ooouch poor cobalt, he sounds really depressed, I know the feeling all too well, I think astro would try to do something about it though, maybe that could be chapter 2.

I knooow, I'm a horrible person! D: I forgot to add something, too, that might've made it worse: a little piece on how he was rejected by his "father", and his feelings regarding it. :d oh: God, I'm terrible...
I can't help but feel that I was interjecting a bit of my own angst into the story; while I cannot relate to his situation exactly, and while I'm certainly not as bad off, I am rather depressed most of the time, and have a sense of guilt about some things I can barely control.
Butyeah, Foxy is mean to her favorite characters. In this case, though, it's all inthe name of depth, as well as drawing from obsevations from what little I already know about him.

You've been busy all night hopefully discovered Libre office writer. I now know that laptop has found a good home. You've made me very happy. I get the feeling you've wanted to do this for a long time. A very good start, I hope you'll write some more.

You
nailed it, LBF . . . you have unleashed the angst of Cobalt Tenma.
Astro doesn't get treated all that well, either, though (the same guy rejected BOTH of them!). But Cobalt is somehow much more "human" to me. I think it would be a great fanfic for you to tell his story and bend it around as your imagination leads you.
Actually I like a lot of what Dan Rush did for him -- made him a pillar of internal strength and shrewd intellect. They say the difficult things we experience build up our strength and character (hmmm that's what

was doing to

in the 2003 series!

:ninja

-- Cobalt has awesome potential that goes way beyond butt-guns!
write moooore!!

Oh my gosh LBF
This was absoutely perfect.
This is almost literally the exact thing I have always wanted to write about but was too ashamed because I am terrible at angst. ;^;
And you've nailed it so much better than I could have.
I just
I wanna say so much more but I don't know how to put it into words.
This was definitely amazing though. ;w;
And it's definitely giving me some ideas... c:

You made me feel love for a character I barely know.
Congrats.

Cobalt/Jetto is the most underappreciated part of the Astro Boy universe!

Especially by Tezuka as he abandoned Cobalt after the 63 anime for Atlas.
