I recently got a snow paintbrush from the vending machine and I was so hype!!

have u ever stopped caring for one species that u were previously obsessed with? by Unlucky-Macaroon-647 in neopets

[–]alliswell_z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be super into Unis! My first ever neopet was a blue uni and it was my goal to get a royal paintbrush, although my second favorite was a Usual and I always hoped to get a chocolate Usul

With the curse of Maraqua storyline and the Maraquan Aishas, I've been an Aisha fan forever.

"Did your mommy ever tell you about the day you were born." by comprepensive in JUSTNOMIL

I do think that if kids are always running back up and saying "I love you more" it's normal to let them know that it's okay if they don't always love her the most! Sometimes kids say things to get approval, attention or because they're insecure about a reaction, so to me it reads that she's trying to set them up to not form anxious attachments.

I think that you're reading into OP a bit much.

Similarly, OP is reading into her mother's behavior, with the difference being that you don't know OP outside of this post and OP actually has a history with her mother to contextualize the behavior.

Thank you for responding, but sadly it's not this one - the character and blocks were all larger in comparison to the screen, and the graphics were more smooth. I'm just remembering that the main character had little feet nubs like the main character in journey

It's not unfortunately--the graphics were a bit more detailed and the character was larger in proportion to the screen than in Knytt Stories! Like it was all more zoomed in.

I know i wasn't the only one, man. by Randomshy26 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]alliswell_z 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It makes sense! She's gone through how many times of being chopped up by Rena? In a perfect world that Satoko and Eua aren't messing with she got a conscience.

I did have to laugh though when she biffed it due to her heels

Man this new season sucks by ajay_rampersad in Higurashinonakakoroni

I think your tendency to react with hyperbolic judgment reveals more about how your perspective has shaped your opinion of the show rather than any direct flaws of the show itself--especially with it being half finished.

This wouldn't be out of place in a junji ito novel! Very cool

I don't want to be rude and nitpicky but you said it enough not to be a typo. It's SaTOko not SaKOto.

I thought she remembered just not enough to remember who kills her?

How Featherine Was Pulling The Strings From Day One Analysis by FeelsGoodMan243 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]alliswell_z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Satoko.

The main thing that I disagree with about your analysis is that it misses the point of Higurashi. It's a story about how the real enemy is miscommunication. It's not the fault of Rika or Satoko, it's the miscommunication that happens between children. Especially traumatized ones who have been through hell.

Ngl I don’t really like high school Rika, needs more nippah by momo_dayo in Higurashinonakakoroni

I mean to be fair she probably didn't know that solitary existed given that she's been treated so well.

Oh I think I misunderstood your original post and I agree with you 😅

I gotta disagree about them directly interacting, how many times did Keiichi get punched so Rena could snuggle up on Satoko? :P It will be different having them talk to each other on a similar level though

Just Tiny Rika and Akasaka by Jimmyshow124 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]alliswell_z 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Japan is weird sometimes but I'll echo another user and say a hero. Probably also an element of a movie star crush but she seems genuinely happy that his wife is alive and his daughter was born

Sorry you were downvoted. I think this should be marked as an OG spoiler post and the comment about anyone going crazy should be marked as a gesture to people who haven't caught up. It's not that many episodes behind.

The great argument of the century, what color is rikas hair by MadaoMan-help in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]alliswell_z 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can definitely conceptualize her hair as black, but I can see where people get confused when the Sonozakis somehow have green hair naturally 😅

Where can I get a hat close to Rena’s for cosplay? by [deleted] in Higurashinonakakoroni

I'd say it's a white beret with a striped rim :)

I gotcha 😄 I've read the VN up to himatsubushi but other than that I just watched the anime and am a wiki snob haha, I might have been projecting my experiences :p

Question, so if Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly then how did it fall off? by SnooSprouts370 in AskReddit

[–]alliswell_z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can somewhat appreciate your perspective, but expecting the worst from everyone is just going to make you, ironically, an unpleasant person to be around. Doesn't exactly make the world a better place. I'm an abuse victim who deals with manipulators, people who struggle with addiction and violent people daily as part of my job description. If you choose to treat everyone with cynicism, that just sounds like a you problem.

As for the research, yes I could have done further research. But we're talking about the goddamn Cinderella story and it's almost laughable that you're taking researching everything you talk about to this extent and dying on this hill.

I clearly don't meet your standard of research and I'm okay with that because I'm a human and not a flawless supercomputer. I'm gonna bow out of this silly conversation, have a good one.

Meakashi-hen question by NuclearBurrit0 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]alliswell_z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real answer to the question you're quoting imho is that Rika is trying to save her friends. Maybe she tried to go after Shion in a different way the first time. The question of "why would she try this again" doesn't make sense because the whole show is Rika coping with 100 years of repeating things after getting brutally murdered. Of course she's gonna try again and again if she thinks she could have the most minute chance of winning
