Ernest Becker's _The Denial of Death_ makes the argument that we are all, in fact, still more or less stuck in trying to do our hero projects, an attempt to break with our existential dread of morality by finding refuge in heroism. Insofar as reality relentlessly makes (a possibly schizophrenic, narcissistic kind of) individualized heroism impossible or at least very difficult, we instead embark on hero-substitute projects.

I actually pretended to be an alien on a reconnaissance mission to Earth for the longest time, and all my friends went with it. Chuuni stage seems to happen earlier in western children than in Japanese children though, if anime is to be believed, since that shit ended quickly once we got to middle school.

>>134771915
This, kind of. I always wanted to be a supervillain and related more to them than the heroes of stories. It struck me as utterly bizarre when a hero would reject a villain's proposal to join him since that was pretty much my dream. To this day I sympathize with villains the most and I'm usually the one who makes threads about how ____ did nothing wrong because I genuinely believe that.
>>134776457
>It struck me as utterly bizarre when a hero would reject a villain's proposal to join him
Fucking this.
My lifelong dream was to be in the hero's party, yet not particularly the hero. I want to be the one that progressively falls more and more into despair and into "end-justifies-the-means" type of thoughts.
It was my dream to fall in love with the cute girl that is in love with the hero, and to die in the final battle against the villain to save her and the hero so they can deal the finishing blow.
I wanted afterwards to be unloved and not remembered, not even by those two I've saved, as they hate me for what I had become.
I don't quite understand why but I love this. Maybe I'm just an edgy fuck.

Being a hero is overrated.
>>134771335
Legitimately, and it carried far later in life that it does for more reasonable people. I studied martial arts for years and trained my body assuming that someday I would need to stop some sort of evil or misfortune. I tried to train myself to endure pain so I couldn't be successfully tortured, by burning my hands with hot water or punching bricks or whatever I could think of that wouldn't leave me injured.
What a fucking joke. The last time I did anything close to "saving" anyone was beating up bullies in grade school. And now I can't join the military or become a fire fighter because of a heart condition that showed up and occasionally leaves me completely incapacitated so I can't even rely on my body
Cute anime girls are my only escape from this shitty world now.
I still haven't given up on becoming a hero. With a mind of steel, I continue on in life, ready to fight for a greater cause at a moment's notice.
>>134771335
You're not. I'm on the start of the path that
>>134784160
went on. But I won't give up. When evil appears someday, I'll be ready to fight it. A broken body will slow me, but I won't let my mind break. For my ideals are the strongest.
>>134784255
Here's hoping you keep up your spirits longer than I did. I admire the ideal, even if it's no longer a plausible path for me.

Let me guess, anime ruined your vision and it didn't work out.
I always wanted a little sister.
Kiritsugu > Shirou
I was mostly that way.
Some of my earliest memories are reading or watching super happy stuff for really young children and thinking how it would be better if the protagonist got hurt more along the way.
>>134771335
No, actually, though that would be somewhat nice. I always lacked that purpose and state of mind that allows you to surpass yourself in trying to do something, whether possible or not, and was a little jealous of people who had it.
Well, it's not like I am old and\or dying. Maybe one day I will find something like that.
I did.
I wanted some great purpose in life. When I was a kid everything was just money problems and family problems.
I half figured it was my tragic backstory being set up.
Around the age of ten I realized it was dumb and useless and I was never going to be some hero, so I just applied myself in life instead.
It'd be a lot simpler to worry about saving the world instead of making house payments and worrying about all the little things. Just some clear-cut goal you can reach for instead of supposed status symbols and creature comforts.
>>134771335
I remember in Elementary school kept thinking, "my grand adventure will come any day now, it'll be just like the movies".
But then I grew up and realized how painfully boring real life is
>>134785393
>>134771335
Well, sort of. Not the protector kind, though. I wanted to be an inventor and shape the world with my creations.
I mean, I did think that dudes waving swords around were cool like any kid, but even at a young age it was obvious to me that those kind of "heroes" could merely conserve the world, rather than change it.
>>134786233

I thought I was just being apathetic but it really is pointless right?

