Re: What Would Each Minor Character's Route Entail?
Not sure, but how about, "Can you find strength in yourself?" (For Saki, that is.) Thanatos02 used "Can you keep moving forward?" for his Akira route, for what it's worth, although Akira actually has a disability (that you touched on) - alcoholism. (Thanatos02 portrayed Akira's alcohol consumption a...

Re: What Would Each Minor Character's Route Entail?
Ikuno's would become, "Can you be my sweetheart?" And I just realized that Ritsu's would be better as "Can you reach the light at the end of the tunnel?" to remove sight (and therefore implications of blindness, seeing how Lilly's question was phrased) from it. Now, Misaki's, there, any implications...

Naomi: "Can you find the perfect fit?" Ritsu: "Is there light at the end of the tunnel?" http://blakesnow.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/10/url-1.gif Although the format for all the canon ones is "Can you ...?", but still... for the Ritsu one, "Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?" ...

Re: What Would Each Minor Character's Route Entail?
Or even, rather than Blonde hair, Red eyes being 'her type', maybe she's just using Naomi as a Pseudo-Akira to replace the latter after she buggers off to Haggistown? :P Well, yes, but I wasn't going to put it like that. And, RA is one hell of a nasty disease when it comes to the mental effects, to...

Re: What Would Each Minor Character's Route Entail?
Could a NxN roufe feature a polygamous relationship? Did I just get a chubby thinking of that? don't answer that It's my headcanon that that actually could happen during Hisao's Lilly route. I mean, canonically, Hanako is getting closer to NxN in that route... and it's my headcanon that red-eyed bl...

Re: Juliet & The Scarecrow: Prologue & Character Bios
A surprising number of countries, even ones with strict gun control, you can get a .22 easily enough for sport shooting... but not Japan, unless he had it before the 1970s. Japan, the only thing you're getting is a shotgun, and then as soon as their father moved out, the cops would've seized it if h...

Re: After the Dream—Natsume's Story (20140607)
In my case, the solution is to apply very similar correction factors to both eyes, so that the brain isn't thrown off entirely. (Upshot is, I've got bifocals on top of a perfectly good left eye.) However, given that my brain simply ignores input from the right eye except in parts of my field of visi...

Oh, something else I just noticed... I track her finger. With eyes functioning at radically different powers, it’s a little difficult, but I get there. That's been the case since birth (or at least being a toddler) for her, given her particular condition, right? My left eye tests at 20/15, my right ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Can you open your heart?)
Is it bad that I actually thought the neutral ending was the best ending? Hisao gets to ditch Rika, and he gets a shot at an Emi route. Honestly, I actually struggle to believe the good ending, and suspect that Rika's fatalism isn't actually cured by Hisao's magical healing wand of emotions. She's s...

Re: Music that makes you think of KS
Considering that Misha and Shizune presumably never had sex, I'd say Hisao/Shizune. :P And, now, for some more Depeche Mode, because why the hell not... Depeche Mode - Shake the Disease . I actually usually think of Hanako POV, Hanako route... but that's not the closest match in KS. Rin POV, Rin rou...
