@Filene Well, I used the word in reference to Chara Dreemurr, with whom I've bear a strange relationship; I _was_ Chara Dreemurr, for a time, before I was anything else. I first spoke using their voice. It's complicated...
Chara's rather strongly associated with knives, and while I dislike that bloodthirsty interpretation of them, I nevertheless have to admit the image has some relevance to me. I've learned some really bad coping mechanisms to emotional wounds, and I've said some very calculatedly hurtful things to people. It's gotten me into really bad trouble from time to time.
