Some of you have never had a pestilence and plague sent into your house, into your bed, into your streams, into your streets, into your drink, into your bread, upon your cattle, on your sheep, upon your oxen in your field, into your dreams, into your sleep, until you break, until you yield and it really shows

Bart is Kaneda, Millhouse is Tetsuo and Akira… well Ralph is Akira…

“my character was really george”

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, “REY IS A MARY SUE” NECKBEARDS?
