There's also the possibility that he could tell Hisao was introducing sign language to Hideaki, but he a low opinion of it, so he slams it. (despite the fact it would be in his interest to actually be encouraging his son's interest in the subject rather than ridiculing it) Personally I think it ref...

I'm sorry if I'm bringing up something that has been discussed earlier (I did not read through all posts, they were... well, huge XD), but I don't think Jigoro and subtlety mix very well. Okay, that's not entirely true. Jigoro and this kind of subtlety don't mix very well. If something on his mind,...

Looks like For Want of a Nail is currently around 76.6k. Damn. And I'm only around halfway done. Between Helbereth, Scissorlips, and Hoitash (?!), It seems somewhat unlikely I'll end up in the top 3 wordiest fics. Looks like top 5 is nearly a given unless people start getting extremely prolific. And...

I kind of feel that's a very convoluted reading of the situation. If you were with two other people and person A held up a sign to person B saying "tell that guy to shut up" and person B then says "shut up", there's no need to ask who's the one talking. The most logical conclusion would be that per...

I don't know about ambiguity. When Shizune signs to Hisao "Tell him not to insult my friends.", Hisao translates that into spoken language and Jigoro asks him who of the two is talking, it's quite obvious he wasn't able to understand what Shizune was signing in the first place. I'd argue that it's ...

That whole Jigoro part of the story is simply unbelievable in my opinion. It could also be that Jigoro just started to care for her, but she thinks it's too late (that would at least be plausible). Uhm... what? I present one possible interpretation, and point out that taking the literal meaning is ...

It's not something you should accept lightheartedly. No Sane father would accept it so easily if his daughter wouldn't talk to him for years. How much agency do you attribute to someone who is probably learning the alphabet? That is ridiculous. First off, where did anyone imply that this was accept...

What if the author actually intended that Hisao doesn't think about it, or he didn't thought about it himself? That's pretty much what I had assumed, and, really, it's not that unusual. If life's moving quickly, you don't really have the time, opportunity, or inclination to stop and take a look at ...

That's not what i meant. Browbeating his daughter surely isn't the only approach, and most likely not the best approach in that situation. How does this come at first (and solely) in your mind? I must have misinterpreted your comment. I read it as "if he's so alpha, why can't he make his daughter t...

You haven't been looking very hard for Rin fics. Direction fits all the criteria you've stated. Your point still stands, seeing as it's the only substantial fic that comes to mind, but give credit where it's due. I like to imagine that I haven't had much trouble writing Kenji or Akira. Kenji comes s...

Is it? Would you say that it's wrong to say that Kenji is paranoid? You know, it's a disorder that can require medication and therapy. Still, i'm sure that everyone would agree that Kenji is paranoid - It's obvious. You can use paranoid as an adjective to describe behavior just as well as narcissis...

As for when she became deaf, I think it's pretty much established that she's been deaf since birth. The line in the novel is: For twelve years, Shizune did not even talk to me, even though I hired multiple tutors and interpreters of all sorts for her to try and get her to become normal. The phrasin...

You're doing it again. If diagnosing people with autism is wrong, it's also wrong to diagnose them with narcissism. Using a few specific instances, I could probably diagnose Hisao with sociopathic megalomania, with only a slight massaging of the data. But it wouldn't be useful, informative, or const...

How can he earn money? Easy - he's an Alpha. If you have talent and the right kind of assertiveness, you can be a complete asshole and be successful in spite of it. Some would even argue that you're successful because you're a complete asshole, but that's another subject entirely. Maybe in the west...

It may be that there are a lot of deaf people who do think so, but Shizune has never been known to mince words. I guess I wasn't really clear there. What you're saying is exactly the point. They don't dance around the subject. Deaf people are known to cut to the chase, leading to the term "deaf blu...
