I seem to have lost the ability to make decisions

So internet. I lack self control.

The two Creatures stories I have up are not really stories so I really should take them down anyway even on grounds other than the fact they are terrible, terrible things.

I have five non-pesterlog fics. (Sperl and Beginnings could be smushed together, though.) There's the one with Vriska backstory, the one that's a high school AU, the one that's Eridan/Feferi, the one that's about baking and the one about a sburb game. What two should I post? Or should I just post all of them and forget about keeping my pretty numbers?

What's so special about 108 anyway? Just wondering.

It's a special number in Japanese mythology, roughly equivalent to 666 here.

...that's probably not the best analogy. You'd never expect to see a rosary with 666 beads, or a Christian church with 666 steps. It can be ominous, but it's a holy number, not one to be avoided like the plague.

...that would be awesome though.

It could be the church in charge of kicking off the apocalypse!

Yeah, that's sort of what I meant! In Christianity, it's "This is the Devil's number and if you have anything to do with it you are probably a servant of the Devil." In Buddhism it's "This is a number associated with devils, so let's meditate on it until we've purged them."

I guess it's sort of like the difference between, "If your eyes offend you, pluck them out!" and "Huh you fucked up pretty badly and maybe you'll be blind in the next life. Oh well, you'll get through it eventually!"

Technically, it's not that 108 itself is too important, but that 108 is one of the last cool numbers. There are many pleasing numbers but things get into triple digits you've got that stupid 1 ruining otherwise nice number combinations.

And pretty numbers are the most important thing.
