Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

What I'm also interested in is what she does with her inputs: she reads a lot, she is a pretty good language processor — newspaper club and all. What are her romantic influences, her fictional role models, that kind of thing? Being well read, I'd imagine Hanako's tastes are probably more mature tha...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

Now that I'm thinking about it, Hanako might have the most flexible personality of the main cast, ranging from 'A Shy Lilly' to 'Spiteful Hikikomori'. I suppose it's because she has the largest disconnect between her ideal and her reality? Hanako's clearly no stranger to low self-esteem, and her bad...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

Clearly, things like Sisterhood , Developments and AtD don't make the cut... :D Edit: Heh, it seems to be a matter of record that you liked ' Change in Management '. :) Ah, you'd think I'd learn to read the question completely before answering, eh? You'd be wrong. Okay, now that's I'm done being an...

Re: Comment from the Chair

I'm particularly fond of Blank's two Shizune/Hanako pieces-- "Missteps and Mistakes" and " Game Night ". This is the first time I've been mentioned in the Book Club and by Leaty and oh my god, what is this feeling I still kinda dislike 'Game Night', if I'm being honest. It's a l...

I am never going to catch up, am I?

Still on book three.

Brythain has the monopoly on that anyway.

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

For that reason (well, that and that I'm deeply cynical myself) the parts of Hanako that resonate with me are her cynicism and bitterness. Well, of course. The most engaging piece in any work is when a character drops the act and expresses themselves openly and honestly, and usually for the worse. ...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

I'll also throw in my approval of the adoption, although GP obviously did a better job explaining why than I would. If I had to summarize it, I would say that Hanako accepts the adoption not as an emotional dependent, but as an equal, and that growth as a person doesn't require that you distance you...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

Fair points, but I feel like bitter anger is a very short term emotion, and that it's not exactly sustainable for the long haul. One of the reasons Trivun's Hanako struck me as odd was that she acted as though her friend's abandonment happened very recently. In my experience, that kind of resentment...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: Aug/Sep—Hanako)

Eh? But I haven't even finished the Mutou readings yet! Ah well, I'll get to them, sorry Fardel. Like Kaser, I hit the boards here as a newly-minted Hanabro, back when I was on TV Tropes nigh-constantly. (I wouldn't have even bothered with the fanfic recommendation page if it wasn't for Touhou Ibuns...

Re: The Fixers - "Clash of Steel" 21-8-15

I was thinking people would pick up on the more overt homage I'm going for rather than the fact I used 'shopped Fate models :lol: I wasn't criticizing, at least not seriously. I just get excited when F/SN is involved. (That and Touhou.) ( Is there a Yamaku in Gensokyo?) Molly will use Excalibur, bu...

Re: The Fixers - "Clash of Steel" 21-8-15

Aw, and here I was hoping Archer Molly would use Excalibur to beat Saber. Also, I feel bad for the poor bastard who has to fight Kiritsugu Setou, who has probably already rigged the area they're standing on with explosives. I can't be a massive Fate/Stay Night fan and not notice these things, Sharp!...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Update: August—Mutou)

Yeesh, and I'm already behind. I've been procrastinating about procrastinating. God help me. Light Up the Night ----------------------------- So... Fight Club is a thing. Okay, whatever, I can almost kind of see Mutou as played by Edward Norton. Like, actually, that's pretty good casting. But anyway...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Meeting Reminder)

Just a reminder about the next in sequence: Hanako Ikezawa. If all that needs to be said about Mutou-sensei has already been said, do PM me suggestions for Hanako's segment, lasting from end-August through September! :) Actually, my default plan was to post biweekly. I'll comment in juuuuust a bit.
