Re: Crippling phobias

It certainly didn't help that I went to a school that was 25 mi away from home (and then we had a house fire (nobody was home at the time, though) and I moved to 45 mi away), that was (because of its specialties) mostly male, and students were bussed in from all over the region. And, I was in a rura...

Re: Crippling phobias

I have a crippling fear of romantic rejection. Like, Hanako-level anxiety about it. Except mine doesn't manifest as a flight response, it manifests as dancing around the situation, then changing the subject because I can't get myself to broach the subject of my romantic interest in someone, and hati...

Re: Developments (Post-Lilly Neutral End) - Chapter 47 up 8/

Really, it always took horrendously convoluted explanations to make Hiroyuki and Jigoro having different family names while still being brothers make sense - the simplest being that Jigoro took Mayoi's family name, which seems massively out of character. And, "Satou" as a Scottish family name? I thi...

The formatting is... interesting.

Unexpected Mayoi back story is highly interesting.

Re: Katawa Shoujo 1.2 released!

Now I'm going to have to play all the way back through to compare changes between 1.1 and 1.2, good excuse for another full playthrough rather than just cherrypicking which scenes I need to cite. (The "minor language changes" matter for fanfic, damnit. :P) I guess I'll hand-generate a (English-langu...

Re: Random KS Discussion

Basically what SpunkySix said. And I about got whiplash once when a past friend (who I intellectually knew was quite physically attractive, but I didn't pay attention to that - FWIW, she was the one that was like Akira in Emi's body, and ended up defining quite a lot of my preferences today, althoug...

Re: Music that makes you think of KS

Fugazi - Long Distance Runner - "I can't keep your pace if I want to finish this race, my fight's not with it, it's with the gravity" reminds me of a certain route about a runner, although it doesn't play out exactly the same, but it still fits.

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 2/23/2014}

Blah, terminology for sexuality is complex. Thanks for the clarification. (And, yeah, I should've known that, too - a straight person who's attracted to a transgender person of the opposite gender is still straight, as an example of that...) In any case, I'll stick with Hanako being pansexual in my ...

Re: Random KS Discussion

Keeping in mind that I need a strong enough emotional connection as well as finding someone physically attractive, to be attracted to them... Akira slightly > Emi ~= Hanako. Nobody else could break the emotional threshold, I suspect. For purely physical attractiveness, the order's Akira slightly > E...

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 2/23/2014}

I was just going to let it go to PM to stop cluttering up this thread, but might as well post the rationale. We'll start with that post, which is admittedly stretching things a bit: http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9239&p=187298#p187298 And then, why pansexual specifically? If one accepts Han...

Re: Ask!

Also, quite relevant to this story, is that one of the causes of congenital deafness is LQT1... which is the most common form of long QT. Essentially, you could quite easily have someone who's deaf and also arrhythmic at Yamaku... Which actually leads to the next question... what variant of long QT ...

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 2/23/2014}

If Hanako is her love-interest, I'm curious to see her character development (I've always been surprised that someone so lacking in social relations has such strict sexual norms or have never confused at any time sincere friendship with love, and imagine that she can falling in love with a girl who...

Re: The Best Time in Her Life

Goats somehow are even more troublesome than cats, especially the smaller ones. I know this from personal experience, having grown up around Oberhasli (a full-size breed) and Nigerian Dwarves (a miniature dairy breed). However, it's socially acceptable to eat a goat (and I have eaten a goat that tho...
