  Hi everyone. I just want to thank all my fans out there who have been so supportive of me during this very difficult time. The doctors say my ears are going to be ok but it might be a while before my breasts and my nose grow back completely. I can’t even begin to tell you how traumatized I am over this whole incident but I want my fans to know that your love and support means so much and is really helping me get through this. I am thankful for each and every one of you, love you guys.

  Transcript of Interview with Lakshmana Posted at lakshmanaloyalists.com

  Admin: So there’s been some flacktalk about what you did to Surpanakha.

  Lakshmana: Aw man, you know.

  Admin: Some people are upset and.

  Lakshmana: Rakshasas are upset. Don’t say people are upset, I haven’t met any people who are upset by what I did to her.

  Admin: Well there are some people.

  Lakshmana: Well I just want to know what these “people” would do if a rakshasi came and threatened their family. You know?

  Admin: Yeah,

  Lakshmana: Because I know that it must be real easy to sit at home in front of a television or a computer screen and think oh man, if that was me I would not have cut that bitch, you know what I’m saying?

  Admin: Exactly, yeah.

  Lakshmana: I mean like it’s so easy to say shit like that and just run your mouth when you’re not there. I live with the threat of those motherfuckers every single day.

  Admin: Absolutely.

  Lakshmana: And I know what they’re capable of. I know how their minds work. So if you want to support her, that’s your choice. But I’m thinking maybe that’s an easy choice for you to make if you don’t live with that threat or if you’ve never even seen a real rakshasa up front and in your face.

  Admin: Exactly. And I was just looking through some of these sup port sites and petitions and I’m thinking-

  Lakshmana: Fucking bullshit man.

  Admin: Totally.

  Lakshmana: Every last one of those fuckers would have cut her same as me if they were in my position.

  Admin: So no regrets?

  Lakshmana: Absolutely not. I mean if I cut a rakshasi, she probably deserved it.

  Admin: Oh man, we’re going to put that on some t-shirts. Ray, can we get that on some t-shirts?

  Lakshmana: For real?

  Admin: Oh absolutely. I think a lot of Loyalists will really vibe with what you just said and they’d be proud to wear a t-shirt like that. I know I would.

  Lakshmana: Well that’s great man and I just want to say thank-you to all my fans and supporters and you Loyalists especially for just showing us so much love and support and being there and just being real, you know what I’m saying? I just want to say I really feel ya’ll, I really do.

  Message on Surpanakha’s Blog to Fans

  Hi everyone. I didn’t really want to post this but I feel that my fans deserve to know a few things. By now you guys have seen what happened to Khara and Dusana. And I know a lot of people are looking at it like a certain guy is so awesome for killing a whole army of rakshasas by himself. But the way I see it, I just lost my brothers who were trying to stand up for me. I’ve been dissed, teased, lied to and I’ve lost a lot of things in my life and every single loss has made me stronger. So I just want to tell all the haterz out there who hoped I would break down or cry or kill myself or whatever, fuck you haterz. I just keep coming back, I keep coming back harder and stronger and the more hate you throw at me, the harder I come back. Haterz gonna hate but I feed off that hate. I’m a bad bitch and when I say bad, motherfucker you have NO IDEA how bad.

  I know a lot of people have been saying stuff like I deserve to get cut and K and D deserved to die because we’re rakshasas and we shouldn’t have even been messing with humans in the first place. I’m not even going to respond to that because I’ve been hearing that shit all my life and I’m so over it. If that’s what you think, fine. I don’t give a fuck.

  If a certain guy rea
lly wasn’t interested in me, he could have been straight with me instead of being a player and lying. He could have been real with me like I was real with him. But you know what? I’m so over him, I’m so over his perfect wife and I’m so over his psychotown brother. I really am. I think there are things that just happen and they are bigger than you and all you can do is take the lesson and move on. I’m about to head out and stay with my brother Raavana for a while. I’m very upset about what has happened and I just need to be with family right now. Big love to my fans.

