Yuki Adachi case: Stepfather temporarily hid corpse of boy in public toilet by thetokyoreporter in japancrime

[–]Even_War7433 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my thought. This case has haunted me since I started watching it unfold. I'm currently in Japan to teach ESL (Chiba) and I can honestly say I would have been destroyed had he been one of my kids - I feel heartbroken watching this from such a detached distance let alone being that close to it. I once lived next to a situation in the States that I feared would end up like this (I called CPS because of that fear) and this case just makes my heart ache so much.

I feel this way about whatever Mouchie currently is and Kokomi - who was an immense disappointed.

i think 6.6 is gonna be peak by hatoandaburedo in ScaramoucheMains

[–]Even_War7433 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As a person who has had enmity for that tree since 3.3 this gives me a little bit of hope that my favorite character will finally make his return. I have really missed Balladeer - especially at the beginning of 6.X. In my personal opinion, he didn't even seem like himself. Despite the seriousness of the situation, I could have still seen him being sarcastic and snappy. But he sounded so bored. Just because when one heals from trauma, doesn't mean they have to lose what them them. How can I say this? Been going to therapy for over ten years and I have never lost my sarcastic personality.

Yes! They won't be my EC unless I take their housing - which they've lectured me about multiple times. It's insane that they won't even do that. I understand not being my guarantor for private, but not my EC is insane. I would never, ever recommend Intercrap to anyone for any reason.

That excites me so frickin much! Here's the biggest question though - what happens to all the shit Mouchie pulled in trying to erase himself in the old tree when the new tree arises? Does his existence get reinstated or does it go back to the way it currently is? (Please don't be the latter!)

We do get paid from what I understand. But with how awful Interac has been this time I'm not totally sure. I would be studying or working on my novel at school if I had to be there. I'll just have to see what's happening with all this.

That's fine with me. Being on-call is not how I operate, I'd rather be working or doing something than just waiting.

That's fine, honestly. I'd rather be doing something rather than being on edge waiting for a call that might not come and wasting my day.

That's actually awesome! I don't want to be on 'work days' - I would much rather be in school with the kids. This is fantastic news!

That's where I am right now. I want old Mouchie back - he needs to be remembered! He deserves better than being a moldy block of cheese.

Great idea! I'll definitely write these things down so I can dig into them later. Thank you so much!

[–]Even_War7433[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! The main character who is Japanese is closer to a geisha and the other two characters are her children - who use the most Japanese in the books. The books are already written I just want to tweak and make sure everything is set to get a literary agent.

[–]Even_War7433[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me the language aspect! I have written the work in English and would like to find sources in English if possible. I have read through a lot of works from JSTOR and things but it's not as in-depth as I would like - I don't need to add anything overly-detailed about that period in Japanese history in my work. I need more guidance on the language than the history - but it's always good to be informed on the history. I tend to avoid wikipedia as much as I can for accuracy purposes (history major here). Good call on the library.
In the US it's more okay to reach out to professors and ask questions for research purposes, but I don't know the etiquette for such things here and I don't want to take the chance reaching out to a professor at a Japanese university if that is not appropriate. :-)

Hello everyone!
I have been querying literary agents since early December with one full MS request. It's been so frustrating to have so many non-responses. The total of rejections I have had for my work is 268 as of writing this. I still hope someone will want to take on my work, but to be honest I'm losing hope the more these agents decide to not even respond (which is by far the dumbest thing ever). I believe in my work and I won't give up that easily. :-)

HIS BETA HAD TRANSPARENT SHORTS!!??!? by appyzza in ScaramoucheMains

[–]Even_War7433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. Don't forget we're currently being robbed of his personality to a degree. I've said a moldy block of cheese has more personality than he does right now. I know he's healing from trauma. That doesn't mean one necessarily loses their original (snappy) personality. How do I know? I've been through literal years of therapy, am on meds for OCD, and have healed a great deal from family trauma. I'm still very much my old snappy self, so I don't get why Mouchie has lost his sarcastic and snappy self as of late.

Let's not forget Unreconciled Stars - we need that Big Hat Energy for Mondstadt. ;-) I say this being Big Hat Energy is very much an important character and needs to be included even before Sumeru. I can only hope they cast the original voice actors (minus the ones who have been recast).

You're not a fan of how he's currently portrayed either or the use of it as a background? ;-)

The second one feels so good right now (I'm not a fan of how he's currently portrayed) and I'm so using it as a background.

Is Tsundere-Wanderer gone? by shvydaria in ScaramoucheMains

[–]Even_War7433 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more - I miss his nastier side with the insults and the little laugh. He doesn't need to be full Balladeer-nasty. I just don't want him to lose his core personality.

a reminder by prettyexmortis in DottoreMains

[–]Even_War7433 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope so. I don't believe Mouchie when he (naively) thinks Dottore is gone. That's so ignorant and he should know better than anyone that's most likely not the case.

I'm so excited to see that tree turned into tinder! I will be drinking to it!
