No, now I'm confused. If Misha thinks it's bound to be awkward and horrible why does she stick around rather than taking the hint and moving on? And no offense Pickman, but I don't want spiders getting anywhere near my jimmies. Can we just be internet friends? :mrgreen: I think he ment that I'm see...

Get it now?

Yeah, I'd sort of realised at this point...

Guess that means I've got a secret crush on Nemz.

You don't need to be someone else to be able to relate in some way; empathy isn't some kind of abstract concept. I've had an experience which was fairly similar, but which I felt I handled a lot better than Shizune, since it didn't suddenly blow up like it did with their relationship. Don't think th...

It's only awkward if you make it awkward. If you REALLY want them as a friend then that means accepting them as they are and giving them the chance to do the same within the established boundaries of a non-romantic relationship. If you don't give the other that honest chance to accept the situation...

Then it's quite likely you and all your friends are just dicks. The zoner made an offer, take it or leave it. It's only awkward until the zonee gets over it or decides to move on. Typically a zoning happens LONG before anything I'd describe as 'strong feelings' develops. Infatuation goes away prett...

I'd already been diagnosed with depression when I first played the game, and it honestly cheered me up a bit.

What's this "void" you're talking about?

@nemz Again, I'm saying that I have personally never seen something like that work out. Creates an awkward tension, plus I doubt strong feelings simply fade away. To address your other point: Misha had been feeling suicidal, and was clearly extremely depressed, to the point where she became desperat...

Seems the japanophile I was waiting for was you after all, Ravenlord.

I hope you block me like you said you would in that other thread, cause it will only serve to prove how much of a child you are.

From my perspective it sounds more like you're bashing her for circumstances beyond her control. Don't get me wrong, she's my least favorite of the KS heroines (though that's not saying much), but I don't think she's at all deserving of so much animosity. Shizune's inability to hear dosn't justify ...

If you REALLY friendzoned them then yes, that's exactly what you do... treat like any other friend. If you instead give them the 'friends' line but then ditch them out of awkwardness then you're being a dick. A friendship is never gonna be the same again after something like that. Never heard of a ...

Shizune was isolated by her condition for pretty much her entire life. It's established that she never even attempted to talk to her father for twelve years. How can you expect her to have normal human interaction with others when she can't even consistently communicate with her own family? You're ...

Or to rephrase, Misha propositioned Shizune, got friendzoned, and the two of them tried to carry on as though nothing had happened. This is not uncommon. While Shizune was very invested in the idea of keeping Misha as a friend, Misha wanted more out of it and kept deluding herself by thinking that ...

Will your characters exist in a KS-like settings? Will they have disabilities, etc?

Rin -> Lilly -> Shizune -> Emi -> Hanako

Glad I saved Hanako's ending for last, cause it was probably the most emotional one, even though she's not my favorite girl.

>massive wanker >teenage boy Seriously. That's one hell of a tautology. I'd disagree on the 'issues'. Shizune has flaws. They aren't going to magically disappear like Emi's or Lilly's because of a magical healing protagonist, but through the events of her route she learns to recognize her particula...
