Post Villianous Smirk.

Ok before you continue picture a villanous smirk. Now what does it look like? Describe it as accuratly as you can. Add in who was doing the smirking if you have a specific person/character in mind. Then try the same thing with the glaring eye twitch of frustration.

This was the first imagination exercize.

Now the second one.
Picture a heros grin. One where they've just freed there lover, or killed some badguy. What does this look like, and who do you picture doing it?

Now you should write down what you thought of before your influenced by my comments.

This is really important to the rest of this post. I know your a lazy ass just like the rest of us but at least have an immutable idea in a physical form before you go on.

************************************************** *******


I came to the realization that Villianous smirks occur on the right side and a heroes grin occurs on the left side.
I think this is because in cartoons/TV/movies the hero is on the right and the badguy is on the left. Therefore we see the right side of a villain and the left side of the hero.

I pictured Snidely Whiplash and his dog (old cartoon fan), and the guy from Blazing dragons (I've had Toon Disney for years) for the eye twitch.

For the smirk I pictured Brad Pitt from Troy (seen it earlier this week for the first time.) And Bugs Bunny (my favorite personal hero behind only superman.)

Also on subject is did anyone else picture these same people doing the smirks. I think that if anybody matches up theres gotta be some deep similarity between the two people who matched.

I think this is deeply connected with the effect TV has on the brain (see post entitled Californication)

I call that reason Fate. You may call it Destiny, but in actuality Destiny is only Fates child.

Moving to Off-Topic. "Californication", as goofy as it is, at least has some sort of Discussion-y premise going for it -- media effect on blah blah blah -- but this, not so much. Sorry.

I asked several different forumers where it belonged and it was unanimously decided that it belonged in discussion. Guess THEY were wrong.

"Mashirosen using Kurosen's computer"
I was thinking I've never seen Brain doing any Modding before.

My last 2-8 lines are always some kind of pathetic attempt at humor which is just used to waste space and take up time in your lives. I also use them to plug other things I find interesting.

:thief:"Hes gotta stop doing that."
:bmage:"Ageed! He sucks at comedy."

See my avatar?

That's what I'd imagine what a villian is like. The straight line of the mouth is curved slightly on the left (but only because the face is facing left. It's the same on the right). The eyes are shrouded, not only masking his identity, but revealing that his evil goes deeper than "I'm evil because". And lastly, the shade of his cloak, a faded purple and black, hiding the intent and hatred of the man (which doesn't work, because the cloak just makes his evil obvious).

>_>


And yes, he's smirking. And he's possibly about to laugh.

Well, try this.

Smirk a bit to the right. Feel a slight mischievous twitch in your mood?

Now, smirk a bit to the left. Feel a slight self-satisfied twitch in your mood?

It may be more a a psychological thing than a white hat/black hat thing. You know you can get an idea of what a person's thinking by which way their eyes are looking?

Try this: when in a calm mood, sit up straight in a chair and focus on one point in the near distance, say a spot on the wall. Look straight at it -- this is important!

Now, close your eyes and think of when you, say, joined this forum. Picking a name, going through the motions, et cetera.

Your eyes are probably looking to the upper-right of the selected point.

Mess around with that a bit. Imagine pain, happiness, et cetera. My point is that the smirk thing probably works the exact same way.

You can also "twitch" a calm mood if you turn your eyes in various directions. Kinda cool.
