Amen, brother, amen!

Just because she's unable to express her feelings doesn't mean she doesn't have them. Her anxiety prevents her from acting, it doesn't prevent her from thinking - in fact, it may well even cause her to overanalyze things. That's fine—internal monologue is -always- more complex than external express...

This is the sixth part of Rin's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. Rin 6: Tangerines (T +20) We used to eat tangerines together. Now, there’s no more ‘we’ and there are no more tangerines. There aren’t so many squid-fishermen in Tsushima, and maybe the squid will come back....

Accept Your Fate

Resign yourself to a shipping that means absolutely nothing

Captain of Your Fate

Resign yourself to a shipping line and then realise that's not a VN route.

Personally, I think much of the world (particularly an insular group such as this) can use a shake-up whether it's well-written or not. We don't just wake up one day knowing how to write effectively. It takes time, and if enabling the growth of writers is outside your scope, that too should be laid...

I kinda have to agree with the general consensus that that was a little to far to go... I dunno; if Potato was OK with it, where's the harm? It'd be different if he was offended or outraged at the representation, but to the extent he's OK with it, there isn't anything intrinsically wrong with the p...

The arc is neatly touching all the plot bases so far, but what feels awkward to me is that first-person-present Hanako is too advanced to be canon Hanako in terms of psychological process. If it had been first-person-past Hanako, you could always put it down to character development over time. But t...

… you watch Captain America: Winter Soldier and see a scene between Steve Rogers and a certain love interest, and you think of Hisao and Lilly. Sigh.

Okay.

Yes.

That is high praise.

So I told them a story about how once upon a time there were three sisters, and two were blonde and golden and beautiful and their father was a rich man who was never around. The last one was dark and shy and only a stepsister yet she was the most beautiful. And the younger blonde girl stole the pr...

Honestly, not sure how I feel about Miki x Rin in any way, shape, or form. As friends with benefits, it somehow feels predatory to me (this may be influenced by NekoDude's Miki, though). Like Miki's taking advantage of Rin. And I know, that's falling into the trap that Hisao falls into with Hanako,...

I love all these... little details that get carefully woven in. Miki backstory. Not sure how I feel. Meiko the unflappable supermom. Outlives her daughter, finds second love with a doctor, is more of a mother to Rin than her own mother, takes care of the grandkids, keeps a cooool heaaad, a girl in ...

This is the fifth part of Rin's arc in 'After the Dream', my post-Lilly-neutral-end mosaic. It runs from 2028 to 2029. Rin 5: Yarrow (T +4) I need to spend more time talking to my paper and my canvas. When I talk to people it spoils things. It helps to have my own room. But Hisao’s children come in...

I mean, it'd be like looking in to an alternate universe for real for them. Let's assume that we're talking about the girls' personalities being canon to their route, and then they're looking at the other ones. There's some differences in portrayal... do you think they'd be happy with how they are ...

Could Mayoi be the sick aunt? Lilly has sick, aging grandparents, which are going to be Mayoi's parents. Bailing on one's parents to move to Scotland is pretty bad. But it would be bad enough that I think Lilly's parents would also cut her. Perhaps Lilly's father gave her shelter just to spite Jigo...
