kryptonitemonkey | What an odd reaction.

I have observed a most intriguing reaction within myself. I have somewhat noticed it before, but it has become more noticeable of late. It is this: when I find myself viewing some huge army, be it on tv, music video, movie, or whatnot, and not like current armies, but like huge hordes from ages past, or even imaginary ones, the thing is, I feel within me this swelling urge within me. To wipe them all out no less. Images spring into mind of massive swelling hordes being torn apart in a maelstrom of power, like a superman amongst mortals. It's all very interesting to myself. It's like when I see these vast numbers, I suddenly have that urge to quote the potential from Buffy after she got her powers; "These guys are dust." Of course, it probably helps that when I see these things there tends to be swelling and powerful music, plus I've been reading the Iliad, and more importantly Steven Erikson, whose books are just punctuated with powerful individuals and grand battles. Maybe it's bloodlust, or powerlust, heck if I know. Though, after reading Memories of Ice, I seem to be, for the moment, thinking of Paran, filled with the blood of the Hounds of Shadow. Feral, lusting for a good fight. Very odd.
