Re: Which song moved you the most?

Never noticed the song that's playing, much less the name.

Re: What is your story canon?

Definitely Sisterhood for Hanako (post Good End). Weekend at Hisao's for Shizune (post Good End).

Re: Hanako's Broken Heart Club

I would think that most people have dark humour regarding their depression.

Re: Hanako's Broken Heart Club

Winston Churchill famously called his depression his "black dog". If you like dogs, cuddle your black dog. But, train it well like any good dog owner. If not, lock it somewhere.

Re: Hanako's presents

They should be. Tolkien has been buried for nearly 40 years now.

Re: Hanako's presents

If Hanako likes the Starks, she'll probably flip the table come the Red Wedding.

Re: Hanako's presents

It's up her alley as it's fantasy. But boy, is the series dark. So many bad things happen to good people, it's not funny.

50 Shades of Grey is for Lily...

Re: Hanako's presents

On another note, recommending the first 4 books of A Song of Ice and Fire to Hanako...

Re: Hanako's presents

It's the same sort of logic as the one behind the maxim "To have peace, you must prepare for war."

Reading ALW's version of the story could help her at some level. I probably mentioned before that she blames herself a little too much for what has happened to her since the fire.

Re: Hanako's presents

Something tells me that they could be adopted by foster parents from Japanese communities overseas, like the States or even in Peru.

Re: Hanako's presents

Fundamentally, you need to recognise it and acknowledge that it exists. I enclose that infamous quote from The Prince in my signature.

Re: Hanako's presents

I'll go with "Able to appreciate the pure, but still not afraid to get dirty." Balance in all things.

Hanako did muse to herself that she never got adopted because of her scars. Can be soul crushing, whn you think of it that way.

Re: Hanako's presents

I think Hanako's condition has progressed beyond the stage where pressure masks would have made a difference.

I'll think that she grew up too quickly to have a childhood. She was helping out with the younger kids when she became older.

Re: Hanako's presents

Give anyone more than 10 hours a day for at least 5 days a week to explore the library, and you can find almost any book the library has to offer.

Re: Hanako's presents

There is her "friends" issue. I suspect that she is content with just reading books and not having to own them. She knows that she has no space in her dorm room, and after Yamaku, she has no idea where she's ending up.
