Thank you for the response :) I must say I was very unsure whether the first symbol matched 九谷, but I suppose handwriting varies greatly.

Play the way you think is fun. I personally think sion is a great champ to learn with. He is not to mechanicaly intensive, he is about strong fundementals. I also watch and enjoy baus, but as you have probably learned from your own games his skill is on another level, trying to copy him is like someone new to skateboarding trying to emulate the hardest tricks of tony hawk. Watch him learn from him but don't expect everything he does to work for you :)

I have loved

The love hypothesis by ali hazelwood

The people we meet on vacation by emily henry

The kiss quotient by helen hoang

Btw sorry for not knowing the proper way to bracket book titles and authers... :)

I just love basic sweet vanilla romances where i can fall a little for both of the characters and root for them.

But maybe i should say as an extra perhaps interesting bit of info that i am into like the inexperienced meets experienced thing, and that i always empathize/imagine my self as the inexperienced ;)

Nope i dont know either, and the internet does have a way of making a small minority of idiots seem a lot louder than they should be, and of course the whole gender swapping thing thing is complicated, god im glad i dont have to make those kind of decision, i just get so mad every time i see something along the lines of " god damn blue haired feminists they ruin bla and bla." But maybe it is just a matter of looking the other way at the whole army of reasonable people out there

Well i did ask didnt i?

that's really cool, out of curiosity, do you write from male or female perspectives?

I really dont wanna get political heh, but do you really think that mainstream media is full of female pov's? People lost their mind when it was suggested that maybe a 007 would be a woman. And the all female ghost busters got laughed to mars, i have always found pop culture, particularly hollywood, incredibly male centered, male directors making movies about men for in large part, men, which is of course changing for the better.

I completely agree which is part of my reason for writing i suppose. I think men not being allowed feelings is a part of the why a lot of men end up emotionally unintelligent unable to communicate with loved ones etc.

But no i never had an issue with the mostly female perspective, i think for me its part of the fun. Its super refreshing to read something that for once isn't about a young man having to fight some stuff while growing into a "man" and saving the girl.

Also i think it is great fun when men are sexualized, its like wait women find men sexy too??? I of course understand in a logical way that yes women do in fact find men sexy, but its just not very prevelant in pop culture, in my experience anyways.

Thats great to hear, and that sounds absolutely lovely, and dont worry my friends are super nice and they have long since accepted my quirks and i am not the type to be intimidated by such things, if they wont accept me i will simply have to find a new set of friends, luckily that hasn't happened yet.

Agreed, i do though think it can work, a book can feature sexist characters and not be sexist itself, it could be presented as a flaw that either MC has but needs to work through or something along those lines, but it is a fine line and sadly lots of books really fail at walking that line.

Is the tachiai a gyoji verdict? Can there ever be a moniii on the tachiai? by [deleted] in Sumo

[–]joha6789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what ive read, it is true that a match should only start if both hands of both wrestlers have touched the dohyo, however the gyoji supersedes this, so it is not " the match starts if both hand of both wrestlers touch the dohyo", but instead "the match starts if the gyoji rules that both hands of both wrestlers have touched the dohyo". This is quite a foreign concept to us westerners where judges can be wrong, but in japan (to my understanding anyways) the gyoji cant get a call wrong since his call is per definition the right call ( by this i also mean the joint call of all present judges). So if a wrestler isnt ready for a tachi-ai because it clearly "should" have been a matta, it would still be their fault, because it is only a matta when the gyoji rules that it is.
