and love to draw. I know a bit too much about certain cartoon shows; things most people don't care about, and you have to wonder if there aren't more important things in life I should stuff into my brain.
Concerning art, realism just doesn't interest me and neither do lifeless objects. The question is how seriously people take artists who draw Spongebob, opposed to landscape painters, but I simply don't care about creating art that has no beating heart or is the same as taking a picture with your camera. I want to draw silly things that comes from the mind. Not what already exists in this world. When I draw a human, it has to be a cartoon with floppy arms.

But maybe it's all in my head, maybe I am just as cool as the more serious artists.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. McDonald's
Lets stop pretending: McDonald's is not as "bad" as we keep telling each other. Why would so many people eat there if the food truly tasted like old shoe? Not because it's cheap, that's for sure.

While I like to make jokes about the restaurant, I am happy to get invited to McDonald's.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. t.A.T.u's "Not Gonna Get Us"

When I first joined Youtube years and years ago, I remember this song having the same reputation as any Nickelback song had, as it's supposedly always heard in horrible fanvideos.
Back then, Nickelback songs were often used in music videos starring Sonic characters, voice clips from Dane Cook shows were thrown together with Inuyasha footage, and the song "Not Gonna Get Us" was used for overdramatic music videos starring animated characters from any movie or series.


People were sick of hearing this song, which really, isn't bad at all.

It's a total bummer, as I always wanted to make an animation with this song, but never did so, simply because the song was overused and considered crap.
I have no idea what people think of it these days, though.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
9. Micheal Jackson
I spent most of my teenage years calling the guy a filthy pedofile, but even if I got proved right by the most undiscardable proof, I guess it doesn't change the quality of his music.

While I still frown in my mind whenever a tribute to the man gets released or little children dress and dance like him on tv-talent shows, as he was still undoubtedly crazy, I guess I value his work over his mental health.
Love "Heal the World".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  10. Drawn characters that smoke
 
 Very specific and very strange, as I can't say I'm charmed by smokers. In fact, I don't want a cigarette anywhere near me, yet I still find it cool when a drawn character is portrayed with a cigarette.
What's up with that.

Reincarnation

While my believe in God disappeared, I did believe in reincarnation for a very long time. While it also does not make sense to me now, I still find it a very interesting concept. Moreso than being stuck in an afterlife for all eternity.
I've always been interested in the concept of immortality, and because Earth entertains me so, I do not care to become immortal in some ghost world that either "hands everything to me" or "where I get tortured for all eternity because I touched myself". That's why reincarnation appeals to me.

Though, what's the use if you never remember who you've been and what you've learned in your previous lives? What if your next form is an ant? Your life would be quickly over and no experience would be gained.

But well, the fact people only ever claim to be the reincarnation of a famous person makes the concept hard to believe, and then of course there's the issue that there are alot more people and animals today then there was generations ago.
If reincarnation is a thing, where do all those new "souls" come from? It doesn't make reincarnation needed.

Techno and trance music

It just always gives me a sugar rush when listening to it, which is very helpful when you're a long worker, like I am. Coffee never worked for me and drinking coke at night gives me stomach aches for some reason.

I can understand when people feel like all of it sounds the same, but really, it's a genre; every seperate gerne sounds the same.

I think techno and trance are reserved to having the best recorded melodies in any music genre, and really, don't we all like those remixes of our favourite pop song?


Blue shoes




A little while ago I decided: "You know what, I like blue shoes". 

The end.


Atheist rednecks

It's like walking through a forest and spotting a unicorn.

Classic beauties

These women just radiate power and security. Which is funny, as in that time men were calling all the shots and loved to slap hysteric women in movies. Strange times.

But look at them, they look so untouchable and beautiful.



The look on people's faces after being given praise

Really, we are just like dogs sometimes.

There is nothing more heartwarming than someone's face clearing right up after being given praise.
I guess the best example for this would be those cooking competition shows; where the contestants first nervously stand there waiting for their judgement, but right when the jury compliments them on their work, those faces shine brighter than the sun in the sky.

I could watch those kind of expressions forever.

Clothes with zippers at the front

I really like tops and dresses that have a big, long zipper at the front. I think because it reminds me of Kairi's dress from Kingdom Hearts 2. That dress always intruiged me, and I like Kingdom Hearts, of course.

The 60s Spider-Man meme



Come on, it's really funny.


Science

There is science behind everything, and the term and practice exists because of human curiosity.
I like curiosity and people showing interest in the workings of their surroundings, instead of just lazily sitting on their asses and assuming things that just sounds good to them. If you know what I mean.

The world is a remarkable place, a big wonderful puzzle where all the pieces fit perfectly; none of it ever needed magic to appear "special". There are puzzle pieces we'd rather not have around, but you can't put a leash on nature.

While some of it is too hard for common people to grasp, I don't think that's a bad thing or an excuse to discard a theory. Why should every person on the planet have to know exactly how every single little thing works in full detail?
It doesn't mean that person is stupid, alot of what science shares with us is.. grandiose, I suppose, for lack of better words.

But science doesn't just revolve around the things that already exist, but also science fiction.
What's more thrilling than seeing a documentary on television involving the concept of cloning, growing back entire limbs, making someone's brain downloadable, or creating humanoid robots who are in every way like a real human being?
I'm not saying everyone should love and agree with these ideas, but isn't it interesting, nevertheless?

Science, bitches.

Italian food

It is only the best thing humankind has ever come up with.

It's something I can't get enough of, and if I was given the choice to eat spaghetti every day, I would do so.
