/a/. In youth you must have wanted to become a hero. You desired it more than anything else.
Am I wrong?
No, I wanted to become a plant.
Go away.
Fuck off and I command you to bitch slap yourself.
Yes, you are wrong.
I wanted to be a soldier, but not any kind of soldier, a giant robot pilot. Not a gundam, not anything overpowered, just a simple giant robot pilot.
Yeah but then my future red man self told me that I would get dragged down by my ideals.
So now I eat hotpockets and shitpost in Aldnoah threads.
>>121377209
I wanted to marry my teacher, my friend's mom, and the girl who gave me balloons at the zoo when I was younger. Who the fuck dreams of being a superhero?
>Implying I am not training right now to become a hero
I just wanted to restore mana.
>>121377209
Shut up and go marry the grail Saber.
>>121377209
But I still do!
>>121377209
You're extremely wrong. I wanted to become god.
I never wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be a master Thief like Lupin.
Instead I'm not a thief. Life is disappointment.
>>121377209
My only true desire is to be completely comfy in life
>>121377209
I wanted to wear Victorian style dresses. Like the one you wear Saber.
I wanted to be a Power Ranger, but also have a steady income with benefits.
>>121377209
No, I just wanted to be the captain of an exploration cruiser on the frontier.Why must I have been born too early ;_;
>>121377209
I wanted to be a soldier until Obama came along
>spend entire life becoming a "hero" and killing thousands
>die a heroic death
>get summoned back to life by a teenager and have to do what they say
>>121377209
Actually no, you aren't.Still do.
Where's a fucking grail war when you need one, dammit.
>>121377209
Well to be honest, I wanted to be a train driver, then an aeronautical engineer, then I realized I was shit at math so that went down the drain.
>>121378429
He got a lot out of it, too.
Ain't life a bitch.
>>121377209
Become an hero.
>>121377209
On the plus side it got me interested in philosophy, so that's something. Still training on the rest.Anyone know good magic schools nearby?
Fuck that. I wanted shit for my personal gain and still do. So I guess I really wanted to be a super villain
Mind of Steel.
So you want to become a hero /a/?
I wanted to be a commercial pilot but, then I learned that cost money and If my futures son ever wants to be a pilot I probably won't be able to pay or his lesson's either. It's a viscous cycle of disappointment.
When you think about it, Saber and Kerry ultimately had the same goals, just a very different methodology, thus leading to a cruel irony. Urobutcher is literally Shakespeare.
>>121377209
Nah I wanted to be a paleontologist. Now I'm an ecologist that studies paleontology as a hobby.
When I was little I dreamed of becoming a super hero with super strength, immortality, flying and all that sorta shit. Not so I could save people, just so I could travel around the world without a budget and look at all the untouched parts of the world and see nature.
>tfw you still want it, badly
>tfw knowing it will never happen
>>121378786
It's ok, just save the money and pass your dream onto your son.
>>121378869
It's a dilema older than the stones, but the F/SN universe plays it very well indeed. One of the reasons it's in my top 3 franchises.
>>121379134
I thought it was played rather well also, but just not actually addressed enough.
I just wanted to make someone smile, somehow. To me, being a hero meant I might have the power to do that.
I actually always wanted to be a villain and crush the power of friendship.
I want to be superhero partners with Saber and save the world together.
>>121377209
Actually I wanted to be a villain.
Because they were almost always cooler.
>>121379325
Do you wish to be a knight, anon?
>>121379325
I'd pair withKiritsugu. I'm shitty in melee.
>>121379410
But wouldn't it be better to have a melee/range combo?
>>121377209
>All those evil servant wannabes
REMOVE EVIL
REMOVE EVIL FROM THE PREMISES
>>121379459
Bullets only work on masters anyway. Saber wouldn't approve.
>>121379510
Exactly! One must fight with honor on the battlefield!
I actually wanted to be a knight swordsman.Half of that kinda sorta came true, but royalty is not in style nowadays.
>>121379554
I'm more of a "whatever works" kind of hero. Not on the airline downing level, but working on it.
>>121379558
We need to bring back the monarchy! Vive le roi!
Yep, I wanted to be strong and save people. I wanted to be a firefighter.
>>121377209
i wanted to become a jew and make a aloha snackbars shop though.
The only thing i've ever wanted was the material wealth to make all of my loved ones live the comfortable lives they deserve.
Instead im an unmotivated shit.
I was a pretty big bully as a kid, If anything I wanted to be a demon that ruled the world.
Man, I really was a a shitty edgelord.
Don't you all regret notjumping that barnow?
>>121379400
Yes, nothing would please me more than fighting for justice alongside my king.
>>121380027
I wonder if most of the knights knew the king was a girl. Surely someone this small and cute couldn't have been a man.
>>121379325
I just want to fuck Saber.
>>121377209
I actually wanted to drop out of elementary school so I could be a Pokemon Master.
