Today I went to the house of the late Kagemitsu. I asked for a picture of him, but the only one they were willing to part with was this one. When I got home I hastily got Minion to work on scanning it.
And, well, here it is.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/Swiftman/real%20pictures/kagkid.jpg)
Kagemitsu at grade 3, taken on the bus.
I thought I should share. The main difference as he aged was his hair stayed that long, but grew quite frizzy, like the sprite I made of him. [and natural things like height, muscle, etc]
Just a.... well, something for you all to see, to get a slight idea of what he looked like....
-
Wow... his hair really was quite red...
-
I wasn't kidding when I said his sprite hair wasn't red enough.
-
CJMErl: I don't mean to be rude or anything...so I'll let Yami ask the question (and be my meatshield)...
Yami CJMErl: Who's Kagemitsu?
-
Kagemitsu was a forum member and friend of Swiftman who tragically died a few months ago. =(
-
What Yamino said, but he left something out.
Kagemitsu was totally mute. He had his vocal cords ripped out.... actually, not long after that picture, in a really bad car accident. He couldn't made a single sound, not a hum, tweet or nothing involving vocal cords. he made up for it by having a lot of facial expressions, sign language and wonderful whistling capabilities.
And he was awesome at Descent and Gunstar Heroes.
*sighs* Damn, that kid was great..... Him and Lacus both.... And to think...
-
Yeah, Swift. There are lots of stuff that happens in life that we don't want........
-
By the way, did he know American Sign Language or Signed English?
-
Don't I know it, Jehuty. Dont' I know it........
Also, I tried to go to Lacus's bio parents to get the most recent piocture of her I could find, but found that they had thrown away any evidence they ever had her.
Made me right pissed, so I came home.... And, well, yeah. That's my story for the day......
-
Wow. What horrible people.
-
Well, their behavior was understandable. But throwing away everything they had of her? That's just........*sigh*
-
Jehuty, what do you mean their behaviour was understanable? When they went to her funeral, they didn't cry. They didn't tear. In fact, Lacus's mom looked BORED.
I made sure to give them a piece of my mind..... I oughta post what I said to them....
-
Well, their behavior was understandable. But throwing away everything they had of her? That's just........*sigh*
No, it wasn't. They had a wonderful daughter and they cast her out for no reason. Parents and thier kids fight every day, that's no reason to kick them out.
-
I would at least keep a few pictures or something.......... But that's....... well...... yeah. You get what I mean.
-
I don't. How was their behaveiour understandable?
-
Never mind...... I guess I said something I shouldn't have -_- Just don't mind me.....
-
I am minding.
State your menaing, jehuty.
Please.
-
Well....... *sigh* I guess (and I'm not too sure about this either) they were just overwhelmed with losing their daughter. They just didn't want to dwell on it anymore I guess. However, that doesn't excuse the fact that they threw away the pictures. Of course, I don't know anything about Lacus or her parents so I shouldn't be talking................ -_- I'm kinda at a loss of words. It's hard for me to explain..............
-
That'd doubtfully the reason they threw her pictures out...
-
...................that's why I said I'm not too sure about it.
-
I'll explain it, Jehuty....
Lacus's parents thought of her as an extra mouth to feed, something that used up precious money, and had no real point to her. Even though she did extremely great in school, her dad still didn't think she had any real use. [me and him had a LONG talk on this.........]
So it was no skin off his flint to lose a daughter. Her mother thought along the same lines, apparently she passed out in her birth and didn't feel any pain of labour and that, so she didn't really make any sacrafices on her part for Lacus. Niether of her parents loved Lacus, and since Lacus went through school not being really appreciated, she had a long, lonely upbringing.....
I changed that as best as I could.
I gave her friends, I gave her people to talk to, people who would actually LISTEN, and people that would appreciate and congradulate her on her every achievement. And, the one she seemingly liked the most, I gave her a brother. She said she always wanted a non-mean big brother, like in the TV shows.... And, well, due to circumstances, that came into being for her. I did my damndest to be the best frickin brother I could be, and as we all know, this was for naught at the end of a fateful camping trip.
And at Lacus's funeral, as many attended as I could get them to come. Kary's family, Minion's family, Broom and Garland sadly couldn't make it.... Damn, Garland doesn't even know about Lacus or Kagemitsu dieing yet..... he's gonna be crushed when he finds out. He felt bad enough when he accidently hit Lacus with a quad, breaking both her legs....
Well, that should help you a little, jehuty.
Needless to say, Lacus's bio parents didn't give her existance one lick. Those two are the people in this world I hate and despise the most..... Even more than Dubya Bush.....
-
Ah, I see now. Some parents....... *shakes head .......
-
This thread is depressing. How can a parent not love a child. Especially an assumingly awesome and cute person like Lacus. It's a shame I never knew about her till it was too late.
This world is too cruel sometimes.
-
Right there is a great example of that Peaches brand intelligence.
The world is too cruel sometimes.
And how right he is.....
-
Let's not be like this. The world is depressing, sure, but with a little help, we can make it better. At least, that's what I've always believed.
And at Lacus's funeral, as many attended as I could get them to come.
Bullshit. If you'll remember, you forbid certain people from coming.
-
People that had easy access. I didn't want to cause economic ruin in yoru family, Lazlo. And by the time you got here [if you drove] it would have been over anyways.
............
I just realized that Lacus never got to play Descent.... She watched a lot, but never accepted any offers I made to have her play..... Odd... The same with Starfox, too....
-
That's a damn lie and you know it. After I told you "I wish I could be there, but I can't" you told you wouldn't let me anyway.
-

Oddly enough, it's peoples fault 99% of the time.
