*sigh* Thought too much about a childhood OC whose entire gimmick was being the child of Link and Ruto.

Strangely enough, there isn't too much of that pairing. *shrug* Suppose the Link/Zelda shippers are a bigger contingent? (Not that I mind, but still...)

Makes me think, though - it's not true that shipping is distributed evenly amongst main contestants, as Link/Zelda probably dominates OOT hetfic. True, a chunk of that is Ruto being not human, but that doesn't always stop people. If she was a bunnygirl rather than a fishgirl, they'd have to beat the furries away with clubs. It does have to do with personality and perceived compatibility, not just 'lolshippers'.

*climbs off soapbox* Anyway, I'll probably have forgotten about this later, but I just wanted to comment on that point.

I would place the most important aspects of psychopathy as a lack of remorse, an absence of strong morality, and a fascination with deceit.

Why am I omitting the lack of empathy? Simple. I believe psychopathic behavior can occur in people who claim to be perfectly empathic if they have the above three traits. I also believe that psychopathic behavior will not occur in people with low empathy who are remorseful, moral, and honest. True, it's in one's best interests to practice the "Locks keep honest men honest" attitude around them. But they don't pose dangers in the way that those with the above three traits do.

As a final note, it's sufficient for "empathic" people to have the first two traits to render them capable of some of the least empathic behavior you'll stumble across, luck permitting. The fascination with deceit, however, seems to be what enables psychopaths to deal massive amounts of damage.

Sorry if this isn't very well-written. I'm feeling a little under the weather today and I'm hitting the caffeinated beverages. *shrug*

Also, gewd gad, who's the sadist at GPXPlus who keeps inserting the 'Get 100 people to feed your Pokemon a certain berry! :D' tasks? Bleh...
