Why does it matter? If you're not using it as an insult, then how is either term not perfectly apt? Because in English, synonyms rarely are perfectly synonymous in effect. X might be a bastard, or illegitimate; the two may be synonymous for his legal status. But 'bastard' is seen as a gratuitous pe...

Akiko Ibarazaki Nakai A Letter to Mother (Thursday 6 Jan 2039) To my most esteemed mother, who is no longer with me and who was a great athlete: Greetings from your beloved daughter, who is named Akiko because she is coloured like the season of autumn. Dear Mother, I humbly apologise for not writin...

I think I might shared this one before, but my headcanon is that Lilly's Act 4 appearance in Shizune's route isn't a script error, but that Hisao is actually having tea with Lilly's doppelgänger. When Hisao remembers, months later, that Lilly would have been in Scotland at that time, he quite natur...

I'm sure Emi is well aware she's likely to outlive Hisao by potentially 40 years or more, and likely doesn't like being reminded of that, not that I can blame her. I'm not sure where everyone gets that idea: "Compared to other heart problems, people with your condition usually tend to live long liv...

Just a little something for the sake of amusement while my brain unknots itself... Here's the cast of that movie about people with dysfunctional superpowers, and those who have to live with them. Judicious use of hair dye etc might be necessary. Starring... Brett Dalton —Agent Hisao Nakai Iain De C...

It sounded alright to me, but that being said I'm not exactly from the most grammatically eloquent of regions of the UK :lol: thanks, I'll fix that. Do you guys think I should go back to the previous title then? I only really chose 'Fitting In' as a quick jab at the fact Naomi is epileptic :P Heh, ...

Are there any such jokes that would be amusing in a Japanese context?

I wrote the first draft of this very short piece after reading the famous Suzu pseudo-route (or pseudo-pseudo-route) by Scissorlips. In that tale, Suzu's opponent is as much a player of games as another character we know quite well. This is where that character takes over from Suzu. Up She sat dang...

I'm not quite sure if the choice with nurse really has no effect... Sure reads like it should, doesn't it? But the seekrit runes seem to say no… The one choice is whether you're going to look after your own health or not, at 'Waylay'. If you do, you allow yourself the Emi option, if you reply 'Mayb...

So the primary meaning is a voluntary turning off of the sound, but the dictionary meaning, so often quoted here as proof (unable to) is only the secondary meaning? The primary meaning is the incorrect one. ... What? I told everyone the perception of the word as it stands to day, after multiple pos...

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Like, really really sarcastic. And I agree with him. It's why I don't like Shizune. Even if you don't get the Bad End, most of that stuff is still true. It's why am sympathetic to Shizune. She's finally realised why her life is so screwed up, and she's going to t...

scratchminus wrote:But yeah, I think your suggestions helped, and I really appreciate it! Especially since I consider Hisao to be almost an extension of myself, so accidentally making him out to be a dick would be bad. XD

Oh dear, so which appendage of you is he now?

People would be a lot better off in general if they focused less on words and more on the meaning behind them. "Mute" just means soundless. Some guy prefers "Voice Off"? Great. He can call himself that. Me? I prefer "mute" so I'll call him that. Nobody needs to be offended on either end when the me...

My headcanon about Kenji is that he's a paranoid goon, that he sees conspiracies where none exist, and that Yuuko eventually finds a different boyfriend who isn't a complete nutcase. :wink: EDIT: On which note, my headcanon about him is also that he and Yuuko were dating different people to begin w...

My headcanon re Kenji is that he's absolutely right that there are conspiracies, but he's missed the REAL conspiracies because he hasn't enough data.