>>121380178
Please no lewd thoughts. Although I'm surprised Lancelot kept it in his pants long enough to not diddle Saber.
>Be a kid
>Mum asks, "What do you want to be when you grow up anon?"
>I don't know the specifics at this point. I'm just a child with no understanding of the world
>All I know is that I want to help people
>Time passes and I continue to roam through life with no real interests, just a vague desire to help as many people as I can
>I spend all my time attending to people, relishing the chance to help them with their personal problems. I forgo relationships with girls when I know it will hurt a friend, I take the fall for trouble other people have caused, I even intervene in various fights around school that I happen to pass by, which got me beaten up a few times.
>Before long I'd developed a reputation for being really kind and selfless. One teacher even describes me as "gallant". I have many friends and I find my role fixing everyone's little problems very rewarding
>School ends. I took no interest in my studies and did terribly
>All my friends and the people that depended on me so much in school have moved on to brighter and better things
>I am all alone, and my purpose in life is lost
>Fumbling around for some new interpretation of my raison d'etre, I dabble in all sorts, but nothing feels the same as it used to.
>The pain of existential crisis becomes too much and and I take refuge in an empirical philosophy
>I decide the best way to live my life would be to ignore how miserable I was and keep trying to help people on a larger scale than I have until now. Go ubermensch pretty much
>Researching how I might go about this, I decide to aim for a career in medical research
>First time I've ever had a tangible goal in my life
>Blast my way through retakes in a year and land a place at a university with a decent biosciences institute tacked on, saving relentlessly as I do so
>I've been completely alone for 5 years at this point and haven't really enjoyed myself through this period
>I feel emotionally detached from everything
>tfw wanting to be a hero ruined my life
>>121380844
>>121380844
Ganbare anon! I believe you can push through this!
>>121380844
At least you got dubs anon
>>121378646
Then you realise ol EMIYA would gut Kerry in half a second if they ever actually met.
>>121381052
What makes you say that? Sure he'd be capable of it, but would EMIYA have a reason to outside of the grail war?
>>121377209
You're wrong, I've always wanted to be an edgelord. I listened to Linkin Park every day and discussed it with my edgemate, praising the best band in the universe.
>>121381154
Well, he'd probably try it anyways for the vague hope that it'll end his existence because Kerry's mixed signals basically made Shirou's superhero complex (and the whole Fuyuki city burning thing)
>>121380844
Do you still want to be a hero?
>>121380844
Wow, I think that has to bemy first time seeing that image without the Nisekoi edit.
>Post your dreams that will never come true in this thread.
I wanted to be a doctor instead of being here.
Saber is the best grill and you can't prove me wrong. Even goldenfag think so.
>>121381307
I want to make a big archaeological find.
I always wanted to have a boring office job
And here I am, I made it
Dreams do come true
>>121381351
I can prove you right though!
>>121381240
No mixxed signals about Kerry just dumped the naive ideals that ruined his own life on a mentally traumatized kid and the end result was EMIYA a guy who hated himself and the ideals that shaped him so damn much he literally fucked with time/space from beyond the grave just to try and kill himself in the hope he'd cease to exist.
If he saw the retard who gave him those ideals ol archer would be gay bulging him right off the instant he see's Kerry.
>>121381307
I want to be a happy neet rich man
>>121378870
Don't fucking lie Anon, nobody on /a/ has a job.
>>121381420
Don't you mean raw anus'ing?
>>121381396
Exciting jobs are taxing though.
>>121381549
zecchan pls
>>121377280
How's the family man? Oh what you'r wife's dead and you can't get you'r kid from the inlaws so you replaced her with a ginger nut?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
>>121380844
Shoulda just became a firefighter.
>>121381277
At this stage I just want to be emotionally stable. I had a mental breakdown 2 years ago and pulled out of going to uni. I was in the process of making elaborate suicide plans when my brother got onto my computer one day while I had a loose tab open with a guide on how to properly commit a dead drop hanging.
Since the fallout from this incident I've been a shut in neet. For a long time I actively tried to sabotage my life in an effort to "push myself" into suicide. I would spend days at a time in bed, only leaving to go to the toilet, refusing food and loading myself up with water to combat the feeling of hunger and just generally make an effort to be as miserable as possible so I could develop the "killer edge" I'd need to not pussy out and kill myself. I'd even stolen a rope from a friend of mine I'd taken the trouble to travel and visit.
Eventually as time passed my mood stabilized but fundamentally I am the same and if I try to be all ubermensch again I reckon it'll just be a matter of time until I have another breakdown. These days I am a complete and utter nihilist who does nothing but go with the flow. I suppose you could say I'm a bit epicurean in outlook because in following the neet lifestyle I try to minimize the pain that naturally piles up as I live my life.
>>121381955
You could always try to get a hobby. I find that that helps.
I wanted to be a god
>>121382081
Shut up, Wesker.
>>121381307
An adventure ;_;
