Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

I already finished The Antichrist but don't know what to cover of his after BGE. I was thinking of going back to the begining and reading the Birth of Tragedy or the Geneology of Morals. And to think I was so big on Immanuel Kant mere months ago. Freddy tore right into his empty heart.
Makes one wonder what Nietzsche thought of the Samurai of Feudal Japan. I'm trying to write a story about a Samurai's daughter who chases after her father for allegedly abandoning his duty to guard a mountain shrine.
Nietzsche's causing me to rethink my approach to the whole concept of duty and how it is actually impossible (or at least abominable) to divorce one's emotions from obligation.
Genealogy of Morals will expand upon some of the central themes of BGAE - especially the master/slave morality distinction. Birth of Tragedy is an early work which, whilst very interesting, is really Nietzsche's first attempt at expressing certain ideas, and is less clear than later works. Twilight of the Idols is good, and does a good job of giving various darlings of Western culture a good kicking! Other than that, Thus Spake Zarathustra is a poetic expression of his key ideas.
Interesting project you have. Yes, it would be interesting to see what Nietzsche thinks about feudal Japan. My feeling is that he would recognise the master morality in their social organisation, whilst being critical of the authoritarianism and the straight jacket of the social code. He is critical elsewhere of the emotional restraint of certain oriental cultures, and it seems that his own ideal was closer to the renaissance concept of the complete man - the warrior poet and philosopher artist.
Duty in Nietzsche is always a duty to oneself - or rather, to overcome oneself and upbringing, and strive to achieve one's highest personal ideal via intelligence, self-sacrifice, courage and creativity (at least, that's my interpretation!).
Take that, Western Philosophy!