  Comments

  GenCodemidget: Why did you shape shift when you met this ‘certain guy’? I don’t necessarily mean this as a criticism. I guess I’m just interested in how this is ‘real’ or how his reaction was any less ‘real’ than yours and your implications of ‘real’. I mean, how real am I? I am just some pixels on a screen but does that make me less real than you? I’m just not sure I understand your constructs of reality and why you believe they are important enough to alter or why I should care. If you think I’m not real, does that mean I should change myself?

  AnonymousHaider: I think it’s neat how you came into a discussion about someone who got mutilated and had her brothers killed and made it all about yourself

  GenCodemidget: I don’t think that was necessarily what I meant to imply but I think it’s interesting you got that impression. I guess I’m more concerned about the concept of reality and its deconstruction. It’s something that mildly interests me, like when I go to the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, how does everything there and its reality relate to me? And how is that reality more relevant than, say, a plastic bag?

  AnonymousHaider: Mmmm, combination pizza huts.

  GenCodemidget: I don’t think I meant to necessarily imply any thing about combination pizza huts but I think it’s interesting that you like them. I guess I’m ambivalent about them as reality constructs.

  SurpaFan89: Love you Surpanakha, stay strong!

  Rakz4EVR: Rakz gonna break it down like a crazy motherfucker. It’s a brand new day son, you better RECOGNIZE. We got your back S.

  Surpanakha: First of all, thanks for all the love you guys, you’re seriously the best fans ever and I am humbled and grateful for every single one of you. Second, to GenCodemidget. If I hadn’t shapeshifted and gone up to this ‘certain guy’, I would be dead right now. That’s what’s real. That’s reality. Do you run the risk of getting killed just for being who you are? If you don’t, you need to shut the fuck up. I’m not ashamed of who I am but I’m not stupid. And I know how people treat rakshasas, I live that. That’s my reality. It’s obviously not your reality so you need to be thankful for that and just step off because you obviously don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

  Hi. I have this friend who really likes this guy. And she told him she liked him and he didn’t really say anything. Like he didn’t tell her to fuck off and he didn’t cut her or anything and that’s good, right? Anyway, she really likes him. She can’t stop thinking about him and she thinks they would make a great couple and he’s got some issues he’s trying to deal with right now and my friend knows she can really help him out. The thing is, he has this wife who’s really pretty and perfect. I mean she kind of just sits there but whatever, he seems to like her a lot. And my friend is nothing like the perfect wife. I mean, I know my friend is awesome in a lot of other ways but when people see her, they’re like whatever, you’re a fucking rakshasi, get the fuck out of my face, bitch. You know what I’m saying?

  Anyway, this guy has a psychotown brother who cut off my friend’s nose and ears and tits because he thought my friend was disrespecting the perfect wife. And I didn’t even touch her! I didn’t even touch her and she was like all scared and screaming and shit. I didn’t even touch her. And anyway I’m looking at her and I’m like, bitch please. If I had business to take care of, I’m thinking that I would want a bitch that’s got my back instead of a bitch that just sits there and screams, you know? But whatever. Anyway, after that there was a lot of drama and the guy, the guy my friend likes, he killed my friend’s brothers. And even though that’s like epic disrespect she still really likes him. So what should my friend do? She has this plan which could totally work to get him to like her. I think it would work. I mean she told me about her plan and I really think she should do it but she would like your opinion too.

  Statement on Surpanakha’s Blog to Fans

  Hey guys, big shout-out to my fans, you guys are amazing. I’ve been literally flooded with messages and emails and just a lot of goodwill from all you out there and I want to thank you all so much. I’m feeling a lot better now, being with my brother Raavana has been a good change for me. You guys probably saw him on last week’s show and he’s really an amazing guy. And I’m not just saying that because he’s my brother. I’m going to be real with you guys and tell you that we’ve had our problems in the past. But in the end, he’s a man I truly admire and I think as you guys watch the show, you’ll see what there is to
admire in him. I’d really appreciate it and consider it a personal favor if you guys could go over and show him some love on his blog and his Facebook fan page. He’s also just joined Twitter and I’m going to give you those links at the end of the post so you guys can head over and say hi.
