blog 14 imperfect perfection.
In the philosophy of the world of the movie Truman show. play by jim carrey. there is a philosophy sentence said by one of the character christof: "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, it's as simple as that.". this statement stay true in the naruto crack-fic of imperfect perfection. the character in the story have met a girl who is not from their world who is too perfect to say the least. heck perfect is an understatement to describe the beauty and intelligent this girl possess. yes everyone this character is a Mary Sues.
lets me explain to you all what is a marry sues is. mary sues is a self-insert character base on the fanfiction author in real life. or It just an original character make by the author. this character will often have god moding. which is by the way is just what it name is like, the character can do ANYTHING. solve any problem with ease. to describe the picture here is a snippet from another fanfic on the site about mary sues:
"The new girl stepped forward to be sorted and every male in the room felt his chin hit the floor. Many fainted. She was the most beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, attractive (reaches for thesaurus), striking, lovely, wondrous creature they had ever seen. She had long curly/perfectly straight tresses the color of sun-kissed honey/raven black/burnished copper with highlights of flame/glossy golden sunlight/deep chocolate mahogany, and her eyes were like sapphires/emeralds/rubies/amethysts or as black as the blackest night. She was not too tall or too short nor too skinny nor too heavy. She was perfectly proportioned and toned. She had a fabulous tan. She smiled shyly at the assembled students and they were momentarily blinded by her dazzling straight white teeth." ~ from Harry Potter and the Overdone Plot Devices.
as you can see the character is not natural it is a main character to the max with unbelievable luck and skill. Beauty is included in that packet also.
why in the story the character just pop up in the story out of now where all of a sudden every major character in the story started to like her, like she was the most important thing in the world, they do not question this or talk about how strange this is. it contradict other people perception of them. this affect most of the major character except the main character which is the title all about naruto. he feel unsafe near her, like she shouldn't exist in this world. which is trues she is a self inserted character. this story is about the author poking fun at all of the mary sues fic on the site. that keep spawning every day. it actually is a good read if you know what it is about.

The
expulsion from the Garden of Eden
The
painting above is showing Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden
for defying god word and eating the apple of knowledge. In the story it is
shown that the snake or man-snake-thing is tempting eve to eat the apple. If
you was to know this story, you might say the snake is evil or the angel is
good and that Adam and eve was expulse from the garden because they was to
naïve to not follow god word.
But
to an outsider perspective of the painting it goes the opposite. In the
painting it is seem that the snake man is greeting Adam and eve. You can see
the genuine friendliness he shows them, and the facial expression of
friendliness from them to him, they seem to not be afraid of this half-man
snake, but greet him. The other side of the picture shows an angel pointing a
sword at another human, forcing them to walk away. They seem to be terrified of
this and trying to get away as you can see. This is what you see when you look
at the painting with no knowledge of what it about be for hand.
Nietzsche
philosophy on good and evil is that there is no such thing it only base on
person to person. In the painting as you can see you can infer from it from
many direction from the people who know what the painting about and the one for
who does know what it about. If you were to know the story, you would know that
the snake is bad because, he trick eve to eat the apple, and thus god banish
them out of the garden. But there is no apple in the painting thus we cans
assume that the snake is just greeting them as a friendly person. The angel is
guiding them out. But base on another view we can see that the snake is
greeting them in a friendly way while the angel is forcing them to go away with
a dagger. As you can see in there is many point of view you can look at this
from, the painting show there is no such thing as good and evil it depend on
the person who was looking at it and their knowledge of it.