In that fucking PS2 game, I remember finding a Nazi in a corner by a gate and whipping him to death.
It took 6 minutes to kill him and he screamed in pain with every whip.I couldn't stop laughing.And then I died on purpose to kill him again.

Nah, as a kid I wanted to be an accountant, I wanted a stable life with a nice house, a wife and 2.5 kids.
Only as a grew up and came to appreciate time and freedom more did I want to become a hero.
Why would you want to be the hero if you can be the one to betray the hero and prove humans a shit?
actually I just always wanted to be the traitor to have my five minutes of fame, nothing more.
I wanted the hero to beat me because i'm fucking weird.

Not really. I was an edgelord.
I've had no dreams since I was a child.
Somehow I'm still alive.
If reincarnation exists, I was probably a NEET in my past life. I wonder if I'll become one this time as well.
>>134771335
No, I just desired to get laid by a girl so I can transcend from /a/.
Then I remembered, once I'm here, I'm here to stay forever.

I don't really understand what sort of logic you use to get to an idea that getting laid will somehow make you stop shitposting about cartoons. Holy shit anon.
>>134799862
You mean you aren't a NEET already?
>>134771335
Kinda yeah.
I wanted to be Fingolfin. Minus the amazing death.
I still dream everyday of unlocking my inner powers and becoming a hero.
Until then, how should I become a hero /a/?
>>134803948
Get /fit/. Until you can save yourself, you'll never be able to save others.
I just wanted to become strong.
I did.
Not as satisfying as I'd hoped, but it's still something.
Pro Tip: Don't waste your time with imaginary martial arts and go straight for combat sports.
>>134805097
Tell me what combat sport you practice so I can laugh at you.
>>134805097
>Imaginary martial arts
Like what? Can't you just become Saitama by doing calisthenics, practicing a few practical punches, combos and kicks and do them over and over till you are good at them?
I don't think you need anything else if you just want to be good in a street fight.
>>134808089
I guess it depends on what sort of practice you do. If you just fight your shadow on your mom's basement I don't think any level of training will actual win experience.
But yeah, there's a theory that if you want to be a good practical fighter you need just to master one punch and one kick that you can execute swiftly. I wouldn't kick much though, as that often goes straight into figure-walking shit.
>>134771335
Training everyday for it actually.
Nothing wrong in figuring out how to follow my dreams eh?
>>134789534
If that's Realta Nua you should be able to toggle the h-scenes on and off at any time..
>>134808255

>>134808196
Side kick, hook kick, and standard punches on heavy bag + double end bag. I figure it's really better to keep it most simple.
>>134808527
Too much kicking. While you kick there's always a risk opponent manages to catch your leg or you lose your balance. For example where I live I wouldn't even consider for example ridiculously aiming a kick towards opponents head as ground is frozen majority of the year. If you want to kick you should always kick below the waist as that is more painful and has a change of permanently disabling opponent by for example damaging his knee.
>>134808527
>Side kick, hook kick
Ditch those. Kicks are not very useful in a street fight.
Learn how to stand, when and how to guard, and how to throw a propper punch. After that you need real life experience above anything else, a bag won't help with that.
All I ever desired was to fuck brown girls in the pooper

>>134810165
What a noble dream.
When I was a kid, my dream was to become a famous inventor. I would always tell my family that I was going to kill every disease and give them immortality. I even told my cousin who's pretty much my best bro that I was going to build him a hover board. I even drew a bunch of schematics of various things that I thought I was going to build.
But then as I started to grow, I realized that I'm actually not very smart at all and that nothing is easy. Life is hard and it sucks.
Now I'm just waiting to die, life is suffering.
>>134771335
i decided to become a villain instead
Since we're talking about dreams it wasn't to be a hero, but I've always wanted my own kingdom.
A lot of things didn't work out, and there were some sacrifices along the way but I think I've lived that dream as best I could.

Yeah, I did, and I still want to. I'm going into biomedical research for that exact reason. It may not be as heroic as being a soldier or firefighter or doing something that risks my life, but I am trying to devote my life to helping people. It's entirely selfish though, because I feel like helping other people is the only way to be happy. I don't really know if that's heroic or not, in the end.
