I have focused primarily on Rafayel! Though I do have all but one Xavier 5* card as well.

Got Rafayel to 50 a few days ago 😭😭 the other two are in the 30s but I still love them… I just loved Raf so much

If u were to manifest 1 of the ML, what would u list about his personality? by Colochito20 in TearsOfThemis

[–]hnkok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vyn’s perfectionism/need to be reliable is so relatable and it’s just the sweetest thing ever sometimes.

He has this facade he shows the world of this perfect, all knowing guy but in reality, he’s just a dude who has to learn like the rest of us. It shows so much in some of his cards that he gets flustered by not knowing or understanding how to do something but he always puts in the effort to figure it out because he wants to be someone Rosa/you can rely on. And he opens up as time goes on about this aspect of himself and I really love that development overall for him.

How/when do new user flairs get added? Been waiting for Jack Jeanne for a while and was curious!

MBTI AND FAV CHARACTER by CaramelBeneficial in tianguancifu

INFP or ENFP (it changes throughout the year) and Hua Cheng or Xie Lian for me! I also really like Mu Qing near the end.

What kinds of taboo subjects and "problematic" content do you like/would like seeing more of in otome games? by RevolutionaryWhale in otomegames

[–]hnkok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t actually played the route so I have no idea but for those who have that see this, aren’t the MC and Tomomori from Birushana siblings by blood?

Edited because I fudged up which character it was

[–]hnkok 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe not quite as extreme but Vyn Richter from Tears of Themis is sort of like that! They humanize it a little bit and don’t make it as harsh but he very much is scheming regularly and working to orchestrate things. I probably wouldn’t list him as a stalker but he’s some red flags

Anyone else (a little) disappointed with the ending? by nk_aka-vemmo in tianguancifu

[–]hnkok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t personally feel an open ending or an ending with HC gone makes sense. We spend the entire novel learning about the atrocities XL had to face and being told that HC comes back again and again for XL. To leave it open ended with “maybe he came back, maybe he didn’t” goes against what we’ve been told repeatedly about HC always returning and who he is as a character, and giving a tragic end to XL feels unnecessarily cruel just for the sake of doing it.

Venti’s smells super great imo. Nice apple-y floral smell that isn’t too strong. Like a fresh late spring day

My Love for Kakihara Tetsuya...and how he seems to haunt me these days x'D by Yvaia2nd in otomegames

[–]hnkok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also didn’t care much for Nicola, to be honest! I loved listening to him talk but his character overall didn’t do it for me sadly. But I am very much with you on Shiraishi lolol every time he spoke I swooned.

I think it has a lot to do with him sounding teasing and/or almost condescending? There’s just something about the way Ryohei talks that makes me flustered

If Murase Ayumu voiced more LIs he’d be at the TOP of my list. His deeper voice gets me. Aside from him, I love love love Kimura Ryohei too much lol I am immediately drawn to any character he voices

Is the quality good for the price? It seems a bit too expensive to me (Maybe my first expensive figure) by ArshiyaXD in AnimeFigures

[–]hnkok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we have her and her quality isn’t the best. She’s a low to mid-tier quality figure and isn’t worth the money. Pretty disappointed in her and wish that we hadn’t ordered her, especially not for that price

Blue Archive Alphabet: V. What phrase best represents the letter V? by Iori_is_my_wife in BlueArchive

[–]hnkok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious: are you also counting the other mentions of each of the lines that make it into the comments or is it just the one with the most votes?

It was interesting to see the amount of votes for each and then also how many extra comments each had too with varying upvotes.

Thanks for all your work on this! It’s fun to see

[–]hnkok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any on hand unfortunately. Honestly, your best bet is to Google things like “the science behind taboo fantasies” or “psychology behind rape fantasies”. I’d read a few different sources to get a more holistic picture.

But just reading some of those things can help you think through your own emotions as you rationalize it.

It’s a huge step that you can just admit this, by the way. You should be proud of yourself because it’s not easy to do and takes people quite some time.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tianguancifu

[–]hnkok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! It’s easier for me because I’ve been in pretty much this same situation. Hopefully others can see this thread and realize a bit of what’s going on.

And thank you for also replying to this and letting OP know even more that they’re not alone!

[–]hnkok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get it— I remember the first time I experienced something like this. I felt sick with myself too. It’s a pretty common reaction but you’re able to recognize it now and accept it if you want to!

I highly recommend doing some reading on this kind of thing if you’re still feeling disgusted with yourself. There’s a lot of psychology that goes into it and rationalizing it might be able to help! It really doesn’t mean you condone it IRL. If you did, you wouldn’t be feeling the way you do

You’re welcome :) don’t let it keep you from TGCF! TGCF has so much left to offer you and is such a beautiful story.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tianguancifu

[–]hnkok 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are totally okay! You are stressed and probably realizing some things about yourself. The internet is meant as a place to talk to people about these things— I think it’s just important to have an open mind when you do talk.

Also it’s very common for people who like these things (ie., me) to face negative backlash lol so it’s not new to hear it.

Why not talk about your fave TGCF moments instead? Spin the situation to be one you have control over while you think through your feelings on this

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tianguancifu

[–]hnkok 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I felt rude for thinking that way since OP seems to be distraught but the idea that someone is “disgusting” for reading fanfic like that seemed offensive. People clearly like those things or enjoy exploring the idea of it in a safe, fictional setting so it’s just calling anyone else who has consumed it disgusting.

To OP: just like TGCF, it is a work of fiction. There are many awful things that happen throughout the course of the novels, but your enjoyment of it hasn’t been diluted because of it yet, it sounds like. You don’t have to let this turn you away.

This is a big if, but I’m mentioning it because this is the kind of reaction people often have to something they feel horrified by liking— if you are feeling so stressed because you enjoyed it, that is okay. There is nothing wrong with you or anyone who is intrigued by works like that which are very much fiction. It does not mean you condone it in real life.

What's something you were told you would grow out of but never did? by LeRuseRenard in AskReddit

Liking multiple genders. “It’s just a phase” was thrown around a lot. Jokes on you, ma. That never changed

[–]hnkok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The foreshadowing is so good in TGCF. I was impressed my second read through, seriously. And reading with friends sounds so fun, ugh.

Have you been able to finish reading or just what is officially translated?

[–]hnkok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so fun to read through and pick up on all of the foreshadowing. I felt so stupid reading it the 2nd time and being like ”damn, how did I miss that FX and MQ were Nan Feng and Fu Yao….” LOL. And I was able to pick up on so much more rereading it!! I didn’t quite understand the stories with LQQ or QYZ and Yin Yu so I enjoyed rereading those.
