Mm. I'd suggest peeking through your fingers, then, and always opening in a new window, so you can kill it quickly if it's too much. Or learn the keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to look at the screen. To show people exactly how horrific it is, or just to give me nightmares? :P

Ouch. Most of the time I'm too stunned by suddenly being able to see my own muscle tissue or something to really cry. I've got a "Whoa, so that's what bone looks like when it's sticking through someone's skin!" reaction a lot of the time. I guess that's a good thing. Mm. I guess I'm just not liking the idea of crying wolf -- if I'm going to have Yami bolt for the sink/toilet, I want whoever's reading it to understand just how overwhelming seeing something like that could be, and not to think he's just being overdramatic or something. A lot of people (I've been poking for opinions, naturally) don't really know how bad a severe burn is, and most haven't smelled burning flesh before, so.... Heh, maybe the post should include visual aids.

Of course I do. I'm a bit amazed, though, that you haven't yet deleted your comment and fixed the code.
