...anyone?

So far, at least? It, certainly feels like it.

Should I... vote at all?

I don't think I'll ever understand politics. I still don't have a real grasp on what the word means.

How many little kids have you talked to about monsters?

...uhhh, not many.

Remember when you heard the term, "monster?" Back then, when children heard the term, "monster," they thought of those dangerous horrors that lurk in the dark(namely in bed or closet at night) and kidnap or eat children while they're asleep.

But now, thenks majority to Japanese fiction and other trends, The term ,"monster" now associates with " those cute, cuddly creatures that one can raise into badass fighting machine and still be kept as pets.

When you thought something was scary, dangerous, threatening, or challenging, back then, but now... not as much, if at all! It's often now either "cute," "wimpy," or just plain "lame!" What you thought was originally tough has now gone soft. Has the term "monster" lost its original meaning? Or am I just delusional?

I mean, Look at vampires then(Nosferatu) and now(Chibi Vampire Karin).

I still miss how Witches were often depicted in fiction. Bitter, mean, & scary. Like, classic witches have traded their humanity for true magic and power. I don't mind a young, non-ugly, normal skinned witch, but Japan often goes too far with that. Though, I guess I have Bewitched to blame.

...eh, it's probably just me being Nostalgic.
